I wore a gown—an elegant, mid-length, midnight blue dress. The neckline dipping just enough to reveal a hint of cleavage.“You should wear dresses more often,” Alexander said.“I wouldn’t have worn one if not for the fear of sticking out.”“You are the Luna of the Nightshade pack; you will always stick out.”We took the black Range Rovers, and the three cars following us carried five of our soldiers. Alexander took the lead, and I sat beside him in the passenger seat while he drove.“I didn’t know you were such a good driver.”“Is that a compliment?” he asked, looking away from the road ahead and at me.“No. I’m just surprised. Most ‘Alphas’ prefer seating behind while their drivers do the driving.”“Well, I’m not like most Alphas.” He said, his eyes still on me instead of on the road.“You will get us killed if you don’t focus on the road, you know.”He laughed. “Have more faith in me, Kaida.”“I would, if you were staring ahead instead of at me.”“You know what I think? I think I ma

“Kaida, I know you are capable of taking care of yourself, but I’ll ask that you stay close to me at all times.” Alexander said to me.The Gray Moon Pack was smaller than both the Nightshade and the Dawn Pack, but it was built a bit differently. There were no sub-houses around the pack to accommodate other members; instead, there were three huge buildings, and I guess that’s where all the pack members stayed. The soldier led us into the one on the left, the biggest of the three buildings, I believed, where the Alpha and other top-ranked members were housed.“Welcome, our King!” The man I assumed to be Alpha Grayson said with a bow. “It had been so long since you last visited.”“Not so much has changed.” Alexander said with his usual smirk, but I noticed the ‘mask’ was back on.“You are right; I don’t plan on making any new notable changes to the pack anytime soon.”“Thank you for having us, Alpha Grayson.”“The pleasure is all mine.” Grayson replied. There was something about this man

The moment I set my eyes on the man named Grayson, I felt an instant dislike for him; something about him was uninviting, and now I could see why. I couldn’t help but watch as he drank and laughed in his loud, unpleasant voice, even attempting to crack jokes. His pack members laughed—not because his jokes were funny, but because they felt they had to.Grayson grabbed one of the naked girls, and she giggled as he pulled her onto his lap. Without hesitation, he cupped her breast. “I think you have pretty tits, but I have to save myself for my wife at least for tonight.” He said, and everyone laughed at that. “I remember telling my father about my intentions to marry as many beautiful women as I could. He called me a fool; he said ‘one would have to do; you don’t need so many wives’… But guess what? He is dead, and I am Alpha now.”People laughed even harder like that was funny; I, on the other hand, was doing my very best to hide my grimace.“It’s time!” The Alpha called with a loud voi

Grayson finally walked out of the room after what felt like hours; the girl's sobs still stung my ears. I sat and I did… nothing.An elderly woman rushed into the room, perhaps to nurse the girl—that’s what I thought until I saw her walk out with the white sheet that was now stained with blood. A lot of blood. She threw the sheet into the air, and many reached for it, cheering for their Alpha.“A screamer she is… but I do like screamers.” He said with a smile.Grayson walked up to us. “Join us; the feast is about to begin.”Alexander rose, stretching his hand for mine; I rose without his help. Grayson led the way to the hall where we were meant to eat, drink, and party like a girl hadn’t been violently taken just a while ago. Our soldiers walked a good distance behind us.“Please, take your seats! Enjoy!” Grayson says, and we took the two chairs at the head of the table; he sat on the single one opposite us. The others joined in, taking their seats. Our soldiers took the first five ch

I rolled over on the bed—wait. Bed?My eyes snapped open.“Alexander?” I called, but there was no one in the room. Just then, the door creaked open, and a familiar scent filled the air. His scent. “Alexander!” I called again, and finally, he appeared before me.“I went to get you some food.” He said a smile—not a smirk, a smile on his face. I stared down at his hands; he held a tray of food. He was in a black t-shirt and jeans—I had never seen him in casual clothes before, and… damn, was he hot. “Are you… are you okay?” he asked.“Yes, I am.”I pulled off the covers and rose to my feet. A sudden dizziness overcame me, and I lost my balance. Before I could fall, Alexander caught me. The tray still remained in his other hand.“You should rest some more and eat too.” He said, leading me back to the bed. I accepted the tray of food. “I am glad you are awake; the past two days were not very exciting. I spent the last forty-eight hours worrying myself to near death."I had been asleep for t

In a few days, the wolfsbane was completely out of my system, I could finally walk without any support. So I decided to pay Aric a visit. I knocked on the door to his apartment, and as if he had been waiting right there, he opened it immediately and pulled me into a hug.“I wanted to visit you and see how you were doing, but Alexander is a bit more possessive of you now.”“It’s alright; I’m fine now.”Finally, he pulled away and shut the door behind him. “You would have died—I should have gone with you.”“But I didn’t. All thanks to Alexander.”“I might not like the Alpha very much, but I will always be grateful to him for this.”"He saved my life, and that’s why I’m here. I want to know what happened to the Gray Moon Pack and how I was able to make it here alive."I don’t know all the details, but I heard that every pack member at the Wedding Feast was burned alive—none survived. What’s strange is that the fire didn’t spread. It never went past the hall; it just... quenched."“And wh

