MasukNolan’s P.O.V. (Continued)“This pain… it’s not ours. It’s our mates. If we fight against it, it will cause them severe damage. We need to help them by enduring it,” he added grimly, but my breath hitched.Elara had a good endurance toward the pain, but this was too much.Carl groaned in pain, trying to curl up his body, but Gold stopped him.“Mack, reach Ruth, and let him take this pain, sparing Carl,” Gold instructed Mack further.Ruth was Carl’s wolf. He was also as fierce as Gold was.He was truly loyal to Gold, and that’s why Gold always protected him.“This will cause him immense pain, Gold,” I said to him worriedly, startled by his instruction to Mack.Gold groaned painfully, and it was then that I realized that I wasn’t in pain anymore.My eyes widened in shock.Gold did the same thing. He put himself between me and the pain, blocking it completely.“Are you insane? Let it come to me, Gold. Let’s share it,” I yelled at him in panic.He grimaced but didn’t reply to me.Neither
Xyla’s P.O.V.I woke up restless and in immense pain.I expected those witches to give up after Brian and Mona attacked them, but they fought fiercely, draining me completely.So, after subduing them, Xander brought me back to my room, and I fell asleep the second my body hit the mattress.And now this immense pain….Not only I, but Honey was also groaning in pain as if someone were stabbing us continuously.“What’s going on, Honey?” I asked her while whimpering in pain; my whole body was now covered with sweat.“So…. Someone is hurting wolves close to us.” She replied in a whimper, and then she howled painfully when a sudden jolt of pain hit our chest hard.It was so intense that I felt as if all my internal organs had crashed at once.The pain brought back the memories of my death.The same sensation of immense pain, but slow death, shook every fiber of my body.I wanted to scream but couldn’t.I wanted to call Xander through mind-link, but felt as if the whole world had isolated m
Xander’s P.O.V.“How did this happen?” Alpha Nolan mumbled in disbelief while staring at the bodies of the two unconscious women inside the cell that was specially prepared for them.“This isn’t the question that you should have asked, Alpha Nolan,” I said to him coldly, clenching my jaw so that I almost ground my molars in the process.“What do you mean?” Alpha Nolan asked me in a confused tone.“They look exactly like Luna Elara and Beta Grace. How can you say that they are not the original ones?” I asked him and slowly moved my gaze in his direction.He sucked in a breath and looked back at the women in the cell. The question startled them, and I could see doubts Carl was also standing behind him with an expressionless face.“This is getting out of hand. They….. they can replace anyone at any time.” He mumbled, and I agreed with him on this.“What should we do now?” Mack asked with a serious expression.“It’s easy to find if they are the real ones or the ones who were sleeping pea
Xyla’s P.O.V. (Continued)“Now you are worried for Ethan, Grace?” I asked her sarcastically, slowly standing up from the chair.I couldn’t pinpoint who among them was using magic on me right now, but it was intense.The gems were now burning my skin under them.“Watch your tone, Xyla. She is still your elder,” Mom scolded me, and I scoffed aloud, taking a step away from them.“Go home, Mom. Everything is fine here.” I instructed her calmly, flipping my back in their direction.“Stop now, Xyla.” Mom used her Luna command over me, forgetting that this command never worked on me.I slowly moved in their direction, looking a bit annoyed.“I am tired and hungry, Mom. I need to rest. Those witches can attack us at any time. So, I need a good rest, too so that I can fight them,” I stated flatly without masking my annoyance and anger in my tone.“I don’t care what you need, Xyla. I need answers, and you will not go away without providing them to me.” Mom replied angrily.I felt a sharp prick
Xyla’s P.O.V. (Continued)I walked to the garden at a steady pace as if I had all the time in the world.They looked at me as soon as they sensed my presence. It was good that Xander still masked his presence.So, the only strong presence here was mine.“Are they here to murder us?” Honey asked me with a short snort.I also felt that murderous gaze coming from them and it surprised me.Because both of them were looking at me with the same gaze.“Mom, Grace….. what happened?” I asked them in a concerned tone as soon as I reached them.“What is this, Xyla? I understand that you have your reasons to keep outsiders away from your space, but I am your mother.” Mom spoke to me in an angry tone, sounding as if she were being wronged.“It’s not only you, Mom. Dad also has to take permission before entering my space.” I replied to them calmly, but she became angrier.“What? Are you hiding a lover inside?” she spat, already on the verge of attacking me at any time.I sat down on one of the chai
Xyla’s P.O.V. (Continued)My whole existence melted down in his embrace, and I wrapped my hands around his torso tightly.The sparks and jolts of electricity made me feel alive once again.He buried his face inside my hair and inhaled sharply.“What took you so long?” he asked me in a hoarse and throaty voice.The pleasuring shiver that shot through my whole body made me tremble a little.“You know what happened tonight,” I replied while snuggling onto his shoulder.He hummed in response and pulled me up in his embrace.Without thinking, I wrapped my legs around his waist, still holding him tightly by his torso.He took me to bed and threw himself there.His back hit the mattress while I bounced over his body.He didn’t move his face away from my hair, and I had no desire to move either.We both stayed in the same position for, I don’t know, how much time, but the peace was comfortable.His steady heartbeat brought calmness to both my mind and heart.His hold on me was still tight, gi
Xyla’s P.O.V.For a few seconds, the whole world around me vanished when their gazes met.His dark black eyes were still as cold as I remembered them, but I was sure that I had tears in my amber eyes.Honey snarled in delight and tried to take over the control, but I pushed her back and blocked her
Xyla’s P.O.V. (Continued)My jaw clenched hard as those words felt like a taunt, her declaration that I didn’t matter to my parents.I still kept my face calm, waiting for my parents to say something.“Can anyone speak so brazenly in front of the alpha family and their guests, Alpha Nolan?” Xander
Xyla’s P.O.V.I could feel their eyes on me, but I didn’t look in their direction, not even once. They had something to discuss with me, and I knew what that was.But I wasn't in a mood to have an argument with them again.My goal was to finish my breakfast and then go away from them for the rest o
Naomi’s P.O.V.“Good morning, Dad. How was the meeting?” I asked my father cheerfully while taking a seat beside the dining table.“Good morning, honey. The meeting went well.” He answered with a faint smile while serving food on my mother’s plate.I envied their love sometimes, but they were fated
