ADALYN

Asher was glaring at me, and the coldness of his expression made my heart ache. Even though he was still clearly exhausted, his features were just as handsome as ever, and all I wanted to do was lean over the bed and press my lips against his. I knew his lips would feel soft and sweet, and if he would just give me the chance, our embrace could be wonderful.

But we both knew he wouldn’t give me that chance, not when he had such an irritated look in his beautiful gray eyes.

How could he call the name of that wretched, vile healer when it was me who had taken care of him for a whole day? That backwoods commoner wasn’t here at his bedside, I was, and knowing that Asher still wasn’t grateful made me frown.

Father had told me that the drug I’d administered would be effective for two days, so I wasn’t totally surprised when I realized Asher couldn’t move. Though he was conscious and awake, his limbs were still numbed, making his efforts useless.

“What have you done, Adalyn?” he hissed

    ASHER As I rushed out of the room, my head ached and my equilibrium was thrown off. I was still immensely dizzy from whatever Adalyn had given me, despite the antidote she had administered. The hall was empty, and I was certain that she had made some kind of an excuse to keep any onlookers or curious military officials from checking in on me. I released a heavy breath in annoyance. I felt so stupid to think the Betas were under control, but this was far beyond my expectations. What had made Oliver do this? Was he planning on a war? As far as I knew, even though Oliver had support from the councilors, he had no absolute power as a usurper. Unless, of course, he had an accomplice. I shook my head in frustration. I couldn’t believe it had come to this. I knew the Beta was untrustworthy, but I hadn’t expected something like this to happen, not now. Without another moment of hesitation, I fought my dizziness and went straight to the lieutenant’s office. I knocked on the door, and

    ASHERIt wasn’t raining hard at first, but as I left the borders and entered the forest, I could understand what the lieutenant had been getting at. It was pouring quite heavily. Mud covered the narrow path, making it very slippery and extremely difficult for cars to drive through.Though my black-furred wolf form was agile and gave me the ability to cut corners and run more freely in the forest, I felt it hard to continuously move at a fast speed. Especially when I was still feeling the effects of Adalyn’s drug.After a while, my fur was drenched and I had to stop every so often to shake off the water. My lungs began to ache after so much physical effort and my vision was narrow because of the growing mist in the forest.I stopped under a tall tree with a thick and broad trunk to catch my breath and take a short rest. The scent of pine filled my nose and brought me a moment of pleasure though the rest of my physical form was tired.I sat down and looked around at my surroundings. I n

    CASSANDRAWhen I woke up, I was in a car.I waited for my vision to focus, and when it did, I realized I was lying in the back seat. In the front, I heard the driver of the vehicle talking with Kaleb, who was sitting in the passenger’s seat.“The rain is too heavy, Your Majesty,” the driver said in a heavily accented voice. “It would be too risky to drive forward. The conditions are simply too poor. I recommend that we find somewhere to take a pause and wait out the weather.”The king of Yurene didn’t seem to be convinced by what the driver said. He remained silent and stared ahead.Silence lingered in the air for a moment, and then the driver cleared his throat and started the vehicle again.It began to move forward, but quickly, the tire seemed to hit a pretty severe pothole and the car lurched. As it bumped, my head bonked against the door, and before I could stop myself, I released a heavy groan.Kaleb whipped around at the sudden sound, and when our eyes met, a chill traveled thr

    CASSANDRAWe sat there in silence, and as I held Finnick tightly in my lap, Erika and I gazed at each other sadly. It seemed as if no one knew what to say. My mind was in a million different places and I wasn’t sure what thought to act on.I was so grateful to have Finnick and Erika with me, but I was sad that we were all in this position. Guilt flooded through me as I ran my fingers through Finnick’s soft dark hair and I fought the urge to cry.Erika released a soft sigh and wilted a little.“Is this it?” she wondered quietly. “We are leaving our homeland for an unknown country?”I nodded. “I’m afraid so. I’m so sorry that I got you involved in my mess again, Erika. This is all my fault.”But the maid shook her head and reached out to touch my arm. “Don’t be silly, honey. That’s not what I meant. I’m more worried about you. As far as I’m concerned, I’m bored with Anemond anyway. If we have to leave, let’s make the best of it.”I knew she was just trying to cheer me up, and I apprecia

