Chapter 1: The Dead Sister.

Sabrina’s POV.My husband's smile died the day my sister did and sometimes, I think he buried me along with her."Good morning, Damien. Happy anniversary!"Damien sits at the head of the dining table with the pack’s daily newspaper in his hands. I place his breakfast in front of him as I speak, but there's no response. It's like he can't see me.The only other chair in the room isn't beside his the way a married couple's would usually be. It never is. My chair is at the other end of the table.I lower myself into my seat slowly and try not to feel hurt, but I fail. Today is our second marriage anniversary and my husband isn't looking at me.I'm reaching for a fork when Damien finally lifts his gaze, but he doesn't direct it at me. He looks past me."You're late," he says flatly.Anyone else would think he was really looking at something behind me but I know better. Damien Prince, Alpha of the Silverstone pack, just doesn't want to look at me. The sight of me disgusts him.I glance

Chapter 2: Second guessed.

"Luna Sabrina, Alpha Damien and the rest of the pack are waiting for you outside."I nod to the maid and slip into my running clothes before making my way downstairs.Tonight is a pack run. Pack runs are simple and they usually help me get my mind off everything.With tensions running high because of the recent rogue attacks, I suggested we do them more than usual and now the pack has taken to going on runs every other day.For every other pack member, it's optional for them to participate in the pack runs, but for the Alpha and Luna, going on a pack run is compulsory.I stand at the edge of the clearing, my pants and top hugging my body tightly as I stare at the slight fog weaving through the trees.Damien's voice booms through the air as he addresses the small crowd, "The aim of the run tonight is simple. Hunt!We're going to track a deer, bring the meat back, and gather under the night sky where we'll have dinner together, as a pack!"Loud cheers ring out immediately from the pack

Chapter 3: Messing up all the time.

The rest of the pack leaves immediately we get back to the packhouse.Anger hangs heavy in the air and the worst of it is directed at me.I linger near the treeline, muttering under my breath. I know what I smelled. There was a rogue in the woods.Heavy footsteps sound all around me but I don't turn. No one’s going to be looking for me tonight.My skin prickles with goosebumps when Damien's raspy voice growls close to my ear, "You cost us the hunt tonight."The shiver that walks down my spine is uncalled for, but I take a deep breath and turn to face him. Damien's eyes are filled with a kind of disappointment I didn't see in the eyes of the other pack members. He looks annoyed and angry, but he was there wasn't he? He was there when they all started dismissing my signals and doing what they wanted.My jaw clenches stubbornly and I stand my ground, "I smelled a rogue in the woods.Garrick lied about not getting anything. If I'd just followed the scent I tracked...""The objective of

Chapter 4: The Ravine Road.

The rain hammers on the windows of the packhouse like it wants to break in.I’m upstairs, in the private living room of the Alpha and Luna with my knees drawn up to my chest and a blanket around me as I stare at the empty driveway.An hour has passed since Damien drove off. One full hour where I've been staring at the text message that has burned itself into my mind.Who would send something like that? And were they even referring to Damien or was I just making a fuss over nothing again?I've tried calling Damien's phone but it's gone straight to voicemail.I tried getting through to him on the mindlink but there's nothing too. The silence tells me he's shut me out completely.I've tried telling myself the text was just a prank, something a cruel pack member is probably doing to make me feel even worse today, but I don't believe it.Thea is also pacing, making my mind restless. She only does this when she senses danger. My heart feels tighter than it's ever been and I tell myself to

Chapter 5: Shut up and get out.

The hospital smells like antiseptic and sterilized surfacesI'm sitting on a metal chair outside Damien's room, my soaked clothes dripping water onto the floor as I stare at the wall in front of me.The nurses word's from a moment ago still ring in my head, "We can't let you in to see him yet, Luna Sabrina. Alpha Damien is still stabilizing and.... Only family can come in to see him in this state."I should have fought that. I should have screamed at the nurse, reminding her one important thing they all seem to forget in this pack, "I AM HIS FAMILY. I'M HIS WIFE!"Damien being in the wardroom is the only thing that stopped me. The noise would probably disturb him and that's the last thing I want right now. It's been some time since then and my phone has died. I didn't charge it…. I don't want to get another message. The door to the ward room opens again and I sit up, a shiver of cold running down my spine as the cold air from an air conditioner hits me.The head healer of the pack,

Chapter 6: Her Stepbrothers.

