After that day Aria sent the maid to drug Deucalion and failed. She has been looking for any other means but it all failed. Deucalion was so fixated on searching for Malia at every cost. For months, Deucalion searched for Malia.He checked the roads first. Then the nearby territories. Then the neutral lands beyond Blackridge borders.Every report was the same.Nothing. No one had seen her. No one knew where she had gone.Deucalion refused to accept it. “She cannot simply disappear,” he said one evening, standing over a map in his study. “How can someone who has barely been outside before, just disappear without any traces. Just like that?”His father watched him from across the room. “She has been gone for months.”“I know.”“You have searched every territory within reach.”“Then I will search beyond territories within our reach, farther.”His father sighed. “For how long?”Deucalion looked down at the map. “Until I find her.”He meant it.He sent wolves to distant settlements. He que

The room was quiet except for their breathing and the soft sound of fabric sliding across skin.Deucalion had Aria pressed against the large bed that had been prepared for the ceremony. Her formal dress was already pushed down to her waist, the top half hanging open. His mouth covered hers in a deep, hungry kiss while one of his large hands slid between her thighs.Aria moaned softly into his mouth as his fingers found her.He rubbed her slowly at first, circling the sensitive bud with his thumb before pushing two thick fingers inside. He curled them against the spot that made her hips lift toward him, seeking more.“Deucalion…” she whispered against his lips, her voice already unsteady.He kissed her harder and moved his mouth down the side of her neck, biting lightly as he went. His other hand freed her breasts from the dress completely. He closed his lips around one nipple and sucked firmly, tongue circling the sensitive tip while his fingers kept working between her legs, pumping

“Is everything she just said true?”Aria stared at Deucalion. Her lips parted, but no words came out. “No,” she finally said. “She misunderstood me.”Elena lowered her eyes. “I did not misunderstand anything.”Aria turned toward her. “You are lying!”“Enough,” the Blackridge Luna said.Her voice silenced the room. She looked at Aria with a cold expression. “You will explain yourself, and you will not lie to me.”Aria swallowed. “I only asked Elena to take wine to Deucalion.”“Why?”“I wanted to speak with him.”“That is not what I asked.”Aria looked away. The Luna stepped closer. “Why did you put something in that wine?”Aria’s face went pale.Deucalion’s eyes hardened. “You did put something in it.”Aria said nothing.“Answer him,” the Luna ordered.“Yes,” Aria whispered.The room fell silent. Deucalion stared at her. “What did you put in my wine?”“It was only something to make you relaxed.”“Relaxed?”Aria nodded quickly. “I wanted you to stop thinking about Malia for one night. I

I was still lost in thoughts when someone suddenly spoke from the crowd. “I need you to leave before nightfall.” The words hit me harder than the cold wind outside. I looked at the settlement leader standing in front of me. “Leave?” He nodded. “Tonight?” “Yes.” Lydia stepped forward immediately. “You can’t be serious.” “We have no choice.” “There has to be another way.” “There isn’t.” Lydia pointed toward the crowd. “She has lived here for months. She has done nothing to anyone.” The leader looked at her. “And we are not blaming her for anything.” “Then why are you throwing her out?” “Because of Blackridge.” The name silenced everyone. He continued, “If Blackridge discovers Malia is here, they will come looking for her. We cannot risk the entire settlement.” “She has nowhere to go,” Lydia said. “That is unfortunate.” My chest tightened. Unfortunate. That was all I was now. I looked at Lydia. She was fighting back tears, and somehow that hurt more than the angry f

I barely slept that night.Every time another howl came from the forest, I tightened my grip on the knife and stared at the cabin door.Something about those sounds frightened me.I had survived Blackridge. I had survived being rejected by the settlement. I had survived walking through the forest while carrying a child.But those howls were different. They made me feel like I was being watched.When morning finally came, I packed my things.I didn’t wait.I wrapped Mara’s cloak around me, picked up my bag, and stepped outside.The forest looked peaceful again.That almost made it worse.I looked back at the cabin.“I’m sorry,” I whispered. “But I can’t stay here.”I had no idea what had made the cabin’s previous owner leave, and I wasn’t interested in finding out.I walked deeper into the neutral land.I stayed away from roads, paths, and anything that looked like it had been used by other wolves. I needed a place where nobody would find me.By midday, my legs were already aching.I r
