LOGINDamien’s POVTo say I’m devastated is an understatement. I feel my heart continuously tighten against my chest as I watch my brother’s body being lowered into the Earth.I tighten my jaw, pressing my fingers into tight fists.There are so many ways this could have been avoided. If my father hadn’t been so greedy and evil for no reason, none of this would have ever happened.But it did. And now I have to live with the reality that I will never see my brother again.The thought of it breaks my heart again and I feel the tears burning behind my eyes. But I managed to hold myself back because I’m surrounded by everyone. Every greedy person that once shared the table with my father and brother. Every person that once encouraged their misbehaviors all because of what they got from them.I watched them all around, trying to look as devastated as possible, but I am not stupid so I won’t fall for any of that silliness.I know what their true plans are. Now that my brother is gone and my fath
Elena’s POVAs soon as everyone hears about Lukas’s death, they all begin to retreat. Every pack that had sworn their allegiance to the blood moon pack, mostly out of fear, now has no reason to commit to it.It is a good thing because it means we can finally all catch your breath. It means there won’t be need for unnecessary death and destruction. Although for some cases, it already seems too late.I watch as Damien breaks down over the burial preparation of Lukas.I haven’t been able to take myself to look at his body. I still can’t even believe that this is a reality. This was a man I spoke to hours ago.This was a man I hated hours ago.This was… This was also a man I sort of wished this upon hours ago, but now that it has happened, I can’t help the heartbreak of my heart.I start questioning everything.After all, Lukas had given me reasons to wish him death so why was I feeling bad all of a sudden?Perhaps that was because the reason he gave me wasn’t what I thought it to be.“H
Elena’s POV“Lukas, Lukas,” I hear the word come out of Damien's lips repeatedly but this isn’t even the worst part of it.It is the way he is dragging the body into his arms that leaves me absolutely devastated.I drop down to the ground, mouth open in shock.This is when I remember the loud thud I heard when the explosion first happened.It was Lukas’s body dropping onto the ground.I widen my eyes, the shock refusing to leave me as I continue to stare at it. I couldn’t believe Lukas of all people was the one lying lifeless on the ground. I want to pull myself out of my grief and focus on Damien but I can’t even bring myself to get up.“Your grace,” a familiar voice calls from the door but immediately stops upon seeing the scene before him.Vale.“Your grace,” he repeats, stepping closer.But Damien doesn’t respond. He just remains in place, holding his brother tightly and crying profusely.“Lukas, please don’t leave me. I forgive you for everything, just don’t leave me.”The word
Elena’s POV.“Elena, Elena,” I hear someone calling out my name repeatedly but I’m too dazed to even understand what is actually going on.I don’t know if I’m dreaming or the calls are actually coming from someone. The only thing I can feel is the banging… of my head.It feels as though someone is using a sharp object to repeatedly hit my head with all the strength.I feel the weakness and I struggle to pull myself together.This is when I hear it. “Oh my goodness, Elena.”A familiar voice whispers.As I’m still trying to understand whether that is coming from, I feel a touch on my arm.“Elena, wake up, it’s me.”The voice sounds pretty urgent and this is when I realize I’m not saying anything.The name calling had been a reality, I was just too engrossed in a surprisingly deep dream to register it.Slowly, I flick my eyes open, staring at the familiar face in front of me.“Oh my goodness, Damien,” I mumble, stretching my hand forward.He looks at me with a big relieved smile as if he
Damien’s POVI begin the journey from the war site, heading straight to the palace in silence.I don’t wait for anyone and certainly have no chance to start discussing the details. I just want to get there as soon as possible because I know something is wrong.If Elena is missing, I don’t need a magician to tell me who exactly is behind it. I also don’t need anyone. Want to tell me how things will turn out if I don’t get there on time.“Your grace, I think you should calm down,” Vale says behind me but I say nothing, and just continue. “Your grace, you should calm dow—.”“Don’t tell me that, Vale,” I yell, snapping my head around towards him.He pauses, staring but there isn’t much shock in his eyes.“Don’t tell me that. Elena is in trouble and I have to get her out as soon as possible. Hell, don’t even think I’m fast enough please, Vale, I don’t want to hear it.”He sighs. “I know that, your Grace. I also want to rescue her as quickly as possible but if you continue like this, I fe
Elena’s POVFrom the moment the Alpha King caught me, I already knew that I was in big trouble and almost nothing good would come out of it.I thought I was ready to suffer the enemies plans without begging. I thought I could do it. But being in the face of the problem, I realize it is a lot more than I have ever prepared for.Not only does it hurt me that these people are about to take my life, the idea that they had done it to my family, and I haven’t been able to punish them, pokes deeply at me. I hate it. I hate being at the mercy of people people like this. I may not have minded what they are about to do if I had at least avenged my family. The fact that I haven’t gotten that far makes my chest twist in deep pain.I also know there is no hope. Apart from the hateful alpha king who stands a few meters away from me, I can also see the determination in Lukas’s eyes.He looks hateful. As if he has a lot of pent up anget against me. I can’t say I’m surprised though. He never really
Lukas POVI am not supposed to notice the way she flinches. Hell, I had initially planned not to notice or concern myself with anything that has to do with her but… I do.Clearly.And this doesn’t sit well with me.I can practically hear my father‘s voice still echoing in my head, sharp and relent
Elena’s POV“Oh, your highness. Finally, he just left.” Bianca says to me excitedly.“Are you serious?” She nods. “Yes, our wait has finally paid off.”“Oh great, thank goodness. I was already so scared that he wouldn’t leave tonight.”Silence.“Your highness, are you sure this is a good idea? I
Elena’s POVThe moment the quiet peace of the night hovers above the palace, I jump off the bed, looking around to make sure none of my attendants is still around.I slide on a black night dress, something to make sure I don’t get caught—at least in my mind.There is supposed to be a change of guar
Elena’s POV I barely got any sleep last night, it was a miracle that Lukas didn’t catch me and it is all things to Bianca. But I know this is not the end of it. I must go back and continue to search, I just can’t give up like this. However, my determination does nothing to quell the fear in my
