Malcolm’s POV

“Moon Goddess, please just take me too. I don't want to live.”

Her voice was faint through the mind link, but I heard it.

And it destroyed me. Davina was wishing for death because of the pain I caused her?

I stopped walking. No, I froze, my body refused to take another step. The pain in her voice was unbearable, it was worse than any wound I had ever taken in battle. Worse than my father’s wrath. Worse than the fear of losing everything.

She was my mate.

And I had left her there, broken, and alone.

I clenched my fists, my breathing was ragged as I fought against the instincts screaming at me to turn around. To go back to her. To hold her.

She had been my everything.

I had been her only thing.

And I abandoned her.

I lifted my head to the sky, with my heart beating violently against my ribs. Moon Goddess, why are you punishing us? What have we done to deserve this?

Of course, there was no answer.

There was never an answer.

I turned.

Before I could even think twice about wh

    Malcolm’s POV“You’re not leaving yet, are you?”Her voice was soft, still filled with sleep, as she traced lazy circles on my chest. Her touch sent shivers down my spine, but I forced myself to stay still, to not let my emotions show.After such an emotional and satisfying night, I was just too lazy to leave. I was still enjoying her smoothing carress all over me.I turned my head to the side, taking in her face. The way the early morning sun kissed her skin, the way her lips curved into the smallest, was most peaceful smile.I wanted to remember and cherish this moment forever.I needed to.“I should go,” I murmured, though my arms were still tightened around her instead. Davina was my peaceful place. I could do almost everything with her by my side.Davina sighed, moving closer, and finally rested her head against my shoulder. “Just a little longer, please..” she whispered.I closed my eyes, inhaling her scent, committing it to the memory of Lavender and Warmth. She was my home. I

    Malcolm’s POV“You’ll come back, right?”Her voice was soft, and was filled with so much trust that it nearly broke me. I knew it might be under. I had promised yet she was still asking me. I guess she's also scared and suspicious already.I cupped her face, as my thumb traced her cheek. “Of course, I will,” I said, pressing one last lingering kiss to her lips.I could feel her smile against my mouth, her hands tightened around my shirt as if she never wanted to let go. And neither did I.I was going to miss her so much if we don't get to see each other again. I mean, my instinct never lied to me. Something was about to happen and I know it for a fact.Even though she was hurting and didn't want me to go, she was still putting my interest first. She didn't want me to get caught and that's one of the reasons I love her so much. She is a typical example of a Luna. Unlike Lyra who is selfish and arrogant. I wonder why my father hadn't noticed her bad character yet. She didn't deserve to

    THE BEGINNING OF THE ENDDavina’s POVIt was a new day in the pack, but something felt different. There was this happy energy in the pack, something almost electric. The usual quietness of the morning was replaced by joyous movements, excited whispers, and the shuffling of feet. I haven't seen such a happy moment in the pack before except during a full moon or if there’s succession. And Malcolm hadn't told me about any succession. So what was going on? What are they celebrating that I didn't know? Everywhere I looked, people were in motion, arranging, decorating, and preparing.For what? What is happening? I wanted to shout it but I wouldn't dare. Not in my miserable life. Long tables were positioned perfectly across the clearing, covered in white and lined with silver goblets, the plates were empty but waiting. It was obvious that food would be served. Some places were decorated with Blue and gold banners, it was the colors of our pack.The colors flapped from the trees, turn

    THE GATHERING Davina’s POV“No… no, no, no.”The words repeated in my mind like a chant, like a prayer I desperately wanted the Moon Goddess to hear.I stood behind the clearing, hidden behind the trees, my entire body was trembling as my eyes took in the celebration before me. I couldn't believe what I was seeing.Tears covered my eyes, I couldn't breathe, my Malcolm. My mate. Why is this happening to me? This was another heart whacking event for me since my father passed. This is not fair. Why can't anyone even have pity on me?The more I cried, the more people arrived, they didn't even care, everyone wanted to look their best. dressed in their finest. Women wore elegant gowns, with their hair woven with silver threads. Men wore dark tunics embroidered with the pack’s crest, their expressions were serious but joyful. Warriors stood on guard, with their hands resting on the hilts of their swords, standing in absolute silence.This wasn’t just about the succession, it was a d

    THE BETRAYAL BEGINS Davina’s pov“Why didn’t you tell me,Malcolm? Why did you have to hurt me like this?”The words echoed in my mind, over and over, as hot tears streamed down my face.I stood there, hidden behind the tall trees bordering the clearing, my body was trembling, and my heart was smashing more with every second that passed. My fingers kept digging into my arms as I tried to hold myself together to stop me from breaking apart completely.Why didn’t you tell me? Why did you deceive me? Why did you lie to me? Why? I swallowed the sob in my throat, my eyes were filled with tears as I watched the pack move in celebration, joy, and happiness. This celebration should have been the happiest in my life. But instead, I stood there, looking dumb, forgotten, discarded, and betrayed.I should have known. I should have known that this wouldn't work, that I was just dreaming. An omega? A Luna? What was I even thinking? I should have known that nothing good was ever meant for

