The woman standing before me had the same colour of hair my mother did, but slightly different eye color. She did look very much like my mother, but slightly younger; she was sobbing silently, and I noticed her swollen eye and her mouth... her tongue was missing, preventing her from speaking.

Slade walked forward. He stared the woman up and down and scowled in irritation—this wasn’t what he was expecting, and it was a wound to his ego. He kicked the woman hard, and she fell to the ground. I am sure he broke a bone. Thane stared down at the woman, and I saw something flash in his eyes as he picked her up; she could hardly stand.

“She is from my pack, and I had promised you she would be dead,” Thane said to his father.

Slade didn’t seem satisfied by that; leaving it up to him, he would have lengthened the woman’s torture. Thane whispered something in the woman’s ears before slitting her throat. She choked on her own blood, clutching on to her throat as she dropped to the ground.

    I had visited Nelly’s parents, Thane, by my side; his face was blank of emotions, but I knew it was all a facade.What exactly did he feel? Did he regret his actions?. I couldn’t tell, yet this had been the same man who killed many with a single care.Axel had sat beside Nelly’s mother, who sobbed silently, her mate trying her best to comfort her.I wiped off the tears trailing down my cheeks.Thane had told me he was going to make sure they never lacked; he did feel guilty for this. Nelly was only twenty-seven, living with her brother, who was one of the pack soldiers, and her mate, who had been sick for years now; that was all I knew about her. I killed her; I caused this.Lost in thoughts I hadn’t realized Nelly’s mother was walking towards me; I noticed she avoided Thane. I had expected her accusing eyes directed at me, but her eyes were warm, though filled with pain and anger but not directed at me.“I’ll like to talk to Luna,” she informed the room.What did she want to talk abo

    Thane was right; I didn’t need any external help to connect with my wolf’s side.I got accustomized to running on all fours; my senses weren’t as overwhelming as they had been the first time I transformed.I felt... free and finally complete..My clothes waited for me, just where I had left them before I transformed and I put them back on.I heard the footsteps approaching, even before I saw him."Hey,” the stranger called. Maybe not exactly a stranger; I had seen him before, but I couldn’t quite place where I had seen him.“You startled me." I lied“I’m sorry, Luna. I didn’t know it was you.”“What are you doing here?”I face-palmed myself ‘internally’ the moment I asked that question. This was no private space; anyone could come here at their free will.“I just needed to clear my head,” he said, a small sad smile on his face. He was good-looking—the type you really wouldn’t notice till you looked closer. I should walk away, but then I remembered my duty as the Luna, and he did look

    I woke up feeling dizzy. My head hurt, and my throat felt so sore.And there stood Jake.“She’s awake,” he says to himself; the sadness I had once seen in his eyes was gone, and all that was left was rage.“Yeah, I am awake." I manage to say, “What next?, kill me?. He would find me and then kill you.” I threatened.“Just like he killed my sister?” Jake questioned, the single tear slipping down his eyes; he wiped it away, angry at himself for letting me see that. The guilt I’d carried along since Nelly’s death felt more oppressive than ever.Coming to think of it this must have been what he had been referring to earlier when he spoke about taking the ‘little things’ for granted, he was referring to the times he had spent with his sister.“You know why she was killed” I tried explaining, “I wish it never happened, and it still haunts me... but she...” I trailed off, I couldn’t lie to his face, so I remained silent.“What is it you wanted to say?” Jake inquired, those sorrowful eyes on

    “She did nothing. The one responsible had been killed,” I said, my voice cold. I couldn’t give any detail away, it was no longer a game, not with my mother involved.“A woman was killed, yes. But the one responsible wasn’t. Your mother had been in my room. How couldn’t I tell? I can never forget that scent,” he says with a smirk. “My son is either growing weak or trying to spite me.” "Is it a shame you couldn’t ask my mother this question yourself?”“I would have, but she is under Thane’s protections, so it could be quite... difficult,” he says, and I snort. His gaze trailed down my body, and I held back the shiver of pure disgust.“It hadn’t been difficult for her to get to you,” I retorted only to spite him.“Hell hath no fury like a woman seeking revenge,” he says. And the resentment I felt threatened to break through my calm facade.“You should be ashamed of yourself” I hissed out. “If you hoped to get anything from me then apologies your royal highness, I know nothing, so whatev

    “Tell me Riley, Who did this?” Thane questioned.“I don’t know,” I say.“I need a name, and you can either tell me or I’ll find out myself,” he says, his hands trailing down the white bandage wrapped around my head, one I wasn’t sure I needed since my wolf was already accelerating the healing process. This was one of the many pecks of getting my wolf back.“Would you force a name out of me with your Alpha... ‘thingy’?” I asked with a smile and he stared at me like he thought I was crazy.“Is not called the Alpha ‘thingy’ is called an ‘aura’. And no. I won’t use that, I do not need that to get what I want”“I just... It was Alpha Slade,” I said finally. I didn’t want Thane getting in trouble with his father and ending up punished. I was not covering up for Slade, but ‘trying’ to keep Thane safe.“The bastard,” he cursed, his eyes as dark as coal. “Did he touch you? Did he hurt you?”“I already told you, I am fine.”“But your wrist isn't,” he said. Staring down at my wrist, which was al

