MasukThank you all for reading. And thank you so much for the gems. I love you all.
Damien's POV:The news about Garrick's attack spread fast, but even then, I still arrived too late. I had been in my chambers, with my hands tightly wrapped around my mate's sleeping form, when the frantic knocking of a guard snapped me out of my thoughts. The moment I had realised just why he was being frantic, and what had happened, I had turned back, tucked Nyssa in and kissed her on the forehead, before turning around and rushing out of the chambers. But even then, even with all the haste I could muster, I was still late. The very first thing that struck me the moment I stepped through the now open doors of the Pack's clinic, was just how crowded it now was. .There were wolves huddling along the walls, some of them were speaking in hushed voices while the pharmacist's assistants moved quickly between them. The sharp scent of herbs and dried blood filled the air. But none of that caught me off guard, what did was the frantic and pain filled voice I was hearing deep within th
BLADE’S POV: Even though he wasn’t supposed to be, Blade was already furious by the time he reached the outskirts of his father’s home.The day was getting worse with every passing hour. He was still pissed off by the fact that the traitor had managed to kill off another elder and even managed to dispose of the body without once being seen.Absolutely none of it made sense. From the very moment he had been informed that Rowan was killed, Blade had spent the entire day trying to pierce everything together.His mind kept on going back to the last conversation Rowan had with the pack. The more he thought about it, the more nothing made sense.There was something rotten within his pack, and he could feel it.Another thing he could feel was that his father knew more than he let on. That was why Blade had finally decided that he was going to confront his father.Of course, he didn’t believe that his father was the traitor, but he was at least willing to consider the possibility that his fat
Garrick’s POV:Even though he had a huge smile on his face, the truth was that Garrick was furious.His fists remained tightly clenched even long after he had left Damien’s presence, his rage made him dig his fingers right into his palms any time he recalled the conversation he had just had with Damien.He might have acted scared, but the truth was that Garrick now knew for a fact that Damien had been watching him. And while his gaze hadn’t yet turned suspicious, it had been a gaze nonetheless.And Garrick knew what that meant. Damien was beginning to suspect him.It was pretty clear from the questions Damien had kept on asking him, or the way Damien had studied his face, or even the way Damien’s eyes had dropped towards his coat for a couple of long seconds.Garrick let out a sigh of relief the moment he recalled that moment. Normally, he would have walked there with the coat he had used to kill Rowan, but something had made him check the edges, and the moment he had spotted that a pa
Damien’s POV:The moment I spotted Garrick, I froze.And so did he.Blade’s father was standing just a couple of yards away from us. He was half hidden among the few people that were still loitering around the scene.Nyssa immediately noticed the shift in my attention, she turned to face me, noticed that I was looking to the side, and followed my gaze. The moment she also spotted him, her eyes narrowed.“Why is he here?” she whispered under her breath,I shook my head, I had no answer to that question.Even though I did not want to openly admit it, I was actually beginning to get suspicious of Garrick. And somehow, deep down within me, I had not expected him to show up here.The moment he realized that he had been spotted, Garrick nodded at both of us. Usually, I would have nodded back and turned my attention over to the scene, but this time, I did something that shocked even me. I began to walk towards him.Garrick’s eyes widened, and his mouth tightened a little the moment I began to
Damien's POV:I spent the next few seconds staring straight at the torn piece of black cloth in Rowan's hand. My mind was racing so hard and so fast that I could not move.The torn piece of fabric is definitely from the cloak of an elder, that I had no doubt about. It had been clear from the bruises on Rowan’s hands that he had fought back against his attacker.And when he had realized he was going to get killed, he tried to tell us something.The torn piece of fabric wasn’t much, but it was also the only hard piece of evidence we had about the traitor.My jaw tightened, and I turned around to face my beta. "Blade." I called out.The moment he heard my voice, he turned to face me, "Yes, Alpha.""Find Sicily." I ordered, “And send her to the dungeon.”I was done playing this game.Last night, after the talk with Rowan. I had debated immediately arresting both Sicily and Cassian. I had thought I would be able to trail them until I could find the traitor myself.But right now, we were on
Damien's POV:Over the past few weeks, breakfast had slowly but surely become one of my favorite parts of the day. And it wasn’t because of the food, but because of her.Right now, she was sitting right across from me, one hand holding her fork, while the other was wrapped tightly around mine.Neither of us had spoken much during the meal, we were both content enough to just be in each others’ presence. There was something just peaceful about the atmosphere whenever we waited.Finally, after taking a sip of wine from the glass cup close to her, Nyssa smiled and lifted her gaze to meet mine,“So,” she started to speak with a tone filled with pure intrigue, "Do you think it'll be a boy?"I raised an eyebrow. "You've already decided you want a boy?""I didn't decide anything." She said with a chuckle,"Well,” I smiled and squeezed her hand, “You just asked me whether it'll be a boy.”She laughed. "Yeah. Because I am starting to wonder about what I would need to start preparing.” She tilte
The moment I stepped into my apartment, I let out a sharp exhale. I turned around and closed the door shut behind me. The faint hum of the city faded, but I would have loved for it to still be there.It was a welcome change from the suffocating demands and pressure of the Silver Ridge pack.My pers
The moment those words left my lips, a heavy suffocating silence descended on my room.My mom stared at me with a bewildered expression, as though she had never seen me before.“W—What did you say?” her voice was low and filled with a note of danger.I didn’t look away like she expected, instead I
By the time I pulled into the parking lot of my apartment, it was pretty clear that the sun was getting ready to set. I killed the engine of my car and sat there for a long moment, my fingers resting on the steering wheel as I took deep long breaths.Then, I exhaled and stepped out of my car.The m
“Stop struggling Nyssa.”Alpha Adrian’s voice was far too calm for a man who was watching his mate die right in front of him.My knees buckled, and I fell on the cold marble floor as the very last of my strength left my body. The taste of copper filled my mouth. It was thick, fluid and mixed with
