LOGINSorrel’s POV Mother’s words stayed with me throughout the day and the next. Does that mean I could not protect Kaine? He had been pale, lips red from what I couldn’t identify and his body was trembling. It was the first time I was seeing that.I wasn’t going to allow that. I had already lost Mother; I wasn’t going to allow the same fate to meet Kaine, my father, and the rest. I could save them before it was too late.I would go and talk to him. I quickly got to my feet, opened the curtain, had a bath, dressed up, and left the room.Nathaniel had not been around since my little confrontation. I knew when he returned it would be a bloodbath and I wouldn’t wait for that to move.“My lady,” Poppy said, falling into step behind me. “How are you feeling?”“I am fine,” I answered. “Get me some fruit and bring it to the Oracle’s room.”“Yes, my lady.” She went to get them and went down to Kaine’s room.On getting there I heard, “You have to tell her.”“You will not mention a word of it to
Sorrel’s POVI stared down at Nathaniel, his eyes were blown wide. Pupils staring at me in disbelief. I slowly looked down at my hands to see me gripping him by the collar.What must have given me such strength to attack him. Rage came to my mind. Unholy, unadulterated rage that made me blind to anything.I stumbled away from him and stood, my hands shaking.From the ground, Nathaniel looked at me in wonder. He didn’t breathe a word, didn’t blink. He just watched me. I turned away and walked out of the room.My body ached in the most insane way; I felt my head throbbing like something had been yanked from it. My muscles were all mushy and I moved like a newborn babe.“My lady.” I turned toward the stairs leading up to our room and saw Poppy.“Poppy.” I gasped.She sauntered forward carefully as though scared that I might shatter. Her eyes roamed my face in a quick motion, noting my chaotic state “What happened?” She touched me and I hugged her.She had not been around. She was retur
Kaine’s POVI watched Sorrel walk out of her mother’s room. My eyes were on the Luna’s mother. I met her when most of my memories had returned so I knew her and knew how Sorrel was fond of her parents.Unlike me, she had her memory from when she was little till this age. When I remembered how my parents died, it was gutting. It was like everything that made me was yanked from within.That was years ago; however, Sorrel hadn't expected to return from the trip to the black market to this sight. To her mother dying in the hands of the plague.I followed behind her slowly, knowing that she needed space. The last thing she wanted was to be with anyone.Having emotions and understanding them was like walking. You didn't have to think to walk; you simply moved and knew the other leg would follow. They walk hand in hand.Emotions were like that. Feeling them was like that and understanding them was like that. It couldn’t be explained. I followed her knowing she was sad, hurting, and that sh
Sorrel's POVMy world was spinning out of control. I thought my hand would fall from how it trembled. “What…” I caressed her cheeks, smearing the blood as my stomach churned in terror. “What happened? How did you get it?”There was only one way to get it. There was only one person who made it possible.But the thought refused to form.“What happened?” I asked again, tears streaming down my face. “You can tell me. How did you get it.”“Luna,” I heard the panicking voice of the physician. “Please let me take a look at her.”I held my mother still, sniffing her. “Please don’t leave me, please don’t close your eyes.” I was still holding her when hands gripped me firmly, not to hurt and pulled me backwards.I turned to see father. “Let the physician look at her,” he said calmly, all the pain he felt whirling in his eyes. I could tell he had given up, I could see the silent dejection.And then it hit like a tornado. Did he know? Was he aware?His expression betrayed nothing. He was just s
Sorrel’s POV We were returning to the pack, morning was upon us and I wanted to be anywhere but back at the pack house. My mood simultaneously dropped on our way back. Kaine noticed it.“Is everything alright?” He was staring at me. “You don’t look fine.”“I am just thinking,” I answered honestly.“Of what?”“Home,” I said plainly. Although I’ve lived in the pack house for months it didn’t feel like home. It had never felt like home even during the courtship. It had always felt like where I stayed while traveling. I will go back home someday.“You do not want to go home?” He watched me from the side and I looked ahead.“No, I don’t want to.” He reached a hand and adjusted my hood over my head, tucking a strand of hair inside. “Why?”“There are things you don’t know, Kaine,” I said, still not staring at him. “I would like to tell you but I can’t because it will put you at risk.”“Like my brother?”I whipped my head in a break neck speed to look at him.“What do you mean?” I stared in
Sorrel’s POV His hands came up and wrapped around my waist, pulling me close. The kiss was unlike anything I’ve ever had before. It was precise and filled with control. His lips moulded perfectly with mine and his hand remained in a place for a while, still at my back.Before it crept up in an exploratory manner, touching my spine, my sides, and up to my neck.And then the thought came again, obtrusive.Kaine was touching me.The oracle Kaine was kissing me.The thought turned me on. My stomach was filled with wings fluttering in circles and my body was hot enough to convulse.When his tongue slid into mine, my whole system trembled. It was a simple kiss, but I could feel the fire beneath it, the fire behind it. The possessiveness that came with it.‘Mine!’ It seemed to say, fingers wondering. ‘Mine. Mine always.’And my body sang in acceptance. ‘Yours!’Heaven knew I’d been his the second I laid eyes on him. The second our matebond snapped into place. There was no one else I belonge
Sorrel’s POVThe pack house was a mess as we tried to clean up. Blood filled the house. It was too much and too sudden that the oracle and a couple of white werewolves had to come down to the pack.They were doing the cleansing of the pack while we dragged the dead bodies out. I couldn’t keep the f
Sorrel’s povMy body was on fire. For two days after the rejection, it felt like I would combust into tiny pieces of flesh, but I didn’t and some part of me wished I’d do.Today I was accepting my fate.I was Luna to the Wolffang pack and I was married to Alpha Nathaniel whether I liked it or not.
Sorrel’s pov“Who’s your mate?“ Nathaniel asked the moment we were in our room. He was furious, ready to burn me to the ground with his stare.He was never going to love me, even after 6 months of courtship to sell this lie.“Answer me!” He barked and I flinched.“No one!” I blurted out. I don’t kn
Sorrel’s povNo…no…noI stumbled back, hands on the wall as I tried to find my way back to my fitting room. Noise hummed in my head and their moans floated at the back of my mind.*It’s normal. It’s okay after all this is all just formalities* I told myself repeatedly as I crept down the cold hallw
