Rae

I had once given in to Von’s demands. And once again, I ignored the nagging voice in my head telling me I shouldn’t. Why do I keep doing this?

Anna sat on the edge of my bed, watching me as I hesitated before my packed suitcase. “It might actually be a nice experience,” she said, her voice light, as if trying to make me feel better.

I rolled my eyes. “You don’t have to point out the positives all the time.”

Anna smirked, reaching for my suitcase and handing it to me. “It’s not going to be bad, Rae. Just try to survive.”

I took the suitcase reluctantly, my fingers gripping the handle a little too tightly. “Easy for you to say. You’re not the one being dragged into this.”

She shrugged. “You’re the one who always manages to get yourself into these messes, so now you have to deal with it.”

I let out a sigh, watching as she walked toward the door. “You’ll be fine,” she added before leaving.

A few moments later, Von stepped in. “All set?”

I nodded, still feeling u

    VonI felt the warmth of her hand in mine and a soft yet electric sensation that sent a ripple through me. I wasn’t sure why I had grabbed Rae’s hand in the first place, but as we walked through the grand hall, the weight of it in my palm felt grounding, and I didn’t want to let go. Then, as I caught sight of Edgar, I quickly did. Rae’s expression changed, but she remained close, standing just slightly behind me as the ceremony began. The entire hall was alive with dancing, singing, and the clinking of goblets. The newly crowned Alpha of the Silver Mist Pack sat at the center of it all, and he had a bright smile on his face. He was different from his father—Gerald who never wore a smile, and I was sure the people of the pack were happy to finally have a leader like him.As I pulled my gaze away, I noticed one of the Alphas from a neighboring pack approaching me. I adjusted myself on the table awaiting his arrival.“Alpha von!” The alpha said in a stern voice. “Just the man I

    Rae Von was wrong. This whole experience wasn’t enjoyable, and I certainly wasn’t learning anything about the Silver Mist Pack. If anything, I was growing more frustrated as the days pass. The next morning, I was left with the other maids. It wasn’t exactly a punishment, but it felt like one. While Von was off doing whatever royal wolves did during ceremonial visits, I was stuck in the servant quarters, surrounded by unfamiliar faces, listening to stories I had no interest in. Some of the maids were scrubbing linens, others sorting through silverware and decorations for the upcoming event. Most of them, however, were talking. I sat in the corner, half-listening as they gossiped about their Alphas and Lunas. “Alpha Cedric is the worst,” one of them sighed dramatically. “He barely even acknowledges us unless something’s out of place.” “At least your Alpha ignores you,” another muttered. “Mine remembers me. And not in a good way.” There was a soft chuckle, but I c

    RaeThe moment I stepped outside, I felt a lot better.I was so thankful to Malcolm for whisking me away. I needed this but I didn’t tell him that. I kept a straight face.Malcolm walked beside me, and as we ventured out of the packed gate, his presence was oddly reassuring even though I barely knew him. “Going somewhere dangerous, are we?” I asked, arching a brow. Malcolm smirked, slipping his hands into his pockets. “Would it be fun if we weren’t?” His easygoing nature put me at ease, though I know I shouldn’t let it. As we walked deeper into the forest, the pack grew faint as I glanced back at the path we had walked. I didn’t even know that we had walked this far.“It’s weird to see a Royal who’s not interested in the ceremony,” I spoke as I turned to look at him.“Like I said before I’m different.” Malcom pointed out. “And have come to realize that people don’t like different that’s why I chose to stay away from them.” “So that’s why you’re not mingling with the other alphas

