Madeline’s POVRaising up a letter, I was hiding behind me, my smirk vanished, and I let out a sigh of frustration. Sometimes, I really hate it when I’m right.“What’s this?” he asked, grabbing the already opened letter from my hand.He was about to unfold and read it, but I held his hand midway, stopping him. My eyes wandered around and gestured to a few guards walking around us before I shook my head in warning. “Not here.”He stared at me for a while before nodding his head in understanding and putting the letter in the inside pocket of his coat.“Come on,” he said, putting a hand on my back and guiding me to where our car was parked.Like a real gentleman, he opened the door for me and put his hand on the top of the car’s doorway as I bent down to sit in. I whispered a quiet thank you before scooting over to far inside, giving him room.It’s already dark when we arrive back at the Demonmaw. Aside from some pups playing around with their parents watching over them and guards patrol

Keiran’s POV“Alpha Keiran, I hope that everything that has been said in this room is nothing but the truth.”Those were the words that were first said to me by the elders as soon as Adeline and Helena left the room.Maintaining my expression neutral, I kept my usual demeanour and looked them in the eyes without any hint of hesitation. “I wouldn’t dare.”“By all means.”With that, they stood up and started leaving one after another through the back door. When I left the courthouse, I surveyed the surroundings and furrowed my brows when I didn’t see any signs of Helena and Adeline.Did they leave?Just as the question popped into my head, my phone pinged in my pocket. Fishing it out, I saw Helena’s message on my notification and immediately clicked on it, reading: “Alpha, I need to go back to train the other warriors already. Adeline… I mean, Princess Madelaine insisted on staying.”That stubborn girl!I cursed silently in my mind as I stuffed my phone back in my pocket and looked arou

Madeline’s POVThe air outside the council hall was thick with late-afternoon fog. We walked slowly through the hallway, exchanging useless small talk to pass the time.“It’s taking forever. You can go back first. You still have to help train the others,” I spoke to Helena, gesturing outside while I leaned back on one of the hallway’s pillars.She raised her hand and looked at her wristwatch. With the increase in new students, spectacular senior warriors like her already had their own troops to train. Her being the first in class had more aside from me.Looking at me hesitantly, she spoke, “But I can’t leave you here alone. How about you get back with me?”I think for a while, the image of Amanda’s glare and Max’s look of impatience flashed back in my eyes. After some thought, I decided that I didn’t want to go back yet.“Don’t worry about it.” Nodding toward the court we just left, I added, “Keiran is still there. I’m not alone.”“But–”She still wanted to retort, but I interrupted h

Madeline’s POVI looked at them in confusion and insisted on asking, “How are you guys really planning to do this?”They both looked at me and saw the determination in my face. Standing up, I looked at them more sharply and raised my brows. “I’m not a damsel in distress.”Well, maybe I am in distress. But I am no damsel.They glanced at each other before Keiran sighed in defeat. Our pack has an ally in the witch cities.I looked at him in shock. “But… Aren’t they in hiding?”Witches were known for their witchcraft, but more than a hundred years ago, they stopped using their powers for anything outside their territory. They isolated themselves in their world and lived in peace.I knew they would come out and still mingle among werewolves and humans, but that’s it. They were basically hiding who they were and kept to themselves.“He’s a family friend. Basically, he keeps to his vow. But every now and then, he would come to our aid if needed,” he explained.Pointing at Helena, I asked, “

Madeline’s POV“Who is it?” he asked quietly. Though his voice sounded a little low after trying to speak while controlling his breathlessness, the commanding tone remained.It took a few seconds before a steady reply sounded from beyond the door. “It’s Helena, Alpha. I… I need to speak with both of you.”My heart was still pounding, still feeling breathless. But unlike earlier, when I was drowning with the intimate sensation we share, I was feeling conscious about our distance.I could feel Keiran’s tension ripple beneath my fingertips. Though he pulled back a little away from me after hearing the knock, we were still close to each other, and he remained on top of me, using his straightened arms that were pressing on the bed on each side of my shoulders.His eyes remained on mine for a little while before he closed his eyes for control and pushed himself off me, gently sliding from the door. In a quick motion, we moved in sync as we fixed our appearance.With my back leaning against

Madeline’s POVI stared at him in stunned silence. Not just because he was here sitting beside me on my bed, but because I was once again forever grateful toward him. He was once again shielding me from any danger. But above all things, I stared at him in shock because of the uncontrollable storm of butterflies that burst to life in my stomach, a sensation so sudden and consuming it left me breathless. Gratitude, confusion, something else I couldn’t name… they all swirled together within me, crashing like waves.But then, just as quickly as the joyous feelings reached my heart, it faded.The kingdom and the faces of those who lived there with me before flashed before my eyes, and the weight of reality crashed back into me. No one but me could imagine the danger he was inviting by letting me stay here… by protecting me.“You’re risking a lot by hiding me here,” I said in a low voice, but we both knew how heavy it was.Silence engulfed us, and tension built up in the air.He’s an Alpha

