**Raina's POV**My eyes opened, and I realised I had lost consciousness while in my wolf form.I jolted upright in bed, staring down at myself, releasing a sigh of relief when I saw myself fully clothed.Wait... I was definitely attacked.Which meant I was kidnapped.Where was I, and who the hell dressed me up?My heart hammered as I looked around.I was in a large, clean room with cream-coloured walls and lime curtains.The bed I was on was huge, the blankets soft, but there was nothing comfortable about being here.I wanted to go home.Home.Did I even have one anymore?Rowan got his real mate back.My chest squeezed as a sadness I've never felt before washed over me.That spot wasn't meant to be yours, Raina.I told myself, trying to ignore the piercing pain shooting through my heart. It felt like a cat was clawing at my heart with its sharp claws.This wasn't the happily ever after that Rowan promised me.Why did I think that my life had changed for the better and that things woul
**Rowan's POV**"So, Alpha Pace is the one who's out for your neck," Flynn said on our way back after I briefed him."He is. It seems he knows something about Raina. The way he looked at my mark was weird," I said, frowning deeply.His interest in my mate was creepy. I also detected some envy when he heard Raina and I had marked each other. It was also weird that it upset him.Could he also be after Raina for her powers? But how the hell did he know about the powers?Unless...My eyes widened when a lightbulb went off in my head.The Nightshade Pack.Why didn't I think about it earlier?It was part of the three packs, which were close to where Beta Michael found Raina’s mother.What if Raina’s mother was from the Nightshade Pack?It would make sense for Alpha Pace to know about her powers, which also means he could be the enemy we are looking for.The enemy is someone who knows about Raina's powers, and Alpha Pace seems to be the biggest suspect in all this.No wonder he was adamant a
**Raina's POV**I froze just as the place fell into stunned silence. Was I dreaming, or was this really happening?All eyes were on me, and I could see the confusion plastering their faces. "What did you say?" I asked.Maybe I didn't hear her well the first time. Did she just claim to be Rowan's fated mate?What the hell? Who was she and where did she come from? Carla’s smile didn't drop from her face. She glanced at her hand, which I had left hanging before withdrawing it. "I said I'm Rowan's fated mated. We met some time back, but I had no pack then. I saw that he was an Alpha. There was no way he could take a rogue as his Luna. So I faked my death. Luckily, my pack took me back, and now, I'm back to claim what's mine." Shocked gasps echoed around us, and I could hear everyone whispering amongst themselves, asking if I was really Rowan's fated mate. I coiled my hands into fists, so hard I could have drawn blood. A lump formed in my throat, and I found it hard to swallow. It
**Raina's POV** "So you think you've won?" Gwen’s annoying voice stopped me in my tracks. I turned to look at her, nodding at Jade so she could proceed to get into the car. "I thought you left already. Did you wait out here to.. " I raised my hands and made quotation marks in the air. "Put me in my place?" Anger flashed through Gwen’s eyes. She didn't look as confident as she looked when she approached me earlier. When she was sure she would succeed in humiliating me like she had in the past. Too bad, I'm not Raina the pushover anymore. Gwen’s eyes were red, and her mascara had made dark circles around her eyes. She looked like she had been crying for a long time. Silas denying her must have been a huge blow if she didn’t care about her appearance. Gwen was someone who always cared about her looks.."Raina, keep gloating like that. Your new life won't last long. I already know you're a fake Luna. Alpha Rowan didn't want to take anyone as his mate for a long time. Why do you th
**Rowan’s POV**“Alpha Rowan, thank you for gracing us with your presence,” the leader of the council spoke, his voice deep with a cunning edge to it. For some reason, my wolf didn’t like him. He stirred inside me and fought to take control and rip the man’s head off. I frowned deeply. My wolf only reacted like that if he felt like there was something dangerous around me. The leader of the council was known as Alpha Pace Campfield of the Nightshade Pack. He had dark short hair with two mismatched eyes. Green and grey. His aura had a sinister edge to it, and he oozed a powerful aura. He gave thug vibes. How the hell did they end up voting for him to be the head of the council? He looked more like a villain than a leader of something as big as the werewolf council. “Alpha Pace,” I said, giving him a curt nod before acknowledging the other Alphas. “So, tell us, Alpha Rowan. Is it true that you kidnapped a she-wolf from the Whitecrest Pack and forced her to be your mate? You do kn
**Rowan’s POV**The beeping sound on the phone echoed in my ears for the umpteenth time. I clenched my jaw, anger flaring through me. “He’s still not answering?” Flynn asked as we got closer to the council headquarters. I shook my head and said through gritted teeth. “You were right. He’s not going to show up. I was a fool to believe he really wanted to make things right with his daughter.” I had been trying to call Beta Michael to ask if he was already at the council, but the calls were going unanswered.“Maybe something went wrong,” Flynn said. “Let’s not depend on him showing up right now. At least we were ready for any possible outcomes. We can find out what happened later once we are done with the council.” I glanced out the window, looking at the tall trees as we headed towards the council headquarters. It was a large building, located on neutral grounds. The council were more like a werewolf court of sorts. The members were from different packs so that they could tackle is
**Rowan’s POV** A week…It took a week of my mate being unconscious for me to experience what it means to complete a mate bond. I couldn’t do shit. I was so fucking worried about her, even when I knew she would eventually wake up. My wolf was restless, and he kept pacing around in my head, givin
**Raina’s POV**I never knew the aftermath of marking was physically exhausting. After we made love for the second time, I was so tired that Rowan had to help me take a bath. Thereafter, I had been in bed for a long time. I couldn’t get up or even do anything. I also kept slipping in and out of co
**Raina’s POV**Rowan’s eyes flashed to his wolf's deep red, a low guttural growl reverberating from his chest.The sound headed straight to my core, and I felt my juices slip out of me. I was so wet… and I wanted him inside me so much, I ended up begging. “Please… put it in me,” I cried out horni
**Rowan’s POV**I glanced at the bottle of the chocolate-flavoured gel and glanced at Raina, arching an eyebrow. “Chocolate? That's an interesting choice.”“Yeah… well, you smell like chocolate, and I love chocolate… so…” she replied bashfully, her cheeks flushed pink. How could she be so beautiful
