Kenneth's POVThey were coming. Today. It was today they were coming and I was so excited. The men had sent other letters and had attached the date of their arrival to it.I was elated that they had all decided to do that. They must have known what a worrying mess I was even without anyone telling them. Good. I smiled, reminding myself why they were worthy of being my soldiers.I checked the calendar again for the umpteenth time, confirming to myself that it was truly today that they were here. They had told me that they had resolved their issues and would be around today. Though they hadn't used the birds that I had sent and theirs that they had groomed and I didn't recognize, I couldn't fail to recognize the handwriting and style of writing of my soldiers. I hadn't painstakingly trained them for years to not know information as little as that about them.I checked the sun, hating that it was soon going down and no longer as bright as it had been hours ago. I sighed, feeling worried

Kenneth's POVI stood before the men, looking at them with pride swelling my head. I had already won the battle. I smiled as I looked at the seven hundred men with me, decked in their uniforms and looking as fierce as I felt.I didn't see any way that the men who were not up to twenty could escape alive after the battle.They had already eaten and freshened up and now we were about to have our first meeting. I was glad that they were all here when I had thought that I wouldn't get to see them."What took you so long?" I asked, trying not to groan and show them how much affected I was by their tardiness."We had to wait for the others so we could all come together." Vian, the leader of group five answered.I didn't even know that they had also communicated with one another. It was nice that they had unity and had still kept on to it even though they were apart on duty.I scanned the troops standing before me and scowled when I noticed the absence of group three and group seven. Those w

Kevin's POVI felt restless and nervous at the same time. I had never been so on edge all my life. Ever since the men had seen the unknown spy running away from the building, I hadn't been myself as I knew it was only going to take a little while before the war begins.I wasn't scared of wars but I hated a surprise attack which was what Kenneth was planning. That much was obvious that that was what he would do based on who he was and what I knew of him. I wanted them here already before my heart gives out on me even before the fight begins. I had been told repeatedly by my men to not fret but I didn't know it wasn't that hard to not worry.I was anxious enough to make the word jealous. At this rate, if the war didn't start soon, I had no doubt that my middle name was going to be anxiety.I let out a sigh not knowing how many it was that I had released today."That would be the seventh sigh in two minutes." Liam said as he sat beside me.I glanced at him and a small smile coated my lip

Kenneth's POVI walked, growling like a caged animal with my fist in my other palm. I had never been so humiliated in my life. I couldn't believe that Kevin had dared to play a trick on me."Coward." I spat out, the word tasting bitter in my mouth.He should have fought like a real wolf. He shouldn't have devised other methods to win like a mortal. If he had fought like the alpha that he was, I would have won the fight by now."I told you to not send them."I turned as I watched my general walk in, brimming with anger. I remembered Kevin's last words as I was forced to run like a coward that I wasn't and hissed, feeling my anger rise up as well to the surface to match his. He had told me I should have listened to my general and now I hated that my general was here to gloat about that and rub it in my face."Are you here to lament about what has passed instead of focusing on how we can defeat them the next time?" I hissed at him.He snorted at me, catching me by surprise. He had never

Kenneth's POVFuck.That was the only word ringing in my head at the moment. Let me rephrase what I said. It wasn't just this moment. It had been ringing in my head for the past thirty minutes.Why did I start echoing the word in my head for the past thirty minutes? That was when I was captured.Captured. The word still sounded strange to me. I didn't believe that had happened. I couldn't believe that had happened. I felt embarrassed.I couldn't believe Kevin had dared played a manipulating game on me. I had entered deep into their land before I turned back and realized that more than half of the soldiers I had gone there with didn't run with me to fight because of the general's absence. Kevin had raised suspicion in their minds about his whereabouts and had forced them to realize that I had killed him since he wasn't at the battlefield.I sighed again, not counting how many times I have done that even in the last ten minutes. If I had known, I wouldn't have killed the general so easi
