It was like Favian knew what was going to happen. It was like he saw it and told me about it. How can it be?When I raised my head, Coral and Nathan were sitting down. I could swear that they were not going to come back after what happened last night, and after Favian warned them not to talk about it again, but they never listened. " What are you two doing here?" I asked." You have no right to question my guest; I was the one who invited them here," His mother said. I looked at Fabian, but he did not make a move; he stood there as he watched me, expecting me to say something or do something, but it seemed like my legs were tied to the ground, and my tongue seized as well. I looked at him again, I saw that anger in his face. Like he was going to yell at me for standing there and not saying anything. " Why would you do such a thing? They have no business coming into this house; why would you bring them here? I do not want to ever see them here again" I yelled. It was the first tim

The house looked like I had just poured silence on it. This silence hit everywhere after Nathan and Coral had gone. I was once defended again and it made me feel good. I was happy that someone could raise his voice to save me. I woke up that morning feeling all my body in one piece. I touched the bed, this was one thing that stood out as well. I frowned when I remembered the activities of the previous day. I got up and slowly walked out of the room. I did not want to be the one who would make the noise. I silently walked to the sitting room where there seemed to be a lot of tension between Favian and his mother. My heart skipped. Maybe I must have slept so deeply that I did not hear them argue. I knew they were arguing and it seemed it was about me. I could tell that, I could tell from the way his mother looked at me.I hated it, it made me feel like I was the reason for all her misfortune. " Good morning," I managed to say. I wanted it to be as loud as possible but it only c

The soft fabric of the dress caressed my skin as I walked through the grand hall, my arm linked with Favian’s. I had never worn anything this beautiful in my life. The gown was a deep emerald green, shimmering under the soft lights as if it were alive. I felt elegant, powerful, like someone worth admiring. It was a far cry from the ragged woman I had been only days ago.Favian’s hand gripped mine gently, but there was a firmness to it, and it made me feel safe. This was no ordinary night, it was my introduction to the world as his mate, as Luna of the Furbloom Pack. My heart pounded in my chest as we stepped further into the crowd, where Alphas and Lunas from far and wide had gathered. They watched us with curious eyes, whispers buzzing like bees as we made our way to the center of the grand event.I could feel their eyes on me, but tonight, for the first time in a long while, I didn’t feel small or ashamed. I felt proud.When we reached the stage, Favian’s grip on my hand tightened,

When I opened my eyes, the first thing I noticed was the softness beneath me. The mattress cradled my aching body, and for a moment, I thought I was still dreaming. Then the memories of last night came crashing back… being cast out, stumbling through the woods, the bar, the drunken men... and the wolf. I shot upright in bed, my heart pounding in my chest. I wasn’t in the woods, and I certainly wasn’t in that grimy bar. Instead, I found myself in a large, luxurious room. The walls were painted a soothing cream color and adorned with elegant paintings and expensive-looking decorations. A plush, velvet armchair sat near the window, and the scent of freshly cooked food wafted from a table in the center of the room.I looked down at myself and realized my tattered dress was gone. In its place was a soft, silken robe that draped over my body. Someone had changed me while I was unconscious. I started to panic.Where am I? Who brought me here?I pushed the thick blankets aside and slipped ou

The moment the sun broke over the horizon, I was dragged out of the gates of the Moonbeam Pack like a traitor. The cold morning air bit at my skin, but nothing compared to the chill inside me. I stumbled forward, my bare feet scraping against the rough ground, but I didn’t look back. What was there to see? The place I had once called home had betrayed me. My mate had rejected me, and now I was alone. “Rowena!” I snapped around the moment I heard Nathan’s voice. He had finally come to his senses. “Nathan, why did you allow them to do this to me? You’ve always known that I’m innocent, so why did you let me suffer?” I sobbed, wanting to run into his arms, but the ropes that bound my hands held me back. Not to mention, I felt very weak. “The only reason I’m letting you get exiled is because my father loved you. Otherwise, you would have gotten the death sentence! Never step foot in this pack, else, I would kill you with my bare hands!” He growled, and the mad look in his eyes ma

I stood in the corner of the courtyard, watching the pack celebrate under the silver moonlight. It should have been a special night, our first anniversary. I should have been proud and happy to be standing by Nathan’s side, but instead, I felt invisible, as I always did. Nathan hadn’t looked at me once, not since the night started. His eyes were constantly on Coral, laughing with her, leaning in to hear her every word. The sight twisted something deep inside me, but I bit my tongue and tried to ignore it. Nathan wouldn’t do me like that, right?For a year, I had lived like this. Ever since we were mated, Nathan had been distant and cold. He didn’t want me, and he didn’t bother to pretend otherwise. But his father, Alpha George, had insisted that we be joined, and Nathan had obeyed out of duty. Not love. Never love. I kept telling myself that things would change, that Nathan would see me one day, see me as more than a burden he had to carry because of his father’s dying wish. See me a

