Kailey’s POV

Since Elyra told me about the pregnancy, I’ve been in shock. Days passed, and I couldn’t bring myself to talk or even eat. My stomach growled from hunger, but I ignored it. The knot of emotions inside me was too tight, too heavy to untangle.Elyra had been patient, but I could see the worry in her eyes each time she glanced at me. She left me alone most of the time, respecting my silence. Still, I could hear her moving around the hut, the clinking of pots, the soft hum of her voice as she prepared food or worked on her weapons.But I stayed in my small corner, curled up on the rough bed. The weight of my thoughts crushed me. How will I survive this? I thought, over and over. Elyra has done so much for me already. How can I bring a child into this mess?Tears rolled down my cheeks as I stared at the ceiling. The more I thought about it, the more hopeless it felt. My mind wouldn’t stop replaying the past: the betrayal, the banishment, Ezekiel turning his back on me.Suddenly, I

    Kailey’s POV“Oh, I don’t know,” she said, pretending to think. “Maybe I’ll slip some sleeping herbs into your tea to make sure you stay in bed.”I stared at her in mock horror. “You wouldn’t dare!”She laughed, her eyes sparkling. “Oh, I would. Don’t tempt me, Kailey. I have a whole cabinet full of herbs, and I know exactly which ones to use.”I crossed my arms, pretending to look tough. “Well, the joke’s on you. Sleeping herbs don’t work on me. I’ve got an iron stomach.”Elyra tilted her head, a playful smirk on her lips. “Oh really? Is that why you got dizzy last month after eating my mushroom stew?”I groaned, covering my face with my hands. “That doesn’t count! Those mushrooms were weird, and you know it.”She laughed harder, doubling over. “Weird mushrooms or not, you still couldn’t walk straight for hours. Don’t challenge me, Kailey. I’ll win every time.”I couldn’t help but laugh too. “Fine, fine, you win. But you’re not putting anything in my tea. I’ll know.”“Oh, will you?” she said

    Kailey’s POV“Your belly is already protruding,” Elyra said as she walked into the hut, her arms loaded with fresh game from her hunt. She set the catch down on the wooden counter, brushing off stray leaves from her cloak.I looked up at her from where I sat by the small fireplace, cradling my stomach. “Yeah,” I said with a little smile, rubbing the slight bump that had grown in the past three months. “It’s like it gets bigger every day.”“You sure it’s a kid in there and not just food?” Elyra teased, a sly grin on her face. “I mean, with how much you’ve been eating lately, it could be both.”I gasped dramatically. “Excuse me! You’re the one feeding me like I’m an entire pack of wolves!” I shot back, laughing. “I’m just eating what you give me.”Elyra chuckled as she began cleaning one of the rabbits. “Well, you need the food. You’re not just you anymore, remember? There’s someone very special growing in there.”I couldn’t help but grin, even as I playfully stuck my tongue out at her. “Spe

    Kailey’s POVAlright, Kailey, spit it out,” Elyra said, her hands on her hips as she turned to face me fully. “What’s going on? Dreams like what?”I took a deep breath and set down the knife I was using to slice the carrots. My heart was pounding like a drum, but I had to get it out.“They’re weird,” I said finally, looking at the dirt beneath my feet instead of at her. “Like… they don’t make any sense. But they’re so real, Elyra. It’s like I’m there, living them.”Elyra frowned, crouching down in front of me so we were eye-level. “Okay, start from the beginning. What do you see in these dreams?”I hesitated, chewing on my bottom lip. “I see… a woman. She’s standing in the middle of a forest. The trees are huge, taller than anything I’ve ever seen, and there’s this… glow around her.”Elyra raised an eyebrow. “A glow? Like light?”I nodded. “Yeah, but it’s not just light. It feels warm, like it’s wrapping around me even though I’m just watching her. And she’s saying something, but I can neve

