MORRIGAN'S POV
“I am not going to reject you.” He growled, sending a shiver down my spine. “Why? Why not?” I questioned desperately. I needed to get out of here and away from this man. “Because you're mine.” I opened and shut my mouth trying to think of ways to make him reject me or at least let me out. “If you do not let me go, I will kill every single person in your pack.” I threatened, praying and hoping I looked and sounded threatening enough. Before I could process what happened I was on my back. Zephyr straddled me, locking both my hands on my sides. “What are you trying to do! Get off me.” I struggled under him trying to get hit off of me. I panicked and my heart began thumping loudly. Was he going to rape me? I had been in a situation like this one too many times when I was still younger, when I wasn't strong yet but I had always gotten away. “You will do nothing of that sort. If you try it I will wrap you up in fucking wolfsbane and keep you locked up in here like a fucking doll.” He growled. I let out a loud howl, hoping to get him off of me. The windows vibrated violently,and he let out a sharp hiss but his grip didn't loosen. “What was that?” He questioned. My eyes widened in disbelief, It didn't work on him. The disbelief turned into cold hard fear. I hadn't felt this scared in a long time. If my soul howl did not work on him then how was I going to defend myself against him. This room did not have any stones or minerals I could use against him. The worst part was my body wanted him to get even closer to me, as if he was not already too close. My body and mind were working against each other. “Let me go.” I screamed desperately kicking, hoping to get him away from me. If he decided to force himself on me I could not do anything against him, he was stronger than me by a long shot and he was also bigger than me. “Calm down, I am not trying to force myself on you. The only time I will touch you is when you want it.” He said, as if reading my mind. He got off me and stepped away from the bed. I sat up and moved to a corner far away from him. I watched him watching me. My breathing was fast and unstable. I did not trust this man, how could I when he had locked me up for days. “What was that howl you let out? Another power? How many of these abilities do you have?” He asked sternly. I glared at him. “It is not your business.” I snapped back. “Look sweetheart, no matter what you say you are not going anywhere. You belong to me now and until you accept that you are not leaving this room.” He said before walking out. I was left sitting on the bed, stunned by his words. This guy was crazy, wasn't he. I laid on my back and squeezed my eyes shut. How was I ever gonna get out of this place? Should I just use my soul howl on Kierra? What if she's too weak and I end up shattering her mind. I groaned in frustration and rolled over onto my stomach. If I did that and her mind shattered they would never let me live because she was their Beta's mate.Although we were not close she was still nice to me, or maybe she was pretending? But why would she. I only had three powers, Geokinesis, Blood memory and soul howl. With my geokinesis I could control rocks, minerals and terrains, I could access memories and information in one's blood and with soul howl I could stir emotions, sometimes I mistakenly summoned lost spirits and if someone was weak it could shatter their minds. I could use my power to cause an earthquake, but this place might crumble and bury me underneath it. So that was not an option, I wanted to escape in one piece with all my limbs still intact. The longer I stayed here the higher the risk of the curse activating. I could not afford to stay in this pack. I was frustrated and helpless. I had never felt this way before, I always managed to get out of any situation no matter what but this was different. This was much more serious and dangerous than any situation I had ever been in before, my life was on the line and so was my sanity. If only I hadn't met those pack wolves who made me lose my food, I would have not been so hungry and chased after a rabbit into that stupid trap. I would have been happily roaming around not caged in a room. I curled into a ball on the bed as tears rolled down my cheeks. I began violently sobbing. My freedom was gone and my happiness too. I was caged in a room by a person I never wanted to find. Was I gonna be trapped here and suffer the same fate as my parents?CELESTE'S POV: I angrily paced up and down. How could Zephyr do this to me? I had been there for him through thick and thin. How could he choose a disgusting rogue over me? “Why, why, why!” I yelled,angrily running my hands through my hair. How was it possible? Did she cast a spell on him? I mean there is absolutely no way Zephyr would fall for a rogue. Yes! That was probably it, I have to help him get rid of that dirty rogue. Only I can be the Luna of this pack and Zephyr's woman, only me and there is no way I was going to allow a dirty packless wolf take that away from me. I slowly began to calm down. I faced my mirror, a small smile graced my face as I began combing through my hair with my fingers. All I needed to do was get everyone in the pack to help me remove the spell that she put on him. If everyone is against it there is no way he would still be under her spell. “You've got this Celeste, everyone will side with you.” I fixed my hair and dress before going out. “Ro
