Chapter 41 - The Burial Site

Daciana's P.O.V My father always said life was a fleeting breath. A fragile thread that could be spun and severed without our consent. But I always believed otherwise; that every moment leading to our death is a choice we make. And that both consciously and in the quiet corners of our mind, we are always preparing for the day life's fair gift comes for us. It felt like none of those things the day he died, and it felt even more empty in this moment. I stared at the lifeless body of my mother. Her eyes hadn't closed all the way when she drew her last breath. Nick was also there, and despite not being so close to him, he'd risked his life to save mine. My heart was heavy, and my tears ran down my cheeks as I sobbed quietly. The fight had ended, but it had cost me more than I'd imagined. Just the other night we were in her home, and I was only beginning to learn the truth about myself, but now she was gone. “Please wake up,” I pleaded, yanking her off the ground and hugging her. “

Chapter 42 - Grief, Guilt & Pleasure

Daciana's P.O.VThree days.No human interaction, no food, not even water. I locked myself in Milton's bedroom since we returned to the pack. Despite having access to come in if he pleased, he would always knock, and ask if he could.But each time he did, I never gave an answer.His room seemed bigger the more I looked around. And the other night I was talking to myself in my sleep, I was convinced I had lost it.Amelia was staying with Adam. She had a friend her age there, and Adam was more open to look after her than everyone else at the Alpha's Mansion.Cercei was the only one authorised by Milton to enter the room. Every day she came, she would prepare water for my bath, a fresh change of clothes, and food. I never touched any of them.The curtains were drawn down, depriving me the warmth of sunlight. The air was stale, soaked with the scent of my sweat, unwashed sheets, and the distinct sweet smell of coffee.I flipped down the sheets over my face and found Cersei standing at th

Chapter 43 - Wet

Daciana's P.O.VWe were friends. Nothing more, nothing less.Then why was I standing in front of him naked? Why was I staring at his hardened dick?Adam submerged himself into the water again and the loud splash snapped me out of my very bad idea of a fantasy.I cleared my throat roughly and walked back to where I'd taken off my clothes. I quickly got dressed and turned to leave.“Daciana?” His voice broke through the silence.I stood, but didn't turn. “Can you help me?” I gasped. “Are you crazy?” I spun around quickly, but he was pointing at his clothes.That's not what I heard in that voice he'd spoken with. It was raw, vulnerable, and seeking something else. But maybe it was just in my head.I took a deep breath, picked up his clothes and took them down to him. He swam towards the edge, but as I leaned forward to hand him the clothes, my foot slipped.“Wow!” I shrieked as I landed with a splash, right into his arms.His grip was firm. One hand around my waist, and another at my b

Chapter 44 - I Cheated

Milton's P.O.V“Alpha Derek,” I called Lyra's father, seated in my office with a frown on his face. “The wedding is off,” I said for the umpteenth time.He wasn't satisfied with the reasons I'd already given him. But it was a decision Lyra and I had already made. We weren't getting married.“Milton -”I raised a brow at him and he corrected himself. If I gave him the respect of being an Alpha in my home, the least he could do was the same.“Alpha Milton,” he tried again. “This marriage was long decided years ago. You and Lyra have been engaged for half of your life. I don't understand why you'd make such a decision now.”He paused. “Does she know? Is this about the other woman?”I slammed my hands on the desk. “You will not refer to Daciana as the other woman.”Derek hummed thoughtfully and rose from his seat. “Any other day, this would have been viewed as betrayal to my people. But you saved our home, and we can't thank you enough,” he said firmly.“Don't go telling me about betraya

Chapter 45 - Rejected

Milton's P.O.V“How are you feeling?”Daciana lay on the bed, cuddled up to herself since the incident with Adam.She hadn't said a word to me, or to Amelia who was lying with her.I reached for her hair, stroking my hands through it and planted a kiss on her forehead.Grief has a way of hunting you. You might not have noticed it the first few days, but the nightmares that follow are harder to ignore.There was a knock on the door, followed by Robert stepping into the room.“Milton, the elders want to see you.”I looked up at him, a frown settling on my lips. “Why?” I asked.“It's best they tell you themselves,” he answered, and left.I turned to Daciana. She was now looking at me, her face a little warm to look up on. “Go,” she urged me. “Amelia and I will be fine.”I hesitated, but left. Davies and the elders didn't like being kept waiting. I knew they'd send more people to call me if I delayed longer.Robert was waiting for me outside the room.“The guards told me you had a fight

