*ADRIENNE'S P.O.V*IT FELT LIKE my situation was getting worse by the hour. I still had not seen my brother, maybe he didn't know I was even here. Neither had I gotten word about Lydia.On a brighter note, I wasn't chained. So j spent most of my time lying down flat against the floor where the most breathable air was. Staying upright would just have me keep inhaling the wolfsbane that burnt my lungs.Why do I have to suffer this way? I would constantly ask myself.Why was I cursed with this bloodwolf nonsense?The gates opened and Kaytlin walked in, followed by Alpha Charles and Jermaine. I looked at them. Sheer hatred radiated from my gaze."As you can see, sirs," Katlyn said. "We have her very calm. She does not have a choice or risk exertion as that would make her pant and breathe in more wolfsbane.""Isn't the wolfsbane going to kill her?" Charles asked. They all held a large wet handkerchief
*KINCAID'S P.O.V*A FEW HOURS ago...He paced the room in agitation. "You trust I'll make the right decision," he muttered under his breath. "How good is that going to do to me?" He walked the length of the room. He took the bottle of scotch that sat on his table and took a long swig of it. He walked to the window and looked out."THE full moon was tonight," He said to himself. "I have to wait until it is over, i can't afford to make any more stupid decisions."He looked at the sky. "I don't know what to do," He groaned. And now Lucy has disappeared again. She kept making it harder to even defend her. Sometimes he wondered why even tried to, but the truth was that he pitied her. He knew what she had been through in her life - Her father had chosen her mother out of fear of growing old alone. After they got married, he started abusing the family. Eventually, Lucy ran away from her pack at the age of 9 and stumbled into the High Moon pack where alpha Ezra took her in. He knew if he did
*KINCAID'S P.O.V*With each step, pain radiated through his whole body, making him grit his teeth but he did not slow down. He could hear the shouts behind him as the guards chased him down. He was running at a slower pace because Adrienne had gone limp in his arms again.She had woken up briefly and muttered his name like she could not believe it then she had gone unconscious again.He would not have liked anything better than to drop Adrienne carefully and face the oncoming wolves head-on. He wanted to tear them to pieces, but Adrienne required more instant attention, so his primary focus was to get her back to his pack as soon as possible.After running for 30 minutes, he could not hear the people chasing him anymore. He smirked, even with carrying his mate and with a broken shoulder, they could not catch up.Now that he was not bothered about being caught, he looked down at the lady in his arms. How could I be so foolish to treat her as I have? I wondered looking at her pale feat
*ADRIENNE'S P.O.V*My consciousness came back to me slowly. It was like I was in a small boat in the middle of a large rough sea. The sounds from my surroundings floated away and came back louder.I slowly became aware of my body. I could feel my fingers and toes, I was lying on a bed. A bed... the last thing I remembered was the poison in the air and Katlyns grinning eyes behind the mask as she pumped the cell full of wolfsbane. I had collapsed on the floor but now, I pressed my fingers down slightly to confirm. Yep, I was on a bed now.How could that be?I allowed myself to be taken by the fatigue again.When I woke up, my memory was a bit clearer and I remembered seeing Kincaid's face. I had thought it was a dream but now that I think of it, it wasn't a dream and it had really happened. He had come to rescue me. I opened my eyes slowly and my vision focused on the ceiling. I took in a deep breath, and the air was familiar. I was back in Scotland. I looked around and struggled t
*KINCAID'S P.O.V*HE PACED THE room in agitation. Liam sat lazily, lounging on a couch and eating some fruits from the table."Why does she to be so goddam stubborn?" Kincaid snarled, getting angrier that his Beta did not somehow share in his anger."Give her a break, Caid," Liam muttered, biting into an apple."A break?!" Kincaid stopped his pacing and stared daggers at his best friend. "I'm giving her a break by not allowing her to go to the war front with us. That's a break." He sighed. "You don't see my mother arguing to come along with us."When Liam didn't say anything, Kincaid continued, "You don't even see any other lady in the pack wanting to be amongst us.""Isn't that what makes your mate special?" Liam asked. "And shows how good a Luna she is?"Kincaid grumbled as he picked a cherry from the table. "I guess you are right." He muttered. "But it's only right for her to stay here with the pack.""You know she's not going to do that," Liam said. "She has run away before. I hav
*ADRIENNE'S P.O.V*I HAD BEEN in North London more times than I can remember. I was born here. Grew up here. Lost my parents here. Caged and treated as a prisoner here. Met my second chance mate for the first time here. Kidnapped and brought back here. But I had never come here as a regal Luna like we were doing the next day.Sometime in the night, Kincaid had cuddled up and spooned me, I woke up to his nuzzling my ear softly and the deep rumbling coming from his chest. When he realized that I was awake, he whispered, "We are going to North London today."A few hours later, we were in an entourage of cars and heading to North London. To my amusement, it wasn't like we were going to war, it was like we were going on a mating ritual or something. I voiced my thoughts to Kincaid, and he laughed.I was in a limousine in the middle of the entourage with Cedric, Kincaid, and Liam. More of our warriors followed in SUV jeeps before and after us."Nervous?" Kincaid mindlinked. "I can feel you
*KINCAID'S P.O.V*KINCAID DID NOT know which one hurt him more, the fact that he saw Lucy here in North London, or the fact that he had expected her to be here. He turned away as Adrienne banished her. Caer was raging in his head, wanting nothing other than to grab Lucy by her neck and snap it like a twig. He still might do it, after all, she was no longer a member of his pack. She had been banished."We expected it," Liam mind linked to him. He grimaced and nodded. He turned and looked at Jermaine, he had an annoying smirk on his lips too. A smirk that Kincaid wanted to punch off. Finn who stood beside Jermaine had his eyes wide open, like he could not believe that his sister wielded such power. Finn looked from the squirming Lucy to Adrienne.There was no war to be fought here, Kincaid thought to himself. He was going after Alpha Charles who was the real culprit of all the crimes and chaos. But Charles had outsmarted him by escaping before he could get here. It turned out that aft
*ADRIENNE'S P.O.V*AS SOON AS KINCAID crashed into Jermaine, I knew that a fight was going to start all around us. My primary focus was getting a weakened Finn out of the commotion before we got caught up in a fight we were not fit to fight. The Noth London wolves - some of whom I had grown up with - attacked our group. I looked around urgently, putting Finn's hand around my neck and struggling to stand up. Cedric was immediately by my side. He didn't join the fight as his primary objective was to keep me safe."Carry him out of here," I said, handing Finn over. "What of you, Luna?" Cedric asked. "You should not be here too.""I will be right behind you," j said. I only have one more thing to do. Sewing Trixie cowering like a coward that she was on the floor, I gripped her hair and pulled her up. She yelped like a pup and tried to turn around to scratch me, but she was only hurting herself.I pulled her along the floor. When Cedric saw that I was really behind him, he started cleari
