Chapter 31: Under The Moonlight

ANNABETH’S POVI couldn’t sleep. I tried.Not with the moon that full, so full it felt like it was calling unto me and definitely Not with the silence in the room pressing down on me like a weight.I paced the length of the room for the tenth time, bare feet silent against the cold floor. The bed scattered, all from my turning and tossing around.All I could think about was the moon. It had been calling me since dusk. Every new moon back home, I’d stand outside for hours, talking to the Moon.She listened to me. She always listened. And tonight, I needed her again. I stopped pacing and pressed my forehead against the glass window.The garden was right there, bathed in moon light. Empty and Quiet.If I could just step outside for five minutes, just breathe in that air and look up at the moon, maybe I’d feel somewhat at peace again. I stomped my feet on the ground. This is frustrating. After contemplating, I decided to act.“Chad?” I called. I knew he was somewhere around t

Chapter 32: Soulmates

Annabeth's POVI stood there, confused on what to say to him. “What are you sorry for?” I whispered. “For letting him take you,” he said. His jaw clenched. “For being a coward. For not speaking up or coming for you sooner. I told myself I was being careful, that I was making a plan. But the truth is, I was scared. Scared I’d fail. Scared I’d lose you for good.” Tears burned at the back of my eyes. “Tommy, stop.” i didn't like seeing him this way. Sad. “No,” he said, shaking his head. “You deserve to hear it. I should’ve been here earlier. I should’ve gotten you out the first night. I failed you.” I reached up and cupped his face in my hands. “It’s okay,” I whispered. “You’re here now. That’s all that matters. And I’m okay and alive.” His eyes searched mine, desperate for me to believe him. “I don’t deserve you saying that,” he muttered. “You do,” I said. “Because you came, didn't you? And that’s more than anyone else did for me.” He pulled me back into his arms, ho

Chapter 38: A Plan To Seduce

LUCIEN’S POVI’d been watching her since she stepped into the garden. She must have thought she was alone. Thought the cold and the moon were the only witnesses to her little prayer session. Cute. I stayed in the shadows behind a tree, silent as the snow, watching her. Chad and Victor kept loitering around like two overprotective mutts, but they were sloppy. I could’ve easily slit their throats and they wouldn’t have heard me coming.Annabeth. Kael’s little human. She stood there with her head tilted back, eyes closed, whispering something to the moon. Her curly hair spilling down her back, catching the moonlight.Pathetic.And Then he showed up. The little wolf boy. Tommy as she called him.I almost chuckled out loud when he stepped into the moonlight. What is this? Some kind of lovers reunion?At first it was entertaining. Watching her run into his arms like he was her salvation. Watching them whisper and cling to each other like long lost lovers who just saw each othe

Chapter 34: Caught Red-handed

ANNABETH’S POVThe moment Lucien vanished, my legs almost gave out. I was shaking.Not from fear for myself, but from fear for Tommy. Lucien saw everything. He heard everything. If he told Kael, if he told anyone, Tommy would be in danger and perhaps caught and Punished. I didn’t even want to think about what being punished meant coming from Kael’s men. Tommy’s words echoed in my head. I knew he hated me now. For betraying him.And now Lucien knew about it too. Goddess, I hated the way he said my name. Like I was a game to him. A toy for him to play with. And whatever it was that I felt towards him, was nothing but pure hatred and disgust. I hate how he looked at me and I hate how uncomfortable he makes me feel.I wrapped my arms around myself and hurried back inside toward the door. Chad and Victor were waiting just inside, both of them looking worried sick. “Annabeth?” Chad stepped forward. “Are you okay? What did he want?” I nodded quickly, forcing a smile I didn’

Chapter 35: Under My Skin

KAEL’S POVI hit the woods, running, as soon as the Moon gathering festivities ended. I left my guards at the palace, to make sure everything had properly ended with no problems left unattended.My mind was clouded by the thoughts of Annabeth and the moment I caught scent of her as I got closer to the mansion, I felt relieved. That sweet strawberry and lavender scent that intoxicated me.The air was also mixed with a foreign scent I didn't recognize.Surely some foreign wolves had been in my fortress tonight, as I have the scent of every wolf that worked for me, memorized, and these particular scents were new to me.I moved faster than I should have. Didn’t bother with the door as I jumped, entering the mansion through the windows high up. I needed to see She was safe and okay.I got to her room but she wasn't there. Then I heard her voice, she was speaking with Chad and Victor downstairs.I stood by her door, waiting, as she took two steps at a time up the stairs.She looked surprise

