LOGINBastian’s POVThe cage was cold, colder than it had been the night before.I sat against the stone wall with my knees pulled up, staring through the iron bars at the empty corridor outside.My body still hurt from the punishment. Every movement pulled at the wounds across my back.But the pain wasn't what kept me awake.It was Mila's voice.Come and work for us.I scoffed quietly, the woman was insane.She had walked into my prison, watched me get beaten by the Demon King, fought me, defeated me, and then calmly asked me to betray the man I'd served for years.And somehow.. i was considering it.A low growl came from inside my head.My wolf.You're really going to work for Mila?I closed my eyes, if that's what it takes to get out of this hellhole.You hate her."I know."You hate Knox even more."I know."My wolf went quiet and I stared at the floor, I didn't care whether I liked Mila.I didn't care whether Knox wanted me dead.I needed to get out, this place had become a grave and
Elise’s POVI looked down at the tiny bundle in my arms and smiled, my son.Even after everything that had happened, it still felt strange saying those words in my head.My son.He was sleeping peacefully against my chest, his tiny face relaxed, his little mouth slightly open. One of his hands was curled into a fist beside his cheek.I gently brushed my finger over his soft cheek.He was so small and perfect.I still couldn't believe he was here.The last few days had been terrifying, husband early arrival and the attack, the emergency surgery.But somehow, we had made it through and now I was sitting in bed with my baby in my arms.Eric sat beside me, staring at him with the biggest smile I'd ever seen on his face."He has your nose," he whispered.I laughed softly. "No, he has yours."Eric shook his head. "Definitely yours."I looked down at our son again. "Have you thought about his name?"Eric became quiet. "Actually"He looked at the baby. "I have."I raised an eyebrow. "You've
Henshaw’s POVFor a few seconds, neither of us moved. Elliot stood in the bathroom doorway, staring at me.I stood outside, equally frozen and then his eyes widened.“Oh.”He immediately looked down and I followed his gaze and looked down, I looked away so quickly my neck almost hurt.“I—”Elliot reached back into the bathroom and grabbed his towel.He wrapped it around himself hurriedly, then stepped out.I moved aside and neither of us said anything.He walked past me.I kept my eyes firmly on the opposite wall until I heard him disappear into the room.Only then did I breathe.I rubbed a hand over my face.What the hell was wrong with me?I had seen him naked, that was all, it didn't have to mean anything. People accidentally saw each other naked all the time.Right?I turned toward the bathroom and shut the door behind me, I felt so hot, I needed a bath, a cold one, preferably.I undressed and stepped under the water, letting it run over my head.But instead of clearing my mind,
Mila’s POVAfter a whole day of everyone going through the other books in the library, we were very tired. I waited until everyone was asleep before I closed my eyes.The palace was quiet around me.Knox was beside me, his breathing was slow and steady, one arm resting across the mattress between us. Millie was asleep in the room nearby with Greta watching over her tonight.But sleep wasn’t what I wanted, I needed answers.And there was only one person who could possibly give them to me.Bastian.I closed my eyes and reached for the strange connection I had discovered between dreams and the demon realm.The moment my magic touched it, the world around me disappeared and darkness swallowed me.Then I heard a scream, my eyes snapped open.I was standing in a long stone corridor.The air was cold and the walls were black, covered with strange symbols that glowed faintly red. I had been here before, but something was different this time, there was blood on the floor.I followed the so
Elliot’s POVI stared at the door for the hundredth time, I stared at Henshaw, since I met Luna Mila, I’ve never had a single day of rest.Now I was locked up here and didn’t know where to escape from, “This is ridiculous.”Henshaw didn’t answer, he had given up already.He was standing near the fireplace, staring at the same stone entrance that had swallowed us both.I walked toward it again.I grabbed the handle and pulled harder, it didn’t budge, I growled and my wolf huffed.He was awfully silent these days.“Move.”Henshaw stepped aside and I tried pushing it then I kicked it and my foot hurt, I stepped back and stared at the door.“Maybe there’s a mechanism.”Henshaw crouched down and examined the bottom. “There isn’t.”“Maybe we can break it.”“With what?”I looked around, there was a chair here, so I grabbed it and Henshaw immediately stood up “Elliot.”“What?”“You’re not breaking a magical door with a chair.”“Why not?”“Because it’s a magical door.”I dropped the chair. “
Note: This is a spicy chapter please, if you can’t read it you can go to the next chapter, enjoy xxMila’s povAfter we closed Millie’s door shut and walked back to the room.Halfway down the hall he turned and backed me against the wall, and kissed me like he’d been starving. His mouth was insistent, his tongue sliding against mine in a deliberate claim. I made a small sound into the kiss and felt him smile against my lips before he deepened it, one of his hand sliding up to cup the side of my neck, his thumb stroking the sensitive spot just below my ear.“Been waiting for this all day,” he murmured, his voice low and rough. I shivered. “Then stop talking and do something about it”His answer was to pull me int the room and press me against the wall, then he got down on his knee.Knox tugged my leggings and panties down in one smooth motion, the cool air hitting my bare skin for half a second before his hands were on my thighs, spreading them wider. He looked up at me once, his
Mila’s POVThe dungeon smelled like damp stone and sweat.The moment they threw me inside the cage, the iron door slammed shut with a finality that echoed far deeper than the sound itself.I let out a fustrated groan and kicked the doors, Bastian was so evil for making me go through this.The momen
Knox’s POV“Call the healer!”My voice tore through the hall, sharp and raw, but it felt like it wasn’t loud enough.Nothing felt loud enough because my mother was dying in front of me.Blood spilled from her lips as she coughed again, her body trembling under my hands. I dropped to my knees beside
Mila's pov…Kreda was draining and annoying, I almost punched her in the face.I reached the palace gates and pushed it open everywhere was dark already except for the torches of fires lining the place. Guards stood at their usual posts, but none of them stopped me as I walked inside.Some nodded
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.
