***EMMELINE'S POV***My baby boy was just yanked away from me before I even had the chance to look at his face.He had such a cruel fate. Barely born, and already marked for death.Hot tears streamed down my face.“Emmeline, please pull yourself together,” Juliet begged as she dragged me to the bathtub. She helped wash the blood off my body, but I was too shaken and exhausted to even move.“My baby…” I sobbed, clutching my stomach. Grace hadn't even let me hold him.Oh, the heavens were so cruel to me.Juliet rubbed my back tenderly, trying to console me. “I promise we’ll get him back.”It was impossible. Devlin had him already.“Our lives are over!” I pushed her hands away.Grace stormed into the bathroom. “Enough of the drama. Get your asses up!”Juliet stepped in front of me protectively. “One more step and I’ll rip you apart. Don’t test me.”Grace chuckled darkly. “Try me, Juliet. I’ll make sure your body is scattered across Elton for the vultures.”I scoffed bitterly and pushed m
CEDRIC POV Emmeline’s body collapsed to the floor as Devlin lifted his mouth, smeared with my mate’s blood. He had the nerve to grin at me.I lunged forward, but Grace met me halfway with a bone-crushing kick to the side of my head.Bloody hell!How did she become so strong?“Stay down, Cedric!” she hissed, spitting my name like it disgusted her. Her voice, once warm and comforting, was now cold and venomous. There was no trace of the woman I once trusted.Never in a million years would I have believed Grace would betray us.She helped protect the baby.So why?“Ahhhhhh!” Emmeline screamed, clutching her stomach in agony.“You bastard!” I yelled, trying to crawl to her. “What did you do to my mate?!”Grace drove her foot into my head, pinning me down.The air reeked of wolfsbane—thick, choking, weakening every breath I took.“Shhh.” Devlin lifted a finger to his lips, mocking. “The long-awaited child is arriving.”Did I just hear him right?The baby still had two weeks left. Unless…
*****CEDRIC*** “Ready?” I asked Juliet, who nodded fiercely. Today was the deadline Kareena had given us.We didn’t have a plan or any strategy on how to attack the witches. But one thing was clear: I must save my mate.“Let’s go!” I shouted to the warriors. Some were stationed all around the pack house.Most werewolves sought sanctuary in my pack. Not that I minded.I climbed onto my horse as Juliet led the way. Marci and Grace rode by my side as we followed her.“The moment we arrive at Archane, find Emmeline and get her to safety,” I instructed Grace, who nodded. “Yes, my lord.”The journey was a lot longer than we expected. Before we could even calculate the time, night had already fallen.Luckily, the moon wasn’t out yet.We could still save them.“How much further?” Ava asked Juliet, panting heavily.Juliet scoffed but didn’t reply. She led us into a dark forest, and before I could question her,I saw the castle.Archane.It was covered in spells, and I could feel the demons lu
EMMELINE'S POV I felt water droplets hit my face. I stirred awake but was unable to move.My body was strapped to the bed in a room I couldn't recognize. My head ached so badly that I could barely keep my eyes open. My limbs felt heavy, and every inch of me throbbed in pain.Kareena.Where was she?“It looks like you're awake, sister-in-law,” I heard a snarl, and I turned to the side.Anastasia was sitting there with a smug look—but she looked like a ghost of herself.Her red eyes looked even more soulless than the last time I had seen her. She looked ghostly pale, her skin clinging to bone like she hadn't slept or eaten in weeks.“Why are you doing this?” I asked, genuinely concerned.Cedric was her blood.Anastasia stood from the chair beside me with a shrug. “I want to be Alpha.”I chuckled at her words. She’s so stupid…dumb. Did she really think Kareena would let any wolf live long enough for her to even rule as Alpha?“Maybe you can be Alpha in your dreams!” I spat mockingly,
******CEDRIC POV*****We all sat around the large, circular table. The tension in the room was thick enough to choke on. Everyone looked uneasy, eyes darting, shoulders stiff. It was clear Juliet had already informed them there was a mole among us.A betrayal.“What do we do now?” Grace asked quietly, fidgeting with her fingers. “We can’t find the mole, and the witches could attack us any moment.”“I say we strike first!” Marci snapped, slamming his fist on the table. A few warriors murmured their agreement, nodding.But Juliet shook her head. “A werewolf walking into Arachne is suicide,” she said flatly.Silence filled the room.Around the table sat Lord Venus, Grace, Marci, Ava, Juliet, and several of our strongest Deltas, Alphas, and warriors.I still didn’t trust Lord Venus fully—but maybe Marci was right. We needed every hand we could get.“So what?” Marxian, one of the more impulsive warriors, stood to his feet. “We’re supposed to just sit here and wait for death?” His voice w
*******EMMELINE'S POV*****I lay quietly on my bed as Kareena entered with a cup of tea. I didn’t feel like eating—my appetite had disappeared hours ago.“Luna, please… just have some tea,” she murmured, placing it gently on the bedstand before helping me sit upright.I had taken a long bath earlier, scrubbing every inch of Belle's blood off my skin.The windows were dark now, I guess it's nightfall already—and I had no idea what was happening outside this room.“Where’s the Alpha?” I asked softly.Kareena shook her head. “I don’t know, Luna.”I sighed, rubbing my belly gently. “I just hope the witches haven’t attacked. Or Devlin either.”Kareena chuckled faintly and handed me the tea. “If it were the witches, I’m sure we’d hear screams of terror by now.”I gave a small smile and nodded, sipping the warm liquid. Moringa tea—good for the baby, Juliet had insisted.As I sipped, Kareena placed a hand dramatically on her chest. “I’m hurt, Luna. Deeply hurt. You played with my feelings.”I
