Jacob's POV

When my personal adviser walked into the throne room, it was to find me in the lowest of spirits.

I paced restlessly in the throne room, my agitation at its very peak. The atmosphere was heavy with the turmoil in my mind. My personal adviser, stopped and watched me with concern, his eyes filled with anxiety and concern for my well-being. He'd seen me like this on more than one occasion, but this time, he knew my anger and frustration were particularly intense.

"Alpha Jacob, you must calm yourself," my personal adviser urged, his voice gentle and persuasive. "Losing your composure will not serve you well."

I stopped pacing and turned to face Hiram, my brows furrowed in frustration. "I cannot calm down, Hiram," I said through gritted teeth. "I just cannot. This is unacceptable!"

I heard a sigh come from behind me as my adviser spoke up. "What happened this time, Alpha?"

I swivelled to face him. "You saw the disrespect Chester showed me at the ball, did you not? It is absolut

    Jacob's Pov I leaned forward as the woman began to explain her proposition. My interest was piqued as she spoke."In all honesty, I have kept a dutiful eye on you, Alpha Jacob," Alina began, her voice measured. "Especially when I came to your ball. I watched you closely from the corners, unknown to anyone there."Her statement ignited suspicion within me. I watched her with my eyes narrowed, waiting for an explanation. "And why have you been monitoring me?" I inquired, unable to contain my curiosity. "Who sent you to do that?"Alina's confession was direct. "This was a solo move, Alpha Jacob. I was sent by nobody. I was merely at the party to find a suitor for myself and of course, to keep an eye on my sister, Nora."My brows furrowed as I tried to grasp the situation. "You were seeking a suitor? And what does that have to do with me?"She continued, unravelling her motives further. "That has nothing to do with you. This was something I was merely doing for myself."Alina stepped for

    Nora's POVI sprang to my feet. "What?!"The maids all backed up, fear evident in their eyes. "We're sorry, Luna..."My gaze moved from one maid to the other, seeking answers. "Why would Alpha Chester do that? Lily has been my personal maid for so long."The middle-aged maid, the one who had been speaking, looked down for a moment before answering. "Alpha Chester did not provide a specific reason for his decision, Luna. He merely requested that we take over your care."It felt as if the ground had shifted beneath my feet. I had grown accustomed to Lily's presence, to her support and her friendship. I had shared my deepest secrets with her, and she had been more than just a maid; she had become a friend.This sudden change left me feeling exposed and vulnerable. I had barely settled into my new role as Alpha Chester's Luna, and now the familiar presence of Lily was taken away.Confusion and concern welled up within me, but I tried to remain composed. "Very well," I replied to the maids

The golden rays streamed through the curtains of my window, creating a dance of light and shadow on the walls. It was a beautiful scene, one that should have filled me with joy and anticipation, but an unexplainable sense of foreboding clung to the edges of my consciousness.I finally opened my eyes to the radiant morning, hoping to shake off the uneasy feeling.

    Chester's POVMy slow wanderings around the hall made me run into Alpha Wong in one corner, in the midst of other alphas. Immediately he saw me, the smile on his face widened. He detached himself from the gathered alphas and came towards me."Chester, my friend," Alpha Wong began, a twinkle of mischief in his eyes. "I can see that your....ah, efforts at filling dear Luna Nora with babies is working out.A laugh was forced out of my lips. "When you say it like that...."Alpha Wong grinned. "You know I say nothing but the truth, Chester. I believe my congratulations are in order, Alpha."A genuine smile played on my lips as I nodded in acknowledgment. "Thank you, Wong. It is truly an exciting time for us. We're looking forward to the newest member of our pack."Alpha Wong chuckled, his voice carrying a familiar friendliness. "I can relate to the happiness, trust me dear friend."Suddenly his wife came to mind. "Ah, that reminds me. Where is Luna Jun? Did she miss this party the same wa

    Chester's POVI sat in the dimly lit study, my fingers tapping restlessly against the arm of the chair. The events of the previous night played over and over in my mind like a relentless and wicked nightmare. It was one sickening loop of bad choices and regret in my head, and I felt as if I couldn't escape from it all.Jonas sat across from me, and his expression was a blend of concern and assurance."Alpha Chester, you need to calm down," he urged. "Nora is a strong Luna. I am sure she will be fine in the end. She will pull through this."I scrubbed a hand across my face, frustration knotting my brow. "I can't calm down, Jonas. How can I be patient when Nora's life hangs in the balance? I can't just sit here and wait."The words spilled out, laced with anguish and fear. It was a feeling I couldn't shake off, a gnawing sense of helplessness that gnarled at my soul. My chest tightened at the thought of Nora lying vulnerable and injured."Still, you need to be calm." Jonas replied. "We