    ASHERI continued running in the forest. My lungs cried out in pain with every stride, but I didn’t want to stop, not now. Silas raced alongside me, but I barely acknowledged his presence.I wished this was a dream. I wished I could wake up and say that none of this was real, that I wasn’t in this position, and that everything was alright. But this wasn’t a dream. It was a living nightmare.Cassandra was leaving.I couldn’t allow that to happen.When Silas told me what was happening, I couldn’t believe him. I had frowned and stared at the Beta in complete and total shock as his words set in. His golden eyes had stared into mine with intensity and solemnity as he shared the truth, and though I knew he was being honest, part of me wished he was just being duplicitous.But he wasn’t. Cassandra had been taken by the king of Yurene hours ago. He’d stolen her away while I’d been sedated by Adalyn at the military base.Despite the heavy rain that likely delayed their departure, she had proba

    CASSANDRAAs the car drove past the borders of Wegalla and into those of Yurene, it was very late into the night. Finnick was fast asleep on my lap, and I ran my hands through his soft, dark brown hair. It was a ritual of ours, one that put the child at ease almost immediately. He’d been so nervous as the ride had continued, so I’d pulled him close and tried to get him to relax.Beside me, Erika had her elbow propped up against the window, and her eyes were closed. I didn’t know if she was asleep or simply resting, as we hadn’t spoken since we’d first gotten into the car, but I couldn’t blame her if she weren’t asleep. How could we dream so easily when we were leaving the place of our birth, not knowing if we would ever return?The car kept driving in the deep, dense forest before we reached the other side of the trees and came up on a town. The light was sparse and dim, but I could make out a sign that read “Gliolis” in the distance.What a strange name, I thought as the car drove do

    CASSANDRA I blinked in confusion and tried to gather myself, but my heart raced, and my head felt as if it were drowning in a sea of thoughts. Beams of sunlight filtered in through the window, which told me it was already morning. That dream had felt so short, but hours had passed by like minutes. “I’m sorry to wake you,” Erika apologized when I met her eyes again. “I found you shaking and grew worried. Your teeth were clenched, and you were whimpering. Did you have a nightmare, honey?” I shook my head, but only a little. It wasn’t exactly a nightmare, though it had been unpleasant. I wondered if “Emmett” would have told me something useful if my dream hadn’t been interrupted. I didn’t believe the dream would have been prophetic, but I wondered if my late husband had indeed left me something like he’d said. He must have because otherwise, why was Kaleb so determined to bring me to the North? But what could it be? Emmett hadn't left me anything besides thick medical tomes and some

    CASSANDRAPoison.My heart nearly skipped a beat upon hearing it, and panic rose up from my chest. I felt my lower lip tremble, but before I could get too upset, I studied the woman’s expression. Though this was a dire situation, she didn’t seem too alarmed. In fact, she seemed rather confident.If she said she could handle it, I needed to at least halfway trust her.“Okay,” I said reluctantly, and then we headed back up to my room. As we ascended the stairs, I introduced myself. “My name is Cassandra Keller.”I wasn’t sure how much to tell about myself in case Kaleb didn’t want me to. I wasn’t sure if anyone knew about me here, but I didn’t want to put myself in hot water just in case.“My name is Raven,” the woman said, but she didn’t reveal her occupation. “And just for future reference, there aren’t many servants in the side building, so if you need to find one, you’ll need to go into the main building.”“Is that permitted?” I wondered, my tone expressing my uncertainty.“Of cours