    It had been so long since I was alone in a room with Axel; I needed to talk to him; he couldn’t just drop a bombshell on me and walk away like that. But he was rather more interested in speaking about ‘the incident’.“So this random guy just pops out of nowhere; you’ve never seen him before, and he’s like, Let’s go to the creepy safe house, and you go with him?” Axel asked, his voice disapproving.“No... I mean, yes. But it didn’t happen that way; you made me look so foolish in that theory of yours.”“So what did happen?”“I was out for a run... but I had hoped to see you,” I admitted, and his eyes softened. “But when I didn’t, I figured I could just go... alone, and that was what I did. I had gone through with it, but then ‘he’ showed up; he seemed so sad. I thought he was one of us—a member of this pack—and I had been so bored, he offered to escort me anywhere I wanted to go, but then he brought up the idea; he made it seem like it had just occurred to him; I never knew it was all p

    Reservations were cast aside.Axels’ fingers brushed against the lace of my panties before moving it to the side. He gently stroked me in there, and I moaned, leaning against him. In slow movement, his fingers when round my clit, the pleasure almost unbearable. Finally, he dipped the single finger into me, pumping in and out."I'll add a second," he informs before his second finger sinks in. I rode his fingers fast; his chest vibrated with a deep rumble of satisfaction; I could almost feel his wants, yet he held it down, intent on just satisfying me. His fingers curled in me, hitting the 'spot' and I moaned out his name.I claimed his lips, and he kissed me back hungrily, his fingers still thrusting deeper into me."Can you take one more? he asked, and I nodded. He eased out the two fingers and then slammed back in with a third added, and that had almost brought me to the edge. His thumb stroked my clit as his fingers pounded into me, and I came hard. He cradled me against his chest,

    "You seem lost in thoughts; what are you thinking about?" Thane enquired. It was late at night, but my mind was very much awake, and of course, Thane noticed that."Nothing," I lied."Are you by any means thinking about Axels’ proclamation?" He asked, and I was silenced. I always thought Thane was very good at reading people, but what if... it was more than that? There was no way he could have read that off my face alone."Thane, I think you can read minds.""Does that mean I guessed correct?""Yes, and how... how did you do that?""I am a really good guesser, I think?""No, it is more than that; I feel like there is something more, something you aren't telling me.""Riley, look at me," he says, and I do just that. "I am not a mind reader; that would be cool but it only happens in books and movies, I cannot do that. Axel told me about it earlier; when you had been kidnapped, he thought it was his fault, and so I guessed.""Because I am an open book?" I questioned"No, I find you myste

    It was time, I would have to pay a visit to the Nightshade pack. Beta Aric was nowhere to be found.I stopped in the courtroom to inform my father that I was leaving, but I noticed he wasn’t alone, Aric was there too. I stopped by the entrance, they hadn’t noticed me and so I hid away from view.“You are marrying her to the Alpha King?” Aric asked, this was indeed the first time I had heard him question the Alpha.“Yes, my daughter will marry the Alpha King.”“You know that’s not where she belongs.”“I will be having no discussion over this matter, it is already settled and done.”“You know who he is…”My father cut Aric off. “He is ruthless, every powerful Alpha is, fear is sometimes power.”“The Blackwood lineage is a powerful one, but it’s cursed – that’s what I think. How else would you explain the mysterious deaths? Slade had been killed by his own son, Thane who wanted the throne – there had been other rumours too, that Freya, his mate, had actually been the one behind his deat

    Kaida’s POVWith each passing day, I couldn't help but wonder if I'd made a mistake, if I'd doomed myself with my own words—but it was too late to turn back now. I had never met Alpha Ethan before. Though we were neighboring packs, my father and the beta had always been the one going for the meetings, I didn’t do well with meetings and parties and maybe my father was right. Being an Alpha was about more than just being a warrior.I got dressed in my usual clothing, leather pants matched with a black leather jacket and a glove to cover my missing pinkie finger. Had I forgotten to mention that some little 'accident' had cost me a finger? As if that flaw wasn't enough, my body was also marked with a number of scars, so while I had always despised wearing fancy gowns and pretty little dresses, it did make sense why I had to cover up.The men carried their scars with pride, like it was some kind of proof of how fierce they were; scars on a woman had a completely different representation;

    PROLOGUE.Kaida’s POVI was not like the other girls; I knew that even as a little child. My father had found it strange that a girl of my age was more interested in watching the pack warriors train rather than playing with toys like the other kids her age did at the pack.I had one dream, and though it may sound impossible, I held onto it. I believed that I could one day become an… Alpha. The first Female Alpha.My father had no male child to inherit his title and take his place, and so each day, I trained to be the best at everything. I was twenty and five years of age and yet to find my mate. To be honest, I hadn’t even been searching for him—whoever he was; on the contrary, I dreaded finding my mate, because that would only bring an end to my dream of becoming an Alpha. I believed it was all fate pointing me in the right direction; this was my destiny.That had been what I thought until everything changed right before my eyes..My father, Alpha Trent, of the Dawn pack, summoned

