PRIMUS ALEXANDER'S POV I felt it. The feeling of Aquamarine’s blood on the dagger. I couldn't help but wonder what she was doing and how exactly she cut herself with a dagger by this time of the day.As I entered my room, the first thing that hit my nose was the scent of a variety of food on the bed.Still warm. Followed by the sound of rushing water from the bathroom.I was looking forward to a warm relaxing evening. Maybe I would get Aquamarine to satisfy me. But as I approached the bathroom, I caught sight of a bright green light shining outside the window. It was soo bright that I had to shield my eyes despite the heavy downpour.But it didn't seem natural at all.“Aquamarine?" There was no answer.Suddenly, a strange sensation washed over me, like a command snapping into place. I felt the urge to run. My body began to shift, my beast was taking over. I ran out of the room, racing down the corridors like a possessed beast I couldn't control.Nothing else made sense to me.No

PRIMUS ALEXANDER'S POV I stared at Aquamarine, taken aback by her question. Send her away? Back to her old pack or wherever my other girls were? "Why would you think that?" I asked, trying to sound calm, but my voice betrayed me, coming out sharper than it should. "What happened to the ladies before me? Don’t they also have children for you," she said, her voice barely above a whisper. "Am.... am I just here because my looks intrigue you? My hair, eyes and the scroll. What if I didn't have all of that?" A pang of discomfort hit me. I never realised Gaia's presence would disturb her soo much. "I never planted my seeds in them. I never formed a bond with them, nor did I intend to." Aquamarine's eyes were on mine and I could see the vulnerability in her eyes. It tugged something deep within me. I tucked some strands of hair away from her face. "But with you... it's different. You’re my mate. I want you by my side. Don't I need to know my mate's identity? You're too good to be

LUNA AQUAMARINE'S POVI remembered everything that happened that night. I felt everything that night. Every heartbeat, every frantic touch and every whispered word.From the moment Alexander and his men came running over to me. The moment Alexander pulled me out of that tree, the way he froze on the spot and just stared.I remember the terror in his eyes and how his heart raced while he ran back to the castle.I remember how his voice broke while calling for Juliet and Kath. His eyes were wild, red and trembling as he stared at me. His whole body trembled as he kept mumbling words in my ears.The way he held me close. The way he rocked my body like a child, as if he was scared I would break but at the same time, like he never wanted to let go. Even when I screamed, he still held me tight.I never for once thought he cared about me. Not even an inch. Not even a speck of dust. But his actions that night said otherwise.He cried. Raged.Apologised.Cursed himself. Blamed himself. He s

LUNA AQUAMARINE'S POV “Let’s go back,” Alexander said, his voice low. He lifted the gem in one hand while holding onto me with the other. His grip was firm. Too firm.He pulled me along, not giving me a second to ask more questions. I didn’t even notice the moment we left that dark, suffocating room. One moment, I was surrounded by shadows and flickers of unnatural fire. And then the next… we were back in the open corridors of the castle. I don't know how he did it or where we passed.But it wasn’t the same hallway he had dragged me into earlier…… it wasn’t the one I remembered.Everything looked different. It smelled different. It felt different.This one was warmer, familiar. I followed him quietly, my heart thudding. I didn't know what to do or say, my mind was swirling with questions.. What was that place? Why did it smell like dried blood and ashes? Why did it smell like death? Like the gem he was carrying.Why did he act like that? Why did his eyes change? Why was it distant?

LUNA AQUAMARINE'S POVHe didn’t miss it.“What’s wrong?” he asked, coming forward.I shook my head. “Nothing. I just… I thought—never mind.”He reached out and caught my hand. His touch was warm. Grounding.“You’re trembling,” he said quietly.I tried to pull my hand back but he didn’t let me. His thumb brushed over my knuckles and I hated how my heart reacted.Even after everything, I still wanted to collapse into his arms.But I couldn’t. Not with this secret weighing on me.He looked down at me, golden eyes softening just enough to make my chest ache.“You don’t have to tell me now,” he said. “But when you’re ready… I’ll listen.”My breath caught.He was being kind. Patient. The worst part was—I didn’t deserve it.He had gotten rid of Gaia. He had spared her for me. He trusted me enough to show me his secrets. Gave me a piece of his power, his gem, his sacred space.And me?I was hiding a blood pact.***********The Next Morning*****************The next morning came far too quickly
