Carlos POV

I could feel Nora was changing. No, she looked like a changed person, yet I still can't point out exactly how she changed. I began to notice right from the day she pushed me at the border.

I could sense her powerful aura yet it vanished just as it came. Maybe I was mistaken. Same thing happened at the training ground, it turned out to be the lycan's doing.

But then why are strange things happening around Nora since she came back? Is there a secret somewhere?

My eyes traveled to the pendant carefully placed by my bedside. I still remember the day Nora gifted it to me and how excited she was. Why was she demanding for the pendant after giving it to me?

Besides, why was she asking for the piece of pendant and not the whole pendant? I got up from the bed, walking swiftly to my cabinet where I kept the shard of the pendant I saw six months ago.

I remembered vividly what that man told me about the inscriptions on the pendant. It was the exact same words Nora said when she gifted

    Carlos POVSo this was her game all along? As I watched Nora and Karen together, a growing sense of unease crept over me. I couldn't believe the transformation in Nora was not planned. It was more like a premeditated move from the beginning.If not, how could a weak, pathetic human with no wolf or power be involved with the most revered Lycan Kingdom? How could I not have seen through her devious act right from the moment she gave me that pendant?How could a weak pathetic human I rejected as my mate turn into ...this cunning woman? But as I gazed into her eyes, I saw something that made my blood run cold. A glint of deceit mixed with a hint of betrayal. I felt a sudden jolt of realization as it dawned on me that Nora was not what she seemed. “ Traitor!" I spat out again, letting my wolf partly take over.She was a traitor, a human who was determined to bring down my pack right from the beginning. She must have known she was human and struck a deal with the Lycans in exchange for

My annoyance was steaming from the fact that she was still denying it.However, my suspicions were focused on Aria now. What exactly happened after she took my pendant?

    NORA POVI needed fresh air, away from that scum. I still can't believe he was still so dumb to the point that he thinks I was hung up on the fact that he rejected me.It was so laughable yet annoying to see his arrogance displayed with such immense energy. Was he trying to dodge his guilt last night or was he trying to act smart? I bit my lip, holding back the tears and anger that threatened to overflow as I walked away from the hall with Karen. “ It's strange how that arrogant Carlos was even the least worried about his past deeds," Karen pointed out, opening the car door." He still thinks I am doing all of these because he rejected me! How stupid!” I scoffed, resting my head as soon as I entered the car.I was damn tired.That arrogant, self-righteous Carlos! How dare he accuse me of being a traitor? And to think he had the nerve to create a duplicate pendant, as if I would ever stoop to such deception.I couldn't help but find it amusing, really. Carlos was so blinded by his ow

My father's eyes darted to Justin then back to me, his expression a mix of disbelief and concern."Nora- don't scare me, please. Tell me it's just a joke" my mother managed to say, her voice shaking.I felt a lump form in my throat as I saw the fear and uncertainty in their eyes. This was exactly what I was afraid of. This was what I hated to see, their tears and hurt.Maybe I should have come out clean on the first day. I tried to stop the piercing pain in my heart as the tears no longer needed to struggle to get to my cheek. It was already an open stream on my face. "It's true," I barely responded, my voice cracking. " After I woke up, I found myself in the Lycan Kingdom."As I sniffed, I got ready to open up everything to them about my life at the Lycan Kingdom. I took a glance at Karen who was standing as a guard to the entrance. He smiled faintly at

WeThe letter must be talking about what transpired at the ball. I felt heartbroken that he looked at me with such anger in his eyes. It hurts to see that he might have believed what Carlos said, not until I heard his outburst. “ That bastard! How dare he accuse my daughter!" My father thundered, making everyone shudder except Karen. He just used his beta’s voice. That was odd because my father rarely uses it. My heart felt lighter, my face beamed with undeniable joy. It was a relief that his anger wasn't towards me but to those who accused me.The moon goddess surely blessed me with the most wonderful family.

From their growls, I could tell it was more of an orchestrated ploy to get me out of the pack, as a traitor.The air in the house dampened even more as I heard the grunts from my parents and brother. It was as thick as the anger building inside of me.“ I will go and sort this out," Justin said, making his way to the door but I stopped him.“ No, Justin. You don't need to get involved until I sort this out. This is about my innocence, I don't want to drag you all into it."“ Nora-" Justin couldn't finish his words as the growls and stampede was getting louder. It seemed like they were close to our house. “ How could he even think that- what the hell is wrong with Carlos?" Justin's face was filled with rage as he stared at the door.“ He is only acting as an Alpha," I replied, sarcastically.“ Alpha? What about friendship?" He asked, quizzically. It was evident that Carlos had ta

Before Aria could say anything, a crispy slap resonated in the air. It was followed by a successions of slaps to all the guards around her.Aria whimpered, away from Viker Alberto with reddened eyes and clenched fist. I would have laughed if I wasn't the one on the receiving end. She looked like an overripe tomatoes at its sour state.“ You dare imprison my beta and his family without the royal consent? How dare you!" Viker Alberto growled, his eyes turning darker.Aria's pupils dilated as she made backwards move, unable to utter a word. It was as though Viker Alberto's aura suppressed her arrogance.

    NORA'S POVI gasped as I looked at their faces. They appeared human at first glance, but something was off about their skin. It was too pale, their features too perfect. And their eyes... their eyes were just like mine.Each of them had those strange volcanic eyes I had seen in my own reflection. It was amber irises with touches of gold and red that seemed to glow from within, even in human form. I'd always thought my eyes were unique, strange. Now I was surrounded by people who shared this trait."You're like me," I whispered, the realization hitting me like a blow.The tallest of them stepped forward. Unlike the others who wore identical black robes, his was trimmed with silver symbols. His face was ageless. He could have been twenty or one hundred with high cheekbones and a strong jaw."We are the Ancients," he said, his voice the same one that had commanded me to enter. "And you, Nora, are one of us. Or at least, partly."My

    Nora's POVMy heartbeat was faster, my mind wondering what was about to happen next. Even from afar, I could feel her hurt. I could understand her hurting, yet I was the one she intended to kill. The world came back to me in pieces. First sound, then feeling, then sight. I heard her voice, Sorceress Elena, cold with fury. She was going to take revenge, for Elara, her daughter.Who almost killed me. "Starting with these children." Her voice cut through my thoughts.My eyes flew open. Through the haze of pain still in my head, I saw Elena moving toward the building entrance where my kids were trapped in prison. Her hands were filled with dark energy, her face squeezed with grief and rage."No!" I screamed, pushing away from Carlos with strength I didn't know I had. My children. She was going to kill my children.Elena turned, her hair whipping around her face, her eyes glowing with power. "You've taken my daug

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. "

"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

    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

    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."

"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.
