AEMOND'S POV

I ran my fingers over the silver edge of the picture frame I held, staring down at it with emotions running through my veins. The beautiful smile of my mother, Pandora. Every moment, I missed her. The pain of her having to suffer till death after she was banished for having me without a mate.

I had sworn to avenge her, and so far, everything is falling into place. It was just a matter of time, and justice would be served, and I'd claim what is mine. Reaching for the other item in the box beside me was a heartbreaking note she wrote to my father, but never got a chance to deliver it.

“I swear to you, mother, I will fight till the very end, and I'd make sure I get what was rightfully yours. I'd make them pay for every tear you cried!” I growled beneath my breath, clutching tight on the frame in my left hand and the letter in my right hand.

I hesitated a bit before neatly tucking them back into the box I had kept them. Moments like this one made my heart bleed. Thoughts of

    ELDER GREGORY’S POV“What the hell did you just say?” Jake barked at me, his tone dripping venom- I was sure he would have punched my face if I were a younger version of me. “Give me a reason why I should believe any word you just said to me?” he continued. “My mother never kept anything from me. So tell me why I should believe what you,” Jake spat, banging the table in front of me.I hesitated, allowing him to vent his frustration. “Look here Jake, all I did was respect your parents' wishes! All I did was be the loyal Beta to your father, Alpha Julian! It wasn't my place to spill the beans here. Get that straight!” I rose to my feet, returning the aura. I stared him squarely in the face, setting things straight.I watched as the rage in Jake’s eyes flickered at that point giving way for brokenness to surface. His shoulder collapsed as he slumped back into his seat. “Look here man, I understand what it feels right now for you figuring this out. But I can’t sit back and watch a war e

    JAKE’S POVI groggily woke up to my phone ringing, pulling me up from the moment of peace I had, away from the harsh reality that I had just lost the one person that meant everything to me. I slowly peeled my eyes open, blinking into the bright light till my room came into focus. I ran my hands across the sheets till I reached my phone, which was under my pillow. The call ended immediately.I sat up, rubbing my eyes when I spotted Lyra lying on the couch opposite me with her legs crossed, fiddling with her phone. “How long have I been out?” I asked in a hoarse tone, going through my contact list.“Ohh! You’re awake now. You’ve been out for about an hour and a half or two,” Lyra responded, crossing over to the bed. “Two hours? And it felt like I had just closed my eyes for thirty minutes,” I quipped.Lyra sat next to me with a soft smile, looking into my face. “Why are you staring at me that way?” I chuckled softly with my brows knitted together in confusion.“Nothing,” She beamed. “I

    JAKE’S POV"She's gone?" The news struck me like a sting from a fire ant. No! The maid must be out of her mind or something. I just left my mother an hour ago before coming down here. She was down, yeah! But not...not death. I scraped my seat backwards, scrambling up with my eyes popping out of their sockets in disbelief.“Damon, take Caspian back to his cell,” I said through clenched teeth, my eyes meeting Lyra as she stood breathless, racing off ahead of me. “How about...” Damon tried to speak, but I wasn't willing to listen to anything right now.“Now,” I barked at himHe nodded sharply, grabbing Caspian by the arm. Lyra was already ahead of me. I ran as fast as my legs could sprint, brushing off and pushing aside anybody who stood in my way."No..no...no, this better not be true," I whispered under my heavy breath, my heart drumming like a war drum into my ears.The door to her room was already open, and I barged into it, not pausing to knock like before. I was brought to a halt

    LYRA’S POV"Help! Help!" I heard the sound of what seemed like distant echoes, distant cries coming from somewhere, far away. It sounded muffled or perhaps hollow, like they were coming through a tunnel. Maybe it was the distant cries of galagos, also known as bush babies. They were common in this area. But it came again, this time clearer, like it was right beside me. I sprang up from the shade I lay under, my senses spiking.Tara surged within me, restless as she sniffed the air, the soil. “Something's wrong,” she whispered. “Use my senses!”I shut my eyes, linking with her. I began to hear the faintest gush of the wind, the distant rustle of dry leaves, melodies, chants of birds building their nest, and every little movement here in the wild. Then I caught the scent- they were real people. I followed it until I found them.Down in a deep, dark pit—at least a dozen of them. Pale faces. Bloodied clothes. Children clinging to their mothers. One of them looked up and screamed, “Please

