LOGINRoman’s POV"I promised that these will be your pets, and see, they are yours," I continued, my voice soft and full of assurance. "And now it’s time to fulfill another promise."Convincing her to do what we wanted wasn’t the only goal I had.By doing this, I wanted to assure her that I would always fulfill her wishes and keep my word. I wanted to teach her to trust, which she had lost long ago.I wanted to tell her that the entire world might break her trust, her heart, but I wouldn’t. I wanted her to trust me, my words. I wanted her to trust in us."Want to come with me?" I asked, to break her out of her shock.She nodded lightly, still unable to accept it entirely.She was like a child who needed to learn emotions from the start, and I was ready to teach her.I offered her a smile and said, "Then we need to get ready." I observed her face and dress. It wasn’t bad at all in my eyes, but I wanted to do what we had planned for her. "You need to dress up nicely and look good to see your
Roman’s POVAt last, the day of the Moon Festival arrived. Just as on the previous day, the five of us remained at home.After the drug incident with Eira, the previous day, the household had sunk into uneasy quiet. She spent her hours with her pets, drifting between eating, sleeping, and ignoring our very presence, as if it had become her daily ritual.Meanwhile, the rest of us continued our work within these walls. Kael and I were tied up in meetings.Rafe busied himself repairing shattered devices and scouring through data, pressing his sources to uncover more about the incident with Alice.Lucian and Jason had their spies moving across territories, searching for traces of Eira’s child, her grandparents, and getting more information about the Alpha of the RavenClaw Pack.But today was different. Today was the Moon Festival. All work was set aside, this one day reserved for her.We had made plans, kept little surprises ready, hoping to bring her into the spirit of the festival.We k
Lucian’s POVShe tried to wrench herself free, her voice sharp and venomous. "I don’t need his protection. Or yours. So you just go and fuck yourself."Damn! Just the mention of Kael was enough to anger her. Poor blackwolf.Her words did not anger me. Instead, I kept her firmly in place, my arm still around her waist.She glared at me with fire in her eyes. "Let me go, you jerk.""Alright," I murmured, then leaned in to steal a quick peck on her lips before retreating my hand and freeing her.She froze, stunned. Her eyes widened, lips parted. For a moment, she looked almost lost to the shock of it."Want another before you leave?" I asked with amusement.But the surprise quickly gave way to fury. She shoved me back with what little strength she could muster. I let her push me away."Bastard!" she spat, storming off the bed."Wait—you’re not allowed to take the stairs," I warned, moving after her. But she ignored me, already heading for the door.Before she could place even one foot do
Kael’s POVI stepped out of the house and stood in the open, my gaze fixed blankly ahead. Morning sunlight spread its warmth over the land, yet all I felt was darkness pressing around me. The cold breeze that should have been soothing only pierced me, sharp as a thousand needles against my skin.Because my heart was hurting.The way she had looked at me—as though I were a monster—it cut deeper than any wound. Of all people in this world, I should have been the last one she feared. I should have been her shield, her comfort, the one whose presence meant safety from every harm. Yet I was the one who terrified her most.Why? Why did she fear the black wolf so much?Just then, Rafe, who had followed me out, came to stand at my side. I did not turn to him. He had always been able to see through me in ways I hated."Want it?" he asked, holding out a cigarette.I plucked one from the pack, and he lit it for both of us with a flick of his lighter.We smoked in silence, the air thick with unsp
Lucian’s POVThe moment her panic flared, all of us rose to our feet, eyes fixed on the screen. She was staring at something that terrified her to the core—yet the drawing room was empty.Hallucinations. Grimhaze was taking hold.Still, we held ourselves back. We had to see it through, to know exactly what she was facing in her mind. Her scream ripped through the speakers, sharp and raw, tearing straight into our hearts."No one moves," I ordered, forcing calm into my voice. "Just a few more moments. Then I’ll go and give her the antidote."I could feel their reluctance, their instincts screaming as loud as mine to rush to her. But just like me, they forced themselves to remain still."Go away!" Her cries echoed again, more desperate. "Vixen, Fluffy, go! Go away! That wolf will kill you!"The words struck us like claws. ’So it’s the black wolf she is seeing.’She trembled as if her sanity itself was being devoured. Her voice shook with desperation as she pleaded for her pets. Her frai
Keal’s POVEira had fallen asleep in that soft mattress by the glass window. Her pets huddled by her side. I went to her and gently carried her in my arms, making sure her sleep won’t be disturbed.I could feel my four brothers’ gazes on me as they must be still surprised at my actions. But I chose to ignore them, while they didn’t dare ask me a thing.Inside my room, I placed her in the bed. Another night I would be spending with her, a peaceful night and devoid of any torment that I had been going through for the past six years.Now I know the reason of that pain. I truly deserved every bit of it.I turned off the lights, got into the bed, and as if staring to be closer to her since ages, I held her in my arms. Surrounded by her presence, her scent, the world felt quiet and peaceful.I could hear my wolf letting out a soft growl of contentment. He was at a peace as well.It should have always been like this. Her and Me. It was meant to be.We were meant to be.---Roman’s POVThe ne
Jason’s POVAfter Roman went to that bitch’s room and Kael went to his study, I looked at Lucian.Without saying a word to each other both of us walked towards the wooden stand in the drawing room that always had our trench coats hung on it and put them on.We were used to this wordless communicati
Jason’s POV"Sure," Luis replied, straightening with pride. "Yesterday, Alpha Roman visited, but I was on leave. He had to get the information from Kane." As Luis said that, he looked at Paul. "Where’s Kane?"Paul frowned slightly. "I haven’t seen him since he left with Alpha Roman. I’m not sure wh
Roman’s POV"What is it?" Kael asked, his gaze narrowing slightly."I’ll stay in the side house with her. Not here in this main house," I explained, my eyes drifting to the cozy structure visible through the floor-to-ceiling glass window of the drawing room.It wasn’t far. Just a few meters away, s
Jason’s POVThe next morning, I began preparing breakfast for all of us. With one more added to our number, I now had to cook for her as well.I sighed, helpless and irritated. J’ust for Roman’s sake, so he won’t lose his shit again. Otherwise, I wouldn’t lift a finger for that bitch.’I rummaged t