Chapter 36: Blood And Truth

KAEL’S POVI barely got a blink of sleep last night. It was impossible to sleep while she was lying this close to me. Every breath she took, every shift against the sheets, pulled me in. I lay there watching her, memorizing the way her lashes fanned across her cheeks, the way her lips parted slightly when she dreamed. Once the first light came up, I forced myself up, stretching out the tension in my shoulders. I checked in on Annabeth. She was still fast asleep, her face peaceful in a way it rarely was when she was awake. I smiled without meaning to and leaned down, pressing a kiss to her forehead. Soft. Barely there. I hoped it wouldn’t wake her. I dressed quickly in a simple grey top and sweatpants. I was free of palace duties today and planned on dealing with Lucien.The air outside was sharp with morning cold. I took a deep breath, letting the scent of damp snow clear my head. Then I caught it, Lucien's scent. Just who I was looking for. Sweat, steel, and that infur

Chapter 37: Trails Of Blood

KAEL’S POV~The training hall still smelled like blood and sweat when I left it. I should have felt better after getting it out of my system but I didn’t. Lucien’s words followed me down the cold stone corridors.“Are you even sure she values you as much as you value her, Kael?”I told myself I didn’t care what he thought. But It was evidently getting to me.My feet moved on their own, carrying me back to the east wing. Back To her. I didn’t knock when I reached Annabeth’s door. I caught her, pretending to still be asleep while her pulse moved rapidly.She was very much awake.She lay on the bed, eyes closed, face turned toward the wall. The act was almost convincing. I chuckled under my breath and shut the door quietly behind me. “I'll just go take a quick shower. Feel free to join me instead of trying to take a sneak peek.” I murmured. No answer. I allowed her have her little fake sleep victory.First, I needed to wash this dry blood off my hands and face.The bath

Chapter 38: Defending Home

ANNABETH’S POVI moved forward, trying to squeeze my way to the front door so I could see clearly. My shoulder knocked into someone, but I didn’t stop. I couldn’t breathe right. My chest felt like it was caving in with every step.I held my breath all through, and once my eyes caught sight of the people that were caught, it felt like I was going to have a heart attack.Tommy. No.My breath hitched and tears pooled up in my eyes, hot and fast. He was kneeling on the cold stone with his hands bound behind him, blood smeared on the side of his jaw. His hair was messy, his shirt torn. But his back was straight. He didn’t look broken yet, He looked furious.I turned to look at Kael who already had his eyes on me. He had a distant look in his eyes and I couldn’t really guess what he was thinking at the moment. His face gave nothing away. It was Stone cold. Like he wasn’t the same man who’d brought me breakfast this morning and teased me about faking sleep.He looked away from me and focus

Chapter 39: Consequences Of My Actions

ANNABETH'S POVGasps rippled through the crowd when the words came out of my mouth. Some even muttered my name like it was a curse.Goddess, I didn’t know where all that bravery came from.I kept walking until I was standing in the center where they were, right between Kael and Tommy. I could feel Kael’s gaze burning into the side of my face, but I didn’t look at him. Not yet. I looked at Tommy instead.His eyes were glassy now. “Annabeth, you don't have to do....”“Shut up,” I whispered to him. Then louder, to Kael, “You don’t get to do this. You don't get to torture my friends this way.”Kael’s jaw ticked. “You don’t get to tell me what I don’t get to do in my own fortress.”“I’m not telling you,” I said. “I’m begging you.”That seemed to catch him off guard. His brows pulled together, just slightly.“You think I don’t know what they did?” I went on, my voice rising. “I know. I heard about the guards. I know people died. And I’m not saying Tommy shouldn’t pay for that. But this,” I

Chapter 40: Heat Of The Moment

ANNABETH'S POVThe footsteps didn’t stop at the door. They came straight through it.The door swung open without a knock or warning and Kael came through slowly.His face was gloomy. No sign of rage, just exhaustion. His dark hair was damp at the temples, like he’d run his hands through it too many times. His shirt was half-undone at the collar, and there was a smear of dirt across his knuckles.He stepped inside and closed the door behind him. The sound of the latch clicking making me jump a little.For a long moment he didn’t speak. He just looked at me. Like he was trying to think of what to say to me. I kept my face straight.The silence stretched until it hurt. My heartbeat speeding up by the tension that lingered. I wanted to say something. But I didn’t. Finally, he looked away from me. His jaw locked Then his eyes came back to mine, and when he spoke, his voice was low and firm.“Let’s get one thing clear.”He took a step closer. Then another. Until he was close enough that I
