ASTRAThe maids lead me away from the celebration, and my heart falls because I know where they're taking me. My mother have sung into my head more than once. I was going to the Alpha's chambers so I could consummate the bond I just accepted in front of hundreds of witnesses. As if the day could not get any worse. I'm a virgin and viewed to be so until I give it up to a deserving wolf who loves me with all his heart. Even that dream has been shattered.My heart pounds so hard I think it might break through my ribs.They bring me to a massive chamber at the top of the pack house. It's clearly been Remus's room, now Thalor's. "Come," one of the maids says softly, leading me to an adjoining bathing room.They strip off my blood-stained wedding dress and I stand there numb trying to process it all as they wash away the stains of Remus's blood from my body.They dry me and dress me in a thin white nightgown that leaves nothing to the imagination. I can see my breasts and hips through the f

ASTRAIt was a bloodmoon wedding ceremony. I wasn't looking forward to it at all. More so, that I was getting married to Alpha Remus...again.. and this time there was no running because there was nothing to lose. Everybody I knew and loved was dead. I look over to where Thalor stood amidst the crowd, one inch taller than the rest of the heads. His eyes bore through me, emotionless. I made a mental note to reject him once the wedding was over. The mate bond between us was thecruelest joke the moon goddess ever played.Guards flank me on both sides, their hands tight on my arms like they expect me to bolt. This is more like them bringing me for slaughter than an aisle for a wedding. The ceremonial grounds are packed with hundreds of wolves, all dressed in their finest, all watching me like I'm some spectacle. Their faces all shine red under the blood moon's crimson light. At the altar, Remus waits in black and gold ceremonial robes, his smile of pure victory. After everything, he's fi

ASTRAI wake up in a dungeon.My head pounds like someone's taken a hammer to it. When I move, something holds me down, I look at it and I see that they are silver chains binding me down. Silver has always been the bane of werewolves and I know that I won't be about to shift and break through my bones so long as there are silver. I'm in a dungeon and above me, I hear footsteps and laughter, the sounds of a pack going about their day while I rot in darkness.Lyanna Mordane didn't want to help me. She wanted to cage me.I remember arriving at Shadowveil with Thalor just before the sun spread over the skies. Thalor had led me through the gates, and past the guards who bowed to him like they knew him. Deep down I always have known that he shouldn't be trusted, mate or not, but I'd run out of options and I walked right into his trap.Lyanna was waiting in the courtyard. She smiled when she saw me, and it was not a friendly smile. "Astra Ashford," she said. "Welcome to Shadowveil."I bare

ASTRAI scream as he pops my shoulder blade into place. Tears stream down my face before I can stop them."Done," he says quietly, and his thumb brushes away one of my tears. The gesture is so gentle, it steals my breath away. He's too close for comfort so I step back, putting distance between us. "Why did you really help me?""I told you. I can't collect payment if you're dead.""Liar." I meet his golden eyes. "You could have just stopped them. You didn't have to kill them. And you definitely didn't have to look like you enjoyed it."His jaw tightens. "They hurt you.""So what? I'm just a contract to you. I'm just another bounty." I scoff."You're more than that."I spun my head towards him surprised, and the look on his face shows that he immediately regrets that he said that."I can't let you die," he continues, his voice rough. "I physically cannot let you die. Do you understand what I'm saying?"I roll my eyes. It suddenly clicks. If I die, the pain he would feel would be so excr

ASTRAI came to archive territory to find answers about my Gamma bloodline and why Remus wanted me so bad he sent a bounty hunter after me. I was able to sneak in and find the files that I wanted. Every sold marriage in the tribute system was always recorded, we'd give to court and signed on papers whose duplicates will be here. Attached to those papers would be a detailed demographic of each partner. The archiveguard's hand clamps over my mouth As I photograph the tributary records , I don't know when an archive's guard sneaks on me - I usually have sharp hearing -- and clamps his hand on my mouth. His other hand twists my arm behind my back, and pain shoots through my shoulder."You little thief," he growls in my ear.I have the evidence right here in my hands, this is proof that this sold marriages are actual kidnapping of females with rare or Alphabloodlines, to reduce the threat of those powerful bloodlines to mere breeding stations. I just needed to present it to the right peopl

THALORIn all my work, I've never failed or seen a better fighter than her. It was easy tracking her but subduing her has been hell so far. She fights like she's seasoned and I've been more on the defensive than on the offensive..Time to end this."You're good," I say, circling her in the cave. "But you're lagging because you are exhausted. If I have to fight you so that you would fall from your last breath, then so be it.""Go to hell," she snarls, and lunges.I sidestep, catch her wrist and twist. She's already moving, using my momentum against me, and before I can blink she's driving her knee toward my ribs. Air wheeze out of my lungs as I try to block her. I don't underestimate victims but I did this one and now she has warrior training.Who taught a Gamma's daughter to fight like this?She comes at me again, and this time I'm done playing. I duck under her strike, sweep her legs, and we both go down. She doesn't stop fighting even as we hit the ground, twisting, clawing, trying

