Daniel's POV The war between Andrew’s Pack and mine raged on, exhaustion began to set in. The once fierce and aggressive wolf warriors we sent to fight for us now moved in slow, sluggish movements, driven purely by sheer willpower to continue fighting. Blood and sweat dripped down our matted fur as we each desperately tried to gain the upper hand, but the victory seemed to be slipping away with each passing moment. Day and night, we fought tirelessly, not wanting to succumb to our opponents, the hatred between us had become so ingrained. As time went on, the war never ceased, and it grew more violent with each passing day. We both suffered heavy casualties as we fought tooth and nail for dominance. The once lush and lively forest was now dark and desolate, with broken trees and piles of rubble littering the ground. Andrew once filled with a lust for power and control and wanted me desperately dead, now looked weary and fatigued. Deep lines etched onto our faces, showing the countle

Athena’s POV “I don’t want to listen to your story!” I screamed, and he chuckled, he held the irons tightly and snarled at me, I had to move back a bit as his claws slowly elongated. "Isn't it intriguing to discover the reason behind your presence here?" he asked with a hint of amusement in his voice, his lips twitching with a faint smile as he moved them slightly to the side. "Please, just release me! Being trapped here is unbearable," I pleaded before slumping to the ground in exhaustion. The way they were treating me was taking a toll on me and I just wanted to leave. The cell had an unpleasant odor that only added to my misery. As I slumped in my cell, without warning, he grabs onto my clothes, he pulled me forward, causing my head to hit the cold iron bars. The blow left me feeling lightheaded, my eyes struggling to focus as I looked back at Lucas. I had not been eating well since I'd been imprisoned, and with every passing moment, I could feel my strength waning. He let go

Andrea's POV I sip the glass of wine in my hand with a wide smile on my face, finally! All plans are falling into place, and I am able to mobilize the rogues Lucas has given a home, they will fight beside me and take down alpha Daniel. I love the fact he is so occupied fighting his step-brother over his mate and when I am sure he has lost enough men, and he is weak to continue, I will appear and end him myself, claiming what rightfully belongs to us. I was brought back from my reverie when I suddenly heard the clearing of a throat, I turned my attention to the person, and it was one of the guards in the pack “What brought you here?” I was annoyed he stopped me from daydreaming everything I planned was going to happen, and he bowed his head immediately. “The merchant you seek is here,” he said, and my smile widened, forgetting he actually annoyed me for jolting me back to reality. I dropped the glass of wine I was holding immediately and started moving, he tagged behind my bac

Lucas’s POV I suddenly opened my eyes and everything felt weird, I looked at my hands while I stood up from the bed and held my head tightly, I groaned as I felt a sharp headache traveling through my head I suddenly thought about Athena and I remembered everything that had happened all this while, I remembered how I shredded Emily into pieces and my heart started beating fast, I couldn’t believe everything I had done. I screamed in pain and I wondered why I did all those things, what had happened to me, and how I came to agree with Andrea in her brutal ways when I have actively disagreed with it. Guilt ate me up, and I am not certain how I am going to face Athena again, I pulled my hair in frustration and I can believe I could do such a thing to a woman I am in love with, I know Athena will never forgive me, no matter what I say. I pondered on this and stepped out of my room, I saw the guard standing by the door side and went over to meet him “Tell me Athena is at the clinic I

Athena's POV I rested my back on the bark of the tree, I sighed as I waited for my legs to heal. I have been sleeping for some hours now, and I felt energized. After some minutes, I stood up from the ground and my legs weren't as bad as they were anymore, I walked deeper into the forest and saw a river, I quickly moved closer and bent on the floor driving some water to satiate my thirst. After drinking enough, I stood up and walked towards a tree, I saw an apple hanging down the tree and cut one, I ate it and I sighed as the taste hits my taste bud. I can't remember the last time I had such a great taste, I haven't been feeding properly, got lean, and looked like a shadow of myself. I started walking away from the tree when I heard several footsteps, I knew Andrea had had her people out to look for me, I quickly started running even with the pain I felt, I needed to get to Andrea before her people caught up with me. I was able to lose them and stepped back into the pack, I hid f
