Lucius’s point of viewThat shriek!I could recognise that voice anywhere. What happened to Katrina?‘She is fine’ Zane, my wolf echoes as I try to fight off the wolves who are charging towards me. I cannot keep my emotions in check. Every time I move further away, my mind travels back to Katrina’s screams.Her plan was working, and we were pushing the rogues back, but what worries me is that I cannot see Gamma Suri.What if we were wrong? I throw the body of the rogue on the ground before charging again after the other rogue. ‘We are not. It is exactly as we had predicted. If Gamma Suri was looking for Bianca, then too bad for her’ Zane growled as we went through the rogue pushing further into the crescent pack. We were finally gaining more ground.‘Do you think if The King’s Beta died there’s a chance of us getting Katrina?’ Zane asked as I lunged at the wolf in front of me, ripping out his heart and he fell to the ground, groaning in pain.‘I don’t know. Why do you ask?’ I asked
Xavier’s point of viewCrouching down, I watched as everything unfolded. Katrina had been clear that we should wait for the signal.“What the fuck is happening? We are sitting duck here,” one man murmured behind me and I ignored him.I have been in a war for a long time, and I know better than to disobey an order like the one Katrina gave us.“Our orders are to wait until the signal. We are not to move until the signal,” I barked over my shoulder.And everyone just kept quiet as I waited for the signal, looking at theI lead my men to prepare to attack the border. The Crescent Pack border was very well fortified, with electric wires and a wall fence.Think Xavi. What is the best way to bring it down? I inwardly thought. Explosives? Or maybe go over the wall?No. I shake my head.We would be trapping ourselves.Just like Katrina had predicted, the border was going to be hard. The fight was taken away from here, so we can be able to infiltrate the borders while they fought on the front.
Xavier’s point of view”Bianca went to the border where Katrina’s squad was and said to the people behind her,“Charge up there! Use the C-4” she ordered after shifting back to her human form.Blackfang’s soldiers pushed away Katrina’s squad members, who were defending the position. “ “Get out of the way! We will go up there!” they said, planting the bombs.“Bianca!” I rushed towards her, but she was not wavering. She was determined to make sure she succeeded. But at what cost?Katrina’s squad members said, “Tell your people to back off! We have strict fucking order, Blackfang! It will mess up our plan!” Theo shouted at Bianca.“Everyone! Keep going! Theo, back off or you will be blown as well” she ordered as Theo scoffed, shaking his head as he stood guard.“I will not let you do this”“Fun then have it your way” Bianca smirked, giving an affirmative nod to the men planting the explosives, and she moved back for a few metres hiding behind the trees. “Bianca stop. This is...” Before I
Katrina’s point of viewPush. Push, no matter what.I could feel my lungs burn, almost out of breath, but I would not stop. I wanted to make sure they paid for what they did to Thelma. She did not deserve to die like that.I finally made it into the Crescent Pack after so many wounds. Sage spent so much of her energy ensuring that for every cut she was healing it.It was the only thing for which I was grateful. When the explosives went off, I thought it was the rogues, but it was our people. What the fuck was Xavier thinking using explosives> Didn’t he get the instructions? No explosives? Quiet and swift. That is the fuck order I gave.I saw Xavier and the Member of Blackfang advancing. ‘What the fuck?’ I asked through the link.Xavier shouted after her, “Bianca! Do not go in there!” I narrowed my eyes, wondering where the fuck Bianca was going. She had instructions to stay at camp, but she was here. Who was defending our equipment and the territory?I want to go after her but then
Xavier’s point of viewI just wanted to go after her when I was surrounded by Rogue. I realised that although the borders of the Crescent Pack had opened, no one had raised a white flag to surrender, and the Rogue alpha was not part of the battle.Even the high-ranking people from his group were not part of it.This is not a surrender! It is a trap to lure the enemy in!Fuck! We were trapped.Red short hair, a scar on the brow> I could not make out exactly the colour of her hair but from the morning light.We had been at this shit for eight fucking hours.Gamma Suri. the fiancée of Rogue King’s son. What the fuck was she doing here instead of her mate?I looked towards her, and she smirked before turning toward where Bianca was. Over a thousand men behind her. “The target has appeared. Get Bianca Blackfang for me alive!” she said calmly, and all of them went out running, not toward Bianca, but away.“Bianca!” I tried to link to her, but I hit a brick wall every time I tried. She had
Bianca’s point of viewSuri? The gamma? What the hell was happening? I need to find a way to escape.I looked around us, and we were surrounded. We had been cut off by everyone.“What do you want?” I asked her and she smirked.“You killed so many people in the Black Dawn War! You burned to death that commander, who was my mate!” She said, clenching her jaw as I raised a brow.What the hell was she talking about?‘She knows about the Black Dawn War’ My wolf Misty linked to me as I stared down the woman before me.“Your mate? I do not know what the hell you are talking about,” I growled, still holding the dead warrior’s body in front of me to shield myself from her. “Black Shoulder-length hair with a scar on the face? Or to you, a kill doesn’t matter as long as you get the job done,” Gamma Suri said I thought about what she said earlier.It cannot be,Was the young commander the son of the Rogue King? He was the mate to her. My heart raced as I swallowed hard, looking at her.Fuck. I wa
