"Milady," her handmaid said as she slowly came through her room's door. "Shall I bring in your morning meal now?"

Elsa wished that the memories of the night before would quickly pass away, but then they seemed like they would linger around for a while. Everything seemed to remind her of her thoughtless, impulsive actions the night before.

Her handmaid reminded her of how she had senselessly offered herself as anything he wanted her to be, just so she could get a taste of him. It was unimaginable, the things she had said at the height of her ecstasy. She wished she could reclaim her dignity, which she had thrown into the wind during the night.

"Milady?" Jia gently called her back into the moment.

"Just let me be, Jia!" She snarled, taking out her anger on her innocent maid. She just wanted to be left alone with her thoughts, as she had been rejected by Lucian just like she had done her maid there and then. "Goodness..." She winced to herself as she was still hurting.

    “Oh sorry… I didn't know you both were here,” Elsa fumed out of the room, in anger, although she didn't show it outwardly. She had left the letter on the table before storming out of the room.“I've had enough,” she roared at her wolf. “I cannot keep up with trying to be nice to Anna while I watch Lucian slip out of my hands. You see how badly your plan had failed, Audra?”“Calm down,” Audra retorted. “You were not meant to walk in on that moment, in the first place. Just calm down.”“I'm done with calming down and taking things lightly,” Elsa snapped back at her, as she slammed her door shut behind her. “I'm going to make it happen my own way.” She sighed as she threw herself on her bed. “One more fake smile and I might just lose it already.”“I understand your pain,” Audra spoke to her suggestively. “You have been patient for quite a long time, and I guess that's weighing on you.”“Of course, it's weighing on me,” Elsa said. “Each day of the past three years has passed, only to brin

    “I bet Craster should be thinking of giving up by now,” Lucian stated as Carlyle followed him from behind. “I don't think there's any way out of this for him. We have closed down every possible route for him and his men to gain supplies.”“That foolhardy bastard doesn't look like one who would give up easily,” Carlyle said as opened the doors of his alpha's chamber, feeling glad to be home after yet another conquest. “We'll give him a couple of days to think about it. Maybe seven days.”“That's more than enough time to regroup and prepare for a counter-attack,” Lucian protested as they both sat at a table in his chamber. “We must strike the iron while it's still glowing hot.”“Alright then,” Carlyle suggested, letting out a tired sigh. “Five days.”“Three days. We need them on their toes, and under pressure if we want their decision to be quick, and insensible.” Lucian leaned back in his chair. “That would be yet another territory under our grasp.”“Alright then,” Carlyle said, as he

    Three Years Later…Anna wiped the blood off her sword as she looked down on the dead body in front of her. It was still surreal how she had gone from sluggish practices by the stream side to being at the forefront of the Lock Heart's bout with Craster's forces.It was yet another victory for Lucian and the Lock Heart pack, as they were just about closing in on Craster's territory.Yet another battle, she thought. All the battles seemed the same from the very first day she became approved to join Lucian's men. There was nothing new to it, as it was almost, all about going out, fighting, coming back, and waiting for the next time to repeat the whole process.At a point, it felt like Craster wasn't even putting any effort into the fights, as all their victories were almost flawless. She felt he should have just given up when he had the chance. But then, she knew how great the ego of an alpha could be to give up in a fight and give up his territory in the process. They would have to fight

    Anna's eyes opened quite slowly until she was wide awake. She had thought she had been asleep in her room until she realized that, the scent of vetiver and musk were still strong in the air she breathed.She was still a bit doubtful of where she was until she tossed to her left into the thick masculine build which could only be Lucian's. It was then that it all dawned on her, all that had happened. She had indeed fallen asleep being beside him. Her wolf seemed to be unusually peaceful.There was darkness all over, and it was a bit hard to tell if they were in the dead of the night or the early hours of the morning. It seemed to be probably the former, as they had slept off by sunset.I shouldn't be here, she thought to herself, as she shifted a bit away from him. But then, his bed was quite too comfortable, and that comfortably annulled the thoughts of sneaking out of his room.Before she could make up her mind, Lucian's arm came over her waist, as though he had read her thoughts, and

    “She was ours for the taking,” Lex ranted further.“Someone could have possibly been watching us from somewhere.” Lucian didn't want anything of that sort spreading about him. His people would possibly ask if his fortress didn't have enough room for the both of them.But then, he knew deep down within him that wasn't the main reason why he backed out from having her there and then. He couldn't care less about what the people had to say. It bothered him how much longer he could put up with the inward battle for restraint that went on within him.He wanted Anna, but then, he wanted her to give herself to him. By herself.The idea of the bargain didn't appeal to him, and he was afraid that it couldn't fill up the void that was within him. He had been searching for a mate who would be a partner and a part of everything he would ever do, and not one who would give herself to him only because of some bargain to make her stronger.But then, he was unable to deny how much he wanted her. He cr

    "Yes, it's bound to be awkward," Anna replied to her wolf, as she headed towards the stream. The familiar scent of the leaves forced her to admit that it had been quite a while, and she wondered why Lucian had chosen that place for their practice. Was he trying to bring back memories? If any memories lingered, it would be that of Horace's treachery.“It's not meant to be awkward,” Ava replied to her. “He's our mate, Anna, and you should learn to embrace that and make it easier for the both of us.”She could feel her wolf leap within her as Lucian's scent soon came subtly into the air. His essence could entice anyone.“Get a grip, Ava.” Anna tried to still her wolf, which was almost in an erratic frenzy because of Lucian's presence. She wondered what Lucian's wolf looked like. “We're here to train, and not to catch any sort of feelings.”“He smells so good…” Ava's words echoed unpleasantly in Anna's head“Just stop…” Anna couldn't get herself to say how irresistible his scent was in he
