NATHANIEL 'S POVThere was a glint of frightening anger in my voice and yet, I spoke so kindly, but the boy was scared.“Betas”. He answered,” They said they would kill me because I am an Omega.” His voice was shaking, he was lean and pale just like me back then, after I lost my family.I smiled, his predicament could help me.“Do you want to stop being an Omega?” I asked him.He looked frightened but he still nodded courageously.“I have a way to make you one. A way to take this fear away, a way where Betas bow to you and you will be the one hurting them. A way to end all these problems, so you and your family will not live in fear and problems anymore.” “Is it possible?” He asked me, with disbelief in his voice.He needed a demonstration. I looked at the tree beside me and conjured a spell. The tree rotted immediately.The boy was shocked“If I can do that. Do you think I cannot make you a Beta?” I looked directly at himHe bowed at me immediately.“Sir, please give me strength. I
NATHANIEL 'S POV “Boy don't freak out, I don't bite and I'm not here to hurt you or something. You have successfully drawn the Alpha’s attention to yourself which made me curious. You were in my battalion before, right?” He asked with a smile that made my stomach sour. He looked like a good man but hell no, I hate him.“Yes, I was part of this year's first recruit but the Luna saw it fit for me to work directly in the Palace,” I said in a humble voice, my head bent again so he could not see my angry eyes.“You are also the boy who was called in several times last week for taking care of the omega's in the laborers' quarters. The king does not know that about you yet does he?” His voice made me feel he might be looking for a way or something to leverage on, to bring me down.I wouldn't allow this, I quickly went on my two knees immediately. “They were suffering, I could not turn a blind eye, I am sorry for disobeying the rules.”“You should not be afraid of me, but the Alpha. He hat
NATHANIEL 'S POV "Today is the beginning of the contest for selecting the royal guard of the king. The first day is for questioning. This session will decide who knows the most about his Alpha and this great kingdom, the contestants are…”The wolf chief of guards continued to talk. He was used as a temporary replacement while the king found someone who would take the position that Tristan, his Beta, left open. I sat in the third seat, hidden in the small crowd of potential contestants who were with me. The question would soon begin.I peered at the different people there. Black magic cannot identify who is the smartest or the winner but it can help stop a thing or two from happening, which was what I was depending on.“Contestants, are you ready?” The wolf chief of the guard asked.“Yes!” They all chorused.“This is awesome. I always love these contests, especially this session.” Someone speaks behind me. I looked back. It was Andy. She ordered the boy beside me to leave his seat
EMILY'S POV Lucien returned to the room late after the contest questioning session. I was still tucking the boys in bed in their room when he returned so we didn't meet immediately after he entered the room.He was in the shower when I came in. My scent filled the room and he immediately called my name.“Emmy, you are late!”I huffed in astonishment.“I am late? So what about you, did you come early?” I mocked his words. He growled at me and it made me laugh.“Join me in the shower. I have a few things I want to tell you.” His words sounded like an order. “No, I already bathed.” I refused outrightly.“I already took my bath and I don't want to take another one. I will be waiting for you in bed.” I climbed the bed and rolled into the sheets, waiting for him. He was out of the bathroom after a few minutes. His towel was around his waist and his chest bare. I sat up in the bed, running my eyes around him. “Stop looking at me, I am too tired to handle you tonight.” He said, findi
EMILY’S POVWe entered the kitchen, like one of the maids since we were dressed like them. We joined the cooking. I wanted to wait for the gossiping to begin but Andy was a master in instigating gossip so she set it out immediately.“The lord's son is so hot now. The army had changed him, I want to marry him right now.” She giggled.“Oh, I thought I was the only one who noticed.” One of the maids took up the gossip immediately.“Oh now everyone wants to marry him. But nobody wanted him when he was goofing around. But the change was so fast. I could even bow.” Some of the ladies gasped. It was obvious to me now, that he was not behaving like he was doing now before. There are many changes in the way he behaves now.He had never cared about anyone even though he was jovial.I came closer for the gist masters to talk more.“I think the weirdest thing is that he helps Omega's now.” One of them said, “he used to hate them a lot. He even beat his mother for being an Omega.”“You can ima
ANDY'S POV“Are you sure you want to know?” My gaze fixed on him.“Yes,” he nodded.“Well, there is only one way. By grabbing some food in the local stores outside.” I took his hand, our fingers interlocked and took him out of the palace.We went to the famous food stall in the city. The queue in front of the restaurant is always long. Some sellers there had to start selling drinks and other things that go along with food so the customers of the restaurant would buy from them in case they were in a hurry.We stopped in front of the shop. And I asked him to wait for the food so I could go somewhere. He agreed and I left.I walked a bit far from the place. I initiated the mind link with the queen immediately.“My Luna, I have news for you?”“Yes, what is it?” She asked me, connecting to the link immediately.“I have indeed noticed strange things about him.”“What is it?” “He cannot shift, my queen but every soldier must shift before he is recruited. How can he not know how to shift and
LUCAS'S POV I saw the back of a man inside the hut, he was kneeling, and his clothes were that of the army. He was moving his hands and I was even more eager to see what he was doing.I slipped in and came close, tapping him on the back. He swung his hand behind him immediately, and I dodged, moving back. He rose from the ground turning to look at me, his eyes were alert and wide open.I didn't care though, I was more interested in the lady on the floor. She looked familiar. He was unbuttoning her clothes. Why would he do that? I came closer. The man blocked me immediately, he was giving me a surprised and confused stare. I summon up courage and speak.“Excuse me but that is my mother's bodyguard. I want to help her up if you don't mind.” “Who the hell are you?” He said to me, staring hard at me. I think he noticed the resemblance between my father and me, and he was frightened immediately.“You are the king's son,” he spoke with fear all over his voice.“Mhmm. Now can I help her up
TRISTAN'S POV “You want me to meet Lionel in his palace and get him to side with you? You are aware Lionel Is a greedier bastard than you are and he will never go against Lucien even though he has all those attributes.” I said, my brow raised. I was seriously finding his suggestion funny“Yes, I am aware, which is why you are important. Carry him along and make him see that Lucien has lost favor with you then fuel his desire to take Lucien down.” Malcom incited me with his sugar-coated tongue.“And later you will kill him and take his kingdom after taking Lucien's own.” he laid his plan out dryly.Malcolm let out his famous crafty smile. He patted me softly on the back.“Hey, I will leave Luna for you and a place for the two of you to enjoy life. I will even get you a magic trick that will make her never remember she met Lucien.” He gave me a thug on my apparel and eyed me like he was blurting out my desire.At that moment all I wanted was to slap him off his fangs and then murd
