Kamrynn's POV

After Aryna awoke within me, everything changed in ways I hadn’t thought possible. It wasn’t just a physical shift; it was visceral, a transformation that radiated from deep within. Strength coursed through my veins, so potent it felt as though I could lift mountains if I tried. My senses sharpened to a near-supernatural degree. I could hear the softest whispers from across the room, smell the faintest traces of herbs lingering in the air, and feel the subtle vibrations of footsteps on the ground before they even reached my ears.

Tasks that had once left me winded—bending to pick something off the floor, climbing stairs, or even enduring the day-to-day weight of my pregnancy—now seemed laughably easy. My body felt lighter, almost like I was floating just above the earth but with a grounding force that kept me steady.

And my awareness… it was unnerving at first. I noticed details I would have missed before: the slight shift in a person’s tone, the tension in their should

    Kamrynn's POV Kyven’s avoidance was immediate and absolute after my rejection, and honestly, it was a relief. The absence of his endless chatter felt like a weight had been lifted, especially now, with the palace abuzz with preparations for the Harvest Moon Festival.The festival was one of the biggest events of the year, a celebration that spanned all Packs, dedicated to honoring the Moon Goddess for her blessings and protection. I had loved it as a child. Back in the Obsidian Pack, it had been my favorite holiday, a time when everything felt magical and alive. Before life turned upside down, Sherelle and I would gather wildflowers to make crowns for everyone, our laughter echoing through the woods.The memory brought a bittersweet ache to my chest. Sherelle had been more than my twin; she was my other half, my anchor. Her absence left a void that even time couldn’t fill. Now, the thought of celebrating without her felt hollow, but I told myself I’d join in, for the sake of the Pack

    Kamrynn's POV “I can’t stop thinking about you,” he continued, his voice trembling with intensity. “Your crystal blue eyes, your pink kissable lips, your intoxicating scent—it’s like a drug. I can’t pretend I don’t want you anymore.”“Kyven, stop this,” I said firmly. “You’re drunk. You’ll regret this tomorrow.”“I won’t,” he said, his voice resolute. “What do I have to do, Kamrynn? What will it take to prove I’m serious? Tell me where I’m lacking, and I’ll fix it. Just stop treating me like a child.”“It’s not about you,” I said, my tone softening. “It’s not your age or your looks. There’s nothing wrong with you, Kyven.”“Then what is it?” he asked, his voice breaking. “Why can’t you just give me a chance?”“Because I’m the problem,” I admitted, my eyes stinging. “I’m not fit for you, Kyven. You deserve someone better, someone whole.”His eyes darkened, and he hushed me with a firm warning. “Don’t ever say that again. Don’t talk about yourself like that, Kamrynn, because I won’t sta

    Kamrynn's POV The morning sunlight streamed through my curtains, warming my face as I blinked awake. Stretching my arms above my head, I let out a soft groan. Memories of last night came rushing back, unbidden and vivid. My fingers brushed against my lips, a traitorous part of me savoring the lingering sensation of the kiss.“Nope. Stop,” I muttered to myself, sitting up abruptly and tossing the blanket off. “We are not going there.”“But you are,” Aryna teased, her voice playful in my mind.“I’m not,” I insisted aloud, swinging my legs over the side of the bed. “There’s too much to do today. The festival’s starting.”“Keep telling yourself that,” Aryna chuckled.Ignoring her, I shuffled to the bathroom and splashed cold water on my face, scrubbing away the remnants of sleep and last night’s thoughts. Once clean, I padded back to my wardrobe, where Rmonica’s special gift hung waiting for me.The dress was a masterpiece—a deep emerald that shimmered faintly in the light. The cut flatt