    LYRA'S POVMy fist hurts as I pounded violently against Jake's chest. "Open that damn cage, Jake! Let him out!" I yelled, my voice came out rough with rage. Each word hitched with sharp breaths, my nails clawing at his shirt like they could peel reason into his heart. "You had no right! You can't just lock him up like an animal!" I kept thrashing and telling.Jake stood still, wincing from each hit I threw at him. Not a step backward. One would think he was planted at the spot. He clenched his jaw so tight that the muscles of his head twitched. His chest was rising and falling, but not in rhythm with mine. No words from him. Just utter silence that infuriated me even more."Say something! Do something! Don't you dare keep quiet on me, staring at me like I was some barking dog!" I yelled right in his face. So much, I bet he would have samples of my saliva in his eye.Then, with a suddenness that snapped me back, his hand clamped around my arm. Not harshly, but firm to keep me still. "E

    LYRA’S POV“Traitor! May the gods forbid! You deserve to die! Witch!” The clamor of the people echoed in my ear as the Chariot rolled slowly behind the scene unfolding before me.I sat on the open-roof royal chariot with Jake by my side, our fingers interlocked with each other on his thigh watching the crowd boo and throw garbage at Ella who was dragged along the road by mean guards.Partaking in the procession was Selene, who was dressed in her traditional long black robe. Her wavy silver hair cascaded down her shoulders. In her hands was the cup of shame from which Ella must drink from and forever be damned till death calls. Amidst the booing were chants of acknowledgements and praise from the people. “All Hail, Luna Lyra, The first of her name, The queen of shadowclaw!” The voices rose so loud that one would think it was my coronation day. My cheeks were as pink as those of a Barbie doll when a little girl broke through from the crowd, screaming my name and reaching towards me wi

    LYRA’S POVThe mention of the name Caspian hit me like a punch in my stomach. Caspian? What would Jake likely be having with Jake? I saw the look on his face when he mentioned Caspian’s name early. It was clearly streaked with Jealousy. On second thought, what could the truth be? Are they brothers? Hell no! Because that would be totally ridiculous.I shot Jake a side-eye long look. “What could that be?” my brow rose as I queried.I felt unease beginning to creep up under my skin as Jake hesitated in giving me a response. His face fell to the ground without a word for what felt like a century. “Come on Jake! You don’t have to kill me with suspense before you let the cat out of the bag,” I nudged his shoulder slightly, with a soft smile slowly appearing on my face.Jake finally looked up, meeting my face with an unreadable expression. “I can see you’re in love with this guy. I can hear the excitement in your tone at the mention of his name, but you don’t have to rub it in,” he threw the

    AEMOND'S POV “Sir..sir, I think we have a big problem!” A guard rushed in, panting like he had escaped an attack from a polar bear.I spun sharply. “Are you out of your damn mind?” I snapped, walking towards the guard. "How dare you barge into my chambers without knocking? I'm sure you want this day to be your last here in the pack house as a guard, right? I yelled into his face.The young man recoiled his eyes wide with fear. His face was pale, sweat gathering around his temples. “I…I’m sorry, Alpha Aemond! But it’s urgent. You need to come. Now,” he stuttered, leaning in a bow.I heaved a sigh, seeing how his body shook in fear. "And was that why you had to badge into the chambers like a mad man?” I queried him. My voice, softer and calmer than before.He didn't say another word, just words of apology. Took a long look at him and eased him off the tension in his body. "You may go. I'd be out there in a minute," I waved him off like a housefly, turning back to my seat. He wasted no
