THIRD PERSON’S POV.Cruz's eyes got bloodshot as he watched her there, kneeling on one knee with a small Wolf standing right in front of her. She held his palm in her left hand, turning it around like she was checking something.“Why did you do it? You shouldn’t do that to yourself.” Eleanor said, her voice low, soft, and sweet. Eleanor had seen him trying to jump down from a high place, and she ran as fast as she could to catch up with him because she knew for sure that he would only end up injuring himself or maybe losing his life in the process. However, she had studied him enough to know he was about to do that on purpose. He was trying to kill himself. She couldn’t just stand there and watch it happen even if the others decided to. Every single life was meaningful. Losing her family in the raid had taught her that.Cruz doubted that he had ever heard that side of her. That side of her showed how sympathetic she could be.“I…I. I was just hungry.” The little boy stammered, starin

DIANA’S POV. I ran my right palm over my slightly swollen area as I looked at my reflection in the morning. My baby bump was starting to show just a little, even though it was just two months, or maybe I just thought it was. I was so glad, more than happy, that she was finally out of the way, and now no one would stop me from being with the Wolf I love. However, I was still a bit bothered that he had not announced to the world that I was his new Luna and that he feared me. It made me wonder if Lucien no longer loved me. I had confronted him, though, and he said something about wanting the talk of Eleanor’s banishment to die down before he took such a step so it wouldn’t raise any suspicion and for some time, I understood. I pulled my Beige flay gown up to stare at my stomach, revealing my White linen pant. I turn sideways to look at the beautiful life growing inside of me, a symbol of the love I shared with Lucien.“I believe he or she will grow up to be a beautiful one.” I heard Lu

ELEANOR’S POV. I gasped out for air the exact second I pushed my eyes apart to find myself back in my room. A wave of relief washed over me. Ever since he told me about the feast, I have been having nightmares, terrible, terrible nightmares. I have been seeing myself caught by the Raiders and burnt alive too. I would wake up with beads of sweat breaking across my forehead and chin. My heart thumping fast, the sound of it so loud in my ears that I could almost compare it to that of a moving trailer. It always felt so real. The dream felt like that day years ago when my whole world went down the hill. When everything went the other way. The same day I watched my kind burnt into nothing. The thought of another feast made me fear something terrible might happen too—either that or I couldn't afford to be happy. Feast day was supposed to be remembrance day for my family, my kind. I couldn't afford to dance and wine on the day they were killed. Even if I have to attend, because I have no

ELEANOR’S POV.“Oh! Finally, you found love.” Alpha Dawson said, followed by a deep laugh; then he leaned forward to pick up my right hand and kiss the back of my palm. “Nice to meet you, milady.” He greeted me, then raised his head to smile at me.If only he knew that this monster here could not ever love anyone. He was only capable of torturing and killing someone.“My pleasure,” I responded calmly.I felt a bit bad that I was lying to all these people, but this was what I had to do to stay alive.“You look so beautiful. I like the dress. You must have great taste in things.” Alpha Dawson complimented me, and I sent him a smile.Was it weird that I could feel Cruz boiling beside me? He had on this frown that showed that he disapproved of it.“Thank you.” I responded, then added, “You look good too.” just to spite him the more.I felt his strong arms around me as he pulled me closer.“Don’t you have something else to attend to?” He said between clenched teeth.“I don't....” I was sa

CRUZ’S POV. I still couldn't believe I had let myself get driven by my need last night. I found it hard to understand why I couldn't have resisted or pushed her away when she leaned in to kiss me. Her touch on my lips made my cock nod. It sent sensations running through my spine, and I never thought I was capable of them. It was like she had used a spell on me.My pretend bride charmed me.That had to be the only explanation for this weirdness. I had returned the kiss with so much force and hunger and found myself groaning and biting against her neck. The way her body shook when I bit her was terrific. Let's not make mention of when I had sucked on her. The way she welcomed me in and moaned loudly. It gave me more strength to drive her crazy because I was glad she wanted me as much as I wanted her.Her dress!Yes, her dress looked so beautiful on her. It was as though it was made just for her.I caught you there!Haha!It was specially made just for her. She looked so good in Black.