    Kamrynn's POV By noon, the invited Alphas began to arrive, their entourages adding a new layer of energy to the already bustling palace. The first to make their grand entrance was Alpha Zane and Luna Isla of the Moon Blood Pack.The entire palace staff gathered outside, lined up neatly to welcome them, while Alpha Orion and Luna Rmonica stood at the forefront, their presence regal yet inviting. I lingered toward the back, watching the sleek black Lamborghini come to a stop, followed by a small fleet of expensive cars.When the car door opened, Alpha Zane stepped out first, his posture stiff and commanding. His blue eyes swept over the gathered staff and pack members with an air of superiority. Luna Isla followed, her movements deliberate and her expression unabashedly bored as she adjusted the folds of her intricate crimson dress, the plunging neckline so low it almost made me uncomfortable.“Alpha Zane, Luna Isla,” Alpha Orion greeted with a polite nod. “Welcome to the Blue Bell Pac

    Kamrynn's POV The atmosphere was thick with tension, Kyven’s declaration of “mate” still reverberating in the air like a ripple in a still pond. My pulse raced, my mind struggling to catch up with what had just unfolded.Alpha Orion, ever composed, stepped in with the calm authority that seemed to command the entire space. “Thank you all for your presence,” he said, his deep voice steady and commanding. His gaze swept across the gathered group, his presence anchoring the charged moment. “Let us head inside. I’m sure we all have much to discuss.”Everyone moved to follow his lead. I trailed behind the Alpha families with the other palace staff, doing my best to stay unobtrusive, but my eyes betrayed me. They flicked toward Kyven and Thalia, who were walking ahead of me.Their gazes were still locked on each other, as though the entire world had faded away, leaving only the two of them. The intensity between them was almost palpable, their connection undeniable.My chest tightened, an

    Kamrynn's POV No matter how much I tried to convince myself that I didn't care, I lingered around the Alpha's office, hoping to read the air when they came out, to know what might have transpired.The meeting between the two Alpha families finally concluded and when both Alphas came out of the office exchanging handshakes with smiles on their faces, I already knew what to expect. I didn't even get time to dwell on it before Alpha Orion called for a broader assembly. The news had to be shared with everyone in the palace, and preparations for the announcement were swiftly underway.By the time we all filed into the Grand Hall, the atmosphere was buzzing with anticipation. The Alphas and Lunas were seated in the front row, their positions elevated above the rest of us who stood. The grandeur of the hall, with its towering windows and glittering chandeliers, seemed even more imposing with the weight of the news that was about to be revealed.I lingered near the back, blending into the cr

    Kamrynn's POV Rmonica’s lips pressed into a thin line, her hesitation clear as she glanced away. She sighed heavily, her shoulders slumping as if weighed down by her thoughts. “It’s not that I’m unhappy,” she began, her tone carefully measured. “I just don’t like how rushed this is. A week, Kamrynn? It’s erratic, even for something as significant as a mating ceremony. They barely know each other.”I blinked, surprised by her candidness. “Do you think the arrangement is a mistake?”She shook her head firmly, her gaze steady as she met mine. “No. They’re fated mates. That can never be a mistake. The moon goddess doesn’t make errors, Kamrynn.” A faint smile softened her features. “And nothing would make me happier than seeing Kyven find the one who completes him. But…”“But?” I prompted, leaning closer.Her voice dropped slightly, tinged with concern. “But instincts aren’t everything. The mate pull is powerful, yes, but it’s only one piece of the puzzle.

    Kamrynn's POV I pulled on my favorite sweatpants and sweatshirt combo, craving something soft and comforting against my skin. The cotton material of the sweatshirt was elastic so it fit snugly around my belly. Today had been a mess of emotions, and I wanted to escape the confines of my room and join the others outside where the air felt lighter. After tying my hair back and glancing at my reflection in the mirror, I headed to the door.As I opened it, I froze. Kyven stood there, fresh from a shower, his hair damp and his casual clothes neatly pressed. His expression was unreadable, a mix of ease and uncertainty.“Hey,” he greeted, his voice light, as if we were picking up from a normal day. “I just wanted to check on you. How are you holding up?”I blinked at him, my surprise quickly replaced by irritation. “Holding up?” I echoed, my voice colder than I intended. “Why do you care?”His brow furrowed as he straightened up. “What’s with the tone? Did I do something wrong?”I crossed m

