로그인Rivenna's rampage was unexpected,the moment Vaughn had heard her desperate voice through the mind bond,he left everything to run to her side as nothing else mattered in that moment .Vaughn had held Rivenna close, whispering soft nothings to her, trying to calm her beast down.Each touch to her body felt like she was hot as burning steel."I'm here," he whispered, her ear quivering from his familiar voice as her inner beast finally calmed and she was back to her normal state and then fell unconscious.The alpha had then spent long hours staring at her sleeping frame, knowing how much he hated seeing her paranoid and anxious.And more than ever, he was protective of any distractions that would try to set Rivenna off again.Knowing she already still had too little time to train her shift from her spiralling emotions,Vaughn couldn't help but blame himself.Only if he had spoken up sooner and not tried to hide the fact that her memory was erased about her first shift.Right now, he fel
RIVENNA’S POV**I lost it. I thought I had enough control not to let my emotions get the best of me.The moment Vagnar had tried to use my family and my best friend Olena's freedom to threaten me,I had let go of all my inhibitions, and I didn't know where that power came from.My new found strength had struck me like lightning, and before I knew it, I was on Vagnar, my hands at his throat.The hard red gash lines stained his tan skin where my hands pushed further.I could barely control the anger in me. Not until I heard him calling my name,“Just what the hell are you... Rivenna!" He choked through my hold, my eyes widening as I moved back.What was this? What was happening to me?I stared at my hands, which had grown talon-like claws, and then towards the Lycan prince who stared at me.But instead of fear in his features, I saw him intrigued, as if he were trying to study me and what I was.“You are… fucking fascinating! Is this why my brother chose you? What are you?" He said to
34---“Rivenna, what are you doing?” Vaughn's voice boomed through their mind link.“I'm okay. I'm fine. It's just sparring with Vagnar."“He won't go easy on you. He's been wanting this. Don't you get it? It’s all fun and games to him to mess with you."“I'm okay, I promise; just don’t break his bones after this." She sent down the bond,even though she didn't look at her mate. She could tell his eyes were on her.She climbed onto the stage as whispers of surprise began to spread through the new troops who watched. Luna really wanted to fight the prince."Prince Vagnar is talented, and this would end in Luna getting hurt," they said, just as Darian also froze, looking at Vagnar and then at then the Luna, who nodded."I'm fine. I want to do this." She assures the beta as The whistle blew. She had expected Vagnar to attack.But he just stood waiting for her like a predator who knew his prey would be the first to attack. What were these mind games?She questioned through the bond, and
What did you just say?” Vaughn's voice came out as a snarl. But Vagnar didn't move.His eyes were on Rivenna, his gaze unreadable, but his lips curled in a mischievous smirk.“Be calm, Alpha King. Remember where you are in front of the new training pups and your walls. All of them already feel agitated.Seeing you are with them on a training ground and it seems more unfavorable to teach your Luna, who is basically a wolf-less pup on her own,”He shrugs, knowing he was unnerving his brothers patience."It would be seen as favoritism." Vagnar shrugged, and apart from Darian, you know I am one of the best warriors. His tone was smug.“Even better than your beta, even, and we will test that nowhere, so leave me to her. What did you say, Luna?”Vagnar turned to Rivenna, who stared at the Lycan male. She couldn't fully tell what Vagnar was thinking.But for now, she was still trying to figure out if he was about to take revenge on her pack and her brother.And so she did the only thing plau
Silence loomed between the two women as Dahlia stood, her words paused. Her movements were stiff.Her eyes widened, as she had almost slipped a secret that she shouldn't have said.While Rivenna's suspicious gaze held Dahlias grumbling backbone,"What do you mean by that?" Rivenna asks her.And then Dahlia took a step, almost stumbled back, her eyes blinking fast as she stuttered out her words."I-I don't have to tell you anything. Because you would use it against me again?You would blame me for worrying and being afraid for my own son's safety and embarrassing me in front of the elders and the king?" Dahlia said.“Just say you hate me, Luna Rivenna. Just say you hate what I stand for and what my son stands for," she bragged.Rivenna stared at her, confused at what she meant, but just as Dahlia was about to speak,A large shadow came and cut through both of them. Darian's eyes spoke volumes of anger as he gripped Dahlia's arms."What do you think you're doing?" he hissed, and Dahlia
“Crown Prince Vagnar, are you sure of your claims?” Elder Landen argued, panic in his tone.“Remember, this is to charge the shewolf Luna for almost killing your own nephew, and you're trying to say she's innocent?”“Yes, I am sure of my words, elder." He shrugged nonchalantly , earning shocked gazes from the crowd.None ever expected him not to be on Rivenna's side and be a witness.“Oh, you see, I had woken up with no maids in my room, and my eyes had then wandered in amazement when the snow began to fall.”I couldn't help my eyes trace my dear sister-in-law when she walked into the backyard.She had run recklessly to the pond, calling out for the naive boy who paid no mind.And a moment later I heard a splash. Looking over, I found Adrian had fallen into the pond.” He said so calmly.But Dahlia stood, seething at Vagnar's words. “Then why did you help? Why didn’t you do anything?” She questioned with gritted teeth.“As you can see, I was still incapacitated by that time, so I could
