Emma’s P.O.V I had been patient. This past week I had been sneaking out to consume as much animal blood as I could. It was hard at first but I knew that this was better. At the same time, I had been slowly poisoning the blood stores Aamon and Luci used to feed, both were too nervous to leave the castle. Apparently, Aamon was planning some sort of ritual to evoke more power, some great weapon that would make him unstoppable. The shadow child has come back occasionally, I hadn’t quite figured out how to summon him but it seemed to be when I was calm or in danger. He had helped me greatly setting everything up for my revenge. And now it was time. My heart fluttered with nerves as I snuck through the dusty halls, my plan would have weakened them both but I knew I still would be no match to them in combat. I had to trick them. I walked down a spiral staircase coming to an old heavy door, taking a deep breath I readied myself. I had not been down to the dungeons in a long time

Emma’s P.O.VI sat my back against the cold stone bricks of this disgusting castle. It was calming in a sense, the coldness reminding me that I deserved nothing less. It was my fault for everything. If I had just been a bit stronger, a bit more like Sera then maybe she wouldn’t be dead. Mother wouldn’t be dead. I looked up at the ceiling and watched as a small spider strung its web as my heart longed to go back. Back to the house out in the woods, back to the small town, back to a time where life was good.“Emma?”I heard Luci call as she entered this room at was apparently mine.“You still haven’t eaten? My dear, you will grow weak. That would be a waste.”Her tone was soft, it had been since I had been brought back here. She almost seemed nice but I wasn’t going to fall for it again. She was just as evil as Aamon. A monster. They made me a monster. I felt her presence as she sighed heavi

Damon’s P.O.VI had not slept in three nights. I couldn’t, not until Sera was safe back in my arms. Sam growled inside my mind, pacing in a sense fuelling our combined fear and dread. He begged to take over and find her himself but I couldn’t allow that. We had followed her when she first took off, yet that somehow made her run faster. I slammed my hand down on the desk that held our plans to relocate her in frustration. How could I have let myself scare her like that? Had been too clingy? What had gone through her head? We had won, she… she had won. I had never seen such sights of strength and fearlessness. It had been awe-inspiring beautiful and a show of just how much she deserved to be Luna of now, the biggest pack in existence. So what had driven her away?“Alpha”Carlos appeared nodding his head in greeting, his solemn look giving away the news he came to tell me.“We lost her trail.”I couldn&

Sera’s P.O.VMy heart was racing with excitement and absolute terror. I was pregnant. Damon was going to be a father, me, a mother. I couldn’t wrap my head around it. How? I mean I know how it happened but… HOW? I wasn’t ready for this, I couldn’t do this! Darren looked at me concerned, squeezing my hand tightly as we walked down the stairs of the packhouse.“My dear, please try and calm your heartbeat. I promise it will be over before you know it.”I was thankful he mistook my anxiety for the ceremony, I did not want to tell him the news. I attempted to smile back at him but I guess it was more of a grimace as he sighed and continued.“If you really don’t want to go through with this Sera, I can cancel it.”I shook my head, part of me so happy that he would do that for me and another part of me still screaming in terror at the idea of being a mother.“I’m okay, just… ne

Sera’s P.O.VTime had surprisingly passed so quickly, it had now been 3 months since I lost my family. Yet today, today I was gaining a new one. It had been so hard to let go of the idea I could still save Emma, Alpha Darren had been the one to console me with that grief. Emma was a vampire now, in Aamon’s control. There was nothing I could do for her. Carole had taught me so much about how a Luna is expected to act, and run a pack. I was pleasantly surprised to find that essentially my job is just to make sure everyone is safe, loved, and supported. For some reason, I thought I was going to be like a royal system. Danni had not only taken a great liking to me but was convinced one day I was going to be her stepmother. I couldn’t help but laugh at the idea, Damon and I had not even discussed having children of our own yet. Speaking of Damon, I felt a grin form on my face thinking back to how darn excited he was when I asked for us to hold the ceremony. He had

Sera’s P.O.VI sat in the meadow that had at one point apparently been my mother’s garden, it laid in ruins. Overrun with weeds that had taken over the aged brick beds that had once fenced the more delicate flowers against the grass line. A cold wind had come over the land bringing in winter but for me felt almost like a sign from the Moon Goddess herself, as if she too was mourning with me. I had lost. Everything. My father had vanished, Emma, she was lost. Her vampiric face flashed before my eyes again, the venom and cold hunger they had held as she bit down on my flesh. I knew deep down it had not been her fault, I knew she did not have control. But, I would be lying if I didn’t admit the fear I held. Star still had not returned, my mind was hollow and depressing. Constantly replaying everything I had ever said to my mother that had hurt her, all my childish mistakes, and all of my toxic attitude. I couldn’t even remember the last time I had told he

