ASTRID'S POV

The group was silent, a brooding tense atmosphere settling over us and Landon turned around to look at me again, his brows furrowing when he noticed the look on my face.

“Whoa… are you okay?” He didn't seem fazed by the death of the guard from silver hollow, he took a step towards me instead.

“I… we have to go” I announced, my voice desperate but he held my shoulder, his grip tight and preventing me from moving further away.

“What's wrong?” He demanded.

I noticed how the others placed their hands over their chest, their fingers grazing the crest over their armour as they gave their fallen comrade a proper send-off.

Turning back to Landon who was staring at me, his eyes flickering over me to make sure I was fine and for a moment, I felt overwhelmed by the grey and hazel eyes orbs looking me over. “Astrid!” The sound of his voice calling my name snapped me back to reality and I jerked slightly in his hold.

“We have to go. We've seen enough” I broke free from his hold effor

    ASTRID'S POV“Absolutely not” Ren sounded almost angry when I brought it up at the next meeting, leaving out the details of the fact that humans were suspected on the outskirts of the packㅡ that was for me and the triplets to figure out.I didn't know what I was expecting. Was i really expecting him to just agree to it?Ren gripped the large table that stood between everyone present at the meeting. “We can't afford to go about in the woods for something as stupid as that”“What if we find something?” I mustered the courage to speak up finally and I was rewarded with a glare from Ren.“What if?” He asked, his voice a mask of fury. “If?! There is no place for probabilities, Astrid Miller” Something about the way he said my full name sent goosebumps through me.Instead of cowering like I would have done a few weeks ago if I had seen him in this mood, I raised my chin, matching his gaze. “Staying behind this sheltered walls won't lead us to anything” I pointed out, earning a chuckle from

    ASTRID'S POVI tossed and turned in bed, unable to get some rest.My chest tightened with fear even in sleep. I was running. Fast. With purpose.The forest was dark, shadows flickering around me like claws reaching out to grab me. My feet stumbled over roots and uneven ground that seemed to tear at the soles of my feet, my breath ragged. Something was chasing me. No matter how fast I ran, I could feel it behind me— so close, reaching out to grab me.Leaves whipped across my face as I tried to run through closely packed trees. Branches tore at my clothes. I couldn’t stop. I didn’t dare stop.A voice echoed faintly behind me, but I couldn't make out the words. It didn’t sound threatening… it sounded familiar. I turned my head to look, just for a second and that was all it took.My foot caught on something and I fell.Hard.The world spun as I rolled down a slope, dirt filling my mouth, leaves stuck in my hair. I tried to scream, but no sound came out. My body hit the bottom of the slope

    ASTRID'S POVI broke into a cold sweat almost immediately, feeling the air knocked out of my windpipes.“Cat got your tongue, Astrid Miller?” He repeated, his voice a low growl that jerked me out my spiralling thoughts.My throat felt parchedㅡ my mind shallow and filled with a maelstrom of emotions that threatened to pull me into the abyss.“What are you talking about?” I finally said, looking down at my untouched plate while staring at him through my peripheral vision.He leaned against his chair, clicking his tongue as he did so. “10 seconds” He muttered and I looked up at him.“What does that mean?”He shrugged and focused his gaze on me again. “It took you 10 seconds to answer and you claim you don't know what I'm talking about? Surely, you all must think I'm that stupid to not know that someone in my ranks died and not from an attack as you all came back unscathed…” He paused and raised a hand nonchalantly.“... All except one. Surely, you didn't think I wouldn't ask. If the Lyca

    LOGAN'S POV“What do you mean the Alpha almost killed her?” Lucas sounded furious as I leaned against the wall in his study.Landon was reclining on the chair, admiring the blade in his hands as he watched the blade catch the sun while he marvelled at it.“I mean… the goblet was with poisoned wine. I just had a flash that she was about to drink it and that was all” I shrugged, pushing myself off the wall.Landon looked up at that, pointing the dagger's tip at me as though it were his finger. “Didn't you say you couldn't use your powers anymore?” He asked skeptically.I couldn't. He was right. What happened today was a glitch…it had to be.“Yeah” I admitted. “I don't know how it happened”Lucas looked at Landon in shock but Landon seemed to be thinking of something else also. My lips parted as I realized the reason behind his hesitance. “No way…” I muttered.A grin spread his lips instantly. “Yeahhh”I scoffed in amazement and strided over to him, my mouth agape as I clapped his should

    ASTRID'S POVI don't know what I was doing out in the village but I couldn't sit in the quarters and hope to get close to the villagers.Which is why I found myself walking down the road just as the sun had begun to set, casting long shadows across the path. The people cast me glances ㅡ fleeting and discreetㅡ but they quickly went back to packing in their animals and everything for the night before I could lock gazes with them and tell them anything.Oh, still in the game of ignoring people, cool.I should go back but I kept walking until I saw her—an old woman with a hunched back, struggling with a sack nearly her size. She dropped it for the third time, grumbling under her breath.“Here, let me help you,” I rushed over.“No,” she snapped. Her voice was rough. “I don’t need help from you.”Ouch.“I’m not the cursed omega who was banished or whatever you all call me,” I said calmly, reaching down for the sack again. “And even if I was, that thing looks like it’s about to break your sp

    ASTRID'S POVThe silence that followed was defeaning and I opened my mouth to say something but he beat me to it.“You came back with the triplets and suddenly, a foreign thing enters the forest?”I crossed my arms and straightened up. “Yeah, so? You do realize that the triplets live in this same forest, they are not responsible for whatever is in it”Michael looked almost annoyed at my words but he tampered it down with a deep sigh. “Not my point, Miss Miller. Look, all that matters is that something is in this forest and it's not supposed to be there, it's threatening the security that was given to us by the High Lords and goddess. The attack is one thing but with the magical barrier being tampered with? We're going to be fighting a losing battle”There was something about the way he said it that made me instantly start thinking. “Did you tell the Alpha yet?” My mind wandered back to Ren.“Not yet. I want to be sure of this first. Think you could get information on this?” He tapped

    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

    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“How much longer?” I asked, feeling my breath shorten with each step into the woods.We'd been walking for two hours straight and he had shown no signs of stopping. Oh, did I mention that I had asked him questions severally but all I got were grunts in response.He seemed to be more intent on speaking with the guards that followed us. Three guards from silver hollow and four from his.“Landon!” I couldn't take it any more, willing myself to move closer to where he stood, his hand on the sheath of his sword.He didn't seem to be fazed when I almost crashed into him, leaves crunching under my both as I slid to a stop from the high ground I was.“What?” He asked, looking around.The guards were scouting around, their swords at the ready as they spread in different directions.I had no weapon with me except for a small dagger because the weight of a sword would probably slow me down. “How far along are we to the destination?” I asked impatiently.He turned to look at me slowl

    LUCAS'S POVTurns out she wasn't good at fighting evidently judging from the hurried panting as she wheezed, the sword I had given her clutched tightly in one hand while she held her chest.“Stop” She panted, doubling over on the sparring ground.I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Why did I have to end up with someone who had no clue about anything.“Astrid” I called out and she raised her head up slightly to stare at me.“Seriously?” I raised a brow. “We've been at it for just 20 minutes. I have a meeting in an hour and you're supposed to be there, you know?” I reminded her.Silence followed and she struggled to straighten up, her hair messy in a messy bun with strands sticking to her sweaty face. “Absolutely not. I prefer it here”Gosh, she was stubborn and I didn't know if I should be impressed or annoyed but I was betting on the latter. “You suck at both” I didn't sugarcoat it for her.Her bottom lip wobbled and I could tell my words were harsh but I was never the type to sugar
