Raina's point of view I felt deeply disturbed by what Dorian had told me about the dark magic potion.It felt as though everything was gradually falling apart, even while we were trying so hard to fix it.A plan to wipe out the entire werewolf race was something that demanded urgent attention.Yet for days now, all Dorian kept telling me was that he was investigating, but he hadn’t given me any feedback or even sought my help, and it was unsettling.I couldn't accept that Luke was behind it — it was impossible.He framed me; I know he never intended to drag the entire werewolf kingdoms into this.Still, I would wait for Dorian.Then a cold thought hit me: if that portion was aimed at the whole of our kind, what happens if the alpha seal falls into the wrong hands?It would be catastrophic. Worse than anything we've faced. That was why I had to find it.The only way now, is for me to head back to my birth Pack. Who knows, maybe anything helpful might be there.And even if I didn't get
Dorian's point of view "I got your message, so what's the result?" I demanded the moment I stepped into Dr. Felix’s lab."Your Majesty, I’ve been waiting for you," Felix said, his tone clipped, almost anxious."Well, I’m here now. Speak. What’s the problem?" I pressed.He glanced around, then jerked his head. "Follow me."I obeyed, trailing him deeper into what looked like a sealed-off section of the laboratory. Strange apparatus hummed and flickered with faint traces of energy, the air thick with the tang of burnt herbs and iron.My brows furrowed. What could possibly be so urgent that he summoned me in such haste?Felix stopped at a long table, his expression grave. "The test we ran on the dark magic… it wasn’t just a spell designed to mask infidelity."That made me stiffen. The original purpose was to prevent a mate from sensing betrayal—that much I knew."Then what is it?" I demanded, my voice low, and feeling uneasy.“We discovered that the potion contains a substance powerful
Dorian's point of view Just as I pushed the door open, I slipped inside, closing it back with a swift kick from my leg before laying Raina gently on the bed.I climbed onto the mattress, my lips hovering close to hers, eager to resume the kiss but she pressed a hand to my chest and stopped me.“A moment, please,” she whispered before sliding off the bed.Disappointment crashed through me.Doesn’t she want me?Doesn’t she love me enough to stay?Still reeling, I heard the bathroom door slam shut with a sharp bang.“Fuck!” I hissed, raking my fingers through my hair.I asked for her permission. She gave it. So why now?Why the sudden change of heart?I sat at the edge of the bed, still pondering over what she meant by “a moment,” when suddenly, the bathroom door creaked open.Raina stepped out—completely naked.For a heartbeat, I froze.Was this really her? The Raina I thought I knew? Or was this some ghost sent to torment me?But no, it was her. And God, she looked breathtaking. Her s
Author's point of view After the damning footage surfaced, proving Luke’s involvement in dark magic, Raina revealed everything. The revelation turned the tide, backfiring on both Luke and Jane.Jane’s blood boiled with rage. Luke had ruined everything, their carefully woven plan shattered in an instant. She tried calling him, her fingers trembling with fury as she dialed again and again, but he never picked up.Then, two hours ago, his message arrived: I’m on my way back. That was all. No explanation, no apology. Just words that left her pacing restlessly, her chest tightening with every second of his absence.When the knock finally came, Jane’s heart thudded in her chest. She peeped through the crack, Luke. Without hesitation, she yanked the door open. And before a word could leave his mouth, her palm connected with his cheek in a sharp, resounding slap.“How could you do this to us, Luke!?” Jane’s voice thundered, shaking with fury.“Do what to us?” he shot back defensively, his ha
Raina's point of view Immediately I stepped out of the Seer’s lair, I disguised myself and made my way straight to the palace.The moment I entered my chamber, I froze.Dorian was already there.“Dorian?” I breathed, my voice betraying my surprise.“Raina, where did you go?” he asked, his gaze sharp with curiosity, though weariness lingered beneath his eyes.“I’ve been trying to reach you, but every attempt failed. That’s why I went to meet the Seer,” I confessed.He let out a weak sigh, shoulders dropping. “You didn’t have to put yourself through that trouble.”“But Dorian, I was worried about you,” I pressed, stepping closer. “Don’t tell me otherwise. I know you’ve been carrying all this weight… all this stress… because of me.”He moved closer, his presence overwhelming, his eyes softening as if he wanted to say something more. “Raina—”I silenced him gently, pressing a finger against his lips. “No. Don’t. I know what you’re trying to say. But listen to me instead. Let me fix this.
mRaina's point of view I slipped into the seer's lair and peeled the cloak from my shoulders.He froze, then hissed, "Why are you here?""I need your help," I whispered.He shrugged. "I can't help you. In fact, you've only made things worse.""I didn't, I didn't make anything worse."He smiled, a thin, cruel thing. "No, I meant Dorian. Dorian made things worse for both of you.""Leave Dorian out of this. I'm innocent. That whole dark-magic story was just an accusation, stop blaming me or trying to strong-arm Alpha Dorian into protecting me," I said, every word steady."Well," the seer sneered, "so far, so good. I’ve never seen anyone openly admit to such filth, so I’m not surprised you’re still denying it. But hear me now, soon, your title will be stripped away. A woman tainted by dark magic can never be a Luna." His voice burned with hatred.I straightened my back, forcing myself not to crumble.His words cut deep, but I refused to give him that power. The real blame lay with Luke
