Julian’s Point of ViewAfter racing around in the woods, I shifted back and took my bath. After attending to the pack duties, I went to the study to finally have a breather from my stressful routine when Sophia barged into the room with a solemn look on her face. I sighed as I rubbed my temples. What was it again? I closed the files on the table with a thud, looking up to find Sophia standing by the door, her arms crossed, bottom lip jutted out in a pout that screamed pay attention to me. I didn’t even attempt to hide my disinterest. “What is it now, Sophia?” I muttered. Instead of answering, she whined—a long, dramatic sound that made me wince—and marched toward me with the confidence of someone who wouldn’t take no for an answer. Without hesitation, she sat herself right on my lap, making herself comfortable as if the throne belonged to her. “Julian,” she cooed softly, dragging out my name in a sing-song tone. I tensed but kept my expression neutral. “Get off, Sophia.” Sh
Julian's Point of ViewThe Alpha of the Moonwalker pack has been waging war on the Luperci Pack, but I can’t risk my head for a war I know nothing about. Just then, Jace handed a file over to me.“Their Alpha asked me to give this to you. It’s an alliance letter. It’s of no need since we’re rejecting their offer,” Jace said firmly, placing a thick folder on my desk. “I just had to give it to you because you’re the Alpha, and the final decision lies with you. But I trust you’ll make a wise one.”His voice carried a note of caution, but I barely glanced at him as I flipped open the file lazily, fingers drumming against the polished surface of the table. I wasn’t interested in more empty promises or frivolous offers of alliances. My focus was sharper than ever—power. That’s all that mattered. My pack. My goals.I skimmed through the pages half-heartedly, a bored expression plastered across my face. Proposals, terms, agreements—all predictable, unappealing, and not worth my time. Just as
Julian’s Point of ViewThe first light of dawn painted the sky in hues of gold and crimson as I stood in front of my warriors, the cold morning air doing little to temper the heat of my resolve. The rhythmic thud of their boots against the ground echoed in the quiet of the early hours, each step deliberate, each step a promise of victory.We moved with precision, like a well-oiled machine, heading straight for the borders of the Luperci Pack’s territory. My eyes scanned the horizon, sharp and unrelenting, my mind replaying the details of Alpha Lucio’s letter. The alliance was sealed, but now it was time to see if his warriors were as capable as he claimed.When we reached the agreed meeting point, I spotted him—Alpha Lucio, a towering figure clad in silver armor that gleamed under the rising sun. His warriors stood behind him, their faces etched with the weariness of battle, but their spirits unbroken.“Alpha Julian,” Lucio greeted with a curt nod, his voice gruff but respectful.“Alp
Julian’s Point of ViewFive hours had passed, five long, agonizing hours of relentless torment. Lucio and I remained on our knees, blood pooling around us, our fists ramming against our skulls with a force that would have killed a lesser wolf. The metallic scent of blood hung thick in the air, a grim reminder of our helplessness.As an Alpha, my healing abilities were thrice as fast as a regular werewolf's, but that wasn’t the reprieve it should have been. Every time a wound closed, my fists would open it again, the cycle of healing and self-inflicted injury an endless loop of agony. It was sheer torture.Each punch sent waves of pain coursing through my body, but worse than the pain was the humiliation. An Alpha, reduced to this—a powerless puppet at the mercy of a voice that had stripped away all semblance of control.The air around us was heavy, oppressive, as if mocking our struggle. My fear for the King grew with each passing moment, and with it, resentment burned in my chest. Ho
Kaiden’s Point of View“Now that’s more like it.” I smiled as I turned away from the two groaning people who were lying on the floor, surrounded by their own pool of blood.“Your Highness”, Caspian called beside me, panting heavily. I patted his shoulders as I smiled in understanding, I had left them behind, and they had to race all the way here.“Get me the Alpha of the Luperci’s Pack”, I stated and he bowed and moved away. Few minutes later, Caspian returned, his steps measured, unwavering. Beside him walked a man who, despite his battered and bloodied appearance, carried the unmistakable aura of an Alpha. His shoulders were squared, and his chin, though marred with dirt, was lifted in a show of resilience.As soon as the man’s gaze landed on me, he immediately fell to his knees, bowing deeply. I observed him silently, noting the exhaustion etched into every line of his face, the pain lingering in his eyes.“Your Highness,” the man said, his voice hoarse yet unwavering. “I… I owe yo
Avery’s Point of ViewI woke up with a dreadful feeling as I laid my hands on my chest, trying to calm my racing heart. What was going on? I thought as I continued holding onto my chest. A few minutes later, I was able to put myself together, then I walked out of my room.I still couldn’t believe the princess treatment I was getting here, everything felt so unreal. My skin was started to glow and retain its original colour, my hair had doubled in length and was very healthy.Laura practically treated me like family, she treated me like her own junior sister, something my own blood sister, Sophia had never done before. I sighed utterly as all the painful memories started flooding in my mind.Sophia had always been hostile to me since our childhood. She practically hated me and would do anything to see me suffer or dead. Even now, the memory of that fateful day clawed its way back to my mind, stirring a storm of bitterness in my chest.I clenched my fists as the memory played vividly in