Alexander wasn’t in his office; neither was he in the meeting room.I walked into Phil’s—one of the council members and the eldest among them all."Luna," he called, bowing.“Phil. I wonder if you have an idea where the Alpha is now.”“He is in the bar, Luna— I don’t advise you go to him now.“Why?” I asked.“He is a bit… occupied.”“Point me in the direction to the bar and I’ll be on my way.”.If he was having sex with a whore, I would feel it.I stopped before the 'bar.' The only thing blocking my view of the room was a curtain made of beads. I took a deep breath and walked in.The place reeked of alcohol as expected. I spotted Alexander; he had a bottle in his hand, and sitting beside him was Austin, another council member.Three naked women danced on poles; the one in the middle had her eyes trained on Alexander. The strange feeling I had felt earlier in the Gray Moon Pack resurfaced. Jealousy. I didn’t like the fact that Alexander watched them, though he made no move towards her

Alexander was in a fresh pair of pants, though I didn’t think he minded being naked.“You should join me for a drink, Kaida.” he offered.I did need a drink. I walked to him, trying to hide the discomfort I felt between my legs. I had asked for it, and I was given just that. It was fun; it was exciting, but now, all I could feel was pain. I had no regrets, though; I would do it all over again if time was taken back.Alexander helped me to the stool beside him.I accepted the glass filled with a light brown liquid. I didn’t mind asking what it was; I drank it all. He stared at me. “I’m a very bad influence on you.” He said.“You are.” I agreed, adjusting on the seat.“You are sore and in pain.”“I’m not.”“You don’t have to lie; I can see that. Perhaps I went too hard.”“I asked for it.”“You weren’t ready. I shouldn’t have listened to you.”“I was. I was ready.” I said and his eyes fixed on me. “I… I wanted to give you everything ‘they’ would give, so you won’t have a reason to want t

Daemon served the food on four plates, just as he always did, but this time, the girls came down to join us. I wondered if he was doing this to make me feel comfortable around him—no, I shouldn’t try to find meaning in everything he did.The girls finished their food first, just as always.I didn’t miss the way the older girl kept throwing side glances at me throughout the meal. The moment she was done, she pulled her hair to the side, baring her neck to Daemon.Daemon pushed her aside, clearly not wanting to feed from her in front of me."You've had your turn," he said, looking past her to the other girls, who kept their eyes down. Unlike the older girl, the younger ones were quieter, shyer, and more reserved.“You know my blood tastes better than any of theirs.” She bragged like it was some sort of achievement. She dug her fingers into the healing wound on her neck, and a single drop of blood trickled down. Daemon’s eyes darkened with need; he wanted this, but he was only holding ba

ALIYA’S POVI dreamt about the lake, the very first place we’d shared a kiss; it had been one of the best days of my life. But too soon, the perfect dream was interrupted by another memory. I stood in front of the fortune teller's hut, the bones and skulls hanging from the door clacking together with an unsettling sound. The old woman sat in her hut with a smile on her face.“Back so soon?” she asked.“You were right… about his darkness, he is the—”“Demon Overlord. Yes.” She agreed, seemingly unsurprised. “I had never seen such an amount of darkness in anyone before.”"You were right about me too. You told me there would be a big change—I didn’t believe you. But now I see. I fell in love, just as you said I would, and I was happy. But the pain you spoke of… I understand it now. He lied to me. I hate him for his lies, for deceiving me."The old woman smiled. "No, you don’t hate him. That’s just a lie you tell yourself because you want to believe it.""Fortune tellers are liars," I sai

“Have you gone to see the healers?” Kaida questioned.“No.” I answered; she got the clue that there’s nothing they could do to help me right now. “I’m fine.”“You’re not,” she said. I couldn’t blame her—she might even be scared that I was losing my mind. “How long has this been going on?” she asked. There was something about her voice that kept me calm.“Ever since I stopped taking the doses.”“Why didn’t you tell me? I told you that we would do this together; you should have told me…”“What would you have done?” I asked.I saw anger flicker across her face. “You told me you wouldn’t push me away. You promised me.”Was that how she felt? Did she think my silence was pushing her away? Guilt settled deep in my chest—a reminder that I didn’t deserve her. "I just didn’t want you to worry. You were so happy when I told you about my progress—I didn’t want to ruin that."The anger faded from her eyes. “I’m just… I’m just so scared. I don’t want anything to happen to you.”I wrapped my hands

