All Chapters of Gifted With Two Wolves: Fated To Two Rival Kingdoms : Chapter 181 - Chapter 190

MIRA'S POVToday was the happiest I'd ever felt in a long time. Not only did I finally expose Odessa for who she truly was, but I also just found out that the Lycan King, one of the most powerful men in the world, was my father. Hell yeah. It finally made sense. I never understood how a mid wolf like Raymond managed to father a powerful wolf like me. And that bitch Kira too. Raymond wasn't even a real alpha. He was the second son of an Alpha. So I always attributed my dominant nature to Odessa's genes. Now, I knew where they truly came from.The silence continued for a while longer, before Raymond finally spoke. "What did you just say?" I could hear the agony in his voice, but at that moment, I didn't care.Odessa stared at him, their eyes meeting for a long moment. The expression on her face was slightly apologetic at best. No remorse. No guilt. "You heard me," she told him. "We have no children together. Mira and Kira are not yours." Once, I would have felt irritated at havi

ODESSA'S POV I'd half expected Raymond to be in our bedroom, waiting for me to come back, but he wasn't. Which was just as well, since I didn't have the energy to face him. My lips still tingled from Jon's kiss, and it remained in the forefront of my mind until the next morning. As I dressed for the day, I could almost feel the pack buzzing with nervous energy, but it was probably just me. The night before, I'd somehow thought my problems would seem a bit smaller with a clearer head, but I was wrong. The only clarity daylight brought was showing me that the problem might even be bigger than I thought. But first things first. I had to find Kira. We needed to have a conversation, and I knew she wouldn't approach me. She wasn't confrontational like Mira, that much I knew. I heard the whispers immediately I left my quarters. I saw the furtive glances too. I was heading down to the room Kira shared with Dante when someone bumped into me. Reika. Her expression was unreadable as she s

KIRA'S POVDante finished his breakfast quickly and left, giving me a kiss on the forehead as he did so. "See you later, love."I pouted up at him, and spoke through our mindlink. "Do you have to go?" "You'll have to have a conversation with both of them sooner or later," he said gently. "Stop trying to put it off.""But it's going to be weird and awkward," I whined. Dante chuckled. "I'm counting on it. Tell me all about it later." The room was silent for a long moment after that, before King Jon finally spoke. I really had to stop calling him King Jon, but I was at a loss as to what to call him. If I called him "Dad", would it be too forward of me? If he hadn't been my real father, but just my father-in-law, what would I have called him? "I know you two must have a lot of questions," he started. "Trust me, I do too. We've missed out on decades of getting to know each other. But hopefully, we can work towards fixing that now." Mira and I exchanged a look. "Isn't Mother dearest

JON'S POVThe next council hearing was the next morning. As expected, Odessa tried to keep it from me, but I found out anyway. Stubborn woman. Even after I told her I wouldn't just sit back and let her be prosecuted for trying to keep our children safe, she still wouldn't let me. I paid off a few of her servants to keep me updated, and while I'd normally be horrified that it was so easy to buy off people who were supposed to be loyal to her, it worked in my favour this time, so I was willing to let it slide. For now. Kira and I walked to the hall, and I saw surprise flash across Odessa's face the moment she saw us. The members of the council also gave us odd — and some outraged — looks, but Kira and I ignored them. Mira had adamantly refused to come with us. The nature of her relationship with her mother worried me, but this wasn't the time for me to express that worry. The only thing I could do was try to save Odessa from the barbaric old crones she called the members of her Cou

KIRA'S POV "You filthy animal! How dare you!" Ravenna's voice was guttural and deep. No longer eerily playful. She was furious. In the distance, thunder rumbled, and the clouds around the castle grew heavy. Whatever she was, she wasn't completely human. Forcing her from Mira's body had only enraged her. I stood, facing her. Dante and Asher did the same, coming up behind me. Mira still lay on the ground, her eyes closed and her breathing shallow. "I told you to leave Mira alone," I said in a calm but deadly voice. "You didn't listen. I did what I had to." When Ravenna spoke, the shadows that made up her form roiled and frothed. She could barely hold herself in a human shape for too long, except for her face which was twisted in a mask of hatred and anger."I'd planned to make your death as quick as possible," she snarled. "But now, I'm going to make you suffer. I'm going to make you beg for death!" A sharp clap of thunder struck again, and at that moment, the ground beneath our
