Damien's point of view: It had been about four hours, and the image of my mate and I fighting couldn't leave my mind. What was I thinking when I said those words to her? "Do you always have to be that annoying type of person? Why don't you take care of things related to you? For example, learn how to fix your hair, dress up like a lady, not a teenager escaping from school. How about you call your own mother and occupy yourself with your nonsense, like a normal she-wolf does?" And the way she pleaded... I wanted to stop and apologize, but the beast inside me took control. It was in charge while I was hurting her. "Damien! You're hurting me!" I thought I was done losing control, but not when I heard her name. I never got to meet her in person, yet she was always there in my life. She was the reason why I couldn't and still can't be who I'm supposed to be. I'm not the person I used to be anymore, and I don't want to be. If I had known that he would take control again, I would have n

Laura's point of view: But working out with your mate can be somewhat romantic. I still remember jumping like a five-year-old kid when Damien told me he would start training me. Well, I didn't picture myself running twenty laps around the palace. Even as a werewolf, it's still challenging to do. Yet, it's better than spending your entire day in a room. We recently agreed to prioritize communication. So he explained to me why I wasn't allowed to leave the room alone. Selene's father is not someone to mess with, and he still hasn't accepted the humiliation his daughter experienced. As one of the two king's sons, he is a crowned prince. This means he has a fifty percent chance of becoming the king and another fifty percent chance of losing the title to his brother, then being forced to leave the palace. If he wants to secure the throne, he needs strong allies who will guarantee his right to be the next king. Otherwise, he and his brother will have a fight, and the winner will becom

Laura's point of view: When Damien returned to the room, he found me asleep. He woke me up while laughing at how he found me. The dress I'm wearing is the same one Mery wore on her ritual day. "Who picked that dress for me?" I asked Damien, and he proudly answered. "My mother, she specifically picked it for you." "I don't want it!" I said as I sat up and took the dress off. "What's wrong with you? She was trying to be nice." "Trying really hard for what?" I retorted. "Your mother is anything but nice. Do you have any idea who wore that dress before me? Do you know what she meant by returning that necklace to me?" "Wait... Wait... She was here?" "Yes, she was..." I was going to tell him everything that happened, but I decided against it. If I told him, I would have to explain the dreams, which I had no idea about. "You know what? Forget about it. Blue was never my color." He ran his hand through his hair and started speaking. "You know better! You women are hard to understan

Damien's point of view: A year ago, I wasn't supposed to return to the palace quite early. A meeting was scheduled to be held in the Shadow Pack, New York. Alpha Jonathan passed away, leaving a couple of male twins in his wake. One of them would have to take over the alpha position after him. Meanwhile, the other one had to leave or die. Cruel, I guess... Still, that's how our world is. The strongest ones survive, while the weak ones die. I was supposed to represent the palace and be a witness to the fight for the alpha leadership position. But that's not what happened. One of the twins, Jacob, if I remember his name correctly. He found his mate, Jasmine, daughter of Asher, the alpha of the Silver Moon pack, who happened to have one and only daughter. Long story short, Jacob joined his mate and decided to lead her pack as the new alpha, leaving the shadows for his twin brother, Joshua. Due to these circumstances, my trip was canceled. I would be lying if I denied how excited I

Damien's point of view: Her eyes shut tightly as life left her body. A terrible pain covered my entire body, while all I could have done was growl as loudly as I could. My wolf was on the verge of anger, and I wasn't able to control him. I felt pain and wanted everyone around me to feel the same pain I was feeling. I had been through pain my entire life, and it wasn't fair. She was the antidote to my misery, the light that shared the lashes of hope. I finally hoped to have a normal life. You don't have any idea how hard my life has been. Although I tried nothing but to stick with the proper side, My entire life has been nothing but a joke. I've been shunned by my father for not being the son of his lover but his forced mate. My mother, the Queen, thinks that I'm nothing without Selene and her family's support. She also believes that if I have to face my half-brother, I'll end up dead. She didn't even hide the fact that she wished Allan was her own instead of me. In fact, break
