Matilda's POVAfter my parents left with my great grandmother, Gertrude, I've been sort of lonely. I routinely went to the market every third day of the week. It was mainly to receive some sort of contact with the outside world. Without Olly and Marlo here to keep me company it has just been me and Quinn after Jonah begged to depart to Valaris too. Quinn easily made friends so I did not see much of her.Making friends was always difficult for me until Tavi and me became friends. I was usually shy and reserved with a bubbly personality a the same time. I think other wolves were just unsure of what they would be getting with me. I usually attract the wrong crowd. Speaking of wrong crowd, Karly, Daisy, and their three male followers, Amos, Archie, and William were quickly approaching me. They were so annoying!"Hey ya'll! Look, it the rejected!" Daisy joked at my expense. "You have to be pathetic to be rejected by your mate," Karly chimed in making them all laugh with the exception of A

Queen Antionette's POV"It's been an entire week with no leads. This is awful," I said to my mother. "Calm yourself child and focus on what's in front of you. This could be the perfect distraction! While Vincent is distracted with his missing pup, take everything from under him," my mother urged. "That's insensitive even for me," I glared at her. "Do you think that vile wolf would waste a second mourning for your lost child?" she asked.I fell quiet contemplating all the moves I've already made. She was right. Beta Vincent would be rid of me in my time of mounting if it were so."The night we found out about Ruby, I had Ruby's mother followed when she kept disappearing. I found her arguing with Phillip who seemed to have no idea of the paternity of the pup. Now, he's destroyed or pissed off. One of the two. How did her mother know? Maybe Ruby told her," my mother shrugged. "Wow," I replied. "Why do I get the feeling you're hiding something from me?" she asked cocking an eyebrow. "I su

Octavia's POVAfter another aggressive training session with Koda's warriors, I was exhausted. Fighting helped my mind free itself of my crumbling family and nonexistent love life. I promised to avenge them all and my plan to do that came faster than I thought it would."Hello, mate," Lex from the Kingdom of Tirado said interrupting my high. "Alpha," I bowed ignoring his comment. "Aww, you wound me. Aren't you at least a little happy to see me?" he chuckled coming closer to me. "Alpha Lexington, every time you come to visit me here have I ever shown interest? Let's not fool ourselves," I said walking in the opposite direction. "Well, my future mistress, Taysia thinks I should give up on whatever this dance we are doing is," he smirked. "I cannot believe I am saying this but I agree with the bimbo," I replied. "Why do you wish to defy and deny me?" he angrily growled pinning me down on the side of the castle. "Because you are a monster! I will not give you an heir nor will I lay with y

Ruby's POVI felt empty inside. Time and life moved fast without me in it. Vincent did everything in his power to make me comfortable but it would never be enough. It's been a whole month since Elena and her mate stole our pup. I'm still in a bit of shock."How are you feeling today?" Vincent asked kissing my forehead. "I'm ready to assume my duties again. When I'm sitting around I only feel ridiculously helpless," I confessed. "You could never be that," he assured me. "Does the kingdom know what happened?" I asked. "They've sent many gifts of prayers for our pup's return. Elena and her mate's faces are plastered on nearly every tree in all of the kingdoms," he replied. "Thank you," I sighed falling into his chest. "What's kept you so busy?" I asked. "The planning for the coronation is causing such a ruckus. The guest list itself is too massive. We need better security protocols," he grumbled. "What did Alpha King Lincoln do? Take something from his bag of tricks," I replied making hi

Oliver's POVAlpha Alonzo thought it would be a good idea to place spies around those listed on Alpha King Lincoln's list before he disappeared. So, we've kept busy doing our rounds. The Kingdom of Klaus was off-limits to me but being the rebel I am, I traveled great distances to get there anyway. Something continued pulling me back here. It's like I was missing a clue to where my mother and birth father could be. I was nearly seen last time so I've kept a great distance away to be on the safe side. Now, I traveled to Santak more often."The Kingdom of Santak is starting to look disgracefully terrible," Marlo said from the side of me. "Yeah, I cannot believe how beautiful it used to be before they started these stupid Galatea Games here," Tilly added. "We will hit the Kingdom of Cassius before returning to Valaris. Make sure you two are keeping your notes of the suspicious activities organized," I interjected ignoring their comments. "Yes, Alpha," Tilly joked. "I wish we could go back
