Twelve
AMBER POV. (Pg 13)
I stretch my arms across my body as we walk through the grassy field in front of our cabin. I feel completely drained. I argued with so many wolves today that my throat is sore. You would think they would accept my decisions as their Goddess, but mistrust was definitely evident today.
No one wanted to accept my decision regarding Octavius being the King, and only one pack seemed happy to move. All in all, I successfully passed along my changes and my orders, but I didn't create harmony. I didn't bring peace of mind to my wolves, and that kills me.
"Tired," Lucian asks as he watches me shake out my limbs.
"Yes. Very tired. The past few days have been nonstop. I am drained," I reply, and Lucian nods before linking his fingers with mine.
"That's another reason to limit how much Oct

OCTAVIUS POV I pace in the back room of the auditorium as Garrett, and his father argue back and forth lowly just outside. I can hear every word being said between them and the disloyalty coming from Garrett makes me furious. If he weren't my blood relative, I would kill him. Before I began eavesdropping ten minutes ago, I would have bet my title that Garrett had my back. But now I know I was wrong. He doesn't have my back. He barely tolerates my front. "I think he is making the wrong choice, but I'm not going to say anything to him. He is the chosen one," Garret whispers with sarcastic disdain dripping from every word. "I don't think his decision is wrong. I don't trust the older wolves. There is too much disloyalty. He is asking for a rebellion amongst the old Alphas. He shouldn't even be offering it to them," Lucifer replies, soundin

OCTAVIUS POV"Fucking wait," Garrett shouts as I punch a tree. I am half a football field away from him, but he is closing in on me fast. I just want to be alone. I don't want to hear his reasons for betraying me. I already know the reasons. I want to break his arm again, but I can't do that. I have to be responsible. I can't go around harming my pack members because they secretly can't stand me. Or because they secretly believe I don't deserve my title. I work hard for them. My life is devoted to them, but does that mean anything? No. "Why should I," I growl, and I hear him sigh. We just finished giving out long life to all that would take it, and I am exhausted. Lucifer and Kohn both ended up receiving the bite along with their mates, which pissed me off. Now I want to rest. I need to eat so I can go to bed and put this day behind me, but I can't seem to escape mister guilty. "Look, I was venting. Everything you heard was just me being jealous, Tav. I think you are an am
The New Age King // Book 2 Fifteen
OCTAVIUS POV Avoiding Garrett and Jannah hasn't been hard at all. Garrett and I have only communicated via pack link. We haven't even been in the same room since we passed out long life to the pack members. Jannah has done what she always does, and since I have no reason to call her to me, we haven't seen or spoken to each other. Plus, I have been extra busy assigning rooms and dealing with drama from the new pups that have moved in. But today is the day we see each other. It's hard to believe that today might be the day I find my mate. But I am not getting my hopes up. I am 90% positive my parents haven't even looked at a mate for me yet. And I am 99% sure Jannah is not my mate, but if I am wrong...Octavius- Garrett, Jannah, meet me in my office. I send the link as I pull a black t-shirt over my head. I am ready for the day, but I can't
The New Age King // Book 2 Sixteen
OCTAVIUS POV rated R I growl as my eyes open. Anger and frustration are festering in my bloodstream like a potent venom. I want to kill. I want to rip apart anything and everything that is standing in front of the happily ever after Garrett spoke about the other day. The dream of finding a mate and starting a family that loves me is being dangled in front of me on a string. I'm like a mouse in a lab. I have to complete the task the mad scientists made before I can get my prize. Octavius- If they want me to kill, I will kill. Beerus growls as his feelings synchronize with mine. Our bloodlust explodes and I tear off my sleep shorts as I stand. Human clothes won't be necessary where I am going. I open my bedroom door and shift. I trot through the house at a brisk pace ignoring the few pups hanging out in the tv r
The New Age King // Book 2 Seventeen
OCTAVIUS POV rated R I keep my face neutral as he pathetically cries out in pain, but I am getting more annoyed with every second that passes. It is clear he has been the one we have spotted over the past few months. So I don't need to worry about there being multiple fairies running around. But I am worried about the fact he has already turned over his information. She must have communicated with him as she did me in my dream, which means she abandoned this follower, probably to conserve energy. Opening portals seems to be a lot of work for her. He really isn't worth the effort. He appears to be weak in more ways than one—a perfect sacrificial lamb. But what does she plan to do with the information she has collected from him? And how am I supposed to push her to open a portal? "Shut up," I order, and he shifts from screaming to just sobbing.
The New Age King // Book 2 Eighteen
OCTAVIUS POV rated R "How do you contact the other side," I growl after watching the spot the fairy pointed out for a few hours. The fairy looks away from his arm and shrugs. "I get contacted. I do not do the contacting," he grumbles, and I growl. He tries to hide his flinch, but he isn't successful. "You said you need to be near her. That's the reason she hasn't sent more of you over. How have you been separated from her for this long? You have to know a way to communicate with that side, or you would be dead," I growl while standing up. Genuine fear morphs across his gaunt face, and I lunge. I wrap my hand around his neck, and he immediately begins to beg. "Please don't! I will do it. Please. Please," he practically screams, but
The New Age King // Book 2 Nineteen
OCTAVIUS POVOctavius- Is everyone assembled?Garrett- Yes.Octavius- Good.I grin as I tuck Melanie's head under my arm. I am seconds away from presenting our foe's head to my entire pack, and I have never been giddier. I am so eager for everyone to look at me with respect I can practically taste it. After this, there should be no more doubt or worry about our future. The families who are bunking with other pack members can return home. I will keep the additional homes coming in just in case we need them, but this is it. This is the beginning of peace. I don't have to worry about anything except being a regular Alpha. I could even split the packs back up. There is no need for everyone to live under my thumb. I throw open the side door to the auditorium, and every head turns towards me. I smile as pure excitement fi
The New Age King // Book 2 Twenty
OCTAVIUS POV I exhale loudly as I stand on the edge of my mother's realm. I am not sure if the barrier will give way and allow me in, but I have to try. I have to tell them that my job is done. I didn't need backup or years of planning. I finished off our enemy easily, and I want some recognition. I want a mate. I move forward, and unlike many times before, my foot steps right into my mother's realm. I breathe a sigh of relief before marching across the almost empty field. I keep my back straight and my eyes forward. I have come here for a purpose. I don't want to think about my emotional breakdown last night, and I don't want to seem like it is still affecting me. I want them both to see me as a King. I knock on my mother's door and wait. They don't get any visitors besides me, so I know they are aware it's me knocking. It takes a few minutes but finally, the door
