Alora’s POVThe next two days were a nightmare I couldn’t wake up from. Every moment bled into the next in a loop of humiliation and despair. Nathan made sure I ate and slept only enough to keep going, just enough to stay alive. He called Nevaeh his "power weapon" now his voice full of twisted reverence. He stared at her like his only salvation. Every time I fed her, his eyes would follow my every movement, a dark hunger lurking there. Once, he tried to reach out and touch my breasts his hand hovering too close to Nevaeh’s tiny body. I shoved him away, my eyes burning with a fury. I can’t believe I almost gave this bastard a chance. He only laughed telling me he’d get his way eventually, that it was only a matter of time. He refused to let me cover my upper body, using the excuse that it was easier to feed Nevaeh that way. My lower half was clothed but every time I sat in that cave, bare from the waist up I felt the shame digging deeper, a constant reminder of how powerless I was.

Rune’s POVSitting behind my desk I stared blankly at the stack of papers in front of me. Coming back from the cave to ensure the pack was running smoothly had been a necessary task, but being here didn’t make it any easier to think. My mind kept drifting back to Alora and my daughter counting days before I go back to them and it didn’t help that Sienna had been acting weird ever since I returned. So many things have altered in the pack since I left. I found out that Dylan had a huge fight with my sister Cielle and she almost killed him with a knife during the heated argument. My father stopped her last minute. Dylan found his mate sooner after that and Cielle decided it was time for her to tour the human world. That she doesn’t want to be in this chaotic world of ours anymore. She said she has not been happy since she joined the pack. At first it was Alora in her path but then she also left but nothing has changed. Maybe she was the one in the wrong and she was done wanting to b

Rune’s POVThe cold metal of the chains dug into my wrists but I barely felt it. My head spun as I looked at the man standing in front of me, the man who looked so much like Alora it made my stomach churn. His hair fall loosely past his shoulders and his piercing blue eyes locked onto mine with a mixture of amusement and malice. I didn’t want to admit it but there was no denying the truth. He had to be her father. The resemblance was too strong. “What do you want?” I managed to croak out, my voice hoarse. He smirked a lazy confident grin that made me want to punch it right off his face. “We can do this the easy way or the hard way, my boy” he said his tone dripping with mockery. “It all depends on you, little Alpha.” Sienna let out a soft giggle from where she sat on the bed watching him like he was some god. She played with her hair her eyes shining with admiration as if he’d hung the damn moon. The bastard’s grin widened when he saw my silence. He knew he had gotten me right

Rune’s POVCyrus moved around the room with in a slow but calculated steps. I watch his hands weaving patterns in the air that glowed faintly before disappearing. It didn’t take long before something began to stir in the air. There was a crackle then shift in the toom. My body tensed and every instinct screamed that whatever he was doing wasn’t going to end well. Then, she appeared. The air was charged with magic and out of nowhere, a woman stepped through the rip he had created. My blood turned to ice the moment I recognized her. Eirlys. The witch who stole Alora from me. The witch who sent Morrigan to kill our daughter. The fucking witch I vowed to watch die with my own eyes and kill with my hands. Her eyes locked onto mine with that same wicked glint I remembered. She looked as though she had been waiting for this moment for years, her smirk sharp enough to cut through me. I fucking hate her. “Hello, Alpha!” She said, her voice dripping with hatred. “Miss me?” Cyrus grinne

Alora’s POVI held Nevaeh tightly against me with her little body pressed to my chest as I tried to calm my shaking hands. The goddess still hadn’t returned and the silence in the cave was heavier than it had ever been. Zia and Nora were both set to leave their faces pale but determined. We didn’t talk much, only exchanged nods of agreement. The guards were nowhere to be seen probably following the goddess wherever she went which meatn this was our one shot. My eyes caught Nathan’s lifeless body sprawled on the cold floor his face twisted in shock and dead. Nora’s other friend was beside him already decaying, the smell making bile rise in my throat. I forced myself to look awa swallowing hard to keep from throwing up. It didn’t matter how much I hated Nathan. seeing death like this still shook me. I blinked back tears, my heart racing and turned toward the others. "Let’s go.” Zia whispered her voice barely audible but firm. I nodded and adjusted Nevaeh in my arms. She was qui
