ログインDorian’s POVI spent a whole day in dark, painful grief. My chest hurt so much that I could barely breathe. I sat in my quiet room, staring at the wall, thinking that I had lost my wife forever. I felt like a broken man who had failed to protect the person he loved most.But then, the universe finally answered my desperate prayer.A messenger ran into my office with big news from the border. Someone had spotted Aaron. He was hiding inside his old pack territory, the Moonstone pack. But he was not walking around like a proud Alpha anymore. His people looked at him like a dirty traitor who had brought ruin to their land.While Aaron was away doing his evil work with the Blackthorn pack, terrible things had happened to his people.

Lillian’s POV"Help! Somebody help me! She is crazy! Get this mad woman away from me!"I screamed at the top of my lungs, my raspy voice echoing off the cold stone walls of the large room. My whole body was shaking with wild terror. The heavy iron cuffs dug painfully into my wrists, and the thick leather ropes cut into my legs as I thrashed violently against the heavy wooden chair.My mind was spinning in complete chaos. What on earth was this crazy woman talking about? What rare, ancient power? What bloodline? What dark ritual? None of it made any sense to me. I was just a normal woman who loved her family. I did not have any special magic inside my body."Shut up!" Cassidy barked, her dark eyes flashing with pure rage.Before I could draw another breath to scream, Cassidy pulled a sharp, silver hunting knife from inside the folds of her long black dress. The long blade caught the dim light of the room, shining with a cold, deadly glare."What are you doing?!" I shrieked, pressing my
Lillian’s POVMy head was pounding with a terrible, sharp pain. The skin on my face burned from the hard hits, and my breath came in short, raspy gasps. The tight ropes around my legs and the heavy iron cuffs around my wrists were biting deep into my skin. I could hardly breathe right. Every breath I took felt like heavy stones resting on my chest.Cassidy stood right in front of me, her icy platinum hair shining under the bright lights. Her dark eyes were fixed on my face like two sharp knives."Answer me!" Cassidy barked, her voice echoing off the stone walls of the large room. "How was Dorian able to find you? How did he track you down?"I looked up at her, my mind spinning in complete confusion. My lips were dry, and my throat felt like sand. "I... I do not know what you are talking about," I choked out, shaking my head as much as the guard's tight grip would allow. "Dorian did not track me here. I was brought here by force. I do not even know where I am!"Cassidy let out a harsh,
Lillian’s POVI stood frozen by the window, my back pressed hard against the cold glass. The maid’s words kept repeating in my head like a bad song that would not stop. It is completely impossible to leave. Your fate was doomed.I looked out at the endless dark mountains and the thick green trees far below. My heart was slamming against my ribs so hard it hurt. I was petrified. A deep, cold terror filled my whole body from my head to my toes. I knew right then that there was no easy escape for me. I was trapped in a giant stone cage far away from my home, away from Dorian, and away from my sweet daughter.I looked down at my bare neck. My skin felt empty and cold. I remembered the Viremoor necklace that Dorian had put around my neck before the dinner party."My necklace..." I whispered, my voice shaking as I looked back at the maid. "The stone necklace I was wearing... where is it? Did your guards take it from me?"The maid picked up her silver tray and shook her head slowly. "I do no
Lillian’s POVThe world was dark, heavy, and blurry. I felt like I was floating under deep water. My head was pounding with a very bad pain, and my eyes felt too heavy to open. Slowly, soft sounds began to enter my ears. I could hear faint noises around me. People were standing near my bed, talking in low whispers."Is she waking up?" a woman's voice asked softly."I think so. Look at her fingers. They are moving," a man replied in a deep, hard voice. "We cannot let her wake up yet. Master said she must remain asleep until we reach the main estate."I tried to force my eyes to open. I wanted to see who was talking, but before I could move my body, a cold, thick cloth was pressed tightly over my nose and mouth. A strong, terrible chemical smell filled my lungs. The sweet, heavy scent burned the inside of my nose. My head went light instantly, and I sank back down into the dark, cold void.Hours passed in total darkness."Dorian! Save her! Please save our daughter!"I sat up straight w
Dorian’s POVI stood behind the thick iron bars of the holding cell, looking down at Shantel. She looked like a pitiful, broken mess. Her expensive dress was torn and covered in dirt, her hair was a wild tangle, and tears streamed down her cheeks, smearing her black makeup into dark tracks across her face."He was going to kill me, Dorian!" she sobbed, clutching her stomach as she sat on the cold floor. "After everything I did for him... after all the sacrifices I made to keep his business alive... he was just going to shoot me and leave my body in that terrible place!" I didn't feel a single drop of pity for her."Shut up!" I roared, my Alpha voice vibrating through the small, stone basement. "I don't care about your pathetic marriage, Shantel! Tell me where Aaron took my wife! What was his plan?!""I don't know!" she shrieked, raising her hands to cover her face as she backed away from me. "I swear to you, I don't know where they went!""Don't lie to me!" I snarled, my wolf eyes gl
Dorian’s POV“Lillian, please don’t be like this,” I said, moving to follow her as she walked away. “What happened with Miranda, it was a mistake. A terrible mistake that I don’t even remember making, but a mistake nonetheless.”She stopped walking, but the silence that enveloped us was cold and he
Lillian’s POVI walked away from Dorian and headed straight to Celeste’s room, my emotions too raw and overwhelming to deal with anything else right now. I needed to hold my daughter, needed to ground myself in something pure and uncomplicated before I completely fell apart.Celeste was sitting on
Dorian’s POVI stood outside Lillian’s locked door for several long minutes, my hand raised to knock, my mouth open to call her name and beg her to listen. But I couldn’t do it. Couldn’t force myself to intrude on her pain when I was the cause of it.There was no point going after her right now. I
Lillian’s POVDorian and I both rushed out of his office at the sound of the alarm, my heart pounding with fear about what kind of emergency could be happening. We found Aiden in the main hallway, his expression tense and troubled in a way that made my anxiety spike even higher.“What’s going on?”
