Mia's POVThere was so much pain in my heart I thought I might faint from it. I couldn't stop the tears from falling. My parents had never shown me much love, but the rejection still hurt. I wasn't expecting them to welcome me with open hands, especially since the only value I ever held for them was my prospective mating with the alpha prince. But I wasn't expecting them to reject me so cruelly either. I wasn't expecting them to throw me out of the house to fend for myself. I had spent the last two days in the shed, having nowhere else to go. But my father found me out this morning and almost throttled me. I had no choice but to leave.Where would I start? I don't expect I can ever feed myself just from working on people's gardens. And even if I could, they had banished me from the pack, warning me severely never to come back. My feet was already sore from running. The capital city was far behind me now, and the forest that bordered it loomed in front. The area in between was barre

Mia's POVGradually, I calmed down and the hand left me. I realized it wouldn't do for them to realize I was aware of their plans. If they realize it, then escaping may be too hard. Just then, I thought of something and fear rose in me again. If they were in my head, does that mean they could hear my thoughts? If so, that means they already knew of my plan to escape. 'Think!' I thought to myself. 'You have a fever, the girl said so. You're probably hallucinating,' But the girl, she was a rogue, wasn't she? What if she was lying? I had heard of rogues and their evil practices, trying to use people's wolves to get unnatural powers. So, talking in my head wouldn't be far-fetched.My thoughts swirled in a chaotic mess. I attempted to convince myself that it was all a fever-induced delusion, but the fragments of coherent thought eluded me."They can't be real. It's just a fever dream," I mumbled to myself, but the words lacked conviction.As I lay on the bed, the room seemed to spin, an

Mia's POVI woke to moonlight streaming in through a wide open door. I sat up groggily and looked around. The room was unfamiliar, and didn't look at all like a temple. Unconsciously, I heaved a sigh of relief.Now that the danger was last, I realised I wasn't quite as prepared to come under the knife as I had thought. Looking at the situation from eyes clear of danger, death under claws and death under a knife seemed awfully similar. As the tension I woke with seeped out of my bones, I realized I had the mother of migraines. Holding my head in both hands, I fell back on the sinfully soft bed. Normally, I would have wondered which kind of bed was it that was so soft, but my head threatened to split at even the slightest thoughts. Closing my eyes, I took deep breaths and tried to lessen the pain as far as I could. When a shadow fell across me, I opened my eyes. The woman that had saved me from the bear walked in. She was carrying a tray full of dishes. She set the tray on a small st

Mia's POVMy head turned so fast my neck cricked. The pain shot right into my head, filling it up. But even holding my neck in pain, I still managed to gasp out"My father was the alpha of Blood Moon pack?" Mabel nodded solemnly. "That's right. You're a princess," I took a moment to absorb that revelation. I had been right; this was the revelation of my lifetime. When Mabel had called me the son of Alpha Megan and Luna Jessica yesterday morning, I had thought that perhaps, my parents were the alpha and Luna of another pack and I was their lost child. That was how I had imagined my lift from grass to grace whenever the pain from Penny became too much, after all. But now, Mabel is telling me that they had actually been the alpha and luna of my own pack, the pack where I was mistreated?"What happened to them then?" I asked. "How did they come to this state? Corrupted, is it?" Mabel sighed. "I will tell you when we are in the house. But for now, let's inculcate you into the horrors o

Unknown POVI stood on a hill and looked down at the Blood Moon pack. From this distance, I could see the whole of the pack, though each city looked about the size of two palms. There were six cities in a horseshoe shape, surrounding the capital city. Between the cities and the capital city was a forest, running the whole curve of the horseshoe and spilling out at the open end into a very dense forest that stretched farther than my eyes could see. I have been told that in that forest resided a branch of the Sulfur Hands that consisted of just four women and two men. It has always fascinated me. How are they able to tarnish the silver in a medium sized pack with such a small number? I would have very much loved to visit that branch had I been left to my own devices, but that was not my destination. My destination was the capital city. According to the alpha, the very first part of the prophecy had stated that I must be completed before I can accomplish my destiny. And that my mate w
