Vince’s povI slowly opened my eyes. I had to wince a few times before I got used to the light as it filtered through my eyelashes. It did not take me long to realise that I was on a hospital bed with an IV. My forehead wrinkled. Oh, yeah… the arrow. It must have caused a lot of trouble. I looked around, hoping to catch a glimpse of my mate. She wasn’t there. What bothered me was that I wasn’t able to detect a whiff of her scent either. Although my wolf didn’t say a word, I could tell that he was disturbed about her absence. There wasn’t even a tiny hint of her aura in the blocked room. It was almost as though she never stepped inside it. I sighed. I wanted to believe that she was held back at the pack house because of the duties. With me in the hospital, all responsibilities would fall on her shoulders. The door of the hospital bed opened, and my beta walked in. His lips stretched into a broad smile as soon as he saw me. “Alpha! You are awake!” I smiled at him. “Hey, good to see
Maya’s povAs soon as I opened my eyes, I jerked up. Unfortunately, I was chained to a bed. The chains weren’t silver. That was a relief. I guess Eric didn’t want to torture me. Not yet, at least. It was a wonder why he kept me alive this whole time. Well, it was time to escape before he returned. While tugging at the chains that confined me, I surveyed the niche. There weren’t any windows, and the only door seemed to be locked from outside. I didn’t expect him to leave it unlocked even if I was chained up. He wasn’t reckless. My escape would mean the end for him. The absence of windows made escape difficult. It was one thing to break the chains, but I had to come up with a plan to get out of the confinement.Eleanor stirred in my mind. My heart fluttered with excitement. When I lost her after being shot in the woods, I was so worried. “Eleanor!” My excitement was evident as I called out for her. I was so glad that whatever he injected me with didn’t put my wolf to sleep forever. “G
Vince’s povHe didn’t concede, and I sent a mind link to my beta and all the generals that he was removed from power until further notice. Was it easy? Absolutely not. I hated having to send that mind link. But would I do it again for my mate’s sake? Abso-fuckin-lutely yes! It was the right thing to do. He shouldn’t have harmed my mate and the pack’s luna.He protested when he realised that he was no longer allowed in the office, but it had to be done. I could no longer trust him. He would thwart any attempts to find out where my mate was as long as he was able to collaborate closely with the warriors. Pay attention to him. Until we have concrete evidence, we cannot put him in jail. Until I discover evidence against him, he will continue to be treated and respected as the former alpha, but keep an eye on him. I want to see who he contacts, where he goes… everything,” I told my beta as we watched him leave the pack house. “I sure will, Alpha. Do you think he might do something to Jer
Maya’s povIf Eleanor hadn’t been there for me, I would have gone insane in that lonely place. I was glad she was there to knock sense into me so that I didn’t exhaust myself screaming for Chad to come back. Instead, I put my strength into trying to break free. The chains seemed to be made up of iron, and if the drug hadn’t weakened her, she would have been able to break it. She needed time to heal… something I probably didn’t have. I didn’t know when he would return. And I dreaded a time he would attempt to touch me again. I was afraid that he might try to force himself on me. I have come to one realisation after talking to him. He was eager to mate with me. An arsehole. Was sex the only thing on most men's minds? Did they see us only as that? Objects to be used and discarded when they were done? I genuinely felt bad for Alana. She had foolishly allowed that douchebag into her life. As time passed, I started to get weak and hungry. My stomach grumbled. I pressed my lips together a
Maya’s povThough she appeared to be confused, she offered a smile as she walked closer to me. Her demeanour spoke volumes. She didn’t expect to find me here, and she most certainly wasn’t hostile towards me. “Luna Maya! What a surprise,” she said. “What are you doing in this lonely shed? This was built to store random stuff…” Her frown deepened. “Actually… why are you in Moonshine? Shouldn’t you be in Silverstone unless you are on an official visit?”Her gaze drifted towards my bruised wrists. Although the red marks were fading away – thanks to the super healing power – there were signs of my struggle against the iron chains. Her eyes found mine once again. Perhaps something dawned on her. Her frown disappeared and her lips parted. “Wait…” she said, lunging towards the door I just ran out of. After swinging the door open, she looked inside. She must have seen the chains and the bed and realised that the place didn’t contain any stored items. Perhaps it was built for that purpose, b