    CASSANDRAIt was a sunny day, the first one in a long time.After the long winter and cold spring, summer eventually came, and it was hotter than it had been in forever.Sunlight streamed in through the clinic window, and I was a little distracted as I stared out at the window at the kids in the yard.Finnick, Lila, Marley’s boys Eric and Adrian, and Dominic were all chasing each other, playing a game of tag with one another. Marco was out there with them too, but he was sitting on a bench alone, meters away from the rest of the kids. He looked lonely and didn’t move as the others played around him.It had been a month since the chaos in Merliscire and Adalyn’s death. I supposed it was still hard for Marco to accept the fact that his mother was gone. She had killed herself right in front of him after holding him hostage and threatening to hurt him. The poor little boy had endured so much trauma in such a short amount of time.He wasn’t a bad kid. He had a mean disposition at times, bu

    ASHERIt had been a while since Cassandra entered the building, and with every passing minute, my nervousness and anxiety grew stronger. While I knew she was capable of handling herself, I didn’t like the idea of her being in the House of Moses without me.I began to feel restless. It was a mistake to let her leave with Adalyn alone.I pondered my options for a minute and then decided I couldn’t wait out on the grounds any longer, not when my mate could be in danger. I started to walk toward the building, but before I could get too far, the soldiers guarding us stopped me.At first, they were polite but quickly, they became rude. They shouted and told me to back up. I wasn’t allowed in, not until Lady Adalyn said so.I considered pushing past them but didn’t want to escalate the situation, so I nodded and retreated ever so slightly. All around me, the councilors grew restless. They too, wanted to leave, only they desired to go back to Merliscire. However, when a group of them tried to

    BECKYAfter our conversation with Oliver Moses, Dickson and I had been seized by the Moses guards and taken into a room that appeared to be used for interrogation. The door was crafted from iron and there were no windows, so the room was dim and quiet. There were only a pair of chairs, each a little rickety and old-looking. It was a pathetic, desolate sort of place, which was surely on purpose.Time didn’t make much sense in there and I soon couldn’t figure out how long we’d been locked in. My body ached and my mind was spinning out with a million thoughts as I absorbed all of the information I’d heard in the past couple of days.I had thought Oliver Moses would quickly find out the truth or ask me to confront Adalyn again, but Dickson thought the opposite when I presented the idea to him.“Look at this place, Becky,” he said, his voice gloomy and negative. “No one is going to visit us any time soon.”Sadly, he appeared to be correct, and his point was only proven as time went on. Tho

    ADALYN Ada. How long had it been since I’d heard that name? My parents had never referred to me as Ada. They had never given me a single nickname or pet name. Mother had always said it was improper to call a child by anything other than their name and Father had never given me enough affection to bother. There were only two people in this world who had ever called me Ada. Asher. And Cora. I tensed as I tried to understand how Cassandra knew this. Had Asher told her about our close friendships when we were young? No, there was no way. Suddenly, I was hit with a realization, one I couldn’t ignore. I stared at Cassandra and studied her carefully. I searched her features, scrutinizing her nose, her mouth, the shape of her eyes. None were familiar, but as I stared at her deep emerald green irises and recognized the hue of them, it all began to make sense. I’d never understood how Asher could fall in love with a common healer. Cassandra wasn’t ugly by any means but to care so deepl

    CASSANDRAAdalyn’s golden eyes narrowed and then locked on mine.“Why would that wicked woman come with us?” she demanded as she continued to shoot daggers in my direction.“Those are my terms,” Asher insisted. “You want an audience with me? Those are my requirements.”It was a bold assertation on his behalf. As long as Adalyn had Prince Marco in her grasp, she had the upper hand, but she was far too weak to realize her power. Asher was still the Alpha King, after all, so I supposed that subconsciously, she felt compelled to obey.Silence hung heavily in the air and then finally she sighed.“Fine,” she huffed and then she flashed me a sneer. “Let her come. Perhaps we’ll have some fun with your little plaything once we’re there.”“You won’t harm her,” Asher growled.“We’ll see,” Adalyn said with a shrug. “Come. It’s time we left this musty room.”Her big eyes scanned the room and then she addressed the councilors. “The rest of you shall come as well. Might as well make an event of it.”

