Azrik’s POV

While Lunessa slept that night, I slipped out with my Beta under the veil of darkness. Answers,we needed them, and I would stop at nothing to get them.

We entered the mansion cloaked in shadows. I made my way to Liora’s room, silent as a ghost. The scent hit me first, faint but unmistakable. Hidden beneath the bed, I found it. A tiny glass vial, no larger than my thumb, glinting in the dim light.

The moment I uncorked it, the scent curled into my senses, sweet, deceptively pleasant. Like crushed rose petals at the height of bloom. Poison masked in beauty. Rowen, my wolf, growled low in my chest.

‘We’ve smelled this before.’

‘Yes. Among the council members,’ I answered.

I called my Beta immediately. With heightened senses and Rowen guiding me, we tracked the scent through the sleeping pack lands, weaving past homes until it grew stronger, sharper. It led us to a modest house tucked in the eastern corner.

We knocked. The moment the door creaked open and the man saw us, his

  • Marked By Midnight    Chapter 118: What We Never Were

    Azrik’s POVLunessa walked out of the dining room. I loved that about her, quiet strength, graceful defiance.I turned to Kaelina, unimpressed. “Did you really have to disrespect yourself like that?”She scoffed. “What? I was just trying to be nice to the girls.”“You’re lucky Shaelith didn’t roast you alive.”“Roast?” she echoed, confused.“Literally,” I said, holding her gaze. Her pupils widened, she knew I wasn’t bluffing.She looked away and popped a grape into her mouth, suddenly too quiet.“So what now?” she asked after a moment. “Now that your precious Luna is back? The one you were obsessed with?”“I still am,” I replied flatly. “I miss her even when she’s sitting right in front of me.”Kaelina inhaled slowly, holding back whatever emotion trembled in her throat.“You have to leave,” I said. “Not just for her sake, but for your safety.”Her eyes darted back to me. “That’s it? We had something, Azrik. Or did that mean nothing to you? You used me, treated me like a placeholder,

  • Marked By Midnight    Chapter 117: Where We Belong

    Lunessa’s POVThe children were in awe.Guards stood in crisp formation as our car pulled up to the courtyard beside the fountain, bowing deeply in perfect synchrony. They opened the door for us to step out.“Wow… this is Daddy’s house?” Shaelith whispered, wide-eyed.Ever since the journey began, I’d noticed the way she looked at Azrik had changed, more admiration, more curiosity. She was slowly seeing him through a different lens.“It’s so big!” Seraphira added.“Wait until morning,” I smiled softly. “You’ll see it better in daylight.”Though the palace grounds were lit brilliantly by streetlamps and spotlights, nothing compared to the grandeur the sun would reveal.We went straight to Azrik’s chambers. Shaelith practically skipped beside me, her eyes lighting up as she stepped into the deep black interior. Without wasting much time, we freshened up. Despite the late hour, Draven personally brought us food. Apparently, he’d informed the chef well ahead of our arrival.Draven gave

  • Marked By Midnight    Chapter 116: Velgrath Atlast

    Lunessa’s POVAzrik stirred beside me, rubbing his eyes as he slowly came to. “Yes?” he mumbled groggily.“Shhh,” I whispered, clutching his arm. “I heard something outside. Like steel clashing.”He blinked, clearly still half-asleep. “It’s probably just the wind,” he muttered, already turning to face the wall again.“No, Azrik,” I insisted, my voice firm but low. “That wasn’t the wind.”Reluctantly, he stood and padded quietly to the door. I remained on the bed, eyes darting between the sleeping girls. A few moments later, Azrik returned. He lay back down and gently pulled me into his arms, tucking me against his chest.“So?” I asked, heart still pounding.“Just some rats who tried to sneak up,” he said, voice barely above a murmur. “But the assassins took care of it.” IMy breath hitched. “Wait… what? Rats?”“Not the kind with fur,” he muttered. “Now sleep, Ness.” He kissed my forehead.I didn’t ask any more questions. I just listened to the steady beat of his heart as he drifted b

  • Marked By Midnight    Chapter 115: I Still Choose You

    Lunessa’s POVI scoffed, shaking my head with a soft smile. “Azrik, do you really think I’d walk away now? After everything we’ve seen, and what still lies ahead?”His brows furrowed with uncertainty. “So… no? You’re okay staying with an assassin?” he asked, his voice laced with disbelief.I reached for his hand. “I want all of you. The shadows, the scars, the truths that haunt you, I’ll take them all. It doesn’t matter what you did or who you were. We’re in this together now.” I inhaled. “I love you, Azrik.”His breath caught. “This… this is the first time you’ve said those words.”“And I mean every syllable,” I said, my voice unwavering.He leaned in and kissed me, as if the words had unlocked something in him. His arms wrapped around me, holding me close like I might disappear. “I love you more, Lunessa,” he whispered against my ear, voice thick with emotion. “More than you can ever imagine.”We held each other in that still moment, letting the silence say what words couldn’t. Tha

  • Marked By Midnight    Chapter 114: The Alpha Behind The Mask

    Lunessa’s POVI took the papers from his hand, dropped it on the table, and stared at him.“What will happen if we return to Velgrath?” I asked quietly. “I mean… your wife is still there.”He sighed deeply, pinching the bridge of his nose. “Stop calling her my wife, Lunessa. You know that was nothing but an arrangement. I didn’t even marry her properly.”“I know,” I muttered, looking away. “But still… I’m not risking having my children anywhere near a woman who once desired you. Not after everything that’s happened.”He reached out and brushed a strand of hair from my face. “Don’t worry. Immediately we return, she'll leave. Besides, I’m sure everyone there has seen the video by now.”The words did little to settle me. If anything, they stirred my unease further.“Wait…,” I whispered. “...It’s dangerous. Everyone knows we're traveling back to Velgrath. If any of the Pale Fang members saw that footage…”“Some might attack,” he finished grimly. “I know.”There was a short silence between

  • Marked By Midnight    Chapter 113: The Error They Couldn't Erase

    Lunessa’s POVI was proud immensely proud of what Azrik did today. Appointing Lucien as Alpha wasn’t just a political move, it was a lifeline. The man was capable, thoughtful, and just enough of a rebel to ignite real change. The kind that doesn’t destroy traditions, but breathes new life into them.I knew he wouldn’t try to erase their ways, but he’d make things better, starting with technology, access to banking, and building real infrastructure that could provide jobs for their children. A future. Something they were long denied.Lucien called for a few men, and they quietly wrapped Thorne’s body. There were no chants, no candles, no ceremonial farewells. Just a silent burial in the woods, the same way they’d have buried a traitor, or an outsider.We stayed with Vanya the rest of the day. Even when I insisted I was fine, she refused to leave. I liked that about her. Gentle, but unshakable.“I’m just glad it’s over now,” I whispered, almost afraid to believe it.She exhaled deeply,
