MADELYN'S POV I couldn’t sleep and my mind recalled one of the most painful moments in this hell hole I called a life. Things I never wanted to think of or remember but my mind had to drift to thoughts like that. I remembered the man that I once called a husband and how he treated me.He didn’t show me any love and affection like normal husbands do, he treated me as a slave that abided my his rules. I couldn’t have an opinion in my own matrimonial home. I couldn’t argue, no oppositions, life was hell. I had sleepless nights. I remembered a particular moment where I wanted to hug me but he pushed me away calling me a waste of time and a worthless hag and was about to hit me before he saw my kids, he knew he couldn’t hit me in front of them. I took my kids and fled the scene with tears in my eyes. I couldn’t believe that the man I married turned out to be such a dictator and monster to his family. It broke me inside when it dawned on me that the man that I married didn’t care about me
NYALL'S POVIt's been a whole full day since I last spoke to khalan, I had not heard her voice in a day and I needed to see if she had finally come to realize the truth. I hope she does because she can’t keep living in denial, in a world of lies. She knew what she was doing as she noticed, but to me she was just being stupid most of the time and I needed her to realize that she had to look around and see that no one was smiling. No one really cares about anyone but themselves.I decided to go there since I needed to know if she had come to her senses and realized the truth. I was going down the dungeon and I almost slipped, I got to the bottom and saw her there. Sitting on the floor, unmoving, stagnant, in an almost comatose state and I was worried. Was everything okay? Why was she sitting on the cold floor alone in a dark dungeon? .I wanted to sell out her name because a part of me felt it wasn't real and I wa hallucinating. I wanted to drag her up and hold her hands tightly but I
SONIA'S POV I was over the moon with excitement and joy as I moved around with the Omega gathering, buying trinkets and treats for my pack mates who had joined me in my jubilations without them even knowing why I was celebrating. “Hey guys, let’s have some fun today! I’m treating you all to some trinkets and treats from the stores we’ll pass by.“Wow, Sonia! That’s so generous of you. Thank you!”“Yeah, thank you so much, Sonia! I can’t wait to see what you’ll get us.”“No problem! I want to make sure we all have a great time today. Let’s go!” I said happily.The four of us walked down the busy street, window shopping and admiring the different trinkets and treats in the stores. I was especially excited, as I was determined to buy my friends the perfect gifts.I was simply basking in the glory of what I thought was a successful poisoning of Kyla. I had taken time to select my weapon of poison and had also carefully added the contents to her drink so she would not realize. I was also
ERIC'S POV I rushed down to the dungeon where Khalan being held after hearing the news of her poisoning. My heart ached at the thought of losing my desired mate, the only one who had ever captured my heart. When I arrived, I found her lying unconscious on a bed in one of the cells. I then immediately requested that Khalan be removed from the dungeon and taken to my chambers. The guards hesitantly complied, unsure of what I their Alpha was planning. I did not care what they thought, I just wanted to be alone with Kyla so I could tend to her as I desired. Once we arrived in my chambers, I quickly dismissed the guards and knelt down beside the bed where Khalan was lying. She laid there weak and unconscious but stable. I then took her hand in mine in the attempt to gently wake her up, now feeling a sudden surge of emotion at the thought of losing her. “Khalan, can you hear me?” I asked softly, my voice now filled with worry. There was no response. I leaned forward, my ear close to her
HARDIN'S POVAs I sat in my room, I reflected on how my life had taken a quick turn for the worse. I was once a powerful warrior feared by many, if not all. But now, I was a shell of my former self, a shadow of it, stripped of my shape shifting powers and left now with nothing. The thought of being discovered by my enemies and killed for my past atrocities haunted me constantly as I sat there deep in thoughts. I decided to not go out or if I had to, I would make sure I was never seen by anyone. So I stayed there in my room scheming and plotting.Days passed and I could not take the isolation anymore.

Somehow, he saw my family as a threat to his rule, and he decided to eliminate them in a brutal and unjust manner. I was the only one who survived the massacre, and I was left to pick up the pieces of my shattered life.The new alpha was a ruthless and cruel leader, who had no regard for the well-being of the pack.

NYALL'S POVI had been part of the pack for as long as I could remember. I had always been loyal to Eric and the rest of the pack members, but Hardin seem to have it out for me and so decided to capitalize on the fact that I had worked with him before, the time when I also shared the feeling that Eric was not a worthy alpha. That time had passed now and I was now once again loyal to my alpha.Hardin began to observe my movements and gather information about me. I could not shake off the feeling of guilt that had settled in my heart. I felt responsible for what had happened, for trusting Hardin in the first place.

Seeing that I had no choice at all, I obliged and went with him. He was glad I did. When I stumbled upon Eric’s chambers again, I finally felt safe and secure without the feeling of burdening Eric. He took me under his protection and we stayed together in his chambers for the next few days.At first, everything seemed fine, I started to glow with my skin popping and radiating. But as the days passed, I started to notice stranger changes happening to my body. My skin felt hot and I began to feel pains in my abdomen.
