Lucy's POV

Eventually, I started to get worn out and tired from the fight. I knew that I couldn't give up, but I also wasn't oblivious to the fact that I needed some source of strength to help myself. The more we kept on fighting, the greater the chances of me eventually slipping up and giving the admiral an opening to finish me off.

My tiredness didn't seem to escape her sharp eyes. As we stood across from each other, she stood up straight and leaned back, staring me straight in the eyes. “I see that you're getting tired. Sooner or later that wolfsbane in your blood will get the better of you, and you will lose. Why delay the inevitable?”

Despite the nausea turning me from inside out I forced myself to remain standing. Speaking would only consume the very energy I was trying to conserve, so I simply glared at her.

Rosa looked even paler before. Some guards had put her into a sitting posture, so now I could see all the blood staining her dress. I knew that they had done it so that I w

    Rosa’s POV The weekend flew by in a blur, and before I knew it, Monday morning had arrived. I couldn't wait to head to school, not because I’m so enthusiastic or want to catch up on my studies, but to sort things out with Jasmine. She’s the only real friend I’ve made and I don’t want Fidelia to be the reason why it’s ruined.I was determined to try and fix our friendship. I hoped we could talk things through and that I could get her to forget Fidelia’s intrusion.As I finished breakfast with my parents in a rush, I exchanged pleasantries with them before heading out to the carriage that would take me to school."Have a good day, sweetie," my mother said, smiling as she handed me a small package. "I packed you a snack for lunch for you today." She said.Well that’s a first, even though it’s completely unnecessary. I suspected that they’re hiding something from me and I’d have to figure it out later."Thanks, Mother," I replied, tucking the package into my bag. "I'll see you this afte

    Rosa’s POV “Fidelia, you are really crossing the line here.” I warned. “Why are you doing all this?” I asked. "Rosa, you abandoned me when I needed you the most, when my mother died. My only friend left me," she said, her voice cracking with emotion.I took a deep breath, trying to calm my racing thoughts. But I knew that wasn't what had happened. "That's not what happened, Fidelia," I replied, trying to keep my tone even.Fidelia's eyes flashed with anger, and she took a step closer to me. "You have no idea what it's like to lose someone you love, and you weren’t even there for me," she spat, her voice venomous.Fidelia and I stopped being friends a year before her mother died. My family paid the necessary condolence visits, and I didn’t think it was necessary for me to check up on Fidelia; we weren’t even friends to begin with.Maybe I made a mistake, but what’s it worth anyway?I stood my ground, refusing to back down. "I may not have lost a parent, but I know what it's like to b

    Rosa’s POV I woke up feeling refreshed and excited for the day ahead. I had invited Jasmine over to my home, and we were going to work on our assignments together while snacking on some treats. I looked forward to bonding with my new friend.As I got ready, I thought about James and how he hadn't seemed to care that I had moved seats. I shrugged it off, deciding to focus on the positive. I was happy to have made a new friend like Jasmine, and I was looking forward to spending time with her.I headed downstairs to wait for Jasmine's arrival, feeling a sense of anticipation. I never really have friends; talk more of inviting them over, so I loved the idea of it, and I was excited to show Jasmine around my home. I busied myself getting out snacks and drinks, making sure everything was perfect for our study session.I was buzzing around the house, getting everything ready for Jasmine's arrival when my mother walked into the kitchen, looking surprised to see me up and about so early on a

    Shaun’s POV “A male heir?” Lucy asked, incredulous, her hands placed firmly on her waist like I had spoken an abomination. I nodded.“What’s that supposed to mean? Shaun I’ve been without a child for fifteen years, and no one said anything to me. What the hell is going on?” She asked; I could feel her anger slowly rising.“I think it’s best we talk inside so someone doesn’t pick up on our conversation.” I suggested.I led Lucy to our room, closing the door behind us. I took a deep breath and began to recount every detail of my conversation with the elders, leaving nothing out. Lucy listened attentively, her expression growing more and more concerned.When I finished speaking, Lucy was silent for a moment, her eyes filled with empathy. Then, she reached out and gently took my hands."I'm so sorry you had to go through this alone," she said, her voice filled with compassion. "I can only imagine how hard it must have been for you to keep all of this to yourself."Her words touched some

    Shaun's povI fell back on the chair, pressing my fingers against my temple like it would ease the turmoil going on in my head. My throat burned up as I locked eyes with Katrina. “I ask again, alpha Shaun…” she blurted. “Are you willing to put the life of your wife on the line once again?” Her voice was firm and I could feel the fear in it. Her eyes made it obvious that she didn't want me to go down that path for the sake of Lucy's life. “Thank you for your time Katrina…” I managed to mutter as I pulled my seat back and got up. “I'm sure you have patients to attend to” I said and left. As I walked out of Katrina's office, a few nurses sped past me with a woman in labor. Her painful cries reminded me of the day Rosa was born. I froze in place for minutes, unaware of the fact that I had zoned out. The pain my darling wife had to endure on that blood moon night just to stay alive for Rosa and for me. For the pack… for herself and that was under normal circumstances and not with a lif

    Shauna's pov. I decided to make a visit I didn’t think I’d be making in my entire life. By the time the sun was fully awake, I had already prepared to leave and just as I trudged down the stairs, someone tugged at my shirt and I was pulled to a halt. “Where exactly are you running off to this early?” Lucy asked as she stood before me and adjusted my collar. I swallowed hard, trying to find the right words to say. “I have something really urgent that needs my immediate attention…” I replied. “It's not something that can wait and you looked so beautiful asleep, I didn't want to wake you up..” I replied and brushed the loose strand of hair on her face, tucking it perfectly behind her ear. “At least have breakfast Shaun, you can't be running off like that without something in your stomach” Lucy insisted and I hesitated a bit, then eventually walked with her to the dining room. The table was set – a feast-like breakfast as usual. Rosa sat in her normal chair and beamed with a smile a
