Chapter: 142: Much More BetterKNOX**Months laterI woke up to the loud cry of a woman. The voice would be familiar if I had heard Sage cry a lot. But this was worse than I could ever imagine. Sitting up on the bed, I looked at Sage who was seated with her hand rubbing on her stomach. “I think the child is on its way.” “What?!” Jumping off the bed, I rushed to the door and opened it, sighting Brian who rushed in on command. “Aella!” At the top of my voice, I also shouted. Rushing back to the room, Sage was helped on her feet by Brian who had all the strength. Joining strength with the man, we managed to take Sage to the door and it was at this point that Aella showed up, confused. In her night dress. “My lady?!” She cried, rushing to our side but there was nothing she could do, especially when two hefty men were in charge of the current situation. Then, I ordered. “Get her clothes. The baby's and every other necessary thing while you join us at the center.” “Argh!” The shout of Sage and her hand digging i

Chapter: 141: The ChaseSAGEMoonclaw Pack? Did I hear the man correctly? “Moonclaw Pack?” I walked towards the door and out of the room. The next time I turned around, Alpha Knox walked behind me. There was a look on his countenance and it looked like anger more than the normal him. Together, we caught up with the entrance of the living room and walked out with anger on my countenance. I knew already that it was the people I once lived with, but what did they want from me? “Good day, Luna of The Darkfangs Pack.” Did that—was that greeting for me? I looked around in shock, not believing my eyes and ears. What did I just hear? I looked at my brothers who had smiles on their faces, wondering also what was funny and why they smiled. “Good day to you—” I let out after some time. “Good day, Alpha Knox.” My husband walked forward. There was a smile on his countenance but I could tell that it was fake. How could it not be? “What can I do for you today, my in-laws?” The old Alpha walked closer. He bowe

Chapter: 140: A LUNA SAGE SAGE Days after Aegon was buried, the coronation ceremony came to life and everyone in the Pack ran around. With a smile on my countenance, I looked in the mirror at how good I looked—nodding in satisfaction with my heart that looked forward to the ceremony. Everywhere in the compound looked set. I was ready. I could feel it inside of me. What more could I ask for? The smile faded when thoughts of Aegon came running in my head but I pushed it away the next moment, smiling once again with my heart that looked forward to the ceremony. “You're beautiful in your outfit, my lady.” “Thank you.” I turned to look at the maid who did a good job of getting me ready. “Can we leave already?” “Yes—” the maid mouthed. She got off the bed and took hold of my garment from behind. Something Aella should be doing but I struggled so hard to not think about a woman who had done nothing but betray me. She did what she had to do, after all. The Alpha will need to be spoken to as

Chapter: 139: Reconciliation
KNOXSage nodded. “I'm ready, Knox.”Taking back her hand in mine, I led her out of the chamber. Through the hallway, we went—with Brian who walked behind me all this while. My guard who never would let me down. It didn't take long to get down the stairs. So many thoughts ran around in my head but I let it be because, at the end of the day, everything would play right. Either right or wrong. “Gather the wolves, Brian. You may leave now. I'm sure the angry wolves cannot do anything to me and the woman. But if they choose to be violent, then we shall have it.” There was no need to play nice any longer. Not when I could turn into a wolf and deal with them. Catching up with the compound of the main pack, I felt something—someone squeeze my hand. “Easy, my lady—” I looked at the woman. “I'm sorry, my lord. Forgive my actions.” Sage looked up at me and then at the wolves who looked so much in her direction while they gathered in front of me. “Where are all the wolves?” More wolves

Chapter: 138: Talk To The WolvesSAGE I shouldn't have returned to the pack with Knox, but I didn't have a choice because, at that point, the man was not going to let me be on my own, and talk more about finding my way. “You're going back to The pack with me and nothing is going to change that—” In a commanding tone I could not refuse, Knox picked up Aegon's lifeless body on the floor. This was a moment I had refused to believe was real but I didn't have a choice because it played right in front of me. Another reason I could not refuse to go back to the pack with Knox. I didn't want to die, even though it seemed otherwise all these while. A sigh ran out of my mouth and my mouth opened in more tears—while I walked behind Knox who was ahead of me with the lifeless body. How much longer before we arrived at the pack? I was tired. Tired of everything, especially walking such a distance with so many bags to carry along even though it was just one and there was Knox who took everything up in his arms. When does it get

