Nick's POV
I was at the field training a set of the newly recruited members of the pack defends guard when Richard walked in with his friends, or should I say gang.
The once lively field suddenly became very quiet as soon as he walked in. Don't get it wrong, people are not scared of him, but they are terrified of his mother. His mum once had a soldier beheaded for daring to scold him as a child.
Everyone around here seems to be scared of him because of the Luna position that his mother occupies, well everyone except me.
"So I heard you were not able to capture a female rogue yesterday?"
Richard snorted out, while his cohorts starts giggling in a failed rehearsed routine. His voice made me pause in what I was doing to take a good look at him.Apart from the fact that he is almost two feet shorter than me, he also looks like he is going to drop dead from his skinny structure any second soon. If he invested his pride and arrogance In his diet, I'm sure he will be way healthier and stronger.
The moon goddess must be weeping on her mighty throne knowing the fact that this unfortunate fella is going to be ruling us all when the time comes.
"You know, most alpha in waiting usually lead such chase, and become the hero of their story," I said moving closer to him, daring him to utter one more word out of place so I can reconstruct his already deformed-looking nose.
"you should put these muscles of yours to work. At least, that's why you are allowed to stay with us at the packhouse bastard" He said, cowardly retracting his steps further away from me, along with his unless set of a lazy bunch of dumb friends.
I snared at him.
Just then, one of the team members on guard, sent a message through the mind link, for our team to come to take over the next shift. I rounded up with what I was doing and I quickly went to the packhouse to get a light refreshment.
I have been in the field all-day training. I usually use the training to keep myself away from staying at the Packhouse.
The Packhouse was empty when I got there. I wondered where all the servants and guards went to, so I went to the kitchen to get something to eat. I opened the fridge to check out what was in but finally decided to make do with the orange juice and crackers I found inside.
As I was about to sit down to eat, I thought I heard footsteps. I stood up to go check up on who it was. I saw it was my father's mistress, she looked startled to see me and quickly hid the handmade doll that had little pins all over it.
What she is doing with a doll? Is she missing her childhood or something? I wondered.
"What are you doing here?" she asked not able to hide the fact that she was stunned to see me at home at that time.
"I came for my lunch," I said looking around to see if there is any other person with her. But she appears to be all alone. Now that's odd, where are her entourage of guards and servants, and why the hell is the palace so quiet?
"that's all you are ever good at, eating and lazing around. Your father wants to see you" she said as she walks towards the stairs. I went back into the kitchen to take a quick bite of my meal wondering why my father would want to possibly see me now. It's been over six months since have last saw him. He has been sick for the past couple of months and I have not been allowed any access to see him.
I went upstairs to see that he is laying down on his bed, looking emaciated from the last time I saw him. He looked very pale and weak. Beside his bedside is seated his mistress using her eyes to size me up like some piece of trash.
The next person seated by his side is Peter, my father's long-time friend. They both grew up together and many had thought that he would be my father's Beta. It was a shocker to see that my father bypassed him for someone else, but they remained good friends nevertheless. I see his nose flinch up as soon as I step into the room.
"I heard you have become too weak to capture rogues that threaten the safety of the pack," my father said amid heavy breathing.
I should feel sorry for him but I have already exhausted all the Sympathetic words and emotions in my dictionary on myself.
"Since your favorite son is going to be the alpha, should he not be the one saving the pack?" I asked with a carefree attitude, I know I ought to be more respectful towards my dad, but he already lost that privilege a long time ago.
"You are useless, you can't even help your brother to protect the pack. stupid good for nothing boy, you are as useless as your stupid mother, I should have killed you when I had the chance. You are not fit to be called my son. Get out!" He said while coughing and clenching on his bed.
At least I am not the one dying and unable to do things myself.
I left the room and ran out of the pack, that is what I always do when I feel pushed against the wall, I run to keep out the anger, I run to keep out the pain. I navigated through the woods till I have gotten to where I felt I could seat and relax.
overtime, I have decided not to give in to their words no matter how bad they hurt. I promised myself not to be bothered by it. Those who say a father is an integral part of a child's growth have never been with a lousy and weak father.
I wish I never had a father!
With just a few weeks to my eighteenth year birthday, I can't lose sight now. I have to at least wait to find my mate before I leave this shithole.
Hopefully, if the saying is true that my mate is the best of me, then it's fair I get to see and meet this person whoever that may be.
"Nick where are you" Simeon called out through the mind link.
“I'm fine, hope everything is alright?" I asked as there was a bit of tension in his voice.
"The rogue is back, and we are trying to close in on her,” Simeon said and one can tell he was running from his breathing.
“Where are you guys”
“Heading towards the east side,”
"I will be right there," I said as I took off my clothes and shifted without much discomfort, I have always been able to do that since I first shifted at the age of thirteen.
I raced off to where the other guards were, and caught up with them within seconds. I could see that they were already circling on her, but I told them to break their formation because I felt that is what the rogue wanted.
So they started breaking out and making more space for the rogue to make a run for it. When the rogue felt they have given her enough space, she ran, and I went after her. She was fast as we kept running around the woods till I finally caught up with her, throwing her against the woods.
She growled while lying on the ground, I quickly shifted back to my two legs and kept the chains around her to prevent her from running away.
The chain is also meant to restrain her powers in case she is a witch or if she has any other supernatural powers, aside been a werewolf.
All this while, I discovered she was head bent and giggling. I stood right in her front with both hands crossed on my chest.
