ALIYA’S POV“I should have known; gods forgive me for being so stupid. Of course, you will fall in love with him; of course, you will break every rule and destroy everything we’ve spent years building just for one man.” Empress Julia said to me, her eyes filled with clear disgust and disappointment.I was in her chambers, naked and on my knees, awaiting my punishment.I had never seen her look so furious before, but I couldn’t even bring myself to care about how she or the other Empresses and High Regents felt.“You let him into your bed, didn’t you? I imagine he must have been quite the man.” I said, and her whip lashed across my skin; it took every will in me to hold back the cry threatening to escape my lips.“I wasn’t the one the gods chose; she chose you, and now you’ve shamed her. Did he defy you?”“What I did with him is none of your business, Julia.” I sneered at her.The whip landed against my chest this time, harder than before. “Oh, I will find out; I will dig my hands int

Five days. That’s how long I had stayed without food or water. My stomach rumbled for the one thousandth time; I was sore to my bones, I couldn’t even stand properly on my feet. I looked through the tiny window, watching the birds fly. I envied them. At least they were free. Maybe I might die of thirst and the god of light could find another ‘Chosen’. The door was unlocked, and Julia walked in, a tray of food in her hands. My mouth watered instantly. “Hungry?” she asked, and despite myself, I nodded. “I brought you some food. But you will have to earn it. The last time we met, you said so many blasphemous things. I know you didn’t mean them. The deal is simple; all you have to do is stand before the other empresses and confess your crimes.” She said with a smile. “Confess my crime? I committed no crime.” I said my voice sounded dry. “You condemn an innocent man to death; YOU are the problem, you and the other twisted empresses. To hell with you all.” The smile on her face disap

“How did you get out of there? It’s impossible…”He placed a finger over my lips. “No questions; I can’t answer them now.” He said and then rose to his feet.“Where are you going?”He picked up the tray of food; I hadn’t even noticed it, even if the scent filled the room; all my attention had been on him. My mouth watered instantly. “You remember the first time I snuck in some food for you?” he asked.“I’ll never forget.”He passed me the tray, and I accepted it with shaky hands. I emptied the bottle of water before emptying the plate of food. When I was done, I looked up to see he was watching me.His eyes trailed down my body, taking in the bruises, and I couldn’t help but try to hide them. I looked my worst, and I wonder if it irritated him.“Sorry I wasn’t here to protect you from that.” He said it, and I knew what he was referring to.“I deserve it.”“No, you don’t,” he said, taking a seat beside me on the bed. “If there’s a way to get you out of here, forever, would you take it?

So many questions clouded my mind—questions about Trian. I always thought he was mysterious, but perhaps I underexaggerated it all. He left me with so many unanswered questions. How had he escaped the Pit? How had he gotten into my room? And how in the hell did he disappear into thin air?He had asked if I trusted him. I did—more than anyone in my life, though there weren’t many to begin with. He said he would come back for me; he also told me what I would have to do. I didn’t know his plans, but I had no choice but to trust him blindly.Two days passed. I knew Julia would be visiting anytime from now, but this time I was ready.The door was pulled open, and she walked in with the biggest smile on her face and a tray of food in her hands. I wasn’t very hungry; two days without food was no big deal to me, and Trian had made sure I was well fed. I knew what I had to do.“I brought you some food. But as I have told you before, it all comes with a price.” She said, “It’s just one simple t

“Don’t be afraid; you’ve come to confess your sins and plead for mercy from the god of light; you have nothing to fear.” Julia said to me, and I nodded, but my eyes remained on the ground.High Regent Gregold rose to his feet and walked to my side.“Together, we are gathered here with the god of light’s Chosen; she has made a mistake and is here to atone for her mistakes.”“Go on.” Julia encouraged, and I finally looked up.“I had disgraced myself, this house, and everything sacred. I had brought shame and reproach; all the while I thought I was right; I thought I was missing something, but I was wrong. Everything I had ever needed was in here, but I failed to see it. I had been blinded by my own selfishness. Empress Julia helped me see my mistakes and…” I broke down, sobbing. Crying wasn’t a hard task for me; it was easy to let a few tears slide down my cheeks. “I feel so ashamed of myself; I was weak. I do not deserve the god of light’s mercy, but I plead for it. I promise to never

ALEXANDER POV**NINE YEARS AGO**My mother, Riley, stared at me from a distance. I could see the longing in her eyes—the need to be close to her son. I saw her almost every single day—except for the times she locked herself away in her room, and yet, there seemed to be this distance between us; we could never have a normal mother-to-son relationship. I knew that. The bruise on my neck still stung, a wound inflicted by her—but I knew she hadn’t been in her right mind. I could tell the moment the switch flipped and her demon took control. I was strong enough to fight her now, but I’d rather die than hurt my own mother. The pain from each bite was bearable, but the thought of raising a hand against the woman who gave me life—that, I couldn’t endure.I waved awkwardly at her, and she smiled, teary-eyed.I walked towards her; her eyes widened in panic, and she turned around returning to her room, fleeing down the passageways, but I followed after her, and before she could shut the door on

