Layla POV

I closed the door behind myself and walked along the hall way, I was a little tired but I was glad I had this out of the way.

The hallway path stretched out in front of me, the polished stone floors gleaming, and a maid bowed to me before hurriedly retreating into a side door that likely led to good kitchen.

My father’s words about the mating ceremony were still echoing in my mind, filling my thoughts with a tangled web of questions.

Who was this Alpha Damon Blackwood, and why had Melody—or her family—agreed to such an arrangement?

As I neared my room, the faint drag of hurried footsteps reached my ears. I didn't have to turn around to know who it was —Pearl, she approached me with a wide smile and me a relieved expression.

“Lady Melody!” she exclaimed slightly out of breath. her voice a mix of relief and excitement.

“I was just coming to check on you. "

“Thank goodness I found you, I’ve been looking everywhere for you.” I offered her a small smile, unsure of what else to

    Layla’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

    Asher’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

    Layla’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

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.’’

    Asher’s POVLast night had been reckless. I was losing control of myself and it irritated me beyond my imagination. The evening played in my head. I had kissed Luna Melody.I pranced like a hungry wolf in the room. My obsession with Layla had to end or it would eventually ruin me. But then…I was very convinced that I was right last night. When I called her Layla and she looked back, it felt just right. Why was she at the temple alone at night too? Why was she bothered about the death of Layla?The kiss had been short and wild. Just when I thought she had surrendered to me, she pushed me off, her eyes blaring hot with anger. Now, I’d made a fool of myself. And I hated being made a fool of.I sent for Alpha Nathan.He looked at me as though he could see right through me, but I knew he had no idea why he was seated in front of me before the break of dawn.

    Damon’s POVIt took only a few minutes of her absence for me to get restless. I stared at the bed she had been sitting on, anger twisting through my gut.I was angry that she had walked away, putting a distance between us again. It only confirmed the suspicions I had of her. But part of me felt guilt. Guilt that I had pushed too far by constantly insisting she was cheating on me with Alpha Asher.I exhaled roughly and dragged myself to my feet, reaching for my tunic. I would apologize and we would find a way around our unique problem.Everywhere was quiet and still except for the quiet sound of my boot down the corridors. I looked at the garden, hoping she had gone to find solace among flowers as she usually would, but silence greeted my persistent calling of her name.She wasn’t in any of the rooms I checked and the guards hadn’t seen her either. I turned a corner and nearly collided with Hunter. His sharp eyes scanned me with apprehension before settling into their usual calm.‘’Alp
