Sirella’s pov

The door swung open.

A servant stood there, breathless, wide-eyed.

“My Alpha,” she stammered. “It’s urgent.”

Damien’s fingers tightened around my wrist for a second before he let go. His face didn’t change, but I saw it. Something in his eyes.

Something he didn’t want me to see.

Then, just like that, he turned away. “I’ll deal with this.”

He walked out, not even looking back.

I stood there, staring at the empty space he left behind. My skin still felt the heat of his grip, my chest still felt tight.

I swallowed. Something was wrong.

I turned to the window, pressing my hands against the cold glass. Outside, the sky was dark. The palace grounds were too quiet. A few torches flickered, and I saw shadows moving in the distance.

Guards.

A lot of them.

My stomach twisted.

I didn’t know what was happening, but I knew it wasn’t good.

My fingers curled into fists.

If only I already had my mother.

If she was with me, I wouldn’t have to pretend to be weak. I wouldn’t have to play D

    Sirella’s povHe slowly lifted his hands and stepped backward. I lowered the mirror from his face.He shook his head, as if at himself. “You’re in my pack now, Sirella. I’m the alpha of this pack. If you know what’s good for you, you’ll start obeying me soon enough. Or else I’ll have to do something you’ll regret and trust me, I can be brutal.”I didn’t answer him.He paced around and looked out of the window. “During this time I’ve been called a lot of names and not once have you had my back.”“After that night, I doubt I would have the strength to hold myself from pulling the trigger if I had a gun.”He laughed. “You are one of the few women in this pack that I have slept with that I had high hopes for. Not because of anything important but because I felt a certain attraction towards you.”“It’s called lust. Look it up.”“What if it was more than that?”“Then you would have respected my decision instead of having your way with me.”He nodded with a little chuckle. “Does my son know?

    Sirella’s povI shifted my gaze towards the mirror in my bedroom. My hands came to rest on my big belly, it was big, and I could see the baby move sometimes. The bump was high and strong, reminding me every second that was passing of what I had inside of me. I sighed softly. My eyes looked heavy, tired amidst the dark circles as well as lines marring their beauty. My hair was tied back in a loose bun. And my feet swollen.Gently placing a finger against the reflective glass before me,I told myself that word once more."It will soon be over."A knock distracted me as I cleared my throat.“Come in,” I called, trying to control my voice.The door opened and in walked a healer, her expression kind. "Good morning Sirella," she said, her voice soft. “I’m here to check on the baby and see if the baby is okay.”I nodded as I went to sit on the bed.“Lay down,” she said as I did so.She put her warm hands on my stomach and pushed gently in a couple of spots.“Hmm,” she said concentrating. “T

    Kieran’s povI had always felt insulted when people said that but at this time I felt pity for the idiot behind me. I turned to him. “You have money to pay me but not your debt. You must owe a shit ton of money. Stay away from me.”Then I kept walking as he stood there crying.By the time I reached my cabin, I’d calmed down enough to slam the door behind me. I didn’t bother locking it. If anyone was stupid enough to follow me out here they weren’t going to walk back out.I dropped my jacket on the floor before walking over to the shelf. There, I reached for a bottle and pulled out one of an aged whiskey. Popping it open, I drank from the bottle.It burned—but I liked that pain.I fell into the old wooden chair and stared at the fire. My cabin was so quiet. Too much so. I could hear the creaks, the wind, and the lonesome quite of remembrance.I looked at the walls; I remembered how I built this place myself years ago—just wood, nails and fire. I remembered dreaming of sharing it with

    Kieran’s povOne tried to fight with a staff as I snapped it in two and beat him down with the pieces. Another tried to bite me. I grabbed his jaw and broke it apart.Bones cracked. Blood sprayed. My shirt was wet now, soaked with blood as I kept going. I didn’t want to keep going but I had to.More of the bastards surrounded me. I glanced across the space at the others. Bodies littered the floor. Some dying, some scrabbling away, some crying out for help but I didn’t pause.Then I saw him—their alpha. He was standing over everyone with widened eyes and he was terrified. Good. He should be.“You,” I spoke pointing, “are next.”He growled and ran at me. Fast. Strong. But not fast enough.We collided with a sickening thud, and he punched me in the face. I hit back harder as he kicked at me. I grabbed his outstretched leg and threw him into the trunk of a nearby tree. He rose, eyes swollen shut and blood pouring down his broken nose, snarling as he lunged once again.We fought dirty. Bi

    Kieran’s povI stayed in my cabin at the edge of the pack’s land. It was quiet there. Just me, the walls, and the wind outside. I sat on an old wooden chair by the window and looked out at the view. Sirella’s words weighed heavily on my mind as I thought about Donovan and what he had done to her. The anger inside me began to burn like a dangerous fire making my hands tremble and heart pound in my chest. Somewhere deep under all that anger though there had been a numbness within me since it had happened. I could not feel anything and I just wanted to feel something. I wanted to feel alive.I looked outside my cabin and saw the sky has turned gray. A storm was coming. Yet all I wanted to do was go out there and stand under the rain and feel something at least. It walked me.Donovan had lied to her; he’d used her as nothing more than a tool. I felt my anger build, and then directed it at myself. I was stupid yo have let her stay in that place.And then there was a knock on my door. My

    Damien’s povI was on the training yard, where I spent every morning. I stretched out my muscles while keeping my eyes open for anything unexpected that might happen here. The warriors around me were noisy. Jarek, one of the biggest warriors in the pack, had decided to take advantage of the attention everyone was giving him.“I’ll have you know,” Jarek said loudly, puffing up his chest, “there isn’t a man more powerful than me in all the pack.”“Yeah, Jarek’s the best. You all better watch out,” someone said as I rolled my eyes and continued with my stretches.But then Jarek looked right at me, his voice loud and clear.“What about you, Damien? You think you can beat me? Ha! You’re all talk. Weak.”I sighed and looked at him. “Is that a challenge? You wanna prove you’re stronger? I’m ready anytime.”Jarek sneered. “Ha! You? I’ve been in more wars than you. I’ll squash you.”I sighed and got up to look at him. “Then come on in. Let’s see how much of your bite you’ve still got.”Jarek’s
