Chapter: CHAPTER FIVEThe last howl faded into the darkness as quickly as it had started like someone had shut it up.I didn't wait to see if another beast was coming. I picked myself up with what strength I had left in me,and walked.Until the forest opened into a wide clearing surrounded by jagged mountains.There it was just like it was described in the old story that had been passed down generations.A dark gate, carved into the side of the mountain, wrapped in black vines that pulsed like veins. Two massive stone statues flanked it, creatures with wings, horns, and hollow eyes that seemed to follow my every move.I was in the Lycan King's territory.A growl rumbled from the shadows.I dropped to my knees, hands in the dirt. "Please," I whispered. "I'm not here to fight."From behind one of the statues, a towering figure stepped forward.He wore dark armor streaked with mud and blood, and his face was hidden beneath a silver wolf mask.A guardian."You shouldn't be here," he said, his voice like grave

Chapter: CHAPTER FOURThe iron door creaked open.I didn’t move better still I couldn’t. My wrists ached from being shackled all night and my back ached from sleeping on the cold stone floor.“Get up.”The gruff voice of the guard echoed into the damp dungeon. I didn’t recognize him not that it mattered. Alot of things didn't matter to me any more “What now?” I muttered, forcing myself up on shaky legs. “Another round of beatings?”I said already preparing myself for the worst.He didn’t answer. Just unlocked the chains with a loud clink and yanked me to my feet.“They want to see you.”“They?” My voice cracked.“The Council.I flinched at the word. The council of Elders. The men who sentenced me to rot in this pit.The walk through the corridors was filled with silence, save for the occasional jeer from guards.“Still alive, wolf-less freak?”“I wish I was allowed to torture her, she'd have been begging for death by now ““Why would she curse him, he was such a lovely person ”That’s why she didn’t shi

Chapter: CHAPTER THREE “Get her away from him!” someone roared.Hands pulled me back so hard I hit the ground, knees scraping raw. I screamed, reaching for Dorian but he was already surrounded. Warriors pushed me aside like filth, like I was the toxin tearing through his veins.“Dorian!” I cried, trying to crawl back, but a boot slammed into my stomach, knocking the wind out of me.“Restrain her!”I was bundled up roughly by the arms and dragged on the stony ground.“I didn’t do anything!” I shouted, thrashing. “Let me go! He needs help!”“He’s dying because of you!” someone shouted from the crowd.Blood. There was so much of it. Dorian’s body convulsed, mouth foaming, eyes rolling back. His best friend was pounding on his chest now, shouting commands to the healers who had already gone pale.“Poison,” one whispered.“magic?” another questioned.“He was fine until he touched her…”“Get her out of here!”I screamed until my throat burned. But no one listened.They dragged me away from the grove, past the whi

Chapter: CURSED AND ACCUSED;MY MATE FELL “I can’t believe you’re actually trying to walk in there like you belong.”Cassandra’s voice pierced through the morning air before I even made it past the stone archway that marked the entrance to the sacred grove. She was already in her ceremonial robe that hugged her perfect curves, her hair in a flawless bun. She was with other girls in flowing white, laughing and twirling, their wolves brushing just beneath the surface of their skin.I clenched my teeth and kept walking, silk robe tight in my arms.“I was invited,” I said without looking at her. “Same as you.”Every female chosen to be claimed by her mate must walk through the sacred grove and receive the pack’s blessing.Today was finally my turn.She let out a light laugh, the kind that turned heads. Two girls behind her whispered something and giggled.“Invited?” Cassandra turned, her perfectly sculpted brow arching as she followed me step for step. “You think they invited you out of respect? No, they did it out of pity.

Chapter: WOLF-LESS BUT CHOSEN BY HIM“They’re already calling you the cursed one, they are not to be blamed, you're Eighteen and still no wolf? That’s gotta be some kind of sick record.”My sister’s voice was sickly sweet as she leaned against the doorframe of my room, arms crossed, eyes dripping with mockery. “Maybe the Moon Goddess forgot you exist, Kiera.”She said laughing. My hands clenched around my gym bag.Don’t cry. Don’t react. Don’t give her the satisfaction of seeing you hurt.But it was too late.The humiliation settled like a stone in my stomach and Cassandra saw it, she always does.“Seriously though,” “what kind of Beta can’t even shift on her birthday? Goddess, even the omegas pity you.”“The Moon Goddess gives wolves in her own time.”I said trying hard not to sound pathetic.“Oh, please,” She sneered, flipping her golden curls. “Stop using that excuse. You’re just a disgrace to the our bloodline.”I paused. That word. Disgrace, I have heard it so many times that it stopped stopped stinging. Not wh
