FAZER LOGINI spun to the direction where I perceived the scent the most, but I didn't see who I expected. Instead, Alpha Shawn was standing by the waterside, emitting the same scent Henry would if he were the one.My stomach churned further, and this time, I practically held myself back from jumping on him.My wolf, Millicent, giggled in excitement and ran all over me.Alpha Shawn was shirtless, I freaked out when I noticed that. I was freezing, but there he was, completely shirtless."Hey..." he said as soon as he sighted me. I saw his face tense slightly."We're going to give it our best shot, okay?" he said, toying with a pendant on his neck.His voice sounded calm and reassuring. I nodded, feeling grateful that he was looking out for me, but that wasn't the case at this point.I was literally losing my mind."Where is he?"I muttered, making sure I wasn't hallucinating."Who?"He asked, his eyes narrowing as he spun around, searching for someone."He... Henry?""Central Pole 2?"He raised h
We drove the whole long journey to the central pole, my entire being burning with exhaustion.It was a long and uncomfortable journey, worsened by the fact that my babies were not here with me.I missed them to pieces. I couldn't help it. I needed to heal the werewolf race first.Anna was seated beside me in the back seat of the Mercedes. All through the journey, she'd occasionally rub my palm, trying to calm my nerves.I saw the hope on her face, her assurance that everything would be fine.Anna and I took our own vehicle, driven by one of the palace guards, while Alpha Shawn took his own car, also driven by one of his palace guards.The rest of the medical team occupied two other cars.Tall pine trees stood high, and the smell of oak and the cold wind suddenly filled the air.Sam, our driver, turned to hand me a jacket."We're quickly approaching Central Pole 1, my lady. Please wear this. The temperature will drop drastically any moment from now."He said, handing me the jacket."I'
Elara’s POVNoon came, and it was time for my team and me to leave for Central Pole 2.The air was heavy with humidity, the scent of vanilla from the nearby palace bakery filling it richly.Since we would be away for a long time without knowing when we’d return to the palace, Anna had ordered the kitchen and bakery to stuff our bags with food items: bread, water, drinks, and many other supplies.The Central Pole was in the cold region, a land located in Ontario, far to the north.It belonged collectively to the seven packs of the werewolf race. History had it that members of the older generations gathered there every full moon for celebrations.But that was no longer the case.Now, each pack observed the full moon within their own territories, and the Central Pole had remained largely unused for years."Thank you, Anna," I said as she moved to load the supplies into the car boot.She was dressed in a long black gown that flowed to the ground, her dark hair cascading over her shoulder
I ran to the corner of my solar, where a tall silver-white drawer stood.I pulled it open, taking out the potion from within.I was about to uncork it and release it into the wind when a metallic blade pressed against my neck, its sharp luminance striking my eyes."A charm sword?"I croaked, unable to believe what I was seeing.How on earth does he have that in his possession?Damion’s eyes glinted, and that smirk, gosh, I hated it with everything in me spread across his lips again.Back in the day, nearly two hundred years ago, stories told that charm swords were worn as amulets by warriors.They were instruments of war and destruction, crafted so they could be worn like bangles, undetectable to the ordinary eye.In those days, warriors hid them beneath their amulets. And what made them dangerous?They left no visible mark on their victims.That was how they earned their name charm swords.My eyes nearly rolled to the back of my head.The swords were banned after wolves who were not
Chrysantha’s POV"Did your Luna send you to come and warn me?"My voice roared through the sophisticated solar, so forceful that even the royal couches seemed to vibrate beneath it.Damion, the Alpha of Moon Shield, was seated at the far end of the room. His eyes held something beyond terror, his jaw tightening into a long, thin line.His brows arched dangerously, his gaze fixed on me.He adjusted his brown coat, leaning forward as though that alone would make me tremble."That still doesn't answer my question, Chrysantha!"He roared, and something in me prickled with irritation.I tightened my palm into a hard fist, pressing it against the couch handle where it rested.My black robe spilled onto the floor, my left leg crossed over the right.I slowly placed it back on the ground, leaning forward. My eyes now burned with something terrible, and all I wanted was to lunge at him and rip his throat out."Her Royalty!" I growled, my throat tightening. "That is how you address me."It was
I walzed into the council meeting, eyes red with rage and with the speed of an injured cat.Damian was seated with Henry and the other members of the council cabinet. The air froze as I stepped in, followed by an awl silence."Your arrival is apt my Queen, please have a seat."Damian said calmly and now I had to roll my eyes back into my skull to understand what was happening. The Pack's enemy is seated here comfortably with the pack's alpha and the members of the council and nobody is threatened?"Okay...let me get this straight." I scanned the room, trying to make sense of the whole arrangement. "He's here for?"I turned to Damion who seemed to be in the best position to give me the response I see"He needs our help, my love.. His pack is affected as well. In fact he lost 34 wolves this morning."Damion stated like he was reading a newscast rather than stating a very painful situation. My heart was dampened by the news of the death of the wolves, but that wasn't enough to make me
Chrysantha's POV The night air was damp, and heavy with the scent of rain-soaked earth. I slipped out of the packhouse long after the halls had gone quiet, and my cloak was pulled tight around my shoulders. Every step away from Henry’s chambers felt like a betrayal, but also a liberation.He had c
Elara's pov He was asking so much thought provoking questions that I badly wanted to hit him to stop any more words from spewing out of his lips. I had no strength inside of me to even reason properly, talk more of hitting Henry so hard, it wouldn't be enough to get him to stop talking.I wouldn'
Elara's POV Damion had ordered my personal maids not to leave my side. I understood his motive behind not allowing me out of their sight. He also instructed guards to mount my front door and always inform him about my whereabouts. The only place I had been to was the palace garden, taking a stro
Elara's pov The next time I woke up, I felt an immense pain in my head. My whole body ached like I had wrestled with a thousand men. Battling to regain my freedom was enough of a struggle to throw me off momentum. I'd never felt weak like this in a long time. The only time I had was when Dimitri
