MasukBELISARAāS POVTorinās hands suddenly lost their crushing grip on my shoulders. He let go of me, stepping three paces back as if the very touch of my skin had burned him. "Prince Evander?" The name left Torinās mouth in a disbelieving whisper, his lips curling into a bitter scowl. "You brought another manās child to my pack?!""NoāYes. . . I meanā" I stammered for words and Torin punched a fist straight into the wall, breaking a log in half. "You tricked me!" He roared. "You used me!""I didn't know, I swear to the Moon Goddess, I didn't know I was pregnant!" I clutched my trembling hands over the ringing in my ears. But Torinās voice slammed into the depths of my soul. "You slept with the future King of Wolf Capital, and ran away with his Silvermoon heir!" Torin paced the wooden cabin like a caged predator. "It was just one night!" I collapsed to my knees. "It was just one night!" "I donāt care! Do you have any idea what you've done?! This could bring war upon Winterfell!""I
BELISARAāS POV I sat on the edge of Torin's bed, and twisted the hem of my tunic in my trembling fingers. 'You shouldāve told me sooner' I communicated with my Golden Wolf. 'I didnāt know you were unaware' She said back to me. 'I was trapped in the dark for weeks, and I canāt remember everything before I was freed' 'But after you were freed, you knew!' I clenched my skirt in my fist. 'Yes. . .' 'Everyday since those rogue wolves attacked us, Iāve been training fiercely like a soldier but you never thought to tell me to slow down. . . what if I mistakenly hurt my baby during sparring?" My wolf remained quiet, as if sensing the storm about to break over our heads. Torin stood on the opposite side of the wooden cabin and hadn't spoken a single word since he carried me back to the village. His back was turned to me, and he stared at the dim fire in the stone hearth. He had stripped away his heavy iron sword and his leather vest, leaving only his dark shirt, but his shoulders
BELISARA'S POV "We're going to need a much bigger barns and silos to store our harvest this year," Saski said as we walked along the eastern ridge. "I'll inform the builders to get the barn and silo ready before the harvest season." Torin replied to Saski, keeping his gaze on the path ahead. Saski penned down numbers inside her ledger, her blue eyes gleaming with happiness. "We've been having a lot more food ever since the mad rogues were slaughtered and there isn't a rogue brave enough to steal our produce again." "All thanks to Belisara." Beta Cedwin said and I instantly blushed to a bright red. "It's been almost a week but everyone still keep praising me." I muttered and tucked tendrils of gold hair behind my ear. "Even after a century to come, Winterfell won't stop singing your praise." Saski intertwined her arm with mine as we strolled behind Torin and Beta Cedwin. "Mark this perimeter," Torin growled softly, his deep voice dropping to a vibration that always weakened my k
BELISARAāS POV 'Wake up' I heard a voice and my eyes opened before my mind could even catch up. "Where am I?" I glanced around the unfamiliar cabin as sunlight spilled across the floorboards. I was laying naked on a woolen blanket and the biting cold that usually froze over my chest was strangely gone. 'We are free, Belisara' The same resonant voice echoed behind my ribs. 'You have your Golden Wolf now' Golden Wolf? My brows furrowed in confusion, and suddenly all yesterday's memories flooded into my mind. Winterfell was attacked. I ran to the mountains to find Torin. I was mauled by a rogue and then I shifted into my Golden Wolf. "My wolf!" I quickly sat upright. "Are youāAre you real?!" 'You know you don't need to shout out loud for me to hear you' My wolf sighed. 'Really?!' I responded back to her in my head, 'I didn't know that was possible! How is this even happening?!' I wrapped the blanket around my bare body. 'You were never wolfless, Belisara.' 'But I
TORINāS POVI hoisted Belisara on my back and hastened out the mountain, ignoring the grinding pain in my broken ribs. "Itās okay, weāre almost there." I said as golden fur rapidly bursted out her skin.She was mid-shift and her wolf was fighting its way to the surface.Barging into the gates of Winterfell, the chaotic screams turned to clamorous jubilations as the villagers rushed toward me."Alpha Torin is alive!" A woman shouted in joy."Where are the other soldiers?" Another asked."Whatās happening to the girl?" More children gathered around. "Torin!" Saski raced down the watchtower and leaped onto my body. "Youāre alive! Oh, thank Goddess!""Belisaraās about to shift!" I panted heavily and marched straight to my private cabin, my arms tightening around Belisaraās trembling body."Shift? What do you mean shift?!" She followed behind me. "She said she was wolfless!""Saski, I donāt know! She's going through pains right now. The shift is tearing her apart. I need anything to ease
BELISARAāS POVHold on, Torin. Please hold on.I raced through the frozen mountain trail of the eastern border. The frigid winter wind sliced at my face, but I didn't care about the frostbite. All I cared about was finding Torin.Storming out of the treeline and into the valley, my horse came to a force halt as I pulled on the reins."Oh no. . ." I struggled to breathe, as I stared at the hastily sight in front of me. The valley was a slaughterhouse as mad rogues and Winterfell soldiers scattered lifeless on the ground, their mangled bodies covered in blood.Up ahead the mountain valley, a horde of rogue wolves outnumbered Winterfell soldiers ten to one.The rogues were so many but the soldiers stood and fought a losing battle.Climbing down my horse, I rushed in the valley and immediately sighted Torinās frame. He was fighting in his human form, his sword slashing three rogues at once.His brown hair was matted with blood, and the pale scar over his right eye was covered in fresh c
