Flashback continuesHe died on his way back to his pack and upon hearing of his death, we took the document he had signed and presented it before his pack members claiming their Alpha had signed that. We claimed he had known of his sickness and had come to our pack to seek protection for them. However, that didn't seem to satisfy a few of them. Their Alpha had obviously confided in his Luna and when she heard the news, she had expressed her doubts and raised her objections without fear but we weren't bothered. We had irrefutable evidence on our hands. Together with a few loyalists, she became antagonistic and resisted our taking over of their pack. Together with the elders of Devil Claw Wolfpack, we came together and began a round table discussion. We hadn't expected the stiff opposition the Luna had put up. At first, we decided to send sone rogues to spring an attack on them and make it seem like the death of their Alpha had spread and now, rogues were now trying to take over th

Natalia's P.O.V."Alpha Draco!" I called out and I could see the irritation he had on his face at being called back. Nevertheless,he turned back and stared hard at me, perhaps to intimidate me into silence. "I'm sure you know I don't have to wait hands and feet in order to listen to a thing like you. I've got better jobs waiting for my attention."He said snidely abd raised his eyebrows in a condescending manner. I felt insulted but I had to get what I wanted to say off my chest. I folded my hands besides me and balled them into fists. "I want to know how many years I have to work as your maid in order to free my pack from your pack's oppression."I told him point blank as I raised my eyes to be on par with his in spite of his smoldering gaze. He laughed. Wickedly and without any emotion on his face. "I have to give it to you. Anyways, I have no use for you at the moment. I would think of what to do with you later when I have given time to the more important things."He spoke and

Natalia's PovHe disappeared from my line of sight and it took me about ten minutes to recover from the cold his stare had penetrated in my body.I relaxed visibly and allowed my thoughts to wander. Alpha Draco's rule which had been considered easy compared to his father's and grandfather's was without its own share of misery. One of the after effects of its misery had led me here. About a month ago, all the Alphas under the rule of the dreaded Devil Claw Wolfpack had been invited from their packs to come visit Alpha Draco in his pack house at the capital. My father, obviously an Alpha, didn't have any other option than to leave. The contents of the letter which I found on his table had been alarming but I had assumed that my father had what it took to handle it. The letter had ordered all Alphas to make their sons makeshift Alphas who would rule until they returned from their trip to the capital. The letter ended by stating that that was the first condition to them winning the '

Still flashback ***The next morning, all the Alphas were summoned to the throne room where they were to undertake their next challenge. They had a whole day and night of resting and eating well. My father admitted to the sumptuous and exotic meals they were being served and the great way they were being cared for. After all of the summoned Alphas had arrived, Alpha Draco presented the next challenge. All of the Alphas would fight each other in twos and the winner would fight him. However, there was a catch to it. It would be better for the winner to win because even if he emerged winner from the Alpha's bout and couldn't win him, that amounts to losing. In order to ensure a fair fight, none of his warriors or even his Beta would partake in it. It was going to be strictly an Alpha's affair. There were eight Alphas present and that meant there were going to be four groupsof twos. My father was in the third group and he was paired with Alpha Noel, the Alpha who wanted me for himsel

Natalia’s povFlashbackBeta Heimdall obviously hadn't expected to be challenged. He spun around as he had been backing the people after the insult he passed to my father. The brief expression of surprise followed by shock on his face was satisfying to see. He raised his eyebrows and tried to look around at the people in order to fish out who had spoken. Fear gripped everyone around me as my mother subtly tried to pull me away from where I was defiantly standing with my hands on my hips but I shook her off in anger.I was too angry at that point to think of fear. In fact, the fear I should have felt only made me become bolder. I had two options. Either I pleadingly become meek and retract my words or stand tall and proud for my father. I chose the latter option. I wouldn't back down. It wasn't a part of me. So, becoming more brazen, I opened up my mouth and began to speak. "Huh! Are you surprised? No! You aren't. You just didn't expect someone to stand up to you and speak out aga
