Mag-log inNicolaeA powerful storm begins raging across the entire valley. Still in the middle of the forest, I raise my gaze to the sky as a terrible feeling washes over me.I don't like this. I have a feeling that something really bad is about to happen."Nicolae?" Alexander asks, pulling me out of my thoughts."I have to return to the Blackwood mansion. Something terrible is happening. I need to go back.""All right, I'll go with you. Let's check this last hiding place first, and then I'll personally let you return to the pack.""But..." I try to refuse."I'm asking you, Nicolae. Finding Mary is our priority. We won't have a safe life unless she's executed," Alexander insists.Having to admit that he's right, I let out a long, exasperated sigh, left with no choice but to continue leading Alexander and two other council wolves through the trees.This forest is full of memories. I grew up here with my mother and father. Like many families, we have our secrets. In the Moonridge family's case, w
LilyStanding in the middle of the storm, which is growing stronger by the minute, I try to steel myself as I slowly advance toward Mary, holding my arms out in front of me as if attempting to create a barrier between her and my son.Mary is obviously displeased by my attempt to save my baby. She lets out a warning growl and advances as well, in such a terrifying manner that I tremble for a moment. She looks like a wild animal about to attack."Don't think I'm going to back down. I'll fight you until the very end, with everything I've got if necessary. Not in your wildest dreams will I let you get near my baby. You're not taking my son away from me," I say firmly.Mary's teeth, in her wolf form, become even sharper, as if she's mocking me."You took everything away from me once: my mother, my family, even my identity as a wolf. I won't let you take my son away from me! You're not going to kill him like you killed my mother!" I scream furiously.Annabeth... She will always be an open w
LilyLooking toward the door with difficulty, I struggle to make out what's happening in the darkness. However, when I finally manage to understand the situation, a gasp of surprise escapes my lips."Nina?" I ask, stunned.Nicolae's younger sister doesn't respond. She lets out a painful groan and falls to the floor, allowing the silhouette of a woman to enter the room. I begin trembling in panic when I recognize her."Mary... What did you do?" I ask, staring at the scene.Another flash of lightning illuminates the room through the windows, as if we were in some damn horror movie. It allows me to see Nina lying on the floor, almost unconscious after being stabbed by her own mother in the upper abdomen, near her chest. Blood keeps pouring from her wound without stopping."What did you do?" I repeat, looking at Nina in a panic. "Nina! We need help!""You simply can't stay out of trouble, can you?" Mary asks in a hoarse voice, slowly approaching me.This refined woman, who once had everyt
LilyI shift uncomfortably in bed, feeling a horrible pain in my lower abdomen, so painful that I don't even know how to describe it. It's so intense that it manages to wake me up.Opening my eyes, I find myself staring at the familiar ceiling of my room in the Blackwood family mansion. When did I get here?The last thing I remember is finding Nicolae, then getting into Alexander's car and... Everything becomes blurry in my mind.Feeling confused, I bring one of my hands to my abdomen, feeling how flat and empty it is, with no trace of my baby."My baby..." I whisper hoarsely."Lily?"Barely able to react after such a troubled sleep, I turn my head and find Nina, Nicolae's younger sister, staring at me in surprise."You're awake! Can you hear me? Are you okay?" Nina asks with great concern."My son... Where is he?" I repeat anxiously."Calm down, Lily. He's right here beside you. Your baby is here."Turning my head slightly, I see a tiny baby wrapped in blue blankets, sleeping peacefu
NicolaeLooking at my son affectionately, I gently caress his face, watching him sleep peacefully.Lily is unconscious beside him in the bed. I was told she lost a lot of blood and might never be able to get pregnant again. However, I feel fortunate that she's still breathing, trusting in the pack doctors' abilities to save her.I don't know how long I stayed beside my Luna and our son in that bed. I remained absorbed in their presence, wishing Lily would wake up at any moment so she could meet our baby and love him as much as I do.So much time has passed that when we're finally interrupted, darkness has already fallen outside the bedroom windows.“Alpha Moonridge, I'm sorry to disturb you,” one of the Blackwood family employees says. “There are people who have asked to see you.”“I'm busy. I won't see anyone,” I reply, returning to caressing my baby's cheeks.“It's Alpha Richter. He's requesting an audience with you immediately.”I let out an exasperated sigh. In the past, I could a
NicolaeI went blank when I heard the doctor's words. In bewilderment, I stared at Lily, who was completely unconscious on the bed, while blood continued to stain the sheets.“Alpha Moonridge?” the doctor insisted.“Please save my Luna...” I begged, my voice choked with pain.I couldn't bear everything that was happening. Seeing my Lily in such a deplorable state, looking so terrible, only made me tremble and feel frustrated by my own incompetence. I couldn't bear the thought of losing my Luna like this.Since there was nothing I could really do to help with the situation, I knelt beside Lily's bed and took her hand. Meanwhile, the doctor and the few servants in the mansion didn't waste a single second. They moved quickly around the bed, bringing hot water and the instruments the doctor needed as he prepared to bring our son into the world.“I need more water... No, more towels! I need them now!” the doctor demanded, speaking rapidly.Watching everything without knowing what to do or
