Emily’s POV

The sound of Renon’s laughter was harsh and mocking. I tugged weakly at the chains cutting into my wrists, my breaths shallow and ragged, my entire body trembling.

“You want to know what I put into you?” Renon sneered, his voice carrying a dangerous delight. “Relax…It wasn’t poison, Emily. No, it was something far more… dangerous.”

I swallowed hard, forcing myself to meet his gaze even as fear coiled in my chest like a serpent ready to strike. “What was it?” My voice cracked, but I managed to keep it steady enough.

His smile widened, and he stepped closer, crouching just enough to look directly into my eyes. “It was created by one of the most powerful witches to have ever lived. A concoction that was made to trigger every shred of power inside of you.” His lips curled upward, exposing a grin filled with arrogance. “But power, my dear, always comes with consequences.”

His words sent a shiver through me. My wolf stirred inside, growling low, restless, as if already resistin

    Marcus’s POVSlowly, painfully, I clawed my way back toward consciousness. The first thing I felt was the pounding in my skull. Then, the ache in my chest became deep.I gasped, my eyes flying open, only to squint against the dim glow of unfamiliar candles. The air smelled of herbs and smoke, not the earth of my pack’s lands. I sat up too quickly, dizziness crashing over me, forcing me back down against soft sheets I didn’t recognize.“Easy.”The voice was calm and steady sounding familiar. I turned my head, and there stood Alex. Relief flickered through me. If Alex was here, then at least I wasn’t completely alone in whatever pit of uncertainty I had landed in.“Alex…” My voice was hoarse, strained. “Where…where am I? This isn’t home.”“You’ve been unconscious for two days,” Alex explained, his eyes sharp with concern. “We tried everything, the healers, even the wolf-shamans. Nothing worked. So we brought you here, to Elaria.”“Elaria?” The name sent a ripple of unease through me.“

    Emily’s POVI wandered through the emptiness. It was as though I had been transported to some forsaken place. My steps were aimless, yet I felt compelled to keep moving, driven by some invisible force I couldn’t name.Eventually, I stumbled upon a river. I leaned closer to the water.And then I saw it, my own reflection. Or at least, what I thought was mine. A wolf stared back at me, Violet eyes glowing softly beneath the pale light. Its fur was black as midnight, streaked with shadows, sleek and wild. My heart lurched.But just as quickly as it appeared, the reflection dissolved. The wolf vanished, and in its place, only emptiness stared back at me. My reflection was gone. I was left staring into the river, alone.I backed away, my breath shallow, panic fluttering in my chest. Then I saw her again.The figure.Violet eyes. She turned slowly, as though inviting me to follow, and without thinking, I did. Each step was hesitant, but something inside me, an instinct I could not name, d

    Marcus’s POVThe morning air in the fortress felt heavier than usual. I was pacing in my private chambers, Alex close behind, his presence steady as ever. My mind was restless, my thoughts so disorganized, all circling around one unshakable concern: Emily.“Marcus,” Alex said, breaking my spiraling thoughts. “The council meeting will start soon. We should get going.”I stopped pacing and ran a hand over my face, rubbing the tension from my eyes. “I know, Alex,” I said, though my voice was tight, nearly strangled by the worry I carried. “I just… I don’t understand. Beth has been avoiding me ever since I asked her about Emily’s whereabouts. Does she know something? Do you think she's hiding something?”Alex’s brow furrowed. “You don’t think she’d…”“I don’t want to believe it,” I cut him off sharply. My chest tightened, and I took a deep breath. “I trust Beth. I’ve trusted her for years. But the way she’s been acting… it doesn’t sit right with me.”He didn’t respond, just gave a small,

    Marcus’s POVThe dungeon reeked of old blood and damp stone, the stench of wolfbane clinging to every corner. Chains rattled faintly in the distance, a reminder of the countless souls who had been broken here. I stood in the shadows, arms crossed, my patience wearing thinner by the second. My jaw clenched as I paced, each step echoing in the silence.Where was Alex?Every moment wasted gnawed at me. My thoughts kept circling back to Emily and her face, her voice, the way I had sent her away safely only to be taken from me. The rage inside me was a living, breathing thing, demanding an outlet. Tonight, that outlet would be the guard.Finally, footsteps approached. Alex appeared at the doorway. And with him, dragged by the collar like a mutt, was the guard.The man’s face was pale, his eyes wide with fear, though he tried to mask it with forced defiance. But I could smell his fear. It rolled off him in waves.“There you go,” Alex grunted, shoving the guard forward. “Caught him trying

  • Rejected by the Alpha king    CHAPTER NINETEEN

    Renon’s POVMy mind refused to rest. Even in the quiet of my bedchamber, tension coiled through my veins. I stood near the window, my gaze locked on the moon, its pale glow cutting across the stone floor.My Beta stood a few steps behind me, waiting for my command, his arms crossed tightly against his broad chest.“We double the guards at the girl’s chamber,” I said, my tone leaving no room for debate. “No one comes near her without my permission. No one.”He inclined his head in agreement. “Understood, Alpha. She’s already restrained, weakened. Do you still fear she might escape?”A growl rumbled in my throat, quiet but sharp enough to make him tense. “Fear? I do not fear her. But she is unpredictable. And unpredictability is dangerous. Emily has something about her, something even I can’t fully see. I won’t risk losing control of her again.”Before my Beta could respond, the door creaked open. I turned sharply, my irritation spiking.It was Lilith.She stepped inside with the kind
