“I had no idea anyone knew about what had happened. The burial place of the great king was hidden”, Jerome says.“Well, the shaman told me. All the covens were alert when it happened. They tried to help.”Jerome punched the table, leaving a huge hole. “They're noatch for that witch. She sold her soul to the devil”, he says. “Same as her lover. He killed my parents you know. And I was just a boy.” He stretched and looked at me.“Pray tell me, how old do you think I was when my mate died?” He put a hand up to stop me from answering. “I had just completed. 15 full lunar moonns. She 14. My parents told me I was so lucky, to find her so early in life.”I said nothing in response. “You being a child when your parents dies doesn't move me to sympathy. I am not helping you for any reason. I want to kill her.”“Very well”, I say. “The witch will die by your hands.”He nods. “Good. Well, your men need nourishment, so do you. I'll go let them come in.”“Where would they go to?” I looked around

Alex's POV“How far have we gone?” I ask George. “We're in the middle of the lands now, where they call the whispering harrows.”It had been six day, every night I shifted and announced my presence in the Lucid lands, a sign of peace. The alpha ignored me.He didn't come out, didn't send an emissary. Straight up no answers. This part wasn't a safe place for people that are not familiar and we knew first hand. A spider bite had killed one of us already, slowing is down for a full day.“Does he want me to fight him?” I ask, talking really to myself. My pack members are exhausted, the heave sun and rains making them lethargic.“Maybe you should. I don't know why that's not your first instinct.” Previously, I would have just hunted them out. I was almost always the most dominant wolf wherever I went. This time though, I wanted to try another tatic. My aim wasn't dominance, it was a treaty.“I'll make a call tonight again. If no response, we'll homoir his wishes and go away. Hopefully Yo

The first thing I noticed as I rode into The Grey wolves pack land was the emptiness. Yesterday was the festival of lights. Surely they had moved on from the horror of Alex barging in.The normally lit road was quiet, and I could hear my heartbeat over the sound of the bike. I realized I was scared. Scared if facing them. Scared of remembering how bad the pack members had treated me.I drove straight to the temple. I parked the bike on the patch of grass that leads to the door, standing and looking at it. I had never stepped goor inside the there, always praying outside. It'll change tonight.The sound of the hinges groaning ached my ears, making me wonder when last prayers were held there. The head priest was no where to be found and I walked into the darkness.I quickly struck a light and lit up the candles that hung along the wall, watching the light illuminate the room. Then I saw them.Members of Grey wolves pack were huddled in corners, a sheet over their face. “I knew it wasn't

The shorts I decided to wear were similarly way too close to the colour of Alex's eyes. I frowned and pulled them on my legs, reminding myself I was just overthinking things. I wondered what top I'll wear and a brilliant idea came into my mind. I put on matching socks and sneakers, and opened the door to my room. Looking down the empty hallways, I darted quickly to Alex's room. I pushed the door, praying the hinges made no sounds as I sliooed inside the room. It smelt heavily like him. Cinnamon, sugar and man. Way too much testerone. I opened his wardrobe and saw my target. A huge liming of black T-shirts and I grabbed one from the hanger. It went down, passing the length of the shorts so I stuck the back into my sports bra and left the front completely covered. Afterwards, I stood in front of his mirror, pleased with my results. Next to his boots, Alex has a drawer and when I opened it, it was different keys stored in little spaces to separate them. Neat and conviently saving me

Clarissa's POV Daia kicked my chest and a loud whoosh left my mouth.“Protect your core, Rissa. Stop letting them hit you.”I gritted my teeth. “Do you think I'm not trying to do that?” I asked.The triplets sat down at the edge of the stage, watching me with so much boredom on their face. Yesterday had gone by quickly, even the festival wasn't celebrated. The shaman told me that there was war coming, no time to celebrate now. “Stop punching like a pussy.”, Crysillia drawled in her deep alto voice. “I have a pussy,” was my very pathetic retort and she let out a snort laugh, confirming it.“What's holding you back?” Another hand flew directly to my face.This morning, I was woken roughly by Donae. I would be fighting not one but three shifters today.“Rissa, do you remember what you learnt yesterday?” Donae called to me.I did. My claws had elongated for the first time ever yesterday evening. I was so excited, I hugged the shaman without retracting them in. She didn't mind, even thou

Alex POVI stood at the gates to the black blood castle, George by my side. “Have you told her goodbye?” he asked. “Yes, I did.”He hissed. “I can't believe you went back to say bye. You're falling for the girl”, he snapped out. I looked at him, “You do not tell me what to do.” I stated. “Yeah, but this is me telling you as your best friend,” was his come back.The pack had to be divided into two, half was coming with me, while half was to stay behind and watch over our lands. I trusted Donae enough to know she'll give them their fair share of work. The clan lands had to be protected. Yomen coming this close was bad.I couldn't imagine him attacking us again. I still remembered the screams from my mother when he had ripped out my father's heart, and then the silence. That was what haunted me the most, silence.Kingsley walked up to me. “We're ready to move Alpha.” He informed me. He was one of the young soldiers I had gotten from Jonathan’s pack, and he was a strong wolf. “You'll ru
