Aurora's POV

Since I heard about the South Faction, I haven't been in my right frame of mind.

I had overheard the maids talking about it, else, I had no idea what Asher was up to.

Pacing about my chambers, I felt my heart shredding into pieces. Life was literally seeping from me with each passing second.

Plopping on the couch, I buried my head into my hand, brainstorming on the possible reasons why Asher decided to shove me into the wolf lair.

“Tell me, have the rumors been confirmed by the council?" I asked Mira, my maid.

“Yes, my Lady. The announcement was made this evening in the council hall.” She affirmed.

Grabbing the arm of the couch, I tried all I could not to yell my lungs out. My eyes were burning with tears and my heart beat was becoming erratic.

Since it came to my notice, I had been waiting for Asher to come to my chambers.

From what I heard, the south faction was the second largest faction and most powerful in the pack. They were responsible for the pack’s wealth

    Aurora’s POVWith my hands crossed on my chest, I was pacing in the courtyard outside the infirmary building.My heart was thudding in my chest. It was so loud that I was certain it was the only noise that surrounded me. For the past few hours, I had been outside, not because I wanted to isolate myself but because I was trying to maintain my cool. My head hurts and my spinning thoughts weren't helping a bit. Ever since I woke up, Asher had refused to speak to me, like really speak to me.We only greeted ourselves when we walked past each other in the hallway and it was always brief and without any emotion.Though we were not talking, he was there, hovering protectively, always in the shadows and watching every movement I made like he was terrified I would disappear again. But every time I tried to tell him what really happened, how I didn’t know what Miller was planning, how I had been tricked at the party, he shut me out.He wouldn't even look me in the eyes."Asher, please…" I h

    Reader’s POVScarlet's heels clicked against the tiled floor as she stormed out of her room, her eyes blazing with barely contained fury. The news of Asher storming into Miller’s party had traveled faster than expected. Gavin was unconscious? — This was the news that greeted her that morning. She didn’t need to be told twice before she sprung into action. With her heart in her mouth, she crossed the border into his pack grounds. The guards who were loitering about didn't acknowledge her but that was the least of her concern.With each step she took further into the pack house, her fingers twitched. She was heading towards the infirmary section where Gavin was reportedly being treated. That idiot had been my pawn, my carefully groomed piece on the board and now, he had ruined everything. — She thought, her eyes burning with anger. Her thoughts screeched to a halt when she caught sight of her.Elsie, Gavin's mate She was standing tall and proud just outside the infirmary building

    Asher’s POVEarlier, I shoved it aside that I was overreacting but not anymore. I could feel it deep in my bones, it was glaring that something was wrong.For the past fifteen minutes, I had been trying to keep calm but I found myself pacing back and forth in my study, unable to concentrate on the reports in front of me. The numbers blurred together as my thoughts kept drifting back to Aurora again and again. I had told myself several times that she would be fine and that she didn’t need me hovering over her all the time but every instinct in me screamed otherwise.When I looked out the window toward the distant lights of the party venue, I clenched my jaw as a cold unease was spreading through my chest.It was sharp and unrelenting and so I couldn’t ignore it any longer.Seething, I slammed the file shut and strode out of the room.The moment I stepped outside, the night air slapped my sweaty face. “Are you going somewhere?" Talen asked behind me.“Yes," I replied and the next min

    Aurora’s POVThe lights were bright but now, they seemed brighter, blinding even. My limbs grew heavy and my heartbeat was strangely loud in my ears. It was as if everything was moving in slow motion.“Miller…” I said, gripping the edge of the table. “What… what was in that drink?” I burped, trying to stay conscious. Miller didn't reply, her head was tilted around and just when she was going to leave the table, I reached out and grabbed her arm.That instant, her smile faltered and it was replaced with an irritated look.Pushing the thought aside after ruling it out that it was my mind making up scenarios for me, I leaned forward. “The juice, I think something was inside." “What are you talking about?" She sounded alarmed. Helping me back on my chair, she looked around before returning her gaze to me.“Why are you insinuating that?" She snapped. Taking a deep breath, she gave my hand a soft squeeze, “I’m sorry for sounding the way I did. For the drink, I swear, I didn't put anyth

    Reader’s POVA month later…The moment Asher saw Miller at the entrance of his study, he shifted his gaze somewhere else, pretending to be busy but beneath the surface, he was simmering with anger.For the past few days, she had made it a point of duty to always pay him a visit and repeating the same request over and over again. It was about a party she has shown interest in and so she had been urging Asher to allow Aurora to be in attendance which he had blatantly refused to. When she brought up the topic at first, Asher was present and so without wasting time, he refused. He didn't even allow Aurora to air her mind. Ignoring the frown on his face, Miller waddled her way into the study, halting just in front of the table he was sitting behind.“Please, I know you are still mad at me. I deserve it." She mumbled, biting her lower lips.“I don't want to have this conversation with you, why don't you get it?" He snarled. Falling back on his seat, he covered his face with his palm an

    Asher’s POVThe sound of bones snapping got to my ear and for a split second, I was staring into space, trying to wrap my head about what I just heard.At first, it was a single snap but as seconds ticked by it became two per second. This time, I couldn't ignore it so I dash out only to see Aurora shoving the guards aside like they weighed nothing.I wanted to go after her and stop her but my feet were glued to the ground. My wolf wasn't helping, it kept growling and howling as it begged for release After clearing off everyone on her path, Aurora switched into her wolf form for the first time in front of me. She was huge, standing over four feet on her fours. Her fur was pure white with a single gray line in her underbelly. Without a backward glance, she leapt into the night. I was going to go after her immediately but Talen suddenly showed up. “Hudson’s still lurking around in the pack, we need to get rid of him before he simulates another attack.” "Deal with it, but don't kill
