Eve’s POV

This afternoon, Stefan had called an urgent meeting to his planning room and almost all of us were here. Me, Apollo, Lukas, Luna Jessica and Queen Morwenna.

Apollo cleared his throat, pulling a slim black portfolio from the conference table that he was leaning over.

“It’s Vesper.” He said, opening the folder. My heart caught at the mention of Vesper’s name.“Moonsong pack is suffering.”With a grim precision, he laid out several photographs in front of us. My hand shook as I reached for them. My heart broke at the images of my subjects being oppressed by Vesper. Some were being tortured mercilessly in the photos and others were either malnourished or unsheltered. The people in the photograph looked broken. My people looked broken.

I bit down hard, my lips pressing into a thin line as continued to flip to the remaining photos. As I looked at each picture, my anger simmered, heating my veins. Each one showed a different face, another soul that had fallen under Vesper’s brutal

    Eve’s POVIt was the next evening and I was in my room,fastening the last strap on my training vest when I heard a knock at the door. I half expected it to be one of the servants coming to remind me about my training session with Queen Morwenna. But instead of the servant, it was Stefan’s face that greeted me when I opened the door. He was standing there with a football tucked under his arm and a wide, almost mischievous grin on his face.“Good morning, babe.” His eyes twinkled as he held up the football. “I’m here to take my son to the football field for a friendly match.”The words took me by surprise, and for a second, I just stared at him, absorbing what he had said. Then, I burst into a laughter that I couldn’t hold back. “You want to tell him now?”He shrugged, casual but confident. “Why not? He’s going to be so thrilled.” I took a breath, still caught between nerves and laughter. “Well, I haven’t told Jameson yet that you’re his father.”“No worries, babe.” Stefan leaned an

On the last day of our training, everyone was gathered at the training field to watch us and to probably gauge my strength to know if I was good enough for tomorrow or not. Stefan, Luna Jessica, Apollo, Lukas and Jade were all here and I could feel their eyes assessing me.Queen Morwenna started at me first, launching herself toward me with a speed that made my heart stutter. But I didn’t flinch or step back. Instead, I lifted my hands and summoned the wind, letting it flow from me like water breaking through a dam. The blue energy surged forward, meeting her head-on.She dodged gracefully, sidestepping my attack with a skill that made it look easy. But I wasn’t deterred. I called the wind back, whipping it around her, trying to find an opening. She was fast, countering my every move, and each time our powers collided, a shock

    Eve’s POVThe next day, Stefan and his soldier stormed Moonsong packhouse very early in the morning. I walked beside him, Apollo and Lukas who seemed to be protecting as well.Every guard who dared to block our way as we surrounded the packhouse was flung back effortlessly by Stefan’s powers. He didn’t need to touch them before they were pushed and flung out of the way by an invisible force. I couldn’t help but smile at myself, impressed by him. Stefan was a literal war lord.When we got to the entrance of the packhouse, I was shocked to see that Vesper was already waiting at the entrance with his men flanking him. A sinister smile twisted his face. It was as though he had known all along that we would be coming.My stomach churned and I bit my tongue bitterly. "How did he know we were coming?" I whispered, glancing at Stefan, who even if he looked just as surprised as I was, didn’t show it. His face was stoic and completely blank. Vesper’s smile grew wider and as he spoke, his voic

Apollo was at their helm with his brown fur glinting as he launched himself into the chaos. Within seconds, Stefan’s soldiers and Vesper’s men clashed and the battle began.“Remember what I told you yesterday.” Stefan turned his gaze to me. The expression on his face was the most serious that I had ever seen him. “When I tell you to run, you fucking run. Understand me?”“I understand.” I nodded my head at him and my heart melted as he gave me a quick kiss on the forehead before unsheathing his silver sword and headed straight for Vesper who was waiting for him with a dark, amused smile on his face. “I still don’t get why you’re doing all these for that slut.” I heard Vesper yell to Stefan over the noise of the battle clash and howls as he prod

A chill raced through my spine and I stared wide eyed, unable to believe that Lukas had got her just in one second that I had looked away.“Fuck!” I rushed to her, scooping my body into my arms. Blood pooled around her and her eyes were shut now with her skin now turning pale. Tears clouded my vision as I held her body closer, my heart shattering to pieces.How could I have missed this? How could I have failed to protect her when I promised her that? How? “My apologies, Stefan. And like I said the other time, there are no hard feelings involved. This is for my own political interest.” Lukas’ voice coming from behind me made the hurt I was feeling to turn into rage. Hot, flaming rage. I lifted my gaze to meet him, glaring at him through blood red eyes. I was going to kill him. There was no way he would get out of this alive. As if betraying me wasn’t enough for him, he had gone ahead to touch

