Chapter: Chapter 76Damon’s POVMy forehead burnt hot, yet I felt cold shivers in my bones. The shiver was followed by pain - sharp and intense. The room was dark, safe for a single candle burning in a corner, and the smell of burning herbs filled my nostrils. I tried to move and intense pain shot through my bones.Memories filtered in like nightmare. Fangs in the air, charging at me. Pain as they dug into my side and tore me. The voice of Lycan Asher screaming my name. I tore off my shirt suddenly and stared at the heavy bandage over my side. I had been woken up by a nightmare, but the nightmare was indeed real.I turned with effort, clenching my teeth hard as pain shot to my feet. When I managed to get off the bed, I dragged myself to the window. I was in Crescent moon pack, I could see. A full moon was peeping underneath a small cloud. I wasn’t sure how many days I had been out but I knew the last time I was conscious, I was at the southern border with Lycan Asher.I called out my wolf. There was no a

Chapter: Chapter 75Layla’s POVI crumpled the note and tucked it under my blouse. The signed note was the only incriminating thing in that parcel and it would easily be used as evidence that Lady Melody was having an affair. It could cause damage if it got into the wrong hands. I was going to burn it tonight and no one would ever see it again.I closed the box gently and returned it back to where I had taken it from. And I wondered: Did Damon know about the letter? Has he seen it before? If he had, why was he silent about it? Was he planning to use it against me in the future?On the way out, I decided to stop at the servant’s quarters to see Pearl. There was too much going around her lately and I had to put an end to this suspense. It was my first time in the dark part of the castle. The air was damp and musty and clothes hung in lines on the corridor. I couldn’t understand how those that spent the whole day cleaning the castle could not have time to clean their quarters. Taking a turn, I stumbled on s

Chapter: Chapter 74Layla’s POVLycan Asher’s study was where my father’s study used to be, and it was heavily guarded on both ends of the corridors. It was insanely impossible to sneak in without being seen, and I had no business there. After several attempts and growing suspicions, I gave up the idea. I had to devise another means to gain access to that study. Perhaps, there was a secret door. But only Alpha Nathan would know.Alpha Damon had a smaller study beside our room. I slid into it. There could be something to find there, although I doubted he knew much about his cousin’s operations. I moved through drawers and found a lot of things that made no sense to me. There were reports, trade agreements with other packs, letters but there wasn’t much to grasp except the role of Damon. He was a diplomat.A small parcel wrapped tightly with a piece of cloth caught my attention. I pulled it out and set it on the desk. It was wrapped as though it contained something really important. My heart thrummed in m

Chapter: Chapter 73Asher’s POVThe terrain was rougher than I had expected, and it only grew rougher the farther we went. We had the option to opt for a less strenuous path through the thick woods, but there was the fear that we wouldn’t reach the southern border by moonlight. So we continued, moving through rocks and crossing fast moving streams and then a large stretch of land with no trees or water, just the sun on our backs.We were just a company of ten men, and luckily we had brought enough supplies for the trip. Damon was riding beside me, and he had been oddly quiet throughout the trip. I wasn’t up for much conversation myself. A lot was on my mind, but primarily, I was obsessed with the new information I had gotten from Alpha Nathan.The scar. It was the key to unlocking my suspicions. If she didn’t have the scar, then I would apologise to her and finally agree that Layla was indeed gone. The question that occupied my mind now was how? How was I going to find that out?I turned slightly to Damo

Chapter: Chapter 72Layla’s POVPassed out?I rushed towards the room, forgetting Cassandra and her drama. I knew something had been wrong with Pearl when I saw her that morning. My guts were hardly wrong. She was slumped in a chair by the window, her head resting on the back rest. Her skin was as pale as moonlight. She forced a smile.‘’My lady,’’ she murmured weakly. ‘’The floor just seemed to spin underneath my feet for a moment. I’m alright now.’’I crossed the room to where she sat. When I was priestess of the pack, I had learnt a bit of healing from Raven. One of the signs she had always looked out for was a burning fever. It was always a sign that something was wrong. I placed my palm on her forehead. It was not hot.‘’It’s just the stress, my lady,’’ she repeated. There was something in her eyes, something that told me it wasn’t just fatigue. She looked like she was in some sort of agony.‘’Don ’t lie to me, Pearl,’’ I said, and sent away the guards. ‘’I knew something was wrong the moment you st

Chapter: Chapter 71Layla’s POVI was awake for a long time after I returned to the room. I was disturbed because I realised late that Damon had seen my smeared lipstick. I was troubled by the kiss Asher and I had shared, and my mind was overcome with guilt.Damon didn’t return until it was very late and I pretended to be asleep. I wasn’t brave enough to face his accusing eyes. When I woke up, he was gone. They said he and Lycan Asher had left for the southern border. I had a terrible feeling about it suddenly.Pearl arrived with my breakfast, as well as to prepare me for the day. I had insisted on having my breakfasts alone in the room. I could tolerate Cassandra and Isabella during dinner.‘’Your father wishes to speak with you before he leaves, my lady,’’ she said, setting down the tray.She avoided my eyes but I could tell from her lacklustre voice and the way she carried herse;f that something was wrong.‘’Pearl,’’ I called out. ‘’Is something wrong? You don’t sound like your usual bubbly self.’’