Lyra's POV I crawled out of my room and got into his room. I was lucky that the door was open and I could go inside. I saw that he was on the floor as well, I had no idea why he was on the floor but I saw the blood coming out of his nose and I knew he was having another episode. I cringed at the sight of his blood, and was even more upset that he was hiding such a terrible thing from me, and he thinks I do not deserve to know what was going on with him, which I find very disturbing. " What are you doing here?" He spoke slowly. He was getting weak as well. " Tell me what is going on, you are leaving me in the dark" I said. I was hurting but that was not the only thing going on with me. I was hearing voices in my head, I thought it was some kind of reaction to something but I was wrong, I was hearing a man's voice in my head, crying out from pain. I do not know who it was and it did not sound like Alpha Kael, it was not close, yet I could hear it. I knew it was connected to him

Lyra's POV I could feel everything that was going on in the building. The way the maids looked at me, the guards were no different. No one treated me with kindness, they looked at me like something was wrong with me. Like I had made the biggest mistake of my life by coming to this place. I understand that they are hurt that my pack killed their people and they must have lost a family member, but this marriage was done so the killings does not continue. " Can you help me out with the water?" I asked one of the maids. My bath water was always set for me by my assistant, I never had to do it, but since I got here, I've had to handle that and I was not comfortable with it. " Why should I? You have been doing it, I guess you can continue" she said coldly to me.I stood there, looking at her, there was nothing I could do and there was no one I could report to as well. Keal was never going to look at me twice, he was disgusted by my sight the last time I was in his room. He said I rem

Kael's POVI got out of the bathroom and just like I had asked her to get ready for me. She was right there in bed. It was the first time I was seeing her skin, her shoulders as well. She was putting on a sleeveless top which had her shoulders visible. I stood there, imagining what was going to be underneath the duvet which she was using to cover herself." I've been waiting," she said. " As you should," I said to her. She must never know that I find her attractive, it was wrong and should never be made known. " Give me a minute," I said. I walked into the closet with my towel and grabbed the tissues that were on the shelf and rubbed off the blood that had threatened to show its ugly self. I wonder how long I was going to cope with this. They said Lyra has healing powers, I have to make sure I am cured of this ailment. I can not continue like this, it feels like my life is getting shorter by the day. I wiped it clean and went back to Lyra on the bed, she was still waiting there

Lyra's POV The Pack was having a loud celebration of our marriage. Father was very excited about it, it felt like he had done something that he has always wanted to do. I was seated next to my supposed husband and Aloha, it made my stomach ache and I hated to be there. I would have sat next to my father, but the pack elders were going to kick against it. I saw how the food and drinks went about the place and how fast things were going in my eyes. Kael and I have not said much ever since we returned from the river. The day has gone back to normal but I was still unsettled about what it was that was going on. My wolf has been quiet ever since I returned to my room. I had tried to engage her in a conversation but she had refused to say anything. Maybe she was shocked at what had happened and she was only taking her time to reflect on what it was. " You do not look well to me" I heard Kael say. I was surprised that he would speak to me. Of course I was not well, everything that wa

Karl's POV I walked into the gathering that was waiting for me. It was no longer only the council members that were present, the rest of the Pack members were there as well. I could see the members of my pack there too. I looked around and noticed that Princess Lyra was not yet here. I wondered if she was always this late to every gathering or she was just trying to piss me off right now. I stood in front of the burning fire as I waited for her to join me there. It was at the Moon fire altar, a very sacred one, it is not always used, except in cases like this and it was always a dangerous affair. The small chants from the crowd made me turn and there she was. I was upset that she had kept me waiting but I was startled by how pretty she looked, I could not deny that part. I turned and faced the fire. She stood beside me and said nothing. There was no apology and that made me cringe at how disrespectful she is going to be. I doubt I would allow that. " Thank you everyone for joi

Lyra's POV My heart was beating so fast, it began to get tightened and I could not place my hands on what was wrong. I figured it was because of the meeting with the Crimson Fang Empire, I was going to see their Alpha for the first time. Father never allowed me to leave the pack or go to the war front to fight, so I barely knew what he looked like. A knock came to my door, I got up and rushed to it. " What is it?" I asked my assistant. She was always in my face and I knew this day was not for chitchat. It was for something important. " They have arrived and are waiting for you," she said.She opened the door wider and got into my room. " You need to get your face lit up, and even your jewelry, were you planning on going there looking like that!" She looked at me. " Of course not," I said to her. Even though it was a big fat lie, I never want to do this or be a part of this marriage. I want to show them how unhappy I was with everything going on." Wear this, and hold this in