Chapter 46 - I Said No

Daciana's P.O.V What was he thinking? Waltzing right into the room and asking me to marry him? Why was he always thinking of his happiness and never mine.“Daciana,” he took a step forward, his hands landing on my shoulders. “What do you mean?”I breathed, and looked away. “Milton, you know I don't belong here.”“You belong wherever I am,” he said, squeezing my shoulders gently. “No one gets to decide that except me, and you.”But that was a lie. He knew it, but just wouldn't be honest with himself.“I could never be your Luna,” I said again. “I have so much more to do.”“Then we'll do it together.”“No!”The room fell silent. The humming birds outside his window, dispersing at the sound of my voice.I brought myself to look at him, and his eyes, always full of life, were dim and cold. Yet he smiled at me, that warm smile that always kept my raging spirit safe.“Daciana,” he whispered my name.My breath hitched.“What are you so afraid of?” He asked.I sighed within me. Is that real

Chapter 47 - Who Are You?

Daciana's P.O.VMilton had a little party organised to celebrate Amelia’s birthday. It turned out she'd been pestering him about since we returned from the fight.“You didn't have to,” I said, but he scoffed.“Are we going to let our problems come in the way of her happiness?” He asked, watching her giggle and run circles around Cersei.I sighed. “You're right. Today is about her. Not me, not you. Just her.”I walked up to her and joined in Cersei's pursuit to give her a bath.She saw the opening, and scrambled to Milton, hiding behind him.“You're not going to catch me,” she giggled heartily.To her surprise, Milton swooped her off her feet and handed her over to me.“That's cheating,” she bickered, feeling betrayed by the man she'd grown so awfully close to.“I beg to differ,” I smiled as I took off her clothes and carried her to the shower.She insisted she'd shower on her own, and asked that Cersei and I gave her privacy. I smiled at her request, and obliged.Milton wasn't in the

Chapter 48 - Fractured

Daciana’s P.O.VI didn’t know much about my mother's pendant. To me, it had always been nothing more than an accessory. A part of her I could hold on to when everything else fell apart.Now, I wasn’t sure what it was anymore.Adam didn’t say a single word. The silence between us was louder than the empty hallway we stood in.I pressed forward, hoping to catch a hint of anything in his eyes, but there was nothing. His expression was unreadable, a wall I couldn’t see through, and impossible to tell what he was thinking.Finally, he laughed. That deep, shallow laugh I loved about him. Only this time, it sounded like it was dragged out of him.“Daciana,” he murmured as he leaned into me..I took a step back before I could think and watched as he took control of the situation.“What are you talking about?” He asked. He had this edge to his voice that sent a chill down my nerves.My breath hitched, and then came fear, clawing its way up my throat. I breathed and forced my voice to be steady

Chapter 49 - Amelia's Missing

Milton's P.O.VAbout an hour after Daciana left the office, Adam knocked on the door and walked in before I could say a word.He wore a deep frown on his face. The kind a father gives his son after making a terrible decision.“What were you thinking?” he asked, planting both palms on the desk. “You're letting her go back to her pack?”I leaned back in my chair. “Would you have me stop her?”“Yes!” The word came out harsher than he intended.I raised a brow.Adam exhaled slowly, forcing himself to calm down before taking the seat across from me.“She can't go back there.”“Yes, she can,” I replied evenly. “They're her people and they need her.”Adam gave a bitter laugh. “Her people are dead.” A short silence followed, then he continued. “You're so focused on getting in between her pants that you can't even tell her the truth.”I shot to my feet and slammed both hands on the desk. “Not another word,” I growled. “I could have your throat ripped out for that attitude.”Adam stood as well

Chapter 50 - The Second Howl

Milton’s P.O.VFor a second, I couldn't breathe. Adam’s words echoed in my head in the room's silence.“We couldn’t find her.”That sentence made no sense. I didn’t ask him to find her. Amelia was waiting for him in my office. She wasn’t the kind of child reckless enough to wander into trouble. Especially when advised against it.I turned to Daciana. She looked calm, but I could feel the chaos in her heart. My wolf growled deep inside me, unsettled by her stillness.“What do you mean, you can't find my sister?” Daciana finally spoke.Adam glanced between the both of us before responding to her. “Milton asked me to meet her in his office. She was waiting for me there.”“And?” She stepped forward.“His office was empty. I've searched the entire floor, but there's no sign of her.”I moved toward the door, thinking of a solution to a matter this delicate. Daciana followed closely behind me, but I stopped her.“I can't have you disappearing too,” I said. She frowned and moved past me.“My
