Chapter One Hundred and Fifty One

CASSIAN’S POVI hadn't eaten in days, I knew fairly well I couldn't go on like this, but I couldn't bring myself to eat—not with the thought that Eloise could be out there, starving.Each day to me felt like a game of survival, a wager on whether I'd make it to the next. One thing kept me going, the thought that she could be alive out there, waiting for me.I threw on a coat over the buttoned shirt I had on just as a rap sounded at the door. Gideon let himself in. “I hear you’re calling for an assembly?”“Yes,” I said to him, “I think it’s high time I addressed the pack.”“Are you sure this is the right time?” he questioned, concern etched on his face“It seems there are no such things as right times.” I said, finally turning away from the mirror to take him in. While Gideon was indeed getting better, I could tell just by one glance that something was bothering him.“How is Katalier?” I asked casually, trying not to sound too prying.“She’s not doing so well,” he revealed, not bother

Chapter One Hundred and Fifty Two

GIDEON POVIt was two hours past midnight and yet I had no plan of returning back to the packhouse. I was at my usual training spot in the woods, shadow boxing; while it was way less interesting than fighting an actual person, it still served as the perfect distraction I needed right now.Just then I heard a twig snap, I paused. It could be wild animals, but my guts told me it wasn’t. I took my gun out from my holster, and turned off the safety.“Who’s there?”For a long moment, there was silence, and then someone stepped forward. Katalier.“Are you going to shoot me, beta?” she questioned through the mind link, her hands lifted in surrender.I quickly put away the gun. “Sorry, I didn’t know it was you.”“So, what are you doing out here at such an ungodly hour?” she questioned and I shrugged.“Trying to get my mind off some things,”“Is it working?”“It was.”“Right before I interrupted,” she completed, “Please carry on then.”“Why are you here?” I shot back.“I need a spar partner,”

Chapter One Hundred and Fifty Three

CASSIAN’S POVMagret had taken me to a lot of places to cure my ‘mutation’, and that had been when I met the warlock, Magnux for the first time. I could still remember how optimistic my mother had been about him, she’d been convinced a warlock as powerful as he was could ‘fix’ me and I’d finally be like the others, not the freak with two wolves. But Magnux had refused to do that, not because he couldn’t, but because it ‘wasn’t his place to do it’. He might not have been of use then, but I imagined a warlock like him would know a thing or two about Darth. I pulled open the hidden weapon department from beneath the bed. I wondered what Eloise would have to say if she knew the very bed we’d made love on, hid all of these. I loaded a duffel bag with riffles, hand guns, bane-grenades, silver daggers, star daggers and a few other randoms.I paused when I heard the door creak open, light footsteps followed as Layla walked into view. I quickly hid the weapons. She watched me skeptically,

Chapter One Hundred and Fifty Three

ELOISE’S POVCassian never once failed to visit my dreams, and perhaps that had been why I hated waking up from them. I wanted to be with him so badly, I didn’t care if it was only going to be in a dream.I woke up with a frown etched on my face. Waking up had become the worst part of my day. I rose from the bed, stepped into the pair of slippers waiting by the bed, and headed to the bathroom. Once done with my business, I’d been about to get back in the bed when I noticed the door to my room had been left ajar. Unlike the last time I’d left the room, it wasn’t a field of tulips flowers waiting beyond it, instead there was a living room.How long had that door been open? I wondered to myself. I knew fairly well I couldn’t escape this place if he didn’t allow it, but curiosity had me walking towards the door. I stepped out and into the living room area. There, I found Darth seated on a stool. The first thing I noticed were the bruises on his face and around his neck. I also noticed th

Chapter One Hundred and Fifty Three

As a boy, I had a fear of heights. When Nathan discovered it, he took me mountain climbing every week until I’d overcome that fear. I guess out of all the evil my father had done, that was the one thing I had to be grateful for.Magnux’s new hideout was a cave located at the very top of Veryl Mountain. The only way to get there was to climb the mountain which was thousands of feet tall–good thing I was never one to shy away from a challenge. My claws served as handholds as I climbed, along the way a rain of small rocks almost had me losing my grip. A fall from this height would have meant instant death, but I’d managed to quickly regain my hold before that happened. After several hours of insufferable climbing, I finally got to the top. Once on leveled ground, I lay on my back, taking deep breaths, and allowing my battered muscles a few moments to heal. The duffel I’d come with had been abandoned at the base of the mountain; I could only hope no travelers come across it.I walked t

