Nothing in the world could have prepared me for that news. Sarah's eyes held nothing but sympathy. I should have taken the pills. Now it was too late. I wasn’t ready; I wasn’t ready to train a child. Damn, I couldn’t even control myself; how am I expected to raise a child?I began panicking. “I can’t—it can’t be; there’s too much on the line; I can’t be pregnant.” The words came out in a panicked whisper."We haven't run any tests yet; I'm only speaking based on the visible signs; we are not yet sure of anything till we run a test.” She explained to me, and I nodded, but I could barely understand any word she was saying..I paced around my room, waiting for Sarah to bring the results. She had asked me to pee in a cup for the test; I didn’t even mind how awkward it was—I didn’t care. Please let her be wrong. If she is wrong, I would ask her for those pills and stay regular with them. Anytime I closed my eyes, I imagined myself getting big and round. I couldn’t fight with a child in

My mind flashed back to the woman I had met in the woods all those years ago. If I could turn back time, I would have asked her exactly how her mate had broken her heart. Had he cheated on her? Had he beaten her? Or had he said the very same words Alexander Blackwoods had just said to me?“How dare you.” I growled at him. He was my first, the only man I had ever been with. “How dare you ask such a question, Alexander?” My voice sounded so cold; I couldn’t even recognize it.Alexander sat beside me as I shook with fury. “The healer had warned me when I began taking the doses of wolf’s bane. I didn’t listen; I was so obsessed with the idea of growing some kind of immunity to it. She was right in the end; it rendered me infertile—at least until I stopped my daily doses. And even then, we aren’t sure things will return to normal. With the amount of wolfsbane in my system, I am incapable of impregnating you, Kaida.”“I’ve only been with you.”“No. Just stop the act. I felt it… I felt it th

I had known Aric all my life. I grew up with him—he was family to me. But never had I seen Aric look so scared, never had he let himself appear this vulnerable before me. In that instant, my own fears and worries were cast aside.“I betrayed your trust, Kaida. After everything you have done for me, I betrayed you, and I am so sorry. I was selfish and stupid; I let my feelings and desires get the best of me.”“I don’t understand. What are you trying to say?”"When I convinced you to leave Alpha Alexander out of the mission, it wasn’t because I thought it was the best decision—it was because I wanted to have you alone with me. I thought that if you were far enough away from him, you would be able to—I don’t know—think clearly. Finally, we were alone and far from him, just as I had always wanted, and then… I told you how I felt. I told you everything…"He didn’t need to say more; bit by bit, the memories flooded in. The dream I had earlier was more than just a dream. I remembered that d

I didn’t know how to feel. While I had been venting about not being ready, a small part of me had already accepted the pregnancy—the challenges that came with it. For those few hours when I thought I was pregnant, I couldn’t deny a strange fascination with the idea of a life growing inside of me. Her news should have brought relief, but strangely, it didn’t.It was midnight. I didn’t know exactly how I had ended up at the door of our apartment. Letting out a sigh of resignation, I stepped inside. Maybe I did need to talk to Alexander.I found him seated in the exact same position I had left him, but this time, a bottle of liquor was in his hand. Even from here, I could smell the harsh smell of wolfsbane. My eyes widened, and I rushed to him."What are you doing? Are you trying to kill yourself?""Well, that would just mean one less person for anyone to worry about."“Are you crazy? You are the Alpha king!”He smirked; it was humorless. I had never seen him look so scary and at the sam

ALEXANDER’S POVHow could I have missed it?I always knew Kaida was different; she was not like other girls, and yet I doubted her. I had been the one wrong. She never did betray me.For the past few days, I had avoided looking at her—her eyes had this power over me, and I wasn’t ready to let her in again. But now, I noticed her—every part of her. I noticed she had lost weight. This was all my fault; I had jumped into conclusions too quickly.“Don’t hurt him.” She pleaded, and once again, that surprised me; after what he had done to her, he deserved to pay. Why was she protecting him?Because he would always remain family to her. Even after everything he had done, she was going to forgive him. “If he doesn’t suffer for what he’s done, he may never understand the severity of his offense.”"I know he deserves to be punished; I mean, he’s not exactly in the best state right now," she said. I couldn’t help the small smile that formed on my lips—of course, she must have thrown in a few pu

Kaida had been given medication to help her recover faster. I watched her sleep, my mind drifted back to the moment she told me she was pregnant. Very few things took me by surprise, but the news did. The first emotion I felt was… hope. For a split second, I wondered if the healers had been wrong—if the wolfsbane hadn’t rendered me infertile after all. But then came the internal conflict—there was a big possibility that the child could belong to her former beta, Aric.I should have told Kaida about my inability. I couldn't believe I had never stopped to consider how she would feel about not having children. I mean, there was a chance, but only if I stopped consuming wolfsbane and allowed my body to heal from years of damage.For years, I had taken daily doses of wolfsbane—a habit born from the day it nearly killed me. I had sworn then that I would never let that happen again. I was fully aware of the fact that I was risking my life every day by taking the doses, but I couldn’t stop.

