LOGINVivian’s POV My heart was racing as I held the silver crown in my hand. I was almost trembling from joy, fighting hard to keep the victorious smile from my face and keep it replaced with a nurturing, proud, motherly smile. With Caleb being the figurehead for the Alpha of the Pack and me controlling him from behind the scenes, I was one step closer to having more power than I had before. To go from a useless daughter of an Alpha, to a minor Luna, to a Luna of a major pack, and now regent of one, I had worked hard to claw my way up to the top, and I wasn’t going to stop there. The Royal Family truly being here only made everything better, as the Pack could see they supported this exchange of power. But of course they would, the Luna Queen and I had an understanding, a partnership, if one could call it that. The Luna Queen now had the support of the majority of the packs for Alexander to become the next Alpha King, especially since the Feather Wing Pack’s power had been dwindling over
Alyssa's POV I was grateful for the distraction of the Royal Family coming to visit because it allowed us to follow Vivian and Freya more discreetly. Though we had to still stay in the back, the multitude of pack members gathering around to see the golden royals let us blend in. Every so often, I would get glimpses of Caleb, who was doing great for a five-year-old. He managed to keep up smiles the majority of the time, but every so often, from a distance, I saw the smile dip as he would search the crowd for me.Only the night before, we had told him that our father might be okay and that we would let him know. He was still waiting for that confirmation, that hope that his daddy was alive and he wouldn’t have to be an Alpha just yet.We had decided not to tell him right away. I loved my younger brother, but he was still a young child, and children found it hard to lie, fake or pretend when things were serious. If we had told him, it might’ve ruined the only advantage we had. Part of
Alyssa's POVThe ceremony had started. Kai and I made sure we were out of sight until the moment that we needed to strike. Alexander was to greet the people of my pack to throw off any suspicions Freya or Vivan might have, and maids, warriors and his mother surrounded Caleb. There was no way to get to him to tell him that Father was alive. Father knew to stay hidden, too. We were able to block his scent with a mixture of herbs and perfumes so no one would suspect anything strange. It was going according to plan.Freya and Vivan continued to greet the Alpha families once again, as they had stayed after the funeral for the Alpha Ceremony. Nolan played his part perfectly, acting none the wiser to Vivian’s grand plot as he shook her hand and offered a bow to Caleb as the new Alpha of the Ice Heart Pack.It was a bittersweet day for the pack, officially leaving the previous Alpha behind and welcoming the new one. The Royal Family finally arrived in their carriage with golden banners and
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
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
Alexander’s POV Today was the day. The day I was selling my soul and sacrificing the last little bit of control I might’ve had in my life. Did I ever really have a choice?Some would say yes, some would say no. But what did I think? I tried to make decisions, and it brought me to this point in my
