Mima's POVI had lied to Rake.I had to.Why did you lie to mate?“So now you want to talk to me? You've kept me shut out from reaching you all this while. I told one little lie and you're coming for me?”Mate needs truth.“Stop it, okay? It's not safe for him to know.”I remembered every single thing that had happened to me. From the abduction in my room to destroying the room I was almost sacrificed in. What I didn't remember was how I got back to Rake's pack or how he had gotten there.I told mate to come.“Even after I told you not to several times? I handled it. Now there's a target on his back, too, if those people are still alive.” I sighed as I ran my hand through my tangled mess of hair.I looked at myself in the mirror; I didn't look any different. Passing out for three days did bring colour back to my skin but I was skinnier.My tummy rumbled as if it could hear my thoughts. I chuckled as I got into the shower and got myself ready.By the time I was getting out of the bathr

Mima's POV“Why hasn't he come to see me yet, Daria?” I sulked as I lay on Daria’s lap.She had offered to wash my hair, and after drying it, she insisted on oiling my scalp. The gentle pressure of her fingers massaging my head was soothing, yet it did little to distract me from the frustration gnawing at my chest.Since the day Rake found me in the lake, he had refused to see me. He didn’t even speak to me that day either. No explanation, no confrontation, just avoidance. It pissed me off that he refused to listen to what I had to say.Daria had been by my side ever since then. More than just a maid, she had become like a sister to me. We had spent countless nights talking about everything and anything, whispering stories to each other when sleep evaded us.Daria wasn’t originally from this pack. Her home had been destroyed, and she was taken captive with her younger brother, similar to what had happened to me. But unlike me, she had managed to escape. That was when she met Rake, wan

Rake's POVI stood outside of the room with a smile on my face. Mima was probably going to be pissed that I kept this from her for so long, but she would be happy, too, and if she was angry, I'd just find a way to appease her.My mind went back to how enthralling she had looked earlier and my heart raced.“Alpha. I'm sorry but I would like to have a word with you.” One of my subordinates called out to me. I nodded at him and followed him to one of the equipment rooms.“We finally got wind of the people that you had described.”At the mention of his words, my face immediately turned into a frown.“Tell me.”“They don't exist on the map.” He said before sucking in a breath and gauging my reaction.“What?! What do you mean by they don't exist on the map?” I asked fuming.“We couldn't find any trace about them from anybody. They didn't have a specific location. I asked around and some people did know them. Some had seen them lurking around in the shadows of their pack or walking in broad

Mima’s POVCold.It wrapped around me like a firm hand, squeezing the breath from my lungs. My limbs refused to move, trapped in the unnatural pull of the lake. Panic clawed at my chest. I tried to fight or break free, But I couldn't.My body wasn’t mine anymore. My fingers twitched uselessly as the water dragged me deeper. The glow beneath me pulsed, silver and hypnotic, swirling like something alive.The Moon Goddess said my powers were sealed. Was this them breaking free?I opened my mouth to scream, but only bubbles escaped. Suddenly, the light exploded.A force just like I had felt that night surged through my body, burning and freezing at the same time. My skin prickled, my veins pulsed with raw energy, and my head snapped back as pain lanced through my skull.A voice whispered through the water. "Awaken." The world around me shifted.I wasn't in the lake anymore.I stood in a vast, silver-lit void. The ground beneath me wasn’t solid, but I didn't sink. My breath came in sharp g

Mima's POVThe boy was locked up.I stood outside the iron doors of the cell, my fingers tightening around the tray of food in my hands. The dungeons reeked and this place was most definitely not suitable for a child.He sat curled in the farthest corner, knees drawn to his chest, arms wrapped tightly around himself. His dark hair, still matted with dried blood, clung to his forehead. He hadn’t moved since the warriors shoved him inside.“Here,” I said softly, kneeling by the bars. “You need to eat.”His eyes flickered to me, then to the food before looking away. He ignored me.Daria knelt beside me. “He’s scared.”“Of course he’s scared,” I muttered. “He woke up in a cage.”The guilt I felt grew stronger. I had carried him here, thinking I was saving him, but now he was locked behind bars as if he were some kind of criminal.Rake’s orders.I had fought him, of course. Had stood there, shaking with fury, demanding he let the boy go. But Rake had already turned away, shutting me out as