Chapter One Hundred and Fifty Four

I downed the remains of my glass of Midleton, and proceeded for a refill. It was barely morning and I was already drunk. For the past weeks this had been how I spent my days—drinking and wasting away.What other things were there to do? I had no pack to run, no busy schedules, no appointments—nothing.I never thought leaving my pack was going to be easy, but I never prepared for it to be this hard either. My body had gotten used to the late nights and early mornings, it had gotten used to the busy schedules and now all of that was gone. It had taken me a while to realize losing my pack felt like losing a part of myself and now, I felt strangely… incomplete.I could still remember Eloise’s words, urging me to fight for my pack, but I couldn’t see how I was going to do that. I’d messed up big time, and while I could never regret my decision of coming clean to the pack, I wondered if what I’d broken could actually ever be fixed.“Alpha?” called my butler who was the only company I had le

Chapter One Hundred and Fifty Five

The news had left me feeling much more sober than I had felt in days. “We don’t have a lot of time, we need to get back to Winter-hill—I’ll explain on our way there,” Cassian said, and I’d spent no time asking questions as I headed straight for the garage.“Alpha—” Isaac had started before I cut him off. “I’m leaving, I have no idea when I’ll be back, you are free to leave or stay if you wish to.” The look on his face was one of astonishment, clearly surprised by the fact that me, who was nothing but a drunk mess only minutes ago, was back to my senses now.“O-okay,” He responded, quickly stepping out of the way.Once in the car, I hit the engine, going at full speed and yet it didn’t seem to be fast enough. The Netherlands Alpha briefly recounted his meeting with a warlock named Magnux to me, and from what I gathered we were to find some kind of enchanted ‘stone’.“I’m not sure I’d ever seen it—or maybe I have and I just didn’t realize it,” I responded to his inquiry.“Your moth

Chapter One Hundred and Fifty Six

On returning back to the packhouse, Cassian and I had split up. While he headed to Leonard’s old apartment, hoping to find anything that could be of use, I was at the pack’s record room, scavenging for information on Nellrose. There wasn’t much to find. Nellrose wasn’t a born-member of this pack, she’d been a member of a very small community of wolves before Leonard stumbled upon her, other than that, there was nothing on her.I put the files down, frustrated. It would have helped if my mother hadn’t been so secretive about Eloise’s biological mother.I could still remember the day my mother had returned to the pack with a baby in her arms. I’d only been five then—way too young to understand the concept of child birth and so I'd asked if she was my ‘new sister’. “She had no parents,” my mother had said to me, “That’s why we must take her into this pack.” How could a child have no parents? I wondered. And I only grew more curious as I grew older. Eloise looked nothing like the other g

Chapter One Hundred and Fifty Seven

CASSIAN’S POVLenoard had left more than a few things behind in his apartment at Winter-Hill—some things too personal that even going through them felt like intruding on his and his late wife’s privacy, but if there was something to find here then I’d have to be thorough.I searched the wardrobes, the drawers and cabinets, beneath the bed and just when I’d been close to giving up, I found something. I’d discovered it when I stepped on the area rug—there was something about the sound of the wooden floor beneath it that piqued my curiosity. I pulled away the rug, then ran my fingers over the floor. I tapped against it a few times and the sound that came was hollow. There was something beneath it.I went through Lenoard’s tool box for a crowbar and using it, I pried open the floor boards. Once I’d created an opening, I took out the rest of the woods. Inside the hidden compartment were books. Old, ancient looking books—judging from the paper type. I undid the book’s clasp and scrolled t

Chapter One Hundred and Fifty Eight

ELOISE’S POVI’d thought the days I’d spent in the room doing nothing were my worst days. Turns out, I was wrong—it could get much worse than that; like hours of doing nothing more than “meditating” in the “free air”, because Darth believed this was the only way I could get in close proximity with my wolf, and the rest of the hours were spent in physical training that left me drained and bruised by the end of each session.Darth was delusional enough to believe that his blood in my veins also meant I had a bit of magic in me, and if I tried hard enough, I'd be able to access it.I wasn't naive enough to think he was doing all of this for me. He needed a weapon and that was exactly what he was making me into.My limbs felt stiff as I returned back to the room, I crawled into the bed, waiting to be swept away by dreams of Cassian. That’s when I felt surge of pain at my lower abdomen. I'd had many contractions before, but none as paralyzingly painful as this. A passing thought went throu
