[HOLLY’s Point of View]It took me almost five days and four nights to let Alec heal and convince him to go with me to the camp of the Ambroses.My hand rubbed my round belly. I finally felt that pain on my hip as I walked under the tall old trees of the forest. Thankfully, the weather was nice when we decided to start finding the camp. I had to take advantage of the determination that was in Alec’s eyes while the fear wasn’t there. I could tell that his guilt of leaving Mel brought nightmares to him, and to save himself from the guilt, he had to go back and save his mate while it wasn’t too late.And that would be the same with my husband. I had to go there and find him and take him back to Blackwood before the war broke in the city. Beta Kian needed him to protect our home. His people needed him. I needed him.Bullets of sweat covered our faces as we caught the scent of what Alec had told me was the scent of the rogue folks. They smelled like old clothes. Of someone who never had a

[HOLLY’s Point of View]Just as Mel suggested, the three of us headed down the mountain when the first rays of sunlight reached the insides of the cave.If the situation weren’t so grave and scary, I would let her have a few days staying in the cave with us for two days while she was still severely injured. The silver chains slowed down her self-regeneration, and because she was deprived of food and water for weeks, her body started to lose muscles that she couldn’t even stand on her own without Alec helping her.[I am so sorry you have to shift to your wolf form to bring us down the mountain, Holly.] Alec’s voice in my head echoed as he secured Mel in front of him while they rode on my back. My silver fur glimmered under the soft morning sunlight.My claws dug against the earth as I slid down the scarps of the mountain. It was a good thing. I was really good with balance and was not worried that the two on my back wouldn’t fly back, so I jumped from tree to tree until we reached the

[ALPHA EVANDER’s Point of View]It took me a lot of self-control not to grin.I couldn’t believe Randalf would give me my own tent for privacy. No guards, no whippings, and what I liked more about it was no silver chains around my ankles and wrists. It was small but the bed was comfortable. Above all, I could be myself whenever I was inside and that was the most important thing for now.At least they didn’t bring me back to that cursed prison pit.Randalf asked for me to go to his tent and I did. I was a leaf dancing with whatever direction the wind blows me. To know my enemy is to act like one of them. It’s the only strategy left, knowing how desperate Randalf wanted me to side with him in this war. He knew what I was capable of. He knew my skill and ability to plan and lead my people into battle. As a man who had fought and won so many wars, I was a significant ally to the Ambroses.On the other hand, I still had to be careful with Irina. Her sidelong glances and suspicious glare we

[HOLLY’s Point of View]My eyes widened.It was as if I had forgotten how to breathe for seconds.I looked into Mel’s copper eyes, confused and overwhelmed, but I couldn’t find the right words to say. Or ask her. I just held the pearl in the middle of the palm of my hand and let my eyes wonder at the beauty of the necklace.Something in it draws me in, and I couldn’t explain the storm of emotions swirling in my chest. The necklace was cold on my skin. Cold, dark, and heavy.“H-Holly?” Mel asked, scared that I have swallowed my tongue. “Say something, please.” Her one good eye was intense as she gazed at my face, studying every emotion in it.“H-How, Mel? How did you get it?” I asked, still breathless at the sight of the pearl.She looked at Alec first and gave her mate a small smile, and then to me. Her eyes lit with excitement and happiness. “When I got into Alec’s mansion and was about to take a bath, I found this necklace in one of the pockets of my jacket, Holly. It was as if some

[HOLLY’s Point of View]The banging on the door suddenly sounded unreal. Then for once, I thought the noise was just from the thumping of my own heartbeat reverberating through my deafened ears. The violent winds from the mountains threw the windows of my room open. The hinges creaked threateningly as the white sheer curtains whipped against the glass panes.Mel’s small hands were painfully tight against my wrists and she was incredibly strong; it terrified me. Something was happening to her. It was as if the darkness stored inside that pearl necklace had influenced her mind when it should be her who was supposed to command the ‘thing’ to obey her bidding.The power that was stored in the pearl was too much for Melinda to control and I saw it on her face. She was asking me for help.“Mel! Just tell me what’s happening!” I asked through gritted teeth. I tried my hardest not to panic as the black completely covered her eyeball and my neck and shoulders started to feel so heavy it felt