    Kailey’s POV“I mean,” she said, giving me a pointed look, “where are you going to go? What are you going to do? You can’t just stay in this hut forever, Kailey.”I frowned, her words hitting a nerve. “I don’t know,” I admitted. “I haven’t really thought that far ahead.”Elyra sighed, her expression softening. “You need to, Kailey. The world out there isn’t exactly kind to people like us. You need a plan.”Elyra leaned against the doorframe, her arms crossed. She gave me that look—the one that always made me feel like she was about to say something I wouldn’t like.“What if,” she said, her voice cautious, “you go back after your child is grown a little?”I stopped stirring the pot, my hand frozen in mid-motion. Turning slowly, I frowned at her. “You know I was banished, right?” I said, my voice low but filled with disbelief.“Yeah, I know,” she replied, shrugging. “But your child… he might want to know his father someday. Don’t you think?”I slammed the wooden spoon onto the counter, my ches

    Kailey’s POVI opened my eyes slowly and blinked a few times. Everything looked different. The light was softer, almost glowing, and the air felt thick but gentle against my skin. I sat up, confused.“Where am I?” I whispered to myself, looking around.The place didn’t look real. It was a forest, but the trees were massive, their trunks glowing faintly with an ethereal light. The leaves shimmered, like they were dusted with stars. The ground beneath me felt warm, almost alive. My heart raced. This wasn’t normal.“Kailey,” a voice called, soft and melodic, but commanding.I turned quickly, my eyes searching for the source. A woman stood a few feet away. She was tall, with flowing silver hair that sparkled like the night sky. Her skin glowed faintly, and her eyes… they were the color of the moon, bright and full of mystery. On her forehead was a glowing crescent moon. It was the same mark from my dreams.“Who are you?” I asked, my voice trembling.She smiled gently. “You know who I am.”I shoo

    Kailey’s POVNothing really,” Elyra said, flashing me a playful smile.I narrowed my eyes at her, grinning slightly. “Are you sure?”She tilted her head, still smiling. “None that I can remember. But if I do remember anything, I’ll let you know; I promise.”“You better,” I teased, nudging her shoulder lightly.Her face grew more serious, and she leaned closer. “Actually, there’s something I noticed in the woods today.”Immediately, my heart raced. “What is it?”“I saw a couple of men wandering in the woods,” she said, her voice dropping to a whisper. “They were far from the hut, but it looked like they were searching for something. Or someone.”“Men?” I asked, my voice barely audible. “Who do you think they were?”She shook her head. “I don’t know, but it definitely didn’t seem like they were just passing through.”A cold wave of fear washed over me, and my mind spiraled into panic. “Do you think it could be Ezekiel? Or his father? What if they’ve found me?” My words tumbled out in a rush, my

    Ezekiel’s POVI sat on the cushion in my chambers, staring at the wall as if the answers to all my problems were hidden there. My fingers twitched, restless and agitated. It had been three long weeks since I sent my men out, and they hadn’t returned. What the hell was going on? How hard could it possibly be to find one woman? Just one?“Such pathetic guards,” I muttered under my breath, the words spilling out like venom as I kicked the chair in front of me. It toppled over with a loud clatter, but it wasn’t enough to ease the storm brewing inside me. My wolf growled, low and furious, a sound that echoed the turmoil in my chest.“Calm down,” I muttered to myself, though the words sounded hollow. How could I calm down when it had been months? Months since I last saw her. Kailey. Her name alone felt like a blade twisting in my heart. I ran my hands through my hair, tugging at the strands as the memories came flooding back, sharper and more painful than ever.The door creaked open, and Mason

