Selene POV I stifled a smirk as my Mother rejected my Father's advances for what felt like the hundredth time since we returned to the palace. "What on earth is going on? Aren't you supposed to be training?" Evangeline whispered to me. "Yes. But not before issuing a little payback." Rather than attempt to recount the events, I placed my hand over my sister's and showed her a snippet of the conversation I'd had with my father. "Selene... you didn't!" she gasped, her whisper squeaking as the pitch of her voice rose in shock. I simply shrugged, feigned a look of innocence and turned my attention back to my parents. "Hey... Dad." The word still tasted strange on my tongue, "Need I remind you of the grave and mortal danger being faced in the human realm and the lives that are dependant on my training?" My Father turned to me, my Mother taking the opportunity to slide out of the corner he'd backed her into and make her away across the room. "Of course. Forgive me, daughter. I

Aiden POV As I sat staring out the window of my bedroom overlooking the field that led to the great forest for what felt like the hundredth night apart from Selene, I prayed. The silence was deafening. I suppose I thought she might hear me, answer... Come back to me. There had been no activity since the gathering, which I'm certain was intended to be our slaughter. Something stopped the attack or someone... A knock at my door broke me from my thoughts. "Aiden? Sorry to intrude, I saw the light..." "Come in, Blake." Blake had been apart from Evangeline as long as I had been apart from Selene, and I recognised the look in his eyes and the fatigue in his soul. It was weakening us both, though not as much as it should have been. Wherever our divine mates were, they were well and making sure we were as well. "I thought they'd at least have sent word by now..." he mumbled, half to himself as he poured us each a glass of whiskey. "There must be a good reason for it. Though I

Aiden POV My mind was racing as the blurred stone walls that made up the cell I was now trapped in became clear. That voice... I'd heard it before, but where? Who was it? How did they overpower me? Was it a betrayal? Gabriel. He was the one that sent me here. That son of a bitch, I should've known better than to trust him. I could hear muffled voices in the distance, but the volume suggested they were drawing nearer. A quick scan of my surroundings confirmed my suspicions. I was strung upside down, ankles and wrists bound by a metal so strong I couldn't make it flex with all my strength. Below my arms, which were hanging above my head, was a chalice with a distinct red liquid sitting in it. Dried blood on my palms indicated it had likely come from my wrists. As the footsteps neared, I closed my eyes, and the creek of the door alerted me that I had company. Three sets of heavy footsteps entered, and I focussed on slowing my heart rate, for little good it did me. "Reall

Selene POV"This is crazy..." Liana, my wolf, scolded in my ear. "You felt it, Liana. The pain. Whatever is happening to Aiden, I'd be surprised if he can withstand it for much longer.""But should we not at least have told your mother? I see no good coming from sneaking away on our own.""The only one that might have come was Evangeline, but I couldn't risk it. We have enough power to face whatever lies ahead, Liana. You can feel it as well as I can.""Exactly, I can feel it. It's volatile, and you've barely scraped the surface of being able to control it. You're being reckless, Selene, and you know it.""I'm not being reckless. I saw the vision, I know what this could mean. But how much longer do you want Ronan to suffer?"There was a long pause in my mind, and I wished Liana was in her corporeal form so I could get a better read on her. As strange as it sounds, I enjoyed having her by my side instead of it having to be one of us or the other. Even though it had been that way for m

Selene POV“She will kill us if she finds out we were here.”“Then we best hope she doesn’t find out…”“She’s the Moon Goddess Selene, exactly how do you plan to keep this a secret?”“Hush, Liana, Goddess or not a daughter has her ways of evading her mother’s eye….”Liana, my wolf was cautious at the best of times. A nice balance to my impulsive nature. As the first daughter of the moon goddess, you could say I didn’t exactly get out much. But I had been working on this plan for some time.As I made my way through to the forest I made sure to take in every sight and sound. The smell of the water trickling through the stream, the crisp scent of the pines. The gentle crunch of debris as I made my way along the dirt path. The moon illuminated everything, almost like daylight. I

Selene POVAs I made my way toward the festivities from the forest line, I realised that The Harvest was something else entirely when you saw it up close.The wolves sipped greedily on an amber liquid that held an extremely prominent odour. That… and something else was thick in the air. Of course, the unmated females were in heat. Sending out their scents in the hope of finding their fated mate. Given that many of the wolves seemed to be doing a lot more than dancing, I’d say it was working for a number of them.I was broken from my trance when someone grabbed my arm a little too firmly, and pulled me toward them, spinning me hard into their chest. I looked up into a set of very glassy eyes before I was assaulted by his breath, stale with the amber liquid.“Well…. What’s a nice harvest like you doing in a wolf like this?” He slurred while maintaining his

Selene POV “I’d like the answer to that question as much as the next wolf, but don’t you think it might be in our best interest to run now and play detective later?” Liana was right, we had to move or risk exposing ourselves to every werewolf from every pack in the world. That was most certainly not the plan. “Alright old friend, it turns out a warrior is exactly what I need tonight, you’re in charge” We took off toward the forest and shifted mid-run. Liana was a magnificent wolf. Her fur pure white, with an almost iridescent sheen. Our eyes matched in our usual form, a dazzling sapphire blue. I had dulled their appearance in my human glamour so as to not attract too much attention. A lot of good that did me. We lost the pack and made it to the portal with minimal effort. Even a pack of lust-driven, unmated wolves would be no match in speed with a deity. As we stepped through the portal I shed my glamour, taking on my usual form. My snow-white hair fell in thick braids down my bac

Aiden POV“So, you’re telling me you don’t remember anything?”“Nothing, no one does. The whole night is a God damn blur. Must have been some good whiskey”My Beta Blake was one of the unmated wolves affected last night. But as was the case with each of them, he had no memory of the beautiful she-wolf that seemed to cast some kind of spell over every unmated male in the vicinity. Every unmated male that is, except me. Don’t get me wrong. She was the most striking she-wolf I had ever seen, and when I saw that Neanderthal groping her body without her consent, I wanted to tear his throat out. I wanted her alright, but I didn’t turn into a rabid animal like the others.I was beginning to think I was going mad. But she was real. Of that much I was certain. And I couldn’t get her out of my head. Before I could continue questioning Blake, we wer
