Chapter: chapter 88LILLIANA’S POVThe bang echoed through the field. That’s right, I was in a field now. Killian didn’t trust that I wouldn’t accidentally shoot the people in the shooting range so we came here instead. Training was a bitch. And it seemed he was even more determined than ever.“You’re missing the target again. I thought you were getting better at this.” He said from behind me, arms crossed.“Well, I guess you thought wrong then.” I shrugged, placing the gun back on the table next to me, “I don’t think shooting is really my style.”“You’d be wise to make it your style, or else you might turn up dead when the time comes.” He replied casually.“Who exactly are we fighting?” I asked, turning to face him.The sun was behind us, shining brightly on him, accentuating his features and his hooded eyes which appeared dark against the ethereal glow the light was providing him.“We’ve been training for weeks on end, I hardly have time for myself or to even see my friends so I think it is only right

Chapter: chapter 87I sat back in the chair, suddenly feeling tired. I thought hearing his apology would make a difference, but it didn’t; it only made me feel a sudden emptiness. Jordan and I were close, or rather, we used to be, but now it wasn't like that anymore. In fact, it was starting to feel as though the things we went through at the Crescent Moon pack meant absolutely nothing to us.“You were my rock,” I spoke up.“I-”“Let me speak.” I interrupted, a hard look on my face, “We went through so much, like you have pointed out, we only ever had each other. Everything we faced, everything they did to us. They made us lab rats, had us fight each other, but we managed to escape. And it didn’t take months for you to just throw that all away when we got here. Why?” I asked. The question that had been sitting on the tip of my tongue for the longest time ever. Why did he think it was all right for him to have just let me go, act like he never knew me, and then even go as far as to almost kill me?“When w

Chapter: chapter 86SARAH’S POVLilliana’s words about Jordan brought me some small comfort, but it didn’t really do anything to stop my worrying. Jordan, you have to hurry and wake up. I thought to myself. Despite all my ignoring him and refusing all his attempts to talk to me, it took him almost dying for me to realize that we had a lot of things that were left unsaid. I was in my room, languishing on my bed. I was exhausted but it wasn’t the physical kind. I couldn’t bring myself to stand up and return to the hospital like I usually did. It felt like I was stuck here on my bed and that it was going to swallow me up. My eyes slowly closed, and right when I was about to give in to sleep, my phone rang. A loud trilling sound that immediately had me darting up from my bed to reach for it.“Hello?” I said, my voice slightly groggy. “Hello, this is Sarah right?” A somewhat familiar voice asked.“Uh yes, this is she. Who’s asking?” I replied.“This is nurse Mabel.” The person said, Suddenly, I wasn’t so asl

Chapter: chapter 85Her words annoyed me. Of course, I cared about Lilliana, but there was no reason for me to explain the depths of my caring for her, so instead I narrowed my eyes at her.“Hmm,” her lips curled into a mean smile, “Guess someone did not like being called out like that.” Then she eyed me before finally speaking, “Oh she’s fine. Thriving actually. Last time I was there her wolf resurfaced.”Her wolf? My eyes widened a bit. Oh yeah, that’s right. She was a wolfless trash pup. It made it easy for me and others to belittle her. I wondered if she had shifted but I had no intention of asking her that.“I see. So her wolf finally came out. Guess she’s no longer latent then. That’s good to hear.” I said with a small shrug.“Right. Of course.” She affirmed, but it was very obvious that she did not believe I was happy about Lilliana’s development, and again, I did not care.“Well, this is your room,” I said, stopping in front of her door, my eyes a steady beam on her.“What?” She asked, “You’re go

Chapter: chapter 84The meeting continued with zero interruptions from me this time. I merely listened as Clarissa gave info on the guard placement, shift changes, where was the best to sneak in from, and all that.“No.” Alpha Richard said, “We won’t be sneaking in like cowards.” He shook his head. “The other Alphas and I agree. We won’t hide the way Killian hides behind his raids. It will be a full frontal attack. Let him face our full wrath.”“At least divide your forces. Attack from the front and the back.” she tried, “Wouldn’t that be a better plan?”My father glared at her, his fury at her words evident in his face. Realizing she had offended him, she tried to backpedal, “I didn’t mean any offence. I just have something that I want to try and you doing a full frontal attack would end things too quickly.” She said, “It’s something I came up with, and my apprentice, well, technically she is now my former apprentice, helped me to stabilize it.”My eyes perked up at the sound of her former apprentice.