    Nora's POV"Did you or did you not, plan the fall from the staircase?" I heard Chester ask.The words slipped from his lips like a dangerous string, a bomb that would go off at any minute. I could feel his accusations settle on me like a shroud of darkness, killing every hope I had ever harboured about him, about us, about our future.How could he even accuse me of such? How could he forget so easily everything we had been through together? What had changed between our union?I staggered backwards, and my back hit the closed door of the study. "Chester, how could you?" I whispered.His jaw tightened, and his eyes went cold. "Answer me, Nora. This instant!""I cannot answer that question—""Then I am right, after all!""I cannot answer that question!" I screamed into his face. "I cannot because it is utterly ridiculous! How can you, with a straight face, throw such accusations at my face? How can you even insinuate that I would purposely kill my unborn child just to get away from you?"

    Nora's POVMy father's eyes fell on me, and I felt an insatiable anger fill me up from within.Suddenly, all I wanted was for this man to pay for every single thing he made me go through. I remembered the look of satisfaction I had seen on his face, as I had cried and groveled at his feet on that fateful day, when he'd thrown me out of his house.But the wheels had turned now. He was in my shoes now, and I would make sure he experienced the pain I had gone through as well.Or even worse.I understood that I was not his daughter, but what I did not understand was how I came to be in his house in the first place. How had I escaped the massacre that Jacob had done on my family, and how had I gotten to this vile man's household?However, all that was pushed to the back of my mind as I watched a fleeting look of fear pass across his face."Nora?" He called out, as though I was an apparition, and calling my name would dismiss me. "Surprised to see me, aren't you, Elder Lyall?" Goddess, how

    Chester's POVAll of a sudden, Nora was standing before me, and it felt as though all my troubles were dissipating into the air.My hands darted forward, as though I was trying to catch air, and my mouth hung open. I could not believe my eyes. Was I dreaming? Was the alcohol finally kicking in and I was imagining things?"Nora...." I whispered again. She smiled as I called her name. Oh, that smile. How I had missed it so much!I felt my wolf jump in excitement before me. In the space of a few seconds, my eyes cleared, and I saw Nora standing before me, live and in person."I'm here, Chester." She whispered. I watched as a tear fell from her eyes, and something within me shattered into a million pieces. I stumbled forward, kicking my goblet aside. Finally, reaching before her, I stopped again."What are you doing...." I stammered. "Why are you here? Where have you been?"A million questions and more chased each other in my head. Nora's smile fell for a moment. "It is a long story, Ch

    Nora's POVI walked the rest of the way to the packs border, trying to blend into the shadows that surrounded me. The moon was high in the sky by now, and I guessed that it was midnight already.On and on I walked, until finally, I got to the river that divided Moon Gold Pack from Wolf Claw Pack. I felt a tugging in my heart, and Chester immediately came to mind.Even though we were estranged from each other, I still missed him terribly. How I craved for the little moments that we'd shared. It was appalling how, in the space of a few months, this man whom I had hated with every passionate bone in me, had slowly grown to become an integral part of my life.I still hadn't forgiven him for pushing me out of his pack all those weeks. I still hadn't forgiven him for thinking the worst of me, but deep down, I could not deny that I missed my fated mate.I stopped in front of the river, contemplating how to cross to the other side. The bridge that would have helped me was broken, and the only

    Nora's POVThe moment I confirmed that he was dead, I slowly rose to my feet. I kept my eyes on him all through, half expecting him to open his eyes and stare right through me.I waited for a few seconds, but it felt like several eternities. I had to make it look as though he wasn't truly dead.Crouching beside him, I placed both hands underneath his armpits and lifted him up. He was extremely heavy, the brute of a man!Wuth several grunts and heaving, I placed him on the bed. Finally, I stared at hid unmoving body and smiled to myself. If only he knew that I would be his undoing, he would not have taken a liking to me, would he?I rearranged his clothes, placing a folded piece of cloth against his neck to hide the gaping hole in there. I arranged his hands around him to give off the impression that he was asleep, then I took several steps backwards.Perfect, I thought. Save for the unusual paleness of his skin, he truly looked like he was fast asleep.Suddenly, I heard several steps

