Griffin POV

My body went rigid. What I saw couldn't be real.

Nora, vulnerable Nora grabbed the rogue wolf by the scruff with bare hands and flung him away like a rag or paper. The beast yelped, crashing into a tree trunk with a sickening crack.

The remaining rogues circled her, fangs raised, claw sharp, but hesitation now clear in their movements.

Nora stood, blood dripping from her torn sleeve, but she didn't seem to notice. Her lips pulled back in a snarl that looked wrong on her human face. Then she lunged at the closest wolf.

Her movements weren't human. She twisted with impossible speed, ducking under snapping jaws and driving her fist into the rogue's ribs. Bones crunched. The wolf howled.

I wondered what was going on. My eyes and mouth remained wise open in amazement.

She grabbed another by the throat, fingers digging into fur until blood seeped between them. The wolf thrashed, claws raking her arms, but Nora didn't flinch. She squeezed until something gave way with a w

  • Nora: Rejected Lost Princess    Fearless. Lethal. Beautiful

    CARLOS POVI decided to see Elder Silvarum and King George concerning Nora's condition. "The dreams are becoming more vivid," I explained, watching Elder Silvarum's ancient face remain impassive. "She's seeing things, calling Karen in her sleep." I talked about Nora's dreams for a while, trying not to forget any important part of her dreams. I told them about how strange she had been acting recently. King George leaned forward, his massive frame dwarfing the ornate chair beneath him. "Could it be a coincidence?"Elder Silvarum shook his head. "There are no coincidences with matters of prophecy." His eyes were fixed on me. "Continue watching her, Carlos. Document everything. Keep an eye on her, and make sure to relate every new development with me."I nodded, though questions still burned within me. Before I could voice them, something shifted in the air around me. A cold sensation gripped my chest, squeezing until breathing became difficult. Fear—raw and instinctual—flooded my se

  • Nora: Rejected Lost Princess    Jealous

    Carlos POVI lay awake, staring at the ceiling of our bedroom as Nora slept beside me. Her breathing had finally steadied, but the memory of what had happened earlier still haunted me."Karen... Karen, please..." she had murmured, her voice desperately pleading.I had been drifting off when her voice cut through the darkness. At first, I thought she was talking to me, but as my mind cleared, I realized she was still asleep. Her face was tense, brows furrowed as if in pain or concentration.That name again. Karen.It wasn't the first time I'd heard it on her lips during sleep. For weeks now, this Karen had been appearing in Nora's dreams. Each time, I said nothing, hoping it was going to stop. I stood there, watching Nora sleep, her chest rising and falling with each gentle breath. But my mind was elsewhere, replayed on the words she had whispered in her sleep severally."Karen..." The name had slipped out so softly, yet it had struck me like a thunderclap. I hadn't reacted then, didn

  • Nora: Rejected Lost Princess    Secret Meeting

    After years of watching the sorcerer from afar, learning her patterns, her associates, styles, and almost everything about her. That night something was different. The energy around the pack felt a little disturbed.Some unknown figures approached the sorcerer on that very night. Not the usual messengers or apprentices. These moved with unnatural grace. Power radiated from them in waves I could feel even from my hidden position. I knew I was not allowed to spy on the sorcerer, but I had been doing much of that lately. One of them knocked on the door, and turned around to peep before he faced the door once again. They seemed to be guarding their movements, and didn't want to be seen by anyone. Others were also looking around, trying to observe the environment. I knew how to hide my scent well enough, so I was safe in my hiding spot. The door opened, and the sorcerer's face was revealed. "You're early," she said. She still l

  • Nora: Rejected Lost Princess    The Spy

    It's been days, searching for the spy who was working with the sorcerer. It seemed like my search was over since the spy was staring at me in the face right now. "She still doesn't suspect anything," the spy said, voice clear in the still night air.I hid still as I listened to the conversation between the snitch and the sorcerer. "Good," the sorcerer replied. "And Carlos?""Completely distracted by her dreams. He thinks she's hiding something romantic. Men are so predictable." Her laugh was bitter. "When do I get what you promised?""When we have the girl. The dealer isn't interested in half-measures. You said it was romantic?"The spy nodded," Yes, Sorceress. She always mentioned a name in her dreams. I think Karen-”I felt a jolt listening to the spy mentioning my name. Does this mean Nora still remembers me? An overwhelming emotion swirled all over me, yet it disappeared as quickly as it came. Who was I kidding? No

  • Nora: Rejected Lost Princess    Lies...

