Muriel’s PovThe tension in the palace has not died down and everyone in the palace started treating me like an egg after the incident. I do not really enjoy it because I can not move around like I want to and it makes me really uneasy. Although, I normally do not go anywhere but it is worse now. I was in the kitchen with the chef preparing some dishes. I decided to help out today because I felt like Lucian was kinda in a good mood today because he did not force me to be there."I never knew you enjoyed cooking this much, my queen." The chef said with all smiles and I snorted."Look, I actually enjoy it. It is not something you force me to do.""The king does not feel that way, you know.""Exactly! It is so annoying.""Rumors have been going on in the palace, my queen.""Rumors? What rumors?" I asked with my eyes popped out. This is the first time I am hearing something like this.""Well…""Hey, you. You will annoy me if you don't talk now." I threatened. Actually, I just wanted to
Lucian's PovThe meeting was not yielding any result so when Muriel left, I followed her quietly leaving the elders to debate on their chosen topic. She entered her room and I waited for her to come out but she did not. So, I opened the door and saw her holding a paper. This was strange. The Muriel that I know will scream immediately. I stepped into her room but she did not. Was it that she did not notice my presence? I could see that she was lost in thought and I stepped closer to her but she did not turn to see who it was."Muriel." I called gently and she turned, looking at me with confusion written all over her face. She was still holding that paper and I am curious to know what was written in it."Why are you with that paper? What is in it?" I asked, reaching for the paper and she hid it behind her back. I was surprised at her action and at the same time more inquisitive to know what is in it."Are you not going to show me? or is it some love letter written to you by a male admi
Muriel's PovThe weather today felt nice but what pained me is that I can not move about freely. I really wish I had that opportunity, I would have been out in the woods enjoying the afternoon. But Lucian! Today has been so boring and I haven't talked to Lucian for a very long time. The only time we saw each other was when we had breakfast. After that, he disappeared. I guess, palace business. He doesn't really involve me in it so I am just here.I heard a knock on my door and I immediately adjusted myself. "Come in." I shouted and the door opened revealing a tall slender lady with broken wavy hair. She was dressed in flashy clothes and she looked like someone with a good fashion sense."Good day, your highness." She said bowing down. I became confused. Wait, did she just call me your highness? Weird."I am Muriel. Cut off those titles." I snapped."I didn't mean to get you annoyed.""Why are you here? Who are you?""I am in charge of your wardrobe, Muriel. We are about to go shopp
Lucian’s PovWe were back from the priestess place and Muriel has not uttered a word to me. She does not feel sorry for disobeying me and I will do everything within my power to punish her for what she has done. She sat opposite me in the palace and tried avoiding every eye contact with me."Are you going to pretend nothing is wrong with what you did?" I asked."I already apologized, Lucian. What else am I supposed to do again? Kill myself?" "I would have slapped the hell out of you right now.""You don't have the right to slap your mate.""Oh yes, I do and I am going to do that when any nonsense comes out of your mouth. If I had known, I would have let you get killed.""How did you know we were in danger?""I was contacted and I was really angry because you flaunted my order, you this Omega!""I did not know who those people were and I do not know why they are after me.""They are after this pack. Maybe you possess something great. What is it?""Something great?" She laughed. "I am
Muriel’s Pov.I had gotten myself into deep shit, if I had known beforehand that this is what the garden is... I would have trailed Lucian the instant he was leaving.But how did he manage to get out without going in circles like me? Okay now that's one dumb question!! He was the Alpha and had lived here all his life so why wouldn't he be acquainted with his surroundings.Or did he bring me here to abandon me?Different answers kept running through my mind."Luna!!." I suddenly heard someone call out frantically and a ray of hope flashed in my eyes.Maybe correcting this guard that I'm only a breeder not their Luna would be better. But that isn't necessary now."Who's there?" I asked hoping the person would be able to trail my voice."It's me, Lucian." The person responded."Oh goodness! Thanks to the goddess that you're here. How do I get out of here?" I asked Lucian my guard while I walked towards the direction I presumed his voice was coming from."Luna, you just have to stay w
*Apocrypha*~The reigns of Alpha Vixen; Unknown clan~The news reached the palace where the Omega's rule got the king of apocrypha panicking. King Omega Xander Harish could not stop thinking about their failed plan. His special adviser is with him and he has no choice but to receive all the angry bants of Omega Xander. The atmosphere is so tensed up and one can hardly come inside the palace without feeling the heat."You all are useless! How could you?" He shouted and the walls of the palace shook. His eyes shot out as his hands clenched into fists."My Lord, you should at least commmend our effort. It was not easy and it is not our fault the plan did not pull through.""You are a Fool! A very big fool! Are you telling me it is not your fault? Oh, I should start commending your irresponsible act.""That was not what I meant. Things do not always go as planned.""You better shut it before I lose it. It would have gone well if not of…" Before he could finish his sentence, the special ad
**Unknown Pov**After hearing the plans of Alpha Vixen and his special adviser, I went back to the back of the palace and scaled the wall.It was no longer a new thing because I had gotten used to this, In Fact this was now my usual route and it didn't even take up to five minutes for me to scale the wall.Landing on the outside of the pack, I pulled off my clothes and shifted to my wolf form. Grabbing my clothes with my fangs, I sprinted as fast as my paws could carry me.Enjoying the cool breeze of nature hitting my skin, the trees, the forest, the chirping of birds, the picturesque view.Everything was just perfect and my wolf wouldn't stop running, enjoying the sprint more than ever.I had to report to Alpha Alaric and get back here so I wouldn't miss any vital information.Yes, Alaric is an Alpha.Most things are hard to believe, most things are impossible to understand until you eventually stumble upon them.My life as a rogue had been messed up until Alpha Alaric picked me up a
Harlow’s PovThis was my greatest fear, losing someone so dear to me.My whole world ceased.I didn't know how to react as I watched Alaric fall down with blood dripping down from his mouth.Everything happened so fast and it got me shocked and immobile for a few seconds.I ran towards Alaric but didn't notice that he was preparing to knock me down too until Marc intervened.Son of a bitch.I feel he's just a maniac, he's the cause of all these things happening."Alaric, open your eyes." I sobbed holding Alaric as carefully as I could."Why did you go back to fight him? Why didn't you ignore him? Fool...Now what do you expect me to do?" I cried out in pain.Meanwhile Marc and Tobais were already in a fierce war but I couldn't care less as my priority now is to make sure that Alaric is okay."Pumpkin,you don't have to bother about me, I'd be fine..." He said and winced in pain."Shut up, you still have the strength to talk even in this kind of situation!" I scolded and he only chuckle