I wanted to fight. I wanted to defend myself, but I was weak—helpless. All I could do was watch as they drove their silver daggers into me, one after the other. Five stabs, yet none aimed at my heart. They wanted me to bleed out—slowly, painfully.When they were done, they left me lying on the floor in a puddle of my own blood.At that moment, I didn’t feel like an Alpha. I didn’t feel powerful. I felt like a child—a weak, defenseless child. But as the pieces fell into place, I realized the girl had given her life to ensure my death. And yet, I couldn’t help but wonder—what price had they offered her to make such a sacrifice worth it? Or had she done this willingly? Perhaps she truly believed she was saving the pack by killing me—because in her eyes, I wasn’t fit to rule. I had never been so afraid and alone; I could literally feel the life slip out of me. “Mom.” I called out, choking on my own blood, but there was no response. This was it; they both left me to face the monsters al

"I heard sounds coming from this room. Who's in there?" I asked him.“Come.” He said, avoiding my question.“No. I want to know who is in there.”A flicker of annoyance crossed his face before he walked toward me. Maybe he knew his sudden disappearances and reappearances were already unsettling me—but I doubted he cared. Maybe he just didn’t feel like doing it this time.He took out a key from the pocket of his jeans and unlocked the door; his eyes remained on me. It took all my strength to tear my gaze away and look into the room. There, locked up in the room, were three girls— they were around my age, though the one in the middle seemed a few years older. They looked afraid, but no tears ran down their faces, even though they were chained up like animals. Maybe I had imagined the sounds after all."You kidnapped them," I said, totally mortified. I shouldn’t be surprised by his actions, and yet, I was. I was surprised because I didn’t want to believe that the Trian I knew was gone; d

DAEMON POVHer blood tasted every ounce human. I pulled back, suppressing the urge to gag. It’s been a long time since I tasted something so painfully plain—I’d almost prefer the sting of venom-tainted blood to this.“What’s wrong?” Kaida’s worried voice cut through the haze.“Nothing. She’s saying the truth—at least one truth. She’s no more than a human now.”“Now that you know that,” she said, placing her palm on her neck as if to shield it from me. The empresses had this issue with being fed from—they felt tainted, violated. The fact that she offered told me she was desperate. “Can you now listen to what I have to say?” she asked.I wanted to consider the possibility that she was telling the truth, but reconciling her past actions with her words now was difficult.“Speak.” Alexander urged.“The High Regents have taken over from the empresses. They are far more ruthless, and I fear they won’t be as hesitant as I am if they lay their hands on her.”“They won’t find her.” I said.“You

“Let me go!” the woman screamed. “I demand to speak to the Alpha.”The voice sounded familiar.“Julia?”Daemon immediately tensed.How had she been caught trying to sneak into the pack? That was the first question on my mind. The Empresses had the gift of shifting, among other abilities—it shouldn’t have been hard for her to get in. Cynthia had managed it multiple times.She looked different too—aged, not in the usual way stress might wear someone down, but like thirty years had passed in the space of a few days.“I need to speak to you. It’s important,” Julia said, eyes wide. She kept glancing over her shoulder, like she expected someone—or something—to appear out of nowhere and attack her.“I’m not letting you in. I’m not granting you access to the pack house,” Alexander replied.“You don’t understand. Do you think I’d be here if this wasn’t a matter of life and death?”Alexander looked at me. I gave him a nod. We could let her in.The soldiers escorted Julia into the dungeons—to th

KADIA’S POVThe meeting was tense. Voices rose higher and higher; it was unusual for a gathering of pack leaders to be this chaotic. Phil sat by my side, and Austin sat by Alexander. I would’ve thought it would be wiser for Daemon to be present, but if he wasn’t here, it only meant Alexander didn’t trust him enough to attend.“When everyone is speaking, no one’s listening,” Alexander said, and all arguments ceased, the room falling into silence. “There is indeed an army of the undead; I’ve seen it with my very own eyes, and so has my Luna. Creatures that even bullets made of the finest silver cannot kill.”“How do you expect us to believe in the sudden appearance of these creatures? I’ve never seen any, and with all due respect, this sounds more like something out of a fantasy novel,” Alpha Cain said.“You are a man of your word, and if you say these creatures exist, then they most likely do. But if none of us have laid eyes on them, perhaps they aren’t truly our concern,” Gamma Timo