    NORA POVI felt Carlos watching me as I moved around our kitchen. His eyes followed every gesture, studying me like I was suddenly a stranger. The silence between us had grown heavy, and uncomfortable.Maybe I was a stranger to him right now. Maybe that was how he saw me, but what could I say? "You called out to Karen again last night," he finally said.I froze, my hands gripping the edge of the counter. I knew we would come back to this conversation, but I was not even ready for it yet. “Did I?""Don't do that, Nora." His voice was lowered, but cold. "Don't pretend you don't know what I'm talking about."I turned to face him, trying to keep my expression neutral. "It's just dreams, Carlos. I've told you that.""Dreams you refuse to share with me. Dreams that make you cry out someone else's name." He pushed away from the table. "Look me in the eyes and tell me there's nothing more to it."I met his ga

  • Nora: Rejected Lost Princess    Strange Incidence

    NORA'S POV I was still trying to process everything Griffin had told me. My entire world had shifted in a matter of hours. I picked up my phone to research about lycans. I sat on my desk as I began to scroll through my phone. Different types of lycans and what they were capable of. "A bloodline of powerful lycans," I muttered. The words on the screen blurred together as I searched through obscure mythology sites and forums dedicated to supernatural lore. Most of it seemed like fantasy, but after what Griffin had revealed, I couldn't dismiss any of it outright.I pushed away from my desk and walked to the storage closet where I'd stashed my mother's belongings after she died. I hadn't been able to part with them, but couldn't bear looking at them every day either. Now they might hold answers I desperately needed.I pulled out several cardboard boxes and began methodically going through them. Old clothes, books, kitchen items— nothing unusual. Then I reached the last box, tucked i

  • Nora: Rejected Lost Princess    The Discussion

    NORA'S POV I paced nervously around my living room, waiting for Griffin to arrive. My heart raced. No matter hoe hard I tried to focus on something else, my mind kept going back to the thoughts I was running away from. The doorbell rang, bringing me back to reality. I sighed as I headed towards the door and opened it. Griffin was standing out there, noth hands in his pocket. "May I come in?" he asked, his voice low.I stepped aside. "Sure." "We can talk in the kitchen."Griffin followed behind as I led him into the kitchen. He grabbed a stool and sat on it. "Where's Carlos?" He asked as he looked around the kitchen. "Out," I replied simply. "Do you think this place is quiet enough?" "You think someone could be listening?" I asked, suddenly chilled."I think we can't be too careful." Griffin leaned forward. "Have you found anything else since we last spoke?""Just more

  • Nora: Rejected Lost Princess    Sealed

    NORA'S POV "I can't just leave," I told Griffin, my voice steadier than I felt. "Carlos is my not just my mate. We are married with kids, Griffin. With kids." Griffin moved closer to me. He did it like a reflex, and each time he got close enough, he pause before getting too close for comfort. "Nora, think about it. If Carlos truly cared for you as a mate should, why keep so much from you? Why let you stumble blindly through life, never knowing who or what you truly are?"I knew that Carlos would not just lie to me. He must have his reasons for doing so. I could not just leave him because of that. I hoped to be able to convince Griffin, even though his offer was tempting. "Maybe he was afraid," I countered, though doubt was beginning to creep in. "Afraid of losing me if I knew the truth. Afraid of something else. Perhaps, just trying to protect me." Griffin shook his head. "It goes deeper than that. Carlos has been actively w

