Third POVPrincess Elena was from the Goddess Pack. Her pack and the Lycan pack had a very good relationship and they were both very powerful, so she had grown up with Killian and Asher, she had gone through the same training with them and was a Delta in her rights. She was very much admired, and when it had been time for her to pick a mate she had gotten countless proposals from Alphas all over the werewolf kingdom. Unlike Lucille who was pampered from a young age just for being the Alpha's daughter, Elena was expected to train hard just as Alphas did, because she herself turned out to be an AlphaShe was wanted wherever she went, she was lived and admired. Which meant she could have had anyone she wanted, yet she chose Asher. Not because he was a Lycan, it was because she was in love with him. And from an early age, she had always been told by her parents to follow her heart. Asher was a Beta, Elena knew this and honestly, she didn't care, but Asher did. He desired to take the Thron

Kira's POVI left the celebration behind me to go back to my room. But I stopped midtrack as I was taken aback by the peacefulness of the forest that served as a training ground in the palace. I knew that it was forbidden for me to go deeper into the forest without authorization from the Lycan King, I might get in trouble for that. But there was something about it that drew me closer, and with the way the moonlight cast a glow on everything, it all looked surreal. I decided to explore it just for a bit, I would be gone by the time anyone would notice. Plus everyone in the palace was so caught up in the bonding ceremony that even the guards that were usually stationed on every part of the palace weren't present that day. As I walked through the trees, I found myself feeling very light-hearted. All thoughts of today faded into the hardest part of my head. I wasn't worrying about my sister or her mate, I wasn't thinking about what Asher was up to, none of that mattered at the moment.Ju

Lucille's POVHe left me, he left me standing alone at the alter to deal with guests. He said something important came up which he had to take care of very quickly, he even promised to come back within minutes, but I was left alone for hours. A part of me didn't believe that Killian had left due to a job-related issue, why then would he go only minutes after that bastard sister of mine had scurried away even when I told her to remain in the ceremony until it ended?I wasn't dumb to not notice the way Killian had been looking at Lisa, every other man had been looking at her that way as well. She was the most attractive woman in the ceremony and had successfully managed to take the spotlight away from me. It made me feel like committing murder right there but I had to abstain myself from doing anything stupid. Killian's father must have noticed my sour mood, he went on to distract me by introducing me to reputable Alphas of powerful Packs. All of them treated me with high respect which

Kira's POVI felt trapped in his arms. Asher didn't understand how severe the situation would be for me if someone saw us like this. And the fact that he knew that I was Elisa and that something might have happened between Killian and me sent a shiver of dread down my spine. He was going to use this against me, I just knew it. " I already know what you expect of me. You don't need to threaten me? "" You think I'm threatening you? " The amusement on Asher's face only went further to irritate me. His finger came to rest on my jaw and he tilted my face up so I was staring directly into his eyes. His blue orbs peered down at me hungrily, it was almost like he wanted to swallow me whole. He leaned closer until I could feel his breath fanning my face, our lips were almost brushing. I was almost at the point of passing out. What did he want? Why did he keep doing this to me? " Oh Darling, I like you too much to threaten you. My threat always comes with torture, and I know for certain that

Killian's POV" Asher has an interest in her "I saw the moment Lucille's entire body tensed up at my words. I didn't even know why I had said that, a thought had occurred to me that Lucille might not suspect anything if I shifted her attention to Asher. If she thought I was the one who was interested in inviting Elisa then she might ask me questions, however, if I said it was Asher, then well...they didn't get along with each other, and everyone in the palace knew this, so it was very unlikely that she might ask him about it " But doesn't he have a mate?"" Yes, however he can't himself when....he just wants to see her again. My brother had been desperate to see your friend since the first time he laid eyes upon her. I hope you can do him a favor by inviting her "Lucille doesn't say anything. She stares at me for a very long time as if I were a puzzle she was trying to piece together. I had the urge to turn my gaze away due to the guilt, however, I was afraid of making her suspiciou
