(Doris' POV)
Mark and Erbort followed my orders, and continued to draw Liddell's blood, enough to donate this blood to five persons and was already getting injected into Sofia. She was taken to the other ward away from Liddell and was looking all feeble and fragile.
"Doris! Have you gone mad? How dare you do this?!" Sofia, who had been lying weakly on the bed, shot up with a glare. "Liddell's uncle will soon find out what has happened here! You must be ignorant of his abilities to be so foolish as to act against us like this!"
I raised my brows in wonders, watching her sudden drama. Was she not meant to be weak or ill? Was this a normal behavior for someone who's considered ill? Where did she gain the strength to scream?
It seems they simply want to toy with Philly! These two venomous snakes!
"Is anyone there? I need help!" she screamed, struggling to free her hands tied to the bedstand. "Help! Someone should get me out of here, someone should get me away from this woman!" She kept shouting to no one in particular.
"You're not sick, yet you demand an eight-year-old child to be your blood bank! Any reason behind that selfish act?" I tried to maintain my composure, refusing to believe that someone could be so cruel to a child.
"He's just a slave! If it weren't for Liddell saving him, he would have died! And before he dies, why not make him our little plaything to bring us joy? He should feel honored, shouldn't he?" Sofia's eyes filled with disgust as she mentioned Philly.
Little did she know that Philly is my brother, the brother of the most powerful Goddess of War. And she is nothing more than Liddell's mistress, a submissive Alpha's mistress, kneeling before me, begging for her life.
And Shana bared her fangs in my mind! Even though I had been treated as a slave by Liddell, I had never thought of killing them because I was grateful that two years ago they saved me from the rogues.
I could teach them a lesson, but I wouldn't take their lives until they treated Philly like a toy!
Without hesitation, I extended my claws and gripped Sofia's throat, squeezing it until blood oozed out. I watched as her eyes transformed from malice to terror!
"Liddell! Save me! I don't want to die!" Sofia desperately pleaded for help from Liddell, who was lying beside her. But Liddell himself was struggling to survive. I mocked her futile attempt.
Liddell glared at me angrily. I knew he wanted to kill me, but he couldn't.
Sofia realized this.
"That was... powerful!" Sofia immediately changed her attitude toward me seeing her only hope, Liddell, unable to get up from the bed. "Doris... You were calm all through... you didn't panic... how is that... you really... what did I just..." She stuttered as words failed her. "You are really the legendary Goddess of War!"
I curved my lips as a smile escaped. "I have done more and you have seen more. I told you it won't be long." I repeated her words from earlier.
"Please forgive me Doris, I'm sorry for all that has happened. It's not really all my fault." She begged, which left Liddell surprised.
"It was Liddell's idea!" Sofia sat up quickly from the bed she was placed and turned to look at Liddell. "He planned all this not me. It had been his intention all along to have your brother, Philly, under his control and command since he thought he already had you." Liddell looked at her in shock, drained out of his remaining strength as she spilled out words of betrayal.
"I never really had it in mind to hurt Philly. I never wanted to hurt him, it was all Liddell's decision to do so." Sofia refused to back down with the sudden confession and betrayal. "I was quite disgusted with what he did and I still am."
I turned to look at Liddell whose expression was heavily dampened and was struggling to find words out of his mouth. I averted my gaze to Sofia who looked like she still had something to say.
"I hope you can punish him well as much as you like Doris, but please I'm innocent let me go." She cried out. I could sense the deceit in her tone, like she was up to something else.
"S-Sophia..." Liddell struggled to speak with a cracked tone feeling shocked and betrayed. "How...why would...you could betray me this way?" He widened his eyes staring intently at Sofia who had looked away. "How could you Sofia? After all my love? Is this how you intend paying me back for everything?"
Sofia showed her true colors, it was who she had been hiding away from him for a long time. I had noticed, but Liddell was too blind in love. "This is who you fell in love with Liddell." I laughed out loud holding my stomach.
He turned to look at me, then I continued. "This is who she is. You fell in love with a bitch who knows nothing but lies, a lying bitch Liddell." His face crumpled up as he turned his gaze back to Sofia.
