"Are you insane?" "The soul of a true Lycan?" "That’s impossible; I told you not to work with her from the beginning, Alpha Derrick," Normani mussed. "You owe me now! And you just have to do it!" I responded. I could see the disappointment written all over Derrick’s face. He has to kill one of his own race or give them up for me, the same wolf he’s been fighting with his brother to take over their welfare from him."Is there no other option, and why do you need the soul of a Lycan?" "There's no other option; I need to go home now that it's getting late; you have until tomorrow," I responded, and I left for the Sun Valley Pack. The whole place was gloomy with sadness and depression. "What is it?" I asked around. My mother had lost one of her vibrant warriors. "How did he die?" I asked curiously. "He was drunk, and they ambushed him. I think they monitored him, and they took his wolf."That was so soon. I wasn't expecting Derrick and Normani to get it done so soon. "Congratulatio

ALPHA HERVEAUX’S POV.Getting dressed was more interesting than usual because it was an outing with Auriel. I could tell things might get awkward because of our little fun moment in the bath. I think I should cut my hair. It’s getting too long, almost crossing my shoulders. A new look wouldn’t be so bad for me. "Ask Auriel," Tristan responded. "Fine, I might if I deem it appropriate to ask her." Beta Fernando was to accompany us, but for some reason I wanted him to stay home and just take care of the mansion till I returned. My children will be returning home after school, and they’ll likely not meet me. The art exhibition is on the fringes of our territory. I took my cellphone and thought of calling someone. The letter I received had her blueprints on it. "Don’t just let her be; she’s nothing but trouble." Tristan deferred again. I was in a good mood, and I agreed. We got doused in a navy blue tuxedo with a silver touch to the neck piece and a matching hand chain. I r

ALPHA HERVEAUX.I felt really nervous going up on stage to unveil the anchor. No one knew because I had a bold frown covering up everything inside. "You already know who it is," Tristan whispered. Daciana beamed with a full grin as I opened it. I wasn't surprised that my guess was right. She hugged me and pecked me. Our eyes met a few times. Auriel and Alpha Draglun had left just after I returned. I hated it and it annoyed me but i guess i caused it. I must have annoyed her by unveiling Daciana, because her countenance changed just after that. The bid was about to start, and I was looking for her. I bumped into Daciana at the ladies. It wasn't far from the dressing room. I thought I would find Aureil there. Daciana was getting changed for the next event. "Are you looking for me?" she asked softly. I tried everything to avoid that. No, I'm just going somewhere," I replied firmly. "You can't lie to me, remember?" She held my hands. "Get out, everyone!" she commanded. It just rem

ALPHA HERVEAUX’S POV.“You didn’t even look for me. I went through hell, Alpha Herveaux”“And you’re back?” I asked vilely. She was startled. “What did she do to you? Is this really you?” she asked puzzled by my actions. “What’s the important thing you wanted to tell me?” “I get it, that’s the only reason you agreed to see me.” “Do you know how she got that bid? She’s quite interesting, you know!” “Don’t test my patience!” I hurled at her. “I get it,I want to personally invite you to an event. You don’t want to turn my mother down.” “What sort of event? She would have told me herself!” “I know, there’s no crime in telling you in person, it's in two days time”. She leaned towards me to kiss me. I made no advances and she left. Watching Auriel sleep soundly after that rough night was everything. I kept watch overnight just because of Tristan. He slept with her last night.Not even a strand of her hair would get hurt when he’s there. Nothing scares me more than him falling f

ALPHA HERVEAUX’S POV. I decided not to give myself to fear of any sort. Great Alune warned about the Vargulfs invasion, and I couldn’t be more careful. All she saw was doom. All I have now is a new plan to deploy all my subjects. Whoever finds the Vargulf’s hideout will be rewarded. I called a meeting with the elders. I did not need their opinions, but I just wanted to make sure the information would get to them first. Auriel came to join us in the lobby. She asked if i was done talking with great Alune and i responded. She excused her, and they both left. "Think it's about us?" I asked Tristan. He had been mad at me since last night. He wanted Auriel with me. "You’re the one in love with her, Tristan, not me!" I responded mockingly. "There is an update, beloved Alpha," Beta Fernando called me. We walked out of the lobby together. I overheard Auriel confront a maid. "Finally, she’s acting like a luna," I mussed and resumed walking. "So who’s this from?" I asked Beta Ferna
