Chapter 71

Darius's POV“Darius, please tell me,” she pleaded, hands skirting my shoulders but not making contact. "You're scaring me."I looked at her, I mean really looked at her for the first time since I’d pushed the memories back. Those same blue eyes that had gazed at me with devastation years ago. The same fine features, just age lined and weathered by the hardships she'd faced. The same woman whose heart I had broken when I went for duty over love"You used to be my mate," I whispered the words, feeling like crushed glass in my throat. "You were my true mate and I turned my back on you.”"What are you talking about?" she said, but her voice was shaky. “I forgot,” I said, rising from the ground and stepping back from her. "Because I was a coward and put my politics before the bond the Moon Goddess gave us.”The memories were starting to come hazardously clearly now, one worse than the last. I recalled my father and the elders forcing me to marry Selene and complete the alliance with her

Chapter 72

Lily's POVI made my way to the servants' quarters with rigid and deliberate steps, the torments of my chest having left me numbed by dumb resolve. But it just took stepping through the threshold and into that small, claustrophobic room, for it all to slip away.What came out of my throat was a raw, shattered sob, bouncing off the stone walls like a wounded animal’s wail. I collapsed onto my narrow cot and buried my face in my thin pillow as tears rained free for the second time in my life over the same man."Lily?" Amaya’s voice sounded grave from the doorway. "What happened? I assumed you were in conference with the Alpha regarding—" She cut herself off, likely noticing how frazzled I appeared.I sensed the cot sink as she sat down next to me, her hand making comforting circles on my back. “Talk to me,” she said softly. "What did he do to you?"How was I going to explain recent events without exposing the taboo affair I’d had with Darius? How could I break it to her that the purloin

Chapter 73

Darius POVSitting up in bed I pulled at my hair angrily. The incomplete fragments of memory that had come back to me when I was facing Lily were incomplete, like puzzle pieces thrown out on a table, half their edges missing. I remembered refusing her, remembered the mate bond between us, but there were holes—black, scary holes the dreams seemed determined to fill."This is crazy," I muttered, tossing the blankets and crossing over to the window. It was still hours until dawn, and I realized I wasn’t going to get back to sleep now.At this time the palace was silent, its occupants resided in peaceful sleep, a gift I could nevermore take for myself. I prowled aimlessly through secret corridors with my feet bare on the cold stones of the floor. Something kept pulling me further in the palace, to places I didn’t often frequent, to things that held shadows and secrets that I couldn’t quite recall."Where are you leading me?" I inquired of the deserted hallway, feeling ridiculous talking t

Chapter 74

Darius's POVThe weight of what I had remembered, now, was crushing — and instead of making me want to confess or to redeem myself, it now made me desperate to get out. All the things I recalled now, all that cruelty by design, his efforts to torture Lily for the longest time made me want to run in the opposite direction of the truth.I couldn't face her. Not now. Not ever.“That’s more than anyone could bear,” I muttered to myself as I strode about my study like a tiger in a cage. "This can't be real. There has to be something wrong here, some explanation that doesn’t make me a monster.’”But as I was saying it, I knew it was a lie. They were far too clear, too specific, too uniform to be anything else but the truth. I’d terrorized an innocent woman for 2 years, kept her captive in a dungeon, and forced her to watch as she suffered for the abomination of being chosen as my mate by the Moon Goddess.I ought to go to Lily now, and ask forgiveness which I didn’t deserve. But the coward

Chapter 75

Lily's POVThree weeks after I was transferred out to the outer buildings, I still hadn't figured out why. One day I’d been in the main palace, choosing flowers and plumping pillows for the guest chambers and setting the tables in the feast halls, and the next I was scrubbing floors in the laundry and shoveling manure in the stables like the basest packback.“It is for your own safety,” Mrs. Henderson had said when she broke the news. “The Alpha is worried about what happened to you … after you were poisoned. He is of the opinion that you will be safer if you are occupied elsewhere while the main part of the palace is occupied."But her answer left me less than satisfied, especially when I considered the timing. I’d been transferred only a few days after that awful scene in Darius’s study, when he had remembered something and then pushed me away in a rush of inhumanly cruel indifference. It seemed too obvious a connection to be accidental."He's running scared from me," I grumbled to