    Ezekiel’s POVI met his glare head-on, unflinching. “What does it look like?” I said, my voice hard. “I’m dealing with incompetence.”Mark’s eyes narrowed, and he stepped further into the room, his presence filling the space. The guards immediately straightened, fear and respect evident in their eyes. But I wasn’t like them. I wasn’t about to bow down, not now.“Dealing with incompetence by stabbing your own men?” he said, his tone laced with disapproval. “You’re supposed to be leading them, Ezekiel, not turning on them like some rogue.”I rolled my shoulders back, my temper barely in check. “They’ve failed me. Over and over again. I told them to find her, and they came back with nothing. What am I supposed to do? Pat them on the back and say, ‘Good job?’”His expression hardened, his jaw tightening. “You’re supposed to remember your place. You’re not just some hotheaded pup throwing tantrums. You’re my son, heir to this pack. Start acting like it.”I laughed bitterly, the sound harsh and

    James pov The conference room was just a stone's throw from where I was right now, I wasn't sure if I was doing the right thing, I couldn't really trust that rogue. However.I had listened to his heartbeat at the time, there was no way he could have lied to me.If Auren was taken to the conference room, then there must be a reason for that. Why was Cecilia doing this?.I had known her to be heartless but not to ti's degree, I have been doubting and forcing myself not to believe that Cecilia was behind all of this, but with the confession of the rogue, I didn't know what to think anymore. A serpent like Cecilia has been living in the pack house all this while. I shook my head as I began to jog through the hallway.The place was silent except for the sound of my boots connecting to the dry ground. My senses were at alert, and my eyes were watchful, I needed to be ready for anything. Right now my wounds had completely healed and I was back to my best, though not totally, it was all I

    LYDIA'S POV. It had been aWhile since I Was in the store room, I sag with my let's curled up in a corner, my knees pressed to my chest with my arms wrapped around them. My heart pounded in my chest so hard it echoed in my ears. The thick silence inside the room was only broken by the distant sounds of battle, the clash of swords, growls, and screams. Smoke drifted in through the cracks of the wooden door, making it hard to breathe.Jon had told me to stay put. “Don’t come out until I return. Promise me, Lydia.” His voice had been firm but gentle. I had nodded, and he had rushed out, returning back to the battlefield. That was... a while ago and right now I was beginning to get worried, I had no idea what was happening to Auren and James. I just couldn't stay here any more. I didn’t know how long I had been hiding, but it felt like forever at this point. Every second stretched like an hour. My hands were shaking. I wanted to believe Jon was still out there, alive, and would com

    James pov. With the few rogues I had encountered here inside the pack house, I was already convinced that they had gotten their way somehow.It was obvious there must have been an inside man, someone who had given them access into the pack house. Come to think of it, the rogues wouldn't dare attack the pack if they were not confident about the outcome. Someone was pulling the strings. I shook my head, holding my sword in my right hand. This was not the time to put my sword inside its sheath as there might be dangers lurking around the corners.Right now the wounds on my body had completely healed, however, the blood stains still remained on my cloak, a reminder of the battle I had been involved in a few minutes ago. The two who had taken Auren, they had come through this part of the pack house, I frowned, halting as I took on my surroundings. There was no one around, the whole place was totally silent, it was just like a graveyard, except for the loud screened from outside and

    Lydia's pov. The battle continued as the loud sounds of howls and metal clanging filled the air. I pressed my hands against my ears, trying to block it out, but it was no use at this point. The pack house was shaking. The screams of warriors, the growls of rogues, and the crashing of bodies against walls was everywhere.“Move! Lydia, stay close!” Jon shouted, grabbing my hand and pulling me through the corridor.Jon was one of the best warriors in the pack, always calm, always sharp and James had ordered him earlier to get me to safety. Another warrior followed behind us, tall and strong, but I didn’t know his name. His face was set, eyes darting back and forth like he expected an attack any second.“I’m scared,” I whispered as we ran.“I know,” Jon said, his voice steady. “But I won’t let anything happen to you.” We turned a corner, and my heart dropped. Part of the hallway was on fire, smoke curling into the air.“They’re everywhere,” the second warrior muttered. “We need to g

