King Death angrily scoffed before he gave my Beta a glare. My Beta was still in her calm demeanor, taking a heavy breath when her eyes flickered while looking at him. Surprisingly, I quickly hid from the wall when my beta’s eyes turned gold. “What are you doing, Your Majesty?” My Beta asked and sounded calmer, while King Death seemed like he was about to throw his anger at her. I didn’t know what their connections were, but based on what I noticed, they had known each other from the start. I remembered how my Beta reacted when I told her I would send an invitation to another King of the Lycans because my target was to bring peace to different communities like mine. “What the fuck are you doing here? All this time, you’re hiding here!” he growled. “I don’t stay here for so long. I became the beta of Alpha Ashianna in not even a year. I thought you promised Alpha Ashianna, you won’t ever hurt me. “Yeah, you know what I can do to bring honor to my words, but I don’t promise her I wo
“Why are you breaking my heart, my daughter?” My mother continued sobbing despite my attempt to stop her. Her embrace tightened as if she were so scared to lose me again. I felt guilty for making her cry, especially since she was pregnant.“I know you won't ever die because of this war. This is why I want to have a simple life; this is your father's fault!” She shrieked, stomping her feet like a child, before she wept again.Biting my lower lip, I felt bad for my father because my mother continued to blame him for being the son of the Alpha King. I didn't know if I would agree with her or not. I wish I had a simple life, too. Unbeknownst to me, I had to be a role model to obey the rules of the pack.“Mom, stop crying. This isn't Dad's fault. I know he wants to have a simple family, too, yet he doesn't have anyone he can pass the throne to." I whispered in her ear, hushing her to calm down, but she only hailed.“What is happening here? Why is my wife crying?” Stunned when I heard my
My mother was stunned because of the sudden news. Her tears streamed in her eyes as she swallowed hard, trying to stop herself from thinking that the dead body might be my father. As her eyes flickered, her tears flowed down her cheeks.I was in panic as I rushed into the middle of the forest to check who it was and became dumbfounded when I saw a man who had the same clothes as my father lying in the forest. My hands started shaking as I strolled closer to the corpse, but the warriors stopped me."Alpha Ashianna, we can't allow you to touch the dead body. We need to make sure that the evidence won't be fabricated." He uttered it and gave me a sympathetic look.I took a deep breath, so I nodded my head because they were only doing this work. The man had the same figure as my father, but his face was physically ruined. I stepped back when I noticed how swollen his face was, and my hand covered my mouth as I saw the tattoo on his neck.His tattoo was the same as what my father had. I wa
“I know how upset you are because of the news of the dead body in the middle of the forest.” He started after the long silence between us. "I can't imagine how difficult this must be for you.”“What do you mean? Are you trying to tell me it's Dad? I don't think he's the I was shrieking in pain when he cleared his throat and interrupted me from talking. My heart started to beat fast, and I couldn't breathe properly because of the pain I had in my chest.“Alpha Ashianna, I don't want to scare you by thinking it's the late Alpha. The truth is, I received a letter today. I think this is connected to the corpse we have found.” He leaked as he gave me the small note from his pocket. He looked around to check if there might be someone watching him before he signaled for me to take the paper.“I think there's a spy here. They want to see that you're in mourning because you lost your father. I know it sounds insane, but we're trying to search for whoever wrote this letter,” he added. I quickly
My mother's sob echoed in the pack while the members started grieving for my father—the man's corpse in front of me. She hugged the man's body and screamed so hard that I almost believed that she was such a great actress. I didn't know that my mother had a talent for acting. I was so drawn to her acting that I almost forgot that Dad was still alive.My Beta rushed towards her before she gave her a napkin to widen her tears. Mom immediately accepted it, and I noticed her eyes were bloodshot and puffy.I watched how the corpse was burned because of the procedure. My mother started weeping, like she was about to lose her mind. She yelled at the corpse, like she didn't want to be left behind. Despite how much I wanted to stop her, I couldn't do it, especially when we knew that the spy was around us.The funeral ceremony was too fast. I was crying silently, not because of my father but because of how long I needed to endure just to make sure I would be finally happy with King Edward. I wan
“King Edward, what are you doing here?” I asked when I saw him flashing his evil grin at me. He strolled forward closer to me before he wrapped his hand around my waist. A gasp came out of my lips when the sparks continued rushing out of my body. Seeing how he gave me a look made me swallow as I noticed how he looked at me with desire.His eyes were filled with a hunger that sent shivers down my spine, and I couldn't help but feel a mixture of fear and excitement at his intense gaze. King Edward licked his lower lip, causing me to feel the tension in my chest.“I don't have the chance to comfort my wife. I don't like it when they're hugging you. Luckily, we're already married.” King Edward said. I could sense the possessiveness in his tone, making me realize the extent of his jealousy. It was both flattering and unsettling to see him react so strongly to another man's touch.“Your Majesty, you don't need to be jealous because you're the only one for me. Did you forget I'm pregnant wit
I didn't know if my mother was telling me the truth because I thought Alpha Gunner wasn't the man who would fight with Alpha James because of so much jealousy. However, I was wrong because he fought with Alpha James like my mother had insisted on me.I didn't know about what happened after I left, but what makes me so sure is that Alpha Gunner would do anything to remove Alpha James from his path. He might be thinking of eliminating him, and I would be thankful if he would do that for my sake.However, I couldn't shake off the feeling of unease knowing that Alpha Gunner was capable of such violence. I hoped that my mother was wrong about his intentions towards Alpha James.“I can't believe he will punch his face. Seriously, Alpha Gunner is the man who always gives importance to his image. Alpha James punched back. I can't believe that my daughter has long hair and lined up suitors,” she exclaimed, as if she didn't cry so hard at the fake body of my father.As I smacked my forehead, sh
"Still, I don't want you to give that land away for free. You know I don't want to accept a free gift because I think it's better if I work hard for it." Adeline didn't want to stop. We ended up rushing towards the land I was planning to give her. Her facial expression was crumpled, causing me to think that it might be so hard for her to accept my generous offer."Adelina, I know I can put my trust in you. I'm reassuring you that I value your work and believe you have earned it. Alright, let's stop this discussion because I consider it a reward for helping me when I need assistance. You don't think twice about helping me, despite knowing that these groups of assassinations are your friends or considered family." I explained it to her."Alright, I will stop right now. However, I want to express how thankful I am for your appreciation gift for me. If you know, this is a big help to my family." I could see tears welling up in her eyes as she thanked me profusely for the recognition.It w