    Rae My breath caught in my throat and my heart pounded violently in my chest as I remembered my experiences with rogues. These crazy wolves wouldn’t stop until they killed someone. I turned to look at Malcolm who had his eyes glued on them. He looked like he was ready to fight. I sighed. Why can’t I ever go on a trip that ends peacefully? “Rogues,” Malcom said stating the obvious and his words had caught their attention. The man who had spoken earlier grinned. “Smart kid,” he drawled. “Too bad you won’t live long enough to share more of your intelligence with the world.” I swallowed hard. Malcolm raised his hands slightly and he pointed it in the man’s direction while his other hand remained on me. “I don’t want blood on my hands,” he said carefully. The man I assumed was their leader chuckled. “Oh, but we do.” Everything happened quickly, one minute I was standing next to Malcolm and the next the rogue leader had gripped my arm in a bruising hold, yanking me away fr

    Von“There’s one thing I gotta tell you, young Prince-“ Bruce's irritatedly loud voice filled the air.“What’s that?” Edgar asked.“Ruling a pack is really fun. You will get to find your Luna and if she’s beautiful you will have a pretty woman by your side and many more that’s if you fancy some fun.”I shook my head as I took in his other words. I couldn’t believe that Edgar was actually listening to him. It seemed everyone at the table was doing the same because everywhere was quiet and their eyes were glued to him.I grabbed my goblet and noticed it was half empty.I looked around for the servers and the minute I sighted one I raised my goblet.The server approached me, poured me a drink, and disappeared.“Don’t be like Von!” Bruce's irritating voice picked up. “He’s the only one in the wolf kingdom who we know doesn’t have a bastard.”“My father doesn’t have a bastard,” Edgar spoke up.Bruce chuckled. “Lies, they tell you.”Edgar looked confused and I just rolled my eyes.“Von, he

    Von I had barely made it past the gate before my eyes landed on a familiar figure. Malcolm— the 57th crowned prince of the Red Flames pack. I didn’t know he was around.As I analyzed him, I noticed he was carrying someone in his arms. The second I recognized the person in his hands I growled.The scent of blood was sharp in the air, making my wolf stir violently inside me. My fists clenched at my sides as rage took over my chest. What the hell happened?Malcolm looked exhausted, his dark hair disheveled, his clothes torn in places. But none of that mattered to me. My focus was solely on Rae—her pale face, and the blood staining her clothing. I stormed forward. “What the hell happened?” Malcolm met my glare. “Rogues,” he said. “They attacked us.” Another growl rumbled in my throat, my hands itching to hit something—someone. I took another step toward him. “And what were you doing with her in the first place?” “The guards had told me they had seen you wander off. I hope yo

    Rae A knock at the door stirred me from my thoughts. My body was still sore, though the pain had reduced a bit. I shifted slightly, pulling the blankets tighter around me before calling out, “Come in.” The door creaked open, and Malcolm stepped inside. His expression was unreadable at first, but then his lips curved as his gaze swept over me. Without a word, he strode forward and dropped to his knees beside the bed. “I’m sorry,” he said, his voice was filled with guilt. “I never should have taken you out there. This is all my fault.” I sighed, shaking my head. “Malcolm, it’s fine.” “No, it’s not.” His fists clenched. “You got hurt because of me.” I reached out, placing a hand on his arm. “I made my own choice. You didn’t force me to go.” His tense shoulders eased slightly. He looked at me for a long moment before offering a small smile. “You’re stronger than you look, you know.” I scoffed. “I don’t know if bleeding out in the forest qualifies as strength.” “It do

    RaeI stared at Malcolm, in this belief. “You have to be kidding.”“I’m not,” Malcom said. “I’m actually going to do this.”“You sound ridiculous,” I said. “The whole idea is very ridiculous.”“It’s not,” Malcom said. He had stood on his feet and now he was leaning against the wall, with an infuriating smirk plastered on his face. “This is a way for me to prove my point. A smart way.”“There’s nothing smart about this. This is crazy Malcom and I don’t think we should do this.”Malcolm's brow furrowed.“Why do you sound scared?”I huffed. “It’s because I am, I don’t think Von is someone we should mess with. Your plan would only irritate him.”“And that would give me the proof I need!” He added, just after that word left my lips.I huffed. “And what exactly is that proof you need?” Malcolm straightened, stretching his arms over his head before giving me a lazy grin. “That Von likes you. Why are you acting like you have forgotten?”I rolled my eyes. “That’s because I don’t believe you

