Damien’s Pov If I could get more of her things done, she'd give me more attention also. But she seemed too full of herself to listen to me and if I could just get her on my side too, everything would go well and I wouldn't have to make Freya my Luna. Each minute that passes, I keep reminding myself that I would have to work it out or I lose. I decided to throw out orders to the servants in the pack. The preparations for Lady Tatia’s requests needed to be perfect, even if I didn’t fully understand her reasons. “Make sure everything is prepared exactly as she needs it,” I said firmly to the head servant. “If Lady Tatia asks for anything else, inform me immediately. I don’t want her lacking anything.” The servants nodded in unison and scurried off, leaving me with a moment of quiet. It didn’t last long. “Where’s Freya?” I asked one of the guards that was staying nearby. “She should be in her room, Alpha,” he replied cautiously, sensing my irritation. “Fetch her,” I commanded,
Freya’s PovI sat in the cold stone chamber Damien had thrown me into, my mind racing. His behavior confused me, infuriated me even. Why did he care so much about Lady Tatia? The way he ordered the pack to cater to her every whim, the way he defended her, it made no sense. I wanted to make sure I got every attention, every love, every care and everything that she took from me, I wanted to make sure I got it back. Even Lady Bella, who never says nice things to me, says it up in front of everyone. But that didn't matter to me anymore, I just wanted Kaiden for myself and her powers. What if she was using something bad to cure the Alpha. Tatia was always getting in the way anytime I tried to expose her and Damien thinks he could just lock me up. I would show them all I deserve better and that would be done when I take Kaiden for myself.Kaiden was the Alpha I deserved. Strong, confident, and charismatic in ways Damien could never be. If I couldn’t be Luna of the Blood Moon pack, I wou
Amelia’s PovKaiden had just walked away, his presence was hovering in the air like a storm about to break. I stood frozen for a moment before taking a deep breath and leaving to confront Damien. I knew where to find him, sitting in his quarters, probably brooding over some plot or indulging in his own self-importance. Few minutes before I found Freya falling into the trap I set for her, he was staring at me like I was a prize about to be won. And getting him angry was the next thing I intended to do.The door to his chamber was open, and as I stepped in, my boots clicking softly against the stone floor, Damien looked up. His expression shifted from curiosity to slight alarm when he saw the anger on my face. “Tatia?” he began cautiously, but I cut him off. “Tell Freya,” I said sharply, my voice low and trembling with fury, “to stay away from my lover.” Damien blinked, clearly caught off guard by my directness. “Freya?” he asked, frowning. “She’s locked up. I told you before,
Amelia’s PovWaking up very early the next morning, my thoughts were all over the place. I really need to make Kaiden very happy. The look he had on his face last night had me thinking so much about how hurt he had been, but to show him that he mattered to me, I needed to do something. Something really special.I had hurt him, and it was clear I took him for granted. If I was going to pull through the chaos surrounding us, I needed him by my side, not questioning his place in my heart. For once, I would make Kaiden happy, truly happy, even if it was just for a moment. I slipped into the kitchen, much to the surprise of the staff. The maids stared in confusion as I gathered the items I needed. “Lady Tatia,” one of them summoned the courage to ask cautiously, “Should we assist you?” “No,” I said firmly, my tone leaving no room for argument. “I’ll handle this myself.” They stepped back, though their curious eyes followed my every move as I prepared breakfast. It was nothing
Amelia’s PovKaiden’s warm hand slipped into mine, and I looked up at him, smiling softly. “I’ll do just that, my Lord,” I said, my voice teasing yet it was genuine. He smirked in response, pulling me close as we made our way outside. The morning air was fresh, carrying a hint of the woods beyond the packhouse. I felt so powerful with him by my side. Only the Moon Goddess herself knew what he had in mind to do to me once my plans came to fruition. Freya and Damien would tear each other apart, Lady Bella’s schemes would crumble, and then, I would take from them the very thing they had stolen from me, my pack. Kaiden squeezed my hand lightly, pulling me from my thoughts. He seemed deep in his own, likely already setting his part of the plan into motion. When I reached Damien’s chambers, I paused briefly at the door, inhaling deeply before stepping inside. Damien was lounging by the window, his brooding gaze lost in the horizon. “Lady Tatia,” he greeted, his voice was so smooth
Damien’s PovThe sound of her voice, shrill and furious, grated on my ears like nails on glass. Freya was ranting again, her words slamming into me with relentless force. “How could you?” she screamed, her face red with anger and streaked with tears. “With a maid, Damien? A maid? Have you fallen so low that you would stoop to this? What is wrong with you?” Her hand flew across my face again, the sting of her slap igniting the simmering rage inside me. “Freya!” I shouted, grabbing her wrist before she could hit me again. “What were you doing with Alpha Kaiden then? You think I don’t see you chasing after him like a dog? You think I don’t know you’re trying to replace me?” Her eyes widened, her lip trembling, and for a brief moment, I saw the hurt beneath her fury. But then it was gone, replaced by a fresh wave of anger. “Let me go!” she yelled, yanking her hand free. “You’re pathetic, Damien! You can’t even hold your self down in this pack anymore, and now you’re dragging us
