MasukAnastasia’s POVThe long table in the Grand Hall was filled with plates of roasted boar, spiced root vegetables, and flagons of dark, honeyed meat. For the first time in months, the air didn’t smell like damp earth and anxiety; it smelled like a feast. It smelled healthy and peaceful.I sat at the at the table, my body still aches from the bruises and injuries I got while I was in the human den. I stared at everyone jubilating and celebrating in the Grand hall, I thought that I would never see everyone again."You're staring again, Ana," a voice teased."I'm just making sure that everything I’m seeing is real," I whispered, reaching out to squeeze her hand. "The last time I saw you, I thought I was hallucinating from the silver poisoning."Arissa’s expression softened, but before she could speak, a heavy silence fell over the room.The heavy door opened with a creak, and the Lycan king strolled in as if he was the owner of the room. His aura and confidence was something that I would n
Nicholas povI stood in my study wondering where Anastasia could be, I felt confused, lost and broken. I couldn’t even imagine a world without her in it and I hope that the humans have nothing to do with what happened to her cause if they have anything to do with it, then they should better be prepared cause they would all die one after the other."Alpha."I didn't turn. I knew the voice. It was Misheal , my lead scout. His breathing was ragged, as if he’d run from the border without shifting."Report," I commanded, though my heart was already sinking into my gut."She’s not anywhere in the pack or the palace, My alpha. Everything in her quarter and laboratory are intact, not even a thing is missing. From our findings and observations, it’s safe to say that the humans took her."I could feel the whole world coming to a pause as I stood there staring at nothing. Anastasia was not just the pack healer, she was also my luna and the love of my life. I didn’t even know what to do without h
Anastasia’s POVMy heart broke into uncountable pieces with every step I took closer to Arissa’s quarter, I didn’t want to be the bearer of the bad news but someone needs to tell her and Nicholas said that he can’t be the one cause how would he look his sister in the eyes and tell her that he gave out her hand in marriage to the Lycan king without discussing it with her first."Tell her, Stasia," he had whispered. "I would never be able to look in to her eyes and tell her what I did, I’m not sure that I would be able to handle her reaction even if she agree to do it for the pack. It’d hurt me forever.”I opened the door to her chamber, and I saw her sitting by the hearth with a novel in her hands, I was sure that she was reading her best novel for the 1000th time today. For someone who loves trying new things, she really prefer being stuck with the old things cause it feels familiar like she always say.She was so lost in her book that she didn’t notice me until I sat beside her, she
Anastasia’s POVThe atmosphere in the Lycan king’s pack was not just cold, it felt suffocating and heavy as if the atmosphere was trying to squeeze my chest and press out all the oxygen and intestines in me.I shifted the heavy fur collar of my cloak as I walked beside Nicholas, we looked so sober and rigid that one would think that we were walking in to the lion’s den not coming here to seek for help from the Lycan King.Nicholas was the alpha of our pack but today, he didn’t look anything like the alpha that he was, he looked like a man carrying the weight and pain of our dying pack. Recent reports we received before we left the pack made me cry on our way here, our people were dying more and more each day after that attack the humans launched on us not quite long.It was like they intentionally kept poisons in some secret corners in the pack cause most of the wolves were getting killed day in and day out in the pack, and a toxic substance was found in them. We realized that we coul
Anastasia’s POVI felt confused and betrayed about Amelia’s action, I knew that she hated me cause she believed that I had everything she didn’t have and if she didn’t make desperate choices, she would always be below me but was this the right choice?Sometimes I could not help but wonder why she was so jealous of me and not content cause they were a lot of things she was better at than me but she stopped doing them cause I couldn’t do them, and she focused on the things that I could do but she couldn’t.I knew that it could have been anyone but I was sad and betrayed that it was Amelia, how could she be the spy? Was this one of the ways to show me that she was better than me or something?What did the humans even offer her that made her betray everyone and sell us out to them? Was her hatred for me that immense that she would risk killing everyone in the pack including herself cause she wanted to prove a point? Why? Why did she do this?What was her intention? Or did the humans threa
Ivan’s POVI sneaked around the palace in the night, looking around to be sure that nobody was around cause that’d just be one more person that I need to take care of tonight.I couldn’t afford to let Amelia be alive cause Anastasia was a fool who trusted people blindly even if they have given her a reason to not trust them again. Her stupid heart was just that big, and I couldn’t just let her live with everything she knows. I was scared that Anastasia might end up believing her and she would start monitoring me, and I knew that I would be caught red handed in 4k if that happens.I couldn’t even imagine how angry the humans would be if they find out that a wolf knows almost everything about me even if most of the stuffs I told her were nothing but lies.I sneaked in to the cell she was kept in, how stupid could they be to keep a suspected spy in the dungeon without any guards but I was still vigilant about my surroundings as I searched for Amelia in the dungeon.“I knew that you woul