Chapter: 137: Looming Tragedy KNOXHow could I explain this to him? “Did you say a woman I have been married to since all these while is your mate, Uncle?” I nodded, ashamed but what choice did I have? “She's your mate. You've known from the onset.” I looked at Sage who had it clear on her face that she was scared. But I shifted closer to her so that she could feel nothing but safety while Aegon remained in his feelings. “Aegon—” I then called. “You need to calm down and listen to me. I didn't mean to hurt you.” “I didn't say you did—” he chuckled, standing on his feet. “I'll need some time to take in this news so you must give me some—” he walked away and was out of our sight. The next time we set eyes on Aegon, it was moments later when he walked back into the scene so that he could take his flask and with this, the man was gone from our sight again. “He hates us—” Sage cried. “I can see it.” “You don't know what you're talking about—” I cried. “He's my nephew and a good man at that. Aegon cannot bring hi

Chapter: 7: MONSTER UNLEASHED.Rain's POVA year. Three hundred and sixty- days of imprisonment inside a golden cage. I stroked the scar on my neck, the mark of my slavery to the monster who had killed my family. Before me, a foreign face stared back from the mirror-curves sharper, eyes sharper, the plumpness of childhood replaced by the hard lines of survival.The servants had spread a midnight blue silk gown over my bed, candlelight-catching silk that sparkled, a none-too-subtle reminder of the evening's intention. Kane's birthday celebration. As if such a being were worthy of celebration.A knocking at my door broke me from somber reflections."Come in," I said, recognizing who it was even as I heard the door open.Alec entered, hallway light picking up the silver strands now interwoven with darkened hair-mementos of the evening Kane had won me. His eyes, though still ocean-blue, ranged over me with wary examination I'd grown accustomed to."You're not dressed," he said, standing against the doorframe.I shrugge

Chapter: 6: DREAMSKane's POVDreams came to me the moment I closed my eyes, as they always do. This evening, however, they were different.Bloody marble floors. Raya's vacant eyes looking up at me, accusatory even as she had never been while living. Her warm lips only a matter of hours before against my mouth, now blue and lifeless."You've failed me," said the corpse, never even opening its mouth.I tried, I begged, holding my hands up to her. I didn't know—"You were supposed to protect me," she reproached. "Now see what you've become."I stared down at my hands, watching as they transformed into claws, as black fur erupted all over my body. The metamorphosis coursed through me—not merely physical, but spiritual as well. Darkness seeped through me, corrupting all it touched."This is your punishment," Raya's body continued, sitting up from the ground now, head tilting to one side unnaturally. "It is not sufficient."She stood, still bleeding from the open wound on her chest. "You will lose what you l

Chapter: 5: MARKEDRain's POVI hadn't slept. I padded through the luxurious cell they'd placed me in, running my fingers over the gold-trimmed patterns of the furniture with a state of absent mind. Outside, the moon was suspended, its light a bitter reminder of what I'd witnessed down in the cellar.I was numb where I had felt Kane's touch. Every time I tried to shut my eyes, the memory of his eyes, shifting from hazel to dark, and back again, tormented me.A distant crash echoed within the manor, with shouting. I stiffened, my senses alert, listening for the slightest indication of what was happening. Were they coming back for me again?The clock with its carved statues marked off minutes spent in the passage of hours. My prison, while pretty, was a prison. I tested the door again, it was still secured. I tried the windows, they were too high to jump.Another collision, closer. My heart pounded against my chest as rapid footsteps echoed down the corridor beyond. I stepped back from the door of my own

Chapter: CHAPTER FOUR: THE TEST IIKane's povI tensed as I jumped upon Rain, my wolf shouting with unrestrained rage. My veins coursed with the power of the moon as liquid heat, my brain wild with hunger.She backed away, knocking against the cold wall of stone. Nowhere to escape. Nowhere to hide. Her chest was heaving with frightened breaths, her eyes frozen with fear as I towered over her trembling form."Please," she whispered, hardly making a sound.The monster within me reveled in her fear. It devoured the racing heart at the base of her neck, the trembling limbs, the smell of fear. My claws lengthened, prepared to tear muscle from bone.But then—something odd happened.When my claws were inches from her face, she was no longer the same. Between us, the smell had changed, charged with something... else. My flared nostrils gathered up the smell. She gazed up at me, no longer fearful, but defiant. She lifted up her chin, baring her neck not as a signal of surrender, but of resistance."Do it," she snarled through