    Von The sound of the crowd's cheers echoed through the gate, as I raised the artifact in my hand. “I have found a way to end the curse,” I repeated.“To save us all!” I continued. “This would wipe off the pain and suffering we have endured.”“Our lives shall once again be filled with joy.” They continued to cheer me on but their joyous voices faded behind me as I turned my back on them, my heart hammering in my chest. I needed to see Rae. Now.“The Luna has given birth,” Roy said as I stepped through the entrance. His voice was calm, but the weight of his words brought me to a halt. I looked at him in disbelief. “What?” “It’s a girl,” he added, smiling. I didn’t waste a second. My feet carried me up the stairs like the wind was at my back. When I opened the door, I saw Rae—cradling the child in her arms, her face bathed in soft light. My breath caught in my throat.She looked up at me with tired eyes, and then down again at the tiny baby bundled against her chest. I moved c

    RaeI stood in front of the mirror, my hand hovering gently over my stomach. My skin was stretched, round, and tight.I rubbed my hands round my stomach and I smiled, but the smile didn’t last. It had been four months since Von had left. Four months since I had last seen him. I never got to say goodbye. The thought still ached deep inside me. I wished I had listened to Anna, wished I had stopped him or at least spoken to him before he left, but I didn’t. I let my emotions take over and eat my mind.Behind me, a voice broke the silence. “Are you okay?” Anna’s voice was soft. I turned to face her and nodded slowly. “I’m fine… I was just thinking. The baby’s almost here.” She stepped closer, worry written all over her face. “Are you scared?” I hesitated before answering. “I’m worried. Not for myself… for the baby.” Anna furrowed her brow. “Why? The baby will be born into a better world—once Von returns with the artifact.” “That’s what scares me,” I whispered. “What if they

    Von The distance between Rae and me grew day by day. And I didn’t try to close it. Not because I didn’t want to, but because I understood why it was happening. This was too much for her to process—there was too much pain involved. She needed space, and I wasn’t going to force my presence into a storm she hadn’t calmed yet.So I kept to myself, locking the emotions away and burying my mind in strategy. Every hour was spent thinking, reading old texts, flipping through scrolls.I was searching for any solid thread that could lead to the artifact the seer spoke of. I wanted to be sure that it was real and just something that was made up, when I finally found an old book that documented old artifact I was happy. So it exited. As I closed that book, I made my decision. I was going to find it. And I wasn’t going alone.Landon was coming with me.The idea settled like steel in my bones. I dragged myself out of bed, the morning chilly air biting at my skin as I stood before the mirror and

    Von I was torn between two options—go after Rae or deal with the information that the guard just delivered to me.My feet itched to chase her down the servants’ quarters, and to make her feel better… but duty pulled me in the other direction.Roy was already a few steps ahead, and I followed him down the corridor, my gaze still locked on the hallway Rae had disappeared into.“He told you he found a witch?” I asked, my voice sharp.Roy nodded without looking back. “Yes, Your Majesty. Said he found her near the valley.”“And you believe that nonsense?” I pressed, picking up my pace.“What do you mean?” Roy glanced back at me.“Do you really think he found a real witch? Or is this just some random old woman he picked up to fool us again?” My tone was filled with suspicion.Roy hesitated. “I… I don’t know. He seemed sure of her. That’s all I can say.”I didn’t push him further. I clenched my jaw and kept walking, letting silence carry the weight of my thoughts. Landon was a snake—one wh

