เข้าสู่ระบบAndrew's POVI was such a fool to think I'd be happy by causing her to feel a little bit of jealousy. Hoping she'd finally come to agree with her feelings for me. But she was good at hiding it—good at feigning that having another woman by my side wasn't hurting her as much as it hurts me.“How long do you need to think about it?”"What?” I asked, a spoonful of my meal midway from my mouth. I had barely heard Diana's question.But she didn't mind repeating herself. “You said you wanted to think about mating with me, but you never told me how long I should wait?”I snorted, "Don't tell me you were expecting an answer tonight.”She shrugged, "Maybe.”"I just think we have to know each other properly before anything else.”She nodded. "I hope that won't take so long.” She said, taking up her glass of wine as she sipped it, glaring at me seductively through the rim of her glass."But what else would you like to know about me? Apart from the other things I told you earlier."“Why don't you
Vera's POVI should have been happy for him—but instead, I was at war with my feelings. Every ache in my heart revealed just how deeply the news saddened me. It was good news, and yet it left me drowning in sorrow.I reminded myself of what mattered most to ease the heaviness pressing on me: I wanted Andrew free of his curse. The cure was finally here. I had to be happy for him, even if the very thought tore me apart inside—even if I was nothing but a coward to admit that I wanted him.I watched from my bedroom window as Rick’s car pulled into the driveway. The moment he parked, a woman stepped out—a lady with chestnut-brown hair styled neatly yet regally, her figure draped in a beautiful gown that caught the morning sunlight with every movement.I hated to admit it, but she was beautiful and she looked like a lady from a noble house. I sank on my bed, thinking of how stupid I was for not admitting my true feelings. But regrets are only a waste of time; I can't undo my mistakes now, a
Andrew's POV“A silver She-wolf?" My mind reeled. That was all I could fathom at that moment: the news's impossibility. For so many years, the search for a silver She-wolf—for a cure, had been futile, and suddenly—it exists. Was the moon goddess playing a joke on my life?Just when I had given up. Just when I allowed myself to love someone freely, she decided to dangle the solution to my curse before me.“When should I bring her to you?" Rick asked as he closed the door behind him.I moved towards my window, staring out but not really seeing anything. I tried to think deeply about the whole thing again. It was like a dream to me, like the impossible had somehow stepped into reality.I turned back to him, my voice sharper than intended. “First things first, how are you sure she's the real thing?" I asked, failing at controlling the panic in my voice."She's the real thing,” Rick answered reassuringly. His voice was gentle and calm, and the quiet certainty in his eyes was as though he
Vera's POVThe scorching sun pressed against my skin as I stood on the training field, watching Andrew’s armies move with relentless vigor. Every swing of their swords glittered in the light, every grunt echoed like thunder rolling across the grounds. They weren’t training like recruits—they were fighting like the war was already here.Andrew stood beside me, arms folded, his presence as commanding as the field itself.“What do you think of them?” he asked, tilting his head slightly, his eyes narrowing against the brightness. Even squinting, he carried that dangerous, tempting look that always left me unsettled. His blue eyes shimmered like the ocean, and for a heartbeat, I almost forgot to answer.“Good,” I replied finally, nodding as I forced my attention back to the sweating warriors before us. “They’re vigorous… ready for battle.”He pressed his lips together, his arms tightening across his chest. The tunic he wore stretched over his broad frame, his muscles defined beneath the fa
Lucy's POVIt would've been impossible to take down a man taller than me in a fair fight, so I didn't fight fair. I struck when he least expected it. My claws tore deep into his skull.Poor Jacob—he had tried to fight— but lost. I'd thought he would be smarter, but he fell right into my little trap, and I was the one walking away now. Maybe I should have thought of this a long time ago.After the deal was done, I covered his body with a heap of grass but it was a temporary disguise. By nightfall, the wild beasts would find him and any trace of him would be gone.I wiped my hands with a napkin until the fabric could hold no more. The blood had dried into a dark crust that fought to come off, but I scrubbed until my palms were raw and the worst of it was gone. I climbed into the car and drove back to the pack like a woman who had merely been delayed, not like one who had buried a man in the dirt.Lanterns burned along the lodge when I pulled in. Voices rose and fell like nothing had cha
Lucy's POVMy eyes slowly opened to the light from the new day's sun coursing through the tall glass door. I stirred, reaching for Phil’s warm body beside me, but the space awakened me instead.“Enjoyed your night?" Phil asked from where he stood by the mirror. His reflection smiled at me before he walked towards his wardrobe closet.I smiled back, then propped myself up. “Maybe I did,” I replied. But the activity from last night dispersed around my body like a weakening virus.“I think I need some painkillers." I mentioned, giving my thighs a little massage, Phil snorted.“Do you have Luna's duty today?" He asked while I tied my hair in a bun.I tried not to roll my eyes at that question while I put on my dress. The Luna duties are tiresome tasks and I despised the thought of it—the thought of meeting every sickened peasant in the pack, performing charity towards the children, and every other person who needs aid from the Alpha and Luna.There was no delight in such tasks, instead, th
