Leonor pov I am all over the place with my emotions , Orion says he understands and will take it at my pace . I know he's made for me but I can't help that voice in my head . I have mentally schooled myself to be strong , I can't help it with my childhood . Two weeks after my mother had died was the first time my father hurt me, as a five year old who couldn't understand why my mummy wasn't here anymore . I watched as my father grew into a monster after that . I very rarely saw anyone unless it was necessary , my father told everyone i couldn't cope with seeing people . The pack saw him as a doting father , that was so far from the truth . As a child I would pray that the moon goddess would save me and she would hear my prayers . I guess in a way she did , she gave me Jewel early . Once I became a teenager I had started to try to avoid confrontation with him . The last time I saw the man who they called my father was after the worst beating that resulted in me being left for dea
Alpha Prince Orion pov I feel her sway just as her legs go , I call her name but she's out cold . She has fainted , this whole situation has been too much for her . I scoop her up in bridal style and head back inside . I go into one of the down stairs receiving rooms and lay her on a sofa . As I break contact she whimpers in her sleep causing me to sit and place her head on my lap . She instantly takes a deep breath and snuggles into me . Looking up I notice everyone has followed me in . Lex closes the door to give us some privacy , “ So , what's the next step ?” i aime the question at Red . I can tell she's nervous and looks to her mate for reassurance . “ Red , I mean you . You seem to more than I do “ She clears her throat “ All the descendants' powers vary , they are all given the shield . “ When I look at her with a raised brow she continues . “ The shield is what nearly puts you through the wall , eventually she will be able to shield others along with herself “ . I am guess
Unknown pov That dam witch keeps hiding Leonor , but I have my spies . They are in the Royal pack , the place is almost impossible for me to get into . The covens have the place bound tight with magical runes that alert the pack's security . I should have taken her the moment I located her at the fight . I was too curious why the Prince was interested in her. According to my little fly on the wall she is the Prince's fated mate . Well now , isn't that interesting ! I wonder what the price one would pay for their mate or should I say Queen . I think to myself as I sit in an inn, just a few miles from their borders . I heard from the little spie that the princess is also home . Two for one kinda deal , I chuckle to myself making a few in this cesspit drinking hole look at me . Pathetic, the lot of them I flash them a wanting look . Before I finish my drink. Yes i think to myself , yes she can't hide forever our little witch won't be able to cloak her if she's dead . I hate wolve
Alpha Prince Orion pov I take a back seat as I allow Onix to shift . My wolf is over the moon that his mate is strong , some wolves can feel threatened or insulted . Not us , we are so happy. I have always believed that both male and females should be given the choice if they want to train . Unfortunately my mother and father are not of the same mind . That's why I fear for Fallon , I wish that she could defend herself . Lex had started to train her in private but my father was furious with him . My attention is brought back to the present as Jewel nips at Onix’s back legs playfully . She is magnificent , just as Leonor is . I know my mate will always be able to look after herself , she is a warrior pure and simple . I would be proud to have her by my side in any battle . I watched her bring down a man almost as big as I am , and even when he shifted she protected her wolf and did what needed to be done . Our wolves are running and playing. I feel all of my wolf's emotions , love
Leonor pov I walk into the office of my former Alpha and feel nothing but disgust and anger . Unlike the pack that is now in squalor , the people look dirty and hungry . The Alpha’s office is luxurious and well kept . I feel Orion behind me , he places a hand around my waist as he says ‘ Are you ok ? Do you need me to take over ?’ he asks through our link . I lean into him before taking the lead with a deep breath and shake my head . “ Sit please , Alpha Luna “ the old Alpha says to us . While his Luna stands behind him as he sits in his big chair . She keeps staring at me , It's not in a snarl , more like she wants to say something . I find myself cocking a brow at her . “ I am so sorry Luna Leonor , you look so much like your mother . “ I frown at her “ you knew my mum ?” The older Luna wells up with tears as she nods her head and walks around her mate towards me . I notice as the Alpha tries to grab her as she moves towards me . I see him retract his hand as Orion lets out a
Alpha Prince Orion pov I won't lie watching my mate was a serious turn on , she is something else all together . I watch as the two warriors drag Leonor's father away . Something isn't sitting right with me , something the crazy old drunk said , Wait until the darkness finds you , he's coming for you . Thankfully Leonor had already left , I found myself deep in thought when Haggen appeared at my side with a load of paperwork . Pinching the bridge of my nose I asked him “ ok , how bad is it ?” When he doesn't answer straight away I open my eyes and look at him . I have known my beta my whole life , and never has he been lost for words . “ I have sent for reinforcements , It's much worse than you thought . I have also had all higher ranking wolves been taken to the holding cells “ i just nod waiting for him to continue , i can tell there is more . “ The young warrior Luna spoke to , He has come forward with other information “ he takes a deep breath and meets my eye for the first
Leonor pov The journey back to the royal pack was quiet , Orion would check I was ok every now and then but overall he left me to my thoughts . I was grateful he never pushed me and just allowed me to process everything . I knew he could feel the turmoil of emotions , he would just send calm and love everytime they would start to overwhelm me . I knew Lil felt bad. I just didn't have the energy to convince her I didn't blame her . I was trying so hard to keep my aura in check so as not to hurt any of them . We had just crossed the border when I turned to Orion . “ I want to talk with Samantha , Can she and Jess be brought to the castle please? '' he just nods and kisses my forehead “ Of course my love I will link to have them on the floor below us . The doctor will meet us there and the maids will have her room ready .” I snuggle into him and thank him . I feel exhausted all of a sudden and my body feels heavy , the stress of today has finally caught up with me . I must have no
Alpha Prince Orion pov It’s been a month since we were at the midnight pack , the crimes against the pack members are endless . The higher ranking members have been kept in the royal prison until the investigation has been completed . Most of the females we found in the building behind the packhouse have been temporarily housed in the royal pack . The timing of all this couldn't have come at a more stressful time with the missing teens still missing . The only upside is there has been no new kidnapping in the past six weeks . We know that all missing teens are still alive as their pack links to their Alpha and parents have not snapped yet so keeps hopes high . We are still looking but at the moment with everything else going on our resources are stretched to the limits . Haggen and Lilith have been holding stuff together over at the midnight pack , sorting out their books and making sure that the repairs to the pack are underway and hopefully the people can start to heal from the