    CASSANDRAAdalyn’s face twisted again at Karsh’s cold and daring question, only this time, she didn’t recover and lost any sense of calm within her.“How dare you demean the future king’s mother?” she roared, her golden eyes flashing with anger as she bared her teeth.Despite her outrage and fierce expression, the councilor remained as cool as ever and didn’t even flinch. It was an impressive sight to behold and it made me respect Karsh even more. Adalyn had always been a brat but I had the sense that her ferocity wasn’t something to take lightly, at least not today.“I’m just stating the truth, Lady Adalyn,” Karsh said with a slightly raised chin, his eyes locked on hers. “The king is alive, I can assure you-”Before he could finish his statement, Adalyn motioned with her hand and gave a signal to the soldiers behind her.“Seize that traitor!” she ordered, and her men launched into action at once.My heart raced in my chest as I saw the soldiers approach Karsh, but before they could

    CASSANDRAThankfully, Adalyn’s proposal wasn’t as convincing to the councilors as she’d expected. It was clear from the glint in her golden eyes and the proud expression on her beautiful face that she assumed all would accept the idea of Marco’s ascension without complaint, but that couldn’t have been further from the truth. The room dissolved into whispers and gasps at once.One of the councilors I didn’t know the name of cleared his throat and all fell quiet.“Pardon me for my bluntness, Lady Adalyn, but it’s absurd to announce a new Alpha King when there is no evidence showing that the king is dead,” he pointed out, his thick dark eyebrows furrowed at her. “We have nothing of the sort before us-”“The forensic report will explain everything-” Adalyn began to say but the councilor waved her off with his hand.“A report means nothing,” he stated boldly, and then he glanced around the room to garner attention from the other councilors. “If the Alpha King is dead, we need to see his co

  • Alpha King's Lost Luna   Chapter 307 Council Meeting

    CASSANDRAOne thing was absolutely certain amongst Asher, the councilors he trusted, and I.Whatever Oliver Moses wanted to do at the council meeting, we needed to stop him. We were in complete agreement but knew we needed others to agree to our cause. We needed the support of other Packs in order to bring him down, and knew we wouldn’t get far without it.“Oliver Moses has quite a number of soldiers stationed in Anemond, especially around Merlisicre,” Karsh revealed solemnly. “If we want to confront the Moseses, we will need a troop of good soldiers of our own.”Though I didn’t want to admit it, the councilor was correct in his assessment. Despite having support from Alpha Gareth, Wild Crawler on its own couldn’t provide enough soldiers. If we wanted to gather real numbers to stand against the Moses soldiers, we needed to contact other Packs and ask for their support.“Your Majesty, it would be best for you to remain in the darkness before the meeting,” Jacoby advised after a moment

    ADALYNThis girl was stupid and annoying, to say the least.Yet, despite these facts, I regretted that I had underestimated her. I should have dealt with the tiny redhead girl right after Cassandra Keller had disappeared. Now, she had become a big problem, one I wasn’t sure how to handle.“I was hiding in the room next to yours when you spoke,” Becky chimed in.Father’s face changed when she mentioned the meeting. His complexion paled and his hazel eyes widened, but when he ran his hands through his graying hair, it was clear that he seemed convinced by her words.I had to hand it to her.Placing herself at the scene of the crime was a bold move, one I wasn’t sure how to work around. This was damning to be certain but I had to remain collected if I wanted to make it out of this and continue my plans without interruption.Silas’ little kitten was a true thorn in my side.Father studied the girl’s expression like a fox studying its prey. “I hope you acknowledge that you will be punished