  • Nora: Rejected Lost Princess    Sorceress Anger

    THIRD POVNora walked away from them, her mind spinning with the sorceress's demand. Give herself up to save her children? The choice seemed both impossible and inevitable. She wandered through the trees, needing space to breathe, and to think.She found a fallen log a short distance from the cave entrance and sank down onto it. The forest around her was very quiet, as if even the birds and insects sensed the dark magic nearby. Her hands trembled as she pressed them against her face, trying to hold back tears."They're discussing whether your life is worth saving the twins," a soft voice said from behind her.Nora looked up to find Elara standing there, her face partially shadowed by the trees."Elara," Nora said, quickly wiping her eyes. "I didn't hear you approach.""I move quietly," Elara replied with a slight smile. "It's a useful skill for a lady's maid."Nora nodded absently, her thoughts still with her children. "

    THIRD POVElder Silvarum continued to talk about the sorceress and her relationship with Carlos and the twins, after everyone had slowly recovered from the shock. "The sorceress has powerful magic, but I believe we can track her.""How?" Griffin pushed off from the wall, suddenly interested."With blood," the elder replied simply. He turned to Carlos. "Alpha, although I don't possess sorcerer abilities myself, my bloodline carries ancient knowledge. And your blood will be the compass.""Whatever it takes to get my children back." "I can perform the tracking spell. I've done similar workings before," Katherine offered. "It's dangerous," Elder Silvarum warned. "The sorceress will have safeguards.""I don't care," Katherine replied dismissively. "Those are my niece's cubs."Carlos rolled up his sleeve and extended his arm. "Take what you need."Katherine glanced at Elder Silvarum, who nodded an

    THIRD POV Two hours later, they gathered in the twins' bedroom. Nora had laid out their favorite possessions: Zack's toy sword, Zoe's stuffed wolf, their hair brushes still containing strands of dark hair. Her hands trembled as she arranged the items in the circle Kathryn had drawn on the floor."This should be enough," Kathryn said, kneeling beside the circle. She looked exhausted, dark circles prominent beneath her eyes. "But I need to warn you all. My powers have limits. Especially against someone like the sorceress.""Just try," Nora whispered.Griffin stood back near the doorway, watching the proceedings with a heavy heart. He knew better than anyone what the sorceress was capable of. The years he'd spent in her thrall had shown him the depths of her cruelty, and her power.Kathryn began to chant, her hands moving in intricate patterns above the circle. The air in the room grew heavy with magic, pressing against their skin like

  • Nora: Rejected Lost Princess    Kidnapped

    THIRD PovNora fought, earnestly, not knowing which powers controlled her. Was this her hidden heritage or something new? As the fight became even more fierce, she struggled to keep watch over the kids.Not until, she smelled them and the danger around. Nora looked up sharply, her gaze fixed on two Ancients emerging, dragging small, struggling forms between them. Her blood ran cold as she recognized Zack and Zoe, their faces pale with terror as they fought against their captors' grip."Mom! Dad!" Zack shouted, his voice filled with fear."Let them go!" Nora screamed, light flaring around so fiercely that several nearby wolves whimpered and backed away. How dare these people touch her babies!As her anger filled the air, Nora heard the evil laughter of the sorceress. "Now, that's interesting. You've grown stronger than I anticipated. Perhaps those meddling fools didn't suppress your power as thoroughly as they thought."

    Griffin Her questions were becoming annoying. I wished I could just ignore it. That perhaps you hope to earn her gratitude. Her affection." Kathryn's voice was gentle but firm. "If so, you should know it's unlikely. She loves Carlos, whatever problems they may have." "I'm not a fool," I snapped, then immediately regretted my tone. "I know she loves him. I'm not doing this to win her over." "Then why?" I stared at the floor, struggling to articulate what drove me. "Because I failed her once before. I won't make that mistake again." Kathryn seemed satisfied with this answer. "Very well. I'll need time to prepare properly." I rose to leave, but paused at the door. "Kathryn... thank you." She shook her head. "Don't thank me yet. This may kill you more quickly than the sorceress's curse. Plus, I'm not assuring you that it is going to work." "At least it will be my choice," I said quietly. "For once." As I left the room, I felt the hunger gnawing at me again, stronger

  • Nora: Rejected Lost Princess    Are You Doing It For Her?

