‘We’. Was that what we were now? A team?

I was very aware of the fact that I was alone with him once again, but this time it was different. I wasn’t under the Bishopp’s protection. Alpha Cassian had acquired the right to do with me as he pleased, and that scared me way more than I’d like to even acknowledge.

“How did you do it—with the ring?” If I’d been with him earlier, I might have deduced he’d snuck the ring into my dress, but our last meeting had been three days ago, meaning there was no

  • The Alpha's Contract Mistress   Epilogue

    ELOISE’S POV I should have died. And yet somehow I didn’t. Being alive felt like going against nature itself, and yet I couldn’t be more grateful. Everyone had questions. Like how exactly we’d won the war when all the odds had been against us. But beyond their curiosity, everyone was simply happy to be alive. The injured were being moved to the healing quarters. Among them was Katalier. She was going to survive. I knew that. Jefferson was covered in bruises, but he was alive, and that was what mattered. “You are a miracle, Eloise,” Cassian said to me. But I had no idea what he meant. I could only remember dying in his arms, and now I was alive, with not a single bruise on me. We’d lost men. Brave men who’d fought beside us, men whose names would be remembered forever. But it was over. We’d won. …TWO WEEKS LATER… “Do you, Jefferson Scott, accept Lilith Andrews to be your lawfully wedded wife?” “I do,” Jefferson said. “And do you, Lilith Andrews, accept Jefferson Scott

    GIDEON’S POV Katalier and I fought side by side. But no matter how many we killed, there were always more.My hands trembled with effort as I tore off the head of another Ghammi with an axe I’d taken from a dead soldier. Bodies piled on the ground beneath me, most belonging to the Ghammis, but I could still spot some of our fallen soldiers.“There are too many,” Katalier said through the mind link, and I didn’t miss the fear in her voice.“We’re in this together, okay?”“Okay,” she responded as they closed in on us.I’d lost my weapon, and I knew it was just a matter of time before they closed in on us. I ripped off the head of one that had been about to attack Katalier from behind.I threw the last grenade at one heading my way, and it blew up.Kate let out a cry when one bit into her skin, ripping out flesh.I tore it off her, but another one grabbed me by the neck.“Gideon!” Kate cried out.I struggled to free myself from them, but I was helpless.But then...They dissolved into

    ELOISE’S POVI could hear Cassian's voice, assuring me I had nothing to fear, even as the darkness took over.But then I opened my eyes, and the pain was completely gone. I was in the cathedral once again—the same one from my dream. Just like the last time I’d been here, the same lyric-less song was being sung by the most beautiful voice I’d ever heard. I followed the sound, but the closer I got, the more I realized it wasn’t just a melody, but a song sung in a language I’d never heard before.I already knew the face behind the melody, and yet I found myself curious to see her once again.I stepped in, and there she was, still in those huge golden chains. There was something different about her. It was how translucent she seemed, almost like she was fading away.“Why have you come?” she asked, stopping the music.“I don’t know.”“But you do. Anyone who comes here wants something.”Flashes of memories passed through my mind. The pain in Cassian's eyes as he watched me bleed to my death

    ELOISE’S POVFrom the balcony, I watched the horror that had befallen our pack. I could hear the screams even from up here. This had been what Octavia had been trying to warn me about. I should have found Seraphina when I had the chance. Now, it was too late.Cassian had made me promise him I’d stay away from it all, but I couldn’t stay here and do nothing while I watched my people die. I had to do something.It’s time, I heard the voice in my head. It was my wolf’s.You must go find Cassian. He is in danger. You must go now, or he’ll die.I stared down from the balcony, and without a second thought, I leaped.CASSIAN’S POVI was on the floor, waves of pain running through me. Above me was Severus—a member of the pack’s council who’d also been turned into a Ghammi, yet somehow, he still retained his powers.My attention had been on Darth, and I hadn’t seen him coming. Not until I felt my windpipe close in on itself, leaving me suffocating even in the presence of air.I’d let go of the

    Darth watched the creatures in horror.“You called those mindless creatures ‘the future’?” I questioned, not bothering to conceal the mockery in my tone. “They are fools—no match for us.” I took a step forward. “So, tell me, what happens now?”He burst into laughter.“You really think that’s all I have in store for you?” he asked, glee written across his face.There was a loud noise from inside the pack. Gunshots echoed, and even more followed.“They might not be as powerful as your men, but for every one of your soldiers, I have five.”“They’ve broken into the pack!” a commander called.“Everyone, return to the pack!” I ordered, and the soldiers all ran toward it.From every corner, I could see more Ghammis. They were in their thousands, and I realized I had truly underestimated Darth. The sorcerer lifted his staff, stretched it forward, and they all followed his lead.“Set off the explosives, now!” I ordered.No sooner had I given the order than the explosives we’d buried beneath th

    CASSIAN’S POVThe bell had gone off, and that could only mean one thing. Darth was here.“You said they wouldn’t be here until a week,” Eloise said.“We must have calculated wrong,” I said, another conclusion could be Darth had known of the spies I’d sent and had misled them, just so he could meet us unprepared. While there were a lot we hadn’t done, we were far from unprepared.Lucus and Layla had been taken to the pack’s strong hold to be watched over by the midwives. And that left Eloise. If only she’d agreed to go with the midwives.“I’m coming with you.”“No, you’re not.” I said to her, but she ignored that, going onto get dressed.“If you could be less stubborn, you’d realize you need me. I am stronger than you think, I can help you.”I had no doubt she was. She was afterall a direct descendant of the moon, but that changed nothing. I couldn’t go into war, with the thought that she would be there, open and unprotected. “You must stay here—or you could join the midwives.”“I am

    Two Years and Five Months Later (Present Day.)He’d called me by name. The stranger who I was quite sure I’d never met before knew my name. More than that, he knew exactly who I was.Two years, that's how long I’d spent learning how to live like a ‘ghost’. I'd taken all the right steps, even going

    I blinked against the bright white lights, temporarily blinded by it. Finally my eyes adjusted to the brightness. I was in a different ward, this one was smaller, emptier.I tried seating up, only to notice the tubes connected to my body. I pulled them out, before staggering to my feet. The room s

    ‘What does death feel like?’ I’d asked my mother many years ago when I was no more than a girl. She’d been startled by the question; her response came a while later. ‘Freedom,’ she’d finally answered, ‘Death is freedom because it takes away all your worries and fears.’Turns out that was a lie.“She

Would this have been easier if I came in here prepared? I had no answer to that question because right now, pain was all I fel
