Anaiah’s POV
I squint my eyes and urge her to tell me further.
‘The Werebear king is dead and the only surving member of the family is the Princess,’ Samantha’s hands are slightly shaking, so I hold them and she smiles at the gesture, she is seriously so cute.
‘Princess Scarlett is being forced by a wizard to do all this, he imprisoned her and is keeping her people, threatening to kill them if she doesn’t comply,’
My heart revved, and a chill went down my spine. Wizard. So the covens are doing all this? But why? Witches and Wizards are very rare in our domain. They hate shifters because we vanquish the realm, so they avoid any altercation with us and keep to themself.
‘How can a Wizard control a pack of Werebears?’ I ask silently but Samantha heard.
‘Amacus is a very ambitious and dangerous man, Luna,’ So the Wizard is Amacus. ‘ I think he spent time planning this attack because he has rogues on his side and he entered The Pack disguised as another pack leader who wanted an alliance through marriage and when he was denied, he killed …’ Her voice is cracking and more tears run down her face, I wait for her patiently, squeezing her hand for comfort.
‘He killed the king and his male offspring, Silas,’
‘He was her Mate,’ Comes my brother’s voice in my head. I didn’t realize that he was listening to us in a distance, now that I notice even Leon and Arya have their ears perked up to our conversation. They probably didn’t want to make her feel overwhelmed or intimidated.
‘So without the Princess, he can not order the bears,’
She smiles softly, and says ‘ The Werebear pack would rather kill themselves than listen to a stranger who killed their King and Prince,’
‘So Princess Scarlett is trapped under the Wizard, Amacus,’
Samantha nods ‘ He sold her to a brothel at first, but when he discovered the warriors and subjects won’t listen to him, he got her back to use as a puppet,’
A growl erupts from my brother and I turn to him, he looks like he is about to murder someone with his clutched fists and red eyes that are ablaze with anger. Samantha moves closer to me and I hold her, guiding her to get some food.
‘Thank you, for everything you are doing, Luna,’
The woman who spoke earlier approached me, her name is Imari of the West wood pack. I smile and she nod, the male next to him is quiet, I wonder if he can’t speak.
It was already midnight and we were all tired so we worked quickly to get done,
‘Hello Everyone, long time no see…’
Oh someone kill me now.
I slowly turn around and come face to face with the woman I loathe. Alaiah is smiling proudly, wearing a cowboy outfit, her long hair is flawless, and by her side was an Asian male with ash hair and grey eyes, he has a chiseled frame and from the confident aura he exuded, I can tell he is a beta by rank.
The woman saunters forward confidently and goes to my mate, I roll my eyes when she bows or curtsey like some princess, and both me and the man she is with let out a possessive growl. So, the bitch finally found her mate.
The man comes to me while Alaiah speaks to Leondre, I am surprised she is keeping her distance.
‘Hello, you must be Queen Anaiah,’ The man has a gentle voice. I nod.
‘I’m Ashton, a beta of a pack in south Asia. I’ve heard about you from my mate, Alaiah.’ He stretches out his hand and I greet him politely.
‘Pleasure. Not so pleasant things, I believe,’
Ashton chuckles and shakes his head ‘ You’re right, I’m afraid but I believe she was just blinded,’ He points at the king who is seriously talking to Alaiah.
We go to our significant others. Leondre kisses my temple and Alaiah sneers, she was about to say something but her mate nudges her.
‘Must I, baby boo?’ She pouts, Ashton nods firmly and her eyes snap to me
‘I’m sorry,’
‘Say it like you are,’
‘Baby boooo,’ She stomps her feet like a child. It’s entertaining to watch. Exhaling, the Alpha’s daughter looks at me sternly
‘Queen Anaiah, I’m sorry for the trouble I caused you and I’m more sorry for insulting you but to be honest it was the opposite, and you-‘
‘Boo,’ Ashton warns.
‘Forgive me, Luna Queen and I hope we can work today on a project soon, I have been following your work through the months and I’m inspired,’
Wow. After a short while, I nod and smile
‘It’s alright. I forgive you,’ I tell her earnestly and she smiles, her mate kisses her head and asks;
‘We came to help, please tell us what we can do. We came with a truck of clothes and shoes,’
‘Thank you,’ I smile.
‘Gosh, my immaculate mate brings out the best in me,’ Alaiah sighs, smiling at him. It’s good that she found her forever and won’t go after mine anymore. I grab Leon’s hand.
We finished setting up after 02 am.
‘Everyone, job well done today, we’ll go to rest and continue tomorrow,’
We went back to our homes. As soon as we reached our room, my mate lifts me and twirls me, kissing my lips.
‘You did well today, I’m proud of you,’ He praises.
‘I’m proud of us,’ I kiss his forehead quickly.
And that was all about my birthday. I knew that the following weeks will be the busiest. I put my head on my mate’s chest and close my eyes, a smile forms on my lips as his scent surround me.
‘Mine,’
