Valentina’s POV

As soon as Hayden stepped out of my ward, I dialed Dr. Nathan. I needed him here, fast. We had unfinished business, a discussion that the interruption from that wolfless thing and Jessica had completely derailed.

And who gave them the right to even show up here? I rolled my eyes. Nonsense! That Jessica… the audacity of her, asking me foolish questions she clearly had no business asking.

Hayden’s “friend,” my foot.

I didn’t like her. I didn’t trust her. That polished, innocent fa

  • Forsaken by the Moongoddess    The Curse Was Never Real

    Abby's POVI stared down at Baldwin, barely recognizing the strength surging through my body.Yes, I know Carla is insanely powerful, but feeling this power coursing through me is something else. I never even knew we could be immune to dark magic.Carla had only given me a short, vague warning before she took over completely.“Finally,” she answered inside my head.My brows furrowed.Finally?“What's that supposed to mean?” I asked.“Not you,” she replied, her eyes burning behind mine as she fixed a murderous stare on Baldwin. “Long time, Alaric.”She paused.“I'm sure you never expected this outcome.”Baldwin frowned. “How do you know my wolf's name?”I had no idea how to answer him. I was just as lost as he was.But Carla continued.“The healing chamber, four hundred years ago. What you and the wizard did to Carla, the little white healer.” Carla paused. “Surely that name still means something to you, Alaric.”Baldwin's eye flared, and I knew his wolf had surfaced.“C-Carla?”His vo

  • Forsaken by the Moongoddess    The White Wolf

    Hayden's POVI wanted to believe Derek had called Abby his sister because of the situation we were presently in, or maybe because of the decision he'd made to let her go after we spoke two days ago. Maybe he was simply seeing her as a sister now.“Brother?” Baldwin's voice pulled me out of my thoughts as he snorted at Derek. “Are you telling me Marie had a son too?”“You heard me right,” Derek seethed. “And I won't let you touch so much as a hair on her head.”Baldwin laughed and looked at Abby.“Now I believe you saying you have a son is all gibberish.” He tilted her chin with his finger. “I doubt you even have a daughter yet.”He turned to his men again.“Take her to my room. I'd love to plant my seed inside her. She'll bear me a daughter.”The men moved toward Abby, but Derek broke free from the men holding him and tackled the ones trying to drag her away.Abby wasn't making it easy for them either, fighting back as they tried to grab her.I struggled against the magical force teth

  • Forsaken by the Moongoddess    Her Brother

    Hayden’s POV“Really?” He arched his fucking brow. “Then let's see how you'll stop me.”He tapped his finger again.The next moment, Abby and Derek were dragged out by two of his men.“Abby!”My blood boiled as they roughly shoved her forward.I took a step toward her, wanting to rush over and tear those wolves off her, but three weapons were immediately pointed at her.My fist clenched.The message was clear. One wrong move from me, and Abby could get hurt. I wouldn't forgive myself if she got so much as a scratch.Baldwin laughed.“Now do you understand, Alpha Hayden?”I glared at him.“What do you want?”“You.” He spread his arms. “I've been waiting for this day for a very long time. You've been a damn thorn in Dunhall's side, always sticking your nose where it doesn't belong.”“And I'm sure you know me well enough to know I'll come for you after this.”“Of course.” His smile widened. “But ironically, you don't seem to know me well enough.”He snapped his fingers twice.Two of his

  • Forsaken by the Moongoddess    Into His Trap

    Abby’s POVThe woman didn’t answer.She looked from me to Derek, her black eyes cloudy with age as white hair covered most of her head.“Maybe she isn't the one,” Derek muttered, tugging my hand. “Let's check the other prison cells.”We were about to move on to the next cell when the woman finally spoke.“No one else is here.”Derek and I paused.No one else here? Then she had to be the one we were looking for.“Then you must be El,” Derek said before I could.The woman didn't answer. “My name is Abby,” I tried again. “We're here to help.”“I don't need your help.” Her voice came out shaky but firm. “Go away.”“Okay. Please hear me out first,” I pleaded. “I only want to ask–”“I said go away,” she snapped, her expression stubborn. “If you don't leave now, I'll alert the guards.”Then she turned her face away from us.I sighed and looked at Derek.“I think we should leave.”I turned around, but Derek didn't move.“Marie Beaumont sent us… in case the name rings a bell.”“My Lady?” the

  • Forsaken by the Moongoddess    We Need to Act Fast

    Abby’s POV I unfolded the paper and skimmed through the words inside. My brows furrowed.“What does it say?” Hayden asked.Before I could answer, he took the paper from my hand and read it himself.His expression hardened.“El is alive.”“Alive?” Derek blurted.Hayden lowered the paper slightly and looked at him.“Baldwin has her locked in his dungeon.”“Why would he lie and say she was dead?” Derek asked.“The same question running through my mind,” I replied.“He's definitely hiding something,” Hayden said. His jaw tightened as he glanced back toward the house. “Baldwin is no different from his father. The men who have ruled this pack before him have always had something shady going on.”He paused, his expression darkening.“I don't understand why the werewolf council hasn't done anything about this pack yet.”“What do we do?” I asked, perplexed.“We go back inside and confront him,” Derek said. I could already sense his anger rising.“No.” Hayden shook his head.“Why not?” I frown

  • Forsaken by the Moongoddess    The Beaumont Curse

    Abby’s POV Just as we reached the Alpha’s door, it opened.“What an august visitor I have here!” a rough, deep voice said.A one-eyed man stood in the doorway, a black patch covering his left eye. His belly protruded beneath his clothes, while his unkempt hair and scruffy beard made it obvious he didn't care much about his appearance.But his aura screamed Alpha regardless.“Alpha Baldwin,” Hayden said simply, confirming what I'd already sensed from his aura.“It's been a long time since I last saw you, Alpha Hayden.” Baldwin flashed a wide, toothy grin, which somehow softened his rugged appearance. Then he stretched out his hand for a handshake. “What brings you to my pack? It must be something serious.”“Sure,” Hayden replied, taking his hand before releasing it almost immediately. “We're looking for someone.”Baldwin frowned slightly. “You could have simply sent word. There was no need for you to come all the way here yourself.”“I could have,” Hayden said. “But this is something

    Hayden's POV I parked at the location Abby had sent and stopped the engine. She wanted to talk. To resolve this. The thought alone made my chest ache.I couldn’t waste another second. I needed to tell her I was sorry for everything. For losing control. For the scene I’d caused in her restaurant. F

The voices grew clearer, and a sliver of light leaked from beneath a door.“Over there,” Carla whispered urgently.I stumbled forward and pushed the door open. Derek’s hand froze mid-ai

A gift I’d held onto like it meant something, while he didn’t even remember buying it.And now, out of nowhere, it’s lying h
