Things are getting heated in this chapter. Tatiana is hesitant to confess. Azara is suspicious. Her mates are gone. Giselle's threat is becoming more glaring. Let's hope Azara escapes death again. She is an Opal wolf, so she is powerful, but in scared for her.
Chapter 85Giselle's pov. If only that bitch Azalea knew that it was a trap– the fight, the intense provocation, the pretense…It was carefully orchestrated by me to set my plan in place. I endured everything while my dignity was at stake– the bitter shame, the mortifying torture, the cruel punishment. The sand that clung to my skin reminded me of the humiliation I swallowed. All these for a piece of information.My withdrawal and indifference for weeks filled her with laxity. She thinks the Almighty Giselle had been defeated, simply because I was stripped of my Luna title. Little did she know the crafty plans I had in store for her, and the huge fight between us was that final piece to end the confusing puzzle of her identity. Azalea Hunter.There was something about her–something strange, something powerful, something dark, something big…bigger than her imagination. Something unknown to me, her mates, and the rest of the world. Her deepest darkest secret. That was one of my las
Chapter 84Azara.“You filthy bitch!” Giselle roared in anger, her furious eyes almost popped from their sockets. I squinted, cringing inwardly as her high-pitched voice rang like an old cathedral bell in my ears, almost hurting my eardrums. The effect of her powerful howls caused the ground beneath my feet to tremble mildly. Her deadly eyes found mine as they blazed with fury, ready to melt my skin off my bones. With slow calculated steps, she came face to face with me. Her eyes were acidic, laced with fury and contempt as they dug into me unblinking, waiting for a chance to pounce on me when I was vulnerable. The air thickened with rage and hatred. The atmosphere was filled with tension and the silence that engulfed us was deafening. The unusual pounding of her heart and her harsh breaths filled my ears. Her anger was palpable. Under the soft glow of the sun seeping through the window, I could see her pupils dilate and her eyes flicker as the rage that grew within her threate
Chapter 83Azara. I was wrapped in despair the moment I met myself in my room. The enchanted garden, the dazzling flowers, and Tatiana vanished in the flash of light. My heart was on the verge of exploding as I began to recollect the dream bit by bit. My best friend was murdered in cold blood. Yet, we were kept in the dark. No one suspected a thing. How clever could this killer be? Framing her death as suicide. Everything was done so perfectly that even the Alphas were convinced. What baffled me most was the killer's ability to blend amongst sympathizers during Tatiana's last moments and burial moments. Fuck! How could we not notice? How could I not notice?! It wasn't that hard to spot the ruthless killer amongst the grieving crowd, right? The person with weird behaviour, suspicious character, tensed expression, impatient act, paranoid feeling, and strange body language. How could I not notice anyone?! How could I not be vigilant? How could I fall for such a fabricated st
Chapter 82Azara.“I see all you've been doing in my absence. The way you take care of my mother, the flowers. I appreciate it, but you need to bond with your mate, Azalea. They miss you badly. Don't drift apart because of me. Don't lose them. You've always wanted this, to have your mate's wrapped around your fingers, to start a family, don't ruin all your hard work.” Swallowing the sadness in my throat as those words marinated within me, I agreed with a slow nod, forcing a sad smile to hang on my face as I blinked hard to avoid tears. She was not far from the truth. But this truth broke my heart. I wasn't ready for it, not now, not ever. I just wanted to bond with my friend. After Tatiana's burial, I thought I would never see her again, but thankfully, I got to see her in my dream. If only it were reality. Nonetheless, I was thankful to the Moon Goddess for granting me the rare opportunity to spend time with my friend. Lifting her head from my lap to scan the environment, I c
Chapter 81Author's pov“Where is my Opal wolf?!” Darius’ roars shook the cell Sabrina was curled up in to the foundation so hard that her insides vibrated. “I swear by the Moon Goddess if you haven't found any useful information about harvesting her from the arms of her Pack, the things that I will do to you tonight…even the devil will weep.” The heavy weight of his threats almost made Sabrina as pale as a ghost as her heart nearly jumped out of the cage of her ribs in horror.It was as though the threats landed heavily on Sabrina's mind like a bomb. It shattered her from within, sending her quivering like a leaf tossed by the merciless wind during a storm. She was doomed. She knew it. Darius wasn't a man known to make empty threats. His words were law, and every disobedience was accompanied by endless, cruel punishment. She could feel her heart about to jump out of the cage of her chest as the heavy thumping of Darius’ boot drew closer to her cell. Panic ate her up from within
Chapter 80Azara Dinner time was like ice, not to the quadruplets, but to me. While the quadruplets were delighted that I finally broke out of my shell to spend quality time with them to tighten the bond I almost severed, I remained rooted to a spot, unflinching, forcing nervous smiles occasionally, and throwing a word or two at their compliments. A crushing pain rolled over me after realizing how much they invested in making dinner, pouring their heart, soul, and love to impress me. How they went above and beyond to put things into perfection, made my favourite dish, and tried to create a warm atmosphere to ease me. Bodily, I was present, but my mind was far away. Kilometers away from them. No joke made sense, no compliment erupted any blush, no words were able to erase the knot twisting my stomach. The soft music that filled the background felt like an unbearable noise to me. I craved undiluted silence. I needed to think this through. Soon, it felt like the room began to sh