Maya’s povI raised my eyebrows, a little surprised. I thought he wouldn’t see that, and it all would once again become a memory, just like all the other times. I thought I would probably end up thinking it was an illusion or something I could never prove happened. This time, my mate saw it happen. It was real. “That happened, didn’t it?” I mumbled. He nodded his head. “I knew you were close. My wolf and I could sense your presence but couldn’t pinpoint your location until you emerged out of the bushes. Then I saw you frantically waving your hands and then the branch flying towards Chad. You didn’t touch it.”My eyebrows wrinkled together. “Yeah… I honestly don’t know how that happened. It just happened,” I told him, shrugging my shoulders. “Is this the first time?” he asked me.I shook my head. “The first time was during the battle against the rogues. The second time was when I saw the arrow approaching me the other day. I thought my mind was playing tricks on me. But now that you
Maya’s povDespite having Vince accompany me into the depth of the woods to meet the Elders, my heart pounded hysterically in my chest. I was anxious of being blamed for the deaths of our late King and Queen. The ones I never got to meet. I inhaled a deep breath when I saw a tiny cottage standing in the middle of nowhere. That must be their home. With each step I took towards their place, my heart raced. Vince, perhaps sensing my unrest, took my hand and laced his fingers with mine. The sparks of our bond gave me some relief. He stopped walking and faced me to cup my face. “Hey, are you ready for this?” he asked. I forced a smile as I nodded my head. Of course I was ready despite my nervousness. “I am just a bit anxious. I’ll be fine though.”He studied my face for a while before giving me a subtle nod. “I won’t leave you. Okay?” A smile curled on my lips. I already knew he wouldn’t but hearing him say it gave me immense satisfaction. We held hands as he knocked on the wooden doo
Maya’s pov I dared not peer out of the pantry door while the Alpha’s family dined. Making myself invisible was the best option for me. For reasons unknown, they loathed me. I mean, it would have been fine if they just hated me and left me alone. I didn’t mind not having a cosy home or having to do all the work around the pack house, but the torture they subjected me to was unbearable. With a deep sigh escaping my lips I lifted my shirt and traced my fingertips on the deep scar that ran across my abdomen. I winced. It was a bitter reminder of the time the alpha’s daughter stabbed me with a silver dagger. Thankfully, I survived because she rushed me to the hospital. Perhaps she was scared of being found guilty of murder. Anyway, I forgave her. I thought it would end the years-long hatred she harboured in her heart for me, but, oh boy, was I wrong. The scar no longer hurt, but the emotional trauma I suffered was unforgettable. A shudder ran down my spine as the memories flooded back

Chad’s povA white wolf... She was a white wolf. I couldn’t believe I rejected a white wolf. Who would have thought that her wolf, of all wolves, would be white? Ever since I found out that she was one, I regretted my rejection. Alana was fine. She lacked experience in the office but was spectacular in bed. I didn’t mind having her. But a white wolf? Being mated to one was a dream. White wolves were the most special since they were so rare. I heard that the royals were all white, but we only heard stories about them. By the time I started to walk, they were all killed. Few white wolves still lived in the north, but they didn’t have special powers like the royals. Either way, white wolves were considered special. Some elders claim that they are the descendants of the Royal family.And to think that I rejected one…My fingers clenched around the steering wheel as I sped down the deserted road. The headlight of my car illuminated the lonely woods. I was well outside my pack’s territory
Maya’s povI knew I couldn’t trust him. But I didn’t have a good reason to push him out of my life. Especially when my mate was happy about him making an effort. Unfortunately, my mate was too blinded by his respect and love for his father to see what I saw. The best I could do was keep my guard high. I didn’t expect him to find the one behind the arrow. Why would he do that? I bet he was the one who aimed that deadly spear at me. We continued with our daily routines. Early morning workouts, training, and then work in the office. Eric joined us every day. During every training session, he was there, helping my mate and his beta. It irked me at first. Being surrounded by his aura was unnerving, perhaps because I didn’t trust him. I hid my resentment for the sake of my mate. After all, his father’s advice seemed to help my beloved. Eric’s years of experience would benefit our pack. That was another reason I kept silent as long as he was helping out.As the days passed by, I started to
