ALPHA XAVIER POV The trip to Rosevale was important, I needed to make an economic and a military alliance. Rosevale is a mysterious country, although they are small in land mass, they have the highest number of cities that a single country could possibly have. They are hospitable and open to all, their towns quickly metamorphosed into a city at a faster rate. I had come to understand that having a large population meant that you become the darling of all nations. People usually want to get into trade deals with you, while Wolfshade and Lunaria could boast of having powerful military and being self-sufficient. Rosevale prides themselves of being the richest. "We can not deny the fact that Wolfshade and Lunaria are powerful nations, but we are also unique in our own way." Alpha Hector, the leader of Rosevale said."Yes, I understand that you don't need us. But times are changing, perhaps, we could come to some sort of arrangement and strike a deal if it favors both parties." I said s

ALPHA XAVIER POV The trip from Azurevale and Mistwood was quite eventful, especially with Shira sharing some of her cultures, traditions and customs that would be described as interesting. I didn't know such cultures existed and felt many people south of this part would consider their tradition too lewd.My girls led by Marita, Dyelin and a few other officials gathered at the entrance of the castle of serenity to welcome me when we arrived at Wolfshade, amidst sounds of joy and happiness. Some grains had arrived at Wolfshade already before me. I had struck some other deals with a few other kingdoms before proceeding to Rosevale. So I was not surprised by the level of welcome that greeted us. I did a quick scan of everyone gathered and found out Isabel is not there."Wolfshade welcomes you back, Alpha Xavier. The peace has been kept and fruits of the success of your travels had arrived long before you got here!" Dyelin intoned in a loud voice. She's usually in charge when Valerian an

ISABEL POVI sneaked out of Wolfshade and took a route that would not lead me straight to Thornridge. This was a sacrifice I had to make to avoid bloodshed between the two most important male in my life. It was easy for me to sneak out and avoid being caught. I had taken time to figure out where all the border guards were and tried to avoid Luc and Samon as much as possible. "This is going to be very difficult, remember what happened the last time you tried to leave Wolfshade." Livia had reminded, since her boarding house was at the outskirt of the city."I know Livia, but this is something I have to do. I have to try at least, even if I get caught in the process. It's better than just sitting down and doing nothing." I said pleadingly. "You just have to be careful, now that things are going so well with Alpha Xavier, I'd hate to see you spoil all of that." Livia cautioned again."I know, I'll be careful." She hugged me and I left, in the middle of the night on foot. I had decided t

ALPHA XAVIER POVBinding her and leaving her powerless gave me a new feeling. I felt the urge to take her there and then but how could I do that? I was surprised that my wolf was not as surprised as I would have expected. If anything, I missed her and had been looking forward to seeing her and bedding her especially since leaving Rosevale.These are serious issues, what if she's a spy? I tried to flash back to the moment when I first made a demand for her, did her father really refuse or was it all an act? Has she been feeding her father information about Wolfshade? I had questions, lots of them that needed answers yesterday.It is no secret that every kingdom has spies in every other kingdom, so who are Thornridgen spies here in Wolfshade? It was common practice to pretend not to know the spies of other other kingdoms in your country, so long as they don't undermine you. But is that a chance I want to take?I stopped listening to her at some point and just pretended that I was but th

ISABEL POV Alpha Xavier looked like a child who had just been told he had lost his father. Valerian didn't say much and left, but Xavier looked on like he was looking at something, so fixated that I had to glance at the direction of his sight to see if he was seeing something that I couldn't see.I sat down with him on the bed and held his hand but we remained there. I couldn't tell what was going on through his mind but I didn't want to find out either. I suspected he'd snap at me and transfer the aggression to me. I may not have known who this Alpha Emrys was, but he was obviously very important to Xavier and my father had killed him. How was I to justify that? There was no justification for his actions. From what I understood from the reports, my father, Alpha Dario had gone to Lunaria to seek help to take down Alpha Xavier, and was successful in forming an alliance against Wolfshade that was insured by Lunaria who had a non alignment policy. He then decided to bed the wife of h
