Chapter 40 - Two sides scheming.
GabriellaGabriella knew that something was seriously wrong the moment the border patrol informed her that Melody was back. They ran out to meet her and, from the looks of things, Melody had a tough journey back. Melody told them what happened on their way back to the main house and Gabriella couldn’t help but be furious at her friend for taking such a huge risk with her life! If the Wolf King had caught her, she would be dead!Matthew rushed over and pulled Melody into his arms and breathed in her scent and Gabriella laughed as a soft growl escaped from the poor guy. He had been pacing up and down the passage in the main house all morning while waiting to hear from Melody. He was driving all of them insane and Gabriella was relieved that her friend was back safely. Unfortunately, she told them that she had given a date for her fake wedding, which meant they didn’t have a lot of time to get their army together.Then there was also the alpha, who wouldn’t believe that the king was plan

Chapter 41 - Needing him!
GabriellaThings between Gabriella and Lucienne were getting complicated. In most instances, the male was the alpha, and the female his tame Luna by his side. Whenever they met with other alphas, she would be sidestepped and the other males would automatically speak to Lucienne, but she could overlook that most of the time. What she couldn’t overlook was when they point blank ignored her advice!She was thinking about it while walking down the aisle of one of the many interesting stores looking for fake wedding things. Yet another thing she felt awfully guilty about! Even if Melody was madly in love with Eli, Gabriella knew they didn’t belong together. It was a gut feeling she just had each time she saw them together. She wondered if it had something to do with the fact that they knew he was mixed up in whatever the Wolf King was doing or if her powers told her that something just wasn’t right. She scoffed at her own thoughts. They knew something wasn’t right!“Hey,” Venus joined her

Chapter 42 - A war or a wedding or a wedding or a war ...
MelodySince her wedding was a fake, she knew that it wouldn’t make any difference if she actually had sex with Matthew, but the reality of their situation did make its way through her thoughts and finally brought her back to her senses. This wouldn’t just be sex with Matthew. Matthew wasn’t just any guy. She pushed him away, breaking their heated kiss, and swam to the dock. Lifting herself out of the water, she took a seat and calmed her breathing. Matthew looked utterly confused and she could understand why, but she was trying to figure out how to explain how she was feeling toward him.“Do you love him?” His voice pushed its way through her thoughts and she burst out laughing.“NO! I could never love Eli. Matthew, it’s not that. You are probably going to laugh but it feels as if I’m cheating on you.” She sighed, feeling as if she wasn’t explaining it right, but that was the best way to explain it.“Uhm …” Matthew sat down beside her and she noticed how his gorgeously sculpted abdom

Chapter 43 - The first of many battles to win the war.
GabriellaThey had been keeping an eye on the king the entire time since he arrived and he was just looking way too smug for Gabriella’s liking. Her patrols also let her know that there was something moving in the forest on the edge of the clearing. It could only be his men, but if her people moved too soon, the king could say that they had provoked an attack, so they had to wait until he made his move. Gabriella was just about to stop the ceremony when they heard the growl of a pack of wolves charging from the forest. She almost thanked the goddess out loud as she saw the king shift.For a moment, Gabriella wondered if he was going to let the ceremony finish before attacking and she really couldn’t put her friend through that! People were running and screaming as the wolves came closer, but the nightshade pack was ready for them. Gabriella and Lucienne shifted at the same time as the moment they came face to face with the red-eyed king.“What is wrong with him?” Lucienne asked throug

Chapter 44 - Love and hate and everything in between.
The Wolf King“Ah, Magnus, just the person I was looking for. Have you taken good care of our guest?” He smiled, but he honestly didn’t care what happened to the female wolf. The females were weak, or maybe that was where he had made his mistake in his approach to the fight with this pack. Female alphas were incredibly rare and, from what he heard, this pack had a female alpha. What was even more astonishing was that she had a mate that clearly wasn’t the alpha. What kind of male allowed a female to rule over him?“Magnus, what would you say if I told you, I could make you even stronger?” The king still wasn’t sure if it was the right idea, but surely, if he had only a couple of wolves that were as strong as he was … He smiled as Magnus’s face lit up. At the moment, everything was pretty unsure and he needed every advantage he could get his hands on. That meant he had no other choice but to have one or two or even three of his wolves turned into whatever it was he was. He took Magnus

