*LUNA TESSA’S POV*

I was in the woods. It was late at night, and a strange mist had settled, making it hard to see even a short distance ahead. An uneasy chill settled over me as I searched for a way out, but every turn only seemed to lead me deeper into the woods.

I came to a stop when I heard the snap of a twig behind me.

Slowly, I turned around.

It was a wolf, a dark brown wolf with glowing yellow eyes.

It snarled at me, exposing its sharp fangs and I slowly backed away, panic rising in my chest.

And then, I ran.

I ran through the endless stream of trees; I could feel it gaining on me. Could almost feel its breath against my back.

I didn’t see the fallen log until it caught my foot, sending me crashing to the ground.

The wolf had caught up with me, sniffing me. I scrabbled backwards across the dirt. My chest heaved, my breathing ragged.

I opened my mouth to beg, but before a word escaped, it attacked, its jaws clamping down on my arm and I screamed.

I awoke with a jolt.

I’d been ha

    WRAITH’S POV“Have you heard? The Iron Claw Pack will be holding a ball in two weeks.” Jake said, taking a seat on one of the office chairs.“Well, I have now.”“I think it’s all part of some scheme.”“Rex is always scheming. But the Iron Claw’s ball is the very last thing on your mind.”“Clearly. Lately you’ve been quite distressed; is something the matter?”There’s been one thing on my mind. Tessa. I was worried about her; The fact that I couldn’t understand what was happening to her made it even worse.“How much do you know about… nursing mothers?” I questioned, even if I was aware Jake was the last person I should be asking that question.“Only what Angelina had told me during her visit to the Maternity Ward. Why?” he questioned, sitting up.“This question might sound a bit strange, but I’m curious to know. Do nursing mothers suffer from… memory lapses?”“Actually, it’s pretty common. Angelina told me once of a mother who had handed her child to a friend, only to forget who she’d

    REX POVI watched Danika walk away.If Richard hadn’t interrupted, I would have done it. I would have closed the distance between us and kissed her.What the hell was I thinking? Danika was nothing like the other women I’ve been with; she was different in more ways than one. Crossing that line with her could end up getting things even more messy; it could end up bringing change.Change wasn’t always a good thing.“It seems Miss. Danika isn’t very comfortable around me. I can’t blame her; after all, I’d kidnapped her.”“I gave the order.” I reminded him.“What is your plan, Alpha?”“Whatever do you mean?” I questioned, even if I knew exactly what he was referring to.“With her.” He pointed at the door she’d gone through. “Are you planning to have her as a breeder? That much would make sense, or perhaps she’d become the second ever human Luna when you make her your mate?”“I will not make her into my breeder, I’m sure she’ll detest the idea of lowering herself into nothing more than a

    Rex led me away from the training field.“Are we heading to yet another place where you can flaunt your skills?” I questioned as we headed back for the pack house.“Not exactly, I want to show you something.”“I can’t believe I’ll have to climb up those stairs again. I wonder how tiresome it would be for your pack members.”“Actually… it’s not. Why climb down the stairs when you can simply jump?” He questioned, and I gave him a questioning look before realizing what he meant.Of course, for werewolves with their inhumane speed, it will be no trouble at all. I’d witnessed a werewolf’s speed once, when Rex had revealed to me his true nature. I could have sworn he hadn’t moved, and yet, somehow, he’d gotten to me.“That makes much sense now.” I admitted.“Perhaps, I’ll need to install an elevator to make your movement easier.”I burst into laughter, but Rex wasn’t joking; he’d actually meant it.“So you would really do that?”“You complained about the stairs, that’s the solution.”“There

    Rex guided me past the manor and around to the back.Once again, I was astonished. The land stretched out vast and open, but unlike the elegance of the front, this place was much… different.For one, there were a lot of people present. Wolves, I could tell.“This is the pack’s training ground, though more demanding exercises take place in a clearing deeper in the woods,” he informed me. I counted about five training rings. In each, two members faced off, their movements nothing short of graceful. While others kept busy with different exercises, some were punching at wooden dummies, others lifting hefty weights, and a few firing arrows into target boards.In one of the rings was Jet—the guy I’d met in the woods. He seemed to be getting the upper hand against his opponent, landing punch after punch with precision at him.“Do they enjoy getting beaten up?” I asked, curious.“Partially, yes, though they’d much rather win the fight. But you should know—werewolves heal fast.”“That’s why y

    Danika’s POVAfter taking a bath, I dressed in simple blue jeans and a dark brown shirt. I walked to the door and, just as I did every other day, I tried the handle.The door was… unlocked. It had never been left that way, not once since I arrived here—except during the maid’s visits. Once, I had even planned to overpower her and escape, but I’d hesitated, wondering if, like Rex, she was a werewolf. If that were true, then there was no way I could overpower her.I walked out of the room.Had they forgotten to lock the doors? My mind drifted to the conversation I had with Rex only yesterday. Could this have been done deliberately?The stairs were easy to find, and the continuous staircase was sure to lead to the ground floor. I couldn’t understand how anyone could walk up and down them multiple times a day. It felt and looked like pure torture.On my way down, I spotted several uniformed men, dressed just like the ones who’d been standing by the dining room entry earlier. I didn’t miss

    “How do you know about all of these?” I questioned. “Were you a part of this secret society?”“No. I was the Alpha, and your parents, being good people, came clean to me. They made me swear that I’ll never utter a word about it to a single soul.But if I’d known. If I had known that because of them, I’d lose everything, then I would have sent them away when I had the chance. I should never have allowed them to stay.”My parents—my mother, whom I’d believed couldn’t hurt a fly, and my father, who was all about honor—I couldn’t imagine it. And yet, I knew there was truth in his words.My parents had been the reason the pack had been destroyed. My father didn’t lose his leg serving the pack; he lost it escaping the same organization he co-founded.“They could have just given him the serum; Cellise pack would still have been standing if they just handed it to him.” Terrian said, unable to hide his bitterness. “And so, when I realized I had lost, I ran away like a coward, with my tail bet