Avery’s Point of ViewI stepped out of the living room, heading toward the stables, I took a sharp turn and passed two girls discussing, I planned to ignore them but paused when I heard a familiar word, ‘Krypta Clan’."Did you hear what happened to the Moonwalker Pack? And the Krypta Clan?" one of them whispered, her voice tinged with awe and fear."Of course I did," the other replied "The Alpha King wiped them out…. well, almost. They say he’s furious and won’t stop until they’ve paid in double for their treason."I frowned, staying where I was, my interest growing despite myself. A part of me wanted to ignore it, those people had never spared a shred of kindness for me. Yet, the thought of their suffering stirred something complicated in my chest.The first girl leaned closer and said. "I heard they’ve lost hundreds already; warriors, elders, even some of the children. It’s… awful."The second girl nodded in response. "My grandfather said it’s only the beginning. The King’s orders a
Kaiden’s Point of View“As of today, we are cutting off our alliance with these two packs; The Moonwalker Pack and The Krypta Clan.” I paused so that the people in the room could take in the news.The elders turned to each other as they started whispering, having had enough, I raised my hands and spoke with an icy tone, “If you have opinions or dissatisfactions, I would prefer for you to say them rather than for you to whisper within yourselves, knowing fully well that I can hear every single word you say”I let my gaze sweep across the room, catching the faint unease in their eyes. I’d just finished speaking when an elder on the far side of the table rose to his feet. His movements were slow and deliberate, and his expression carried a cautious determination. I knew where this was going even before he opened his mouth.“Your Highness,” he began, his tone deferential but firm. “If I may… it wouldn’t be wise to completely cut off the Krypta Clan and the Moonwalker Pack. While their cri
Avery’s Point Of ViewThe air was still thick with the scent of our passion, mingling with the crisp freshness of the forest. My bare skin tingled against the cool grass beneath us, but the warmth of Kaiden’s body enveloped me, keeping the chill at bay. I lay sprawled across his chest, his steady heartbeat drumming beneath my ear, a rhythmic lullaby that calmed the chaos within me.For the first time in my life, I felt safe.Was this what it felt like to have a mate who truly cared? Who held you like you were the most precious thing in the world?I exhaled slowly, afraid to hold onto the thought for too long. It felt fragile, like a dream that would shatter if I clung to it too tightly. Yet, at the same time, I never wanted to let go of him. Not now. Not ever.‘I can see someone is starting to feel all giddy,’ Lynexia’s voice echoed in my mind, teasing and full of amusement.I rolled my eyes mentally. ‘I’m not gushing over him,’ I muttered back, shifting slightly against Kaiden’s ches
Kaiden’s Point Of ViewThe first thing I felt was warmth.Soft, delicate warmth, pressed against me as if she had always belonged there. I inhaled deeply, drawing in the scent that was now imprinted on my very soul—wildflowers, honey, and something purely Avery. It filled my lungs, wrapping around my senses, sending a possessive hum vibrating through my chest.She was still here.Slowly, my eyes opened, greeted by the soft glow of morning light filtering through the canopy of trees above us. The forest was peaceful, the air crisp, carrying only the faint rustling of leaves and distant birdsong. But none of that mattered.Not when I had my mate in my arms.Avery was curled against me, her cheek pressed to my chest, her breathing slow and even in deep sleep. My mark stood out against her skin—a faint, reddish-purple crescent on the curve of her neck where my teeth had sunk in last night.A surge of primal satisfaction roared through me at the sight. I had marked her. Claimed her. And no
Warning: Mature Content Ahead Avery's Point Of View A choked cry tore from my throat as my back arched off the bed. My hands fisted in his hair, pulling him closer, needing more, needing everything. He growled against me, the deep vibration sending a fresh wave of pleasure crashing through me. "Look at you," he murmured, his breath hot against my skin, between slow, sinful strokes of his tongue. "Falling apart for me." I couldn't think, couldn't breathe, couldn't do anything except feel. His fingers dug into my thighs, holding me in place, his tongue relentless, teasing, exploring, pulling me higher with each calculated movement. "Avery," he rasped, his voice rough with desire. "So sweet… so perfect for me." I trembled against him, every nerve in my body burning, tightening, begging for more. His fingers traced slow circles over my most sensitive spot, drawing another desperate moan from my lips. The way he played with me, the way he knew exactly how to unravel me, was intoxicat