    Thane and I returned back to the Nightshade pack. I couldn’t stay at the Raven Clan pack even a bit longer. I couldn’t look into Gabriel's face and see how shattered he was. Mother had broken his heart, not just his’ but the whole pack's, and all she left was a letter. No one deserved that treatment, and yet, there was nothing I could do about it.“So she ran away with the warlock?” Thane asked.“Seem so. I had checked his place; he burnt the whole building to the ground, possibly because he hated the house or maybe…”“He wanted to start afresh.” Thane completed.“Yes, I can’t trace him; he is gone and maybe… I don’t want to find him. My mother says she would visit to see Ethan, but that could be in months or even years.”There was a knock on the door. It was Meredith; she had Ethan in her arms.“Your son is well and healthy.” She said before passing him to me. I held him in my hands; he had grown considerably, and he stared at me with big blue eyes, and in that moment I fell in love

    I had found my mother an hour later at the farm; she was dressed in a regular gown.“What are you doing? The ceremony had begun, and people were getting very worried.” I said to her, but she gave no response; she had her back to me. “Mom!” I walked to her, and only when I saw her face did I notice something was wrong. Tears streamed down her eyes.“I can’t do it,” she says. “What do you mean you can’t do it? Gabriel is the love of your life; you wanted this. What changed?”“Everything. Everything changed.”“I don’t understand you—what is wrong? Why are you crying?”“You never told me. You knew, and you never told me.” She says, and that silenced me. “You knew that your father, Sebastian Bruce, was alive. You always hide things from me, and I had to go on with it because you are the queen, and you can’t always share things with me like you once would do, but this wasn’t about you—this was my life, and you never uttered a word. You were going to leave me in the dark.”“Bruce had left

    I had to make sure I was fully covered at all times; we couldn’t risk people discovering what I was, and my cold skin would give the clue.“How is Ethan, your son?” Mom asked the moment we were alone in the room.“I had entrusted him to one of the healers; he wasn’t safe in the pack, and so I had to let her take him away. He stayed amongst the humans, but I had sent for him. Things are better now, and it’s time I gave him my full attention.“Why didn’t you tell me anything about what was going on? I would have helped.”“You would have been in danger; I didn’t want that.”“Oh Riley, always thinking about others before yourself.”“Gabriel seems to be treating you very well.”“He is, more than that, I love this pack too; this place feels like home.” She said,“So when are you going to show me the dress?” I asked, and she chuckled like a teenager; for a moment we both laughed over nothing..“You look beautiful in that dress.” I complimented. My mother had gone for a white wedding dress;

    THANEI never did tell Riley about Axel. He wouldn’t have wanted me to; he would have wanted her to move on. She was dealing with a lot, but I was going to stand by her through it all.She didn’t like me watching her drinking blood; if only she knew I found it… sexy..I stood before over twenty Alphas, many of whom had frowns on their faces. I had to tell them the truth and try to make peace with them.“Thank you all for coming. I am glad to see you all well.I had gathered you here to address an issue, in which some of you had no clue about.”I went ahead to inform them that there had indeed been a demon ruling in my place; I didn’t go deep into that. Despite everything, I still owed Daemon big time. I explained our plight with the Demon Overlord and how he is being held down now. By the time I was done, I noticed the change, the way they stared at Riley with an eye of respect. I guess they were finally adding the dots.“All of the previous rules made will be canceled.” I informed

    RILEYI remembered it all. The feeling of the dagger tearing through me, the pain so unbearable I became numb. Thane's pleads. I had died… but I was awoken a demon.Nothing was the same.I stood in front of the mirror staring at myself. My hair, my eyes, my skin—nothing was the same. A maid came in with a tray of food. “Luna.” She called, giving a low bow. I settled on the couch, taking a plate and filling it up with food. Even this smelled different. I put a spoon filled with rice into my mouth; I spit it out immediately.“What is this?”“Rice and soup, Luna.” She said, panic written on her face.It didn’t taste right, and that wasn’t because it was wrongly cooked but because I had a different food preference now that I was a full demon. I didn’t want to live on only blood like Daemon; I wanted to be normal, or at least try to be.“I feel a bit sick; that should be the reason the food tasted different.”“Would you like anything else? Perhaps another meal?”“No, I have no appetite

    ..Many believe the Azure Grounds hold some kind of magical energy; perhaps that’s why warlocks, witches, and the likes come here.I spotted Jade, and I headed straight to her.She took Riley from me and placed her on the ground. She checked her pulse.“She is dead.” Jade says to me.“I know that. But there must be something you can do.”“To wake the dead? There is nothing I can do.”“Riley cannot die... You have to do something.”“There is no life force in her; I could have done something, but it is too late. Nothing can be done. Take her back to the pack and give her a befitting burial; that’s all you can do.”I grasp her by the throat, her eyes widened, panicked.“You told me to bring her here; why?”“I—I thought—she still had a chance. Look at her—she is paler than snow.”“Alpha.” Daemon called from behind me. “Killing her wouldn’t do you any good.” He says, and I let Jade go. “But there is a way to bring her back to life, turn her into a demon.” Daemon says to Jade.“I could have
