Lyra's POV “Bring me the one who let him in!”I was having breakfast with Salome watching me keenly, ensuring I ate all the food on the tray when I heard Asher's bellow.I raised my head to face Salome. “What's going on? I hear a shout.”It always scared me whenever I heard Asher's angry voice. I couldn't forget the day he had unleashed his anger at me and sentenced me to death. I wondered who was facing the wrath of his anger now.“You should focus on eating,” Salome insisted. “Do not concern yourself with other matters when the safety and health of your child should come first.”Salome constant care about my pup could only mean one thing: she had lost a pup during pregnancy. But I'm sure she didn't want to talk about it and a little peek from the window wouldn't stop my pup from growing.I dropped the tray and walked up to the window. Asher stood there, in the courtyard. He was glaring at someone I couldn't see yet. But what captured my attention was the guard that was kneeling bef

Ava's POVI didn’t wake up well the next morning. It was probably morning sickness from the pregnancy, I told myself. But I knew well why I woke up looking like someone who had been run over.Vera.The fact that she was here, in this pack made me cringe. I couldn’t dare think of going out for fear of bumping into her. Vera was bad luck. There was an aura she carrried with her that seemed to make me unfortunate. She had taken away my destined mate.Alpha Kael.Despite the fat that he ridiculed me, I couldn’t stop thinking about him - the five minutes we had before Irene took him away from me. I was sure everything would have gone well and I would have been his Luna, and certainly not pregnant for a wolf I cannot tell.But like I said. Wherever Vera was, I was bound to be miserable.I didn’t know if it was the thought that Alpha Kael was in my new pack, but I couldn’t stop thinking about him. Those sea blue eyes that did nothing but capture one’s attention. And those chestnut hair…Oh.
Lyra's POV “You heard that, didn't you?”Josie, who was already by the window, nodded. “I thought I didn't hear well the first time.”I sat up with a racing heart. “It's not the first knock?”“No. Third.”“Who could it be?”I was afraid that it could be Asher. Silas had said it himself. Asher had been here. My stomach churned with fear. If Asher finds me here, he would kill me. “I can't -” I stood up from the bed. “I can't let Asher find me. Coming here was a mistake.”Josie turned away from the window. Her face was as pale as a ghost. “I heard the door,” she said. “Silas has opened the door.”My eyes were scanning the room for anywhere to hide. Or a weapon. “We have to find out what is going on,” Josie said. Was she out of her mind?“No…no way! Do you want us to get killed? Coming here was a mistake.”I grabbed a pillow for defense. It was the only thing in the room that looked like a weapon. Josie moved to the door and strained her ear. “They're having a conversation,” she sa
Dravin’s POVI figured I’d check in on Elora since I’d been back from my expedition. I hadn’t really had the chance to talk to her, and after everything Lyanna had mentioned about some cousin, I wanted to see how she was holding up. When I got to her room, the door was locked. That was weird. I knocked, calling her name. At first, nothing. I was already thinking of calling the guards to break down the door. She was pregnant and I was suspecting that the baby was mine. I couldn't let her harm herself.Then, finally, I heard her say, “Coming.” I stood there, waiting. And waiting. What was taking her so long? Just as I was about to knock again, the door finally opened. Elora stood there, avoiding eye contact like she was trying to hide something. But I’d already seen her face, and I could tell right away—something was wrong. Her blue eyes which looked like they were holding a secret exposed she had been doing.Crying.Her eyes were red and puffy, the skin around them swollen from
Ava's POV The look on her face was priceless. Vera was smart. She escaped death today. But I hadn't said anything because I was done with Bloodmoon pack. All I wanted was to escape from here and be reunited with Alpha Kael. As for Vera, she deserved to be alive and a continuous torn in Asher's side. I didn't care for them anymore. Now that she was sure that she couldn't kill me, maybe she would be wary of me. Even I needed answers. The woman I had seen told me that Alpha Kael had answers to the questions that bothered me. And I couldn't trust anyone here with them. Not even Salome. I didn't know her until recently and I had just witnessed how people could turn their backs on each other here. This place was too toxic. Too toxic for my pup.I held my bump and turned to go.But it seemed Vera had a few words for me.“You think you're untouchable, right? Her voice rose with indignation. “You're not special, Ava. You hear?”Maybe I was. My hand removed fire to roast a rogue wolf trying
