LOGINTHANK YOU ALL SO MUCH. I LOVE YOU ALL
Nyssa’s POVTHREE YEARS LATERThree years. Three beautiful, wonderful years.Sometimes, I still find it difficult to believe just how much a life can change in such a short amount of time.I stood beneath the shade of a large tree and smiled as I watched my children run across the grass.Three years ago, the pack was on high alert, and there were traitors running around. Now, the entire estate was peaceful.There were no alarms, nor warriors rushing through the gates, nor were there wolves running drills every day.The only thing that filled the pack right now was laughter, and maybe just a tiny bit of schadenfreude when it came to the kids.It didn’t take long before my thoughts shifted away from the past towards the beautiful laughter of the two kids who knew absolutely nothing of the troubles that their parents had once had to endure.“Ah, Ah!” My son’s voice ran across the large plains, “You still can’t catch me!”He was running as fast as his little legs could carry him, his blon
Damien’s POV“Let's finish it.”The sounds of the battlefield continued around us, but everything now seemed distant.The world itself no longer existed. All I saw was Adrian and his blood fueled eyes.I closed my eyes for a moment and focused on my breathing.Adrian's eyes were filled with pure hatred. While mine was filled with determination. Adrian was here because he wanted to kill me, and I could tell by the pain in his eyes that if he did get the chance, he was going to try and make me suffer.My sole goal was to make sure he failed, and then, kill him.That thought had barely crossed my mind before he lunged at me. The attack itself was sudden, but it didn’t matter.I was already on high alert, so even though he was moving extremely fast, I still managed to sidestep his fist.But Adrian was not done. Even though I dodged the first attack, he quickly corrected his stance and drove another punch right to my jaw. He had shifted fully to his human form, and I knew it was because he
Adrian’s POV“ATTACK!”The command had barely left Adrian’s mouth before the entire army surged forward. His other troops at the other points of the camp immediately launched forward too.Howls ripped through the night as wolves charged toward Damien’s territory, their eyes burning with rage and desperation.This time, Adrian was not going to wait in the back like a coward, now, he was going to run at the front. His heart began to hammer hard inside his chest.His entire body felt consumed by rage. Every time he closed his eyes, the only thing he saw was Lyra falling as she jumped to save him from a silver bullet.Every single time he closed his eyes, he could still remember the warmth leaving her body as he held her. And then, his rage shifted from himself to Damien.“Keep moving!” Adrian roared with all his heart,Behind him, his commanders began to echo his order. The army pressed on, and the estate grew closer.Even though he was attacking an obscure side of the estate, Adrian had
Adrian’s POV:Even though he had tried to be as discreet as possible as he moved his pack’s warrior wolves through the town, Adrian knew he had been made.He looked up with a frown as he watched the sun begin to disappear over the horizon.The moon was rising, and right now, that was all that mattered to him.He had sent the rest of his pack out of the city.For once, his arrogance and pride had been damped. He knew there was a chance that he would lose, and he didn’t want his entire pack to be destroyed just because of his actions.After Lyra’s death, and after he had spent the night in bed without her, he had woken up with tears in his eyes, and regrets in his heart. What if I had not acted like this? What if I had not tried to go after Nyssa? What if I had just chosen Lyra initially?He had so many questions, and there was no one to give him the answers he needed.So, he had decided to follow through with his plan.He could have backed up.The thought had crossed his mind. Adrian
Damien’s POVIt took only ten minutes before everyone in the pack knew that Garrick was the actual traitor.It took a couple of minutes later before every wolf came out in droves to begin spewing insults at him.“Burn him alive,”“Bastard!”“He deserves death,”Even inside the meeting hall, both Blade and I could hear their screams.I waited for an extra few minutes until I was certain that Blade could handle his own emotions before I led us both out of the meeting hall and outside towards the main grounds of the estate.It wasn’t that I was apathetic. No, I was filled with emotions too.But I knew what I needed to do, and what Garrick had done only deserved one response; death.Neither of us spoke as we walked out, there was nothing left to say.From the corner of my eye, I spotted Elena crying with a bunch of her friends surrounding her. Some of the wolves were staring at her with a suspicious gaze. I noticed that a couple of people started to stare at Blade with that same suspicious
Damien’s POV:The entire world froze around us.The world was silent save for Blade’s heavy breathing. I couldn’t see his eyes now, but I had no doubt that he was staring at his father with rage within his gaze.Garrick, on the other hand, had turned completely pale. His gaze darted from the torn, bloodied coat on the guards hands, then back to the face of his son.I kept silent, and just stared at him.I didn’t just want his reaction, I also wanted to know his reasoning. Why would he do something like this?Why would Garrick, the most powerful elder in the pack, betray his own pack? What did he stand to gain?I had so many questions, and he was the only one left who had the answers.Besides me, Blade began to walk towards his father. His steps were light and short, but he moved with a purpose. I stretched out my hand, stopping him in his tracks, but I kept my gaze on Garrick, in case he tried anything funny.When he finally spoke, it was with a tone of resignation,“Where did you get
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
I frowned as I stared into his eyes,Dinner? What was he thinking?Back in the past, I knew he liked me, but we were never an item. Why would he suddenly want to take me out?Damien was not trying to intimidate me like Adrian. But there was a power beneath his calm that was making my senses tingle.
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
“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