    THE ALPHA’s CORONATIONDavina’s POV “This is really happening.” I stood there, rooted to the spot, unable to tear my eyes away as Malcolm finished his speech. My hands trembled at my sides, my heart was a wild drumbeat in my chest. “Why, Malcolm? Why did you tell me? I have loved you right. But you deceived me, lied to me and acted like you wanted me.”The words repeated in my head, like a cruel chant that wouldn’t stop. “Why? Why?” The crowd was still clapping, and still celebrating, as the elders stepped onto the stage. They moved with solemn classiness, their long robes brushed against the wooden platform. With his head high and proud.One of them held a small silver bowl filled with a thick, golden oil. Another carried a ceremonial dagger, its blade glinting under the moonlight. I had seen this ritual before. It was the official passing of power. The moment Malcolm would no longer just be the Alpha’s son.No.From this moment on, he would be Alpha Malcolm Blackwood. “And

    A Silent PleaDavina’s POV “Malcolm.”His name slipped past my heart before I could stop it. He was mine, my mate. I know and can see the obvious. I was here, looking like a maid while Lyra was there, looking so beautiful and like Luna. He’d choose but I still didn't want to believe that. We are mates.My heart was calling him… pleading for him to see me, tell me that what I was seeing wasn't what was happening.And for the first time since this ceremony, he heard it, he heard my call. I knew he did.Because the moment our eyes locked, the proud, confident smile he had been wearing, the one meant for the crowd, for his father, for his people faltered.It wasn’t immediate. It didn’t shatter all at once. But I saw the hesitation. The way his lips parted slightly, the way his chest rose and fell just a little too fast.He sees me. We were staring at each other.He sees what he’s done. He saw the pain in my eyes, he heard how fast my heartbeat was beating. He saw how I pleaded with him w

Everyone stopped talking and refocused.The cheers, the music, the idle conversations were all gone in an instant. It was time for the next action. The moment I have been waiting for.I began to sweat, my heart was rising and falling steadily against my chest. I was nervous. I bet it wasn't just me, everyone was flashing their eyes in anticipation.Because this was it. The moment we all have been waiting for.The moment every she-wolf dreamed of.The moment the future Alpha would announce his mate and his Luna.And I knew, deep in my bones, that it wouldn't be me but it should be me.I was his mate. Destined by the moon goddess.I was the one he loved.I wrapped my arms around myself, as if that would somehow shield me from the fear curling inside me. My chest felt tight, and I struggled to take

    A Lesson in ControlDavina’s POVI was still on the floor, hunched over and panting like I had just clawed my way out of a grave. My ribs were pulsed with pain. Blood had soaked through my shirt and onto my hands, it was sticky and warm, and the sight of it made my stomach churn.Then came the knock. I wasn't expecting anyone. Who might it be? At first, I didn't answer. But it continued. Three gentle knocks and it was almost hesitant taps that I couldn't ignore again.Shit!I scrambled to stand, but the pain yanked me back down with a vengeance. I let out a breathless curse and leaned against the wall, my head was still swimming. Whoever it was could wait. Or better yet, go away.But I knew that knock. It wasn't harsh. That damn calmness.“Come in,” I said, in a hoarse and trembling tone.The door creaked open, and the second he stepped inside, he was Alpha Eris. His entire body stiffened like a drawn bowstring. His eyes snapped to the blood, then to me, then back to the blood again.

    Setbacks and FrustrationsDavina’s POVAs I got back to my room, my legs almost gave out beneath me. Each of my legs was heavy, like I was dragging the weight of failure behind me. My shoulders slumped, and every breath burned like fire in my lungs. I was tired…no, I was super exhausted but I still needed to freshen up. The stench of sweat clung to me, soaked into my clothes, and the dust from the training field stuck to my skin like guilt. My whole body was dirty.I kicked the door shut behind me and leaned against it for a moment, pressing my eyes closed as the ache settled deep into my bones. With trembling fingers, I began to remove my shirt. But the moment I lifted my arm, a searing pain shot through my side.“Agh…!” I screamed and then collapsed onto my knees.The sound of my voice echoed around my room like it didn’t belong to me, making me gaze around a bit. It was too loud and too broken. My chest rose and fell rapidly, I could feel panic in my throat. I slowly reached down,