    Rae I stared at Anna in disbelief, my lips parted but no words coming out. I couldn’t believe what I just heard. I felt like I was in a nightmare. I managed to pull myself out of the haze staring back at Anna. “You’re saying… I have to die to save the kingdom?” My voice cracked as I spoke, and my legs felt unsteady beneath me.Anna gave a slow nod, her eyes filled with sadness.“I don’t understand,” I said, forcing myself to stand. “Why me? How am I the reason for the curse?”“I don’t know, Rae,” she replied gently. “But Von might. He’s been keeping everything to himself. I think he knows more than he’s saying.”I shook my head. “This can’t be real. I refuse to believe it.”My heart pounded in my chest. I felt like I couldn’t breathe. The walls were closing in. A thousand thoughts ran through my mind, crashing into each other. I didn’t want to cry, but tears burned behind my eyes anyway.Anna stepped closer. “Please calm down. Landon’s looking for a witch. He believes there might b

    RaeThe dim light crept into view, it was blurry and soft at first, like a distant memory trying to settle into focus. My head felt heavy, and my body… foreign. I blinked a few times, trying to ground myself in the space around me. Everything was unfamiliar. I was disoriented. My arms ached, and when I looked down, I noticed wires—tubes—stripped across my body. I couldn’t tell if they were for healing or restraint.Then suddenly I heard soft sobs which broke through my haze.I turned my head, and my eyes landed on Anna. She was hunched over in a chair across the room, her shoulders trembling. Her voice cracked as she muttered to herself, “I think I’ve made a mistake… I shouldn’t have let him go…”What was she talking about? And why was she crying?“Anna…” My voice came out hoarse, it was low and if she wasn’t sitting close by. I was sure she wouldn’t have heard it.Anna’s head jerked up after those words left my lips. Her eyes widened like she’d seen a ghost. “Rae?” she gasped. T

    VonThe moment, I saw Landon move I halted my steps, trying to figure out where he was heading. He directed his horse towards the side of the river while he rested on one of the stones. He was facing me now, but because of the trees I was well hidden and I couldn’t be easily detected. I kept watching, waiting for the opportunity when he would finally turn his back. Eventually, he did, and just as I was about to launch myself at him, my horse let out a sharp, loud snort.Landon jerked his head up and during that moment his eyes found mine. I wondered if he had seen me, but the moment I saw him reach for his horse I got the answer to my question.Landon pulled his horse out of the river in one fast move, climbed onto the saddle, and kicked hard. The animal responded instantly, racing through the shallow water, splashing and tearing through the trees.“Landon!” I growled, then yanked my reins.I mounted quickly and dug my heels in. My horse moved forward, its hooves digging into the t

    VonI stared at Anna with a coldness that could freeze fire. My eyes locked onto hers, searching for answers, for some kind of remorse, but all I saw was silence. Her lips stayed pressed together, and it was clear she wasn’t planning on explaining anything anytime soon.My anger ignited. It roared up from my chest like a beast unchained. I hit her against the cage once again.“You dare remain silent?” I growled through clenched teeth. “You set him free and you stand here with your mouth shut like it means nothing?”Her gaze flicked to mine, and finally, she spoke in a soft tone. “Even if I explain things to you… you’ll never understand.”I scoffed, tightening my grip. “Did he promise you something? Huh? Is that it? Did Landon feed you some sweet little story?”“No,” she snapped back. “He didn’t promise me anything.”I let out a humorless laugh. “Then why? What in the hell made you think this was a good idea?”She yanked her arm out of my grasp. “Because he said he wants to help this c

    Von The night had arrived.I sat in my chambers, wide awake. My sword rested beside me on the table, a sharp glint catching the flicker of torchlight from the wall. I hadn't slept, not even for a second. My instincts told me tonight would be the night they'd try it—the traitors among my guards. Anna’s warning had been clear, and my men were ready. My loyal guards were stationed throughout the palace, hiding in shadows, crouched in corners, armed to the teeth.I paced slowly across the room, boots echoing faintly against the stone floor. Then—just as I paused—came the sound. A low grunt. Then another. It started outside my door. The fight had begun.I moved quickly into the shadows, pressing my back against the cold wall. I could hear the scuffle grow louder. Then came footsteps rushing toward my chamber. Someone was coming for me.I didn’t move.I waited.The door creaked open. I saw the silhouette step in, sword drawn. He didn’t see me. He thought I’d be asleep.He took three step