CYPRUSOf course, Fiona had given me the best news and I had the perfect way of celebrating it with her. Taking her out sightseeing, making her know she was loved and definitely loved by the right man. We were just two weeks away from her coronation and even though I was so pissed and I tried my best to make the Elders change the date, at least this time around they did not reject my offer and instead accepted. We do what we have to do since Sergius was already going crazy and from the looks of it, it seems they were already having secret message meetings to change some things. Though I don't give a damn about what they wanted to change or why they wanted to, as long as they accepted Fiona, that was all that mattered to me. At this point, we got back home only for me to see my beta pacing back and forth impatiently. He looked at me and immediately rushed to us with urgent news.“I am so glad you came home on time before Sergius turns this place upside down,” he said as I looked at F

SEEGIUS"Once you hear something that does not go well with you, you first of all get angry and destroy everything. Before you later calm down and start thinking that you shouldn't have done that in the first place.""But then things would have already been destroyed by then. You do not think about those things. You are not like your brother, Cyprus.""Cyprus is very calm. He always thinks about things before he does them. He has a clear reason. He reasons well. He's very reasonable. He is someone who acts like a true leader.""But you, no, you do not come. Your nerves, you're always boiling. You always do things with anger. And that is one thing that is not good for a leader.""It is not actually a good quality in a good leader. That is why we are thinking that you are not fit or capable of being a Supreme Lycan.""That is the fate. That's the main reason why you were not the Supreme Lycan in the first place. If not, both the South and the North were supposed to be your territory.""

SERGIUS"The greatest thing now is that the greatest information and something that would actually affect all of us is that the Council members are planning.""They actually had a meeting behind your back, and they are planning not to make you the overall Lycan anymore. The Supreme Lycan.""They are planning not to make you the Supreme Lycan because of your anger issues. They actually had a meeting and they concluded that you get angry easily and you do things out of impulse. You do not think before you do things.""And it's. They believe that it will not be good for the Kingdom. They believe that you are not able, and you are not capable of becoming the Supreme Lycan.""They're actually thinking of giving that position to Cyprus because he's much calmer and much better at handling situations, unlike you. That is in their words, Alpha, not mine.""If any of my words sound hurtful or disrespectful, please forgive me. I'm only saying what I'd heard from the Council members.""They no lo

SERGIUSI was immediately awoken by the sound of my door being pushed open. "What the hell do you think you are doing?" I shouted at my beta as he rushed into my room without even knocking. "Don't you... Have you forgotten your manners? Or don't you even have the courtesy to knock before entering your Alpha's room? What the hell is wrong with you? Why did you just barge in like that? There is something called knocking, and that is what you are supposed to do. It's normal courtesy. Are you that dumb?" I shouted at him, feeling frustrated. They had actually barged into my room, disturbing my sleep in the process. But then he just walked right up to me."I'm sorry, Alpha, but now is not the time for you to start correcting me about normal courtesy because you do not know what is actually going on while you are here sleeping. There is really big trouble, and there is really bad news right now.""I don't want to hear any news right now! And I don't want to hear if any news is the greatest

CYPRUSThen I was following closely behind her, trying to see where she was going next. I think she had actually noticed that someone was following her. As she stopped in her tracks, she looked back, and I had already hidden behind a pillar, not wanting her to see me. "I did not want her to think that I was actually the type to be eavesdropping on conversations. I did not want her to see me as a bad person." So I decided to hide behind the pillar, not wanting to reveal myself to her, at least not yet. Then she started walking again, this time walking at a very fast pace. I know that she's actually suspicious about the fact that someone was following behind her, but I decided to be careful now, more than ever. Then all of a sudden, she just turned back without me realizing it. "There was no escape route for me, and there was nowhere for me to hide anymore." As I just stood there, I was caught already. Then Fiona looked surprised. "Cyprus, what are you doing? Why are you following m

CYPRUSI was sitting inside my study, so lost in thought as I was reminiscing on what Sergius had said to me. These words kept playing repeatedly in my head as I did not know how to take them out of my mind. I just sat there thinking about what he had said. "What if what he said was true?" I pondered. "What if he ends up succeeding in taking Fiona up? Away from me? What if Fiona ends up leaving me for Sergius? No, that cannot happen. Anything like that can't happen. I would not allow that to happen.""I have to talk to Fiona," I thought. "I have to know what she wants. I can't lose Fiona right now, no. I can't lose Fiona, not to Sergius." I thought to myself, "Could his threats really be real? Would he actually take Fiona away from me? No, he can't really do that. He can't actually do that to me. No, I won't allow him to do that, and I will not allow Fiona to go with him. I know that Fiona loves me, and no matter what, she won't go with Sergius." Then I remembered also what one of
