Sally POVI felt someone lift me up and put me down on something soft. I wanted to fight back, but all I could manage was a soft groan. “Shh, I’ve got you.” A low voice said. I realized that it was Nick and I relaxed slightly. Whatever he wanted, he was not here to hurt me. I pried my eyes open and saw Nick rinse excess water from a cloth. Then he carefully patted the cloth on the welts and bruises. “What are you doing?” I asked with a hoarse voice. “You still have Wolfsbane in your system.” He said. “You can’t heal quickly, so I’m cleaning your wounds so that they don’t get infected.”He carefully washed my arm, then took my hand. “I need to fix your shoulder.” He said. “It’s going to hurt, but just lay still.”I nodded. With a swift move, he put the bone back in the socket and I groaned loudly from the pain. He gently placed my arm back down and I bit my lip trying not to cry.Nick looked at me with sad eyes. “It’s okay.” He whispered. “It’s okay to break down if that’s wh
Nick POV I muttered curses under my breath as I ran through the forest in my wolf form. It had taken some work, but I managed to sneak out of the territory and took off towards the border to the Blue Eclipse pack. This was a terrible idea. How could I let myself be talked into risking my life and betraying my pack by this teenage girl that came out of nowhere? But in a way, it made sense. She was Elijah’s mate. My son.I guess ‘you never know what you’ve had until you lost it’ has never been more true. The second Elijah’s body dropped to the ground, I had to struggle to keep my composure. It was exactly what I had tried to avoid for years and it still happened right in front of me. There was no excuse for what I did to Elijah. But the Goddess knows that I love my son. I should have told him the truth a long time ago. I should have trusted him instead of taking out all the pack’s high expectations on him. It wasn’t fair. Now, I feared that it was too late. There was no reason for
Sally POVThe sound of someone crying woke me up and I looked around in confusion. At first, I thought I imagined it. But then I heard it again. Despite my sore body, I slowly pulled the blanket off me and limped over to where my clothes were scattered on the floor. I winced in pain as I put them on. It was freezing in the dungeon since the windows were open and the cold air blew inside constantly. Once I had my clothes on, I sauntered over to the door and looked out through the bars. The hallway outside was empty, but I found the source of the crying. It came from the cell opposite mine.It was a girl around my age. She was sitting huddled into a corner with her knees to her chest. I noticed that she was naked and even though her cell didn’t have a window, I figured that she must be cold. I walked back to the bed and grabbed the blanket before I went back to the door. “Psst.” I whispered. The girl looked up with tearful eyes. “Hey.” I said and held out the blanket. “Are you c
Sally POVThe sound of footsteps made me peek out through the bars of the cell door. I saw Nick coming down the stairs and I heaved a sigh of relief. He gestured at me to step away from the door and opened it. “How did it go?” I whispered. “I guess that either it went well and you just came back, or you chickened out and didn’t go at all.”Nick scoffed. “What do you take me for? Of course I went! Elijah has a plan and they’re setting it in motion as we speak.”I could barely contain my excitement. “Really?” I almost squealed. “Yeah, I gave them the intel they needed to get onto pack lands.” He whispered. “Get ready to leave, because they’re on their way!”“Thank you.” I whispered. He held up a syringe and smiled at me apologetically. “Don’t thank me yet.” He said. “Alpha still gave me orders to give you this.”I groaned.“Can’t we just skip it?” I asked. Nick shook his head. “He’ll feel if your wolf is awake, and we’ll have no explanation for that.” He replied. “Hopefully you
Sally POVPasha and I stiffened and scrambled to the furthest corner of our cells when we heard the door to the dungeon open. I didn’t really know what to expect. In a way, I hoped that it was just Nick. He was the only one that was nice to me here.We heard some shuffling and footsteps coming down the stairs. I frowned. Either the person had four feet or there were two people coming our way. I looked up and couldn’t believe what I saw. It was Hudson and Luke that stormed into the dungeon. “Hudson?” I asked. Hudson’s head snapped in my direction and his eyes widened. “Sally.” He hissed. “Don’t worry. We’re here to get you out.”Luke tossed the keys to him and he started to unlock the cell door. When the door opened, Luke rushed into the cell and crouched down beside me. “Are you hurt, Lala?” He asked worriedly. I blinked rapidly to stop the tears from falling from my eyes. Luke hugged me tightly and I groaned in pain. “Oh, sorry.” He mumbled. “Do you think that you can stan
Elijah POVI couldn’t believe what I was hearing. There was no way that I would believe what my father had just said if it wasn’t for the fact that I was standing right next to him. I trusted the plans that he gave us to invade the Midnight pack, but I thought that he did it for Sally. It was his natural instinct to protect the Luna, so I just thought that was his reason for helping us. The rest of the things he said when he handed the plans over, I just considered bullsh*t.Alpha Richard looked bewildered. “Are you crazy?” He asked.I glanced at my father.If he was afraid, you definitely couldn’t tell from his posture. Instead, he looked really determined. “No.” He said. “Actually, it’s the first time in years that I’m thinking clearly.”Alpha Richard seemed unsure what to do for a few seconds, but then he sighed and his usual smirk made its way across his facial features. “Very well.” He said. “I won’t stand for traitors in my pack anyway, so I’ll just kill you first.”My fathe
Sally POVAlpha Richard doubled over in pain while I saw Pasha fall to her knees. Luke caught her and caressed her hair, whispering words in her ear to help ease the pain. I turned back to Alpha Richard and he was slowly recovering from the pain. He looked back at Pasha with hate-filled eyes. “I guess that now I don’t have to be merciful to you.” He growled. “You’ll die along with any other traitor in this pack, you worthless Omega whore!” He shifted back into his wolf and pounced on Pasha and Luke who were still sitting on the steps in front of the packhouse. I saw movement beside me and saw Hudson shift and jump to cut Alpha Richard off mid-air. They tumbled around before gathering their bearings. Alpha Richard snarled at Hudson and Hudson retaliated with a roar. That was a challenge. Hudson was challenging Alpha Richard for the title. Under normal circumstances, a challenge would be started in human form while going over some ground rules. One of the rules was that you wer
Sally POVWe got to work right away. Alpha Hudson asked if we could help him get an overview of the situation at Midnight pack.The vast majority of the warriors submitted to Alpha Hudson immediately, which was a huge relief. The ones that refused, Alpha Hudson cast out as Rogues hoping they could find another pack to live in. After a few hours, a large van pulled up in front of the packhouse and Avery jumped out of the car along with Luna Roberta, Alex and a group of other civilian people from the Blue Eclipse pack, ready to help. I saw Alpha Hudson embrace Avery and kiss her passionately. When they pulled away, I saw Avery blushing and I said teasingly. “So, I guess you’re a Luna now.”Avery squealed and rushed to hug me.“We were so worried.” She whispered. The others walked up to us and Alex hugged me too. “I’m sorry.” He said. “I’m so, so sorry. If I hadn’t stayed in the field that day, they would never have had the opportunity to take you.”I shook my head at him. “Don’t s
