BACKWOOD GHOST

CHAPTER 21 KAI’S POVEveryone stormed out of the council chambers in a hurry to see the dead body. I held Serena’s hand and I moved in haste in front of the pack. My pack was in danger but all I could think of was the friction of Serena’s body against mine in my bedroom. The boiling blood in my veins should have cooled at the sad news but the fire that Serena lit in my gut seemed to burn brighter.The cold air at the border greeted me, pulling me back to reality. My beast was pacing underneath my skin, mad at the Witches' audacity to touch one of my own.Every guard we passed close to the border lowered their head in respect. They accorded the same respect to Serena. I’m sure they could smell her sweet scent on me, claiming my body. As we approached the body, the air was filled with the pungent smell of the rotting body. A wide circle had formed around him. Some of the pack members he was familiar with had tears in their eyes."Make way!" Kaelen’s voice barked, clearing the path for

THE BACKWOODS ROT

Chapter 22THE BACKWOODS PACKTRENT’S POVI stood on the balcony of my room, looking out over the pack that used to bubble with activity mere months ago. The Backwoods pack that used to pride itself on having the richest lands, vast resources, and strong wolves has been reduced to mere dust. The stench of illness and constant death filled the air. The pack looked deserted as people were too scared to leave their houses for fear of being the next victim of the strange illness.Death had come for us all and I couldn’t do anything as the Alpha. It started with the omegas—the weakest. Just last week, we lost three warriors. Their eyes would turn blood red, their skin would go pale, and within three days, their lives would cease to exist. We had a pile of dead bodies to bury every day. "You’re doing it again, Trent. Brooding will not take you anywhere.”Amelia’s throaty voice interrupted my thoughts. Her scent used lure me in. She had the best smile and her voice sounded so proud in my

THE BARGAIN

Chapter 23TRENT’S POVThe silence that followed the Dark Witches' appearance was heavy.They stood in a semi-circle around me, their eyes were terrifying and devoid of life. Amelia was still huddled on the cold floor beside me. She let out occasional whimpers. She was terrified. The one in the center, standing closest to me, tilted her head. Her lips didn’t move but she spoke. Her voice echoed in my brain, piercing my ears like needles.“Your heart is divided. You mourn one who is not dead.”I paused, clearly confused. My heart thumped against my ribs. “What are you talking about?”“The girl did not drown. She survived and now dwells in the midst of the Lycans.”My world shook at its foundation. Serena? Is she alive? I felt.….relief? I couldn’t figure out how I felt about this news. “She’s alive?” Amelia gasped, scrambling to her feet in shock. “How? No one can survive that steep fall. Besides, Serena can’t swim and she has no wolf.”“On the contrary, she has a wolf. A very powerfu

GODDESS IN THE WATER

Chapter 24SERENA’S POVMy frail hands could barely lift the weight of the training sword. Every muscle in my body was screaming for help. My lungs burned with every breath I took. My skin was drenched with sweat.“Again,” Kai’s voice sounded in my ears like a bomb.He was standing on the edge of the training grounds with his beta by his side. He watched me embarrass myself with this damn sword, not a single hair out of place. His presence filled the training ground with silent, predatory energy. The other warriors kept a respectful distance. “Kai, I can’t,” I panted, swaying from bearing the weight of the sword for too long. My hair was a tangled mess. Some strands clung to my sweaty skin. “Please, my legs are trembling. I’m going to drop it.”“Don’t you dare, Serena,” he warned. “This training is for your own good. Kaelen, your turn.” Kaelen moved too fast, his wooden staff came at me in a blur. I barely managed to bring my sword up in time to block his attack. He looked at me wit

THE MESSENGER

Chapter 25SERENA’S POVThe walk from the Moon Pool to Kai’s cottage was filled with intensity. Kai barely said a single word since he’d practically claimed me in front of the priestess. He didn't just walk me; he hauled me. His grip on my hand was firm. He walked with long strides. Waves of anger surged through him.The guards we passed on our way averted their eyes, moving out of his way to avoid his anger. My heart thundered against my ribs as I trailed behind him.The heavy oak doors of his chambers slammed shut immediately we entered. Kai didn't wait. He lunged at me, pinning me against the door with his entire body. His hands gripped the white strands of my hair slightly. He tilted my head to get a better view. His kiss claimed my lips fiercely. The taste of raw desire and musk hit my tongue. “Mine!” he growled against my lips, the sound of his voice vibrating deep in my bones. “You are mine, Serena. Not the priestess’. Mine!”I stood on my toes and wrapped my arms around his n