    Eve’s POVI opened my eyes slowly, squinting against the soft and muted light filtering in through the window. As my eyes scanned the familiar walls of my room, I felt a sense of deja vu and nostalgia. This wasn’t the first time I was waking up in my room like this. Or even the second. It had become almost like a routine. This room had become a marker of survival. I had lost count of how many times that I had woken up here, teetering somewhere between life and death, and with my body piecing itself back together. And each time, I half-expected that maybe I wouldn’t make it, that this would be the end. Yet, here I was again, breathing, alive.As if reading my thoughts, a familiar low, amused voice murmured beside me. “You’ve died and come back to life so many times now that I’m starting to think you’re immortal.”I blinked, my gaze sliding over to the side of the bed where Stefan sat with a faint smile on his dangerously handsome face. He was holding a tiny brush in his hand, and focu

    Jade’s POVApollo’s room was a stark contrast to the way it was the first time that he had brought me here. It was not filled with his shy laughter or the way he talked about his art, or the sounds of our moans as we made love for the first time. It was quiet. Too quiet, save for the soft rustle of pages as I turned them. I was seated at Apollo’s bedside while he was lying unconscious on the bed. His arm and the side of his stomach where he had been wounded was bandaged. Even though he was lying peacefully, I couldn’t forget the pain he had passed through last night when they had brought him and Eve back to the packhouse. Thankfully, we had Queen Morwenna around and she had saved both of them. Since that night, I had remained in his room and close to his bedside. The only times I excused myself from him for a moment were the times that I had gone to check in on Eve too.

I was engrossed in the details, ensuring that every plate was perfectly placed and every napkin was folded just so. Across the yard, Jameson was playing and practicing his newfound powers by sending tiny ripples through the grass and shifting little pebbles in the air. I glanced at his direction and a small smile crossed my lips. But that didn’t stop me from calling him and reprimanding him.“Jameson. Careful, okay? You’ll wear yourself out.”He stopped and sent me a mischievous grin that spread across his face. The older he was getting, the more he looked just like Stefan. The resemblance was uncanny. “I won’t, Mommy! I’m strong!”I laughed, shaking my head. “Yes, you’re very strong, but don’t go overboard. You don’t want to spend the afternoon recovering, do you?”He gave me a proud, stubborn look before tu

    Eve’s POVI woke up slowly, stretching out my arm across the bed, expecting to feel Stefan’s warmth beside me. Instead, my hand brushed empty sheets. My heart fell in disappointment and I sighed, blinking my eyes open to the early morning light filtering in through the window. The waves crashed softly outside, tempting me to go back to sleep. But Stefan’s absence pulled me out of bed. It was a week after our mating ceremony and we were on our honeymoon at Stefan’s private beach house. Apollo and Jade were here too as it was a double honeymoon.Rubbing the last bits of sleep from my eyes, I slid out from under the covers, my feet brushing the cool wood floors as I padded toward the door. My steps were lazy, still a little groggy from waking up, but I kept walking. As I opened the door and stepped outside the beach house, the faint smell of smoke and something savory and delicious reached me. And there he was, standing over a barbecue grill with Apollo and Jade beside him, the three

    Stefan’s POVI stood at the altar, my hands clasped in front of me, trying to steady the slow hum of nerves thrumming beneath my skin. Beside me, Apollo shifted, glancing over his shoulder at the door for what had to be the tenth time in as many minutes. The place was filled with soft chatter and expectant whispers, and anyone could feel the excitement and anticipation in the air. Apollo gave a low whistle, nudging me with his elbow. “I still can’t believe it, Stefan. Your aura point is literally a thousand out of a hundred. You bagged one of the realm’s most beautiful women.”I chuckled softly under my breath. “Well, you don’t have to sound so shocked. I’ve always had my way with women.”Apollo shrugged and a smirk danced on his lips. “Honestly, I thought you would end up with someone a lot more intimidated by you. Not Eve. She matches you in every way.”I smirked back at him, unable to hold back my satisfaction. “Trust me, Apollo, I know exactly what I’m in for. And besides, I

Around Jade and I, stylists fluttered around us, adjusting and smoothing out the lace on our sleeves and adding the final touches to our intricate updo. The entire space felt surreal. A room of mirrors, flowers, and stylists. We were getting ready for our big moments.It was the mating ceremony of Jade and I. Because Apollo and Stefan had proposed to the both of us on the same day, they had arranged for the mating ceremony to be held together and to be honest, that was the best thing that Jade and I could have ever asked for. Just me and my best friend, side by side in a place we never thought we would be.As the stylists and makeup artists worked on me, I glanced over at Jade, catching her in the mirror. Her gaze was distant and thoughtful as she stared at her reflection. Her gown was breathtaking. It was a cascade of ivory lace that spilled around her like a soft, sh