“The drink isn’t helping, is it?” Phil questioned.“I needed it—I guess, but I need to head back now.”I dropped the glass back on the table, noticing how shaky and unsteady my hands were. Phil didn’t miss that either.“There is another way, you know,” he said, and I wasn’t entirely sure what he meant. “A way to overcome the addiction—one that would be less… troubling.”“There’s no other way.” I said, not wanting to get my hopes high.“There is,” he insisted. “If you are this affected, it means you’ve been on the doses for years… You can’t just quit; you’d have to take it slow.”“What are you trying to say?” I was snappy, restless, and on edge for no reason.“What I’m trying to say is that you’ll need doses of wolfsbane to survive this. You’d have to start over—but this time, with each dose, you’d gradually reduce your intake, letting your body adjust to smaller portions. Then, you’d slowly begin skipping days between doses. Eventually, you wouldn’t depend on it as much, and stopping

I tried to keep it from her because I didn’t want her to worry about me, but as the days passed, it became harder to conceal.The withdrawal symptoms had kicked in hard. Kaida was only aware of the progress I was making, but I didn’t let her know what I had to endure. I wiped away the blood trickling from my nose. It had been five days since I stopped taking the doses of wolfsbane, and every moment had been pure torment. Breaking free from my ‘addiction’ was easier said than done.I rarely got any work done. The withdrawal symptoms were impossible to ignore— involuntary shaking, random bleeding, a relentless pounding in my head, dizziness, irritability, and the tiny lapses in time that seemed to stretch wider with each passing day without my doses.I stared at the bottle of aged bourbon spiked with wolfsbane, sitting on the wooden cabinet. all I had to do was reach out, take a drink, and it would be all over; the pain would disappear. I hadn’t realized when I rose from my chair and ma

ALEXANDER’S POV“You really are that pathetic, aren’t you, Commander Aric?” I questioned. Aric didn’t deserve the title—we both knew that.Just when I thought the man couldn’t get any more stupid, he proved me wrong. I had found him before he could reach Kaida. When I’d said I would keep him away from her, I meant it. I had installed high-tech cameras, monitoring nearly every corner of this pack. I had spotted him heading to her room— our room. The pack soldiers had brought him straight to me.“You don’t understand; I have to see her right now.” he said, there was an edge to his voice, but he was in no place to make demands."Well, you don’t get that privilege anymore. You lost it the moment you drugged her, remember?" I reminded him."I—I shouldn’t have lied. I shouldn’t have told you all those things about her not wanting you. You’re all she ever talks about. She cares about you—a lot. And it… it made me jealous. I’ve been by her side for years, yet she never looked at me the way sh

"What?" I exclaimed. "No, you can't stop—I don't mind...""You will," he repeated, seemingly sure of himself."You told me you’ve formed a kind of... addiction to wolfsbane," I said, "You would suffer without it.""Yes. I would face withdrawal symptoms, but not until this incident did I realize how reckless and selfish I had been. Wolfsbane is dangerous—I risked my life taking it, but I did it because I didn’t care about living a long life. I lived for the moment, and at that moment, it had been what I needed to do. But then you came into my life, and I realized I can’t be reckless anymore. I can’t keep living for the moment, not when I have a future with you. I know the pain you would be in if..." He paused, unable to finish. "I don’t want to leave you alone. Ever. And so I have to stop and let my body heal. It might take months, even years, but I will learn. And when I do... maybe then, we’ll have a chance to have a baby."I only realized I was crying when he wiped away a tear with

Alexander led me back to our room, and of course I missed the warm, elegant space.“Are you sure you are alright?” Alexander questioned for the second time, as he studied me.“Of course, I had told you before. I am completely fine.”“You look very pale, and your skin is cold—” He took off his coat and helped me into it, his scent enveloping me. “And you’re a bit… jumpy,” he added. How had he managed to notice all that in just a few minutes?“I’m fine, just… curious.”“Curious about what?”“Back in the healing room, I had a lot of time to think… and I was wondering—do you know anyone with the ability to compel others?”The question sounded even more stupid than I thought it would, and from the amused smile on Alexander’s lips, he thought the same. I expected him to laugh at my curiosity and brush it off, but he didn’t."That ability is completely unnatural. A few sorceresses and witches possess it, but even for them, it's difficult and wears off after some time. The only ones who could

KAIDA’S POV“Luna, are you alright?” Sarah asked.I had zoned out again. Cynthia’s visit had only been a few hours ago; I still recalled how it felt like being ‘drowned.’ My throat felt sore, but it wasn’t the pain that bothered me. Until now, I had no idea how powerful she was; I couldn’t believe that I thought I could take her. If I had waited even a little longer and gathered more information about her—if I hadn’t rushed into this—things would have been much better. I mean, I know she’d never really let me off, not after what my parents did to her, but I wouldn’t be at the top of her list of priorities.Another surprise was the news that someone had taken the girl. I think her name was... Aliya. I still remembered Alexander telling me about her—how ‘important’ she was to the empresses, and their entire city. Could it really be pure coincidence that she was taken on the same day I attacked the Empress? Or had someone known about my plan, waiting for me to make my move so they could
