MasukBella’s POVAidan raised his massive wolf head and let out a deafening roar. Everyone present stared at him in shock and trembled with fear. He was enormous. Standing before him, we looked like nothing more than a buffet waiting to be devoured. And he was displaying three hundred percent of the intimidation and dominance that came from Haydn’s status as the King of Werewolves. He was the only king on this battlefield, and he would be the only winner.Aidan took massive strides toward Barnett, having already chosen him as his first target.Barnett gripped his sword, the veins on the back of his hand bulging as he trembled with fear. How was he supposed to fight a terrifying creature whose wolf form was three times larger than his own? He had stormed into the castle tonight full of confidence, believing he could take back everything he had lost. But now, it seemed his plan was impossible.“Big dog, I’m not afraid of you. Come!” Barnett barked. He raised his sword and charged, aiming str
Bella’s POVMy decision was met with unanimous opposition.“We can’t let you go out there and put yourself in danger.”“We can’t lose you.”“Luna, please stay here.”“Haydn needs me,” I said quietly. “The Moon Goddess is guiding me to my mate. I can’t let him face this alone.”I knew it was dangerous. But I also believed the Moon Goddess would never lead me astray. The urge to go to Haydn was growing stronger by the minute, becoming impossible to ignore.April remained silent, but I knew she agreed with me. We would stand beside our mate. We would face danger together.Mia gripped my hand tightly. She realized I was serious.That I wasn’t going to change my mind.In the werewolf world, mates were sacred. True mates never abandoned one another.“Then let me come with you,” Mia said, wiping away her tears. “I’ll help you find the King.”“I will, too.”“Me too, Luna.”“I’m coming with you.”Most of them were Omegas. Servants. Not warriors.That was exactly why I had gathered them here in
Bella’s POVTonight was the full moon.The night Haydn’s curse would be at its strongest.He hadn’t appeared once all day. He had remained in the dungeon from sunrise until now.Curled up in bed, I tossed and turned restlessly. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t sleep.A deep sense of unease lingered in my chest, refusing to let me find peace.My wolf, April, was restless too. I could feel her pacing endlessly inside my mind.“I want to see Haydn,” I broke the silence first.“It’ll be dangerous,” April replied immediately.“But I’m worried about him.”I climbed out of bed and pulled back the curtains. An impossibly bright full moon hung in the night sky.Would Haydn make it through tonight?I didn’t know.But I was sure about one thing.He needed his mate beside him.As I anxiously paced across the room, I noticed the book Haydn had left for me on the bedside table. I picked it up and hugged it against my chest.Somehow, it felt like holding a small piece of him.“Wait,” April sud
Bella’s POVI woke from a peaceful sleep wrapped in a strange sense of comfort.The gentle morning sunlight filtered through the windows, bathing the room in a soft golden glow. Everything felt warm, quiet, and safe.Still half asleep, I listened to the steady rhythm of my babies’ heartbeats and counted them one by one.They were strong and healthy.And somehow, in that hazy moment between sleep and wakefulness, I could almost feel their emotions.They were happy.Happy that I was paying attention to them.“Mommy loves you, little ones,” I whispered, resting a hand on my stomach. I tried to send that feeling of love to them. In return, I could almost imagine them laughing happily.A few moments later, the maids knocked softly and entered the room.They helped me get ready for the day and brought me a delicious breakfast. They were always thoughtful and attentive, taking excellent care of me.“Luna,” Mia said after breakfast, “there are swans on the lake west of the palace. Would you l
Olivia’s POV“It’s nice to see you’re still an asshole, Father.” I looked at Alpha Henry with open mockery.My bastard of a father.Alpha Henry had always seemed like a giant, an unbeatable force, in my eyes when I was growing up. He could do whatever he wanted to me. Even though I was his daughter, he showed me no mercy.He beat me, humiliated me, pulled my hair, and slapped me across the face. There was a time when, after drinking himself into a rage, he even left a ten-centimeter gash across my abdomen. He abandoned me in a pool of blood and left me there to die, as if he expected me to meet my mother in hell.I had no dignity in this pack. Everyone had witnessed those humiliating moments.The only time he had ever been gentle with me was one evening when he took out an old photograph of my mother and told me stories about her. That night, we even had dinner together.I thought he had changed.I thought he had finally realized that I was his only daughter and started acting like a
