IVY’S POVIt is night time, and I can barely stand on my feet.I have little energy in me. The soreness from the cut on my face that is not healing is becoming more worse by each passing second.The hurt is unexplainable and unimaginable. This is worse than death. My lips is dry and cracked. My eyes can barely open. My breathing is ragged and unsettled. I just wish I can die and get it all with. I’m still tied to the pillar in the middle of the furnace room. The heat from the furnace is making me sweat profusely. I’m suffocating and dying slowly because of the heat and poison. “Help…” i drawl a breeze. I’m quite certain that it’s not going to reach anyone, but then I can do nothing than try. The itch and pain erupting from trh cut on my face is intense. My mom doesn’t even care how I’m faring. Since she caught me and brought me, I haven’t seen her since after she left in the morning. It’s night time now and I still haven’t seen her. I try so hard to figure out why she doesn’t care a

ASHER’S POVAll night, I tried my best to sleep, but I couldn’t . It's the early hours of the night now and I still can’t sleep. I arise and sit on the bed. I stare straight without having a particular thing I’m staring at. The imagery of the dark giant wolf that devoured three of my pack members keeps flashing in my head. The more it happens, the more enraged I get. I constrict my fist tightly and grind my teeth. My body is shaking ferally and my eyes are not flickering.The dark eerie night makes me ponder more on this. I stand up from the bed and walk to the window opening. I hurl the curtains away from it and place my gaze outside. I just look at the steamy weather. I cannot be weak and be humiliated. I don’t even know anyone who possibly might have the guts and intention to do this. I know the Silver moon pack has numerous enemies who would do anything for my downfall but I can’t pinpoint who exactly.I really need to do something about this before it gets even worse. Just in tw

TAIKA’S POVIt’s still night time after I went to see Ivy but still Asher isn’t yet back and I have no idea at all where he is. I am on my bed with my legs crossed.. I place my back on the bed rest. My heart is pouring with rage right now. This is not what I really planned. Things aren’t going the way I planned them to. Asher is behaving as though he isn’t married to me. At this point I think I really need to pay Penelope another visit because I can’t risk losing everything. I lick my lips and shut my eyes. My heart is hitting so hard and my back aches slightly. I stand up from the bed with the aim to stretch my legs. I have been sitting on the bed for like an hour now with my eyes directed at the door all this while, waiting for Asher to work in, but I guess it has been a waste of time. I pace around the room with my hands folded and placed on my chest. I perambulate the room with my eyes still glued to the door, but still there is no one. “Oh fuck it!” I snap and walk out of the

TAIKA’S POV“What are you doing, why are you begging me?” I say and raise the servant from the floor. Thankfully, this came to my head because she knelt immediately to beg me for spilling water in my dress. Luna Matilda looks at me sternly but says nothing. She focuses back on her food. Warlock has a smile on his face as he chucks bread in his mouth. I sit down back on the chair with a sigh. Asher walks in silence. A sigh escapes my mouth as they give no reaction to my act. Thankfully, I could immediately change my mode of speech without then noticing that I was about slapping and lashing the servant girl with hateful words. “Good evening everyone” Asher greets me as he stands beside me. Luna Matilda raises her head but says nothing, rather she ducks it back into her food and hisses. “Welcome brother,” Warlock says.I remain mute and bow my head down. “Luna '' he says and places his hand on my shoulders. I raise my head gently and fall on his very big orbs. His eyes cover me and I

ASHER’S POVI feel more relieved that I have explained to the pack the problem at hand. Still, I am worried about what the dirtier holds even though I was bold with them, I am still worried because the strength of that hybrid shouldn’t be underestimated.“So Elder Nathan, I need your help once more,” I say and stand in the presence of Kyle, John, and Daniel. Elder Nathan is the oldest member of the pack and has stayed for over a century. He is tall and has grey hair.“What is it? Is it about the Hybrid? He quizzes in his baritone voice. “Yes,” I nod in reply. The rest remain mute while standing while he and I sit facing each other on the large divan. I recline backward and place my neck on the headrest.“So I want to ask about your knowledge of hybrids. Have you ever fought with one before and what are their abilities and weakness, that’s if you have?” I ask and pull forward. He stares at me sternly and sighs deeply with lips cracked and a little opening of his mouth. “Yes, I have fo