It had never gone this far before. This was the first time she had nearly drained me dry, and I knew it would not be the last.I awoke in the healing room; my vision blurred, but I could faintly make out my father’s figure standing beside me.“Where is she?”“She is in her room.” he answered.I felt a slight fear—not for myself, but for her. Something was about to go terribly wrong. And I was right.She didn’t visit, not even after I was discharged from the healers. The scar on my arms was another addition to the others, but I really didn’t care about the scars; if anyone asked, I usually came up with some crap story about how I had been bitten by a wild animal.After a whole month of not getting even a glimpse of my mother’s face, I went to visit her. I knocked on the door to her apartment, but there was no response. The bad feeling that had been growing stronger since I woke up in the healing room was even worse now. Stepping back, I broke down the door.I walked into her apartment

ALEXANDER POV**PRESENT**“Thanks for coming.” I said to Sebastian who had his arms wrapped around Kate’s waist.They hadn’t been hard to find—maybe because they wanted to be found.“It is my pleasure; I am glad you reconsidered.” Sebastian responded.“I am glad to see you once again, Ethan.” Kate said. She didn’t seem to notice her slip; she had called me by the very name I abhorred. Acting had never been difficult for me; in fact, it had become second nature. But for some reason, around these two, keeping my emotions in check felt like a struggle. Still, I had made a promise to get through this, and I intended to keep it.“Welcome to the Nightshade pack.” I said, forcing on a smile that didn’t feel at all welcoming.I led them into the pack house and straight to the meeting room.“An apartment will be assigned to you—stay as long as you need," I said. Just as long as you keep out of my way and I don’t have to see you.“Son…” Sebastian began, but he must have seen something in my ey

3ALEXANDER POVI watched her sleep. I couldn’t say exactly when the insecurities set in, but lately she kept talking about how she’d gotten “fat.” She wasn’t—she was pregnant, strong and healthy for an expectant mother.I pressed a soft kiss to her forehead. I’d spend eternity reminding her of her beauty if that’s what it took.It was time for work, but I didn’t want to leave Kaida alone—not with her due date only weeks away. Before heading out, I went to check on Alexa and found she was already awake.“Daddy, take me to Uncle D, pleeeease,” she begged.She was too adorable to refuse, but it was far too early.“It’s still sleeping time; he’s resting,” I said gently.“But Uncle D don’t sleep. He a vampire,” she whispered, as though sharing a top secret. I could have asked where she’d learned that word, but I already knew the answer.Then Kaida’s cry rang out from the next room: “Alexander! It’s coming—the baby…”My heart jolted. I raced back to our room and found her leaning against t

1.***PHIL POVTwo Years Later…I had never felt so nervous.The day had finally come — Selene had turned twenty-one two days ago, and soon everything between us was about to change."Good luck, friend," Austin said to me."You got this," Ruth, Austin’s mate, added, and I nodded.A year ago, Ruth had finally said goodbye to the Winter Pack and joined her mate, Austin. Their reunion had been beautiful, and the pair had been inseparable ever since.I wanted something like that too — though I hadn’t realized how badly until I met Selene.At many points, I had thought about canceling the plan of waiting, but this time, Selene had been the one against it. I refused to think too deeply about the reason behind that.Now I stood by the door to her house and knocked.I waited a few moments; there was no response, so I knocked again.A woman answered — a complete stranger."I’m looking for Selene. Selene Ashford?" I asked."Oh, the Ashfords don’t live here anymore," she said — and my heart drop

“The others are very angry,” Kyiv said to me. “They think I’m on your side, and that’s why I killed Skale. It’s no secret they don’t like me very much, so they’ve requested something from me—to make clear where my loyalty lies.”“And I’m guessing this thing they requested of you somehow involves me.”“That’s right. Let’s look at the pros of this operation. You’d get to leave the cell for a short while—after days of being locked up, that has to mean something. But then the cons: you’d be paraded naked in front of thousands of rogues, bound, and many would want to… touch.”“I have nothing to be ashamed of, but I’m more worried about your little plan with the plane crash. Aren’t you worried the news that I’m alive will leak out?”“I too believe this is a bad idea. Even if I stand to benefit in many ways — I’d finally prove myself a capable leader to the rogues, and the other rogue leaders would have nothing on me. But I still don’t trust their promises to keep the rogues silent, so the n