ZEPHYR'S POV“Alpha that woman is a danger to all of us!” Celeste yelled. The other members nodded their heads in agreement.“She really is! Why are you keeping her here?” Someone yelled from the crowd.“Who knows what else she will do to us?” “This is the Alpha's business.” Ronan said, trying to calm them down. “The Alpha's business? This includes the whole pack. Everyone was affected by the howl that rogue let out.” Celeste argued. “We cannot keep her here, she needs to be killed before she kills all of us.”“Celeste!” Ronan growled. “What? Did I say anything wrong? Some of our pack members are in a coma because of that howl. We do not know if they will wake up or not! Alpha this is about the safety of your pack members!” She clapped back.Multiple voices erupted in agreement with her. I watched them in silence. Morrigan's howl had affected everyone in the pack except me. Was it because I was her mate? She was much more powerful than I thought, could I keep her here? I didn't
MORRIGAN'S POV: “For goodness sake stop following me,” I groaned. “I am not going anywhere.” She nodded her head but still continued to follow me. I let out a frustrated sigh and continued walking trying my best to ignore her. It had been two months and four days since I got here. I did not think I was going to be stuck here for so long. I wanted to escape, I desperately wanted to but I was afraid. Zephyr gave me a warning and I took it seriously, I didn't want to push him. What if I tried and I failed to escape? He really scared me a lot, but this mate bond was tugging at my feelings and emotions. He came to see me once in a while and sometimes he would sit across from me in silence, sometimes he tried talking to me but I just ignored him or ended up blowing up about him not letting me go. There were times I considered just accepting the bond but each time I did I remembered my parents. I didn't want to end up like my mother and father, my fear of the curse was bigger th

MORRIGAN'S POV “What's wrong?” Zephyr asked, looking me up and down. “Nothing.” I replied, running a hand through my hair. He got off the chair and walked over to where I was standing. My heart began pounding, the closer he got the faster it pounded. He stopped in front of me. “So you won't tell me?” I could smell his breath as it hit my face. I could feel goosebumps forming on my skin. Heat spread all over my body and I just wanted to pull him closer, but I knew better. I moved back, putting some distance between. “How can I tell you something, when there is nothing to tell?” He quirked a brow. “The fact that you're replying to me s…” “Just stop.” I cut him off. I didn't want to keep being in the same room as him, I didn't want to do something I would end up regretting. “Why do you do this to yourself? To us.” He asked, frustration evident In his voice. “Zephyr, I told you from the beginning how I felt. I don't want to be here but you keep me here against my will.”
CELESTE'S POV “Why don't you just let this go Celeste?” Mrs Montclair asked, earning a glare from me. How could she ask something so stupid. There was absolutely no way I was going to let it go. I spent days in the dungeon all because of that stupid rogue. “Do you want that thing to be your Luna instead?” I snarled. She shook her head and sighed. “I don't, no one in the pack wants that. But the Alpha is hell bent on keeping her here and we have to obey him.” “The Alpha is under her spell, he can't make important decisions like this on his own. We have to help him,” I whispered, taking her hand into mine. “Imagine what it will be like when everyone thanks and praises you for saving their alpha and pack from disaster.” She looked at me unsure, I offered her a smile and lightly nodded. “I am afraid of her. Yesterday she had a fight with the Alpha.” She bit her lip. “That disrespectful, mannerless piece of trash,” I cussed. I didn't understand why Zephyr was taking all this dis
MORRIGAN'S POV “Morrigan.” A distant voice whispered. “Morrigan.” The person said a bit louder. I turned my head left and right looking for the owner of the voice. I couldn't see where I was, the place was covered by a thick layer of fog. How did I get here? “Who are you?” I called into the fog. “You are so close child. Come to me.” The person said. I frowned, who the hell was this. Come to me, who? I put my hand in front of me and stumbled forward. It was as if my wolf senses were gone. “Look lady, I don't know who you are,but…” my sentence got cut off as I lost my footing and tumbled down into an ice cold body of water. I let out a pained scream. The water was so cold it felt like there were razors cutting into my body. “Wake up.” An all too familiar voice said, panic laced in his voice. My eyes shot open. The pain disappeared but the cold stayed. My whole body felt wet and weak. Zephyr was looking down at me with a cold look on his face but his eyes were saying some