"Who sent you?" I barked at her, giving her a cold look. She peeped at me a bit and bent her head again giggling. Just then I felt someone tap me on my shoulder, I turned to see it was Simeon.
"You are naked Nick" Simeon whispered to me, as I ran out of the scene as fast as my legs could carry me.
NickIt's been six days since I arrested that rogue of a girl. And the speculations making round is that she has refused to shift back to her human form.I have intentionally been trying to avoid her. The thought of going before her after what happened the other I captured her, doesn't seem to go down well with me.But it looks like everyone I have sent to her has failed woefully in convincing her to shift back to her human nature, so she can tell us about who she is working for.The mantle finally came back to me as I walked reluctantly to the private prison she was kept in. The other prisoners were not comfortable with her staying with them, so she was kept in isolatio
Kyle's POVI took a not-so-busy road as I head back to my cell in other to avoid being seen by the guards. And as I got closer to my cell, I heard a little hush voice, it sounded as they were having some sort of meeting and my antenna immediately went up. Like who wouldn't want to be let in on a bit of juicy gossip. I could have just ignored and gone sit my tiny ass in my prison.But the curious part of me wanted to find out what's going on. So I moved closer to where the voices were coming from. On getting there, I perceived the smell of the wolfsbane plant. On a closer look, I saw a woman wearing a very long cape had most of her face covered, addressing a group of humans or so I presume."Just make sure you empty the whole content on him and let him burn to hell" I heard her say.
KyleIt's been two days since I started living in the packhouse, and truthfully I was getting bored of it already. I practically can't go out without an escort or guard and it is getting very annoying.One of the reasons I agreed to stay was to catch a little bit of fun, my supposed mate is clueless about what fun is, he ignores me and pretends I don't exist.Not that I will have another way though, Richard is a spoilt, proud, and full of himself piece of shit.I checked to see that the time is already 5:00 in the morning, my stomach started groaning for food. I am a heavy eater, but since I got here, I most times pretend to be contented with little or no food during dinner.When we eat together I
Nick's POV“Nick” “Nick” “Nick”I heard several voices call out, I opened my eyes slowly to see that I was lying down on the floor in the field. I was surrounded by my pack guys. They all looked at me with various expressions on their faces. My head was seriously banging from a headache that I didn't know where it came from.My brain did a quick check on what happened earlier, the rogue girl, the rogues that attacked me, and lastly the woman that called me Ivar. Who is she and how does the rogue connect to it all."Is he alright?" I heard someone ask.I tried listening to see if I could hear their thoughts but I got nothing, now that is strange. I could almost swear I heard those rogues' thoughts. "I'm fine thanks," I said, a
Nick's POVMy body felt extremely light, as I navigated through the woods. I was running with Simeon and somehow lost track of where and when I must have left him. But, I know he would send me a message should he get in any sort of trouble.After running for about an hour or so, I felt pretty warmed up and started reducing my pace. It was dark in the night and since it was our job to guard the pack, we were doing all we could to stay awake. I saw a fallen tree and walked towards it to sit down.The usual midnight critters sounds were very mild making the pitch woods a little bit scary for a first-timer. The half-moon up in the sky was the only source of light and since it had previously rained heavily, the leaves were wet and the floor dense“Where are you, Simeon?” I asked through the mind link.“sweet Jesus, where the hell have you been man? I'm trapped,” he said in a very low tone as if someone was going to re
Nick's POVI woke up later to see that Simeon had put up a fire with his back turned to me. I was having a minor headache and my Tommy was seriously rumbling hard due to a sudden intense hunger, I was hungry as fuck.I let out a deep breath and tried sitting up, which got Simeon to turn back to look at me.“How are you doing?” he asked as his eyes settles on mine. From his expressions, I could tell that he has so many questions to ask but was trying not to rush into it just yet.I wish there was someone I could ask questions about what the fuck is going on with me.“yeah,” I said, clearing my throat after noticing how coarse it sounded even to my hearing.
Miranda's POV“It seems your bastard stepson is getting more famous by the day to the extent that you are even hosting a birthday party in his honor," Richard said dramatically with a silly smile hanging on his lips.I looked at him in full rage, anger and fury filled my entire body, honestly, if he was not my son that moment, I would have ripped out his throat. It is difficult making an omega son an alpha king, it's slightly more difficult when that son is a stupid one. Instead of Richard thinking of how we can eliminate that bastard, he is here taunting me with his success story."Maybe if you took your training seriously and stopped hanging around with your useless bunch of friends, he won't be so important," I said to nonchalant-looking Richard."come off it mum, it's not my fault that I was born as an omega, and if it is anybody's fault that would be yours, maybe your body is not good enough to produce an alpha male," he said annoyingly
Kyle's POVI woke up this morning with a pain in my chest, I hate to think of what it is to come, and the fact that my mother will be worried sick once more. in as much as I would love to cut off this little adventure and head back home, I also do not want my mother to be bothered because of my health challenges.I miss my mother a lot, I wonder if she is doing fine. I have thought of sneaking out of the palace to go check on her, but being that I am constantly watched and followed, I have kept the idea at the back of my mind. I would hate it if any harm come to her as a result of my bad decisionI stood up from the bed I was lying down on and dragged my foot into the bathroom to take a long warm bath, I stayed in the shower, as the water drenched my skin in its splendor, that moment I wished that some sort of miracle could happen, that I did not have to go through the pain that was going to come. I was born with congenital heart disease, mum did not disco
