Chase’s POV I cried out in pain as I raised my hands in front of my eyes to stop the sunlight from frying them out.“Wake up, master Chase,” a masculine voice called out from the window side.I knew the voice, and I really wanted to bash his head in as I turned away, putting the sheets over my chest to cover my body. “Go away, Pedro. No one needs you here,” I said, turning in the other direction to back the sunlight.“I do know your father wants you in the training room by eleven and this is a few minutes past eleven,” he said.“What!?” I jerked out of bed, kicking the sheets to the ground to see him standing in front of the rising sun like an angel with the ball of fire behind his head like a halo.He shrugged his shoulders, dropping his hands behind him. “I did not think you would forget.”“And you did not come wake up me up early,” I said as I stood to my feet, rushing to the mirror.“You were asleep, and I thought you had something planned for the day,” he said as he walked away
TXUNAMY'S POVThe house was silent when I walked in. Mom and dad liked to stay in their own part of the large house, dad didn't like to be seen just by anyone, except when he was in the courts and it was utterly imperative that he stay there and handle political affairs.Riele, my sister, was not anywhere in sight. Well, she was definitely in her room and I only needed to get in there and startle her. I knew she'd be glad I'm back from the peace treaty trip that had kept me away for three days.As her only sister and also older sister, I found that I was constantly saddled with the responsibility of constantly keeping her company, a responsibility which I derived pleasure in.I called her once when I started to approach her door. She didn't reply. I reached the door, saw that it was ajar and pushed it open.I stood there, momentarily frozen at what I saw. Riele was in bed with a man, I didn't know who he was, and for the first few minutes I stood there, it was only her soft moans t
TXUNAMY'S POVIt was mom and dad, the alpha and Luna of the Blood Venom pack, Alpha Kelvin and Luna Gloria. Dad came in first, somehow, in the space of three minutes, Oliver had managed to reach for his clothes and had dressed up under the covers before dad was fully in the room.Dad recognized him immediately."Alpha prince Oliver!"He called in a somewhat delighted tone, totally ignoring me. Oliver nodded his head."It's me sir, it's a pleasure seeing you again after all these years, albeit in a very awkward scenario."He said. Mom pushed past me then and asked,"What is going on here? And what was that loud noise about?"As though she was blind to the couple in bed and like she had not seen me at all."Oh, I imagine Oliver here came to see his betrothed, Txunamy."Dad said in the most casual tone I had ever heard him use. He was not even looking at me. Mom nodded in agreement and my eyes just kept moving from one person to the other and then it rested on Riele's face. She had w
TXUNAMY'S POV "Could you please let us have a bit of family time? The domestic help will take care of you until the alpha comes ."Mom said to Oliver who was still pretty shaken by the several instantaneous happenings. He nodded and slowly walked out of the room. The door was shut behind him."Now let's sit and know what to do. We have to have this mess sorted out."She said. It was not unlike her to be the one to handle matters like this, so I sat at one edge of the incredibly large bed, far away from where I could easily reach Riele and probably hit her. Which had never happened."Riele, why would you sleep with a man whom you've not properly investigated? Now look where this mess has landed us."Mom said. That was all the scolding I knew Riele was getting. It didn't matter what she had done or the gravity of the offense she had committed. The scolding was always the same, gentle and polite, she was not allowed to cry during the scolding and this was usually heavily dependent on m
CHASE LUCAS, ILLEGITIMATE SON OF THE ALPHA OF THE MOON HOWLERS PACKI turned once on the bed and the pain pivoted straight to my upper arm. I groaned and cursed. Lucas, my father often said that drinking did no good to anyone, this time, I could almost imagine him telling me that I was reaping from where I had sown, accident being the reward of driving while drunk. I smirked because he'd be believing that without second thoughts.My personal body guard and most trusted man, Pedro, came to have me discharged from the hospital. He was his usual self, casually dressed and ready to hoist me off if he thought it was necessary for him to do that.He had a smirk on his face when he came into the room I had been admitted in, alone."How did everything go, Pedro?"I asked the moment he was fully inside, the door shut behind him."Hope no one got hurt like I am?"I asked him. He frowned his face as if to say I was not hurt at all.Well, alright, just a small discomfort on one arm "No one was
TXUNAMY'S POVWe were to go to the Moon Howlers pack, to the royal household where we would meet the alpha, Lucas and his wife, Maureen as regards the mixup with his meeting with his mate. Dad came to give me small prep talk while we were yet to get into the car."The pack is Proud of you and how much you have done for the pack, daughter."He said. I nodded."Your skilled swordsmanship is one thing that has inspired a lot of Young girls In the pack, they now understand now that there is no limitation for them in whatever they set their mind on."Dad said. I nodded. On that, he was right. When I had first started the sword fight, many had frowned upon it, saying it was unladylike and too far away from what the daughters of alphas were to learn. The beta and the gamma had come to my father severally to state that I was not setting a good example for the other girls from noble homes, but my resilience and courage had kept me going until I had become skilled in the art, so much that I c
CHASE LUCAS POVI slowed down my walking pace when I began to hear their voices from the largest living room where all family meetings usually took place.They were talking about Oliver's mating with the Blood Venom royal girls and the conversation was one that interested me. I heard my step mother, Maureen's voice first. "It is not so muc harm as your father makes it seem. Both are the royal girls and it means nothing to me."She was saying. I turned and asked Pedro to leave me alone. I was going to stand there and listen. They would have the conversation with me in the room anyway.But maybe they would not talk as freely while I was there. But my father, the alpha of the Moon Howlers pack had asked me to come home and join this very important conversation and he had given me no choice in the matter at all. "But mother," Oliver Started to say in response to Maureen, "She is even more beautiful than the oldest, even though I'd rather be with the oldest. I don't know how cursed I
CHASE LUCAS POVI had left Maureen and Oliver because there was a chance that I would say something I'd end up hating myself for.And it did not help that when I was furious, it was a fight I wanted. Oliver was never a match for me. He'd bleed so badly until Lucas would have to interfere himself.Everytime I fought him, I proved to him who was older and he never wanted to fight. This was the one thing that I could throw jibes at him over and he'd lose his calm. But I didn't like being the one to throw taunts. That was easily something he enjoyed doing, not me. I didn't have to think of it. By default, I was heading to the coffee shop that had been my favorite since I was a child. Each time I had been angered enough to leave home, it was the same place that I headed to. There was a calming potency that the coffee carried and over the years, it had not changed.There was one large door for accessing the inside of the coffee shop which now had another department, a drug store.I had o