Bianca’s Point of ViewA shiver went down my spine, hearing all the screaming and shouting. One by one, my men were taken from what seemed like a warehouse. “Are you so self-centred that you cannot hear the cry of your people?” she asked me, a smirk on her face. She wanted to intimidate me, but I wasn’t going to let her have that kind of effect on me. I do not care what she says.“They knew what they signed up for when they decided to follow me,” I said, my voice monotone as she nodded her head. She watches me like she is looking for a weak spot, but I hold her gaze longer than she expected.“Pull out their tongues” she ordered, while her gaze was still on me. A sweat broke on my forehead. Taking out their tongues?I curled up in fear, and Suri sneered, “They can beg for mercy, but if you do, it will only make their deaths less painful!”She stares at me as I chuckle dryly, shaking my head. “I would never beg,” “As expected, but trust me by the time I am done with you. You will be beg
Bianca’s point of view“No! No!” I shouted as she leaned over, coming over to Dave as they held him down. The specific medicine she got was wolfsbane and another herb which awakens your wolf. It makes you see things which you have tried to get rid of while weakening your wolf.The second syringe of that medicine can send you into heat., Making you have this urge to have sex with anything or anything. “What was that you said About Alberto?” she asked, coming closer to me. “he was a little bitch?” she tilts her head as they push the medicine in Dave, mixing it. She was going to torture him. He will rip himself to shreds and, if anything, all of us in here. “No! Let him go” I shouted, and she smirked as Dave started shaking his body so much.“Isn’t it the same method you used on my mate? While you also were gutting him out”Tears gather in her eyes as I try to shake off my shackles. Dave looks so much in pain. “You know how many nights I pictured you dying by my hands? The day I would fi
Lucius’s point of viewMate? Someone was trying to fucking me over. I had enough of all of this shit. It was either I tell Katrina the truth or I would never be able to.“Lucius. You’re scaring me” she whispered after I pulled over at the curb in front of my condo. “I can’t do this” She shakes her head, but I offer her my hand.“I know it seems like things are not making sense, but just this once, Katrina. Trust me,” I insist, not sure how the fuck I am going to do this, but I know I have to do it.She stares at my hand before placing hers. “I hope you have a better explanation for this,” she steps out. And I take her hand, leading her into the building.I was going to show her everything. I don’t know how she would take it, but I was going to do it. She kept staring up at me as I led the way into the house.Once we get into the house. I led her to the kitchen, grabbing a bottle of whiskey.“Want a glass?” I offer, but she declines.“Lucius, you are scaring me. What’s wrong?” she asks
Katrina’s point of viewOh Goddess! He is going to kill her. Lucius will kill his mate.“You are not my mate! Tell me who sent you?” He demanded, his voice cold.“I am—”“You lie to me, and I will rip out your throat right now!” he growled, and she gasped for air, looking at me pleadingly, tears in her eyes as I stepped back.“Help me.” Her voice came out pleadingly, so soft and desperate.My heart pounded against my chest as I shook my head, walking towards Lucius.“Lucius,” I whispered, tears falling from my eyes as I placed my sweaty, tear-stained hand on his shoulder. He turned to look at me, his eyes flickering between colors.“Let her go.”“I will fucking drop her dead right now” he growled as I shook my head, choking back a sob. How did I find myself in the same position twice now?“You can’t!”“Yes, I can,” he growled, the finality in his voice sending a shiver down my spine. He plans to kill his mate.‘You need to stop him.’ Sage echoes, panic coursing through me as I close m
Lucius’s point of viewMorning Dew. Fresh rain filled my nostrils. Katina’s scent.I snapped my head towards the holding cells. Zane stirred in my mind wanting to make a run for the cells.But when I walked into the little waiting area, my eyes were not drawn to Katrina. It was a woman I had never seen before.She had all the scents Katrina had. “mate” the lips left her plumps lips immediately I walked into the room.Blonde shoulder-length hair with hazel green eyes and a sharp nose. “No,” I shook my head.“What?” She raised her thick brows as I stepped back.“You can’t be…” The words left my lips just as Katrina walked in, her eyes on me, then back to the woman.“No. Don’t come closer to me,” I warned, my heart racing so fast. I wanted to run to her and hold her close to me, taking in her scent.“I am your mate, Lucius.” She whispered, coming closer to me.My eyes snapped to Katrina, whose eyes widened like she had just seen a ghost. Heart drumming so loud, tears filling her beautifu
