109Maximus POV.I stood there, adrenaline pumping through my veins as I stared at Melezo and Felicity lying on the bed. Melezo, the man who had almost killed me, and Felicity, the woman he had taken from me by force.Indeed I was not dead, have you ever seen the main actor die in his own film? No isn't it? So why was I dead? Marcus had the idea that I lie about my death, that I fake it , after the explosion, I had been seriously injured and Marcus had treated me alone , all this , so that i'll be able to kill Melezo, the real one and not a copy as usual. We had stubbornly left the coffin empty, Marcus had taken care of everything, no one had to know for the plan to work well, not even Felicity .I approached closer to the bed and I watched as Felicity's eyes widened in shock at the sight of me, clearly thinking I was dead. I gestured for her to be quiet, not wanting to alert Melezo to my presence just yet.As I moved closer, I could see the fear in Melezo's eyes when he finally rea
Epilogue:Eight years later, The room erupted in applause as Maximus announced the newly voted members of League of Justice. I couldn't help but feel proud of him as he confidently named each member.After the ceremony, Ava and Kim approached me, their cheeks were flushed with excitement and their smiles wide."Ava, tell me, how did Maximus do?" I asked, eager to hear their thoughts."He did an amazing job!" Ava answered, her voice brimming with enthusiasm. "I'm so proud of him.""I agree," added Kim. "He really isn't a dictator like some people thought he would be. He's smart, he chose to only have 50% of the power as king and left the other 50% to the League of Justice."Maximus really had outdone himself, building a new center for LOJ and bringing all the territories of the other alphas and his own together in one, calling it Bloodwood MaFe. As Ava left to attend to her fiancé Kyle, whom she had been through a lot with but still remained by his side, two years engaged and five ye
As I sit here in the back of the carriage, my heart racing with fear and uncertainty, I can't help but wonder what my future holds. My step-father, Mr. Anderson, had sold me off to the Alpha King like a piece of meat to be used for his own pleasure.My parents had died in an accident when I was only 6 and I was adopted by this despicable guy. "You could at least act happy," Mr. Anderson sneers at me. "Happy to be sold off like a piece of property?" I can't help but roll my eyes at his words. After all, I was just a commodity to be bought and sold to the highest bidder.Mr. Anderson shrugged. "Look at the bright side. Once you give the Alpha King a son, he'll release you from your duties. You are no longer a child, you are a woman, you are 22 years old.""Duties?" I scoffed. "You mean I'm nothing more than a glorified breeder for him? How could you do this to me?""That's life, dear," Mr. Anderson said casually. "You should be grateful that I found a good deal for you. Not many peop
Chapter 2:Trapped with the Cruel Alpha King The door slammed behind him, leaving me alone in the dimly-lit room with nothing but the shattered vial and an empty feeling inside her. I didn't know what was going to happen to me, but i knew i couldn't stay here with a man as cruel and heartless as Maximus Blackwood. Moving slowly, i hobbled out of the laboratory and back to my room, my mind reeling from the shock of what had just happened. Alone in the silence of my chamber, I made a decision: I had to escape.When the sun rose the next morning, i knew that i had to escape. I looked around my room, contemplating my options. I knew that i would have to be quick, silent, and leave as little of a trace as I could. I needed to go somewhere where Maximus couldn't find me. Suddenly, a knock at my door jolted me back to my senses. "Mrs. Blackwood?" It was Marcus. "Are you in there? The Alpha King wishes to see you. It's urgent." I frantically searched my room, trying to think of
The next morning,I got up, taking a deep breath, and headed to the bathroom to wash my face. As I looked into the mirror, I saw a different reflection staring back at me. I was no longer the naive girl who had been sold off to the Alpha King. I was Felicity Blackwood, Maximus' wife, and I had to start acting like it.I put on a brave face and made my way down to the dining hall, where the rest of the pack had already gathered. Marcus greeted me with a "Good morning, Mrs. Blackwood.""Good morning, Marcus," I replied, trying to be polite.As I sat down at the table, I could feel the eyes of the other pack members on me. They were all waiting for me to produce an heir, to secure Maximus' place as the Alpha King."What's on the agenda for today?" I asked, trying to distract myself from my thoughts.Maximus looked up from his plate. "We have some pack business to attend to. You'll be accompanying me."I tried to hide my fear, but it must have shown on my face because Maximus frowned."Is
As I walked through the palace halls, I felt a sense of dread wash over me. It seemed like everyone was talking about me and my inability to produce an heir.I knew that Maximus was feeling the pressure too, but I couldn't help feeling like it was all my fault. I can't tell him the truth.As I entered my chambers, I felt a wave of relief wash over me. I needed some time to myself to think.But my peace was short-lived. As I was sitting on my bed, I heard a knock on the door."Who is it?" I asked, feeling a sense of unease."It's Titus," came the reply.I hesitated for a moment, wondering if I should let him in. But before I could make a decision, he barged in."Hello, my dear," he said, his voice dripping with sarcasm."What do you want, Titus?" I asked, trying to keep my voice steady."I just wanted to see how the queen is doing," he said, his eyes roving over my body.I felt a surge of anger. How dare he speak to me like that?"I'm fine," I said, trying to keep my voice even.Titus
Chapter 5: Maximus's pov.I watched helplessly as Felicity ran out of the room, her footsteps echoing in the silence. I clenched my fists, seething with anger and frustration. How dare she disobey me and leave like that? I had warned her of the consequences, but she still chose to defy me."Stop!" I yelled, my voice echoing through the empty room. But she didn't look back, didn't even slow down. I felt a surge of anger rise within me. How could she be so foolish? Didn't she realize the danger she was putting herself ?As i stepped out into the night, the full moon casting an eerie glow on everything around me.I bared my teeth in frustration. I had to find her, and fast. I couldn't let her escape my grasp, I have to find her and punish her.My mind raced as i thought about where she could have gone. I knew the pack territory like the back of my hand, but Felicity was always full of surprises. I couldn't let my guard down for a second."Bring her back here and alive!" I roared to m
My mind raced with fear, anger, and sadness as I ran through the woods, trying to escape from Maximus and his servants. The forest was dense, and I had to dodge trees and branches as I ran. My heart pounded in my chest, and my breaths came in short gasps.Suddenly, I heard footsteps and voices I spotted a small cave up ahead and made a beeline for it. "Where did she go?" asked one of the servants."I don't know," replied another. "But we need to find her before she gets too far.""Spread out and find her, she couldn't get far!" Ordered the first servant.Panic set in as I realized they were getting closer. I spotted a small cave up ahead and made a beeline for it.As I climbed inside, I held my breath and hoped that they wouldn't find me. But then I heard someone entering the cave.I closed my eyes, trying to stay calm, as I heard the sound of someone breathing. It was so close, I could feel the warmth of their breath on my skin. I clutched my fists, ready to fight if necessary."
