ARTHUR'S POV.I stood there, staring at Elsa, who was seated on the bed, looking as surprised as I was. But my anger was directed towards Ursula, who was standing there with a guilty look on her face.My blood boiled with rage as I realized the extent of her deceit. She had deliberately misled me and the rest of the pack, causing us to waste valuable time searching for Elsa when she was safe all along. My jaw clenched as I struggled to contain my fury.I couldn't believe that Ursula, my wife, would betray me and the pack like this. I had always trusted her, but now that trust had been shattered. I could feel the heat rising in my body, my muscles tensing as I fought to control my rage.As I glared at Ursula, she flinched under my intense gaze. She knew she had done wrong, and the guilt was written all over her face. But her remorse was too little, too late. My fury burned hot like wildfire, and nothing she could say or do would quench it.I felt betrayed, humiliated, and furious all a
NIA'S POV.As I walked with Elsa in the garden, I pointed out different types of flowers and told her their names. She was so interested and asked so many questions that it made me smile. It was refreshing to see someone so eager to learn and appreciate the beauty of nature."That's a beautiful rose," I said, pointing to a vibrant red one.Elsa nodded, "Yes, it is. It's my favorite."We stopped by a patch of purple tulips, and I crouched down to get a closer look before picking them. "These are my favorite flowers," I said."Why is that?" Elsa asked, crouching down next to me."I just love the color, and they always remind me of the coming of spring," I replied.We walked around for a while, enjoying the fresh air and the calming atmosphere of the garden. Elsa was a great companion and we talked about everything and nothing. It was like we had known each other for years.When it started getting dark, I suggested that we go back inside. But Elsa refused, saying that she didn't want to
ELSA'S POV. I returned to my room, my back still aching from the previous night's events. I wanted to take a bath and prepare for the day ahead, hoping that things would start to look up. As I drew the bath and waited for it to fill up, I realized that I was still confused about what had happened between me and Savio. I was still scared, yet inexplicably drawn to him. I pushed those thoughts aside for now and decided to focus on getting ready.I stepped outside to grab my clothes, but what I saw next completely shocked me. My mother was sitting on my bed, blood streaming from her eyes. I was taken aback and couldn't believe what I was seeing. I thought I was hallucinating or something. Her eyes were like nothing I had ever seen before. They were completely red as if she had been crying blood. Her skin was ashen, and she looked as if she was on the brink of death.I stumbled backward, my heart racing. I tried to speak, but no words came out. I couldn't even scream. All I could do was
ARTHUR'S POV.I woke up this morning feeling exhausted. My mind and body were drained from the constant politics and responsibilities of being the Lycan King. I knew I had a busy day ahead of me, but I couldn't even find the energy to lift myself off the bed.I lay in bed for a few minutes, trying to gather my thoughts and muster up some strength. I then remembered that I had sent for the diviner to come to see me this morning. I knew I needed his guidance and insight to make the right decisions for my kingdom.As I slowly got up from my bed, I could feel my body protesting each movement. My muscles ached and my bones felt like they were made of lead. I had barely slept the night before, and the stress of the day before was still weighing heavily on me.I made my way to the bathroom, splashed some water on my face, and tried to shake off the tiredness. I knew I had to get ready for the diviner's arrival, but I could barely summon the energy to get dressed.As I put on my royal attire,
I left the dining hall feeling quite relieved. The meal was quite sumptuous, but I could only manage to eat a small portion of it. My thoughts were preoccupied with Elsa and the strange occurrence in her room. I could not wait to get back to my room and sort out my thoughts.As I walked through the hallway, I could feel the coldness of the castle seep into my bones. It was always chilly, but today it felt particularly frigid. I wrapped my fur shawl around me tightly, trying to preserve as much heat as I could.The corridors were empty, and I could hear the echo of my footsteps with each stride. It was almost as if the entire castle was in a state of slumber. The only sounds were the creaking of the doors and the hushed whispers of the guards.I made my way up the spiral staircase that led to my room. The staircase was narrow, and I had to take each step cautiously. At the top, I stopped to catch my breath, leaning against the wall. The castle's height always left me a bit lightheaded,
As the Lycan King, I had always been aware of the power of the Diviners. Their ability to predict the future and see into the unknown was something that had always fascinated me. That was why I had summoned one of the most renowned Diviners in the land to my castle. I wanted answers, and I was determined to get them.The Diviner was a young woman with piercing blue eyes that seemed to look right through me. I had been hopeful when she arrived at the castle, thinking that perhaps she could give me some insight into the unrest that had been brewing among my people. But as we sat together in my chamber, I could feel my disappointment growing by the second."You say there is nothing special about you?" I asked her, my voice laced with disbelief. "That you are just an ordinary woman, carrying my heir?"She nodded, her eyes still fixed on me."I see no reason for you to be scared," she continued. "I only feel a deep sense of responsibility to protect the life that grows within me."Her word
Elsa's POVNia looked at me with a concerned expression, "What's wrong Elsa? Why do you want to leave? You can tell me anything."I tried to speak, but my words came out in a stutter, "I...I... I can't stay here any longer."Nia placed a comforting hand on my shoulder and led me to the bed. "Just take a deep breath and calm down. Tell me what's wrong."I closed my eyes, trying to calm myself down, but I couldn't shake the fear that was gripping me. "I...I'm scared. I can't be here anymore."Nia's embrace didn't do much to ease my fear. Every time I closed my eyes, I could see the Alpha's face, hear his voice, and feel his hands on my skin. The memory of his attempted assault made me shiver with fear."I know it's scary, Elsa, but you don't have to be afraid. The King won't let anything happen to you," Nia said, trying to reassure me.But her words fell on deaf ears. I couldn't help but feel that I was in danger, that something bad was going to happen to me.Nia sat with me for hours,
I was sitting at my desk, going through some paperwork when my secretary walked in and handed me a letter. It was an invitation to the Alpha's meeting. I felt a sudden surge of anger and frustration wash over me. I knew what this meant, another tedious meeting filled with empty words and meaningless posturing.I opened the letter and scanned through it quickly. The meeting was scheduled for tomorrow morning, and all Alphas needed to attend. I sighed deeply, wondering what Ursula had in store for us this time.As I read on, I made a mental note to ensure Elsa's safety before I left. The last thing I needed was for her to be caught up in Ursula's problems. She had already been through enough, and I didn't want her to be dragged into the political games of the Alpha Council.After finishing up some work, I went back to my room and tried to sleep, but my mind was restless. I couldn't shake off the feeling of anger and frustration that had taken hold of me. I tossed and turned in my bed, r
