Chapter 21

"It's the truth," Kyle said, his amber eyes never leaving mine. "I've been in love with you since we were kids, Imogen. Since before I even understood what that meant."I laughed, a bitter sound that made several nearby students glance our way. "Love? You call what you did to me love? Reading my most private thoughts to the entire pack? Making me a laughingstock?"Kyle's face crumpled slightly. "I was fifteen and terrified of what I felt for you. When I saw your letter... when I thought it was about Marcus..." He ran a hand through his dark hair, that familiar gesture of frustration. "I lost my mind. I wanted to hurt you the way I was hurting.""Well, congratulations," I said, my voice shaking with barely controlled anger. "Mission accomplished.""I know." His voice was barely a whisper. "I know, and I've hated myself for it every single day since. Do you think I don't remember the look on your face that night? Do

The alarm cut through the air like a knife, its high-pitched wail making my teeth ache. Students froze around us, then chaos erupted as everyone scrambled toward exits."That's the territory breach alarm," Caspian said, his voice tight with tension. He grabbed my arm, pulling me toward the door. "We need to get to the safe rooms."I yanked away from him. "My grandmother...""Will be fine. She's with the elders." His eyes flashed gold, his wolf rising close to the surface. "Imogen, please."The voice in my head laughed, cold and mocking. *-Run all you want, little princess. I've found you at last.-*My legs nearly buckled again. Caspian caught me before I hit the floor, his arm strong around my waist."It's him," I gasped. "He's here. The voice in my head."Caspian's face went rigid with fury. Through our bond, I could feel his protective instincts flaring like a wildfire. "Stay wit

Chapter 23

The man smiled, the expression never reaching his cold eyes. "An old friend of the family. I've been looking for the Lancaster heir for quite a while. My promised mate. Of course, her father backed out at the last second, and let's just say my father wasn’t too pleased.”"Promised, mate?" My voice came out as a strangled whisper. The world seemed to tilt beneath my feet, reality shifting like sand. "That's not possible."The man's cold smile widened. "Your father didn't tell you? How fascinating. I wonder what other secrets died with him."Kyle growled, the sound vibrating through his chest. "You're lying.""Am I?" The man's gaze never left my face. "Ask her grandmother. Ask her about the betrothal contract between the Lancaster and Silverclaw packs. Ask her why they've been hiding all these years."

Chapter 24

I felt the blood drain from my face. Alphas were rare enough, one per pack, bloodlines carefully guarded and preserved. The idea of multiple Alphas banding together, submitting to a single leader... it should have been impossible."You're lying," Asher said, though I could feel his uncertainty through the bond."Am I?" Xavier raised an eyebrow.“He used blood magic on them, all of them. It would have happened to my father as well if he had allowed our union to form a bond with him through their daughters. How’s about this for a fuck you?”My hands began to swirl with the same coloured light, sending it to the ground like smoke.The smoke-like light spread across the gym floor, seeping into cracks and crevices with an otherworldly glow. I could feel the power flowing through me, ancient and wild, unlike anything I'd experienced even during my shift. It was as if breaking that blood cont

Chapter 25

"Magic," Caspian said from the backseat, his voice unusually reverent. "Ancient magic. The kind that's supposed to be just legends now."I glanced at him in the rearview mirror. "What do you know about it?""Only what I've read in the old pack histories." His eyes met mine briefly. "Magic tied to bloodlines, to the first werewolves. It was believed to have died out centuries ago.""Well, clearly it didn't," Asher muttered, his knuckles white on the steering wheel as he took a sharp turn onto the forest road leading to the pack house.Kyle leaned forward, his breath warm against my neck. "Are you okay? I can feel your exhaustion through the bond."I nodded, though in truth, I felt like I might collapse at any moment. The adrenaline was wearing off, leaving me drained in a way that went beyond physical fatigue. "I'll be fine. I just need answers."The pack house came into view, a sprawling stru

Chapter 26

My grandmother sank to her knees, tears streaming down her weathered face. "Forgive us," she murmured. "We did not know."The power surged through me again, and I felt my lips moving without my conscious control. "You hid her heritage from her. You allowed her to believe she was nothing when she carries the oldest magic in her veins." The voice softened slightly, though no less commanding. "But I have watched over her. I have waited for her wolf to awaken, for her power to emerge."Kyle moved toward me, his expression a mixture of awe and concern. I could feel his emotions through our bond, fear for me, not of me, and a fierce protective instinct that made my heart ache."Is she... are you hurting her?" he asked, addressing the entity that had taken control of my voice.A g

The Goddess. The memories came flooding back, the golden light, the voice speaking through me, the ancient knowledge that had poured into my mind like molten metal. I groaned and pressed my palms against my temples, trying to ease the throbbing."Where am I?" I managed to croak out, my throat feeling raw and scratchy."My room," Kyle admitted, and I could hear the hesitation in his voice. "Dad thought you'd be safer here than at your grandmother's house, in case Silverclaw tries anything else."I forced my eyes open, taking in the masculine décor, dark wood furniture, navy blue walls, and shelves lined with books about pack history and werewolf lore. It was surprisingly neat for a college-aged guy's room, though I supposed being an Alpha heir came with certain expectations."How long was I out?" I asked, struggling to piece together the fragmented memories of what had happened after the Goddess withdrew fro

Chapter 28

"Does it matter?" I laughed bitterly. "It's probably all over school by now. The whole pack has seen me... whatever that was."Asher took the phone from Kyle, his eyes narrowing as he read the message. "I'll find out who recorded it. And who's spreading it?""Don't bother," I said, pushing the food tray away despite my hunger. "It won't change anything. I'll still be the freak show.""Stop calling yourself that." Caspian's voice was sharp, commanding enough that my wolf instinctively wanted to submit. But I wasn't in the mood to back down."Why? It's what everyone else is thinking." I pushed myself further upright, ignoring the wave of dizziness that followed. "I've spent six years trying to be invisible, and now I'm the opposite. The Goddess's chosen one. The Lancaster heir. The girl who's somehow mated to all three Williams brothers. Take your pick, I'm still a spectacle."Kyle sat on the edge of the

The handle turned before I could finish opening it myself. Grandmother stood in the doorway, her weathered face creased with worry and something that looked like guilt. Behind her, I caught a glimpse of Alpha Williams, his expression unreadable."Imogen, dear," Grandmother said gently. "You shouldn't be up yet. The Goddess warned us you would need time to recover.""The Goddess warned you?" I laughed, the sound coming out harsh and bitter. "Right. Because apparently everyone knows more about what's happening to me than I do."I swayed on my feet, and this time I couldn't stop Kyle from steadying me with a gentle hand on my elbow. The contact sent warmth shooting up my arm, and I hated how much my body craved that comfort."We need to talk," Grandmother said, her eyes moving between the Williams brothers and me. "About your family's history. About the contract. About why your father made the choices he did."

Chapter 30

"Here," Caspian said, opening a door to a tastefully decorated guest room. "It's not much, but it's private."The room was beautiful, all cream and gold, with a four-poster bed and windows overlooking the forest. "Not much", by Williams' standards was luxury by mine."Thank you," I said stiffly, crossing to the window without looking at him.I felt him hovering in the doorway, the bond between us humming with his uncertainty. "Imogen...""Please just go," I whispered, wrapping my arms around myself. "I can't... I just need to be alone."He hesitated, then nodded. "If you need anything...""I won't," I said, cutting him off more harshly than I intended.The door closed softly behind him, and I was finally, blissfully alone. I sank onto the edge of the bed, my legs giving out as the adrenaline drained away. My head throbbed with exhaustion and the lingering effects of whatever the Go
