LOGINSorrel’s POVI stared back for a long time, waiting to hear the voice again, but I did not. It was all as if I imagined it.I waited… waited… and still nothing.Perhaps I did.“Luna Sorrel?” Stacy called and I jerked to the present.I cleared my throat and mentally smacked myself. “Sorry.”“Are you okay?” She asked. “You blanked out there for a moment.”I gave her my best reassuring smile. “Yeah. Yeah. Just shocked.”She grimaced, looked at her dead sister, and started sobbing again.I showed her and her husband a fresh room, the maids arranged it while they settled in.“How could my sister just die….she was fine. She was—““We’ll get to the bottom of this, Kaine will make sure of it,” I said, assuring her with nothing but a lie.The Whiteness had not discovered the sudden plague from last time, which made us throw the party, and now there was another one.One though. But the same symptoms.And two things the dead girl and the others had in common were; unusual bleeding and screwed Na
Sorrel’s POV“Ahhh!”A scream rippled through the hallway stopping me instantly on my steps. I twisted my neck and looked back.“What’s that?” I asked Poppy who immediately turned back with me.“I don’t know, your highness.”“Let’s take a loo—“I’ve barely completed my word when Luna Stacy came running. I caught her by reflex.It had been three days since the ball to quell the worry of the pack members. Most Alphas had departed to their packs safe for the alphas we had alliance with and the Alphas Nathaniel was trying to get to be his ally.Luna Stacy and her husband were part of those still in the pack house.“What’s the problem?” I asked, staring at a frightened Stacy.Her lips were trembling, body shaking under my fingers. Her head kept snapping back and forth like she expected something to chase her.“Look at me, tell me, what’s the problem? I can help.”And where the bleeding hell were her servants, why was the Luna alone?“B-b-blood.”By the mention of that one word my heart sl
Oracle’s POVThe first thing that I felt when her lips touched mine was fire.Scorching fire.I froze.She leaned even closer and her scent trailed past my nose. A soft sweet scent of flowers that reminded me of summer….The feeling of summer was soft and relaxing.However, her touch, her scent felt like the opposite. My heart beat accelerated, pulse slammed harder against my neck while my body felt like it was set ablaze.Every symptom resembled distress rather than relaxation.Yet the urge to pull away never came.Quite the opposite tho.How could something so distressful be so relaxing at the same time?Her fingers dropped to my arms and a strange tremor moved beneath my skin. “Luna—““Sorrel,” she breathed against my lips and the space beneath my ribs tightened. “Call me Sorrel.”Her lips trailed my lower one and I felt her tongue inside me.The heat was like a slam back into reality. Instantly I jerked back. All my senses are returning to me at once.My chest was as if an infern
Sorrel’s POVMy stomach twisted into knots with every step he took forward. Fear shot through me even as I remained still.There was nothing I could say, nothing to do. Because I knew what was going to happen I hadn't bothered to think of a lie.“You make a business of trying me, Luna.” He said, tone icy cold. “It’s either you know your place or your sweet pack would pay for it.”As scared as I was, I was tired. What exactly did I ever do wrong? What was my crime?I remained rooted to the ground when he fastened his fingers around my throat.“What was your plan—“A knock came on the door but Nathaniel ignored it. He tightened his grip, aiming to squash my windpipe. My eyes widened in fear, as I tried to speak.“You…” he spat. “You are a problem to me—““It’s the oracle,” Kaine called from outside.I’ve never been this terrified and relieved to see him at the same time. I was scared of what Nathaniel could do to him, but at the same time, I was glad he could save me. If only for this
Sorrel’s POVThe room was decorated in gold and red—every chair and table was adorned. High-ranking werewolves sat and chatted while the artist touched a key on his instruments.It was beautiful. Truly.But what transpired through this room was anything but pretty.“Remember, know your place,” Nathaniel said lowly. Tone as hard as a brick.“Yes, alpha.”He didn’t need to tell me, I wasn’t going to screw this up any further. As we made our way into the crowd, all eyes turned to us. I brandished my best sun-like smile, following Nathaniel.We sat at a table. Their Alpha pheromones filled the area, each competing to surpass the other.“Alpha Nathaniel,” they acknowledged, “Luna Sorrel.”I tilted my head as well, greeting them.“Tell us, Nathaniel, how did you secure such a beautiful wife?” Alpha Knox asked, smiling.“Through the moon goddess,” he replied flatly. Uninterested.“We have a deal with the issue at hand.” Nathaniel shifted to the edge of his seat, hands on the table.“Our all
Sorrel’s POV“We are done, Luna,” Poppy said, moving back.I rose to my feet, stared at my reflection, and smiled. “Thank you.”They bowed and walked out. I took the tonic to help me and downed it in one go. The bitter taste made me grimace.Nathaniel was waiting outside the door for me. With little effort, I swallowed the pain throbbing between my thighs and met him outside.“Luna.” He took my hand and locked arms with me. As I moved, the pain burned, peppery and hot. Whatever power he had was making it harder for me to heal. Either that or Nadia was weak as well.*Sorry* I told her, she was silent since it happened.*You are nice to everyone, but yourself, Sorrel*Her words made my eyes sting. *I’m sorry you are stuck with me**That’s not what I mean*I blinked rapidly to keep the tears away.*I know. I know*“….Luna.” The deep baritone of his voice jerked me from my head.Blinking, I lifted my eyes and saw the white wolves. Kaine and the rest of the Whiteness. They must have greete
Sorrel’s POVBy all that was unholy, he was shivering. I almost felt bad for him. I guess he was in a worse position than I was. And hey look at that—only because I was standing so close to him.“Luna….” He called, eyes wide, body crowded with tension. It was as if his brain had short-circuited.“I
Sorrel’s POVWe moved everyone to the far side of the pack house. Close to the backyard and away from the royal werewolves' eyeshot.We had a fire set and we cooked. The villagers joined in and we set the place. It was like a mini festival only missing music.I coordinated everything here while Nat
Sorrel’s POVThat was singularly the most stupid word I could have said.He halted, his grip on me now tentative, contemplating and deliberate as it was careful. His eyelids widened by just a tad bit and his faded green eyes watched as one observed a specimen.“And did you see anything?” In all my
Sorrel’s POVI stumbled inside, my head spinning. I barely paid attention to my surroundings when I ran into something hard. Like really hard.“Bleeding hell!” I cursed, stepping back to see what I ran into and it turned out to be who I ran into.Kaine.“For a Luna, you have a lot of foul words in