I stared at the water in the wooden bowl. I was so thirsty.Could anything be worse than this?At least I would have one less thing to worry about—thirst.I reached for it. It was far enough to cause some strain on my already bruised wrist as I stretched for it, and then I took hold of it.Just before I could lift it up, the bowl slipped from my bloody grasp and fell to the floor, the contents splashing across the ground.Fuck.Well,I guess I really have no option now.Something captured my attention — a blackish smoke swirling in the air, growing thicker with every second.Then, through the smoke, Daemon stepped out.“There you are, about damn time. I was starting to wonder if I was at the wrong place,” he muttered.“How did you find me?”“I made a very wild guess.” “Kaida — how is she?”He tapped on the transparent glass, as if testing its strength.“She’s perfectly fine, and she knows you’re not dead. But she might not be too happy about the fact that I didn’t let her come with m

“There’s a slight chance we aren’t dealing with a pack,” Daemon said. “Thank you for this information.”“Wait, you’re leaving me here? I just proved how important I could be.”“Yes, indeed. If you get any other information, just reach out,” he said, then turned around. He was really leaving.“Fuck you.” I muttered beneath my breath.“I heard that,” he called out. “I intended for you to hear that!” I said, but of course he was already gone.My gaze fell on Sebastian, still standing on the other side of the wall. He raised both hands in surrender before backing away. Frustrated, I stomped off..Kate arrived at the pack a few hours later. This time, she brought along her luggage.“You won’t really need all those for a few days.”“No, I won’t. But I’m not planning to stay for just a few days,” she said, walking into her room. I followed with two more of her luggage. “I’m moving into this pack,” she said finally, and I couldn’t deny how surprised I was at that.“Really?”“Yes,” she said,

I walked past the patrolling soldier and Phil, who followed after me.“I thought you said you were leaving? I was worried you’d do something rash, so I came after you.”Good thing he and the other patrollers hadn’t witnessed what happened earlier.“Plans changed. Guess I was about to make a rash decision — but I changed my mind.”“Are you okay?” Phil asked, inspecting me.I knew I didn’t exactly look my best — I’d spent god-knows-how-long in the healing room, then ran straight to pack my bags, dressed in nothing but the white gown the healing wardens had supplied. My eyes must have been red from crying. But every other person in the pack looked the same, if not worse.They were all mourning Alexander—I realized.Many cast pitiful glances at me.“Why did he have to go?”, “He was too young to die,” “He ‘was’ the best Alpha the pack had ever had.”Everyone had something to say about Alexander.I could hardly believe I’d run past all these people without noticing a single thing.

KADIA’S POVI woke up in the healing room.A pair of blue eyes watched me — Daemon. He looked… different, and it wasn’t just the new haircut. There was something about him that made him seem more human."Daemon," I called; my throat felt so dry.He seemed to have already prepared for that. He passed me a glass of water, which I quickly emptied.Everything came flooding back — the news about the plane crash. It became harder to breathe.“Kaida. Calm down.”"He's gone — he was in the plane when it crashed."I yanked out the tubes attached to my arm and rose to my feet. The movement had been too abrupt; the room seemed to spin.I felt hands guiding me back to the bed. I couldn’t hold in the tears.“He shouldn’t have been there. I made him go, and now…”“Stop.” Daemon said, cutting me off. “He is not dead. I visited the site; I didn’t find anything that indicated he was among the ones that died.”“You were at the site?” I asked, my heart speeding up with renewed hope.“Yes. The moment I h

ALEXANDER’S POVMy blurred vision slowly cleared, and I realized I was in what looked like a small, empty room.The wall facing me was made of thick, transparent glass.I couldn’t tell how they managed to get me in here—there was no window or door, only a narrow slot likely meant for passing food and letting in just enough air to keep the ‘prisoner’ alive.I could only assume there was some kind of hidden entrance.My hands and ankles were bound with thick silver chains.The chains felt excessive—I could barely move a muscle.More wolfsbane than I’d ever consumed in my entire life had been pumped into my system, completely immobilizing me and filling me with this nauseating, sickly feeling. I hadn’t realized I was shivering until I noticed the tremble in my fingers.The room was chillingly cold, and with the wolfsbane suppressing my werewolf abilities, I was no exception to the cold. I tried to summon flames. Nothing.Maybe I was just too weak to summon the flames. The crushing feeli

1KADIA’S POVWhen I discovered the news of my pregnancy, I had been so happy. But I knew a lot would have to change.I had to be more cautious—for the baby. That meant I wouldn’t be able to keep training the pack soldiers for much longer. Of course, I’d have to give up that duty eventually and it had become a part of my life. I would have to watch my diet, too. And then there were other things. Like the fact that I would grow big, and I might not look the same. My toned stomach which I had spent years working on would be no more.This had been the type of life I once abhorred, but everything was different now—I wanted this. I could see a future with Alexander, filled with laughter and little kids running around, and the thought made me smile.Lara was the first person to find out I was pregnant.After I discovered the pregnancy test was unmistakably positive, I was as scared as I was excited.Lara happened to be visiting the pack, and we kind of bumped into each other.
