Nathan's POV Nathan's POV Regret clung to me like a shadow, heavy and suffocating. The room echoed with silence, a stark reminder of my foolish choice of letting Carina leave. My wolf, Brain, usually a source of strength, whimpered within me. It was wounded, not physically, but in a way that ran deeper. Carina, our mate, was gone, and the bond between us ached with her absence. How could I have betrayed her trust? My duty as an Alpha was not just to the pack but to her, and I had failed miserably. Was I becoming too soft? I am the most feared Alpha in the Werewolf kingdom. Why would I allow one single female encroach my heart an let me feel bad? That was totally fucked up! Dexter revelled in her departure. His loyalty wavered between me and the power vacuum her exit created. His satisfaction at her absence grated against my inner turmoil, creating a dissonance that mirrored the chaos of our pack. “Alpha, it's time.” His voice echoed in my empty room. “I'll be with you. Make
Author's POV Nathan's wolf senses were alert as they entered Ironclaw, a sense of battle hanging in the air. However, things took an unexpected turn – an eerie silence met them. The streets were empty, homes left behind as if frozen in time. There wasn't a soul around, creating a strange and unsettling stillness that surrounded them. The usual signs of life were conspicuously absent, turning their mission into an eerie exploration of a deserted territory. It felt like stepping into a ghost town, leaving an uneasy feeling in the pit of their stomachs. He grabbed Dexter's shoulder. "What the hell is happening? Where is everyone?" Dexter, visibly shaken, stuttered, "I.. I don't know, Alpha. This ain't right. They should be here." Nathan frowned, his instincts telling him something was amiss. "Spread out, find Selene. We need to know what's going on." The search was frantic. The warriors moved cautiously through the eerily silent city, their senses heightened. It was like a ghost
Author's POV Alpha Black's, sinister laughter echoed through the desolate battleground. The scene before Nathan was a nightmare – his pack defeated, warriors dead or gone, Dexter held hostage, and his Selene, a fucking traitor. This was not part of the plan! His heart bled. "Well, well, Nathan. It seems fate has dealt you a cruel hand," Alpha Black sneered, circling Nathan with a predatory gaze. "Your father, now him, and soon, you." Nathan's eyes burned with fury. "You won't get away with this. Where is my mother?" He screamed out in anger, but he remained in his position. Behind him were over a hundred warriors. He knew he probably stood no chance! Alpha Black chuckled, his voice dripping with malicious delight. "Impatient as always. Patience, young Alpha. All in good time." Nathan couldn't hold back. He roared, "Enough games! Tell me where the fuck my mother is it I will bulge out your eyes!" "Ah, the joys of power. The desperation in your voice, the helplessness in your eye
Author's POV The clash of fur and fang erupted in a flurry of movement as Nathan and Alpha Black lunged at each other. Nathan's wolf, fueled by a potent mix of rage and desperation, attacked with a ferocity that initially caught Alpha Black off guard. The ground trembled beneath the impact of their collisions, each swipe and bite leaving scars on the once untouched soil. "Is this the best WormWood can offer?" Alpha Black sneered, parrying Nathan's aggressive assaults. "Your father was a more formidable opponent." Nathan growled, his eyes ablaze with determination. "You won't break us!" The initial moments favoured Nathan. His wolf, driven by the need to rescue his mother and avenge his fallen pack, overwhelmed Alpha Black. The air crackled with the tension of the confrontation, and the spectators, including Selene, watched in anticipation. As the battle unfolded, Alpha Black adapted. His movements became more strategic, exploiting Nathan's blind rage. The advantage shifted, an
Carina's POV Life has been unfair to me. But today, it all ends. Today, I will be redeemed of my depression and sadness. I will finally feel what it means to be truly loved. Loved by my mate, loved by people! Today, I will be the Luna of Blue Wood Pack! "Tell me. How does it feel? Exciting, right?" Eris, my bestie approached me calmly, holding two glasses of wine of which she extended one to me. I sighed and smiled. I couldn't find the right words to express my happiness. So, I sipped into the red wine and repositioned myself, facing the stage where Gareth stood, preparing for his speech and talking to his highly esteemed guests. "I feel… me. I feel loved, Eris. My mouth just can't describe it!" My wide smile continued as I admired my mate. My husband. My love. At least, that was who he was to me. I couldn't help but be constantly drawn by the godly aurora that danced around his perfectly fitted body. Though he was wearing a suit, a blue suit which was his favorite, I still
Carina's POV Everything happened so quickly. It felt like a dream to me. A nightmare. "Fuck you, bitch. I trusted you, give that to me!" Madame Rosa stripped off the necklace she gave me on my last birthday. "You're crazy! I regret ever giving you this dress, you daughter of a murderer!" Madame Irene with all the anger in her heart over the death of her husband, ripped my gown with her claws, tearing them into pieces. This went on for several minutes and soon, I was barely naked. Almost everything I wore that night were gifts from the pack members. I needed them to know how much I valued their gifts as much as I valued them. But all the while, Gareth was behind, mating with my best friend. "Throw her out. The moon Goddess shouldn't curse this city!" One old man shouted and before I could phantom what was happening, I was outside, not the pack house, but the city. I was driven to the outskirts of Blue Wood, where the strong men there me into the woods, letting the broken branch
Carina's POV I was right! This was WormWood Pack. The very pack that every other pack feared. This was the very park into whose hands my father betrayed our pack, the Blue Wood Pack. I scanned the room and everything I saw confirmed it, including the portrait painting of Blake, the Alpha of WormWood Pack. Or former Alpha? "Hey.. tsk… Get me out of here, please. Where am I, even?" I asked, trying to get the guards to talk to me, but they remained stoic and didn't even flinch at me. Slowly, my memories began to fade into my head. Gareth. Eris. Blue Wood Pack. The rejections. The humiliation. It was finally all coming back. I began to remember everything! The very man who claimed to love me for many years, the very man who I always thought was the love of my life, the person who will heal my broken past and seal my dark secrets. He was the same one who publicly disgraced, humiliated and rejected me, sending me out of his pack. Why? Because of the error of my father, and because
Carina's POV My body froze. How did he know? How? My eyes kept looking at him, not knowing what to do. Would he send me away? I was a cursed breed. I would bring disaster to his pack! Everything was making no sense. My life was making no sense. How much messier could it be? "The door will be open. When you're done crying, you can come see the beautiful sunlight! WormWood city is a beautiful place. The past is in the past!" He nodded and left me alone in the room. "Is that it, Moon Goddess? Is that how you decided to ruin my life? Well, thank you! You've succeeded!" I cried out. I didn't grow up with a mother. She died on the day of my birth. I spent the first 7 years of my life with my father, after which he died. He was the only person who only truly… truly ever loved me. My father hid me from the world. He would always tell me that I am a special pup and should never beg for validation from anyone. °°°°°°°°°°°°°° "But how, daddy? I haven't even gotten my wolf yet!" I a
