FIFTY THREE
LAUREL’s POV
Death.
It is inevitable. For all who are born are destined to die. It is a fact that everyone knows, including myself.
But why do I find it hard to believe that death has claimed Helios.
No, it cannot be.
I shake my head. It is my turn to grab Rhode by the collar and I hiss in his face, “You lie.”
Helios has never once lost a battle, he has never once yielded in combat. No one should have been able to slay Helios, he is the undefeatable Alpha of the Southlands. How can he be dead?
It is a joke…it is a cruel joke. It has to be.
Rhode’s lips quiver, he is in disbelief himself. “I am sorry, but it is the truth. I am so sorry…the guards found his body by the borders while on patrol. They are bringing his body back as we speak.” He breaks down into an uncontrollable sob and that is when the truth sinks in.

LAUREL’s POVI walk towards the Blue House, slowing my pace as I approach the entrance. The place looks barren and empty, guarded by only one man. There had been so many before, and all but one have gone into mourning, lighting candles outside the morgue.The lone guard lifts his eyes to meet my face and bows slightly and I can tell that he is grieving, but most of all, he is scared.What will happen to the pack now that our Alpha is gone?I want to cry more than anything but I have to keep it together for him and for everyone in the pack. In a way, Nox is right, we are only as strong as the weakest link. There will be no weak link, not here, not in Morningstar. We will prevail, we must.I nod back and enter the Blue House. Inside, it is quiet as it is cold. I draw in a deep breath and slowly exhale as I walk towards the basement door.There is someone I need to see before th

LAUREL’s POVWe sit on the steps of my porch, both Caleb and I. I have a blanket wrapped around me while he has taken off his shirt. It shirt hangs by a stick next to the bonfire we made next to my porch. The rain has finally stopped and in its place is a clear night with stars shining bright above our heads without twinkling.“Feel better?” Caleb is the first to break the silence.I nod, folding the blanket over myself.“Do you think you can win in the duel against Nox tomorrow?”I suck in a breath and look at the sky. “I don’t know.”It is an honest answer.I feel Caleb’s fingers graze against mine, his warm, mine cold and I look down to see him taking my hand and rubbing them with his.“You’re cold,” he says simply and I am suddenly reminded of how Helios once warmed my hands. My body instinctively acts and I quickly snatch

LAUREL’s POVI stand at the Morningstar Square as the blazing sun rises above the horizon. Today, there is no morning breeze, instead, I feel the heat radiate in rippling waves as they rise above the ground over my boots. Here is where the duel with Nox will be.A throng of spectators have gathered, they sit on rows upon rows of bleachers that curve upwards and though I wish it did not have to come to this, I have to admit that Rhode did a spectacular job in creating this makeshift arena. There is even a large scoreboard that has been erected behind the bleachers. I wonder if anyone placed bets on this duel.“Laurel! You can do this!” someone screams from the crowd.I squint my eyes, shielding them with my hand as my head turns towards the direction of the voice. And from the stands, I see the twins. They jump up and down, shaking their fists in the air.“We’re rooting for you!” the

LAUREL’s POV I should be dead, but I am not. The sun, now high up in the sky shines down on me and its rays fuel the transformation in my body. It is something Deigo did not tell me about. I guess he himself did not know that. I draw in a breath and my heart gives a single powerful beat. As it does so, death releases its hold on me and slithers away. With the beatings of my heart comes a newfound strength that I have never felt before. If I could jump thirty feet in the air before in my wolf form, I can leap fifty in my human form now. If I could hear whispered conversations in the next room, now I can hear hushed talks a mile away. My sense of smell is a wonder; the musky ordor that prevails in the air hits my nostrils and I can smell my own blood mixed with Nox’s sweat. Hmm...Nox doesn’t smell very nice. Slowly, I open my eyes and turn to look at the man who is trying to murder me. He gasps, feeling the power in my gaze and with a flick of my finger, I push his hands away. The

LAUREL’s POV Marty. I had put so much hope in the past being the past but it seems that I am beset with problems, they never seem to stop. I rub at my temple and wave Rhode away. “Tell him I will meet him at the meeting room in the town hall.” A worried Rhode bows and retreats. Then, slamming the door shut, I quickly take out the tiny bottle from my pocket and pop Doctor Ramoth’s pill into my mouth, swallowing it dry. It is my last pill, I will have to pay him a visit later for more supply. The effect is immediate and I feel the cramps in my stomach lessen. I inhale deeply and palm my belly, whispering an apology to my unborn child, “As soon as mummy gets rid of Marty, you can have your fill.” It is my desire to talk Marty out of this whole charade of me being his mate. He and I both know who his fated mate is; Jamie. I frown as I pull my jacket tighter around me and step out of the chamber. The guards immediately stand erect and give me a salute. These are the guards who stood g

LAUREL’s POV “Stop.” A voice speaks and the hands that were tearing at my blouse, violating me quickly stop and drop to their sides. I blink away my tears to see an outline of someone moving towards us. It is only an outline but the voice that spoke sounded devoid of life. The shadow pauses. The person finally steps out of the shadows and my heart all but stops a beat. Jamie. Never in my life have ever been so happy to see her. She is green from head to toe and naked as a newborn but she walks seemingly without shame. “What are you doing here?” Marty whirls around and growls at her. “Is this how you treat your one true mate?” Jamie asks him again, her voice remains flat and monotone. “It’s none of your concern woman. Leave before I whip you again.” Jamie considers her answer for ages. “No.” Then, she looks in my direction and directs the question to Marty bitterly, “Are you trying to fuck her?” Marty loses his patience and slaps her across the face. But to my surprise, Jamie

LAUREL’s POVIn the darkened room, I stand guard against the door with the stool in my hands.But Marty does not come. No one comes.One day passes, and then the next and by the third…at least I think it is the third, I am weakened from starvation and severe dehydration.And just when I think I will die in this Goddess-forsaken room, a knock comes at the door.“I’m coming in, darling.”Whatever is left in my blood freezes. He is here. My hands grip the legs of the stool and with all my strength, I lift it above my head, ready to strike Marty when he enters.There is a single click on the door and it swings open with a bang. Light from the hallway pours in, momentarily blinding me.“Did you miss me?” his voice rings out and I run forward to smash the stool on his head, hoping to distract him enough for me to run. Surprisingly, Marty does not dodge. He must

HELIOS’ POV SOMETIME BEFORE HIS ‘DEATH’ “Alpha, we’re lost,” Ares reports as he cuts down the branches of trees and wild bushes that block our path. A frown fleets across my face and I stare down at the pendant that hangs off a golden chain around my neck. “We’re getting closer.” Ares comes to an abrupt stop in front of me and turns around, pouting. “I don’t think so.” I cock my head to look past him. “No, we’re not...ohh….” I stare ahead to see the broken branches ahead of us. Ares is right, we are going around in circles. My grip on the pendant becomes tighter and a look of pure disgust fills my face. “Then why is it shining so brightly? She has to be near.” The pendant pulsates a dull red, I can even feel it’s phantom hum. Once, as a child, before mother met her mate, I had asked to play with her pendant to which father said no. And when I started to cry, he had picked me up, sat me on his lap and began to tell me a story, “Son, this pendant that I gave your mother is very sp
