KENDRA'S POV

Back in my bedroom, I paced up and down the floor. Tony was of no help to me. After I sat there listening to him vent about being passed over to become Beta, and getting him drunk, he still didn't let me in on where Dexter was keeping Daisy.

I had to find her for myself.

I waited for it to get dark, then I stealthily slipped out of my room when I felt like the coast was clear. I was out walking for an hour, not sure where I was headed, when a comment from Tony suddenly made sense. Dexter was keeping Daisy in the last place I would go.

Could that have been a hint from him?

It suddenly popped into my head. The library was the only place I didn't like visiting. I wasn't much of a reader, plus too many books kinda freaked me out a bit.

The library sat in the east of the yard. I hurried over to the east building, my heart pounding in my chest.

Since Daisy left, Dexter started to spend the majority of his free

    DAISY'S POVI was pissed off, tired and hungry, but most of all, I was worried about Zordon and why he hadn't come to save me. I wish I could fight, but the poison they injected me with was still in my veins, making me weak. Dexter was still here, taunting me, telling me how much he loved me and how much I loved him. I didn't know how much more of this I could take. "I told you, Dexter, I am not in love with you. I just want you to leave me alone. I have a mate I need to get back to. Besides, you are the one who sold me for your own personal benefits. So why are you trying to act like you care about me all of a sudden?" I asked him, an annoyed look on my face. "Can you please just eat, Daisy? I know you hate me. You've been here for almost five days, and you haven't eaten or drunk anything. I can hear you heartbeat weakening. So please just listen to me and do as I tell you."I sighed as he used his thumb to rub my lips. He smiled at me, scooping up more food as he tried to feed me

    DAISY'S POV"I will not reject my mate," I huffed. “So don’t even get that in your head.”"Are we not looking at the same article?" Dexter let out a loud laugh. I went and stared at it again. I couldn't believe my eyes. This was impossible. This must be an old issue, one that was distributed months before Zordon met me. But the date showed this was four days ago. He told me he was off to fight a war with some rogues because they were wreaking havoc on the borders of the Baywatch Pack. Could it be that he was secretly seeing Isla behind my back? Could this be why she hated me so much? Because I had the alpha she wanted. Could I be yet a second-time victim of infidelity?I couldn't even swallow the lump in my throat. Not even when I got injected with poison did I feel this weak. My body felt like it didn't belong to me. I growled, turning my head away from the newspaper. "Get it away from me." "No!" Dexter barked. "I want you to see it. Look at the man you want to choose instead

    KENDRA'S POVI found myself at the bar again. Tony was still there, drinking up a storm. "Hey, you're still here?" I said as I took a seat in front of him. "It's my day off and this is what I do on my day off." He ordered more liquor, and it impressed me to see how composed he still was after consuming so much alcohol. "What brings you back here? You're the Luna shouldn't you be enjoying your time somewhere else?" he rolled his eyes while he sipped on his drink. He was annoyed, I had to do or say something to get him interested in me. "You’re right. I wish my husband would take me out on a date, but I guess I'm not as pretty as Daisy," I shrugged. “So I'm left all alone while he plays with her in the basement of the library.” Tony’s head snapped to meet my gaze. “So you finally found her.”“Thanks to your hint,” I smirked. “I don’t know what you are talking about,” he let out with a crooked smile on his lips. Our eyes were connected far too long that he had to clear his throat a

    KENDRA'S POVTony's eyes glowed as his canines came out. He shoved me away from him. "My wolf would rip you to shreds before he ever let you make such accusations about us," he grunted. "I am respecting you the best I can because you're the Luna, but don't you think it's a bit too much for you to be acting so shameless?" Tony asked me, a hint of disgust on his face. "Yes, we slept together, but you don't have to be behaving so unladylike now.""Oh, please. It's okay for men to say that they love sex, but I can't say the same thing. You gave me what Dexter hasn't been able to give me this whole time. Of course, I want to savour this moment as much as I can. I don't think I am such a terrible person for that," I snapped.I watched as he finished getting dressed, and just as he was about to leave the room, I grabbed his arm. "What are you doing? Let go of me!" He snapped at me. "I'm sorry for threatening to lie about what happened between us, but I just have a question for you, Tony. H

    ZORDON'S POV"Don't touch me. I can get out of the car myself," I barked at Isla as she struggled to ease me out of the vehicle. I was just happy to be home. I needed to see Daisy.Although Elder Elric had tried to stop me from taking the elixir that would give me back my strength, I took it anyway. He said it would help me regain my strength but when the potion wore off I'd become weak again for a few days, but I didn't care. I just wanted to get back to Daisy and make sure that she was fine. "I'm just trying to help you, Alpha. I still don't believe it was healthy for you to travel back to the pack so soon," she said, and I didn't understand why she was trying to keep me away from my pack. The guards at the gates came to greet me and I immediately sensed that something was wrong. "Tell me what happened?" "OK Alpha, but let's go talk in your office," he bowed. ******I stared at the guard, a cold look on my face. "What do you mean, she's missing?""Alpha the Luna has been miss

