IVY’S POV“It’s time to go” I whisper to myself in my dark room. I had attended the crowning ceremony and marriage ceremony of Asher and Taika. Asher didn’t stop staring at me, or rather I’d say I didn’t stop staring at him. He isn’t my mate, but I don’t know why I feel this connection with him. I don’t even know what it is, but there is a connection. I had to slip away when he continued looking at me. Seeing him with Taika broke my heart more and more than it is already broken. I was with my mask so at least he didn’t see my scary face. I rushed out of the gathering back here because I noticed Taika realized he was looking towards my direction. I don’t want any more complications with her. Everybody is at the ceremony and just a few pack members are left home and unfortunately my mom as well is home. I have to leave tonight. I don’t care that I don’t have money, but any way is a way. I have already packed my bag the last time so I’m just waiting for the best time to scram. It’s now

Taika’s POV I return home late in he night after visiting Penelope. I tip toe into the room. My heart beats hard because I know Asher might know that I’m back.I grab the door and push it slowly. My eyes is closed and one prayer point of mine is that the door shouldn’t creak. It seems the moon goddess is in alignment with me this time because the door doesn’t squeak. I clamp my teeth together and make the first step into the house. I sniffle but I don’t get a scent. I raise my brows and free my muscles.I waltz into the room more bold. I place my hand on the bed, there is nobody. “Asher” I call but there is no response. “Fuck” I cuss and wag my head. I sit on the bed and place my forehead in my hands. And where can he be at this time of the night?I ponder on my main threat, Ivy. My plan was just to kill her if not that Penelope had told me some weeks back that I need her or else the spell on Asher is not going to work.I recline on the bed and close my eyes. How the hell am I going t

ASHER’S POV“Asher!“ Luna Matilda calls. I spread my eye brows and gawk at her. Her face is frowned and her lips clipped.I say nothing but out of respect,move a step further. She remains silent with her eyes piercing straight into mine.“You know I hate you,right?” She spews. My heart sinks to my stomach. My face remains emotionless. I give no sign of anger of irk. She moves a step closer, poking her face right in mine.“I am never going to see you as the Alpha of the great silver moon pack. You are not worthy to have that name attached to your disgusting and worthless name. You are not a full blood of this pack and I am very sure the moon goddess is going to humiliate you at the right time” she infuriates me more. I speak nothing but push my rage back and stand as though I am not affected by her words even a little. “In case you have forgotten, YOU ARE A BASTARD!” She points her finger straight into my face. “Warlock should be the Alpha and leader of this pack. He has the blessin

ASHER’S POVI run my hand on my face, brushing on the edges of my cheeks. I inhale and push out the air heavily. Standing up from the bed, I crack my knuckles and swipe my fingers into my hair. I think it’s evening time as the brightness of the sun is quite dim. I stand up from the bed and whine my waist. The first thing my eyes jams is the mask which I had dropped beside the bed when I impromptu slept off.I pick it up and slide my palm on it softly. It’s a black mask with stripes of white and grey, pulling from the top to the bottom. It’s quite uncertain what the purpose is. But there is this connection I feel with it, but I don’t really understand.I rest myself on the bed once more, still gawking at the mask. Who is this girl? She coming to my alpha ceremony yesterday has made it known to me that seeing her on the mountain hills isn’t some coincidence. I’m sure she is up to something and that’s why she ran away when I asked her who she was. The only way I can find out who she

TAIKA’S POV“I missed you” I turn abruptly and wrap my hands around Asher. I sheath my face with his chest. At last, my obsession for good fuck is going to come to past.“I’m not Asher '' this voice echoes. I promptly shift backwards and break my clinginess with the person. I stare at the face a little tense.“Warlock?” I drawl in shock. Some flush of anger grips me. “ What are you doing here?” I bash at him in rage. “I mean I didn’t know you are the one” I rephrase my words and reduce my tone. I shouted at first. I don’t want to pass a different message him. As much as I don’t like him and his stupid mother, they all still do not need toknow that. At least not now.“I’m sorry. The thing is I came to see Asher, but I guess he is not around” he says and shrugs. Even in the dark, I can still see his shining eyes. I inhale and his scent is right in my lungs. How then did I not know at first that it wasn’t Asher’s scent? “Oh. I haven’t seen him as well. I thought you were the one and th