James P.O.VI couldn’t help but grin as I sat upon my throne of Jasper, sipping from a crystal glass holding the blood of a beautiful and enchanting woman. She had been so kind to me, directing me, aiding me and she tasted so sweet. Years of planning, of searching, had finally stopped. I had found her. Salvation.Her mother, she would surely be weeping now. Knowing that even her and that idiot Fredo’s deaths couldn’t stop me from taking what was mine. Pity, really. Fredo was made to rule, to lead great armies. But he was blinded, by her, that harpy. He knew my plans to overthrow his father, even once supported me in my cause. Yet, as soon as he laid eyes on her… She destroyed him. Convinced his brothers to flee, to join the disgusting mutts over their own kin. Disgusting and weak were the so-called royalty. Their father, King Zeroth at least fought, but his age made it too easy.I sighed deeply before taking another sip of the sweet nect

I felt conflicted as Victor re-dressed himself, part of me wanting nothing more than to never leave this moment. For once, I felt happy. Content even. I knew it was almost stupid of me to think that, but I couldn’t help it. It was as if as soon as my wolf had come upon me the world had shifted. I just knew I knew that I loved Victor. I wished I had of given the idea more credence sooner, and not wasted so much time chasing Xander. Xander… why did his name still bring that heaviness to me, was it true? That I had multiple mates?“My Luna?” Victor called me back to reality with a look of concern.I felt oddly guilty, as if it was wrong of me to have any remaining feelings towards him, that even the mere thought was somehow a slight against Victor. I took a deep breath before shaking my head and getting dressed myself.“Laura?” He repeated, his tone steady and yet his eyes showing a vulnerability I found hard to ignore.&

Hello everyone, I am sorry if this chapter update disappoints any of you as I am unable to reply/comment on chapters at the moment due to problems with my phone. Essentially, if you missed my last comment I have been having the worst luck recently, my laptop decided to play up (wouldn't turn on etc), my phone is an older model so I can not rely on that to update chapters so had left a previous comment advising that until I can get my laptop in a better state I am unable to update chapters. Today I have seen comments saying that the site is suggesting my book is completed, this is incorrect. I am doing my best to get my tech fixed or to find alternatives, I have managed to get some life into my laptop but are having issues with word. I also have a day job so unfortunately can not focus all my energy on this at once. I completely understand your frustrations and can tell you I am very frus

“No… it’s can’t be true…” She whispered as Victor glared at her before glancing at me, worried. “What? What does that mean?!” I asked as Victor picked up another shirt covering the mark. “It means…” Victor sighed, pained. “That I am your second mate.” I stared blankly at him as Rebbeka looked between us horrified and confused. “As in... my second chance mate?” I asked hopeful, yet understanding what this really meant…. “No…” Rebbeka said softly, her eyes flicking back to my mark. “It means you have more than one.” I looked at Victor, my heart hurting at his jealous and pained expression. I didn’t want this… “So… he is her… first mate... ?” Rebbeka asked Victor nervously as if I was no longer in the room. Victor gave her a sad smile nodding, “that’s why I couldn’t kill him… I wanted to… fuck I still do… knowing… knowing that a part of her will always love him… no matter how far she is from him, no matter how hard

I had expected to be alone for a while once Ellen left to find Domini, and yet no sooner had she left Rebbeka was at the door. A grin plastered on her face, her eyes wide with joy at the mere sight of me. It made me somewhat uncomfortable, she seemed to see me as … as an actual Luna. “Luna!” She exclaimed happily letting herself in, glancing around in disdain at Victor’s room, almost in the same vein as I had. “I had assumed he would have… done something in here…” She mumbled to herself before standing a few meters away from me, one hand on her hip looking down at me with excited eyes. “Luna Laura, I’m sure you are quite busy at the moment… well after the events of today” she smirked as if holding back a giggle before her eyes narrowed and I saw a flash of anger that chilled me. “Of course Alpha Victor has advised me you are insisting on being present during… during the interrogation of the vampire.” She spat vampire with such pure hatred I felt my heart

“What… Laura?” He asked hurriedly before briskly walking over to me, and glaring at Ellen. “What did you do?” “Me?” Ellen asked pointing to herself as he growled, “I didn’t do anything!” “She didn’t… Look… Victor… I’m… I’m sorry about… well about before…” I felt exasperated by the inner turmoil of emotions running through me. He gave me a strange look, before sighing and pressing his forehead against mine. I was surprised how sweet and loving his action felt, his skin seemed so pleasantly warm against mine instantly calming down that strange panic “My Luna, It’s okay. I may have reacted… well… a little overreaction really.” He sighed again before planting a light kiss on my forehead. “This room used to be my parents, I just never had the… desire or need to change it dramatically.” I felt more guilt bubble inside me as he kissed my forehead again. “You didn’t know, besides you are right.” He pulled away to give me a small yet sa