Chapter: 3: THE TEST.Kane’s pov Quietly, I paced the room, back and forth repeatedly, my impatience growing with each second as it always did on days like this. What would be the outcome of today’s test? That was the one and only question on my mind. Will today mark the end of all my sufferings? Or will it be just like all the other times—another failure and despair, was that what awaited me again today?I shook the thought from my mind. I didn't even want to think of it, but I couldn't help it. I have had over fifty tests done already, and failure and disappointment is all I've ever gotten from each attempt to break the curse. It was kind of the only thing to expect. And though I tried to keep an open mind all this time, to have hope, I wouldn't deny the fact that my hope was waning with each failed test. I was even beginning to doubt if truly there was anyone who could break this curse or if I had been chasing the wind all this time.I barely had any hope left, but I also didn't want to give up tryin

Chapter: 2: TAKENRain’s povHe marched towards me, crouched down, coming face to face before me as he pulled down his hood, and my stomach tightened with dread. The rumours about him were always about his cruelty and the agony he'd caused but none ever warned or prepared me for how beautiful the devil looked like.His face looked like it had been sculpted after the word perfection. The detailed outline of his jawline, and that provocative stare he wore like a garment was alluring.My heart skipped a beat as I stared at him. How can a devil be this beautiful? Kane had long dark hair which flowed down his shoulders, hazel small eyes that pierce through mine, burning into the pit of my stomach as he took a long look at me. “What is your name?” He whispered gently almost like he wasn't all the brutality he had been made up to be.I didn't answer. “Her name is Rain. She's the princess or was the princess,” Alec answered for me still standing next to us.“I see,” Kane said, looking intrigued. “Rain. Did

Chapter: 3: MISSING.Zane dragged Serena’s dead body out of the passageway and abandoned it at the entrance where he could easily find it before heading to help the guards find Eve. She was his top priority and it was bad enough that he had already wasted so much time on Serena, that worthless thing. She just had to get in the way, didn't she? He thought, walking through the forest. He sighed heavily. If only she had minded her business, she'd still be alive right now, and Eve would be dead with no trouble.He released another sigh. He could only hope now that the guards had been useful enough to find, capture or kill her. He would prefer the latter, but any of the options would be really great as long as they had her. “Zane,” Tyler called up ahead, drawing his attention to him. He creased a brow as his gaze met him, Tyler’s expression wasn't good, and he could already guess that whatever news he had for him couldn't be good either. Oh, shit! He frowned.“Please tell me you have her already,” he mumble

Chapter: 2: RUN! A faint sound of footsteps echoed through the room, there was still someone there, lingering in the room. Serena and Eve stood still in the dark passageway, not making a sound for fear of discovery. The walls were thin, and it was a risky move to make any sound while there was someone in there so they had to wait.Thankfully, Serena didn't have to explain this to her, she could just tell, judging by how easily it was to hear the guards from here. Perhaps if they went farther away from the entrance, hearing them would be harder but for now they couldn't move.Eve’s heart pounded in her chest, full of fear and doubt. She didn't want to believe whatever it was she had heard Zane say, but she also couldn't pretend she didn't hear it either or it wasn't bugging her. It was. They wanted her dead, and if Zane was personally carrying this order out, then surely it must have come from Kai, which meant that he wanted her dead, and that didn't make any sense to her.Why? For Juliana? Would he r

Chapter: 1: BETRAYAL North Colorado.Eve gritted her teeth, her body contorting in agony as another contraction ripped through her. She screamed, her body shuddering as she pushed with all her strength. “Ahhh!” Sweat dripped from her brow, soaking the pillow beneath her, and she felt like she was being torn inside out. The pain was excruciating, and she dangled between life and death.“Push, Eve. You're doing a good job,” the midwife, Serena encouraged, her voice gentle, and soothing. She was a middle-aged woman, who had taken care of Eve throughout her entire pregnancy. As an orphan, Serena was the closest thing Eve had to a motherly figure in her life. “You can do it,” Serena said, egging her on.Eve bore down, her muscles straining as she pushed with all her might, shouting at the top of her voice. The pain was overwhelming, and her skin felt like it was on fire. She took slow breath, gritting her teeth as she screamed even louder, pushing with all her might and will.Just when she thought she could
