Caspian's Pov Every time I try to hold back, I remember it. Her face, her smile, her words and the way her legs swiftly moved as she ran away right in front of me—from those demons that couldn't live peacefully with their kind. Nyx was showing the same signs Veyra did. But Veyra wasn't from the Darkvale pack, I only knew her name and the fact that she was on the run with some people.But Nyx? I was having Nyx find me a cure, I had no doubt she would be similar to Veyra, maybe she's not. Still, twenty years ago still feels so close. The way her words felt so strong, yet soft. It always calmed my heart but hurt me more to see her suffer. I stood back for years watching her get hurt by the monster she married, but I had brought her back to my arms and nothing would make me change my mind. The crescent moon pack is totally small compared to the Red moon pack, our differences were far from each other. I would have claimed Nyx since she was 20 but she was betrothed to Zade already, get
Chapter Nyx’s PovThe sun was already setting when I finally mustered the courage to ask, “Do any of you know where Alpha Caspian went? Haven't seen him since morning” I approached a set of ladies folding the sheets. They paused for a second, but I caught it. It felt like they were scared and I had my eyes on Sheila especially. She was the active maid, went round with others and almost everywhere in the house. Right, the house. I should start from going through every corner in the house and asking questions. I still couldn't explain the look on their faces, like they were afraid to speak. One of them, who seemed to be the youngest, quickly lowered her head. “The Alpha doesn’t tell us anything. We’re not allowed to answer such questions too.”The other two nodded. “We don’t think we are the right people for you to ask, Milady,” one said quietly.Their voices were flat, like they were used to speaking that way. Like they had learned to silence curiosity for their own survival.I stu
Nyx’s PovI sighed as I entered the room—my room now, apparently. It still didn’t feel like mine. The walls were soft beige, pristine floors, and the bed looked so well furnished, I wanted to sniff it. He must have prepared a lot for me before he brought me here. I glanced around and saw the different shades of whoever could have lived in the room. His mistresses? The maids did mention he sent out all the mistresses because of me. I didn't know what Caspian was up to, but I knew he just needed a cure for something important, that I was yet to know and close to find out. I sat down on the edge of the bed, and a knock sounded on the door.I hesitated, “Come in?” I finally said after the third knock, unsure if I was even allowed to speak freely in here. I had to measure my steps no matter the freedom Caspian was willingly to offer. Two maids stepped in, their heads bowed. “Milady,” one said gently. “What would you like for breakfast?”Breakfast?I blinked at them, confused. In the Cr
Caspian’s PovA final startThe morning sun had barely warmed the cold stones of the estate, I called the butler, Nyx had to be treated well for my plan to come into place.“Make sure her breakfast is served well. Fresh bread, fruit, honey. Anything she might want. I want her fed and comfortable when she wakes.”He nodded quickly, already used to the way I operated precisely, demanding and never asking twice.I might have my wolf dormant, I didn't have my authority stripped. I didn’t wait around to see it done, I trusted efficiency with my butler. Instead, I made my way to the garden, it was always my personal escape at the back of the house. A place none of my servants or even the mistresses I traded dared to step into.I crouched near the edge of the bed of blooms. Wild lavender, yellow asphodel, and those white and violet charms. The charm flowers, they were there too. Each time I stare at them, I'm drawn back to that time. It was twenty years ago, deep in the mountain region, wh
Accepting The DealNyx’s PovI was still trying to adjust to the lavish suffocation of Caspian’s home and his creepy words when he leaned closer and asked, “What if we signed a deal?” “What deal? I am not interested in any of your silly games, Alpha Caspian” I said, turning down whatever he had in mind. But with that same maddening smirk, he snapped his fingers. “Alright. Maybe you need to feel refreshed then and feel at home.” He said and stood up. He pulled out his phone and the next thing was the maids rushing in one after the other. “Get her washed up and change her clothes. I want her back to me, and bring her back when she’s done.”They gently pulled me along like I didn’t have a choice in the matter and I was out of Caspian’s sight. I didn’t argue, I was tired, messy, and angry, and honestly, I wanted a damn shower. I cleaned myself up in a warm bath with flowers, brushed my tangled hair, and they gave me a dress. I was in the softest, silkiest nightie I’d ever touched. Bu
The deal Nyx’s PovThe guard stood still after Caspian dismissed him, his expression was numb. Caspian turned his head slightly, “What are you still waiting for? Can't you see I'm busy?” His expression was strong on irritation. “I just thought…giving them the last two would not favor you and it's my job to look after you.” “I didn't ask that from you. Just do what I asked you and stop poking.” His voice was calm and quiet, like he was holding back the urge to kill. The man moved closer to Caspian, he didn't look at me but I saw the amusement in his eyes and he approached Caspian.I sat quietly, managing my attention drifted away from them, with my ears strained. He leaned in, “I assume if we give out the rest of your mistresses, there'll be no one left to ease your pain.” He said in a hushed voice, but loud enough for me to hear.Caspian didn't respond immediately, I caught the tension in his jaw. Whatever pain they were talking about wasn't something he'd like to hear. “And I
