LOGINChapter 81Elara's PovIn the silence of the night, while we both stood confused, I made a decision in the darkness. I wasn't brave or ready for vengeance. I didn't have the heart for it, but I've run out of options.Rowan refused to say a word about the elders or where they were and I was already exhausted. I walked further into the dark, but didn't feel Nyelle beside me. I stopped in my tracks and threw my hands around."Nyelle." I called softly. But was met with an eerie silence. I pushed back the thoughts in my heart and questioned and threw my hands around, but nothing. Just the same silence and suddenly, the babies kicked. I fell to the floor in pain and felt the odd presence around me."Nyelle." I called, this time, my voice carried power and shook the place."Yes?" Her voice was shaky. She hadn't stopped trembling since I woke up."Why have you been quiet all these while? Please take me to Lily's mother." I expected her to say something, grab my shawl for me, but all I got in
Evelyn's POVThe sun burned down on the burial ground. Only rogues and thieves were buried at this hour.And here I was, weak and powerless, forced to bury my son.My hands shook as I gripped the shovel. The ground refused to open. Without my wolf, I was nothing. I pressed harder, forcing myself to keep the tears from falling.The guard supervising me spat to the side and shoved me into the sand.“Faster, bitch.”I flinched, about to challenge him, but lowered my eyes. This is what omegas do.But one question kept ringing in my head.Why was I reborn when Kai cut the ties?In a century, only one wolf was given the grace to be reborn. Why did the Goddess pick me despite being cursed by my mate? And strangely, I had been reborn in the body of another.Slowly, I picked up the fragile body of my son, laid him in the ground, and began covering him with dirt.“Don't cry,” I consoled myself.When I was done, I stared at the mound of fresh earth.“My baby is down there.”The words barely left
Chapter Seventy-NineAURELIA EVERDAWNI woke up with the taste of blood on my tongue and the pain of my sister's sword between my ribs.The scent of grey candles and blood orange drifted through my old chambers. I sat up. I was back to the day of the mate-selection, the day I chose my mate.Heaving a sigh of relief, I rubbed my hands on my temple when I heard the loud moans come through the corridor.I sat up fast. The moans came from the guest suite left for the dragon heir, which, in my previous life, had remained empty until after the ceremony.I stepped out only in my thin linen shift, with no makeup. In my previous life, I'd spent an hour fussing over my appearance, desperate to look worthy of Theron, but not now.I pushed the door open without knocking and there lay my sister, Vesper, her hair disheveled, lips swollen, and dress half-torn from her shoulders.Her body sprawled across the broad chest of Theron, the heir to the Pyraxis Dominion. His silver-black hair spilled over t
Chapter 18Evelyn's Pov"Let go of me." I yelled, trying to break free from the hand. When I suddenly felt something shift in me. My temper. Shit."Rita, hey it's just me." Mira's voice said. I struggled to my feet now and a torch flew past my shoulder and hit the snow.Steam rose where it touched. I stumbled backwards.Mira pulled me up immediately."Don't stop," she said.My lungs burned and my legs didn't feel like mine anymore.We broke through into the outer tree line. They were still coming. They wanted me dead. The people always rejected me in every form. Now it felt like a pattern.Mira pulled me behind a fallen log."Stay down," she said. I tried to steady my breathing.But my body wasn't cooperating the way I needed it to."I can't keep doing this," I whispered.Mira looked at me. "Then don't think about them, just try to survive first."The mob chased us through the snow. Someone released their wolf, and its growl echoed through the trees, muffled by the heavy snowpack.I c
Chapter 77Elara's PovThat was the last thing I remembered. Everything coming down on me. But I didn't remember standing up or walking past the fallen vanity table, neither did I remember the shards of glass cutting my feet. Didn't remember opening the door.But I was moving with my bare feet against the cold wet floor. Someone had spilled water. Or maybe I was bleeding. I couldn't tell. I couldn't see, I just kept walking."Come." The whisper came from everywhere. Inside my head. Outside my window. Beneath my skin, everywhere I turned, I heard the whisper. It followed me."Come." It didn't stop, neither did I. My legs kept moving. I tried to stop, but my body wouldn't listen."Come." It called again when I got to the hallway. And the hallway stretched before me, but I couldn't see it. But I could feel the walls were closer than before and the air was thinner. I expected the guards to stop me from walking, but they didn't stop me.I passed them and heard their breathing, it was very
Chapter 76 Elara's PovRowan had been around me yesterday. I didn't know how much I needed his presence, it helped me a lot.When I woke up, the room was dark. I couldn't see and it took me almost five seconds to remember I was blind. I had forgotten. I reached for the lamp, but my hand found empty air.The realization hit all over again. It was fresh. I felt the exact fear I felt the first time. So I won't see my pups when I bear them?I was really blind. Maybe forever blind.Rowan was gone. I felt the cold space beside the bed where he had slept on the floor. His scent still lingered. But he wasn't here.I sat up slowly. My hand went to my stomach. The pups kicked softly, like they knew I was scared."At least you can see," I whispered. "One of us should."~~||~~||~~I needed water. I swung my legs over the side of the bed. My feet touched the cold floor. I stood, there was nothing in front of me. Good. But when I took a step.My shin slammed into the bedside table. Pain shot throu
Chapter 73Elara's PovOn the walk back home, I couldn't help but think about Nicole.The things she had told me and the things she had hidden. I swallowed. But I really needed to know what was wrong with me and my pups.Lily said something to me I would love to find out. But I would have to meet h
Chapter 72Elara's PovA hand pulled me very fast towards the stairs and clasped over my mouth. I looked up and it was Rowan."Shhh." He said slowly, almost laughing. But it wasn't funny to me."Look, you've woken the pack up. What do you think would happen if they find us in this compromising situ
Chapter 71Elara's PovThe water rippled a third time. It was still Cassian standing in the middle of his office. This time his hands braced against the desk. The sleeve of his shirt was blood stained and he looked thinner and sickly.The black veins beneath his skin had spread higher along his thr
Chapter 69Elara's PovThe well was kept a secret with my stay in the pack. Nyelle and I did well in keeping it from anyone accessing it, but the incident of that afternoon never left my mind. Rather it haunted me.Some days I took a stroll through the pack and then headed back to the well. The wel
