Eric's POV

The compound looked empty.

Even before we reached the outer gates, I could feel it.

Too quiet.

A place that had once held thousands of wolves should have been alive with scent .... sweat, metal, blood, cooking fires, movement. Instead the air hung stale and empty, like a battlefield long after the bodies had been cleared away.

Anton slowed the SUV beside mine as we approached the rusted barricade at the compound entrance. Several vehicles idled behind us in a loose convo

  • Rejected Mate: Rise of the Lycan Princess    Chapter 228

    Eric’s POV The room had gone silent. Not the comfortable kind of silence that came after a long conversation. This one felt wrong. Heavy. Everyone stood around the large table in the temporary command room, staring at the screen mounted against the wall. Persephone’s face filled it. Beautiful. Calm. Almost serene. There was no rage in her expression. No sign of the woman who had spent centuries imprisoned beneath an ancient temple. She looked completely certain of herself. Behind her stood members of the Veil. And between them Hannah. Elena. My chest tightened. Persephone's voice continued through the speakers. “Every pack and every clan has a choice. Stand with me, or stand against me.” The message was short. There was no negotiation in it. No request. It was a warning. When the screen went black, nobody spoke. I kept staring at it. I couldn't move. I'd spent days telling myself that Elena was still in there. That whatever Perse

    Angus's POV No guards stood on the walls. No patrols moved through the streets. Even from where I stood on the hill overlooking the settlement, I could feel the fear hanging in the air. The pack had refused Persephone's ultimatum. Now they were about to pay for it. Beside me, Persephone watched without saying a word. Her purple eyes were fixed on the settlement below. Hannah and Elena stood at the front of the army. They looked nothing like themselves. Hannah's face was expressionless. Elena stood beside her, her hands relaxed at her sides. Both were waiting for the order. I looked at Persephone. "Are you sure about this?" She didn't look at me. "They made their choice." "They refused to submit." "They chose against me." "They don't know you." That finally made her turn. "They know enough." I shook my head. "They've never met you." "They know what the Council did." "And they still chose not to stand with you." Her voice was cold. "Then

    Third Person's POV The room was silent except for the faint hum of the lights. Persephone stood in front of the tall windows, looking down at the city. Los Angeles stretched beneath her, bright and restless even this late at night. Cars moved along the streets like streams of light. Buildings rose into the darkness, filled with people who had no idea that their world was about to change. For centuries, Persephone had existed beneath the earth. Now she was standing above it. Free. And she had no intention of wasting another moment. Behind her, Hannah and Elena stood perfectly still. Their eyes were open, but something about them was different. The warmth that usually lived in Hannah's expression was gone. So was Elena's familiar spark. They were still there. Somewhere beneath the compulsion. But Persephone had buried those parts beneath layers of commands, distorted memories, and carefully chosen emotions. She hadn't erased them. She had simply changed what they believ

    Third Person's POV The Daywalker Council had descended into chaos. For centuries, the Elders had kept their secrets buried beneath layers of laws, traditions, and silence. Now those secrets were coming apart. The ancient prison had been found. Persephone was free. Hannah and Elena were missing. And for the first time in generations, the Council was no longer sure it understood the threat it was facing. Atreus stood in the middle of his estate, staring at the map spread across the table. The Council had finally given them the location. The ancient temple. The underground prison. The place where Hannah and Elena were most likely being held. It wasn't much. But it was something. Eric stood opposite him, studying the marked routes. "We'll need a team at the entrance," he said. "Another group can circle around in case there's another way inside." Anton nodded. "And if the Veil is still there?" "We fight." Devon looked toward Atreus. "You think th

    Third Person's POVFor the first time in centuries, Persephone stood beneath an open sky.She stopped at the entrance of the temple and lifted her face toward the night.The wind moved through her blond hair.She closed her eyes.Freedom.The word barely captured what she felt.Behind her, Angus emerged from the temple.He watched her quietly.For so long, he'd imagined this moment.He'd imagined taking her somewhere far away from the people who had imprisoned her. Somewhere they could disappear and finally live without anyone hunting them.He stepped closer."We should go."Persephone opened her eyes."Go where?""Anywhere you want."She turned toward him."Anywhere?"Angus nodded."It's over now my love. We can leave, there's nothing tying us here anymore. We are finished here"Her expression changed."No."Angus frowned."No?""I haven't."She looked back toward the temple."The seal is broken.""Yes.""I'm free.""Yes."She turned to him."Then I can finally do what I promised mys

  • Rejected Mate: Rise of the Lycan Princess    Chapter 223

    Third Person's POV The doors opened with a deep groan. Hannah and Elena were dragged into the chamber. Neither of them had been told where they were going, weakening collars had been snapped around their neck before they were dragged off. The corridors beneath the temple seemed endless, twisting deeper into the earth until even the sounds of the world above disappeared. Hannah stumbled as the Daywalker holding her arm shoved her forward. Elena immediately caught her. "Don't touch her." The Daywalker ignored her. They were brought into a vast circular chamber. Hannah stopped. Her breathing caught. She knew this place. She had never been here. Yet somehow. She knew it. The enormous pillars. The ancient symbols carved into the walls. The blue light glowing beneath the stone. The massive seal at the center of the chamber. Her eyes widened. "No." Elena looked at her. "What?" Hannah stared at the seal. "I've seen this." Elena frowned. "When?" "In my visions." Th

    Cora’s POV The dining hall had never felt so large. It was ridiculous, really. I had eaten here a hundred times before. Laughed here. Fought here. Thrown bread at Hannah here. Sat across from Eric while he pretended not to watch me like I was the only person in the room. But tonight it felt li

    Cain's POV The sting on my cheek hadn’t faded. Not the physical one. That one was nothing. I’d taken blows harder than Cora’s slap in training sessions when I was barely a teenager. Wolves healed fast. Flesh repaired itself. But pride? Pride didn’t. And whatever she had struck across my

    Cora's POV The morning light slanted through the tall windows of Frostbite, painting the snow-covered courtyard in shades of silver and gray. I had expected relief, warmth, after the night’s chaos. The rogues had been repelled, Cain had disappeared, and for a moment, the world should have felt