"Is that really you Sofia? What else are you lying about? Is this how I get paid for my love and care towards you? Are you going to prove her wrong or not?" Liddell's face summed up with doubt.
The look on Sofia's face was one with a double mind, a look with a hidden intention. "Yes! I'm a bitch! Okay? But that does not change the fact that I'm innocent in this and does not deserve to be punished with you for your own selfish deeds..." She paused for a moment and continued. "I just want Doris to let me go." I knew she lied, I knew she had other intentions.
"I'll let you go."
"You will?" Sofia exclaimed in excitement.
"But not so fast." I smirked as she suddenly frowned. "You may be innocent in this or whatever, I don't care. But we still have our old scores to settle and I'm sure you are fully aware." I grinned hard seeing how her face quickly dampened looking defeated.
I searched her eyes, knowing she was looking for what to save herself from her current position. I laughed widely, wondering what she could be thinking, probably her next lie. "No more words to save yourself Sofia?"
Suddenly, the door of the ward was forcefully pushed open! It was Liddell's uncle, Gilbert. He was also of the Blood Wolf rank, but he was the most powerful werewolf of this rank!
Only the top 20% of Alphas possess his power. Among the surrounding packs, no one could defeat Gilbert! But that didn't include me!
"Help me! I'm in here!" Sofia immediately pleaded for help from Gilbert.
(Doris' POV)"Let them be!" Gilbert stood facing me with a scowl on his face. "Let Liddell and Sofia go or you wouldn't like what will happen here.""And what will happen if I don't? Because clearly I won't," I sneered at him.Clearly, I could sense his intention of killing me. His fists transformed into fangs. As I looked at Liddell, who was filled with hope, a new idea sparked within me.My gaze returned to Gilbert's face. "If I may ask..." I raised an eyebrow and stared at him, "do you want to be the Alpha?" Gilbert's abilities far surpassed Liddell's, but he had never become an Alpha himself. There had to be a significant reason behind it!His face darkened immediately. I glanced at Liddell on the bed and back to him who was also looking at Liddell. He had also seen what I noticed. Liddell's expression had changed.Liddell had heard me clearly and now looked at Gilbert with distrust in his eyes.Gilbert suddenly grew even angrier, swiftly extending his claws towards me, but I dodg
(Gilbert' POV)The Wolf Pack Elders CouncilDefinitely them, I thought. The Wolf Pack Elders Council will be able to solve this. Doris is now a member of the Red Moon Wolf Pack. She has to obey the rules of the Wolf Pack and cannot kill any member of the pack.If she tries it, she will definitely be punished by the Elders council. They are the head of and above all Wolf Packs so they need to obey, Doris is definitely not an exception since she is a member of the Wolf Pack.The Elder council is also known for their responsibility in the inheritance ceremony of an Alpha and a Luna in a wolf pack. They can even sometimes have a say in the dismissal of a wolf pack Alpha.The Elder Council follows the instructions of the Moon Goddess given them. They predict troubles too. The Elder Council predicts a crisis in a wolf pack and goes to where the wolf pack may be to assist the Alpha stuck in such a crisis.There is a wolf pack here and there's a crisis. Liddell is down, so am I and the other
(Doris' POV)"It's you! Doris Albert." Mawson called out in recognition and excitement all over his face. "I knew you looked familiar. This is really you Doris, the Goddess of War!" He exclaimed.I stood gazing at him with a smile on my face as I watched him. He looked happy and excited to see me. "I thought you wouldn't recognize your benefactor.""I searched and searched everywhere I could think of for traces you during the year you disappeared. I wanted to see the Goddess of War again but it was hard for me since you were always masked." He spoke like one who had longed for this day. "No one knew what you looked like under the mask which also made it difficult for you to be found."Mawson couldn't hide his joy as they were written all over his. "I led people to the Red Moon Wolf Pack when I got some information, but that was the last I had about you. I had to rush down here immediately when I heard there was a riot in the hospital."He couldn't stop getting words out of his mouth a