Chapter 45 - A plan to save Zion.
Gabriella“Do you really think this is a good idea?” Lucienne was worried about the pack and Gabriella could understand why, but she had to save her friend, didn’t she? Besides, they had witches and a demi-god on their side, but he wanted to know if giving more lives just to save one was worth it. She understood where he was coming from. They didn’t even know if Zion was still alive, and could she really ask her pack to fight and possibly give up their lives or the lives of their loved ones just so they could save her friend?She had to think about this more. It was one of those impossible decisions she had to make as the alpha of the pack. She knew her pack would fight if she asked, but did she even have the right to ask them this? Walking through the forest, she tried to think of another way to get Zion back without any of her pack had to put their lives in danger, but this was a dog-eat-dog world they lived in. Killing and dying were part of who they were.In the end, she had no ot

Chapter 46 - Everything goes wrong!
Gabriella Melody portaled them into the first room and they looked around quickly before moving on to the next. Lucienne was leading a search party on the floor below them and Matthew was leading a group on the ground floor while their pack was busy setting off all sorts of explosions just outside the wall of the so-called castle. With each room they checked, Gabriella realized more and more that there were clearly no females in this awful place! She was growing more nervous by the minute that they wouldn’t find Zion, and if they didn’t … Melody told her not to think like that and Gabriella realized she had actually said it out loud. They portaled into the last room and Gabriella’s heart broke. She had hoped they would be the ones to find Zion. Melody looked around the room for a moment before opening the portal again and they stepped through right into the living room of Melody’s parents’ home. Her mom was waiting in anticipation and her face fell for a moment when Melody shook her

Chapter 47 - A steep price to pay.
GabriellaThey were all sitting in Melody’s parents’ living room discussing where Zion could be when they heard a ruckus from outside. As they piled out of the door, they found the magical guard shoving and pushing people around the camp while ordering them all to pack. Eli was at the head of his group of men and his attention turned to them instantly.“Your pack has been banned from the homelands.” Eli frowned as if he didn’t entirely agree with the decision, but he didn’t say anything. Gabriella grabbed Melody as she pushed past Gabriella, probably on her way to telling Eli his fortune. Eli looked sadly at Melody before something sparked in his eyes. He asked if they could talk privately and reminded Gabriella that they had to leave the homelands.Gabriella didn’t like Eli talking to her friend privately, but only because she hated herself for putting her friend through all of this in the first place.They went upstairs to pack and as soon as she heard Melody next door, she went to

Chapter 48 - The war begins.
GabriellaGabriella stood on the balcony looking out at the forest below. There was something unholy brewing in the air, so much so that she could feel it. She wondered why the king suddenly felt this need to kill all of them and then she wondered who made the final decision that they should leave the homelands. It made sense, the wedding was off, but she never imagined that the magical people would just chase someone away. Something told her that the king had something to do with it, and she sighed.She was tired after a day of meetings with her elder council and some of the neighbouring alphas. It seemed her neighbours were divided about believing her. Even if she could show them proof, she was sure that those who were on the side of the king would stay on his side even when he came for their packs. She had moved back from the city just in time for a damn war, and the thought sparked an idea. Lucienne had just brought some coffee when she grabbed the mug, planted a kiss on his cheek

Chapter 49 - Rotten, inside and out!
GabriellaGabriella paced her office trying to figure out what to do next. Thankfully, most of the alphas they spoke to believed what they were telling them. She was just so damn concerned about what Melody might do because of her parents. She really didn’t want to see her dear friend or her family hurt in the middle of this fight. Then there was also Zion. Where the hell had she disappeared?! Gabriella wouldn’t dare to say it out loud, but she was convinced it was just another one of the King’s ways of showing her pack that he could do whatever the hell he wanted and they couldn’t do anything about it. Well, she was going to show him!The Wolf King had made his first really big move and the stories about the homelands quickly spread. Before Gabriella could catch her breath, people from all walks of the supernatural world started pouring into her territory and they had to let them in. The stories people had to tell were just horrific! It seemed as though the word was spreading that he