Katrina’s point of viewWhen I arrived at the barracks, I thought of what I would say to her or do, but now that I was here standing by the door watching her how she was sitting on the floor, knees to her chest and arms curled around them. I felt sorry for her.“What do you want, Katrina?” She asked me as I smiled, walking into the room.“You know he was only twenty-three,” I started, walking towards the window as I looked out towards the training ground.“He wanted to have three kids. Live on a farm and grow things.” I say before turning to her, and she just stares blankly at me with no remorse in her eyes.There was silence in the room, and I could hear her heart pounding so loudly, but she was doing a good job of keeping it together. Go on. Act tough all you want. By the time I am done with you, you will regret ever laying your hands on him.“I should kill you,” I start, and she stills. “But I won’t.”She swallows as I walk towards the screen. “Because death is the easiest way out
Katrina’s point of viewThe priestess went on with the funeral proceedings. Talking about life as a wolf and warrior, Becky gave her speech about how she only knew him for a few months, but felt like they had known each other for the rest of their lives. Then Bray and Taylor also paid their tribute.“You ready?” Lucius whispered as I got up, taking the few cards, I wrote my speech getting up.He walked me to the front as my eyes roamed around white coat warriors, snowpack, and other people I couldn’t recognize, who filled the chairs.My eyes went to the back and noticed Martin was here, and just at the end of the other aisle was Xavier, but looking behind him, I noticed another man standing by the trees with a hoodie. His head lowered.‘He didn’t want to attract a lot of people to him,’ Lucius linked to me.Cassian.He came.“Umm…” I started looking at Bray and Becky before putting the cards aside, then looked at everyone.“Joshua, to me, wasn’t just a warrior. He was my brother. When
Katrina’s point of view“Do we know if he had any family?” Noah asked Becky, who was having a cup of tea later in the evening by the countertop.“Seriously, Noah? He just died,” she snapped.“It’s the procedure. I have to—” he stuttered,“He didn’t. His parents left him on a training ground when he was two days old. He didn’t have a pack. Stayed in snowpack for a while, ” I say to him, and he turns to look at me.“Give me a minute,” I said to him, walking into my room, then came back with a file. “it’s his papers,” I say to him and Becky glances at me then back at Noah.“Katrina, this is…”Yes. I planned to make him officially part of the Snow pack, just like the rest of them. “Did you...” Becky paused, looking at the documents.“I planned to ask you guys the other night. It’s what Willow had been working on,” I explained. Her lips parted to say something, but she just burst out crying, covering her mouth.“He always wanted to belong, and that bitch took him away. I should kill her.”
Lucius’s point of view“No. She killed him. She killed Josh. She killed—” She fell to the ground as I held on tight to her, pulling her into an embrace as she whimpered.“He is gone. Josh is gone,” she whimpered, as I cupped her face.“I am sorry, baby. I wish I could take away your pain,” I whimpered, my chest tightening. I wish I could take the pain away from her and let it be all mine.She stares at me, tears rolling down her cheeks, as I pull her into a hug, and she whimpers loudly.I have never seen her so broken. If Thelma’s death broke her, then this one has crushed her soul completely. “Lucius, I lost him. I lost my friend. I failed to protect him,” she whimpered, holding tight to my jacket as I nodded my head.“I know, baby,” I whisper and let her cry her heart out. Boddy shaking and voice getting huskier.‘Noah. Get some people to take the body to the mogul.’ I linked to him.‘Got it,’ he replied.“I cannot protect them. I cannot even…” Her breath comes in rapid bursts. I ho
Katrina’s point of viewA cry tore from my throat, so unhinged. My heart is pounding against my chest.“You killed him?” I looked up at Katrina, holding Joshua’s warm corpse in my hands, my lips quivering and hands trembling.“You took him away from me. You Bitch!!” The growl left my lips as I put Joshua on the ground.“I warned you, didn’t I? I told you if you ever hurt any of them. I will cut you limb from limb,” I growled, my claws coming out and my canines elongating.‘Katrina, don’t lose your soul,’ Sage echoed, but I was already on my feet, taking steady strides toward her.“Katrina. Please—” Before I could hear the rest, I let that darkness deep inside me take over as I surged at Bianca, but her brother was already in front of her, trying to shift.“Fuck Martin Do not shift!” I heard Lucius shout over his shoulder as he came to stand in front of me.‘Get out of my way, Luc.’ I linked to him, but it came out as a growl to him, and he shook his head.“Calm down, Katrina. Don’t do
Katrina’s point of view“Orion Snow? How did you… how…” I stuttered, tears rolling down my cheeks as he came closer to where I was.“Shannon did a bit of digging, plus your friend Juniper gave me the details,” he says, as I bring my hand to my mouth. He was trying to find them as well.“Let’s go.” He places his hand on my small back, leading the way. I make my way out of the room when I see Bray, Joshua, and Becky pacing around.“I take it I don’t have to punch him again?” Joshua asks, and I shake my head, chuckling softly.“Like you would stand a chance,” Lucius mutters under his breath“Well, at least I tried,” He retorts.“That was brave and stupid,” I say to him, and he shrugs.“At least he knows some people are willing to kill for you,” he laughs, wrapping his arm around Bray’s neck. “Isn’t that right, Bryan?” he asked. Bryan tried to get away from him, but he held on tight.“Where are we going?” Becky asks to join us.“I am going to Green Point. You and them are going back home.
