(Doris' POV)“Does the elders have anything to say to what the future King had said?” I asked in a low and threatening growl.They all shook their heads.“We are fine with whomever the King has chosen.” The leader said with his head slightly bowed toward Xavier.The others too did the same, except Barron, who stormed out of the conference room in anger. I waved at the Reapers to let him go while I laughed to my heart's content.“I'm sorry I couldn't meet you at the borderline.” Xavier turned to me and said after Barron left.“It's fine, I know you also have duties to attend to.” A smile spread on my face.“We would take our leave then.” One of the elders said, and they exited the room.“We should go home too,” I said to Xavier with my arms wrapped around his neck.He gently placed his hand on my waist and responded, “Sure.”I turned to the Reapers, who were still waiting for my instruction.“You all should rest, too. We all deserve it.” I said, my voice filled with pride of how we fou
(Doris' POV)The next morning, I groggily opened my eyes. The day was fast spent, yet I was just waking up.I stretched my hand to the other side of the bed with my eyes still sleepy and half opened, but couldn't feel Xavier. I quickly opened my eyes and realized he wasn't on the bed with me and sat up.Suddenly, the door opened, gasping my attention. And there he was, holding a tray of meal, approaching the bed.“Good morning, sunshine.” He said in a sing-song tone, placed the tray on the bed and kissed me on the forehead.“Good morning to you too. What a pleasant surprise,” I smiled and sniffed in the aroma of the meal.I shut my eyes slightly for a minute and was mesmerized by it.“This better be nice.” I said and proceeded to take a bite.“How is it?” He asked when I chewed halfway, but my face turned into a frown and glared coldly at him.“Did you make this yourself?”“Yes, why? What's wrong?” He queried in a low tone, his eyes darting from the meal back to me.“It's amazing!” I
(Doris' POV)"Doris! We will soon be freed from this hell!" a familiar yet reassuring voice sounded. Shana, my wolf has finally woken up again after two years.The voice soothed me. For the past two years, my freedom has been in shackles. Locked up or even buried, I had been living the life of an adult without the liberation that comes with being one.I stood in front of a pile of unprocessed ingredients, afraid to make any move, fearing that this, like countless dreams before, would turn into nothing but popping bubbles and disappear when daylight arrived.But Shana's voice became clear once again, and she encouraged me, saying, "Not to worry, Doris. I really have come back, and this time I will fight alongside you! I can't wait to sink my claws into those bastards' throats!"That soothing yet familiar voice resonated through my vague consciousness and I believed in it. However, the harsh voice that pierced through my dream pulled me back to reality."Get your head out of your fantas
(Doris' POV)My wolf jumped in excitement while I hurried to lift his chin up as he met my gaze. "Tell me, where's he?"His lips parted but as his gaze lingered over me, he paused."Where's he?" I repeated, frowning in impatience. I didn't find any news of him for a year already, and now, I just wanted to find him and cuddle him hard.He exhaled deeply, lowering his gaze while he stuttered, "He is in the hospital now…" he paused before he continued again, "He-he is with Alpha Liddell.""Alpha Liddell?" I questioned, interrupting him as I raised my brows up. "Why is he with him?" He bit his lips, and silence followed for a moment when I hurried him. "Come on, tell me!"He frowned, glancing at me worriedly. "He was expelled from the pack by your grandfather, Alpha Harry of the Silver Fang Wolf Pack! And when he was on the run, he was captured by Liddell as Sofia's blood bank! Moreover, Liddell considers this their best third anniversary gift!"My grandfather? Alpha Harry? Just the thoug
(Doris' POV)"S-sister…" Philly winced, as he forced himself to look up when he wrapped his arms around me. "Sister, you are here." He stuttered, tears dripping down his cheeks when he started crying loudly while gripping onto me tightly. "I missed you so much, sister. I missed you so much."I caressed his hair as I nodded. "I missed you too. I missed you a lot, Philly.""Sister…" he moaned as he continued to cry louder while I patted him. After a few minutes, he finally paused, crying, and glanced at me intently. "It was such a hard year without you." He gulped, snorting."Don't worry, don't cry. Sister is here, sister is here. I'll take care of you, and pay back those bastards for what they did to you."He nodded, hugging me by my waist while I smiled and looked at him worriedly.Being my brother, the War Goddess' brother, he had always acted strong and brave but he was just a child and under the wings of our protection. He is a sensitive child with a fragile mind. Who knows what he
(Doris' POV)I laughed at the sight of him, looking at me in fear. "Please, Doris, don't do this to me. Tell them to back off," Liddell kept pleading as Mark and Erbort moved closer and cornered him."H-how... when did you get this much power all of a sudden? You were always weak." Liddell squeezed his brows in confusion and stuttered in fear.I laughed again, looking at him cornered by Mark and Erbort in a humiliating position. His expression sent a pleasurable sensation within me. He felt so useless and unable to move."I know you are weak, you don't even possess a little power or control over anyone. You're just an orphan. How come you have these two strong werewolf fighters in your control doing your wishes?" He parted his lips and looked up at the two tall figures who would finish him off with just an order from me, and his face turned pale."It seems there are a lot of questions rambling in your head right now, Liddell..." I paused as I took a step closer. "Any more questions?"
(Doris' POV)It was silent for a few seconds after I had rejected and refused Liddell, digesting wholeheartedly the shock and despair lingering on his face."It's Doris, the Goddess of War. Doris has risen!" The doctor whom I had knocked out previously yelled out after hearing my words of rejection to an Alpha.He staggered to his feet and in fear, attempted to flee out of the ward, and perhaps out of the hospital to tell the world what he saw and witnessed."Forgive me, Warlord, for my previous actions. I do not wish to provoke you into anger." He bowed multiple times, trembling in fear, not waiting for my response as he made his way to the doorway to leave.I glanced at Mark, who had been watching him speak in cowardice, unlike a few moments ago when his voice sparked bravely and commanded control over an assumed weak Omega, clenching his fists in annoyance, ready to pounce on him."And where do you think you are going?" Mark pulled the doctor back with a heavy, jaw-breaking punch,
(Doris' POV)Mark and Erbort followed my orders, and continued to draw Liddell's blood, enough to donate this blood to five persons and was already getting injected into Sofia. She was taken to the other ward away from Liddell and was looking all feeble and fragile."Doris! Have you gone mad? How dare you do this?!" Sofia, who had been lying weakly on the bed, shot up with a glare. "Liddell's uncle will soon find out what has happened here! You must be ignorant of his abilities to be so foolish as to act against us like this!"I raised my brows in wonders, watching her sudden drama. Was she not meant to be weak or ill? Was this a normal behavior for someone who's considered ill? Where did she gain the strength to scream?It seems they simply want to toy with Philly! These two venomous snakes!"Is anyone there? I need help!" she screamed, struggling to free her hands tied to the bedstand. "Help! Someone should get me out of here, someone should get me away from this woman!" She kept sh
