“I don't want to go back there…” I shuffled back on my feet, my leg catching against a root making me stumble and fall while the three men loomed over me, something akin to interest in their eyes. “Be calm. We do not seek to harm you. Let us help you. You are a member of Silver hollow pack, right? We'll get you back in and in return…” One of them paused, crouching down to my level, a smirk on his handsome face. “You can help us princess”
View MoreASTRID'S POVThe encounter was frightening enough and my legs were wobbling by the time I made it back into the room that was assigned to me in their quarters.The Lycan brothers room was just a few hallways away from mine and I was given a room of my own.There was a sudden knock on the door and I jerked slightly, my palms sweaty as I opened the door to see a maid standing there with a bunch of clothes in her hands as well as a scowl on her face. She clearly didn't appreciate waiting on me but there was a small sense of triumph in me at the way the tables had been flipped.“Here's your clothes” She forced a smile at me, handing the clothes to me.“Thanks” i muttered, collecting them from her.She didn't leave immediately, she looked me over with a disgusted look on her face. “You don't belong here” She spat.My heart deflated at her words but before I could open my mouth to speak, I heard a voice from outside. “I don't think that's your place to note”The maid paled, bowed and scurri
LUCAS'S POVI took one last look at the girl crouched down on the floor and I sighed. She looked a mess.We had been walking through the forest when Landon had caught the scent of blood and naturally we thought someone was being attacked by a rogue so we had rushed to track the person down but we had clearly not expected to see ….her.Her face was matted with blood and mud, obscuring her features but I could tell she was actually quite pretty and judging from the looks that my brothers gave her, I knew they were thinking the same.“Think we can stop somewhere and get her new clothes and all?” Landon asked, tilting his chin up at me.As the oldest of the triplets and the heir to the throne, I was laden with a lot of responsibilities and sometimes, I wondered how it would be like if I wasn't.I looked up at the sky already beginning to show signs of the sunrise. “Let's camp here. Matthew and the others will catch up with us soon. For now…” I looked down at her.She was hugging her knees
ASTRID’S POVA low growl echoed behind me, and the sound of twigs snapping made my heart jump into my throat.They were here and they were closer than ever.Judging by the amount of steps, it wasn't just one… I paused… those were human steps… not a werewolfs’.I squeezed my eyes shut, whispering, “Please, please…” over and over, my hand clutched around my locket like it could protect me.Then a strong hand yanked me up and I screamed at the force at which I was pulled to my feet.A large palm immediately clamped over my mouth.“Damn it! shut up!” a low, gravelly voice hissed near my ear.I froze, my eyes flying open, and I found myself staring into the bluest pair of eyes I’d ever seen. They were sharp. Cold. Watching me like I was a prey and he was the predator while his calloused hands easily shut me up.Who was this? Whoever he was, he had a dangerous air around him and I needed to get the hell away from him.He towered over me, his face only inches from mine. His jaw was sharp, hi
ASTRID’S POVSomething snapped within me.Pain. Blinding, soul-wrenching pain tore through every part of my body. My knees gave way, and I dropped to the ground with a harsh gasp. It felt like the mate bond had been ripped straight out of me—my chest ached, my heart thundered, and my vision blurred with tears. Was this how it felt like to have your mate bond broken? If it was, I never wanted to feel it again, I would rather die than feel like a part of my soul was ripped out.The hall fell into a cold silence as soon as I crumbled to the floor. Then came the whispers like I knew.“Serves her right…”“She really thought she was good enough?”“She’s always been delusional.”I could barely hear them over the howl of agony in my head. My wolf—she was howling in agony. Screaming. Begging for the pain to stop. I clutched my chest as if I could hold the pieces of myself together.Then I looked up. Straight at him. Ren.He wasn’t even looking at me. He stood there, his expression blank, eyes
ASTRID'S POV“There's no need for this much” Amelia rolled her eyes discreetly at me as she helped tie my hair up in a bun.Looking at myself in the broken vanity mirror, I couldn't help but fidget with my hands in my lap. “You don't get it” I whispered.I didn't expect her to. I was getting mated to the Alpha today after all and she didn't know that ㅡ No one knew thatㅡ but today, he was going to take me as his Luna and my life would change.From the omega that everyone walked on to the Luna whom everyone respected. The very thought made my sense tingle with excitement.Amelia muttered something incomprehensible, her hands working fast to fasten the lace at the back of my dress. “You're just going to embarrass yourself, Astrid. No one wants to see you in a dress at the mating ceremony. Alpha Ren certainly wouldn't appreciate someone… like you to go this far”Someone like meㅡ someone as useless as I was deemed to beㅡ that was the right way to put it and honestly? I couldn't bring mysel
