Selene's POV I have been seething since the moment Asher made that stupid decree. Was he really under her spell?I had been looking forward to seeing her locked up in that dungeon but what did Asher do? He gives her a home and even food.Not just any food. Food made specially for us. And then he laced it by calling it leftover.Leftover indeed.I was so mad that I didn't want to come downstairs to eat. But I couldn't afford to. Not with Lyra around. One small mistake and she'd be back to his room.Hadn't it happened that way when she came?Initially, she was just a stray that the enforcers had saved from rouges. Next thing, she was becoming Luna. That was enough to get me dressed for dinner. I wore Asher's favourite. Before Lyra's return, I had been avoiding Asher, angry that he was juya one hand man.But knowing Lyra could take him from me, made me determined to overlook his flaws. I painted my lips red, fell my hair and wore something to catch his attention. He looked amused when
Asher's POVThat's right.They all faced me like my instruction wasn't clear. “Did you make a mistake?” Soren asked beside me.The enforcers planted their gazes on me, waiting for me to correct my slip of tongue.Even Lyanna looked surprised.But it was no slip of tongue.“Take her to the den house,” I repeated, my voice a low growl. Soren appeared before me as the men began their way to the denhouse. I could see that she was displeased and I knew she was already imagining the worst of this situation. “I can't believe you'll still choose her after everything she did,” Soren said. “She almost killed you and you want her back.”I glared at him, wanting to bark in annoyance, but I turned away. There was no point talking to Soren My wolf was excited to see her again. But that was not my purpose of taking her to the denhouse. I wanted her alive. I wanted her to see each day, what she had thrown away. I wanted to see her bleed each day, to see her suffer. And when my pup was born, I wa
Dravin's POV I took a deep breath as I looked around me, wondering how I found myself in this situation. I had just headed out of the pack for a leisure stroll after a lot of nagging from Soren and now I was accosted by a group of werewolves who seem to be here for more than a discussion. They covered their faces and from what I saw, masked their affiliations so I was sure that the Outlanders were behind this. "Just what the hell is it this time?" I sighed. "I already have my hands full. I don't have time for this!"I unleashed my presence at that second, making sure to show them the difference in power between us. Some shirked away from me while some others seemed even more eager. Those ones took careful measured steps towards me, making sure to encircle me. They numbered about twenty so I guess whoever was in charge of the Outlanders held me at a high regard. "Now, what the fuck are you guys doing in my pack?" I asked as I strolled towards the nearest of the brave ones who see
Ava's POV I turned away immediately, my heart pounding against my chest. Maybe they wouldn't recognise me. I wasn't popular after all. “Who are you?” I heard.I stopped and bit my lips. If fire could come out from my hands again, I would simply roast them to ashes. But as I stretched my hand just like I did last night, nothing came forth. I thought about running. But how fast could I go in this state?I felt a hand on my shoulder, and before I could react, it turned me around. I met the frown of the man.“I know you,” he said, lowering his brows. “It's her!” He turned to the others who were now walking towards me. My heart was racing. Going back to Karl was the worst thing that could happen to me right now.“It's the spy,” I heard him say. “We've found her.”His hand tightened around me like a vice. “Please,” I begged, seeing it was the only thing I could do. “Let me explain myself…maybe you'll let me go.”He pulled me roughly despite my bump.“You dare not speak! If Alpha Kael d
DRAVINIt's been three months since Elora left and I still can't bring myself to believe in the words of the goddess. Elora couldn't have possibly been pregnant with my child. I couldn't have possibly considered the conception of my first offspring a mistake. I couldn't have treated my child's mother so terribly. It was simply impossible. There was a knock on the door but I couldn't be bothered to answer before the door opened revealing Soren with a somewhat downcast look. Why is he the one looking downcast? I was the one who lost his child here. I have blamed Soren even harder for Elora's escape since the goddess told me she was carrying my child. "What are you doing here, Soren?" I asked as I stared out of the window of my bedroom. "You need to come out of your room, Alpha," he said calmly. "You can't stay cooped up in here.""Have you found Elora?" I asked coldly. "No," he sighed. "I might have made things a lot tougher for myself than I should have. I erased their tracks
Dravin's POV Dread clothed me as I grabbed the wheels, my knuckles turning white. I dreaded going out to check if it was truly Elora lying on the forest ground. But I knew the importance of time. A few seconds could be the line between death and survival.I bit down my lips and jumped down my horse. The forest was still filled with morning fog that settled in the air and leaves. Each step towards the sight ahead was heavy. My heart froze. But my feet couldn't. I hoped it wasn't Elora. Losing Elora would mean losing her and the chance to make things right. I didn't know if I could bear the losses. As I approached the figure, I saw the blood pooling around it before I realised it was a wolf. A wolf. I started breathing again while I tried to think around common sense. Elora though a princess. She couldn't shift. She couldn't be that wolf. I crouched over the wolf. A rogue wolf. It was dead. But the sight didn't alleviate my fears. If anything, it made me more scared. This scene co
