Liz POVโWhat do you know about Dainn Phalen?โ My father tenses and stops dancing. His eyes widen in shock and he looks around the ballroom before pulling me off the dance floor. We return to the secluded corner of the room, and a low growl erupts from my fatherโs chest.I flinch at the anger that is rolling off my father. He has never growled at me before. โWhy would you ask me such a question here and now?โ He asks in a hushed voice. โBecause I need to know the truth,โ I whisper. โTonight might be my only chance to find out the truth.โ My father shakes his head. โNow is not the time for this conversation.โ โIs he or is he not imprisoned in Lycan City?โ I demand to know. My father runs his fingers through his hair. โNow is not the time,โ my father growls. I scan the ballroom, and no one is paying attention to us. I feel confident that no one is watching or listening in on our conversation.โPlease,โ I beg. โDeimos killed his brother,โ my father says, but he refuses

Deimos POV Standing outside the ballroom doors, I grind my cane into the floor beside me. I canโt decide if I should leave it outside or not. I donโt want the werewolf community to view me as weak, but without my cane, I can be unsteady on my feet. โYou are thinking too much,โ Duko growls. โOur mate needs us.โ Grumbling at my wolf, I push the doors of the ballroom open. My Alpha Aura fills the room as soon as I step inside. The music stops, and everyone pauses as they turn to the doors to see who has come in. I keep my face stoic and walk through the crowd. Murmurs and whispers follow me as I make my way through the throngs of people. Stella really outdid herself this time. It feels like every pack within the United States is being represented here tonight. She was obviously determined to find her mate. I make my way to the front of the crowd, and my father rushes to my side with a microphone in his hands. He taps on the microphone, causing a loud thumping no

Liz POV Deimosโs arms tense around me. His grip on my body is almost painful as he stares down his father. Stepping to the side, Deimos tries to bypass his father without answering him, but Nico steps in his way. โI am going to ask you one more time,โ Nico says in a hushed voice. โWhere do you think you are going?โ Deimos grunts as he gently sets me down on my feet. He steadies me for a moment before turning to his father. Deimos flexes his hands at his sides before balling his hands into fists. He growls in Nicoโs direction. I glance over my shoulder and see that everyone is discreetly watching what is unfolding at the ballroom door. โDeimos,โ I whisper, but he doesnโt pay any attention to me. โI am taking Elizabeth to the infirmary,โ Deimos says through gritted teeth. Nicoโs eyes rake over my body, and his eyes narrow in on the bruise on my arm. โShe fell down the stairs, and I caught her. She is quite clumsy for a human.โ The sting of being called a human never

Liz POV Deimos and I walk into the dining room the next morning, and I am surprised to see that we are the last to arrive. Nico is sitting at the head of the table with a scowl on his face. For the first time, his scowl is not directed at Deimos or me. Nicoโs eyes are glued to the shiny new mark on his daughterโs neck. Stella has her black hair pulled up into a high ponytail and is wearing a low-cut shirt. I know it is a power play to show off her new mark. She wants everyone to know that Isaiah and she have already marked and mated one another. Isaiah is sitting in the seat that I normally sit in, so I stand awkwardly in the doorway of the dining room. I am unsure where I am supposed to go now. There is an empty seat beside Damon, but I would rather stick a fork in my eye than sit beside him. Deimos takes his seat at the opposite end of the table from his father and grunts for me to sit down between him and Damon. Reluctantly, I take the remaining seat at the table and tr

Deimos POV I am jealous. I can admit that. The way Elizabeth and that warrior were sharing glances across the table made my skin crawl. Never once has she looked at me that way. There is a history between them that I donโt understand. When I tried to get to the bottom of it, I realized they were in love with one another. I knew I had to get Elizabeth alone. She needs to remember who she belongs to. My hand is wrapped around her throat once again, and Duko is growling angrily in my mind. He doesnโt approve of my treatment of Elizabeth. I stare into Elizabethโs eyes, and she doesnโt look afraid. Her eyes are dilated, and her breathing is erratic. If I didnโt know any better, I would guess she is turned on. โWho do you belong to?โ I ask her. Her eyes widen, and she opens her mouth to speak. I loosen my hand around her neck, and she lets out a little whimper. โWho do you belong to?โ I ask her again. โYou,โ the word is breathy on her lips. I wipe her hair out of h

Liz POV Deimos straightens his shirt and pants before placing another kiss on my lips. He walks around his desk and takes a seat. He is pretending like I didnโt spend the last ten minutes on my knees worshiping him. I donโt know what I am supposed to do, so I stand awkwardly in the middle of the office, waiting for instructions. Deimos doesnโt look up from his paperwork. โYou can start packing,โ he says as he clicks the keys on his computer. โPacking?โ My voice is rough, and my throat is sore. โWe are leaving for the Moonstone Pack in the morning,โ Deimos tells me. โReally?โ I squeal with excitement. Deimos looks up from his computer with a genuine smile on his face. I donโt think I have seen this side of him before. He looks excited. โYes,โ Deimos chuckles. โNow go pack.โ I am over the moon and donโt know how to contain myself. Rushing over to Deimos, I grab him by the side of the head and plant a kiss firmly on his lips. His tongue presses against the seam

