Leah POV Connor didn't say a word to me again and stood up to leave the room. I could not understand why he was acting so cold towards me. I tried thinking if I had done anything to get him angry but I could not remember doing such. Why was he acting this way? As we got out of the door, I grabbed his arm, stopping him from moving away. “You should not be holding me like that, Princess. People might think something else,” he said coldly to me and I withdrew my hands. “Are you angry at me?” I could not help but ask. He shook his head and turned to walk away again. I followed him. Connor was my only close friend in this pack of wolves. He did not know but his presence has been making my stay here bearable. “I'm not stupid, Connor. I know you are angry with me,” I said, while walking behind him. He didn't stop to deny my words. “What did I do?” I asked him and he stopped walking, held my arm and pulled me into a small and dark room. “You do not know what you did right? Wel

Leah POV I had a new goal in mind. I've been in this pack for almost two weeks, it was time I found something to do. But first I needed to perform a ritual to seal my wolf. The subsequent rustling within me was not something I welcomed at the moment. It would put my life in danger and I did not want that. Tonight was the night of a full moon. The perfect day for the ritual. I already had everything ready. The candle, water from the stream and my blood. It was dark magic and very risky for me, I knew but I had to do it. The day was already far gone so I decided to leave my room. I had no maid again, thanks to Stephanie and had to do everything myself. I left my room with no destination in mind and went out. I had thought to just go to the clinic but decided against it. I was not planning to work as a healer of any sort. “Luna Anne,” I heard someone scream my name as I was about to open the door and I turned around. It was Evelyn. She ran down the stairs in haste, going down

Leah POV The children dragged Connor away while I quietly walked beside him. Meanwhile the other members of the pack bowed as we walked past them. They could tell I was new. They took him to a small cottage a little bit further away from the rest of the pack house. When Connor entered inside without saying a word to me, I hesitated. Am I allowed to go in with him or should I wait here? My questions are answered when he comes out again. “You are welcome here, Princess. Come on,” he motioned for me to go in before entering the house once again. I glanced around. There was a little garden just beside the house. The spot where it was located looked too specific like it was designed for this person alone so I wondered who the person was. “Let's go,” I told Evelyn and entered the house. I didn't know what I was expecting but what I saw when I entered the house exceeded my expectations. The interior was beautifully done. The windows were draped with soft but beautiful lavender l

Damian POV As I walked, my frustrations reached its peak with my mind clouded in irritation. The lack of workers had already put me in a foul mood, but what irked me even more was Anne's snappy attitude. At first, when I saw her, I suddenly felt a foreign feeling within me. I was sure it was not my feelings but one of another. Could it be her? It was a strong feeling to let go and it was Jealousy. I suddenly became jealous although I didn't know who I was jealous about. I need a run, I told myself as we left for the mansion. Stephanie was behind me but right now, I wanted to be alone and clear my thoughts. “I'll meet you in the house later. I'm going for a run,” I told her and sprinted into the woods before she could try to stop me. I pulled my clothes away, shifted in less than a minute and sprinted, letting my wolf out. He wanted to be in control so I let him. As we ran, the wind rushed against our face as the thoughts of the day consumed my thoughts. The earthly scent of

Damian POV“I… I…” she stuttered, looking confused and shocked. I knew she wasn't expecting the question but why was she confused? She looked everywhere like there was something trying to attack her. A twinkle of green glowed in her blue eyes, making me wonder if there was another Anne. Her behavior contradicted everything I had heard about her. “What? You don't want to go?” Stephanie asked her. “I do but I think it would be better if I stayed here. He needs to learn to live without his precious daughter. I might visit him after everything,” she said with a loud sigh. Her confused expression from earlier was gone and it looked like she was really missing her father. “Still, he is your father. You should want to see him at least once,” Connor murmured. She pursed her lips. “I do but not now. I'm still getting used to the pack. If I leave now, I might not want to come back,” she said jokingly. “Then stay there,” Stephanie murmured and everyone became quiet. “I'll take my leave n