I'm sitting in my bed, wrapped in one of Damien's old hoodies that I stole from the laundry as my heat courses through me like fire in my veins.My wolf has been restless all through the night. She's been pacing with worry and need for our mate, and this hoodie calms her down a bit. The hoodie smells like him.I pull the fabric closer to my nose, breathing in again as my stomach clamps down in pain. I haven't slept all night either.A knock comes from behind the door and it makes me flinch, "Luna Sabrina?"A tired groan leaves my lips. I don't want to get up. I just want to lie in this bed all day and not... move.The knocks come again, faster and more insistent this time, "Luna Sabrina. There are two men at the door. They say they're here at the Alpha's command. They want to speak to him."Oh fuck.The knocking starts up again and it's just plain annoying now, "Luna Sabrina?"I scream in response, "I'm coming damnit!"Dragging myself up from the bed is easier now that my temper is

Chapter 7: Calm before the storm.

One week later.My body is burning, and the packhouse has never felt more like a cage than it does now."Luna Sabrina?" The knocking has become constant, never ending.Lucius and Thorne have only been here for less than a week and they already have the entire staff in a tizzy."Luna Sabrina. I'm sorry to bother you again Luna, but I need your opinion on the dishes for breakfast this morning. Mr Thorne complained about his meal last night.He's... He's threatening to hurt anyone who brings him the wrong breakfast, but we don't know what the right breakfast is. He's refused to tell us what he wants."For the goddesses sake. Who acts like this?"Is that you Lyra?"The knocking stops and I pick up the cold rag i've had on my neck and drop it back into the water. She responds, "Yes Luna, it's me."I hesitate for a moment but ultimately decide with a sigh, "You can come in."The door opens and closes as Lyra steps in. Her reaction is almost immediate, "Oh, Luna Sabrina... I didn't know yo

Chapter 8: Like a Fly.

A nurse stares at me strangely as I walk down the hallway of the hospital the next morning.A bolt of panic races through me and I sniff myself, trying to smell for signs of my heat. Why else would a nurse be looking at me that way?When I open the door to Damien's ward, I see there might have been another reason.Lucius is in the room with Damien, a map spread out on a small table by the side of Damien's bed and several other maps on several other things in the ward room.An unwelcome flash of memory comes back to me and for a moment I see myself in the room of my stepbrother, a male werewolf with an odd interest in maps.Thorne is here too, leaning against the wall close to the window with his arms crossed. I catch a sight of his tattoos again for the second time since they've come back into my life and my neck swerves away quickly.I’ve always liked the sight of tattoos. I find them attractive, tattoos I mean. And tattoos on Thorne... Nobody looks at me as I walk into the room. T

Chapter 9: Placeholder.

No place has been set for me at the table.There has always only ever been two chairs in the dining room Damien and I have our meals in. He asked them to remove all the other chairs the night we got married and he set ours as far apart as they could be.For as long as I can remember one chair has always been at the head of the table and the other has been at the end, but today the seating arrangement has been changed.Lucius and Thorne sit a respectable distance from each other, meals in front of them and eyes on me.Thorne is the one trying to rile me up but it seems both of them are waiting for a reaction.After what happened at the hospital this morning, I'd be foolish to give them one, except silence has never been a suitable answer with these two. I learnt the hard way not to let them have the last word, ever. I walk as I respond."I live here, so I take care of the things that are here. I wouldn't expect guests to understand." I look around, hoping to get my lunch and get out o

Chapter 10: They’ll help you.

It takes me a moment to get over the surprise that roots me to the floor.There's a number of emotions running through me right now that I can't process. The first one among them is shock.I'm still standing at the doors when Damien is wheeled past me by Lucius. Thorne is following close behind and when he sees the look in my eyes, he looks away as he mutters, "We'd have told you he was coming home tonight, but we didn't have the time to."There are traces of embarrassment in his eyes when he looks at me and notices my continued silence. He rubs the back of his neck nervously, "Do you think you can snap out of shock fast enough to do something for dinner? The doctors told us he hasn't been eating at the hospital, and he needs to if he wants to recover. We suspect he's used to eating food from the packhouse so that could help."I take a deep breath and swallow the rage that bubbles in me.My husband was coming back home but I'm the only one that didn't know.I ignore Thorne and turn
