EMILY'S POV“He is the one!” The old wolf thrust his finger forward.I looked, he was pointing at the Tax Wolf. I looked at the tax wolf, who snapped at him immediately. “How dare you point at me over anything. My allegiance Is pledged to the alpha and the Luna, I could not do anything against them.” “You liar.” The old wolf growled at him.“You are the one who suggested that the taxes grieved for the Queen's village inhabitants be taken away so the palace can send the finance which you wanted too. Your greed is unquestionable. if you could do that, who knows what other atrocities you have committed.”“Guards execute the tax wolf for causing a rebellion and revolution with dark magic.” I read out his sentence and watched the guards drag him out to stay and pin him down as well.“Kill them both. I don't need offenders like them in my palace.” I raised my hand to signal the execution. Other members of the council were shivering where they stood. “My Luna, I could have never done that
EMILY'S POV My eyes widened… Lucas?Stella opened the door immediately. They burst into the room and almost knocked Stella down from their way, as they rushed to the bed and climbed up. Lucas climbed up and Liam stood staring at me.“Oh, my little pups,” I screamed with excitement. “How come, you guys are here now? I miss you so much my darlings but how come you guys are here? What happened?” I asked throwing Lucas in the air.“Father asked us to return with General Thorson because he read your letter and discovered things were steaming up here in the palace and he also said, he'll be needing your attention over there too.” Liam briefed me, still smiling.My eyes went to the door, General Thorson stood there in ordinary clothes, Stella staring at him like he was a glowing god. I shook my head at her but she ignored me.“Oh, that's so nice I missed you all so much.” I put Lucas down so I could hug the smug Liam.“The Alpha sent us, a letter to you.” General Thorson said to me, handing
LUCIEN'S POV Emily is here already?“Emily?” I called out. The tent cover rose and she stepped in, bowing softly. “My Alpha.” I stepped out of my chair immediately and hugged her. The scout captain excused himself and left us.“You got here so quickly. How fast is your horse?”As fast as my desire to be with you.” She flattered me most sweetly, letting me kiss her cheek.“I missed you,” I said, pressing her onto my muscular chest.“I missed you too, but we have no time for this. The enemy is already at our doorstep.” I agreed, letting her out of my arms and I noticed she was already in her armor.“Here is where the enemy is, you said that we could still do something about it.”“Yes, I did. Have you ever played hide and seek?” She asked me.I let out an exasperated smile. “I don't think you are referring to the one you play every night. I want to spice things up.” I chuckled a little.She threw me a light punch, blushing. “That is not what I mean. I meant the children's game, hide
MALCOLM'S POV I looked at the three fair asses on my bed waiting for me. A glass of wine in my hand, but I lost interest in touching it instantly. I sat on a chair close to the bed and with a dry tone, I asked all the girls to go. They refused, pleading to at least warm my bed for the night but I don't fancy any of them anymore. They even tried to seduce me. One rubbing her lips on mine, the other tugging on my trousers to pull them off. I did not react to any of it. Instead, anger lit my face as I wondered why they would not leave. Noticing my countenance, they pulled away from me and left the tent.I sighed, stood up, and went to lie on the bed alone. Almost immediately someone returned to my tent. I heaved, so upset, I shouted.“Get out of my tent you whore, have your ears been made for fancy? How many times will I state that I do not care for any of your disgusting stunts.”“Wow, first time I see a man reject feminine love. Would you prefer boys instead?” Tristan said, clapping
MALCOLM'S POVHe roared at me immediately, and I chuckled loudly. “How does it feel to lose to the so-called lesser beings? Well, I hope you savor it because it is about to happen again.”I jumped toward him, swinging my claws in the air. He dodged the first and the second but not the third, my claws ripped up his skin. He growled in pain, grabbing my hand, and flinging me forward, my back hit a tree and I gasped at the shock but still found myself standing again.Lucien had attempted to attack me himself and I was not letting him.He threw a punch, I dodged him. I went for a thrust but something else happened, it was so fast, that I didn't see it until Lucien was rolling down the hill with Tristan. I think Tristan thought I was losing and pushed Lucien aside but he ended up rolling down with him.I chased after them, watching them fight in mid-air, then Tristan pulled a trick and Lucien could not fight him, Tristan got the upper hand and impaled Lucien with his claws.That was the
TRISTAN'S POV He answered,”yes.” Inquisition in his voice. I noticed and defended myself immediately.“I can't believe it. Before I left she was not even powerful enough to answer the council and be in the throne room. How is she manning the army now?”"My woman is now a force to be reckoned with,” he said. I smiled at the way he was announcing his ownership.I had the urge to laugh but I didn't. Instead, I commended her growth. Now we were near flowing waters and his wounds had healed well. “This is it, we have to camp behind this lake.” We began to move through the water. “We need to inform the Luna that we could not cripple the forces of Malcolm and so the fight is still extreme. And I already lit the flare for her and she is coming this way now and I'm afraid he is going to meet her. We need to get to her before he does.” "But how? There are only two ways to get there and that is… “ we stepped out of the flowing river, soaking wet because we were swimming."Either you go throu
LUCIEN'S POVWe will have to run from here, I think we have gotten enough rest." I spoke to the wolves that were with me. They slowly rose to their feet and came closer.“You see that," I pointed at the mountaintop in the distance.“That is where we are going so get ready to run. I will not look back on any of you. You will have to keep up with me, do you understand? “ I looked at them one more time and they nodded their heads, agreeing to it.I shifted and moved forward and they were right behind me, running as fast as they could. Through the forest, I passed some shortcut pathways and over shallow streams so we could get there in time.I still arrived before them and waited a while before they surfaced one by one and shifted to humans, standing close to me. I went to the sandy part of where we were standing and drew a map on the floor.“The last time I came here the king had one giant gate along the west and a giant wall around the city and then I can say that they are barely fortif
LUCIEN’S POV The voice raged in the dark, I quickly jumped up and I didn't try to retaliate because I saw thousands of eyes in the dark. This is the hidden soldiers I'm here for.“I'm not here to fight you,I am here to liberate you from the enemy, Malcolm and ask your help to defeat him" I shouted calmly at them.“You can't defeat that beast, Malcolm, it's a lie, you want to have your pack burnt to the ground? You dare not." They all laughed.“Malcolm is not in the city. He is at war with my kingdom and if you join me, we will defeat and kill him and all of you will be free,” I explained and their laughter died out as they began to reason what I just said.“And if we follow you, what guarantee do we have that we will not be enslaved by you as Malcolm has wanted to do to us? The deep voice I had initially spoken again."Before the moon goddess, I made an oath to do exactly what I have said. If I do the contrary, let the goddess do with me as she pleases.”They were stirred immediately