Chapter: Chapter 82Amelia’s POV“I have to confront her” I said, “I need to, I can't just let her have her way with this. She needs to know that she's not fooling anyone anymore, this has to stop! People need to come out of her years of deceits” I added, “There's another thing too, the reason she was after your mum was because your mum found out about her secret” Kaiden further spilled.“She and her lover were so openly minded to talksabout all that was happening without a care in the world, just so carefree” he added, “I was able to leave without getting caught was because my scent can't be detected my them” he continued, “My mum knew about her secret? Was that why my aunty said those words before she died? She had told me to be careful and the people who had killed my mom were around me.“She killed my mum because of that, because she knew about her secret? isn't that vile?” I said in an outburst, I was skeptical about all of these. My dad had told me she died from a strange illness but now all finger

Chapter: Chapter 81Amelia’s POV “Have you had anything to eat?” Kadian asked, looking concerned. Earlier, I had left in a hurry to attend to Freya and her cohorts of friends. She's currently in a state of insanity and the best I could do at the moment was to dismiss her.“Don't lie to me Amelia, you don't even have to answer. I know you haven't had anything to eat, "he added, gesturing to a table filled with all kinds of food. “Kaiden..this is too much, we can't even have all this to ourselves” I exclaimed, “You don't have to worry about that, just come sit and eat” he responded, pulling a chair for me to sit. Such a gentlemanly behavior!“I'm sorry about earlier, I had an outburst and I couldn't control my choice of words” he said, his face all gloomy. I felt bad, it wasn't his fault all of this was happening. I was more than grateful for him even being on my side, for him to save a girl he never knew and for him developing feelings for me after all what had happened to me. Kaiden was the sole reason

Chapter: Chapter 80AMELIA'S Pov“I thought I could help her..” I sighed, “Don't blame yourself Amelia, it's not your fault. You can't help someone who's not ready” Kaiden encouraged.My mental health has deteriorated ever since I got In love with Freya, she has always been against me yet she wants my help. A part of me wants to help her, and the other seeks revenge. Freya had planned to kill me, and the thought of her even asking me for help after attempting to murder me still puzzles me. She has no other choice than to accept whatever she sees from me, definitely, I wasn't going to take it lightly with her. “Just make sure you're careful around them, Amelia,” Kaiden warned, “I still don't feel comfortable enough with you being around them after they tried to kill you,” he added.I understood his concerns, I had never forgotten about it but I knew I couldn't keep holding grudges against them. I was yet to forgive her for what she did, and certainly I won't be able to forget it.“I understand Kaiden, I

Chapter: Chapter 79Amelia’s PovI didn't believe Matilda would be so miserable to save Freya. She wasn't even worth everything or anything. And yet, she was pleading like there was something she still needed her for. It all seemed weird with my father staring at me in the eye while I faked who I was. The ease in his eyes and the calmness I'm his voice when I told him I could help Freya… And all I could think of was Matilda's unending please that rang in my ears. "I've been pleading with you, Lady Tatia. Kindly do something" Matilda said, her voice cracking. "Freya is suffering. We don't know what to do, but we know you have the power to help her. Please, you have to save her."My father stood beside her, his face was pale, and his expression was a mix of guilt and helplessness. "I know you could help, and I hope you can help us with that as fast as possible so I can have my daughter back alive again.” And my heart skipped a beat after hearing that, didn't he feel the connection between us? Doesn't h

Chapter: Chapter 78 Amelia’s PovI stood in the doorway, my breath choking me up from my chest as I looked around the familiar house. It felt like nothing had changed, yet everything was so different and distant.The old house, the one I had once called home, was now just a shadow of its former self. The walls, the floors, the rooms, all seemed to carry memories of a time long gone, a time I could never go back to. My heart pounded in my chest as I stepped inside, my father’s voice calling to me from the other room, a sound that felt like a distant echo. I hadn't expected to feel so overwhelmed, so emotional. But seeing him after all these years, seeing him standing there, waiting for me, was too much. I had spent so much of my life trying to forget this place, trying to escape its hold on me. And yet, here I was, back again, facing the very memories I had spent so long running from."Amelia," my father’s voice cracked, his tone full of warmth and concern. I turned toward him, while trying everything

Chapter: Chapter 77Chapter 76 Amelia's PovI had never expected to see Matilda again, but there she was, standing at the door of the pack house, her face drawn with desperation. I could see the tension in her shoulders, the weight of guilt and fear pressing down on her. I couldn’t help but feel a slight amusement stir inside me as I watched her fidget, clearly nervous and unsure of how to approach me."Lady Tatia," Matilda began, her voice shaky, "I beg of you. Please. You have to help me. My daughter... She's in danger. I don’t know what else to do. You’re the only one who can save her."Her words were desperate, pleading, but I could see the hidden calculation behind them. Matilda had always been a woman driven by her own desires, her own plans, and now, she was hoping I would fall for her act. But I wasn’t the same naive girl I once was. I had learned far too much to be swayed by her manipulations.I crossed my arms, leaning against the doorframe as I eyed her. "Save your daughter? Why would I help