    GRIFFIN POVI felt it the moment it happened—a pulse of energy so distinct it nearly knocked me off my feet. I steadied myself against a tree, drawing in a sharp breath as recognition dawned.Nora had connected with her wolf.After all these years, after everything that had happened. She had found Reika again. Although it was a good thing, the implications were staggering—and terrifying. Those hungry powerful beings probably felt it too and their quest for Nora's blood would intensify. "Damn it," I muttered, pushing away from the tree and striding toward the pack house. Elder Silvarum needed to know immediately. Carlos too, though I doubted he'd take the news well.I'd barely made it halfway across the grounds when the first wave of pain hit. It started as a burning in my chest, then spread outward like wildfire through my veins. I stumbled, falling to my knees as my vision blurred."Griffin."The voice echoed in my mind, sickeningly familiar. The sorceress. My mistress. My curse."

  • Nora: Rejected Lost Princess    No Wolf

    NORA POVThe next one week flew by very peacefully. More peaceful than I ever expected. "Focus, Nora," Kathryn instructed, circling me as I struggled to maintain the small flame hovering above my palm. "You're letting your wolf nature interfere again."I gritted my teeth. "I don't have a wolf nature. That's the problem."Kathryn exchanged a glance with Elara, that same look they always shared when they thought I wasn't paying attention. It was infuriating."Your lycan blood is still part of you," she said carefully. "Even if you do not have a wolf. She looked down, busying herself with arranging crystals on the floor around me. I'd touched a nerve, I was sure of it."Whatever the case," Kathryn continued smoothly, "you need to separate your magical energy from your lycan energy. They conflict with each other."I'd been trying for days without success. The moment I called forth fire or water, I felt a resistance within me, as if something was fighting against the magic. My head would

    NORA POVI woke with a gasp, my body jerking upright so violently that my kids nearly fell off the edge of the bed where they had been sitting.Silence stretched in the room for a long while. My kids hugged me, excited to finally have me back. After a while, Carlos came to sit beside me. "Nora!" His hands were on me instantly, checking for wounds that were no longer there. "Thank the Moon Goddess. You're awake."My head spun as memories flooded back —the attack in the forest, the children screaming, claws tearing into my flesh. I should be dead. By all rights, I should be dead.Carlos handed me a glass of cold water. "You need this." As I gulped the cool liquid, my eyes caught sight of something across the room a small form lying motionless on the floor, surrounded by my aunt. Blood pooled beneath her.The mute girl. "What happened?" I demanded, pushing the glass away. "Why is she bleeding?"Carlos followed my gaze, his expression grim. "She saved you. Took your wounds somehow."I

  • Nora: Rejected Lost Princess    Rescued

    CARLOS POVMy heart stopped as I burst into the clearing. The scene before me was worse than anything I'd imagined.Nora lay in a growing pool of blood, surrounded by seven hooded figures. Their forms seemed to waver between solid and smoke, power radiating off them in waves that made my wolf recoil. Ancient beings. Powerful. Deadly."Get away from her!" I roared, my voice breaking with desperation.One of them turned slowly, revealing a face that wasn't quite human— eagyes too large, skin too pale. When it smiled, its teeth were needle-sharp."The mate arrives," it said, voice like breaking glass. "Just in time to watch her die."Rage exploded through me. I didn't care if they could kill me with a thought. I wouldn't let Nora die while I stood by. I charged forward, shifting mid-stride, claws extending as I leapt toward the nearest figure.I was still trying to think about my next move. I was confused about everything, and what step to take forward. But I was certain about one thing.