Liz POV We pull up to the hotel just inside Moonstone Pack territory. My eyes flicker to Deimos with questions. I want to know why we arenโt staying at the pack house, but his tight jaw and hardened gaze tell me not to ask any questions. The driver pulls up to the front doors of the hotel, and Deimos exits the car without looking at me. I quickly follow him into the hotel, keeping myself just a few steps behind him. He is walking without his cane and hiding his limp well. If I didnโt know he was injured, I wouldnโt be able to spot the slight limp. His wolf must be working overtime to keep up the illusion that he doesnโt have an injured leg. Deimos approaches the front desk, and the receptionist cowers in fear. I donโt blame her. The look on his face is more than a little intimidating. I peek around his massive form and recognize the girl behind the front desk. She was one of the few that dared to torment me in school. Her name is Becky. I slip behind Deimos and try t

Liz POV I walk through the hotel corridors, trying not to look nervous. I am not doing anything wrong. Technically, Deimos is my mate despite the lack of a mark on my neck. I approach the hotel door and am shocked by the sound of voices on the other side. I think about what Becky said and how it would look if I were to enter a room full of men. I can only imagine what the rumors would be. โThis was a mistake,โ I tell myself as I turn to run the other way. Before I can take the first step, the door opens, and the scent of Applewood envelopes me. I turn to see Deimos smiling drunkenly at me. How is it that he is already drunk? โI thought you would lose your nerve,โ he says as he gestures for me to come inside. I look around and see a few other men sitting in the massive hotel suite. I stand awkwardly by the door, and Deimos places his hand on my lower back and guides me further into the room. โThe keys to my room didnโt work,โ I say shyly as I look around the room. โ

Game of Power: The Adopted Luna's Redemption ย ย ย Epilogue
Liz POV I am staring out of the window with a checklist in my hands. Each item on the list has been checked several times. There is nothing else that I need to do. The Lunar Ball is already underway. From my window, I can see groups of people slowly making their way into the town hall that has been transformed into a ballroom. It has already been decided that I will be arriving last, even after the royal Lycan family. Stepping away from the window, I check my makeup in the reflection of the mirror. My face is still round from being pregnant, and my belly is still swollen. Thankfully, the dress that Stella picked out for me hides my round figure. I almost look normal. A quiet knock on my bedroom door pulls me from my reflection. โCome in.โ The door only opens slightly, and my sister, Belle, squeezes through. I expected to see her in a ballgown, ready to join the party, but she is not dressed for the occasion. She is in her leather fighting gear. Her hair is pulled ba

Liz POVThe sun is warm on my face, and my eyes flutter open. A blue sky spotted with fluffy, white clouds comes into view. I lay my hand on my stomach, and it is flat. No trace of my pregnancy. Quickly, I get to my feet and look around. Once again, I am in the clearing behind the Moonstone Pack house. The place where my parents died. Everything feels warm and inviting. Is this what death feels like?A woman walks in my direction, and I immediately know who she is. โMom,โ I call out as I run toward her. I reach out my arms to embrace her, but my hands move through her body like she is made of mist. Looking between my hands and my birth mother, I am confused. โWhy canโt I touch you?โ I cry. My birth mother lets out a sharp sigh and wipes the tears falling from her eyes. โNow is not your time.โ โIโm not dead?โ I whisper. โYou are stuck between this life and the next,โ my birth mother explains. โYou have a choice. You can stay here in the afterlife. Or you can fight to

Liz POV Six Months Later I have been staring at this screen for so long that my eyes are starting to go crossed. Since the battle, there has been so much to do. Each of the rogues that was detained has been questioned and subsequently put to death. As much as I hated to admit it, Faris Jr was right. A precedent had to be set that we were not a pack to be challenged. As if there wasnโt enough on my plate, Faris Jr decided that the next Lunar Ball would be held at our pack. It is only a few weeks away, and almost all of the planning has been done. I slam the screen of my laptop shut and pinch the bridge of my nose painfully. The pup growing inside of me kicks me roughly, and I groan uncomfortably. My stomach has grown to an enormous size over the past six months. Just when I didnโt think it was possible for me to get any bigger, I did. Bracing my hands on the arms of my chair, I struggle to push myself out of the office seat. As I am attempting to stand, someone knocks o