THE MESSAGE

Chapter 26SERENA’S POVKai led me to the interrogation tower where they detained Mira. I felt nostalgic as I walked into the quiet tower. The air here was so thick, I could barely breathe. Every footstep Kai and I took brought us closer to a past I thought I erased. Kai’s hand was steady behind my back, hoisting me up the stairs. His presence was an anchor, tethering me to the strong woman I have become in the Lycan Territory. The guard stepped aside, retracting the heavy doors. Inside the small cell, Mira was tied to a wooden chair. She didn’t raise her head when the doors opened. She was lost in her own world. My eyes trailed her frail form. She looked nothing like the Mira I left behind. "Mira," I called out. My voice sounded cold, stripped of the affection I once had for her.She flinched at the sound of my voice. She raised her head to meet my eyes. Her red-rimmed eyes filled with shame as soon as she saw me. "Serena," she choked out, tears rolling down her face. "I thought

SERENA’S RETURN

Chapter 27SERENA’S POVThe Backwoods pack was a shadow of its former self. Death hung in the air, clinging to the trees which stood like skeletons on the verge of breaking. You could smell the decaying bodies from a mile away. "This place reeks like a sewer," Kai growled, his nose scrunching to reduce the smell entering. He wasn’t comfortable leaving his people, especially given the threat from the witches, but I remained his top priority. "It wasn't always like this," I whispered sadly. “There was a time when the lands flourished.” I didn’t have good memories of this place but I cannot deny that their lands were once a sight to behold. As we approached the pack house, the silence struck me. There were no children playing, everyone seemed to find solace under their own roof. I could see some malnourished wolves on their porches. Their ribs were visible through their fur. Their eyes widened when they recognized me. They began whispering among themselves. I didn’t cower. I strutte

FEAST WITH THE LYCANS

Chapter 28SERENA’S POV“Let’s have dinner. We haven’t welcomed you as a proper guest.” Trent said, breaking the tension between Amelia and me. I stared at Amelia for a few seconds before following Trent to the dining area. Kai and Kaelen followed me closely behind. I froze when I got closer to the dining table. Flashbacks of when Trent and I used to have meals here haunted me. I stood at the threshold, my skin prickling. "I can’t do this, Kai. I can’t sit at this table with these animals and pretend like nothing is wrong."Kai’s hand rested on the small of my back and whispered. "You are doing so well, Serena. We are going to sit here and dominate. Let them know that they ducked up for treating you like that. Let them see that you are their only hope to survive this."His voice was low and comforting. I took a deep breath, smoothed the front of my dress, and walked in.Trent and Amelia were already seated. Amelia hung on Trent’s side like a leech. Her eyes kept darting towards Kai

A LOVER’S BURDEN

CHAPTER 29SERENA’S POVThe little hallway was as quiet as a graveyard. We left Trent behind to wallow in the pool of his own blood. That is exactly what he deserves. Amelia walked shakily ahead of us, her shoulders were hunched in defeat, but the devious look in her eyes didn’t change. I know that this timid act she is putting on will fade very soon. She still hasn’t gotten over the humiliation she faced at the dinner.She stopped at the end of a narrow hallway, close to the entrance of the servants’ wing. The smell of damp walls was so strong, it made my nose itch. She pointed to a door not too far from where we stood."This is where you will stay here," Amelia said sharply, trying to cover the fear in her tone. "It’s the perfect spot. Not everyone would be comfortable with having your lycans roam the hallway."I looked at the door, disgusted by the grime covering it. Kai let out a low chuckle in disbelief at her audacity. She didn’t know who she was messing with. "No," my voice e

MEMORY IN CHAINS

Chapter 30KAI’S POVEverything looked blurry to me. The stench of her father's quarters made me nauseous. I had to leave the room but my beast felt conflicted. Walking away was even more difficult. This discovery tore my heart in pieces. It is only ironic that the one person who could bring my raging beast to its knees is the one reason why my beast is mad in the first place. I felt ashamed for frolicking with the daughter of the man who cursed me. It felt like fate was laughing at me. How could I look at the woman I have chosen as my own without relieving my horrid past? I walked through the Backwoods forest, my boots crushing the grass undergrowth beneath my shoes. Fury burned through my veins like a volcano. I walked mindlessly for some time, following a familiar path. Tucked in the forest was a cave. A cave that held so many negative mementoes. It was hidden in plain sight and from my past knowledge, not many people from the pack come to this place. As I approached the cave