    DAISY'S POV"You didn't think it was important for me to be found? You really wanted to get rid of me so much?" I felt my wolf struggling to stand, and I was sure she wanted to shift and rip Isla's throat out.My heart was burning in anger as I glared at the so-called beta.I had always known that there was something odd about this woman, but I didn't know that she wanted to get rid of me so badly. She actually said it wasn't important for me to be found. The audacity of this bitch. Zordon walked over to me with joy in his eyes. He grabbed my shoulders, and he stared at me like he was looking at diamonds for the first time. "Are you hurt? Nothing happened to you, right? What took place in the first place? How did you manage to go missing? Tell me all about it and I will make sure the person who did this pay!" Zordon added. I pushed him away from me and focused on Isla, who did not dare to meet my eyes. I wasn't over seeing them all lovey-dovey on the front page of the newspaper.

We need to find the person who did this to you and make them pay!" Zordon replied. "You don't need to find anyone. I am well aware of the person who did this to me. I just want to know what's going on," I answered firmly. "Well, if you must know, the Alpha —," Isla began but Zordon cut her off with a snarl. "What did I say about speaking out of terms?" She bowed her head in submission. Zordon faced me. "We ran into a little problem while we were fighting with the rogues. But it wasn't anything significant. I am fine now. You don't have to worry!" Zordon explained. "How can you say that it wasn't a big deal, Alpha? You almost lost your life. Do you know how worried I was about you?" Isla said. I sneered at her. She was sure acting like his wife. "Shut up Isla. Didn't I tell you not to talk about this? Besides let's talk about the things that you

Without saying another word to Zordon I began to make my way to the door. "Daisy, please wait, let's talk. I understand that you're angry, but we need to get you checked out at the healer," he called after me as I stormed my way into my bedroom.Although he had punished Isla, she had refused to apologize to me. She insisted that I had done something wrong and that I had probably orchestrated the whole kidnapping because I wanted Zordon's attention. I felt insulted that she would even think those things about me. "Look, Daisy. I already punished Isla. What else do you want me to do?" he finally caught up to me and grabbed my arm. "Let go of me. I didn't even do anything wrong. I am the victim here. I was kidnapped for crying out loud. And yet, she is saying that I orchestrated it all because I wanted you to come back?

The child had taken hold.A wolf blessed by the heavens... and touched by shadows.I smiled. My deal with Zordon had brought me everything I needed. His desperation had opened a door.

That wasn't the planned signal. That wasn't victory. That was a warning.I was already running.Behind me, Stefan and Lila ran behind me. I didn't look back. My only thought was her. Daisy. My mate. My Moonblood. And the child she now carried.My boots hit the forest floor hard, crushing frost and ash underfoot. The wind screamed through the trees as if it too sensed what was coming."She wasn't supposed to fight tonight!" Stefan shouted behind me."She didn't go to fight," I growled. "She went to steal something. That flare means something else found her."I didn't say the word out loud.Vorrak.Lila's warning haunted me. A soul-tethered beast, fed by Daisy's stolen power, twisted by Dexter's blood magic. And now it was loose, hunting the only thing it could feel connected to.My gut burned.

    DAISY'S POVBy nightfall, the wind turned sharp, dragging mist down from the peaks like claws across the stone. We met at the river's edge, cloaked in black and silver, our scents masked with ashroot and pine blood. The others didn't know about the pregnancy. Only Zordon, Lila, Isla, Dustin and Stefan. And for now, it needed to stay that way.If anyone doubted my strength, this mission would fail before it began.I paced in front of the river team, five of Deathclaw's most trusted: Isla, of course, quiet and deadly as a shadow; Dustin, the skeptic, chosen for his strategic mind; Nyra, a half-blood scout who could hold her breath underwater for minutes; and Pablo, the silent brute whose loyalty was as fierce as his temper.Zordon stood just outside the clearing, fists clenched at his sides, watching me like he wanted to drag me back into the stronghold and lock the doors behind us.But he knew better."This isn't just a raid," I told them. "We're not here to fight our way in and hope f

