THIRTY ONE

ALAYNA’s POVIt is a nightmare. But I do not know that. It is often this way with bad dreams. It is dark and a mist, thick and heavy has descended. I see Ezra. He is walking away from me, his broad back framed by the mist, the distance growing between us with each passing second. “Ezra!” I shout his name but no sound comes out of my mouth. My hand goes to my throat. Am I mute again? Why can I not make a sound?“Ezra!” I call out. Again…no sound.And Ezra does not turn. He just keeps walking. Please! Don’t leave!But he doesn’t hear me, and the further he gets, the more desperate I become. I try to move but my limbs feel strangely heavy, as if a massive hand is pressing down on my body. Then, darkness swallows him whole, and I am left standing there, alon

ALAYNA’s POVI sit by the locked-up window of my bedroom, my gaze fixed on the grounds outside. There is no sign of movement from anyone, the servants have all been hauled off for questioning. And there is no sign of Ezra.He has vanished without a trace.I do not believe for one second that he fled and abandoned the pack. Ezra Nightwalker is no coward.Something must have happened to him. I think. I bite at my fingernails. Ezra is strong, surely nothing could have happened to him?I close my eyes and shake my head in frustration.I have been under house arrest for what feels like years, though it has only been a few hours. There are two guards posted outside my bedroom door, the very ones who came with Drake earlier on. I had tried to speak to them, to ask them for news of Ezra, but they never once answered me.I get up, pacing the room, unable to stand still and the guards watch me. The room feel

ALAYNA’s POV The door clicks shut behind Drake and I am left standing there, the weight of his words pounding into my mind.If I do not marry him, Father and Mother will lose their lives. There is no escaping it.I need to get them out of the Northlands. I need to get them to safety first, then I will find Ezra. Ezra is still out there. He has to be.I spin around, my legs shaking as I dash across the room to my dressing table. And there I see it.Eureka! My phone!With a trembling hand, I pick it up. My fingers fly over the keys, dialling Aurora’s number as fast as I can. She had promised to bring them to safety should the need arise.The phone rings once. Twice. The third time, the line picks up.“Aurora!” I hiss into the phone. I need her help to get Mother and Father out of here.“Hello, Aurora? Hello?” But all I hear is static. A crackling buzz, the

ALAYNA’s POV (SIX WEEKS LATER) The silk of the wedding dress slips over my skin, delicate as a whisper but it feels as if the hands of death are smothering me. I stand before the large mirror in my room, staring at the reflection of a woman I do not recognize.The woman in the mirror looks regal, beautiful even, with an oval face and full lips that have been trained to smile even when I feel like dying inside. But the emerald eyes staring back at me are hollow.There is nothing of joy in them. Nothing of love.“Sarah, are you finished?” I can hardly recognize my own voice. I had cried so much over the past few weeks that my voice has become hoarse.“Yes, Luna,” Sarah replies, her voice more cautious than usual. She knows how emotional I have become. She adjusts the dress one last time, smoothing out an invisible wrinkle, her face full of concern as she takes in my exp

ALAYNA’s POV A long, white carpet unfurls before me, stretching all the way to the altar. At the end of the aisle, it overlooks the cliff, where the sea crashes against jagged rocks. For some reason, the sight of the cliff feels strangely foreboding.“Luna,” Sarah calls out to me from the side. “Are you alright?”I am not.But the woman has been fretting over me since early this morning and I can see how tired she is. The least I can do is to put her mind at ease. I give her a slight nod and her worried wrinkles fade into a smile. She quickly takes a seat among the throng of guests seated in rows upon rows of white chairs.I take a deep breath, inhaling the salty sea air as I step onto the carpet, my eyes drawn to the beautiful wedding arch before me, wrapped in lilies whose white petals bloom.The ceremony feels like a dream. Or perhaps a nightmare.It is h

DRAKE’s POV I pace relentlessly outside Wanda’s clinic. Each step is quick and furious and the gravel beneath my boots crunches with each movement.Why is she not out yet?I can feel my muscles straining beneath the tension, a simmering fury building inside me.Damnit, if Wanda does not come out soon, I swear I will kick down the door.My fingers twitch with pent-up anger. Maybe I should tear down the clinic. Maybe I should -The door to the clinic creaks open and I stop dead in my tracks.I do not even wait for Wanda to fully step out before I push past her and rush inside, ignoring the scent of antiseptic and herbs that assault my senses.My eyes immediately land on the bed where Alayna lies, pale and unmoving. She is still unconscious.I storm toward her, my hands clenched into fists at my sides. The fear in my chest claws at me, but my anger is louder."What is

ALAYNA’s POV(This chapter runs concurrently with the previous chapter) “Pregnant.”I am in shock, pure and simple. I can only stare with damp eyes and wonder if I am losing my mind. I have to laugh and cry as well. Now I see the sunrise and feel the space beyond it, not just the emptiness. My anxiety, my fear, my confusion--all these things have now transformed into a solitary glow of wonder. For a while now I have cursed the Moon Goddess for taking Ezra away from me and now I can only bow inside in gratitude. Gently, I touch my belly. The corners of my lips lift and I whisper, “I’m pregnant….with Ezra’s child.” Moon Goddess, thank you for the life within me. Can I be more greedy and ask for Ezra’s return? From the side, Mother mutters something to Drake and quickly exits the

ALAYNA’s POV I stand next to the desk, staring down at the secret drawer. My hands tremble as I touch the cold smooth surface of the phone.Golden Eye’s phone.How did it end up here?The question toys my mind, refusing to leave me in peace. Did Ezra leave it here before he left? He had been so adamant about finding Golden Eye, swearing to hunt him down. And yet, here it is, the phone—lying in the drawer in front of me, abandoned.This does not make sense.I glance over my shoulder, half-expecting to see Drake walking in. But of course, he is not there. I frown and run a finger across the screen. The phone has been switched off. Unease builds inside me.I have no answers, only more questions.But Drake would know about the secret drawer, right? Perhaps Ezra had shared it with him before he left.Without thinking, I move toward the landline on the desk. My

ALAYNA’s POV By the time I reach the mansion, the sun has already dipped below the horizon and made way for the rising moon. I look at the imposing building, sitting quietly against the darkening sky, its windows glowing softly from the lights within the building. I had not realized it took so long for me to get back. But then, I did stop a few times along the way when the pain in my belly became too unbearable.I gently stroke my belly. There is still no bump yet but there is no denying the life that is growing inside of me. “Little one, I am sorry. It must have been tiring for you to move around so much.”The cool wind stirs the edges of my dress as I make my way to the entrance and somewhere in the distance, I hear the howling of wolves, a reminder of the pack’s constant presence.Suddenly, another wave of deep, painful spasm hits me and I keel over. My hands press against my stomach.

ALAYNA’s POV I am dreaming again. And like all the ones that came before, it does not feel like a dream.The sun is setting and I stand in the middle of a vast meadow, the air heavy with the scent of wildflowers and damp earth. A gentle breeze tugs at the edges of my hair, carrying with it petals that drift lazily across the sky. I close my eyes for a moment, taking in all the serenity that surrounds me. The quiet, the softness of the wind and the colors of the sky melt into each other. Everything is so perfect, so still.When I open my eyes again, I see her.A little girl, no older than five with raven-black hair that cascades down her back like silk stands at the far end of the meadow. She is wearing a simple white dress that billows out behind her as she skips through the tall grass. Her laughter is light, almost melodic and it fills the meadow.Strange, I think I know her.“Hell
