‘Raul! I lost her again!’ Ivor exclaimed, frustration rising in his voice.

He reached for the mind link to report the situation to the Crown Prince. As he looked at Arlette, his eyes burned with anger. He despised her carelessness, which had led to this disastrous outcome. He had Zela under control, but now everything went south after this interruption.

‘How could this have happened?’ Raul's burst through the link with annoyance. ‘Can you tell me your precise location on the border? Maybe I can intercept her.’

‘The west side,’ Ivor informed him quickly. ‘Her wolf is golden-brown, and she ran toward the river. She shouldn't be too far on that side. I got the feeling she didn't know where she was running to.’

And then, he made a rough sound in his throat.

‘There’s something I need to tell you, Raul,’ Ivor continued slightly agitated. ‘There’s a she-wolf here claiming me as her fated mate. But because of the potion, my ability to scent her is gone. She is

    In the Woodland Forest … "Do you even realize what you've done?" Ivor roared in his mate's face. "Why do you keep chasing me? I don't have time to play with you."Furious, he glared at the woman as he dragged her toward the packhouse.There was no point in going after Zela anymore. His only hope was that Raul could catch her in time. He had been so close, if he had managed to follow Zela and convince her that Raul truly cared for her and was desperately searching, he would have already been on his way to Human Town, to Lilias.After the two had worked things out, they could all set off for the Kingdom.After this assignment was done, he and Lilias could finally hold their mating ceremony, a moment he had dreamt of endlessly these last days. He would mark her, binding her to him. She was his destiny, his impossible love turned real.The thought of holding her, of whispering his devotion against her naked skin, sent warmth flooding through him. He couldn't wait to have

    Crown Prince Raul’s Point of ViewI unleashed every ounce of my Lycan abilities to track Zela.At this moment, the mate bond offered me no assistance in any way, somehow, it was disabled on her end. I had to rely solely on my own strength. As the Lycan Crown Prince of the werewolves, I could, with Slade’s help, utilize the global mind link, but I knew it would demand a vast amount of my energy. I had to be sparing with it.Slade sniffed the air several times as we raced toward the river.If she reached that point, there would be no escape for her, I would have her cornered. Goddess, I have to persuade my woman of my good intentions this time, I truly do not want to hurt her. I needed to understand why she had left me that morning. We had shared something beautiful, it had been perfect. Had she stayed, we would have been fully mated and blissfully happy by now. I had so many dreams for us before we were ready to ascend the throne, now held by my father. Finally, after w

    Alpha Female Zela’s Point of ViewThe moment I realized I was being followed, a cold dread gripped my chest.The way the air in the forest shifted, sending small animals scattering for their lives, told me it wasn’t the Alpha or anyone from Woodcrest. Only someone with immense authority and terrifying strength could cause such a reaction.Raul.Even without the bond, his presence resonated through my spirit, sending a warmth that felt suffocating rather than comforting. It wrapped around me like a noose, tightening as I flew through the dense woods. Iwan, Ivor, Royal Secretary or whatever his name was, had said Raul was still in Human Town.Negative!My pulse thundered in my ears, impatience coursing through my veins. I had no clear path to safety, I was caught between the familiar threat of Woodcrest and the unknown dangers of the wilderness. Running from the Crown Prince was dangerous but staying in that pack meant surrender and surrender to be offered for my bloodline was never an

    Within moments, we approached a grand yacht anchored a few miles offshore. As Lorainne maneuvered the small speedboat alongside it, an unexpected surge of excitement bubbled inside me despite the racing thoughts in my head. This was not just any yacht, it was a floating palace, obviously an exclusive design.Once aboard, Lorainne ushered me inside, her confidence wrapping around me like a warm blanket.“You’ll be safe here,” she assured as she led me into the lavish living room featuring plush furniture and expansive windows that overlooked the shimmering sea. “We’ll stay here for a month until it’s safe to go back wherever you want.”I blinked in disbelief. “A month? Why this long?”“Because,” she said, crossing her arms and leaning against the wall with a serious expression, “we need to ensure my brother-in-law isn’t on your trail. He really wants you back, there are about a hundred warriors on the lookout for you.”I inhaled sharply, allowing the lush surroundings to sink in, yet

    Royal Secretary Ivor’s Point of View "Iwan, quite conveniently, during your visit, my beloved second Luna went missing. Is this all truly a coincidence, or is there a connection? And don’t try to sell me that story about collecting a reward, I stopped believing that a long time ago."The Alpha’s words underscored his deep-seated distrust of me. He had, in truth, always made it evident, but now events were conspiring to create a situation that was decidedly working against me. The Beta, during our brief confrontation, had already discerned that my strength surpassed that of an ordinary werewolf, exceeding even that of a high-ranking member such as himself. From his direction, too, I could feel the palpable threat coming.Lilias's presence had thrown me into a state of extreme vulnerability. The situation had become profoundly perilous, and I felt the walls closing in. Her arrival could not have been more ill-timed.My gaze remained fixed on her, the way

    Just as the atmosphere threatened to fall into an uncomfortable awkwardness, Luna Chrissy burst into the room.Intense fury contorted her features, and upon sighting Lilias seated there, her eyes turned to slits of pure dislike. However, her purpose was likely to lie elsewhere, for she immediately turned her attention towards her mate."Jermain!" she shrieked, her voice carrying the shrillness of a market vendor in distress. "That female has fled, and you sent out warriors to get her back? For what reason? Permit her to go if that is her desire, we have no need of her presence here."The Alpha sprang from his seat and hastened towards the glowing Luna. He seized her upper arm as he gazed upon her with feigned tenderness."My Luna," he coaxed, his tone soothing yet possessing an underlying edge of calculation. "Do not agitate yourself. You bear my mark, I am yours. You are cognizant of the plan; it is for the collective welfare of us all. Allow me to have at least one son with her, the

His hand rested possessively on her arm, a clear claim that sent a jolt of irritation through me.Lilias glanced back at me, almost venomously, before she and the Beta stepped through the front door. I couldn't miss the way she then engaged him in lighthearted conversation. They seemed to be getting along, and it bothered me deeply. The Beta's earlier suspicion of her seemed to have vanished completely."Come on, let me show you the pack lands," I overheard him say, and Lilias responded with a cheerful, almost eager, tone. A powerful wave of longing washed over me, a fierce desire to pull her close, to breathe in her unique scent after these agonizing days without her. It was astonishing how quickly and profoundly attached I had become to her. The thought of her with someone else... it was a knife twisting in my gut."Iwan, shall we go to my parents' house now?"