(Doris' POV)Gilbert panicked and stood up slowly like there was nothing to hide any longer. "We killed him."He looked around the ward and saw the eyes that were fixed at him. He bowed his head as he began to confess. "I betrayed my brother, the then Alpha, when I began my affair with his wife Mara. He had found out about our affair but we were scared that he'd expose us, so we plotted with him. We killed him later on but covered it up and made it look like he died of a sudden illness."He paused and looked around again before he continued. "After I helped Liddell to become the Alpha, Mara and I continued to enjoy our affair. I silenced everyone who knew about it for various reasons. But now that you have discovered the truth, I really don't know how to deal with it."My lips curved into an evil smile after I had succeeded in confirming the truth. "You have only but one choice Gilbert.""What could that be, Doris?" He asked in confusion."You would disclose to the wolf pack about you
(Doris' POV)I left the Red Moon Wolf Pack after the meeting and was on my way back to the stronghold. I stopped immediately as I felt connected and linked to someone.I closed my eyes to concentrate and received a mind-link from Erbort. He informed me that they had found the treasure, the goddess's scepter.The goddess's scepter was a treasure. It had been rumored that a werewolf recognized by the scepter will receive a powerful increase in strength and will become the king of all werewolves.There was a rumor spread last year by someone that Doris, the Goddess of War, which was me, was looking for the scepter. That was true! Ever since I made an agreement with the Moon Goddess, my powers have been weakened. In order to surpass the current power ranks, I had to rely on the scepter!But it wasn't just for myself. As the Moon Goddess informed me, I had a greater task at hand. I had to ensure that werewolves from all packs reached a peace agreement, or else they would perish due to infi
(Alpha Jason's POV)"Is this where you are meant to be?" It seemed like my pack members do not know what this means for them to be wandering around in confusion even after my orders. I had ordered them to prepare to meet an important guest.I felt honored to be hosting the agent of the Goddess of War who was also the Alpha heir to one the most respected and important wolf pack, the Flame Wolf Pack. This would be of many important benefits to me."Quick! Prepare the table!" I ordered some of the pack members in charge of the kitchen."You!" I pointed at a member."Yes Sir Jason." He replied with a bow."Hurry! Bring out our best table clothes we have in this pack house. Only the best deserve the best." I was hosting the agent of the Goddess of War, so he deserves the best. Who knows what he has for me?"Yes Alpha." He sprang out immediately."You over there!" I turned towards a member who stood doing nothing. "Do you even have any idea of who will be visiting?" I asked sarcastically. H
(Alpha Jason's POV)"Impossible!" Luna Melanie screamed out in disgust."This is not possible! You bitch! You are supposed to be dead." She scowled in disgust."How could a person who should have died in the Darkmoon Forest a few years ago suddenly appear here? Not to talk of one who was alone all along." Melanie kept asking as she looked over at Doris in total confusion and wonder."Is this really you Doris?" I asked the silent Doris who still stood where she was. I moved closer to her to touch her in order to confirm that my eyes were not deceiving me.Doris stared blankly with no emotion or feeling seen in her face and eyes as I touched her. Some other members who had been staring in shock and disbelief also came to touch her clearing up their doubts.She was indeed the one and also fully alive. I couldn't hide my sudden change of expression as she was definitely not the one I had prepared this banquet for. She was neither the Goddess of War nor the future Alpha of the Flame Wolf P
(Doris' POV)I looked at the werewolf warriors around who had hastened their steps, ready to attack me.I dodged and nimbly avoided their angry attacks. Their numbers did not stop me from hitting back and soon enough, they were all on the ground. Defeating them came too easily for me.When the surroundings became calm once again, I looked around to see the looks of shock and wonder plastered on their faces. Every one of them was staring in disbelief."How could you be so... strong!" One of them muttered loud enough for me to hear. "This is unbelievable! How did you possess all this strength and power in you?" They kept asking in disbelief."Since when did you become this strong and powerful Doris?" Alpha Jason was also in disbelief. He stared at me like he had just seen an impossible person. "How much have you grown all these years?"I knotted my brows in amusement as I watched him speak. He couldn't believe what he had just seen."If you could survive all alone in the Darkmoon Forest