ZEPHYR'S POV I slammed the book shut, my fingers pressed so hard into the cover that my knuckles turned white. “Why is there nothing?” I mumbled rubbing my temple. There had to be some information on this, anything would do. Anything that would help me understand all or any of this. A knock on the door snapped me out of my thoughts. “Come in.” I called out. Ronan walked in pinching the bridge of his nose. He pulled out the chair across from me and sat down. “I couldn't find anything. There is absolutely nothing. Not even a small paragraph.” I let out a sharp sigh and ran my fingers through my hair. “How can there be nothing?” I groaned. Why was there nothing on this? There had to be something. “There has to be some information, Damn it!” I exclaimed. “Zephyr calm down.” Ronan said a look of worry plastered on his face. “Fucking hell Ronan how can I calm down when we have no knowledge on this.” I snapped. “ I get your frustration but spiraling now will not work. We
MORRIGAN'S POV I should have ran faster and further away. I wasted the chance I got and stupidly got caught. It hadn't even been two days and I was already back here. The moment I saw him I thought I was hallucinating but then he began running towards me and I realized how real it was, so I ran away. I ran with all my might but in the end I was caught and dragged back like I was a child. Maybe if I hadn't been exhausted and hungry I could have ran faster. When I left I thought I was never going to see him again, I had forced myself to leave while he was passed out. But it was all in vain now.He stood in front of me his brows drawn in confusion. This was my famiy curse I didn't want to tell anyone else about I but this time I had no choice because it involved him too. Maybe once he found out the risk of having me as a mate he would reject me. It would all work out, right. I wiped my tears away and sat down on the bed. I motioned for him to sit with my eyes. He watched me as if I
I desperately followed her fading scent. My claws tore through the soil and leaves as I ran. My chest burned, lungs screaming. I wasn't fully healed yet but she was gone. How could she leave? Why? Was she planning to leave this whole time? Of course she was, after all I was the one who forced her to stay. I ran faster, harder, desperation clawing at my chest. I had to find her, I knew she was somewhere out there. I couldn't let her go, never. A desperate howl tore through my throat, stupidly hoping that she would answer my desperate call for her. But the silence that followed tormented me, I frantically turned my head looking again and again. Morrigan, where are you? Goddess please let me find her. I jumped over a large rock, her scent was stronger than before. I stopped in my tracks as my eyes locked on her. Her molten gold fur glistened under the sun. Relief surged through me. I took a step forward, a soft groan escaped from my throat. Finally I found her. But before
CELESTE'S POV I ran my hand over his beautiful face, a smile gracing my lips. Zephyr Dusk, this beautiful man. How could I let another have you? You were made for me and only me. I did so much just to be with you, so how could I let someone else have you. I ran a hand through my hair. I hadn't seen him like this in a very long time. Ever since David came into the picture, he never slept next to me again. I just kept hoping that he would, but he never did. After David's death I tried so hard just to get him to look at me again. All I got was his body but not his heart. But I didn't lose hope, because he allowed me close to him so I thought there was still a chance for him to open up and give me his heart once more, but then that bitch showed up. I clenched my jaw so tight that it ached. How could the moon Goddess do this to us. She separated us, we were meant to be together forever. She pulled us apart, why? I was supposed to be his mate and he was supposed to be mine. She
MORRIGAN'S POV “Why did you leave? You were so close to me.” The voice sounded distant this time. “Just leave me alone.” I muttered, my voice flat. A distant scoff rang through the fog and she repeated the question. “Why did you leave?” My shoulders sagged, I let out a weary sigh. I was exhausted even in my dreams. Leaving was harder than I thought, it took a big toll on me. I ran for three whole days without stopping. I didn't know how Zephyr was doing and that made my heart ache every single time I thought about the condition I left him in. The moment I stopped fatigue took over and I shut my eyes, but even in my dreams I couldn't catch a break. “Please just stop.” I begged, covering my eyes. “I cannot leave you alone. Go back to the Vile Fang pack.” She commanded. I ignored her words and sat down on the hard ground. I was never going back, never ever. This was for my and Zephyr's own good. If I didn't stay away, far away, we would both suffer. I missed him