Amelia’s PovSitting across from Kaiden during our private dinner felt like a small victory. I saw the cracks forming in Damien’s usually composed appearance earlier that day, and I knew I had struck a nerve. That was my plan all along, to unsettle him, to rattle his pride, and to make him seem like an unstable leader in front of his pack. If Damien couldn’t maintain his composure, the pack would see him for what he truly was, weak and fragile. And in this pack, weakness meant failure. I was speaking softly to Kaiden about the next phase of my plan when a loud knock interrupted us. Kaiden’s brow furrowed, and I rose to open the door, only to find Freya standing there, looking frantic and disheveled. “I need something,” Freya said breathlessly as she stepped inside. I arched an eyebrow. “What could you possibly need from me?” “Something to help Damien,” she said quickly, wringing her hands. “He’s restless. He’s losing himself. He hasn’t been the same since...” She trailed o
Amelia’s POV “Kaiden,” I said, my voice low as we stepped outside. “What’s happening over there?” In the distance, we saw Damien running, his usually composed demeanor completely shattered. It seemed they weren't done with their argument. Freya trailed behind him, shouting angrily, her voice carrying across the courtyard. “Damien, stop!” she screamed. “You can’t keep running away from this! You started it and you must end it” He spun around abruptly, his face twisted with fury. “You’re unbearable, Freya! Just leave me alone!” The argument escalated quickly, their voices clashing like a storm. Before anyone could intervene, Damien slapped her across the face. The sound echoed in the courtyard, and Freya, not one to back down, retaliated with her own slap. I watched from the sidelines, my heart cold but amused. These two fools were tearing themselves apart, just as I’d hoped. At the edge of the scene, Lady Bella stood in the shadows, her arms crossed and an amused smile p
Amelia’s POV“I have to confront her” I said, “I need to, I can't just let her have her way with this. She needs to know that she's not fooling anyone anymore, this has to stop! People need to come out of her years of deceits” I added, “There's another thing too, the reason she was after your mum was because your mum found out about her secret” Kaiden further spilled.“She and her lover were so openly minded to talksabout all that was happening without a care in the world, just so carefree” he added, “I was able to leave without getting caught was because my scent can't be detected my them” he continued, “My mum knew about her secret? Was that why my aunty said those words before she died? She had told me to be careful and the people who had killed my mom were around me.“She killed my mum because of that, because she knew about her secret? isn't that vile?” I said in an outburst, I was skeptical about all of these. My dad had told me she died from a strange illness but now all finger
Amelia’s POV “Have you had anything to eat?” Kadian asked, looking concerned. Earlier, I had left in a hurry to attend to Freya and her cohorts of friends. She's currently in a state of insanity and the best I could do at the moment was to dismiss her.“Don't lie to me Amelia, you don't even have to answer. I know you haven't had anything to eat, "he added, gesturing to a table filled with all kinds of food. “Kaiden..this is too much, we can't even have all this to ourselves” I exclaimed, “You don't have to worry about that, just come sit and eat” he responded, pulling a chair for me to sit. Such a gentlemanly behavior!“I'm sorry about earlier, I had an outburst and I couldn't control my choice of words” he said, his face all gloomy. I felt bad, it wasn't his fault all of this was happening. I was more than grateful for him even being on my side, for him to save a girl he never knew and for him developing feelings for me after all what had happened to me. Kaiden was the sole reason
AMELIA'S Pov“I thought I could help her..” I sighed, “Don't blame yourself Amelia, it's not your fault. You can't help someone who's not ready” Kaiden encouraged.My mental health has deteriorated ever since I got In love with Freya, she has always been against me yet she wants my help. A part of me wants to help her, and the other seeks revenge. Freya had planned to kill me, and the thought of her even asking me for help after attempting to murder me still puzzles me. She has no other choice than to accept whatever she sees from me, definitely, I wasn't going to take it lightly with her. “Just make sure you're careful around them, Amelia,” Kaiden warned, “I still don't feel comfortable enough with you being around them after they tried to kill you,” he added.I understood his concerns, I had never forgotten about it but I knew I couldn't keep holding grudges against them. I was yet to forgive her for what she did, and certainly I won't be able to forget it.“I understand Kaiden, I
