Athena’s POVI had been so lovesick, I missed Travis more than I could put into words. Every second of the day, I thought about him, his voice, his eyes, the way he used to hold my hand so tightly like he never wanted to let go before the assassination attempt.Travis had become so busy and didn’t even think about me anymore.I tried again and again to reach him but he won’t reply to me or budge. I sent messages, knocked on his office door and even waited outside his quarters but he never let me in and never replied so I gave up after many days of trying.I told myself, If he doesn’t want me near him, then I won’t force it.So, I faced my Luna duties and decided to do what I could do for the pack.I sat at my desk that morning and rang the bell beside me. One of my attendants came in and bowed.“Tell all my personal servants to come,” I said firmly. “And call the head maiden and tell her to bring everyone who serves in the Alpha quarters.”“Yes, Luna,” she said softly and rushed out.
Matt’s POVI sat quietly in Travis’s study. The room was dark and quiet, filled with old books and heavy leather chairs. The fire crackled softly in the fireplace, casting shadows on the walls.Travis stood by the window, his back turned to me; he had been silent for a while, just staring out into the night.“I’ve come to terms with it, Matt,” he finally said, his voice low but firm. “Hudson is not my son.”I looked up at him as he turned around and his eyes met mine. They were tired and full of anger.“I need you to do a background check,” he continued. “I want to know who Chloe cheated with and I want to know who Hudson’s true father is.There is only one Lycan kingdom, so I’m guessing it won’t be too hard to trace who she was with.”“I’ll get to it immediately,” I said, sitting up straighter.He nodded and walked slowly toward me. Then, without warning, he pulled me into a hug. I was shocked at first, but I didn’t pull away. Travis was a strong man, not one to show emotion easily,
Paige’s POVI was fed up completely and totally tired. My life as an Omega had become a living nightmare. I had no friends and no hope. Every day felt like a punishment, and no one cared if I lived or died.I remembered when I used to walk with pride, chin up, back straight, and full of power. I was respected and feared by the lowly omegas but now, I was just a weak nonentity that no one cared about.And the worst part everyone laughed at my face and said I deserved it.“You bullied us before, now look at you!” they often spat at me. It was true that I had been terrible at Omegas when I was in high society. I had mocked them, hurt them, looked down on them like they were nothing but I never imagined that one day, I would become one of them and now that I was here, they made sure I paid for everything I did by hitting me mercilessly.I couldn’t go on like this anymore. I had been thinking for weeks and there was only one way out and that was to run away.There was nothing left for me
Chloe’s POVI waited for the news, my hands shaking. The room was dark, and only a candle flickered near the edge of the table. I walked up and down the floor, biting my nails and listening for the clock.It was past midnight and I felt very anxious hoping everything would go according to my plan.Athena and Travis were going to die and stop their wretched existence. I giggled, unable to help it.The thought of them lying dead in a pool of blood made me giddy. I wrapped my arms around myself and smiled wide. “Finally, those two will be gone.”I kept pacing, staring at the small clock on the wall. The second hand moved so slowly, it felt like time itself was trying to punish me.I suddenly heard a howl and the bell went off and my heart stopped. My smile dropped because I knew that sound meant all the guards and sentries were now out and on high alert.“No,” I gasped, this couldn’t be happening. I ran to the window and peeked through the curtains. Warriors were running across the field
Hudson’s POVI was fucking pissed; everything had gone wrong.The plan had been foolproof, even. We were supposed to sneak into the Alpha’s quarters in the dead of night, take out Travis and his precious Luna, Athena, and finally claim what should’ve been mine all along but nothing had gone as planned.I had crept in with three of my men. We moved like shadows, not making a sound. The Alpha’s quarters were dark and silent and I thought he was asleep but I was wrong.The moment we stepped into his room, Travis was already awake. I saw the flash of his eyes in the dark. In one swift motion, he shoved Athena into the bathroom and growled so loud the whole damn house could have shaken.Then he shifted and I knew we were fucked. Fighting an Alpha wasn’t easy even if I was a Lycan. Travis was older, stronger, and most of all, furious. His rage filled the whole room like a storm and his teeth snapped, claws tearing into one of my men before I could even shout.“Everyone fall back!” I tried to
Travis’s POVI was in great shock. Hudson had just finished the food, every last bite and nothing happened to him.I stared at his plate and at him wondering what was going on. My hands, which had been resting on the table, curled into fists without me realizing it.He was completely fine. That food had Wolfsbane in it enough to make them break into sweats, tremble, vomit, or at least sniff it out and refuse to eat it but he hadn’t even noticed at all and even licked the plate clean.“Thank you,” Hudson said, wiping his mouth with the napkin as he stood from the table. He sounded calm like he hadn’t just swallowed poison.“I’m grateful you invited me for dinner,” he added. “But I think it’s best if you stop doing that.”I looked up at him, my body still frozen. “What?”Hudson shrugged. “I can’t keep coming here… to the pack house. It messes with my head and makes me remember when I still lived here… before you cast me out and made me an omega.”Hatered flashed in his eyes but he quick