Warning: Explicit Content Ahead. Avery's Point Of View "His smirk was sinful. His emerald eyes burned into mine, dark with hunger, his breath ragged as his hands gripped my waist with a force that sent a shiver down my spine. God, he looked like a man on the verge of losing control. And I wanted him to lose control. I barely had time to catch my breath before he dipped his head again, his lips brushing over the exact spot where his mark already sat on my neck. A low, satisfied growl rumbled deep in his chest, the sound vibrating through me. "Look at this," he murmured against my skin, his fingers tracing over the mark. "Mine." The possessiveness in his voice made my stomach tighten, made my thighs clench around his waist. Then, before I could respond he latched on. A broken gasp escaped me, my back pressing harder against the tree as his mouth claimed me all over again. His tongue flicked, his lips sealed around my mark, and then he sucked. Hard. My entire body a
Kaiden’s Point Of ViewBlood dripped from my fingertips, soaking into the grass beneath me. I didn’t even remember when I did it. Didn’t even feel it when my claws tore into my own flesh. I only knew one thing, I’d rather die than be the one to hurt my mate.The pain, the self-inflicted wounds, were nothing compared to the war raging inside me. I had thought that staying away would keep her safe. That keeping my distance would be enough. But the bond… The fucking bond. It refused to be ignored.I had pushed. It had pulled. I had fought. It had clawed back. Now here I was, slumped against a tree, my breathing ragged, my vision blurred.Weak.Pathetic.I closed my eyes, but then a scent… Her scent. It crashed into me like a tidal wave, invading every cell in my body.Fresh roses… soft and delicate.Vanilla… warm and intoxicating.And something else… Almond, honey, and wild fruits.A scent so uniquely hers, so dangerously addictive that it made my pulse skitter. Slade, stirred. His restl
Avery’s Point Of ViewWould he feel the bond now, the same way I did?Would he be searching for me, too?The idea sent my pulse racing, my heart hammering wildly in my chest. I had to try… I had to do something.The pull was unrelenting. I didn’t know where I was going, but I trusted it. I trusted the bond. I stepped outside, the night air cool against my skin, and for a moment, I hesitated at the entrance of the house.This was reckless.This was dangerous.I should have stayed inside, should have thought this through, should have done anything but this. But… I needed to find him. My heart pounded with every step I took, my feet carrying me forward as if they already knew where to go. I didn’t question it. I just followed.The pull was faint at first, like a whisper in my veins, a tug in my chest that urged me forward.And then it intensified. The further I walked, the stronger it became, until it was an undeniable force, guiding me into the heart of the forest.The towering trees st
Avery’s Point Of ViewMy breath caught. A memory flashed… The vision… The pain… The wolf… The word that had left my lips. Mate. I gasped.And the voice finally spoke the words that shattered my reality.‘I am your wolf, Avery.’‘I’m Lynexia.’ The room spun. I staggered back, my breath hitching, my hands trembling.My wolf?No. No, that was impossible. I had never… I never shifted. I had lived my entire life believing I was nothing.But this… This wasn’t normal. I could hear her… Feel her. Like a second heartbeat inside of me. A part of me. My head spun, the walls around me seeming to close in."You’re lying," I rasped, shaking my head violently. "This can’t be true—this can’t—"‘It is true,’ Lynexia cut me off. Her voice was calm, but there was something beneath it… something ancient. Something powerful.‘You are not just human, Avery.’I clenched my fists, trying to breathe. Trying to think. Trying to understand. But it was too much. Too damn much. "You’re wrong," I whispered. "You h
Avery’s Point Of ViewI was still pressed against the wall, my body trembling, my breath shallow. My lips were swollen from his kisses, my skin hot from his touch.But it wasn’t just the way he had touched me. It wasn’t just the way his lips had devoured mine, the way his hands had explored every inch of my skin, leaving behind a trail of fire.It was what he had done.He marked me.A shiver ran down my spine, my fingers instinctively brushing over the tender skin of my neck.The bite was still fresh.The tingling sensation it left behind was impossible to ignore.But… why?I wasn’t his mate.I had known that from the very beginning.So why would he mark me?Did he finally accept me as his chosen mate? Did he want me as his Luna? My heart pounded in my chest at the thought, my fingers tightening over the mark. Then why did he run? The question hit me like a slap, knocking the breath from my lungs.Had he regretted it? Had he finally realized what a mistake it was? Had he finally reali
Kaiden’s Point Of View"Avery… please… please don’t leave me!"A bone-crushing pain exploded in my chest.And then, I was back.Gasping.Panting.The vision ripped away, but the terror still clung to me. My hands were still shaking as I ripped my teeth from her skin, staggering back.Avery collapsed against the wall, dizzy, breathless.Her violet eyes searched mine, dazed, confused."Kaiden?" she whispered, her voice weak.I stared at her, at the mark on her neck… At the faint trickle of blood. And all I could see was her lifeless body, drowning in red, cold blood.My chest tightened.My breath hitched.No. No, no, no."I… I have to go," I choked out, stumbling backward."Kaiden, wait…"I didn’t.I turned and ran.Away from her.Away from the vision that haunted me.Away from the terrifying truth that hit me like a dagger to the chest. If I stayed with her… if I let this fire consume me… I would be the one to destroy her. And that was a fate worse than death.My breath came in ragged
