KELLY THOMPSON'S POVOh moon goddess, I can’t help but feel so attached to him, yet it’s heartbreaking that he’s never once looked my way with those dangerously attractive blue eyes. No, instead, his thoughts and affections are glued to that annoying girl, Betty Nord. Ugh, it’s infuriating!But honestly, why am I even bothering? My parents, loyal betas to Alpha King Don Bentley, made the ultimate sacrifice two years ago during the deadly battle against the North pack to save his son, Jason.In acknowledgment of their bravery, the Alpha King boldly declared, “The daughter of the Thompsons will marry my first son, the Alpha heir Jason Bentley, on her eighteenth birthday, once she’s awakened her wolf.”I have to admit, I loved every bit of that speech at my parents’ funeral for one big reason: I had a secret crush on Jason, but I never had the guts to tell him.Of course, Jason was already smitten with that girl Betty. He’s like a lovesick puppy chasing after her just because she looks j

SIX YEARS LATERLORRY SPRINGSTONE'S / KELLY THOMPSON'S POVWow, time really does fly! Here I am at twenty-five years old, after six amazing years in Liverpool, away from my family and the whole werewolf scene. Believe it or not, I’ve settled in quite nicely—I even run a school! A human school, no less. Can you believe it? And yes, I’m still a werewolf.It’s funny; no one really cares where I came from or what I look like. All they see is who I am today. Here, I’m known as Miss Lorry Springstone, the director of one of Liverpool’s top medical schools.Along with my two best friends, Leila and Dora Woods—who, by the way, are twin sisters—we do our best to keep this school at the forefront of medical education. I handle the administration, but I often jump in to help them out with their biology and kinetics classes.When I first arrived in Liverpool, I got admitted into the public university’s medical science program quite easily, thanks to the advanced knowledge I gained at the South pa

LORRY SPRINGSTONE'S / KELLY THOMPSON'S POVHearing the name of my ex-husband sends a shiver down my spine. However, I manage to stand still as if I was hearing that appellation for the first time in my life. Knowing the name was that of the ruler of the land, I prefer to keep my mouth shut, making hence sure not to say anything disrespectful toward him or his authority. A crime of lese-majeste they say. Mr. Braxton looks at me haughtily, remembering our meeting earlier in the day. His wolf inside emits very unfriendly sounds against me, waiting for the human side of Mr. Brandon to let him take over, so that he will teach me a lesson I would probably never forget.The tension between both of us is palpable and goes higher and higher as we fiercely stare at each other. I'm not going to let myself be intimidated by this messenger who thinks he's superior to me, a mere human (again, in his mind). It's only when a young servant of the pack makes her appearance that the tension reduces to

LORRY SPRINGSTONE'S / KELLY THOMPSON'S POVWhen the majordomo Tina escorts me to the obviously renovated guest room of the palace, Jason's words kept echoing in my mind, their true meaning unclear. I settle into the lavish shelter, my mind races with conflicting emotions. The opulent surroundings are really a stark contrast to the quite simple life I've led for the past six years, and I can't help but feel out of place. This turns out indeed to be a life so foreign to me now.Anyway, that's not why I am here. So I leave my personal feelings aside and stop the contemplation of the luxuries of my room. I unpack right away my medical equipment and set up a makeshift lab on the ornate writing desk. Then I begin the medical analysis of my patient's samples although it's already quite late. And as I am examining the first elements, my thoughts keep drifting back to the frail crown prince in the royal chamber. Could he really be my son Eden? The timeline fits, but he looks so different fro

LORRY SPRINGSTONE'S / KELLY THOMPSON'S POVTHREE DAYS LATER...Another day has risen since my comeback to the South pack. However, today or more exactly tonight, with the gods' blessings, it's going to be a new departure for me and my son Eden. Yes, indeed my son. I'm totally certain about it now.Over the past three days, I have been immersing myself in Eden's care, monitoring his condition very closely and adjusting his treatment as needed. With each passing hour, I have felt the bond between us growing stronger. The way his eyes light up when I enter the room, the trust in his voice as he answers my questions with no apprehension. It's just as if some parts of him recognizes me as his biological mother, even though for him it's just subconsciously.*****SOME HOURS LATER...Finally, here comes the evening. As I'm tucking Eden into bed after another round of medication, I find myself unable to resist asking him the question that has been burning in my heart for the past three days.
