Leo's POV "This is beyond us, no one has heard anything about the silver wolf" one of the elders whispered to me as we made our way out of the palace. "How did you know about that?" I demanded, knowing that I had struggled to keep the information under wraps. "Even the walls have ears, your majesty. If you are looking to find the silver wolf, you must be prepared to join the line. For several years, a lot of people have searched for the wolf, but not one of them has succeeded." He said and I had a feeling that he knew a lot more than he was letting on."So how do you think I should go about my search?" I asked him. "There is one who can summon the wolf. If you find the wolf summoner, you have found the silver wolf" he said, his eyes gleaming with pride. "Alright. How do I find the wolf summoner?" I asked him. "Rumors have it that above the mountains, in between the waters, you will find a shadow lurking" he answered but I was even more confused than I had been. "What do you mea
Maria's POV "And you are sure about what you saw?" Elijah asked me and I nodded my head. "I think we should move her somewhere else. Keep it away from everyone for a while and see what happens. I have tried to tell her that it is nothing but as you can see, that has not worked" Elvira said as she unwrapped the apparatus for checking my heart rate from my arm. "Guys, I'm serious. I know what I saw, but it's fine. I don't mind changing my house at this point. It is beginning to hold a lot of memories that I am not willing to keep." I added tiredly. "I'll have you moved before night falls. Just take your personal items," Elijah said, and I nodded my head. The two of them left me after fawning over me for another hour. I was tired and all I wanted to do was to have a quick nap. I had a slow breakfast and a quick bath, wanting to sleep as soon as I could before I started packing my things. Suddenly I felt it, a strange presence in the room that immediately made me have chills. I stoo
Maria's POV I had a feeling that something bad was going to happen today. Alexia had not come back to the house to even get her things, but I knew that this bad feeling was not coming from there. Something else that wasn't pleasant was going to happen and I instantly lost my peace, letting the panic take over. The knock on my door shook me to my marrow as I nearly passed out from the shock. I pulled myself together and went to the door, not even bothering to check through the peephole. I gasped when I saw Nathan standing in front of the house, a gaping wound with blood pouring down his shoulder. "What happened to you?" I asked, my voice breathless and the amount of blood making me feel nauseated. "Please help me." He begged, his voice weakened from the blood loss. I knew that if I didn't do anything immediately, he might lose his life. I decided to just administer first aid. "Come inside," I said and double-checked after him to make sure that he wasn't being followed by his attac
Elizabeth's POVMy legs shook unsteadily as I made my way to Nathan's chambers. This wasn't good. Elijah had caught me with the boy servant. I knew that our relationship was over, but I needed every edge I could hold on to—something that would keep me here. "Why do you look like that?" Nathan asked as soon as our eyes met. "He caught me with the boy; our plan is over," I said, hoping that I could use what I knew he wanted most to get him to do one favor for me. "I told you from the beginning that it was a dumb idea, he already doesn't like you and you are doing everything possible to make sure he hates you more. That man practically wants you gone and he wants me to take you with me. Which is actually him being generous as opposed to having you disgraced out of the palace" he said and my body shivered at the possibility of that. "But you know if I leave, your one chance at being the Alpha is taken back to point zero. I just need you to get me in and I will handle the rest" I said
Elijah's POV Even though Maria had sworn that she wasn't hurt and didn't want to have anything to do with Nathan, I still couldn't help but feel that she wasn't being honest. Elizabeth's betrayal didn't help matters and no matter how much I tried not to think about her as dirty, my mind kept going back to her reassuring words as she convinced a mere guard to have sex with her. "How am I sure you still have no hand in this? I mean the girls are not talking to me anymore but somehow they are still cool with you even though we are friends?" Nathan said and I shook my head, pulling myself back to the conversation that had made me drift in the first place. "Look, Nathan, I am not a child. I told you that you were an adult and you could make whatever choice you see fit" I told him as I continued to sip my drink. "I know you heard my sister that night, I'm not telling her anything because I respect you both to know what is best for you two." He said and I looked at him, wondering what th
Leo's POV The dreams were becoming a daily occurrence now, every night, I was plagued by the awareness that there was something out there whose destiny was to kill me. Getting a seer had not helped too as the only thing it had done was to increase my anxiety. Bravery was a fallacy when you didn't know what exactly was coming for you. I paced on my balcony, a place that has become my solace in the past few days. Sophia was continuously nagging me about what the seer had said but I couldn't tell her, I didn't feel the need to let her know the inner turmoil that was going on inside of me. The council has spoken to me about the curb of attacks caused by the ghost hunters. It was a relief, a bright light in the darkness that has enshrined me in its cocoon since the nightmares began. Each time, I worked up enough courage to fight the silver wolf, it defeated me like I was nothing, rendering me powerless with wounds like a common soldier in battle. The fear I felt each time deepened by th