ALIYAH’S POVThe light blue gown I wore clung to my skin, completely soaked. I was cold. I should change into something dry, something comfortable—but I couldn’t bring myself to move. My mind reeled with everything Daemon had said.Would he really have given up his title for me?Who was I kidding? He only said that to manipulate me. The title meant everything to him—at least, that’s what the more cynical voice in my head argued.But what if he hadn’t been lying? What if he really had tried to get into the castle, but the spell kept him out? What if everything he said was actually true?That was always my problem. With him, I could never tell the lie from the truth.A part of me wondered if he was still standing out there in the rain or if he had finally given up. Still in my soaking wet clothes, I stepped into the room where Ash had been kept, surprised by how quickly he was recovering. His once pale skin had started to regain its color, and his breathing was no longer labored. He l

DAEMON“You really want to know who Ash is? He’s my soulmate,” she said.A memory flashed back into my mind. Right before I killed the human girl Tasha, she had mentioned a man. I hadn’t thought much of it, not until now.“How long?” I asked. “How long have you known him?”A moment of silence passed.“My whole life.”My chest tightened with an unfamiliar emotion I hadn’t felt in a long time—betrayal.When I tasted his blood, I felt it; it reminded me of hers. It was strange, but I couldn’t shake the nagging feeling that there was something more between the two of them, and now I understood why.I deserved this. I deserved to lose her. In fact, I should be thankful to Ash for saving her life when I couldn’t. But I wasn’t a good man, and I wanted her for myself. I wanted her so badly that the thought of letting her go wasn’t even an option.She believed I had abandoned her. If only she knew that she was all I could think about. Right before she walked in, Kaida and I had been picking ou

I couldn’t believe I’d never taken a moment to consider what might happen to Daemon if the venom had side effects—even on demons.“I’ll do anything for you, you know that.”“This is risky… and Sebastian isn’t even sure you won’t get hurt.”“Sebastian.” Daemon repeated the name. It struck me that he might know the man. “What do I have to do?” he asked.“I have a friend who was bitten by a flesh-eater. The venom from the bite is slowly killing him. He’s running out of time—he needs help.”“Do I know this person?”This had been one of my worries, that Daemon won’t help when he discovers who Ash was.“Yes,” I answered. Ash and Daemon did meet—Daemon had spared his life, but that was when Ash had been in his wolf form. “No,” I corrected myself. They hadn’t met in person. “He’s in this because of me. He was trying to protect me. Please, you have to help him.”Daemon only nodded before wrapping his arms around me, and in the next moment, we were right in front of Sebastian’s house.“How di

“Who are you, and state your business,” the soldiers demanded.Sebastian had brought me to the Nightshade Pack, but he’d refused to go any farther. I suspected it had something to do with the Alpha King.“I need to see the Alpha.”“What is your name?”I couldn’t tell them my real name. If I did, word of where I was could spread, and the Empresses would come after me. I had to think of something—fast.“I’m a friend of the Alpha.”“You don’t look very familiar,” said the soldier with chestnut-brown hair, eyeing me from head to toe.“I advise you to go inform the Alpha that a visitor is here to see him,” I said, sounding more confident than I felt. “I don’t think he would take it lightly if I’m kept waiting.”The soldier nodded to the dark-skinned man beside him, and the man turned to go find the Alpha.I didn’t think the Alpha knew what I looked like; the only time I’d visited this pack, I’d been inside a carriage, and I doubted the curtain had revealed much. But the Luna—she must know

ALIYAH’S POVAsh was covered in sweat, his body trembling. The infection had spread throughout his arm, dark green veins crawling beneath his skin.Another cry of pain tore from his lips.“I’m sorry,” I whispered, my voice breaking as I wiped his forehead with a wet towel.The warlock, Sebastian, had tried everything—every spell, every remedy he could think of—but nothing had worked. The injury was unlike anything we’d seen before, and we’ve had no luck finding demons.Bruce had gone back to the place where Daemon and I had lived, only to return with the grim news that the location had been reduced to ashes. For a moment, fear gripped me, the thought that those hunting Daemon had finally caught up with him. But the warlock, Sebastian, remained convinced that Daemon was still out there somewhere. The question was: where?For now, there was nothing we could do for Ash other than prepare for the worst. Amputating the arm had become the only viable option. Sebastian had to perform the pro

Daemon appeared out of nowhere, his gaze sweeping over the approaching swarm of flesh-eaters.“Perhaps I just saved the day.” He gripped both of us, and in the blink of an eye, we were gone.He stopped at the pack’s borders.He hadn’t been able to travel this far the last time, and the only explanation for that was that he had fed on someone.“Where is Cynthia?” I asked, my voice barely recognizable. “I warned you—I told you the only one who gets to kill her is me.”“Of course, and that’s why she’s waiting in the dungeons. You’re welcome by the way.”“You didn’t stick to the plan,” Alexander said, his voice calm but sharp.“But I came back.”“Yeah, that’s what’s surprising,” Alexander replied, his gaze narrowing. “Why? You must’ve figured out the girl was never in the castle. You didn’t have to save us, yet you did.”“We made a deal, and I’m a man of my word—well, I try to be.” Daemon said with a small smirk, but I could still see the disappointment in his eyes. We hadn’t brought back
