DRAKE POV

The war council chamber was thick with tension with Maps spread all over the wide oak table, marked with the recent raids. I stood at the head with my palms flat on the wood, feeling them all staring at me.

“The northern ridge was a scouting party,” I stated sharply. “They were testing our defenses. They confirmed what we already suspected. They are not just raiding. They are planning something.”

Elder Marcus, whose caution often been seen as cowardice, cleared his throat. “Alpha, with all due respect, their demands have been consistent. They want the girl. The unclaimed mate.” He shifted uncomfortably in his seat. “Perhaps….perhaps a negotiation is not entirely out of the question. For the sake of the entire pack’s safety….could we not consider…?”

I did not let him finish. I growled menacingly as my eyes flashed, the Alpha power in the room spiking with full force and every person at the table flinched.

“Consider what, Elder?” I whispered. “Consider handing over a member of

    LUCAS POVFor the first time in my life, I was utterly speechless.Andre looked like he had been physically struck on the face as he turned pale as sheet, staring at the empty space where Drake had stood just seconds before. Then, the weight of the world landed on his shoulders. Alpha Kael turned to him slowly like a predator considering it’s next meal, with hot fury seeping off him.“Explain.” The word wasn’t a request. It was a command. I saw Andre’s throat bobbed as he swallowed nervously. “Alpha Kael, 1….” he stammered, which was so unlike him. “This is…highly unusual of Alpha Drake. The stress of the recent Eastern Pack attacks, the pressure of the alliance…I can only assume he is….unwell.”It was a pathetic excuse, and we all knew it. Kael narrowed his eyes into slits and curled his lips. “Unwell?” he repeated skeptically. “He seemed well enough to disgrace my daughter and insult my pack in front of the entire Luxembourg nobility. This ‘unwellness’ looks so much like another wo

    DRAKE POVThe cold night air did nothing to cool the fire burning in my blood. I paced around the quiet north garden like a caged animal, with each step like an echo of the mistake I had just made. Lillian. I had called her Lillian. In front of everyone. In front of her.The look on Elara’s disappointed face was plastered behind my eyelids. The stunned silence of the entire pack. The cold look from Alpha Kael…it was a political disaster of huge proportions. And I couldn’t bring myself to care. All I could feel was the suffocating wrongness of it all. The bond with Elara was a constant, buzzing hum, which felt like a chain holding me to her. My wolf was a restless beast prowling in my mind. It didn’t want the golden haired stranger. It wanted….A scent hit me a second before she ran straight into me.A small, startled gasp came out from her lips as she stumbled back. I reached out instinctively to steady her, with my arms closing around her. The contact was like an electric shock, a j

    ANDRE POV“….and with the combined strength of our northern patrols, any invasion from the Silvermane Pack would be nothing short of suicidal,” Alpha Kael said and tapped a thick finger on the table for emphasis. He took a long drink from his wine goblet and his eyes, sharp and calculating, never leaving mine. “This alliance makes us the dominant power in this territory. A new era of stability.”I placed a practiced, diplomatic smile on my face and raised my wine glass. “Luxembourg has always valued stability, Alpha Kael. We look forward to a long and prosperous partnership.” The words tasted like ash on my tongue. Every laugh that echoed through the grand hall, every clink of glass, was a reminder of the personal cost of this ‘prosperous partnership.’My smile felt like a broken mask. My entire focus was divided, a part of me was here at this table, playing the dutiful Beta, and the other part connected to a pain so huge that it hurt my heart so bad. The mate bond with Lillian was a

    LILLIAN POVThe world had not gone back to normal. The four walls of my bedroom seemed to tilt upside down and the low celebratory buzz of music from the great hall below was a cruel, unsettling soundtrack to the end of my world.“He is a fool,” Salome declared as she paced from side to side. “A blessed, idiot fool. To have you and then be handed…that…by fate. The Moon Goddess has a sick sense of humor.”Lydia, perched on the edge of my bed and kept a steady hand on my knee. “It is not his fault, Salome. He didn’t ask for this. None of them did.” She said gently, but it did nothing to soothe the raw. gaping wound in my chest.“He didn’t refuse it either, did he?” Salome shot back, her eyes flashing in anger. “He just stood there and accepted it. In front of everyone. In front of her.” She stopped and looked at me, her anger melting into a puddle of helpless sympathy. “I am sorry, Lily. I am just so angry for you.”I was trying to breathe, to cling to the logical part of my brain that

    DRAKE POVThe knock on my door was a disturbance I didn’t want. I stood before the mirror to adjust the collar of my jacket, trying desperately to force the Alpha mask back into place, but the face that stared back at me was a stranger’s….hollow, shrunken, tense. “Enter.”The door swung open to reveal Lucas, leaning against the door frame with his usual playful smirk on his face. Then it wavered slightly when he saw me. “Well, don’t you look like you are going to a funeral instead of a a feast?”“What do you want, Lucas?” I grumbled and turned away from the mirror. “If you are here to mock me, save your breath.”“Mock you? Brother, the universe is doing a far better job of that than I ever could,” he said, and stepped inside. “I just came from the clinic. Thought I should come check on you before the main event. How is the happy couple?”I glared at him angrily. “Don’t.”“Right, sorry. Touchy subject.” He held his hands up in mock surrender before pouring himself a drink from my bar.

    ANDRE POVThe silence back to the pack house was thicker than the smoke from a blacksmith’s forge. Alpha Kael looked like a man who had just won the lottery, his daughter, Elara, walked in with a dazed look in her eyes, and Drake….Drake moved like a man marching to his own execution.My brother’s face was a mask of stone, but I could see the shock and restlessness in his eyes. He had just been handed every political dream on a silver platter, and it had shattered his world.“Alpha Drake,” Kael called out with a false cheer which pried through the tense silence. “A truly momentous day. The Moon Goddess has blessed both our packs beyond measure.”Drake did not even flinch. He just gave a curt, slight nod. “Andre,” he said roughly, his voice stripped of all emotion. “Please escort our guests to the east wing chambers. Ensure they have everything they require.”It was a dismissal. A desperate plea for a moment alone. I nodded. “Of course, Alpha. Right this way. Alpha Kael, Miss Elara.”I
