Chapter 21 - Holly

The cabin was quieter than usual when I finally managed to reach it. For a wolf with a normal sense of smell, finding the place would have been a task of only a few moments, but now I was kind of lost in my new "home" and had no idea where Prince Noah could be.Hesitantly, I walked through the corridors, trying to find any clue as to which of the many closed doors might be his room. Or perhaps none of them. Alpha Kaia's mate had said he exercised his wolf to try and speed up his healing, so maybe he should be looking… In the forest?Good heavens, Holly, couldn't you have done the easy task, which was to find him?"Miss." A voice behind me made me jump.Trying to stop my heart from leaping out of my chest, I turned to find an older man I'd never seen before. He was

Chapter 22 - Holly

When I was a child, I think on a field trip with our kindergarten teacher, I was able to enter the Alpha library only once in my life. And I remember thinking it was the most fantastic place I had ever seen in my entire life. Of course, neither I nor any of the other children were allowed to touch the books. We were too young, and our teacher said we could come back and read them when we were older.My parents never let me go back, but I never forgot that place.And I mean, how incredible was a huge room where you could gather all the knowledge that existed in the world? You wanted to know more about the human world? There was a book for that. Want to learn about the culture of any other pack that existed in the world? There was a book somewhere, waiting to tell all you about it. You want to learn how to use plants

Chapter 23 - Holly

“You came all the way here pretending to be an innocent girl, reading books…” With each word he spoke, my heart seemed to beat faster “Or were you lurking around the house, waiting for a moment when you could find me, wearing that dress, to try and convince me to consummate this damned marriage?”“W-what?!” I gasped, my face starting to burn “N-no! I would never dare to do something like that! I swear! I would never disrespect you like that, my Prince! A-and I would never disrespect your future mate like that! According to the laws of the Goddess, a wolf must remain pure until the moment he or she finds his or her fated mate…”“My fated mate, you say…” he sounds even angrier and, to my despair, his hand wraps around my neck, holding me in place so I can’t pull my face away fr

Chapter 24 - Noah

“Okay, Noah, I’m going to extend my arm close to your face as quickly as I can. Try to identify which direction…” Atticus’s condescending words are interrupted the instant I slam the wooden sword against his forearm “Fuck! At least let me finish! What happened to make you so angry today?!”Instead of answering him, I just growl through my teeth, the hilt of the wooden sword beginning to creak in my grip. I've been restless and angry since the wedding the night before, but I can't say it's really anyone's fault but my own.The truth is, I'm fucking frustrated. Both my human and feral sides. And not in the conventional way.Sex isn't really a significant part of a shapeshifter's life until your mate shows up. The Goddess seems to have made sure of that when she hatched her ridiculous plans for all of us. I've heard that a few are capable of feeling desire and genuinely falling in love with another wolf, even without a bond. That's not well-regarded, however.I think after the conversatio

Chapter 25 - Holly

Despite spending all my free time in the library lately, I haven't run into Prince Noah again. And I didn't even know if I could call that good or bad luck.Memories of what had happened the night before flooded my mind, sending a warm shiver down my spine, making my skin crawl. Goddess, I don't think I've ever been so confused in my entire life, and I wasn't even talking about my body's reactions... Well, at least not completely.Was he testing me to see if I wanted to seduce him or something? Or did he want to fulfill his promise and create a cub to be his heir, without needing a mate?Just thinking about that possibility makes my cheeks burn, and I put my book aside, trying to calm myself. Whatever his motivation was, I probably didn't need to worry. Prince Noah seemed stubborn and had a strange way of looking at

Chapter 26 - Noah

My head was killing me.I had spent the entire night trying to force that damned wolf to start acting the way it should, but the bastard had apparently attacked me back. It was only the second time in my life that I had lost consciousness and become completely vulnerable to anyone who came near.And, for the second time, the little thing was there to help me.We were in the kitchen now, my exhausted body stretched out in a chair as I listened to her move around. I wasn't sure what she was doing, but there was a confusing smell of herbs all around. It was actually hard to concentrate with my head spinning like that, so I didn't even care. All I wanted was to try to sleep, but the pain hammering in my temples was making even that difficult.

Chapter 27 - Noah

The moment I opened my eyes, I knew I had overslept.To tell the truth, I couldn't even remember the last time I had truly… rested. Not just stayed in bed until after sunrise, but actually recovered a good portion of my strength.Damn, that potion the girl made for me last night might not have been poisoned, but it certainly had something good in it.Instinctively, I reached for my right arm, searching for the gash the sword had made when I passed out… But there was nothing there anymore. Which was how it should be, obviously. But, after not feeling the beginning of healing last night, a part of me had inevitably felt that my whole body was becoming incapable of healing itself.There was the tea she gave me, but… Thinking that it had actually helped

Chapter 28 - Holly

The herbal tea I had made for Prince Noah had brought his fever down faster than usual! I saw it with my own eyes! Which meant that all those nights studying in the library and learning which plants I could combine were working! Which also meant that I needed to keep testing and experimenting! Maybe I was really close to finding the mixture that would help him with his blindness.Well, I didn't know if I'd be lucky enough to avoid being beheaded the next time I broke so many rules, but for the first time in my life, I seemed to be getting lucky. So, I guess I needed to take advantage of it.That was why I had brought one of my books to the main garden of the cabin. There were some plants there that I had never heard of, but Elliott really planted all sorts of things in his garden, so I thought it was a good idea to

Chapter 29 - Noah

I've been testing everyone around me's theory and trying to pamper my inner wolf with less intense training routines.I had absolutely no help. I remained blind as a bat, and the only thing that had really changed in my routine was that, whenever I finished exercising, I had a lot of idle time on my hands.So, I had developed the habit of following my wife.Just to check if she wasn't doing anything suspicious, of course. Someone who had to do that, with her hobby of tinkering with supposedly healing, but also potentially dangerous, plants. The fact that my wolf was enjoying all that it's just a detail. It's not like I was seeing her anyway. I just stayed hidden, smelling her and listening to her mixing a bunch of plants together in the kitchen, laughing and muttering t

Chapter 30 - Holly

My hopes had been a bit up and down lately. Well, mostly down, if I were honest. I had so much hope in the potion ingredients I read about in that book. And finding out that Prince… I mean, that Noah had already undergone several treatments with experienced healers, even from other packs, made me feel…As if everything I was doing was in vain. As if that terrible nightmare was just waiting to happen at any second.I was trying hard not to believe it, though. I still had stacks and stacks of books full of knowledge to put into practice!But lately, I've been starting to wonder if I shouldn't boost his strength a little, not with tea, but with food.Timidly, I crept closer to where Noah and his men were training in the forest. My body trembled subtly every ti
