TRISTAN'S POV I could feel her tremble as I said those words. The feeling I wanted to establish had been done. At Least if she is afraid, she will comply as we will have an easy trip back home. I returned to my seat and the tea on top of the table.“Alpha Lucien has already been informed that you have been found so it is just to escort you back safely that's left.” “Does he hate me?”She almost whispered it. “You will have to ask him yourself.” She heaved, distress In her voice.“I will leave you now and return when the transport is ready. Wake your sons so they can get ready for the trip.”And I left the room for her, going downstairs. The hotel had served good dishes and I wanted to get a taste before we began the journey. Then I had the guard take some up to Emily and her sons. The afternoon sun blazed harshly as we began the trip back to the Kingdom of Alpha Lucien. The twins were in the car with me and their mother, they held their mother tightly and continued to
EMILY'S POV Immediately Tristan ordered that two betas take the boys and the rest covered me, we began to head for the forest. I could hear growls behind me but we were just running too fast to know what went wrong, I didn't care either. The twins were the most important thing to me.We ran further into the forest, with the pace we used, the children almost cried out, but I smashed them immediately signaling them to keep quiet.“Don't cry, we are just escaping okay,” I told Lucas who already looked tired. Liam comported himself immediately. We continued running.Suddenly the enemy started catching up with us, we increased our pace too. I was riding on the back of a beta with the children. I could not shift so that's the only way I could be transported.There were five guards. We ran fast, wolves tearing towards us. Enemies caught up with one of us. He did not return, the others continued to run. Another one was caught immediately. Three Gray wolves bit on his leg and he stop
TRISTAN'S POV We halted immediately, face to face, claws clashed, I and the pup. It was Emily's scream at that moment, if not one of us could have gotten hurt.The boy was glaring at me then he eased up and smiled. “Am sorry. We thought you were that guy,” he pointed at a headless wolf. My eyes are wider. That's a rogue beta and the strongest of their kind.I looked back at the boy. “Who did that?”“Me and my brother but that idiot is bleeding now.” He replied dryly.I raised an eyebrow. Did he just speak plainly of murder?“Sir Tristan please come. He is bleeding out.” I forgot about the killing for now and ran to her.I took the boy from her hands. His clothes were drenched in his blood.“He is going to die at this rate.” I held him closer and silently spoke an incantation.The bleeding stopped.Emily looked at me. I knew what she was thinking. Sorcery was forbidden.“Sometimes it can come in handy,” I replied to her thoughts.“Here hold the boy.” She took him from me. I held
TRISTAN’S POV The woman was talking to me then she looked at Emily and frowned.“Get that woman out of here before I kill her.”My expression soured.“What is your deal with her? She is the … a very important asset of the king. You will just have to swallow whatever you have with her and tend to the boy.”She looked at Emily for the third time.“I will do it but she has to stay away from me.”I glared at her, she looked at me with a plain face. I puffed. “Fine, wait a moment.”I turned and went to Emily. She was looking at me with expectant eyes. I smiled at her.“She will help but she wants everyone to clear out.”Emily looked at me in slight fright.“I can't leave him in the hands of a stranger.” She whispered. “It's just briefly and I will be here. He will be fine just moving away a little. You can leave Liam here too if you want.” She heaved in distress. I tried to open my mouth to say another comforting word, she grabbed me by the collar and pulled my face close. Our nos
TRISTAN'S POV The old wood creaked as I sat on it, next to her. Her eyes were pinned to the floor, hands clasped tightly. Her legs vibrated as she stamped them on the floor.“If there is anyone that can find them is Lucien. We need to go straight to Alpha Lucien's kingdom.”“How could this have happened? I thought you said you were sure of her?” She wasn't looking at me.“I am sure, I just don't know the reason for his sudden actions. Everything seemed okay until she started to talk about having power.” She looks sharply at me.“Oh, it makes sense. Power, she wants the power of the twins.” She rose from the wooden slab. “She wants their power. Oh gods, my children.” She spoke in hysteria.I just stared at her, watching her pace left and right as they crumbled onto the floor, crying and hitting her head.“This is all my fault. I should have been strong enough but I just had to be weak. I should have saved them but I just had to be weak. I hate myself.”I rose and went to her, knel
EMILY'S POV “Emily lookout!” he shouted, I wasn't fast enough. When I finally did, the arrow had gotten to me already. I stared, waiting for it to hit me but at the last minute, he grabbed me and flung me out of the way.The arrow tore into Tristan's arm, blood spilling on me as well. We both landed on the floor.Tristan grew his claws immediately, his eyes searching for the perpetrator. We could hear the sound of men on foot approaching, even I became alert as well. The bushes before us began to shake and the soldier leaped out of it immediately. All draped in the color red and sticking out long fangs. The instant they saw Tristan, they stopped and bowed.I was surprised but he did not move at all.One of the guards rushed out and embraced him. They made familiar pats on the back and then the wolf soldier said.“Sir Tristan please allow us to escort you and have your hand healed. We are deeply sorry for the wounds.”“It's nothing. I am happy in fact, it shows all your trainin
LUCIEN'S POV“For now let's be monitoring those red wolves. If there is any other movement, we will strike then. Let the letter serve as the perfect warning.”“Yes my king,” the general bowed and returned to where he stood.“Any other affair that needs…”“My king, Sir Tristan, has returned.” The announcement interrupted me.I looked up immediately, everyone's eyes following mine. Tristan walking up now before me, a bandage on his left arm.“My king.” He greeted me.“You are finally back. It's been so long.”“Eight years my king. It's been Eight years.”I smiled and got down from my throne, coming close to him. We embraced each other tightly.“You have gotten stronger my king,” he said.“And you have gotten much weaker,” I told him then whispered. “How did it go eventually?”“We found her and the children but we also found trouble along the way.”“Trouble? Wait, Children?” I was both shocked and confused. But I kept a plain face.“We need to discuss this privately, Mr Alpha,” he whispe
LUCIEN POVWe both rose in shock but Emily was faster to yell. “Come in, Sir Tristan.” The door opened and he walked into the room. Immediately he saw us, he bent his head down so as not to look but there was something about the expression on his face before he bent his head and I was not sure what it was but it wasn't the look a soldier should show when he sees his alpha.“Where did you find her?” I asked him.“In the dark wood of Siri. She is being protected by the Men of the rogue wolf king of Siri - Leo Dore. Our scouts reported the movement of Dore's soldiers in his camp. It seems that they are preparing for attack and perhaps they think they will win by taking over the powers of the twins. For them to not have attacked shows they are yielding no fruit yet.I asked the sorcerers here and they said that as long as she has not started the collection of power rituals, the children will not be harmed in any way.”Immediately after he said that I felt the tension leave Emily's body
