NEILLA'S POVBefore she gave a reply, a very flustered looking Stella stormed in. She was vibrating from the tips of her hair down to her brown heeled boots. Her action had us springing up from our seats in shock. One look in her eyes and I concluded that all was not well."Neilla! You should see this."Without thinking, I made my way with haste out of the room, Mirald on my heels. A small circle had gathered in the centre of one of the rooms. That's when I noticed how quiet this part of the building had gone. Like a shush fell over the room.Even the younger pups had fear in their eyes, evident in the glossy shimmer on their lower eyelids. They were terrified of whatever had befallen the victim. I pushed myself into the middle of the circle to witness for myself.True to my fear, it was one of the pups I'd grown to develop a mother-son relationship with and loved to death. It was Ethel. I flew into panic mode, my heart nearly having a heart attack when I realized he was no longer br

RYLAN'S POVI walked out of yet another unsuccessful meeting with the council members whose disagreeable nature had began to tick me off in the wrong way. This time, it was just me in attendance which ended in a total flop. As always, I lost my temper, there by losing my control and the beast within snatched the chance of my slipup to grab one of the elderly men by his neck.It resulted in a query from them. Old suckers!Whoever brought up the notion that elders were the epitome of wisdom had to have been blind drunk and stark stupid at the time to suggest that.The thudding sounds of my combat boot bounced off the walls of the long hallway in a resounding echo. I took a fleeting look at the spot where Neilla and I had shared that fleeting intimate moment which lasted at barely two minutes. All that came to mind was the feel of her body pressed into mine, nothing but proof that her rightful place was in my arms."And right beside you to rule as Luna." My wolf interjected. Ever since t

RYLAN'S POVThere had been a caught of one of those dreadful vermin that terrified the pack. The entire process of the capture supervised by Zadik and Andros. They usually never got along well because Andros talked more than his hands could get busy while Zadik was more of the complete opposite.Perhaps I did it on purpose to spite Zadik who'd been acting more reserved than usual. Especially around me, deliberately using the term 'your majesty' simply to spite me. Indeed, in my perspective, he deserved to be paired with Andros.The information which Venn shared with me turned out to be authentic after all, coupled with strictly adhering to the instructions given and throwing tactics in the mix. Not to mention those demons were downright deceitful, having the habit of shape shifting into their last victim just to lure an unsuspecting one in.Currently, we were in the underground laboratory keeping close watch on the animal and to our surprise it has done over five different shape shif

RYLAN'S POVThe end of the hallway had never stretched further than this minute. It was like a never ending tunnel, narrow and cold stretching into eternity.Okay, maybe that was exaggeration but still."How did it happen? Sheila ought to be here as planned, isn't she?" I queried, my voice deepening by several tones attempting to betray me. Since my mother's death, I lost the ability to feel the pain of anything else. Hell, I even forgot how to feel love.That would change after now.The soldier moved ahead, not stopping for once to look but replied quickly. "She is. She has taken her position right beside the alpha's sickbed, your Majesty."His reply did not pacify me completely, still it managed to take a little weight off my chest to know that he was at least in capable hands. "Good."No words were exchanged as we continued on our way briskly to my father's quarters. It bothered me to know that despite our almost altercation, Zadik still followed right behind me. A small feeling of

NEILLA'S POVOne month after...The news of the Alpha's passing had of course taken everyone by surprise. Although his death was inevitable, it came as a staggering blow to us having to lose another selfless leader. Now it was up to Rylan to make the pack proud or cause members of the pack to renounce it.Still, the late Alpha's presence would be greatly missed. Rylan was doing a terrific job at curtailing the rate of massacre forcing the wolves into relocation. I wasn't going to pretend that he wasn't doing his best despite how he'd hurt me.The goddess only gave options for compatibility there by making it our choice if we accepted the bond or declined. I was forced to resign to fate. After all, Venn was doing a far better job as Luna than I would have."Stop talking down on yourself, Reneilla. You haven't fully embraced me and the possibly of what we can achieve if we reach our full potential together." My wolf protested in my head. Somehow, we'd gotten over our differences and she

NEILLA'S POV Incredulity crossed her features as she gaped at me. She was having so much trouble trying to believe it. Hell, I didn't even believe it until days after I realized he was serious about his decision."Oh my goddess, that's terrible. I thought you and the Alpha were mates. Nancy never forgot to talk our ears off whenever she got the chance to gossip."I rolled my eyes. Trust Nancy to be the one to sound my trumpet. I set the plate containing one last uneaten cookie, losing all appetite. My stomach churned again and the discomfort I was feeling must have reflected in my face for Stella to scoot closer to me."Are-- are you alright?" Her hand was placed on my lower back as I bent over."I'm fine. I'm just-- it's the pups acting up, I guess." I gasped out, forcing myself to concentrate on my breathing patterns in order to ease the storm of negative emotions rushing through me."No you're not. You look quite the opposite. Come, get up." She rose from her seat, grabbing my ar

NEILLA'S POVThen why did it sting much harder than it should, I mused, standing rooted to a spot. For a brief moment, I was stunned into immobility, holding onto Ethel like he was the anchor that could keep me staying afloat in the billowing seas of turmoil I was tossed into.The voices seemed to gain an increasing tempo, accompanied by the sound of shoes crunching the little pebbles on the soil until all sounds ceased altogether. Automatically, I swivelled my head to gaze at the owners of the voices, the bearers of the news that had stopped my brain from carrying out simple tasks like telling my feet to move.I watched all the colors drained from their faces as they stared back at me. They surely wasn't expecting me to be the one they'd bump into after their little rendezvous to make me their topic of discussion.And of course, it'd be Nancy heading the meeting. Her eyes were cast on her shoes in shame? No, Nancy didn't do shame. She gossiped with no remorse to anyone who cared to l

RYLAN'S POVThe journey to the Bloodtrail pack took us more than five hours to arrive the borders and three to get to the city's central where their Alpha, General Vlad, had his throne situated. It took five hours because we made use of the jeeps they sent to ensure smoothness of our movement.There were four other cars going ahead and two right behind us. Vlad insisted he would see to our protection and general welfare to and fro his pack. Of course, that came after several persuasion on his part.Not like we couldn't afford to get us some jeeps, however, it was against the guiding rules which our founding ancestors laid down for us to live by. It was also also the reason why we seemed to keep our distance away from mixing with the human world.Nonetheless, I admit that I had never seen anything compared to the speed of the car. All we had to do was remain seated as it drove itself to it's designated destination. The only hitch we experienced on our way was the occasional stops we ma