They got home, breathing heavily as they stepped into the house. Ava was holding Aurora so close to her that one would think she wanted to press her into herself. " I saw his face, I saw the bastard there and he was one of the people who wanted to take Aurora away, I warned you about that guy" Chris said. Ava rolled her eyes at him. " You were actually wrong about him, he told us the exact thing that was going to happen, and you claimed he was telling a lie" she said. " No, that's not it, you are getting it wrong, he knew all along and that's because he is part of them, and he is only trying to buy your trust, the minute he realizes that you can believe whatever he wants to say, he will attack and you might never recover from it, that's what he is planning" he said. She stood there and looked at him. She did a lot of hurtful things to him but she held herself back. " He was actually helping and you do not have to accuse him like that. He was only helping" she said. She held Aur

She was well dressed for the night as she stepped out of the car with Chris. Their hands were into each other even though there was so much tension between the two of them and they obviously were not speaking to each other. Ava held Aurora on the other hand while Bella stayed beside her as well. They stood in front of the cameras as they took pictures, with all smiles and just had a perfect moment but the smiles all went away after they were out of the frame. They walked right into the hall and sat down at a reserve table for them. Little did she know that the table that was reserved for them was also for Sophia and Caleb as well. She held Aurora as soon as Sophia walked to her table. " What are you doing here?" She asked in such a defensive manner. " Do not be a silly girl, I was invited here and this is where I am meant to be" she said as she pulled out a chair and sat down. Ava could not understand why they had to place her in the same space with Sophia. " I'm sure it must

Ava sat at the table while Chris sat beside her, they had been there for just five minutes before he walked in. Denise was surprised to see that she was with Chris, he had told her that Chris was not to be involved in whatever they were up to, but she chose to bring him in still. He looked at her, with his eyes having so many questions to ask her but he stayed still as he sat there, while looking at her. " Aren't you going to say something?" She asked him." I'm waiting for you to do that," he said, while looking at Chris. He was so uncomfortable with having him around and Chris felt a lot of disgust for him.They both did not hide their displeasure for each other. " Why are you trying to act like some saint? You know too well that what you are doing and posing to her is all a lie and some fake stuff, I can see it through you" Chris said to him.Ava frowned, she had pleaded with him not to say that or say anything that would trigger the situation to become a disaster. " This has

Sophia sat in front of all of them, she had such a heavy and deadly look on her face as she looked at them one after another. She sighed as she feared that her plans might not work out the way she wanted. " Why is she still alive? I have tried so much to make you all understand that I do not want to see that little thing alive, yet you all kept her alive" she yelled at them. They never made a move, or tried to say anything in their defense, they all stood there and allowed her to talk. " What do you think we should do next?" She asked her hired crew members. They were just three, she had hired them to take out Ava and Aurora. " I want to hear your opinions, and the plans that you have mapped out. I want to know how we can take her out. I want her out of the way, as she is obstructing me" she said. The room was a bit dark, and that was a result of low lighting. There was something about it that made it look like it was a room for the execution of evil. " We were planning on wha

He watched her stare into his eyes, but all he could see was hate, enough of it and he wondered why she hated him that much despite his apology and trying to reach out to her. " Answer me, say something to me, I want to hear you speak to me" he begged her. She looked at him and scoffed. " You can never be like Chris, he is everything I have always wanted, he is not like you and I will appreciate it if you can stay the hell away from me, we can never get back together, it is not happening, we were done years ago and we are still done" she said. He stepped back a bit, like these words hurt him so much. " Alright then, but know that I still want to work things out with you, and probably make it up to you for the times I was a total jerk," he said. She shook her head at such words and walked away. He did not try to hold her back, he allowed her to go this time. He was too weak to say anything, as he lowered himself to the chair that was close by." Do you want anything, Sir?" One o

She held the chair and stood there as she saw the look on his face, he was very much concerned about what he was looking at than how pissed off she was about it. " You should sit, the maids will get you something to drink," he said to her." I do not want that. I just want to pass the information to you and that will be all" she said. He rolled his eyes at her as soon as she said that to him. " I do not think so, you won't be here alone if you truly wanted me to know about something" he said." Chris was meant to be in this place, I do not know what is going on with him, but I am here now, to talk about it" she said. She finally sat down and then asked that he sits down as well. He did as she said, and sat the opposite, but his eyes were not leaving her. " You can stop staring at me like that, I do not like it and I do not find it okay" she said. She wondered why she was reacting that way to how he looked at her. She had tried so hard to get it off her mind but it seemed imposs
