ELENA’s POVI open my eyes to the sound of birds chirping outside my window and my lips curl up into a smile. I stretch my arms as far out as my muscles and bones allow me only to wince slightly at the pain from the wound.Oops.I must remember not to overexert myself until the wound is completely healed. Pain aside, the smile remains plastered on my face. Hunter came to me….I cannot believe it. I cup my cheeks, feeling my skin heat up from a mixture of both embarrassment and excitement.We had stayed in each other’s arms throughout the night, him just stroking my hair while I held his hand and told him about my childhood. I wish he had told me more about his though, he rarely spoke but then again, Hunter is not a man of many words and I respect him for that. And the fact that he stayed with me to quell my fears already speaks volumes.I swing my feet to the wooden floorboards and walk towards the window, pushing it wide

FREYA’s POV We wave goodbye to Hunter and his entourage. I watch as three cars, all sleek and black pull out of the mansion’s driveway and into the night, wishing that I had been in the car instead of Elena.My sister has been acting very strangely towards me ever since I told her of my intentions to become the Luna. She is probably laughing at me in the car right now, she looks down on me and I do not like that.It matters not that Hunter does not feel for me yet, I will make him want me more than anything in the world. I will become the very air that he breathes, the only sight he will see and the one being his heart will beat for. I will be his woman no matter what, I will be the Luna of the Storm Riders pack.ELENA’s POV Hunter’s car pulls up in front of the biggest building I have ever seen. This place is huge! I rub my eyes, careful not to smudge the mascara tha

ELENA’s POV   “Kai!” someone from the crowd shouts. Aiden runs back to the middle of the ballroom to check for a pulse, he shakes his head, there is none. The big bad of the north is dead, it should not have happened but it did and all eyes fall on Hunter. He gently lays Kai back onto the floor before making eye contact with Aiden. “He’s dead,” he states the obvious. Aiden nods his head silently and raises his hand, signalling for help. One of the attendees or waiter, I can’t tell the difference, they’re all dressed the same quickly exits the ballroom. I run towards Hunter, fall on my knees and cup his chin with both my hands. Tears line my eyes and blur my vision. I hate crying, but seeing him wounded like this breaks my heart. He palms my hand with his bloodied ones and shoots me a weak smile. “I’m fine,” he says. Fine my ass, his lips have gone blue and his face the colour of snow. My eyes trail to his blood-bo

FREYA’s POV Elena and Hunter. Hunter and Elena. I should be happy for them, I should give them my blessings, I should wish them nothing but happiness. I know what she went through. She never said anything to me and mother has kept mum about it but I am no fool. I know she was raped because of me. I should be grateful she volunteered to take my place. I should, but I am not. I am a monster. I want Hunter, I want him more than anything else in the world. He consumes my every waking moment and I thrive just by drinking in the sight of his beautiful face. I know it’s strange, how can I fall for a man I barely know? He hasn’t even spoken more than a few sentences to me but there’s just something about him that draws me, that makes me yearn for him. Is it his power? His devilish charm or the fact that he is unattainable? I do not know, all I know is if I can’t have him then no one can, not even Elena. I step out of the kitchen and make my w

FREYA’s POV I watch as my sister descends the stairs with Helios and the corners of my lips curl up into a smile. I cannot believe my luck, no one noticed that the pills have been tampered with. No one noticed the powder of pure silver that i laced the pills with. It seems that even the moon goddess has given me her blessings.  With the bottle in my hand, I make my way to Hunter’s room. It is time to make him mine.   ***** HUNTER’s POV I twist my body to take a better look at my back. It is gruesome, marred by scars from yesteryears’ battles and most recently from the fire in the warehouse and the wound courtesy of Kai. We werewolves heal fast but the scars will always remain to remind us of all that we had lost. I clench my jaw as I slip into a plain shirt, trying to ignore the phantom pains that gnaw at my back. A gentle knock comes at my door and for a moment, my heart soars and all pain is forgot
