LOGINDamion’s POVThe night didn’t end there, it actually lingered.And somewhere in between the silence of the corridors and the echo of my own footsteps, I knew that exactly what I wanted was about to begin. I stood by the window in my chamber, fingers resting against the cold marble, my gaze lost in the darkness that swallowed the pack house, and a faint smirk tugged at my lips.“Too late for that,” I muttered under my breath.Because what had been done had been done perfectly.The poison wasn’t meant to kill her.I wasn’t a fool to ever want to kill her.At least her kids needed her alive, all I wanted was her powers. The poision I had earlier put in her meal was to weaken her. To make her unable to use the power even though she possessed it.That way, she'd be convinced to lend it to me, so I'd fight for the entire werewolves at the inauguration. And when I found out that it was already working, my joy knew no bound.A sharp knock came at my door.My lips curled slowly, expecting w
"All we need is strategy, my love. Strategy and sanity will be back to the wolves."Silence sliced between us, calmly. And for a moment, I thought she was giving it a thought, but quickly, she scoffed and turned to face the bed."That's too far, Damion. You should know too. My powers are not, and will never be negotiateable."She said, She sat on the bed, setting her feet quickly on it.I could tell it was a matter of time before she dismissed me, and that caused my ego to bruise the most.I knew Elara wouldn't agree. One thing I hated about her. Her strictness caused less help than it had ever helped."We'll call it a night, Alpha."She finally said, and laid on the bed, covering herself with a duvet.I nodded without saying a word.I got out of her solar and headed straight to my chamber, as the thoughts of what next line of action to take roamed my mind."The only way to convince Elara currently is to weaken her"I said to myself.That way she might easily let go of the power with
Damion’s POVThe corridor was quieter than usual.Almost like the walls themselves were holding their breath.I paused outside Elara’s door, flexing my fingers before pushing it open without knocking.She was there.Standing before the mirror.Slipping into a silk night dress that clung to her skin like it had been made for her alone.And for a second, I just stood there, watching.Elara didn’t turn immediately, but I knew she could tell I was standing there.“You’ve started walking into my room unannounced now?” she said, her voice calm, almost distant.I shut the door behind me slowly.“If I knocked, you might not let me in.”That made her glance at me through the mirror.Her eyes held my gaze for a while before she finally broke off.I stepped closer, my gaze trailing over her.“You look…” I started, my voice dipping, “like trouble.”A faint smile tugged at her lips, but it didn’t stay.I reached for her waist, pulling her gently toward me, my lips brushing just below her ear.“You
"You need to think up something. Won't you?" She asked.I went into my deeper thoughts, thinking through what we could possibly say to Elara to make her release her powers, and then boom, that was when it finally clicked.I looked at Chrysantha, a cocky smile escaping my lips."Elara would kill to protect the wolves. She's equally willing to put her life at risk for their sake. I think it's the best bet currently.""Best bet by telling her what?"Crysantha cuts in immediately."I cleared my throat, this time sitting up to properly face her."She told me lately that we have work to do, and I suspect it's related to fighting Saleen and making the wolves believe Saleen is a bad person."A scowl surfaced on Chrysantha's face."Saleen shouldn't be toyed with."She shot, and I nodded."She shouldn't be, that is why I'll make Elara think I'm on her side."I stated."You know, all these while I've always made her believe I was sitting on the fence concerning this situation of Saleen and the w
Damion's POV "You know fully well that you shouldn't be here."I shot at Chrysantha.I'd gone into the restroom and someone grabbed me from the back, her hands caresssing my skin.At first, I thought it was my Luna, but I didn't know her to be someone that sexually expressive. And again, the scent wasn't hers.The unique vanilla perfume struck my nose instantly, and in a split second, I jerked back to see Chrysantha, giggling at me."My Luna is back!"I shot at her and stormed back to the chamber, expecting her to see the this was the wrong time to be here, but that wasn't the case.Instead, she crossed her hands over her chest, and scoffed."My Alpha is back as well. So it's no news.""Then why are you here?"I snapped, and I noticed she'd startled. "What do you mean by that? Are you tired of me already? You haven't gotten me pregnant have you?""That's not the point Crysantha. Elara is here and she can walk in here any time."I said, frustration rising in my voice, and suddenly s
ElaraThe cool breeze hit my face like a blade, and somewhere in my heart tugged.I hadn't expected coming back home to have this amount of nostalgic effect on me.Anna and I had just gotten off the car, and I stood at the entrance of the nursery, eyes glued and mind focused on just one thing, my babies. The only reason why I breathe now. The only reason why I'm still sane after everything I'd been through. My heart soared and my feet were as swift as they could ever be, all eager to see my precious children. When I got to the nursery, the workers quickly identified me as their Luna, and soon, she quickly prostrated in reverence. I raised a hand, acknowledging her. "Where are my children?"I asked, but she'd stared at me in confusion "The Alpha took them some weeks again, I...,""The Alpha did what?"I asked as painic began to rise in me."He took them ma.""To where!?" I snapped before I knew it.I was finding it hard to control my panic now. Thoes children were my life, my jo
Henry's POV A knock came very early the next morning as I was fastening my vambrace.Th sharp, hurried tap on the door immediately put every nerve in my body on alert. "Enter", I called out.My guards stepped in, bowed stiffly, then straightened with visible unease. "Your majesty...Luna Chrysanth
Henry's POV I should've walked away.I should've just dismissed this girl...Zara. But the moment I saw her, something in my chest pulled like a thread being yanked tight. So here we were, right in the woods and moving towards the ridge that lay ahead.For a heartbeat, the very moment I saw her, I
Elara's POV It took me almost thirty minutes to dress up, tie a scarf over my hair and come outside.The courtyard was buzzing with shouts, hammering, and carts rolling over the pebble pathway.The pack soldiers were training, and the barracks were being reinforced. They were all trying yet I sens
“Rest, My Lady”Anna’s voice broke into my thoughts before I could say another word.“My lady, you need to rest,” she said softly, her tone firm but gentle like she was speaking to a child. “You’ve been through too much. Maybe that’s why your hair is acting strange. Stress can do a lot to the body