Chapter 76

Darius's POVThe bottle of whiskey was empty on my desk, three other empty bottles strewn on it, evidence of its peers that I had downed over the last two days. The amber liquid had not soothed the voices in my head, nor relieved the severe weight of guilt that settled like a slab on top of my chest.I hadn’t so much as stepped outside my study in seventy-two hours. Meals were neglected, papers stacked and letters unopened, and a constant procession of servants and counselors knocked on my door, greeted with progressively violent salutations. I could not show my face to anyone at the moment, not fake being the strong, decisive Alpha they all were in need of while my emotions were barely in my grasp.The unfinished bond was eating away at me, providing me with every emotion Lily felt as though they were drops of poison seeping into an open cut. Her grief, her fury, her resolve — all of it poured into me through our link, coursing through me and mingling with my own hatred of self to th

Chapter 77

Lily's POVSomething fundamental had changed inside of me during my visit to the old prison cell. Where I used to wear my heartbreak like an open wound, it had turned hard and brittle – a diamond-sharp clarity that cleaved down through years of confusion and self-doubt.Now I knew why the Luna mark had never gone away, why I'd never turned my back on Darius despite every logical reason to loathe him. The unfinished mate bond was a shackle that linked us, keeping us pinned together in hell and neither could find peace until it was fulfilled… or until it was severed once and for all.“He didn’t mean to let me go,” I thought as I scrubbed the floors at the old grain storage building. What an asshole, right? This still doesn't excuse him doing what he did, but I think he knew, even when he told me to get out of his life, even when he put me in stasis, that I needed to be bound to him forever by more than a debt so I'd be a burden rather than an ally.I should have been an eruption of rage

Chapter 78

Darius's POVWhen I entered, the grand hall seemed like a tomb, packed with drawn pack faces, their very lives contingent upon my ability to step up and lead them through the crisis. Captain Marcus was next to the head table on one side and Dr. Matthews and three senior pack members were on the other side, expressions grave as they spoke about the hunting accident that had taken three of our own.I straightened my spine and stitched firmness into my voice as I neared, but each step felt like trudging through quicksand. The defective mate bond thrummed with Lily's rage and determination, and something else I didn't recognize, something that made my wolf itching and jittery under my skin.“Report,” I snapped, trying to sound more authoritative than I actually was.The three hunters had been chasing down a rogue bear by the eastern border, started Captain Marcus, his grizzled face pinched in distress. “The animal came out of nowhere and attacked them. Thomas Blackwood, broken leg and gas

Chapter 79

Darius's POVMargaret's frightened confession had brought to light the extent of the plot against Lily, but not its author. Was not willing to give under even the full weight of my Leading. Goodbye Cecelia” and that is when it happened, on her sweet lips, a mutual name was spoken. Her allegiance was as admirable as it was maddening.“Put her in the dungeons,” I'd told Captain Marcus. “No visitors, no contact with anyone until she feels like being more open with facts.”But by the hours after Margaret was arrested, my wolf was getting restless. The uncompleted mate bond between me and Lily was eerily silent, for once that silence was welcome; the voices in my head coming from it were a constant torment. "I need to tell her," I said out loud in my empty den, the words clawing the back of my throat like shattered glass. “Whatever I’ve done to her, I cannot stand by and let her be killed by someone else while I cower like a craven.”The very idea of going to find her felt as if I had bee

Chapter 193Sienna’s Pov“Hey man, can we talk?”Ashton called out from a distance.Adrian was still holding onto me. He responded to him “I’ll see you in a few. Just give me some time”.Adrian rubbed my hair and whispered into my ears “You’re gonna be okay, alright? Go in and take a shower okay? You’re sweating Sienna”.The preparations continued in earnest. Just when we thought that everything was working perfectly, we woke up to a very disturbing situation. That morning, as I got out of my bed, my phone notifications beeped.. Still in my sleepy state, I yawned and sulked “Who the hell is that? It’s too early”.I struggled to get out of the bed and into a sitting position. I reached for my sidestool, accidentally knocking the phone from the stool to the floor. “Fuck”.I stood up and reached for the phone on the floor. When I successfully carried it, I raised it to my face and pressed the power button by the side. The news my eyes saw made my heart leap very fast almost out of my c