Chapter: chapter 83ADRIAN’S POVThe pack was rife with activity. Everyone was hard at work doing the tasks my father had assigned them. The warriors were hard at work training while others were replenishing resources and weapons. I walked past all of them and made my way to the pack house. Mother and father were surrounded by the pack elders in the kitchen. On a large table that was moved in for their meeting, there were papers scattered around it, with some of them bearing markings of different areas.“And you are certain this is the right place?” He said to the woman next to him.“Yes, it is.”She wore simple jeans and a top, her hair was tied up in a bun, and her red eyes were looking down at the map on the table. Though I had wondered who she was, her eyes told me she was from the Blood Fang pack. She was probably the informant my father once mentioned. At my entrance, my father looked up.“Ahah, Adrian, there you are. It took you long enough to get here.” He said.I approached their table and glanc

Chapter: chapter 152It was obvious to me, but not to them apparently, that my wolf went into latency from the trauma of having my family die right in front of me. I scoffed, and they call me the dumb one. An education was another privilege the pack denied me- I didn’t deserve it, their words, not mine, that didn’t stop me though, as I spent most nights sneaking into the library to find books, and I listened in on the conversations wolves my age were having. I wasn’t some desolate maiden in need of a rescue from her circumstances, I had a plan to get out of here soon, by my nineteenth birthday, which was months away, I know, but still the thought of being free from these people was what kept me going. The kitchen was clean now and I sat on the floor to eat my breakfast- the remnants of what they’d eaten. Yes, on the floor, because Selena forbade me to sit on their mahogany chairs and stain them with my filthy self. I ate slowly trying to savor every bite, it might end up being my last meal for the day.

Chapter: chapter 151Logan paced his room, his steps forceful and heavy, each one leaving an angry thud behind it. Christa was on the bed and was also in a foul mood of her own. Logan’s words at the party painted the picture that he would willingly toss her aside if it meant that he got to be with Marybeth and that was completely unacceptable. She would not be tossed aside like trash. She had thought Logan was like all men she had come across, weak to a pretty and helpless woman and she had planned to milk him of that. To monopolize his attention and his money, she had ruined his marriage, made him neglect his wife and son and that in turn had led to the death of his child, though it’s not like it was a difficult thing to do, if anything it had been relatively easy because Logan had still been hung up on her, so her return was like him getting back something that had been taken away from him. Logan was a way for her to enjoy life after her previous plans had been ruined. The man she had run away with had

Chapter: chapter 149“Did you see their faces?” Marybeth said cheerfully as she chuckled. She was with Cassian in his car, as she had decided to join him. She had just finished telling her family how she would see them later. “You did great out there my dear,” Jael said to her daughter, drawing her into her embrace, “You were calm and showed just how far above them you really are.” She smiled. “Yeah, plus the looks on their faces were absolutely hilarious. It took everything in me not to laugh.” Wayne grinned. “It's good you didn't,” Marybeth replied. “So, you're coming home with us?” Jael asked. Marybeth turned to look at Cassian who was waiting patiently by his car, then she faced her mother and shook her head, “No, not today. I'll be leaving with Cassian.” Jael shot her daughter a knowing smile, “Alright then. You can also tell him that I've decided to hire a planner for the ceremony. Neither of you will need to worry about a thing.” “Thanks, Mom.” She smiled. She stood there watching them as th

Chapter: chapter 1495 years laterI held the pregnancy test in my hands,staring at the two lines showing on it. My heart was pounding in excitement and uncertainty. I was pregnant with Dameon's kid.I took in a deep breath, walking out of the bathroom to where he sat on the bed,waiting in anticipation. He looked at me, eyes wide, searching for an answer within my expression.I teared up a bit, nodding, and within seconds he jumped up from the and crushed me against his chest. I hugged him back with all my strength, sniffling into his shirt as he kisses me all over my head,then my forehead, and then leaning down to my lips.I smiled as he pressed our foreheads together, his eyes wet and glistening with tears. "Really?" he asked softly.I nod. "You're going to be a father," i whispered softly to him, cupping his face in my hands.At my words, he buried his face in my neck, pulling me onto the bed. "There are no words to describe...how happy I am right now," he murmured against my skin, his stubble tick