Amelia’s PovI didn't believe Matilda would be so miserable to save Freya. She wasn't even worth everything or anything. And yet, she was pleading like there was something she still needed her for. It all seemed weird with my father staring at me in the eye while I faked who I was. The ease in his eyes and the calmness I'm his voice when I told him I could help Freya… And all I could think of was Matilda's unending please that rang in my ears. "I've been pleading with you, Lady Tatia. Kindly do something" Matilda said, her voice cracking. "Freya is suffering. We don't know what to do, but we know you have the power to help her. Please, you have to save her."My father stood beside her, his face was pale, and his expression was a mix of guilt and helplessness. "I know you could help, and I hope you can help us with that as fast as possible so I can have my daughter back alive again.” And my heart skipped a beat after hearing that, didn't he feel the connection between us? Doesn't h
Amelia’s PovI stood in the doorway, my breath choking me up from my chest as I looked around the familiar house. It felt like nothing had changed, yet everything was so different and distant.The old house, the one I had once called home, was now just a shadow of its former self. The walls, the floors, the rooms, all seemed to carry memories of a time long gone, a time I could never go back to. My heart pounded in my chest as I stepped inside, my father’s voice calling to me from the other room, a sound that felt like a distant echo. I hadn't expected to feel so overwhelmed, so emotional. But seeing him after all these years, seeing him standing there, waiting for me, was too much. I had spent so much of my life trying to forget this place, trying to escape its hold on me. And yet, here I was, back again, facing the very memories I had spent so long running from."Amelia," my father’s voice cracked, his tone full of warmth and concern. I turned toward him, while trying everything
Chapter 76 Amelia's PovI had never expected to see Matilda again, but there she was, standing at the door of the pack house, her face drawn with desperation. I could see the tension in her shoulders, the weight of guilt and fear pressing down on her. I couldn’t help but feel a slight amusement stir inside me as I watched her fidget, clearly nervous and unsure of how to approach me."Lady Tatia," Matilda began, her voice shaky, "I beg of you. Please. You have to help me. My daughter... She's in danger. I don’t know what else to do. You’re the only one who can save her."Her words were desperate, pleading, but I could see the hidden calculation behind them. Matilda had always been a woman driven by her own desires, her own plans, and now, she was hoping I would fall for her act. But I wasn’t the same naive girl I once was. I had learned far too much to be swayed by her manipulations.I crossed my arms, leaning against the doorframe as I eyed her. "Save your daughter? Why would I help
Amelia’s PovThe air in the forest was heavy with the scent of pine and earth as Kaiden and I moved silently between the trees. We had spent the last few days working together on various tasks, trying to gather information and prepare for whatever came next. There was so much uncertainty, but for the first time in a long while, I felt like I was making progress. Kaiden had been a steady presence at my side, helping me with everything from gathering herbs to strategizing how we could expose the truth behind Damien's curse.We spent hours talking about our plans, brainstorming ideas, and trying to make sense of the tangled web of lies that had been woven around us. But today was different. Today, we were out in the forest, collecting herbs that I needed for a potion I was working on. It was something I had been putting off for a while, but now felt like the right time to make it."I never thought I'd be out here in the woods with you, gathering weeds," Kaiden said, his voice light, bu
Amelia's PovThe tension in the air was thick as I walked past Damien without even glancing at him. I had made a decision to ignore him, to shut down whatever feelings I had left. It wasn’t easy, not with everything that had happened between us, but I knew I had to do it. I couldn’t afford to let my emotions get the better of me again. Not now. Not when there was so much at stake.I could feel his eyes on me as I walked away, but I refused to turn around. I had done enough of that, chasing after him, letting him pull me back into his world. I couldn’t keep doing it. I was done.Kaiden, of course, noticed the tension immediately. He had been by my side through all of it, and he knew me better than anyone. He was the one person who could see through the walls I had built, and right now, he could see that something was off. He approached me cautiously, his eyes scanning my face, trying to read me.“You’re giving him the silent treatment, aren’t you?” Kaiden said, his voice soft but lace
Damien's PovI stood in front of Lady Tatia, feeling like a fool. My pride had always been my shield, but today, I had to admit that I was wrong. The words came out slowly, almost painfully. “I... I apologize for the way I treated you. For insulting you. I wasn’t thinking clearly, and I shouldn’t have acted that way.”Lady Tatia didn’t respond immediately. She simply looked at me, her eyes calculating, as if weighing my sincerity. After a long pause, she spoke, her voice calm but firm. “You don’t need to apologize, Damien. You’ve made your choices. But just because you say sorry doesn’t mean everything is forgiven. You can’t escape your destiny.”Her words stung. I had hoped that by apologizing, things would smooth over, that maybe she would see that I was trying to make amends. But she was right, nothing was ever that simple. I couldn’t just erase my mistakes with a few words, especially not with someone like Lady Tatia. She saw through me, knew who I was, and what I had become. “