CELESTE'S POV The screams and cries of my people were loud and haunting. What have I done? “Celeste I'm scared.” Yun whispered, staring at me with teary eyes. I hugged her tighter, she was shivering with fear. It struck me like lightning, swift and blinding. Malakai, that asshole had betrayed me. He used me as a way to get into the pack territory so he could attack us. I should have known better than to show him the way in. How could I be so stupid. Now, because of me so many people have died and so many more are still dying. No, no it's not my fault. This is all that bitch Morrigan's fault. If she had never come to this pack I wouldn't have made a stupid decision like that. It was all her fault that the Nightbane pack was attacking us, that the people were suffering and dying, that we were hiding here in fear. I hope she dies out there, a slow, terrible and painful death. She deserves it for all she has done to this pack. She has hurt us all. How could she do this to u
MORRIGAN'S POV I remember when I was young my mom always told me never to use soul howl if I couldn't control it. We never lived in places where there were other wolves so I never understood why. I was never one to stay out of trouble, i would always run around, sometimes going far from where my parents were. My mom always warned me about the dangers of the world, but I never listened. One day on one of my little fun runs I ran into a family of rogue wolves, it was just the same as ours. A father, a mother and their little son, hw was about the same age as me. “Are you lost?” The mother asked me, a soft expression on her face. The little boy hid behind her his bangs almost covering his whole face. I curiously stepped closer, the father growled at me. I jumped back in fear. “Don't scare her like that. It's ok honey, where are your parents?” The woman asked gently, touching his shoulder. He scowled and shrugged off her hand. “No I am not.” I replied, trying to get a closer look
ZEPHYR'S POV “Zephyr.” Morrigan whispered. I turned my head. What was she doing here!? She wasn't supposed to be out here, she was supposed to be in my house where it's safe. She stomped her foot down and a single stone floated up before hitting the ground. She let out violent coughs, her breathing was uneven and heavy. Sweat dripped down her face and she was barefoot. “What do we have here?” Malakai chuckled. He turned his head towards me with a smirk on his face. “The mate?” He slowly walked towards her. My protective instincts surged and I tried to stop him, but his pack members stopped me. I had never felt so useless in my life before. I was getting weaker and weaker. The pain was becoming unbearable. “She sure is pretty. I get why…..” he let out a loud purr. “D…don't you…..d…are touch her.” I groaned. “Shut up.” Malakai growled. I was always the strong one, the great leader, the unshakable and the shield, so how did I get here? My hands were bloody and trembling
MORRIGAN'S POV “Wake up.” She whispered. “What.” I groaned. Today the fog was thicker than usual. “Wake up!” She screamed close to my ear, I felt hands shove my body and I began falling. I shot up, gasping for air. My breath was uneven, my skin slick with sweat, the echo of the scream still rang in my ears. I aggressively rubbed my ears. The buzzing finally stopped. A chorus of loud howls erupted in a distance, wild and urgent. A warning, the howls were followed by a string of screams and cries. I shot out of the bed, tripping on the sheets. I scrambled to get up, my heart beating so fast. I looked out the window and what I saw were men, women and children running gigantic wolves chasing after them. I was frozen in my spot, was this a dream? Was I still dreaming? An elderly woman was dragged down midrun, she let out a loud scream and her cries were silenced under a savage bite. I watched in horror as a young wolf was struck down with vicious jaws. Screams
MORRIGAN'S POV “Nothing happened.” I said smoothly, not a single hitch in my voice. “What was up with the stones then? There is no way you were just doing it for fun.” Kierra argued. “As a matter of fact it was for fun.” The lie left my lips without any hesitation. “Oh come on, Morrigan. You and i both know thats not true.” She threw her hands up in frustration. “Why would I lie?” I asked with a faint smile on my face. “I don't know. I should be asking you that!” She exclaimed. “Kierra. What I said is the truth,” I replied lightly scratching my hair. “Let's change the subject or better yet go home and sleep.” She rolled her eyes. “Goddess, you're so……ugh.” She let out a loud groan. I watched her aggressively pace around the room. The moment she had walked in I knew what she wanted to ask about. Zephyr sent her to ask me about yesterday's incident. I wasn't gonna tell them anything, I didn't want Celeste coming at me harder than she already was. Now I wanted