Chapter: chapter 148The moment the door closed behind us, the world was silent.Dameon’s eyes locked on mine—dark with longing, but soft with love. He stepped closer, his hands on my waist, drawing me in slowly, giving me time to say no. But I didn’t want to. I never wanted anything more than this.He kissed me—deep, deliberate, and unhurried. His lips moved over mine like he had all the time in the world, like he was learning me all over again. I melted into him, fingers tangling in his hair, the heat between us blooming into something undeniable.He trailed kisses down my neck, each one slower than the last, until I was trembling in his arms. The way he touched me—reverent and sure—made my heart race. It wasn’t rushed or careless; it was full of meaning, each movement deliberate, asking, Are you ready?And I was.We moved together to the bedroom, where he undressed me with a mix of awe and care. He took his time, like every inch of me was something precious. The cool air brushed my skin, but I was alre

Chapter: chapter 147A week after the battleI woke up and checked beside me, to see that my mate was no longer in bed, I touched his side of the bed to find out that it was cold. I called his name around the house but there was no response. I started panicking wondering where he went. I rushed back to the bedroom to pick up my phone when I noticed a letter on the bed stand. Dameon had written it. I read the content of the letter, he said he had a surprise waiting for me and that I should get ready as my friends were already on their way to the house to get me ready for the surprise. I quickly got into the shower to freshen up and as I got out, I heard the doorbell ring.I ran down the stairs to open the door, Brianna and Lia stood outside holding some package. Lia held her makeup kit while Brianna was holding whose content I couldn't see.Brianna and Lia beamed at me the moment I opened the door."Surprise!" They said in unison, pushing past me with an air of excitement." What's going on?" I asked, sti

Chapter: chapter 146Dameon stopped and turned to me.I shakily walked over, wincing in pain and somewhat limping from my wounds.I could see how much it scared Dameon,to see me so injured but I continued on, my face stone cold as my gaze was on my stepfather."Willow! Willow , you came for me, my girl.My sweet little girl. Please help me.Please forgive me, my daughter," he begged, the desperation evident in his voice. His eyes were glazed over, wide as he watched me from what was left of his body. I couldn't look into those eyes. I had always kept my head down, terrified of how he would hurt me if I dared be anything other than submissive and obedient.But surprisingly I found myself looking into them now without fear."No.""You're my daughter-""No, I'm not. I won't help you. I would never help you.You deserve this. I hope you rot in hell.” "Y-you're the one that did this to me,you runt!" He growled, doing away with the sweet talk now that he saw that it was not working. As if a disgusting, half-deadma

Chapter: chapter 145"Dad, at least I need to see," I begged my father, who was rifling through Eric's kitchen drawers to find something for Ria to eat. The poor omega looked ashen, a thin body of bones in Jake's arms. He couldn't stop staring at his mate, completely mesmerized. Ria kept her eyes shut, holding her heavy stomach weakly "You will do no such thing. This is a battle, Willow. It has nothing you should have to witness," "My mate is out there, fighting for me. For us!" "Your father is right. It's going to scare you," Luke interjects. "Luke, I was mutilated in a cellar for the majority of my childhood. I am already scarred," I snapped back. I regretted it as soon as I saw the pained expression that overtook my father's features. But what could I do? It was the truth. Luke had no idea how to respond, scratching at his head and staring at a stain on the wall like it was the most interesting thing he had ever seen. I was about to apologize to both of them when I heard the roar of a veng

Chapter: chapter 144An hour went by, and the house was Silent. The omega dosed up against the wall, heavy dark circles underneath her eyes. I still didn't know her name. She kept her frail arms crossed over her belly protectively. The sight of how full she was made me uneasy. How will she be able to run if we try to escape? What if she fell on his stomach, hurting the pup? So many horrible thoughts raced through my mind when suddenly a loud boom rang out. The omega and I were startled, both looking toward the door. Another bang, and then we saw that the metal door was denting. Another, and another. I shrieked as it broke, sending the door flying into the room. It missed both of us, but I still hid behind my hands. "Oh, willow, my baby girl," my father's voice rang out and I dared to look at the intruder. My heart filled with affection and I leapt up, running into his arms. "Daddy.!" I sobbed, burying my face in his chest. "Y-you're here.!" "Yes, I'm here," he stroked a hand over my hair and pres
