RIVENNA’S POV.**I wasn’t hallucinating or dreaming; I really heard Vaughn's voice in my head.Nor was I hallucinating when I felt the Lycans lips on mine. His lips tugged on mine as i let out a whimper.“You’re new at this, princess, I can tell." He smiled. “Tell me, am I your first real kiss? ” His voice zapped through my mind.“This can’t be real," I said, pushing back through the connection that felt like a warm zap through my mind as I pulled away from him.“It's as real as it gets, princess." I heard him again, and this time I stiffened, my gaze locked on his, for a moment forgetting that Wren was even in the room with us in the first place.As my lips tingled, my heart was beating so fast I thought it would pop out of my chest, and my mind was filled with questions.“What sort of trick is this?”“No trick at all—so easy that you haven’t even noticed you are talking back to me telepathically," he said, tracing my lips before his hands fell.“So tell me, do you want his hands

RIVENNA’S POV.**Rivenna stared at Vaughn in awe; she could see the outright devotion on the male's face as his rough, calloused, yet warm hand caressed her face.She could see the anger he held in her place.Why did his words and touch make her want to confess everything she had been keeping to herself? Why did he make her want to lean on him?But this one daunting thought had come back, knowing this was the exact way Wren had taken root in her heart.Just a small kindness he’d shown her had made Rivenna fall deeply.It had made her give up her inhibitions when he was around. She couldn’t make that mistake again.“I never trust the words of males driven by power because that is what you all want in the end.You trust your sweet nothings with lies and make women swoon,” Rivenna muttered as she pushed his hands off.“Wren might be a liar, but I do know for a fact that your words of devotion to me mean nothing when you are a lycan,” she said as he took her mouveil from the floor.“Tho

Vaughn stands like a true beast guarding the cave, His build towering over the Onyx wolves as his eyes had never shifted from the doorway of the cave.Something in his blood ran cold as he felt something amiss in the silence that wasn’t long.As the ground began to rumble, a golden beam of light pierced through just as the rumbling stilled, with a silence that unsettled Vaughn.The priestess had then calmed the crowd. “Her wolf must be powerful; let’s not panic," she said with weary eyes as the Lycan stared at the cave.“Help me! Someone!" Vaughn felt Rivenna’s piercing, desperate voice through the telepathic bond, and his eyes changed to their cruel crimson.“It is not yet time!” The priestess called just as Wren also raced toward the cave, his eyes gleaming with jealousy and greed.“If anyone is to enter the cave, it is me!” Wren roars out as he reached the entrance, but an invisible wall held him back as he stared at the priestess.“What the fuck is this! Let me in priestess!”

The crowd falls silent from the lycan’s declaration, and Rivenna's eyes were still on Vaughn’s frame.How proudly the male stood, how he defended her and didn't back down from his choice as he entwined her hands with his, holding firm with no hesitation.“This is truly absurd, Princess. You need to think this through! The Aralez lycans have done nothing but lie to us.They brought a mere warrior to have as your mate; that was their plan from the beginning, to demean us and mock us.Especially now that you are wolfless, you will be treated as mere livestock by them. Princess, please!” The elder spoke.“You wonder why the moon goddess did not bestow on you your powers? It's because you chose wrong! And you are far too stupid to see that."Another elder pointed, and this time there was no mercy from the lycan.Vaughn was swift, quick; in a blur he was by the elder's side.His hand wrapped around the male's neck as the man's legs dangled. The elder reached for a dagger to stab Vaughn.But

“I accept your banishment."Silence loomed from Rivenna's response. Ryson's and Wren's eyes were wide as saucers.None of them at all expected Rivenna to have said that, including Vaughn, who watched her.Yet he could feel her bravery when she held tighter to him, anchoring herself in mutual support as she squeezed back."If you do not accept Vaughn and Darian...then I will leave the Onyx Pack.""S-sister, this is absurd; look at what you are saying. You have been taken care of, cocooned, and given the best of things in life and weak love by me, after Father!" He said.“You cannot possibly be serious,” he panicked.“So what if you see me as only weak? Do not forget the days when you were sick and Wren was nowhere to be found.I dealt with the pack finances behind the curtains, and I made sure your medicines were all made,” she said to Ryson, who looked embarrassed and enraged once again.“I see what's going on here now; you think using yourself as leverage will make me take down my de