He was still calm Focused and very tired. Which made me wonder the kind of wolf he is. I know he's Alpha and was supposed to be stronger than anyone else in the pack but this was too much. I know no matter how hard I train and even become better, I can never match his strength.“Again,” he said for the hundredth time that morning.I gritted my teeth, forcing myself to stand upright. I was too exhausted already. My knees wobbled, but I didn’t let myself fall. I couldn’t fall. I didn't want to disappoint him again. He has been trying to see me become stronger and better.I tried to remember how to breathe. In, Out, Slow, and Control. But my chest felt too tight.“I can’t,” I whispered.“Wrong answer.” His voice came out sharp, but not cruel. He wasn’t mocking me, he was daring and Pushing me.He lunged again. Not ful

    Awakening the FighterEris’s POVThe sun had barely risen when I started dressing for training. As Alpha, I need to train more than the others. I should be stronger too.This morning, I didn't need any Maid to help me get dressed. So, I put on my black training pants, I fastened the ties accordingly before reaching for my tunic. The fabric slipped over my shoulders, fitting snugly, but my mind wasn’t on the routine of it.I was waiting and wondering why she hadn't knocked yet. It was unlike her. She always comes to remind me.“Hmmm,” I wondered. Or won’t she want to train again? Or was it something else?Davina had come to me last night, with full willingness burning in her eyes as she told me she was ready to go again. But words were one thing…action was another.Would she show up? Or would fear to steal her decision?I fastened the last strap on my wrist guards, glancing toward the door. Yet, there was nothing.Tch.I ran a hand through my hair and exhaled sharply before turning to

    Strength is Earned Eris’s POV Davina was struggling. It wasn’t obvious to most, but I saw it. I could clearly see through her no matter how hard she tried to cover it up. The way she moved through the packhouse, barely making a sound. The way she darted her eyes around, like she expected a blow at any moment or even scared. The way she stiffened when someone spoke to her, like she was waiting, always waiting for cruelty. Sometimes she spends her days or even weeks indoors and shivers when someone comes around. She kept her distance. Not just from me, but from everyone. And I let her for a while. I wanted her to have her space. She needed time. A chance to adjust, to heal. But hiding wasn’t healing. Avoiding people wasn’t learning how to stand on her own. And I couldn’t watch her wither away in that room any longer. She is part of us now and it’s high time she starts becoming one. So, I made a decision. She needed to see what strength looked like, She needed to see that it wasn’t

    The Struggle BeginsEris’s POVI had seen warriors break before. I had seen their struggles and weaknesses but Davina is one of the most determined I had ever seen.I had watched men, twice Davina’s size, crumble under the pressure of training. But there was something different about her. She wasn't strong in the body, but she was strong in the mind. And that helped her not to break. It helped her to struggle to stand anytime she went down. As I kept watching her, I felt so much joy and happiness despite the fact that she barely had a chance.And I watched every moment of her fall.At first, I let Nadia handle her. Davina was stiff, clumsy, and painfully slow. Every move she made was predictable, and every time she tried to attack, Nadia countered it effortlessly.I leaned against a tree, with my arms crossed, silently observing as Nadia knocked Davina to the ground again. Over and over again. I am not one to show emotions but I felt really sorry for her.Davina gasped for breath, dir

    A Promise to Myself Davina’s POV I was still standing in the same position on the left, still watching. The training grounds were filled with cries, groans, and strength. I admired them a lot but I couldn't do it. Alpha Eris had left me alone after inviting me here, giving me space to decide for myself. I appreciated that. But now, as I watched the warriors spar, I wasn’t sure if this was something I could handle. I hated how weak I was, I hated how fear still had its claws deep in me. But training like this? My eyes followed a particularly brutal match between two warriors, both were young men, their bodies were covered in sweat, and they had serious faces on. They moved with speed and precision, their fists slammed into each other, bones cracked, and growls tore through the atmosphere. And when one of them finally hit the ground, gasping for breath, the other didn’t stop. I guess there was no mercy and hesitation here. The downed warrior barely had time to roll before anothe

    Davina’s POVThey didn’t think I belonged here. They don't like me here.I heard them before I saw them, their voices were slithering through the cracks of the wooden door as I sat curled up on the bed. I hadn't done anything wrong for them to even dislike me. I barely go out. So why the hate? It's okay to be suspicious but the hate was too extreme. How do I get comfortable around here? How do I feel safe when most of the pack members don't even like me?“She’s still here?” a woman whispered, her voice sounded sharp with irritation. It was so obvious in her voice.A low scoff followed. “Of course she is. Our Alpha’s little pet.”“I wonder what Alpha sees in her.”My stomach twisted. I leaned forward, straining my ears to hear more.“She’s weak,” another voice chimed in. “Barely speaks. I don’t get what Alpha Eris sees in her. We have beautiful and strong females in this pack that fits the position of Luna. I don't know why he doesn't see us.”I was beyond shocked. Alpha Eris doesn't e
