Fredrick's POV It wasn’t over. Not by a long shot.In that dungeon, trapped like a common animal I had time to think. And in that time I thought of all the ways I could make them suffer. Make Jackson, the puny brat who barely deserved the title alpha pay, and most of all make Elise suffer ten times over.I’d planned to play nice, it wouldn’t do if the other packs saw me abuse my luna, but now I had no choice. I still needed her, her visions of the future would help me take control of the world, but I only needed her alive, not comfortable.“Alpha Fredrick, Master Caius requests your presence,” One of the filthy thralls knocked at my door, daring to order me around.I flashed my canines at the servant, but he was too drained to flinch or show any kind of emotion.I stood without doing more to acknowledge the thrall as I left the private room Caius had designated for me. I think he meant to be insulting. I was an honoured guest yet I got a ‘spare’ room and was being ordered around by a

Elise's POVWe wasted no time hurrying to the dungeons, barely letting the warrior’s words sink in as we hurried into a run. I was a luna now, their luna, I didn’t have the privilege of time to be worried or scared because now I had people to protect.I barely felt myself breathe as I ran to the dungeons where Fredrick had last been held. We entrusted Christian with keeping the pack calm as we went to investigate.All the warriors were on guard and Jackson had given orders, “Secure the grounds and gather the trackers for footprints or anything we can use to find them!”When we saw the cells, they were still locked tightly, but the three of them had gone. There were no signs of struggle against the bars or the locks, no damage to the interior walls and the smell of wolfsbane was still thick in the cells.It was like they’d just vanished.I might've believed that too if it weren't for multiple guards passed out besides the three cells, not a mark on their body but looking pale and uncom

Elise’s POVMy heart was hammering as the rope was wrapped around our wrists and I couldn’t help but stare lovingly at my mate. He was looking at me the same way and I felt like crying.This was it. This was my family. This was my home.My first encounter with Jackson had been me rejecting a pack, and now I was accepting one.“Honoured guests,” Clarissa started, “We are gathered here today, not just to join two mates together for eternity, but to welcome Elise Clares into our pack as our Luna.”Cheers erupted from the crowd and I found myself checkling, a happy tear escaping from my eye. I saw Annabelle and Christian yelling the loudest with Doctor Heath holding his mate close to him and kissing her at the top of her head.“Do you, Alpha Jakson of the Full Moon pack accept Elise Clares as your destined mate?”“I do,” Jackson said without any hesitation as his grip on my hands tightened slightly, “From the moment I met you Elise, I felt something pulling me towards you. At first, I tho

Jackson's POVI took a deep breath feeling more nervous than I’d ever felt in my entire life. I was wearing a dark blue suit with a white rose pinned to my breast pocket, my hair styled and slicked back with The Alpha’s Crown placed securely on my head and my face cleanly shaven for once. Christian had said if I didn’t shave it he was going to strap me to a chair and do it himself. As much as I trusted my Beta, I didn't exactly want slices on my chin for my wedding day.I ran a hand over the smooth skin and tried to remember the last time I’d shaved it properly instead of trimmed, I'd always found the scruffy look made me look more intimidating and I was pretty sure Elise liked it. Oh well, I could grow it back. It seemed like I was trying to think of just about anything to pass the time as I waited fro Elise and tried not to fidget like an idiot.Christian was smirking next to me and I managed to subtly jab him in the ribs.I remembered making fun of him as he waited for Annabelle du

Elise’s POVFrom the second I woke up I was pampered by Clarissa and Annabelle who seemed to be more excited than me for the Luna Ceremony, which was saying a lot considering I was jittering with nerves and excitement. I never expected to accept this kind of arrangement so quickly but it just felt like the right thing to do. I wanted this ceremony to happen, I wanted to officially be Jackson’s mate for the world to see and be the Luna of this amazing pack that I now called family.Annabelle shoved me into a large bath filled with so many bubbles, salts and essential oils that I didn’t think the smell of lilies and roses would ever leave my skin.Then they pulled me into a chair as they dried and styled my hair for what seemed like hours, not in a negative way because the two of them made me laugh as we took photos and told funny stories. They curled my hair so it fell like a wave against my back before they braided and tied it so I looked like a blonde Celtic princess.The makeup came

Jackson's POVAfter we managed to get some kind of normalcy in the pack, there was still an air of stress and anxiety. We had multiple members of Fredrick’s pack join us and made sure we kept them far away from the dungeons and monitored them sufficiently just in case anyone tried to break Fredrick and the others out.“The guards and warriors won’t be too rough with them, will they?” Elise asked the last time I saw her, clutching my arm as she watched some of the refugees being directed to their houses looking terrified.I shook my head in assurance, “No, they have strict orders to treat them carefully unless they prove to be a threat, even then they are to take them down with as much force as is necessary and take them to the dungeon.”No one had seemed to try to convince any of my guards to let them pass into the dungeon or even look that way. Instead, they looked somewhat relieved to know that their former alpha was imprisoned there. Nor did they try to fight my pack. Elise was rig

