  LEAHI sat in my chambers, my anger and frustration simmering just below the surface. I couldn't believe that Ava was alive and back, and that Cane was so taken with her. I had thought that I had finally won, that I had finally secured my place in Cane's heart. But now, it seemed like everything was being threatened.I sent for Alex, my messenger hurrying off to fetch him. I paced back and forth in my room, my mind racing with thoughts of Ava and Cane. How could he be so blind to her charms? Didn't he see that she was manipulating him, using her wiles to get what she wanted? Now she was a fucking princess.Alex arrived, his face flushed with exertion. "You sent it to me?" he asked, his voice hesitant.I nodded, my eyes narrowing. "You saw her too, didn't you?" I asked, my voice low.Alex nodded, his eyes darting back and forth. "Yes, I saw her," he said. "I'm not sure what happened, but she seemed...different."I raised an eyebrow, my anger simmering just below the surface. "Differe

  CANEI stood before the gathered elders and counsel members, Ava by my side. I asked her to share her experience in the Black Moon pack, and she nodded, her eyes shining with confidence."They were good to me," she began, her voice clear and strong. "I went there to find my identity, and I discovered that I'm the princess of the pack."The room fell silent, with gasps and whispers erupting from the crowd. My father's face turned red with anger, and Leah's eyes seemed to bore holes into Ava's skin. But Ava didn't flinch, her gaze steady and calm."The Alpha himself sent gifts and messages of peace," she continued. "He's willing to put the past behind us and forge a new alliance between our packs."I watched as Ava presented her case, her words painting a picture of a potential future where our packs could work together, strong and united. She spoke of the benefits of an alliance, of the strength and security it would bring.As she spoke, I couldn't help but feel a sense of pride and a

  CANEI stood tall, surveying the scene before me. Despite the commotion that had just occurred, I was determined to keep the party going. I wasn't going to let anyone ruin our celebration."The party will continue," I declared, my voice loud and clear. "We'll show our guests that we're a pack that can handle unexpected situations with dignity and strength."My father approached me, his face twisted in anger and concern. "What are you doing, Cane?" he asked, his voice low and urgent. "We should arrest the Black Moon warriors immediately. They're a threat to our pack's safety."I stood my ground, meeting my father's gaze. "I'm the Alpha, Father," I reminded him. "And I make the decisions for the good of the pack. The warriors have done nothing to warrant arrest. They're our guests, and we'll treat them with respect and hospitality."My father's eyes narrowed, and I could see the hurt and disappointment in them. But I was sure that I had made the right decision. The Black Moon warriors

  CANEI stood on the stage, surveying the crowd of people gathered before me. The moon was full overhead, casting a silver glow over the festivities. I raised my hands, and the crowd quieted, awaiting my words."Welcome, everyone," I said, my voice booming across the grounds. "Tonight, we gather to celebrate the full moon, and to honor the traditions of our pack."The crowd cheered, and I smiled, feeling a sense of pride and belonging. I continued, my voice rising and falling as I spoke of the importance of our pack, and the bonds that held us together.As I finished my speech, I nodded to Luna, who stepped forward with a smile. "And now, as is our custom, Luna will give her dance for the ritual," he said, gesturing to her.The crowd erupted into cheers and applause as Luna began to dance. Her movements were fluid and sensual, her body swaying to the rhythm of the music. I watched, mesmerized, feeling a sense of pride and admiration for our Luna.As the dance came to an end, the crowd

  CANEI sat in my room, staring blankly at the wall as the weight of my worries bore down on me. It had been days since Ava and the others had left for the Black Moon Pack, and I couldn't shake off the feeling of unease that had been growing inside me.The silence was oppressive, punctuated only by the soft rustle of Marcus's movements as he entered the room with my attire for the festival. He placed the clothes on the bed, his eyes meeting mine with a gentle understanding.I didn't notice him at first, I was too lost in my thoughts. But as I felt his gaze on me, I turned to him, my eyes searching for reassurance. Marcus's expression was calm, but I could sense a hint of concern behind his usual stoic demeanor."Alpha, are you alright?" he asked softly, his voice barely above a whisper.I sighed, running a hand through my hair. "Ken, what if I made a mistake sending them alone?" I asked, my voice laced with doubt. "What if I led them to their death?"The thought alone sent a shiver

  AVAAs I left the dungeon, I couldn't shake off the feeling of sadness that had settled in my heart. I felt like I was walking around in a daze, unable to think or feel anything else. The thought of Jake and the others locked up in the dungeon, awaiting their fate, was too much to bear.I refused to eat or do anything, despite the pleas of the maids assigned to me. They tried to coax me into eating, but I just shook my head, unable to muster up the energy to even lift a spoon.Derek came to my chambers, looking concerned and worried. "Ava, please eat something," he said, his voice gentle. "You're not going to make yourself feel better by starving yourself."I looked up at him, my eyes welling up with tears. "I don't care about eating," I said, my voice shaking. "I just want my people to be safe. Please, Derek, don't kill them. They thought I was in trouble and wanted to free me."Derek's expression softened, and he sat down next to me on the bed. "Ava, I promise you, I won't kill th
