Edwardo's POV

I glide through the water, my arms pulling hard as I stroke to the end. When I reach it, I stop, breathing heavily. A hundred lengths isn’t as easy as it used to be. I rest my forehead on my arms at the edge and breathe deeply, my heart sitting like a rock in my chest.

Five months.

Five goddess-damned months, and nothing. Not a fucking whisper.

Samuels has disappeared as well, and now two more of the deep-cover agents’ signals have blinked out too. It’s a fucking shitshow.

I sigh

  • Marked by fate   Chapter 285

    Aiden's POVWhen Blood Moon finally comes into view, my stomach twists. Fucking finally. The landscape is so familiar now, I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve flown in to help with the searches. Or for updates from Alpha Lucas and Delta Greg. I can’t quite believe I’m finally arriving because they’ve found her. Goddess!When we finally touchdown on the small airfield/ field outside Blood Moon, the landing is rough enough to rattle my teeth. This really isn’t a runway, but needs must. They converted it to a makeshift one when the searches ramped up from here. We needed to bring in equipment and warriors to help. They tried to improve it as best they can, but it’s still bumpy as shit.But I don’t give a fuck.Ajax is about to claw his way out of my skin, and I’m about ready to sprint to her. I need to see my cousin, my future queen, and I really fucking need to see my best friend.There’s a car waiting, a warrior at the wheel, who drives us without any fanfare straight to the hospita

    Aiden's POVWe all scramble inside. I don’t even know how I’m moving right now. I feel like I’m having some sort of out-of-body experience. All I can feel is Jasmine’s hand in mine as we climb the stairs.“Fuck, James,” Dad says suddenly halfway up. “I need to tell him.”He turns to Mum, but she says, “Go, I’ll pack. Go tell them.”Before he can say anything, he kisses her on the forehead and then hurries upstairs towards the royal residence.As we approach our landing, my ears pick up raised voices, slightly muffled by the thick carpets and heavy drapes in this area of the castle, but my sensitive hearing picks it up anyway.I look at Mum and Jasmine, then turn and hurry up the stairs, my heart bursting into overdrive again, my adrenaline already so close to the edge.I take the stairs two at a time and find Dad and James head-to-head, snarling at each other.“Why would you disturb us to rub it in? Why couldn’t you just leave us in peace? Is this some sick joke?”Sophie is trying to

    Aiden's POVI let out a sigh as I stretch my legs out in front of me and watch Jasmine, Yara, Emily, and Felix’s new mate, Kirsten, play volleyball in the pool. I take a swig of my beer. This is the first time we’ve really let loose since everything happened. With the state of the kingdom, there hasn’t been much downtime, but our fathers suggested we need to try and bond more with Felix and his new mate, so here we are.I watch Kirsten squeal as she celebrates her score and frown slightly.None of us have warmed to her.I know she wasn’t here when everything went down, but she just seems too... happy all the time. She isn’t concerned that Tobias has been lost forever, or that Zahra...No.She’s entirely too happy to find that she’s going to be Luna Queen, and far too ready to lord it over everyone. She’s careful not to show that side to anyone too important, but the girls have all seen her being a completely entitled brat in front of the castle staff.And it’s a real worry.We cannot

  • Marked by fate   Chapter 282

    Edwardo's POVWe step out of the cabin, the cool wind whipping around us as we head over to the small fenced-off area out the back. It’s sheltered, and I guess where equipment and RTVs are stored when the cabin is occupied.Thor is lying on his side, his feet still hobbled together in case he somehow fights off the sedation. I cannot afford for him to either go on a feral rampage and kill someone, or run back into the wilderness.Zahra lets out a small strangled noise as she sees him and hurries over. She crouches down and folds her arms around his neck and shoulders.“How long?” she asks, her voice muffled by his fur.I know what she’s asking.“He disappeared a week after you were taken,” I say, my voice sounding weak.Her head snaps up, her eyes shining with tears. “How long ago was that?” Her voice is a hoarse whisper.Her face is set with horror. She knows. She knows the odds.“Five and a half months,” I say, my voice gentle.Her eyes shutter.Tears stream down her face as she bur

  • Marked by fate   Chapter 281

    Edwardo's POVWe bind Thor with hobbles and hoist him up by his feet from a large branch. Then eight of the warriors lift him and begin to carry him back to the cabin.I can’t fucking believe we found him. Here, of all places.Although I guess it makes sense.Even feral, he found his way to his mate.I thought he was going to attack her just then. I fired on instinct. After everything, I couldn’t stand to see Zahra hurt, but I also know Tobias would never recover if he injured her.I wish the team hadn’t just found out who he was, but I can secure their discretion at the debrief later. No one knows Tobias has been missing or that he’s gone feral. Hopefully I can contain this within the team... and the prisoners.I scan them.Several are injured from the attack. Two are dead, but it could have been worse. Zahra, and Thor, I assume, did a heroic job of protecting them. I know a few of the girls were fighting when we arrived, but this could have ended very badly if we had decided to wait

  • Marked by fate   Chapter 280

    Zahra's POVI hear a disturbance from behind me, and I see a blur of black barrelling out of the trees. The wolf is massive, blood coating his mouth and chest, his fur matted and filthy, his eyes rimmed with red. He looks like a crazed beast.‘Feral, watch out,’ Zanthe yells at me as we continue fighting.Fuck.A feral wolf.I’ve never seen one before, but I’ve heard stories. They are worse than rogues, because without their human they are utterly devoid of any compassion or sanity. Briefly, I feel sorry for this wolf. Given his size and colour, he’s clearly an Alpha, or maybe a powerful Beta. The only reason they tend to go feral is banishment or the loss of their mate.This poor soul.What happened to make him like this?No matter the reason though, this one, given its size and possibly training, will be extremely dangerous and won’t care who it kills. So far it’s helping us, taking out rogue after rogue. From its trajectory and the blood covering it, I’d say it’s been picking off t

    Zahra's POVWe pull up to a large ranch-style house with a wide veranda, tucked into the suburbs of Westchester. The team comprises Edwardo, Morgan, O’Hara, Lieutenant Webster, Captain Mitchel, Captain Ross, Captain Avon, and Captain Delmont.We were finally introduced properly before loading into

    Tobias's POVAs we eat and drink, I relax. Despite the weird behaviour of our wolves, I haven’t felt this settled since the night I spoke to Zahra. Maybe it’s the moonshine. Maybe I should’ve tried that before. Or maybe it’s Thor. Maybe it’s the fact he’s actually here, present, not retreating so f

    Zahra's POVTwenty minutes drags like an hour when you’re sat under fluorescent lighting with nothing to do but anticipate. I watch the door. I watch Grady. I watch the other warriors and try to read their shoulders, their hands, their breathing. Everyone is pretending not to give a shit. Everyone

    Tobias's POVI stare at my phone. Still nothing.It’s been a fucking week, and there’s still no reply.I thought we’d cleared the air that night. The night I exposed my neck and bared my soul to her. I cried. She cried. She let me hold her. And then she’s just… ghosted me since.The small part of m