Deimos POVI know I am leaning heavily on Elizabeth as we make our way out of the forest. My arm is flung over her shoulder, and she is struggling to keep me on my feet. But she doesnโt give up, and she doesnโt complain.As soon as we break through the tree line, I see medics running toward us. Elizabeth lets out a sigh of relief, but I am not ready to go to the hospital. As Alpha of the pack, I need to oversee the cleanup of the battle.The medics take me from Elizabeth. They try to make me lie down on a stretcher, but I refuse. โI need to see my men.โโAlpha,โ one of the medics tries to reason with me. โYou are injured.โ โI am not dying,โ I groan at the medic, and I struggle to make my way up the hill to the pack house. My hands claw at the ground in front of me as I try to make it to the top of the hill. I can hear Elizabeth groan behind me, and she wraps her arm around my waist to help me to the pack house. โYou really need to be seen,โ she hisses under her breath. โLa

Liz POV I donโt look over my shoulder to see what Faris Jr is doing, but by the look on Nicoโs wolfโs face, it is horrific. I can tell that Nicoโs wolf wants to run from the Lycan King, but something is keeping him here. He has to know that this is a battle he cannot win, but it appears he is willing to die trying. Something furry brushes up against my leg, and I glance down to see Duko standing at my side. He looks awful. Deep cuts are oozing across his black fur, and chunks of flesh are missing from his body. I donโt know how he is still standing. โIโve got it from here,โ Deimos voice breaks through my mind. But I donโt move from my protective stance. โYou are injured.โ โI have been worse,โ Deimos lies to me. โThis is my fight, not yours.โ I know I have to back away. Deimos needs to be the one to kill his father. After everything he has been through, he deserves that much. Nicoโs wolf is pawing at the ground, growling at Duko. They are getting ready to attack ea

Liz POV โYou can run, but you canโt hide,โ Nico calls out from behind me. โI know these woods like the back of my hand. I will find you.โ Panic and adrenaline are coursing through my veins as I slip between the trees. I duck under low branches and squeeze through narrow tree openings. Trying to find any way to slow Nico down. My feet are slipping on the fallen leaves as I run, but I try not to let it slow me down. I have never done much training, and I am beginning to get winded. โI donโt know how much longer I can run,โ I whine to Majesty. โYou just have to keep going for a little longer,โ she encourages me. โOur mate is on his way. I can sense it.โ I donโt dare look over my shoulder as I flee. I donโt want to know how close Nico is to catching me. He is faster and stronger than I am. I may have been able to take down Brittany with just my claws, but I wonโt be able to take on Nico alone. I trip over a fallen branch and tumble onto the ground. Glancing over my s

Deimos POV Willow jumps right into the action. Balls of flames burst from her hands and they hit the enemies in the chest. The fire engulfs their bodies and immediately turns them into piles of ash. Once the flames ruin their target they fly through the air, back into Willowโs hands. She is miraculous to watch. Ripping off my shirt, I leap into the air. Before my feet hit the ground, Duko has taken control. His paws hit the ground with a thud and a fearsome growl leaves his lips. Several of Nicoโs warriors turn and look in my direction. I have never faced a lycan before, but they are much more terrifying than I expected. They look kind of like a wolf standing on two feet, but their limbs are long and gangly. Terrifying claws extend from the end of their human-like hands. Several of them surround Duko, and I have to push back the fear that is building in my chest. A lycan standing before me looks at me, and an awkward smile spreads across his grotesque face. With

Liz POV I watch Deimos for only a moment before I run toward the door that leads to the cells. I promised that I would hide, and I will keep that promise. I tug on the door, and it swings open easily. Rushing down the stairs, I let Majesty guide me through the dark. The dungeon is silent. All of the cells are empty as I rush past them. I make it to the cell at the very end of the dungeons, and I swing the door open. I press all of the bricks on the wall until the back of the cell opens. The secret door opens loudly, scraping against the floor of the dungeon. It causes me to cringe, and I hope that no one hears it. I slip through the door and push it shut behind me. Bracing my hands against the hidden door, I allow myself to breathe loudly. I donโt think anyone will hear me in here. Resting my hand on my stomach, I remind myself why I am hiding. I have to save the next white wolf. The sound of dripping water echoes in the distance, and memories of being trapped down

Deimos POV I am standing on the front porch of the pack house, staring out at a mass of lycan warriors. King Faris Jr is standing at the front, commanding his forces. Ace is standing at my side with his mouth wide open. Ace nudges me on the shoulder, and I tear my eyes away from the army in front of me. โDid you know that they were coming?โ He asks. I can only shake my head. When Willow said that Faris Jr was going to take care of the Nico problem, I had no idea that it was going to be this. I walk down the stairs of the porch and stand at Faris Jrโs side. As I approach him, I bare my neck in submission. โWhat is all this?โ I ask Faris Jr. โI am here to help you,โ Faris Jr replies with a smile on his face. โThis isnโt your fight,โ I remind him. โIt became my fight when Nico recruited lycans,โ Faris Jr growls. โI have to remind my citizens of their place.โ โWhen is Nico coming?โ I ask. โThatโs the thing,โ Faris Jr says hesitantly. โI am not sure if he is brav