    DAISY'S POVThe scar beneath my heart wouldn't stop burning.Even after Lila collapsed and the circle was cleared, even after Isla scattered the lunar dust to sever the veil's residue, the pain pulsed beneath my skin like a second heartbeat.I gripped the table to steady myself. My legs had started trembling, and it wasn't just from fear.Something inside me felt... wrong. Not just the tether. Not just the Vorrak. Something deeper. Something new.Zordon came to my side and placed a hand on my back. "You need to lie down.""I'm fine," I said quickly."You're not."I tried to wave him off, but the moment I moved, a wave of nausea hit me like a storm. I turned my head sharply and barely made it to the basin in the corner before I vomited.Everyone went silent.Zordon rushed to me, crouching down. "Daisy—""I said I'm fine," I hissed, wiping my mouth. My entire body was shaking now. Too hot, then too cold. My magic surged beneath my skin, then recoiled, confused, and chaotic.Lila stepped

  • STOLEN BY THE RUTHLESS ALPHA   143 The Vorrak Walks

    DAISY'S POVThe war room of the Deathclaw stronghold was carved into the side of a mountain, cold stone kissed with moss and ash. A fire roared in the center pit, casting flickering shadows across the worn wooden table littered with maps, rune stones, and hastily scrawled plans.I stood at the head of it all, hands braced against the edge of the table, eyes locked on the map of Pinewood territory."We strike the south flank here," Zordon said, tapping near the Ashen Bridge. "The guards rotate every two hours. We move just before dawn while the full patrol is returning and the replacements are still getting into place.""They'll expect a direct charge," Dustin muttered, arms crossed. "We should bring in the witchfire archers from the House of Authur. Rain hell down on them first.""We can't," Lila said from across the room. "If the wards they're using are blood-bound, witchfire won't work. It'll bounce off and hit our own."I raised a hand, cutting the bickering short. "We need a dist

    DAISY'S POVThe first thing I felt was fire burning hot, and coursing through my chest like molten glass. Then came the cold. Like I'd fallen through ice. Voices echoed in the dark. Zordon's. Isla's. And another one. It was strange, but familiar all at the same time.Then light.I gasped, my body arching off the bed as if jolted by lightning. My lungs filled with air like it was the first breath I'd ever taken. My heart thundered in my chest.And I saw her.Her face was kind. Her magic was powerful. But her scent and her aura was wrong. Too clean. Too perfect. It struck me like a scream in the silence."You," I rasped.The room went quiet.Zordon leaned in. "Daisy? It's okay, you're safe. It's over."But I didn't take my eyes off the woman beside me."You're the one," I whispered. My throat was dry, but the rage surged like a tide. "You hexed me. You cursed me.""What are you talking about?" she asked gently.But I saw it then. Her true face. Beneath the glamour, beyond the spell. I k

You're here to break the curse, just do what you came here to do," I said sharply."My mother made that dagger for Daisy's mother," she replied, her voice firm. "The only way you should have it is if you killed her. So I'll ask one more time, where did you get that dagger?""Well, my mother told me a powerful witch gave it to her," I said. She pointed at the dagger. "That insignia engraved on the hilt? It belongs to the House of Luthur. My family. My mother only ever spelled one dagger and she gave it to Daisy's mother. Daisy was my neighbour... and my best friend.""When she wakes up, we'll talk," Isla cut in. "But right now, can you help her?"Lila looked from Isla to me and gave a small nod. She stepped toward Daisy and passed through what seemed to be a magical shield surrounding her. Carefully, she pulled the dagger from her chest.Daisy’s eyes flew open. She grabbed Lila's wrist, yanked the dagger from her, and threw it at m

    ZORDON'S POVI held her tightly, feeling her life slowly drain away in my arms. The pain she felt became mine, sinking deep into my chest. There was no way to explain why I had to drive a dagger into her heart—no version of this story where my actions could be justified. But I had been faced with an impossible choice: her life, or the lives of everyone in this pack.I carried her to my room, gently placing her on my bed. I sat beside her, numb and silent. Moments later, Isla entered with Stefan and Dustin. No one spoke. No one could.We had just managed to contain another attack from the Pinewood pack. I was reaching my breaking point. One more push, and I'd stop holding back. Retaliation was becoming inevitable."Since no one wants to ask the obvious question, I will," Isla said coldly. "Why the hell do you have a spelled dagger in your room? Where did you even get something like that?""It belonged to my mother," I replied quietly. "A witch made it for her, specifically for me. She

Of course, he was going to choose her over me. There was no version of this story where he would look at both of us and pick me. Never.This was supposed to be a mission. Just a mission. I was supposed to help my father ruin him. I knew it was a bad idea from the start. But Dexter’s charm... it worked its magic on me. Now here I was, hopelessly in love with a man who was still obsessed with another woman.I couldn't do this anymore.I wanted to go home. I wanted to call Tony and tell him I'd made up my mind—that I wanted to be with him. That I was done holding out hope for Dexter. Done waiting for him to change. I was tired of being humiliated. Tired of being a placeholder in his life. He was never going to love me the way I needed him to.I wasn't going to keep stroking his ego or warming his bed like I
