LOGINSovia’s POV“That’s not possible.” “I know. Why would Grandfather leave the entire pack and its resources to you?” Something is not adding up. The tension refused to quench. But the words Lydia said to me stayed. But what if it was true? That would explain why she was so fixed on controlling me. But why? I’m her daughter. Why would I care about the pack? And why did Grandfather leave it to me? “Don’t worry. Whatever is going on… I don’t think she can do much.” “Why is that?” “According to the rules binding women in Babel, once married, every property and resource will be headed by their mate. I don’t think Zadekiah would work with our mother. She can’t get her hands on your inheritance.” “Yeah… but that would explain why she is so fixed on me marrying Janova. They are partners.” “Yes,” Lydia exhaled as she started folding the papers. “And she might not stop until she gets control of you again. I’m sorry for saying this, but currently we are at a disadvantage. You ne
Sovia’s POVFated mate? No… that’s not possible. “Sovia!” Lydia. That was her voice. I wanted to scream after her. But the wolf had me pinned down. And it looked like it didn’t have any intention of letting me go. Its breath was hot against my face. A faint thread of energy seemed to stretch between us, tugging somewhere deep inside my chest. I wondered if this wolf could feel it. Then its head lowered. I pressed my head back into the dust, like it could keep me away from him. Its nose sniffed, taking in my scent. Moon Goddess, what was going on? “Sovia! Where are you?” Lydia’s voice yelled, this time closer. I could already hear the sound of twigs snapping and the cry of her arrival. The wolf growled, his attention shifted towards the sound. Then Lydia came into view and froze when she saw me under the massive wolf. The torch light in her arm trembled. “Oh my gods, Sovia!” “Lydia, go!” I screamed. The wolf breathed, ready to charge after her, but swiftly I took the dagg
Zadekiah’s POVA week. That was how long I hadn’t seen Sovia. It’s not like I didn’t want to see her… but I feared what was going to happen if I did. I’d forget. Just like the way I always do when it comes to her. Did I hate Sovia? I did—with every living fiber in my body. But… There was always a but when it came to Sovia. For these days, I’ve been inside my study, sketching, and the only thing that came to me was Sovia. Her perfect round eyes. And her lips, which were shaped as though the Moon Goddess herself had blessed them. Her long red curls…Knock! Knock! Knock! The pencil in my hand froze. I sat up straight, catching Isaac’s scent from the door. “Go. Away.” The door creaked open anyways, then slowly Isaac came into view. His suit was immaculate without any parts out of place. Both hands were placed behind his back as the sound of his heels struck the floor. Slowly. Carefully. “Alpha.” “If you don’t have news on Minister Victor, I’d suggest you leave.
Zadekiah’s POV I almost laughed. That shouldn’t be considered some new thing. Even though I knew she had a hidden agenda for choosing me as her mate. A foolish—foolish part of me hoped that she might… Might what? Like me? Care? My grip on her fingers slid away from hers and then I rose. She was just like my family. I found it strange that she would leave Janova and come to me. Turns out it was for this. “Is there anything else I should know about my mate?” The healer, still trembling, passed the scroll to me. “Everything you need to know is here. But according to what I read, Her Highness will wake… though it might take some time.” He paused. “But the needles… a few have broken into her system…. it’s dangerous. If not dissolved, it might shorten her lifespan. She might die.” Those words struck me. Hard. I lifted my gaze to Isaac and gave a nod. He escorted the healer outside. I stared at the scroll, cheeks burning the more I looked closer. She might be dying.
Zadekiah’s POV“Heretics are called Blood Wolves. They are born with both wolf and witch blood,” the healer explained. “But one side is usually stronger than the other.” “If the wolf side is dominant, the child is considered dangerous, so their wolf is sealed and bound to prevent them from losing control.”My breath hitched as I listened to this reveal. My gaze narrowed as I looked at Sovia's unconscious form.“And what if the witch's blood is dominant?” The healer didn’t say anything. The room went quiet as though there was not a single living thing in sight. “if the witch's blood becomes dominant...” He hesitated. “They are burned.”So all this time, when she was hurt… she suffered so much. No wolf to keep her warm. Heal her wounds. No wonder her body was already so cold. Did she know? Maybe she did. And she didn’t tell me. «How could she? You treat her like garbage.» Zion fumed through our mind-link. “Not now, Zion,” I exhaled. One hand ran over my face as I exhaled.
Sovia’s POV If this continued he was going to kill her. I had to put a stop to the madness… but how? He never listened to anyone. Zadekiah’s life was in danger and it would be because the royal family won't hesitate to use this against him.. The last thing I wanted was to incur more debts. I moved. Pain bloomed around my shoulders from where the whip had latched. Blood and sweat mixed with my scent. “Zadekiah, let her go. Don’t do this.” Princess Livia’s struggle was beginning to soften. Tears filled her eyes, red with fear. And Zadekiah… he just kept his hand locked around her throat. I knew he was not going to stop. A thought flashed through my mind. I nearly shoved it aside, but it was worth a try. My hand found my chest. “Zadekiah… I’m hurt. Please help me.” He froze. I was stunned that it actually got his attention. He turned to me for the first time. Those blue wolf eyes were lined with fury, his wolf still evidenced under his skin. Now that I had his atten