Alyssa's POVI remembered Kai’s voice, I remembered the feeling when I heard it and when I realised that he’d come for me. I had never felt anything like it, like my whole world could depend on a singular person, that I could trust someone other than the few, careful friendships I’d constructed over the years. I hadn’t known Kai for as long as I’d known Nolan, but this feeling was different to how I felt about Nolan. Nolan was a friend, I appreciated him, but I wasn’t looking in the crowd for him, I wasn’t waiting to hear his voice or wondering when the next time I’d see him would be. For Kai, I did.Maybe the pain from my imprisonment was finally getting to me mentally. I had no idea what Kai was doing with the guard that had been tormenting me as I lay on the floor of the cell with no strength to pull myself into a seated position. Slowly, I closed my eyes for a moment and took deep breaths, trying to dispel the pain. I think the adrenaline from the fight for survival had stopped m

Alyssa's POVI was right to fear the footsteps that came for me after my dream. It was my guard, I still didn’t know his name, and to be honest, I wasn’t entirely sure that I wanted to know. It was better to think of him as a monster than someone who wanted to do these horrible things to me. His laughter was vile, and the familiar whip was there in his hands. He was used to me cowering in the corner by now, haunted by the memories of the past and the pain I knew he was going ot inflict, but this time I stood tall. I glared at him with a ferocity I didn’t think I possessed. For a moment, he seemed confused as to why I was doing this. He narrowed his eyes and tilted his head before a sadistic smile was cast onto his face.“Planning to put up a fight this time, mutt?” He taunted as he stepped forward, unlocked my door and welcomed himself into my cell, “Well, isn’t this a change to our usual afternoons?”I didn’t want to answer him. He didn’t deserve an answer. I just glared at him, w

Kai's POVWe couldn’t do anything more to Alpha Evan, even if I wanted to. As much as he had betrayed us, betrayed Alyssa, there was someone a lot more powerful leading this game of chess. For once, I didn’t argue with Alexander, didn’t bring up the fact that it was his mother who was making Alyssa suffer, because even if he was in love with Alyssa like I was, she was still his mother, and I didn’t want to test his loyalty at a time like this.“I just don’t understand what my mother would achieve by backing Vivian with something like this,” Alexander murmured to himself more than me.I didn’t reply to him; I had bigger things to worry about than trying to figure out the viperous mind of my stepmother.“If your mother is behind this, then we need to get Alyss out of that cell. Who knows what’s happening to her down there?” I stated gruffly, trying not to let my emotions take over again, even though a swell of rage was beginning to build once again in my stomach.We picked up our pace t

Alyssa's POVI think I was dreaming, or maybe I was remembering, but everything felt so numb and dark. I couldn’t hear Carys either, not with whatever they were using to torture me coursing through my system. When I finally closed my eyes, I wasn’t too sure when, but I felt nothing.That’s when the dream happened.I was lying under a tree at home. Sure, leaves and trees and bushes surrounded the Ice Heart Pack, but this one was different. This was where mother and I lay when something was either troubling us or we just wanted some mother/daughter time. I pressed my hand to the rough bark of the tree and smiled. It felt like my mother was right there with me.Then the next moment she was.She was just as beautiful as I remembered. When she grew ill, her hair lost its lustre. Her eyes lost their shine. Her smile lost its sparkle. But I still thought that my mother was the most amazing and beautiful woman in the world. And there she was in front of me, looking as healthy as she was befor

Kai's POVIt took everything in my power not to lunge for the traitorous Alpha and rip out his throat. He had the decency not to make eye contact with me. In fact, he kept his head bent low. Some might have thought it was out of respect for the royals in the room, but I knew it was out of shame. For whatever reason, he had betrayed us, and betrayal wasn’t something I took lightly. Father dismissed the witnesses first and offered them a guard to escort them back to their rooms. Then, father dismissed his sons, barely giving us a second glance as he waved his hand, looking stressed. Good. I hoped he had nightmares about this decision.I opened my mouth to say something, to argue more, but Alex grabbed me by the arm and hauled me out of our father’s office. I almost fought him, ready to let Carter out to tear my brother a new one, but once we were far enough away from the office, Alex sighed and ran his fingers through his hair.“Fuck. That was our chance to get Alyssa out,” He murmured

Alexander's POVThe room suddenly became more intense as witnesses were called. My mother requested Luna Vivian and some doctor who had been brought from the Red Maple Camp. Supposedly, he was a witness to Alyssa’s disappearance. On the other hand, we requested Alpha Evan, telling him that it was time to reveal what Vivian had done and what she planned to do to Alpha Henry of the Ice Heart Pack.Everyone was quiet, even Kai, who was still glaring daggers at my mother. We were instructed by our father not to let our wolves out, so that there would be no intimidation for either party. However, I could feel Caspian growling beneath my skin, begging to be let out to find Alyssa and protect her. The sinking feeling in my stomach was still there, but I tried to convince myself that maybe the cells were the safest place she could be at the moment.Then why did I still feel so uneasy?Once we were all gathered, a servant locked the door so that none of us could run or somehow manipulate thing
