ログインFreya’s POV I was woken early by a messenger from the palace. The Alpha King and the Luna Queen would be coming to witness Caleb’s ascension as the youngest Alpha in known history. Maybe wires had been crossed, and someone had thought they were here for the funeral, but either way, we were already prepared for the Royal Family. I picked out my best dress for the occasion and tidied my hair to look perfect. So long as the Luna Queen was still supportive of me marrying Alxander, there wasn’t too much he could do about it. Even if I despised him now, securing that position was still a good thing for my future.The messenger announced that the Royal Family was about an hour behind and offered their condolences.It was perfect. They felt sorry for a family that had lost their Alpha and had to put a new one on the throne. They would support us if anyone attempted to take power and would offer protection against any traitors. If Alyssa tried to cause a fuss at Caleb’s Ceremony, there would
Vivan’s POV The rumour that the Royal Family were going to visit seemed to be nothing more than that. A rumour. We had prepared and waited for hours, but there was no sign of them. I suspected someone may have started it as a joke, but I would get to the bottom of that sooner rather than later. Besides, this was a time for celebration. Henry was dead, I would be regent of the pack until Caleb came of age, and without his father or wretched sister getting in the way, he was mine to mould and do with as I pleased. Caleb would help me take the kingdom. Freya didn’t even need to marry Alexander anymore for me to get what I wanted; the poison I created showed me that. I still couldn’t believe how easily it had worked on Henry. Even the most potent wolfsbane would have an alpha writhing in agony for at least an hour before eventually killing him. But mine did it in an instant. I would have to be careful when I eventually used it on the Alpha King and Luna Queen, but if it worked even hal
Alyssa's POVKai took Caleb back to bed, and though he protested, wanting to see if this magic blood potion worked, I didn’t want to see the disappointment on his face if it didn’t. He hadn’t seen the purple vines crawling around our father’s body, hadn’t seen the icy lines trying to fight it, and I wasn’t going to traumatise him even more by showing him that. He would know in the morning if it worked.After that, Kai, Alexander, Nolan and I went back to where my father’s body was resting, and my heart hammered fiercely in my chest. If this worked, it would change everything.I couldn’t get used to seeing my father like this, looking like he was asleep but knowing how close he was to death. Kai gently held my shoulders, squeezing them tightly as I took a deep breath.“To let you know, it seems the King and Queen will be visiting the Ice Heart Pack after all.” Nolan said as he quickly whipped out a piece of paper, “His Highness and I sent a message, and they responded. They will be he
Alyssa’s POVIt was almost hard to believe that we were all there together with the key to fixing everything. We were also the new generation of Alpha bloodlines, coming together in a show of unity for the first time in a while. Nolan had created the antidote. Or, at least he’d hoped that he had, considering how quickly he’d studied and tested.“I can’t make any promises, Alyssa. I’m really sorry, but there just wasn’t enough time.”“I understand, Nolan,” I had said as I took his hands in mine, “I can’t tell you how much it means to me that you tried.”Nolan nodded with a small smile and brought me into a quick hug with a reassuring squeeze.Caleb held onto Kai’s hand tightly, still trusting us, but nervous about what was happening. His eyes drifted to our father’s body, and he shuffled himself a little further behind Kai. Kai was sweet with him, giving my younger brother a gentle pat on the head. Alexander stood stiff, prepared for whatever I was going to ask of him.“The ice is fi
Kai’s POV It wasn’t hard to get Caleb. Honestly, I was thinking it would be a lot more difficult, but after counting the warriors and their guard changes, it was a simple effort to sneak past them and climb the wall with the lattice fence to the bedroom that Alyssa had pointed out earlier that day. The light was dim, and I had Carter waiting in the distance in case I needed him. The window wasn’t locked, and for a moment I wondered if there would be some kind of ambush waiting for me. Was Vivian actually this certain that Alyssa had given up hope? Alyssa had put on a believable performance; it almost had me concerned, so perhaps Vivan was getting sloppy with her supposed victory.I easily climbed into his room, trying to make sure I was staying as quiet as possible with the footsteps pacing outside the door.Sneaking to the bed, I crouched down by where Caleb was facing in his sleep and gave him a gentle nudge on his shoulder.The boy groaned, and it took him a few seconds to flick
Alyssa’s POV We found Alexander not long after we had sent Nolan off to try to find an antidote for my father and filled him in on what we had found. He offered his blood immediately, which I appreciated, but firstly, we had to get Caleb… and there was no way Vivian was letting him out of her sight, not whilst he was Alpha now.“So what do we do?” Alexander asked, “It’s unlikely we’ll be able to get him alone.”“During the day,” I agreed, “But at night, when he’s supposed to be in bed, he probably won’t have more than a guard on the door. They wouldn’t think any harm would come to him at night.”“We could control the guard’s spirit, make him fall asleep and grab Caleb,” Kai offered.“No!” I remembered the blinding pain when Alexander used his power on me all those moons ago, the pain that brought Carys to her knees. I didn’t want another person to go through that if we absolutely didn’t have to. But also, if Kai couldn’t get him down and knock him out in a second or two, the guard w
Alyssa’s POVThere was really no point in us getting back to the palace, on our way there, we heard rumours that Alexander had run away and we met him on the road back to my pack.A lot had happened, he told us, but it was hard to forgive him after everything. It was hard for Kai to even look at hi
Vivian’s POVIf one more thing went wrong today, I was personally going to see to it that the Moon Goddess paid. Maybe it was unlucky to curse the Moon Goddess, but I was beyond caring at this point. Respecting her had only caused so many problems, so I didn’t see an issue in not minding her at tha
Henry’S POVIt didn’t take us long to return to the Pack. Word hadn’t reached the rest of them that the wedding between Alexander and Freya hadn’t gone to plan, so there were celebrations as we returned, flowers and rice being thrown onto the carriage, and everyone bowing and smiling as we passed.
Vivian’s POVIt was going perfectly, but the little shit had to fuck everything up! My daughter was looking beautiful, looking every bit the princess that she was, and we were one step closer to reaching our goal.All it would’ve taken were two little words, ‘I swear’, and everything would’ve gone
