Marcus’s POV

“ What do you know about Emily?” I asked

“ I don't understand. Marcus…not today,” she held her hand in my face.

“How do you know her?”

The question came out sharper than I intended, my voice echoing off the stone walls of the chamber. My chest tightened as I stared at Beth, every muscle in my body tensed for her answer.

She leaned back against the edge of the bath like she had nothing to hide, but the flicker of discomfort in her eyes betrayed her.

“I don’t know what you mean,” she said lightly, though her smile didn’t reach her eyes.

“Don’t lie to me, Beth. I know you're well aware of what I'm talking about,” My tone was low, dangerous. “You said Emily’s name. You knew who I was talking about. How?”

She shifted, her body language betraying the confidence she tried to show. “Marcus, relax. I only meant what everyone else has been whispering. You think people don’t talk about the Alpha’s sudden little obsession with that Omega? You’ve made it obvious.”

    Marcus’s POVElena.I finally remembered. She was a friend who wanted to be more than one. Besides, she wanted more power which was why she decided to involve in dark magic and not nature's own.“We're almost there,” Alex said, interrupting my thoughts.I had no patience for witches. Their sly smiles and their audacity to act as though they stood above everyone else always rubbed me the wrong way. But tonight, I had no choice. If Elena could help me find Emily, then I would endure her presence, no matter how much it irritated me.Alex trailed silently behind me as we approached the little wood house hidden deep in the woods. Its windows glowed faintly with candlelight, and the air reeked of incense and dried herbs. I clenched my jaw, the piece of Emily’s cloth balled tightly in my fist. The moment I saw that house, anger burned in my chest. It was ridiculous that I had to come to a witch for answers. It should have been my men bringing me news, not this.Elena opened the door before

    Emily’s POVThe forest air was heavy in my lungs, I could hardly breathe.My legs trembled from exhaustion, I had been running for what felt like hours, every step fueled by the desperate hope of freedom.Then I froze.From the shadows, a low growl rumbled through the stillness, vibrating through the earth beneath me. My blood ran cold. I turned slowly, dread clawing up my spine, and there it was, glowing eyes, piercing straight into me. My body locked in fear. My escape attempt… it was over.I expected claws, teeth, and pain. Instead, what I saw made my stomach lurch.The wolf stopped a few feet away, its body quivering as bones shifted and cracked. My eyes widened in horror and disbelief as the beast began to transform. Fur receded, limbs twisted, the monstrous snout shrinking back into human features. I stumbled back, shielding my face with my hands until the process was complete.When I dared to look, a man stood before me, he was tall, broad-shouldered, his dark hair matted fr

    Emily’s POVThe days blurred together, an endless stretch of silence broken only by the sound of footsteps outside my door. No one came to see me, not the Alpha that had me captured, not any guard, not even a curious stranger. The only one who entered was Lilith.She was very consistent but weird. Three times a day, the door creaked open, and she appeared with a tray in her hands. Her dark eyes watched me carefully as she placed the food down and waited, saying little before she slipped away again.At first, I thought nothing of it. But as the days passed, I began to notice something strange. The heaviness in my body was lifting, slowly but surely. The fog in my mind was fading. My limbs no longer trembled the way they had when I first woke from the wolfsbane’s poison.Then it struck me.The bitter taste was gone.For days, she hadn’t given me wolfsbane.Suspicion gnawed at me until I couldn’t hold it in anymore. The next time she came in, I moved before she could leave. I was wea

    Marcus’s POV“Alpha,” A sharp knock pulled me from the shallow sleep I had slipped into. My eyes quickly opened, the heavy curtains still drowning the room in darkness, though faint lights still found their way into the room.I groaned, pressing the heel of my hand against my forehead. My thoughts had been restless all night, haunting memories circling, refusing to let me rest.“Alpha,” a timid voice broke the silence. “Your bath is ready.”The maid.Her silhouette lingered in the doorway, head bowed, hands clasped nervously in front of her apron. The sight of her was enough to snap the frayed cord of patience inside me.“Leave, I'm not ready,” I growled, my voice harsher than I intended.She flinched, her body shrinking back instantly. I watched her scramble away, nearly tripping over her own feet in her rush to escape the weight of my anger. The door shut softly, leaving me alone again in the stillness of my chambers.But not for long.Another knock came. The door opened before I

    The darkness was everywhere, pressing against me from all sides. I was lost, completely and utterly lost, stumbling through the woods on bare feet that were already numb from the cold and pain. The air was so cold and what I had on could barely protect me from the cold. Every instinct I possessed was screaming at me to turn around, to run as fast as my legs could carry me back to safety, but somehow I couldn't stop moving forward. It was as if invisible threads were wrapped around my limbs, tugging me deeper into the forest against my will.My heart hammered against my ribs so hard I thought it might burst right out of my chest. I bent down to remove the grass around my leg when I suddenly felt another presence in front of me, confirming my feeling with the shadow before me I looked up. That's when I saw her, an old woman stood several yards ahead of me, her silhouette barely visible through the mist that curled and twisted between the trees. Her face was completely hidden beneath a