    Nora's POVMy eyes caught a platter of cut apples, lying on a table by my side. Right beside the platter was a small, sheathed dagger.I narrowed my eyes as curiosity got the better of me. Slowly, I laid down the picture frame in my hands, then reached out to pick up the dagger. I pulled the dagger out of its scabbard and turned it in my hands, momentarily awed as it caught the sunlight at almost impossible angles. I immediately knew it was made of dragonblade, one of the strongest steels known to werewolves.The hilt was studded with several tiny rubies, but was built of pure, solid gold. On the hilt was emblazoned the initials Y.L; this dagger once belonged to my mother. It gave me a tiny comfort to know that I was holding something that once belonged to one of my parents."Hmm..." I murmured, sizing the dagger up against my hand. It was very small: not nearly as big as my entire hand, but sharp enough to do damage.I smiled to myself, a sinister fire burning within me. Sinking thi

    Nora's POV"Who is there?!" One of the guards called out.Sarah and I froze, then exchanged terrified glances. Oh, Goddess! What would happen if we were discovered? I knew that we would immediately be taken to Alpha Jacob, and there was no questioning what he would do to us to punish us."Oh, we're done for!" Sarah wailed, quite loudly."Oh, keep your voice low!" I snapped. "Let's leave before they notice people are here." I pulled her hand as we scurried towards the door.But as Sarah and I hurried toward the exit, we found ourselves face-to-face with the guards already inside the dimly lit Black Door Room. In a quick decision, we stood perfectly still, hoping the shadows would conceal our presence.Pressing ourselves against the darkened corner, I held my breath, praying that the guards wouldn't notice us. Their looming silhouettes moved through the room, their voices echoing in the hushed space."Why's this door open?" one guard's inquiry reverberated in the chamber's silence. We h

    Nora's POV.As I dressed up, I kept my mind resolute on the fact that I would find that door, whether Sarah helped me out or not. Julius' words kept ringing in my ears, giving me the courage I desperately needed.Sarah fetched a simple gray dress from a chest on the far end of the room—it was obvious that Alpha Jacob had stocked this room full of dresses for me, in case I happened to change my mind about marrying him."Here, Luna Nora," she murmured as she handed me the dress. Her eyes were averted, head downcast. I knew, deep down that Sarah wanted to help, but she was scared of the consequences that would follow if someone found out.I couldn't blame her. If I was in her shoes, I would be scared too."Thank you, Sarah." I murmured, accepting the gray dress. I slipped it on and fastened the buttons myself. Then I turned back to her. "Do you have a black cloak anywhere around this room?""Um...yes." Sarah replied. "Alpha Jacob's former wife used to keep one for special occasions, whe

Alpha Jacob asked, his voice laced with a hint of disbelief. "You've changed your mind?"No! My heart screamed. But I met his gaze firmly. "Yes," I replied, my voice resolute.A smile, bright and triumphant, crept onto Alpha Jacob's face, illuminating his features. He motioned to his guards. "Let her out!" He ordered, then cackled like a witch. "She is to be my wife! Finally, my dear Nora is to be my wife and Luna!"As the heavy metal door creaked open and the guards escorted me out, a whole storm of conflicting emotions engulfed me. My heart still ached for Julius, who had selflessly guided and supported me. I felt the weight of my failure to rescue him in his darkest hour.He had helped me throughout my stay in the dungeons. And now, when he needed my help the most, I was utterly powerless to help him.Walking a

"Ah, yes, Nora. You did a good job."I nodded. I felt braver than I had been days ago, when thosw guards had dragged me all the way down here. It was as though in the space of a few days, my life had changed in drastic ways.And indeed, it had.I had been chased out of my former pack in shame. I had been locked in a room for an entire week, existing on nothing but porridge. I had made a friend in the form of a lone man in a dingy dungeon, discovered secrets and uncovered several lies and truths about my life. And now, I was facing the next hurdle in my journey head on.I was going to face the one man who had made my life a total, living hell."Do you think the guards would listen to me and tell Alpha Jacob about my offer?" I asked.Julius shrugged. "That is left for us to see. Though, I am sure that