    Cecilia's pov. My heart raced, toes curled as I laid stretched out on the bed, both of my legs stayed handing in the air as all I felt at that point was pleasure, extreme pleasure.Damon continued moving back and forth, plowing into me with so much energy and I just couldn't hold back the moans which escaped my lips from time to time. I squeezed my legs, wrapping them against his wait and pulling him more into me as I reached my climax. My whole body spasm and in that moment, I also felt his rod twitching inside of me, in no time I could feel him filling me up from the inside.After that, Damon collapsed on me for a few moments before rolling off, we both laid back on the bed panting and trying to catch our breath.I can't believe I had given myself to him again, how could I do that? How could I let a rogue have so much power over me?. How could I let him have his way with me right here In the pack house?. Of Course I knew this as a disrespect to Ezekiel, I still had no regrets, a

    James pov As I stood on my feet, eyes locked on the rogue in front of me, I had confirmed his strength already and I knew this wasn't going to be an easy fight at all. If I wanted to win this, I would have to be serious with this. “Come on” the rogue muttered, cracking his knuckles. And cracking his neck. At this point I could hear my own breathing, rough, ragged, loud in my ears. The hallway was quiet, but only for a second. Dust floated in the air. Blood stained the walls, Of Course it was clear it was from the little fight we had. Some of those blood were mine and the rest of his. He stood at the far end, chest rising and falling steadily. Right now, His claws were out, long and black, tipped with blood. He was grinning, enjoying this. I on the other hand was tired, sore, and bleeding, but I still had my sword. However, my wounds were already healing. “You don’t look so good, Beta,” he said, taking a slow step forward.“You talk too much,” I answered, lifting my blade.We

    James pov. My mind was still occupied with the thought of how the rogues managed to get past the guards and into the pack house. A large frown appeared on my face as I inched deeper into the hallway. The pack soldiers had held their ground well, fending off the never ending wave of rogues, so how then were those two able to get into the pack house?.Seeing those two earlier only confirmed my fear, there were more of them inside the pack house, and these few must have not been in the sea of rogues who attacked the pack house. They must have snuck in through a secret passageway, there was no way they had done this themselves, it was clear that they had help from someone, someone inside the pack house. I gritted my teeth, my eyes sharp as I took in my surroundings. I wonder who it was, the one who had aided the rogues.Suddenly my mind went to Cecilia, I haven't heard or seen her since the beginning of the battle, where the hell has she been. Oh I just hope She has no hand in thisI

    JAMES’ POV. My wounds were completely healed and free from the poison, thanks to the Antidote, I was already back to full strength.My mind was still occupied with the thought of whether Auren was alright or not, it pained me so much that he was taken right in front of me, while I wasn't looking. I felt a tug in my heart as I advanced further, I had tried so hard not to show the pain I felt in front of Lydia, assuring her that I would find Auren, I was certain he was still inside the pack house, that was the hope I was holding on to. I knew something was wrong the moment I stepped into the hallway. The air felt off, too still, too quiet.Even with the fighting outside, the whole place was still very much silent which was off. The pack house was never silent, especially not with the fighting happening outside. My boots thudded lightly on the polished wooden floor as I moved deeper inside, every sense alert at this point. Whoever took Auren must have not gone far. Suddenly, I hear

    Kailey’s POV.I stood there captivated by the blood red flowers, they seemed unreal, scary and mysterious. Their red color reminded me of something.Blood. I continued walking, taking more steps and as I did, more and more flowers appeared in the groove. The scent in the air was more on this side, a sweet tang which also had a sweet taste to it, I wasn't sure how but somehow I could taste the sweetness in the air.What are these?. I couldn't help but wonder what the flowers were, the forest had shown me a lot of supernatural things which were white right now I was fully on my guard, I wouldn't let my guard down for now reason.Suddenly there was a whistle in the air, I paused, trying to figure out where the whistling was coming from but it felt like it was everywhere.My heart slowly began to pound in my chest, I took a deep breath and tried to focus on where the sound was coming from.My eyes widened as I noticed that the whistling was coming from the flowers,the blood red flowers
