Karen’s POV

Days blurred together in the rogues’ den. Every sunrise and sunset felt the same dark, suffocating, hopeless.

If I wasn’t mistaken, I might have stayed here for five days or more.

They gave me wolfsbane every single day sometimes through a syringe, sometimes hidden in the food they shoved at me. Each swallow burned, each dose gnawed at my strength, and with every passing hour, I could feel my wolf slipping further away. Her voice grew faint, her energy dimming, until I feared one day I’d call for her and she wouldn’t answer at all.

But if I was dying, then I refused to die quietly.

The rogues thought they were clever, leaving behind their empty syringe after one of the injections, mocking me with it as they laughed. But to me, it was something else a chance.

The next morning, when one of them came with the food tray, I forced a weak smile and rattled the chains dramatically. “You don’t need to bother,” I croaked, nodding toward the syringe still lying in the corner. “They

    Zaiden POV “Okay, I understand,” Eryx said calmly.“Fine,” the priestess replied. She joined both hands together and began to chant words only she understood. Almost immediately, Eryx groaned. Luckily, the priestess had placed a towel in his mouth to stop him from screaming.After a while, it became clear that the bond had been severed. Sweat rolled down both their foreheads, and they were breathing heavily. The priestess then instructed them to separate their hands.Eryx collapsed to the ground with a heavy thud.I gasped and rushed forward to help him, but the priestess stopped me.“Leave him,” she said firmly. “This is normal. The separation is temporary, but I advise you to bring a healer to examine him and ensure he’s strong enough to embark on the journey. Otherwise, he may not survive the road.”We carried him to the bed.A few minutes later, Maureen entered the library.“Good day, Alphas,” she greeted, bowing.“Good day, Maureen,” I replied with a smile.“You look quite vibra

    “Umm…” I hummed.“You’re making me scared, Zaiden. Say something,” I half-screamed. He chuckled softly.“It’s nothing too serious, just that I was attacked by rogues on my way here. But I’m fine now,” he said quickly.“Oh my goodness,” I cried out. “What happened? Did you get hurt? What did they do to you?” I asked all at once, hot tears sliding down my cheeks.“My little Luna, trust me, I’m fine, perfectly healed, even.”“When did this happen?” I asked.“On the day I came back,” he answered.“Was that the reason I didn’t receive any calls from you until days later?”“Truthfully, yes,” he said, letting out a breath like he’d been holding it in for too long.“Why didn’t you tell me?” I asked quietly.“I didn’t want to make you worry,” he replied.I took a deep breath. “I’ll call you back.”“Are you pissed at me?” he asked, fear flickering in his eyes.“I’m not.”“Come on, I’m sorry I didn’t tell you earlier.”“That’s no problem. I promise I’m not angry.”“Where are you going?” he asked

    Zaiden POV *At Xavier's Office*“Eryx take a seat," Xavier said. “Actually this would take a lot to sacrifice and I hope you are ready for that." “Yes, Alpha, I am." Eryx responded“Ok, First of all, I'm sure you've known about the frequent attacks from the rogues in our pack this past few weeks." Xavier said.“I have." Eryx answered.“Umm..," I could feel Xavier struggling to tell him, I chuckled inwardly.“This requires you sever your bond with the pack and you should be able to locate the rogues and cunningly join them, but your bond with the pack will be severed temporarily, so nothing to worry about.” Xavier explained as he nodded." Would you be able to do that?” He asked Eryx." Yes I can.” He answered cooly."Alright.” "So Alpha Zaiden,” he called as I turned to him. "When are we making a move?” He asked. "Tomorrow, we shouldn't waste more time.” I responded.“Fine,Eryx, is that okay with you?" He asked.“Sure." Eryx answered.*****“I heard about Karen's involvement with

    Zaiden POVThe next day after breakfast, Xavier had gone to the field where his warriors normally stayed for sparring in the morning.“Alphas,” they chorused, bowing down.I was sure that the Alpha pheromones that were coming out of Xavier and I already did the talking.“Today,” he said, his voice echoing. I could see the warriors baring their necks in submission. I hadn’t really seen this side of Xavier since I had arrived. I smirked. Interesting, I thought.“We’ll need volunteers for us to plan our attacks on the rogues. As you all know, the frequent rogue attack has been really concerning, even for the safety of the pack, and I have taken a bold step to ally with the Alpha of the Sunrise Pack, Alpha Zaiden. So we’ll need a warrior to get leads on how they plan their next attack and to get information on who is behind all of these attacks—I mean the real people behind these attacks apart from the rogues. We need volunteers to spy on them. The rest of the details would be discussed i

    Zaiden POVThe next day, I already felt stronger than before, with Maureen always checking up on me, my recovery rate was quick.Adrian and I were called for breakfast. We got to the table and saw Xavier sitting with his ‘Luna’ and two other people by his side. I would have easily guessed that they were his Beta and Gamma; and the rest of the men? Looking like he had visitors, I thought.Xavier flashed me a smile and introduced each of them to me.“Alpha Zaiden,” he called. “Meet my Beta and Gamma.” He said, pointing at the two people by his side. I guess my instincts were right then, I thought.“Hello,” I said.“Good day, Alpha,” they said, bowing. I just nodded.Xavier then proceeded to introduce the remaining men seated around the table.“This is Alpha Damon, Wayne, and Salvatore,” Xavier continued. “Alphas of the Eastern Region. And these,” he added, gesturing to us, “are Zaiden and his Advisor, Adrian.”“Hello Alphas,” Adrian said politely, bowing once more. I simply nodded to ac

    Zaiden POV On the evening of that day, the air in Blue Moon Pack was cooler than I expected And after spending almost the entire day lying down or pretending not to be in pain, there was no way I would let anyone tag me as a weak Alpha. Never. Not even when my ribs still ached with every damn step.Adrian had been pacing around the room since sunset, glancing at me like he was waiting for me to collapse again.“We’re going out,” I said, tying the last strap of my dark leather wrist guard.He raised a brow. “Out… where? You can barely stand.”“I can stand,” I growled and straightened immediately, ignoring the sudden sting in my side. “And I need the pack to see I can stand.”Adrian exhaled like he already knew arguing was pointless. “Fine. But if you fall, I'll drag you back myself.”I smirked. “You’ll try.”I pulled on a black long-sleeved shirt simple but fitted enough to outline my shoulders and dark pants that made moving easier. A deep hooded jacket completed it, the kind that m
