LOGINEric’s POVI knew something was wrong the moment Elise woke me up “Eric”Her voice was barely a whisper.I opened my eyes immediately.She was sitting upright beside me, one hand pressed against her stomach and the other gripping the blanket.“What happened?”She shook her head.“I don’t know. I just… I feel strange.”I sat up and reached for her, her skin was warm.“Elise, look at me.”She did and her eyes were hazy.The pregnancy had become harder every day.She was farther along now, and simple things that used to be easy had become exhausting. Walking across the room left her breathless. Sleeping was difficult. She had been experiencing sharp pains more frequently, and sometimes I caught her pretending she was fine because she didn’t want me to worry.But I worried anyway, i always would.“Does it hurt?”“A little.”“How much?”She gave me a weak smile. “You ask that every time.”“Because you keep telling me you’re fine when you’re not.”She sighed.“I’ll be fine.”I didn’t bel
Conrad’s POVThe first scream came from the eastern side of the pack.My wolf slammed against my mind so hard that pain shot through my skull as I ran back to the pack to hold the gates.They’re here.I was already moving.I grabbed my sword from the table and shoved open the door just as one of the guards came sprinting down the corridor.“Enforcer!”“What?”His face was pale. “They broke through the eastern boundary.”My stomach dropped. “How many?”“We don’t know.”I ran.The moment I stepped outside, the smell of blood hit me.Smoke curled above the trees, turning the night sky gray. Wolves were shifting everywhere, some charging toward the eastern boundary while others dragged injured pack members away from the fight.And beyond the trees I saw hundreds of glowing eyes, my wolf snarled.They came for us.I tightened my grip around my sword.“Hold the line!” I shouted. “Nobody lets them reach the houses!”A roar answered me and the demons charged.Everything exploded into chaos.
Mila’s POVI couldn’t shake what we’d heard.The moment Knox and I returned to the inn, I knew we couldn’t keep it to ourselves.The road to the demons and the clue about the wolves being kidnapped.The strange stories we’d heard from the women at the coffee shop.And the fact that the road supposedly led directly toward demon territory, too many things were beginning to connect.I pushed open the door to our room, Knox was already inside I closed the door behind me.“We need everyone.”A few minutes later, everyone was gathered in one of the larger rooms downstairs.Marcus sat beside Hansel and Caleb leaned against the wall, arms crossed.Sasha and Marie sat together, while Elliot and Henshaw stood near the window.Teddy came in with Michelle and Millie.The moment he entered, I noticed Michelle’s expression, she looked tired and nervous.I didn’t have time to dwell on it, I stepped forward.“We went into town this morning.”Caleb raised an eyebrow. “You and Knox went sightseeing a
Conrad’s POVThe pack had been strangely lonely and quiet since everyone left, so this was his Caleb felt everytime we left him behind.I stood outside the main hall, watching the last few pack members finish their evening duties.With Marcus gone, there was no point pretending things were going to run normally.Someone had to keep everything together and that someone was me.I had spent most of the day checking patrols, making sure the borders were secure, settling arguments between pack members, and listening to Caleb complain from miles away through the messages he’d somehow managed to send.I also spoke with Hansel and she made sure to tell me how annoying Caleb was and I laughed, I wa doing tha more often these days.Marcus’s pack wasn’t hard to control, unlike Knox’s which was filled with hot headed wolves.I was walking back toward the main building when I felt it a presence, my wolf immediately growled, it was a dark powerful energy.I stopped walking and my hand went immedi
Mila’s POVI woke up with a jump and grabbed my neck to see if I was still being choked by the king, I wasn’t.For a few seconds, I stayed still, staring at the ceiling then everything from the night before came rushing back.The demon realm and the wolves trapped in cages, his threat and how determined he was, I sat up quickly.Knox stirred beside me. “You’re awake.”“Yeah.”He looked at me carefully. “Did you sleep at all?”“Not really.”His expression softened. “You had another nightmare?”I hesitated. “I don’t know if it was a nightmare.”Before he could ask anything else, there was a small knocks and the door opened.Millie peeked inside. “Fairy?”I smiled, I didn’t know when she had woken up and left the bed. “Good morning.”She walked in. “Can we go outside?”Knox looked at me and I nodded.“Sure.”A little fresh air sounded like exactly what I needed.The three of us left the inn after breakfast.The city looked completely different during the day.The streets were busy and
Hansel’s POVWe stayed outside Teddy’s room for far too long.Long enough for my legs to start hurting and definitely long enough for Caleb to yawn three times. Marcus sighed and bent to my ear to finally whisper, “We’re getting nothing.”I sighed, he was right.We had been crouched beneath the window like three extremely suspicious burglars, listening to fragments of a conversation that had only made everything worse.Michelle had cried and Teddy had slapped her and we we still didn’t know why.Caleb leaned against the wall. “We should go.”I looked at him. “You’re giving up?”“I’m not giving up. I’m choosing not to get arrested in a strange city.”Marcus nodded. “We’ve learned enough tonight.”“Have we?”“We know they’re hiding something.”“We already knew that.”“We know Michelle is afraid of Teddy.”I looked toward the window. “That’s enough for me.”Caleb sighed.“So what’s the plan?”I thought for a moment. “We ask her tomorrow.”Marcus looked at me.“Directly?”“Yes.”“And if
Knox Mercer……. I didn’t want a Luna. That was the truth no one seemed willing to accept. The council chamber was quiet, and I sat in my chair while Conrad and Caleb watched me. Generations of Alphas were carved into the walls, staring down at me like judges waiting for me to fail or slip up.
7years later…..Mila's pov…The car was silent, as I sat at the back of Gamma Rodney's car, the car hummed along the highway, and every flickering streetlight that passed outside made my heart beat faster. My stomach twisted, and my hands were fisted so tightly that my nails dug into my palm, almo