Lillian’s POVOur smiles we share in that beautiful reflection, then shatter. And that beautiful silver wolf, Lyra, lunges forward. Suddenly, she’s not just a reflection, but a real, live wolf that lunges forward.I jolt in shock and am about to back away, but everything happens too fast. Way too fast for me to react.She lunges not to attack but to merge with me. To fully merge with my consciousness and my being.Thousands of sensations flow within me, filling the hollow part of my heart that’s always longing for my wolf’s presence.“It’s nice to finally be with you, Lillian.” That is her last word before my eyes snap open.With my eyes open, I can vividly see the sky that’s now clear and full of brightly twirling stars.Gone are the swirling clouds, and the moon is no longer red but a bright one of its original colour.“Lillian…” I hear Keegan’s voice.Shifting my gaze at him, I find him a little smaller than me, and that’s when I realise it. I am no longer in his arms, just like be

Lillian’s POVAs soon as we step outside, we are immediately greeted by the wrath of the storm. The wind is blowing strongly, the breeze is immensely cold, and the raindrops are heavy. Every drop of the cold rain feels like a pellet of ice that contrasts my burning skin.We all walk to the centre of the courtyard, and I can see from the corner of my eye how Maddox tries her best to protect Hansel as much as possible from the storm by using her own body as a shield.It’s warming my heart as I appreciate her kindness, but honestly, it barely does anything. Despite the storm, the pup still gets drenched for half a minute in the rain.Once at the centre, Keegan gently lowers me to the ground, a large decorative stone with the engraving of the Oasis pack symbol. It’s massive enough that I can sit on it and even half lie down if needed.But despite the size of the stone that can surely accommodate me, Keegan accompanies me by sitting by my side.His hand gently holds my shoulder and pulls m

Lillian’s POVThe air is filled with anticipation as we all anxiously wait for Richard’s reply.Richard looks at each of them and continues, “The ship one has come to an end after her heart stops earlier. Technically, she did die for a moment. Still, it’s a temporary fix. Like a bandage on it. Unless she learns to properly control it, she can handle the burn until it fully subsides and unite with her own strength.”So, basically, I need more training.That… I can deal with it.Suddenly, confidence radiated off of me.I try to sit up, but a groan immediately escapes my lips as every muscle in my body refuses to cooperate, leaving me to slump back against the pillows. With the slight change in my position, I finally notice Maddox is at the far end of the room with her back pressed against the wall while rocking the whimpering Hansel back and forth in her arms.Remembering how it’s said that we are tied together, and now that I’m alive, worry fills me with the possibility that he is harm

Lillian’s POV“I’m not letting you go.”That familiar voice echoes from everywhere, repeatedly just when I feel like I am at the edge of the cliff with darkness all around me and heat hotter than flames surrounding me.The voice sounds so familiar that it touches my heart while the words echo with raw desperation. So much so that I can feel it vibrate through my bones deeper and deeper until it reaches deepest inside me, anchoring me right at the edge just before I completely fall and be dragged away.I can hear it again, but this time, it registers in my mind.Keegan! That’s Keegan’s voice!How can I forget?It’s been hours since I lost consciousness and sucked myself into darkness. Every second that passes by feels like hell, and slowly, my mind goes silent to the extent that my memories fade away together with my will and everything that makes me… me.“You can’t leave me! You can’t die! I order you!”If it isn’t to the pain I am feeling right now, I will be laughing. Even at this t

Keegan’s POVThe trip out to the Oasis isn’t as easy as usual. With the recent bad weather and the storm worsening, the road is becoming increasingly dangerous.The pavements are wet, and every car is at its bright headlights as fog starts to form right ahead.I tap my fingers on the side of the door, anxiousness kicking in within me as the intensity to be back at Lillian’s side and be at her disposal, especially at this moment, rises within me.“Can’t you go any faster?” I shout, unable to help it anymore.He looks back at time through the rear-view mirror. “We’re almost there, Alpha. I’m already at the highest speed limit. Any more and we’ll be a hazard to the others.”I sneer but don’t say anything, knowing what he is saying is correct, especially in this weather.True to these words, after a few minutes, I heard the screeching of the tyres as it halted inside the Oasis pack.“Alpha, we’re here–”I don’t bother waiting for him to finish his words. The engine is still running, but I

Keegan’s POVThe silence that follows my outburst is deafening. The air in the small meeting room becomes so thick with my presence, especially with my wolf’s presence, that it changes the colour of my eyes. Dominance and power fill the air, so much so that Elder Rowan actually loosens his tie, gasping for a breath that doesn’t taste like my rage.My hand is still planted on the table, vibrating with the force of the growl that just ripped through my chest. For a moment, no one moves. Even Elder Mira, who usually has a retort for everything, looks pale, her lips pressed into a thin white line. For a long while, it seemed as if they got too used to seeing the incompetent version of me. The one who had tried to remain a diplomat to make up for all the mistakes that I have made. The version of me who is still broken and regretful of things that ruin my image as a husband.But they have forgotten that before all this, before being the man who starts chasing a ghost, I am the Alpha who ha