    Kamrynn's POV “Bait him?” Rmonica echoed, her brow furrowing. “How?”“We need to draw him out, force him to slip up. If he’s as calculated as we think, he won’t make a move unless he feels cornered. We need a public setting, something where he’ll feel pressured.”Rmonica considered this for a moment before nodding. “A gathering. A party,” she said. “A pre-wedding celebration for Kyven and Thalia. Draven will have no choice but to attend.”Relief flooded through me, and I managed a small smile. “You’d do that?”“For you? Always,” Rmonica said, returning the smile. “Leave the arrangements to me. You focus on resting and keeping yourself safe.”I swallowed the lump in my throat, overwhelmed by her unwavering support. “Thank you, Rmonica.”She placed a hand on my shoulder, her gaze steady. “Never stop believing in yourself, Kamrynn. And if you ever feel like the weight is too much, promise me you’ll come to me.”“I promise,” I said softly.Satisfied, Rmonica stood and gave me a reassurin

    Kamrynn's POV That night, I stayed on edge, pacing my room as though the act alone could shake off the ominous sense of foreboding hanging over me. Every sound made me jump—the soft creak of the wooden floor beneath my feet, even the ticking of the clock felt too loud. Sleep seemed impossible.But exhaustion eventually won. I sank into bed, my body heavy with fatigue. My eyes fluttered shut, and for a moment, I felt the beginnings of peace. Then the nightmare came.It started the same way the others always did—with nothingness. The darkness was suffocating, the kind of abyss that pulled you deeper and deeper, until the pressure in your chest made you think your lungs would burst. I floated in it, weightless, lost, and completely at its mercy.But then, just as I thought I might sink forever, the darkness shifted. Images began to form, sharp and vivid. I was standing in the middle of a field cloaked in darkness. The grass was tall and brittle, crunching beneath my bare feet.Blood spl

    Kamrynn's POV I lay sprawled on my bed, staring at the ceiling as my thoughts churned like a raging storm. The encounter with Kyven and Thalia had left me raw, both physically and emotionally. My cheek ached, my split lip throbbed, and my pride—well, that was shattered beyond repair. My body begged for rest, but my mind wouldn’t relent.The soft click of the door opening pulled me out of my spiraling thoughts. I turned my head just as Rmonica stepped inside, her ever-watchful eyes scanning the room.“There you are,” she said, her voice light but tinged with concern. “I’ve been looking for you. How are you feeling? You looked like you needed some air earlier.”I forced a weak smile, pushing myself up to sit. “I’m fine. Just tired, that’s all.”Her brow furrowed slightly, and she stepped closer, her gaze locking onto my face. She froze mid-step, her eyes widening as she took in the bruise on my cheek and the dried blood on my split lip.“Kamrynn,” she said sharply, closing the distance

    Kamrynn's POV “Let go of me! Kamrynn, stop! You’re hurting me!” She cried, clawing at my hand.“Then talk!” I growled, pulling harder. “What is your father planning?”“I don’t know anything! Please, Kamrynn, let me go!” Her voice cracked with desperation, but I wasn’t convinced. “You’re lying!” I hissed, yanking her head back. “Confess!”“I swear, I don’t know what you’re talking about!” she sobbed, her tears flowing freely now.The sound of a door slamming open made us both jump. I released her, turning just in time to see Kyven storming out of Thalia’s bathroom. His hair was damp, and a towel was slung low around his waist.“What the hell is going on here?” he demanded, his eyes blazing as he took in the scene.I froze, my brain struggling to process the implications of his presence. Then my eyes darted to the corner of the bed, where his shirt lay in a crumpled heap. Realization hit me like a punch to the gut.They just had sex. It's why Thalia was so fidgety when I came into the

    Kamrynn's POV The door to my room creaked open, and Tiona walked in carrying a tray of food, the smell wafting in before her. Amara followed close behind, her worried eyes scanning me as if expecting to find me on the brink of collapse.“Kamrynn,” Tiona said, her voice soft but strained. “How are you feeling? You gave us all such a scare.”I sat up slowly, managing a small smile. “I’m fine, really. There’s no need to worry.”“No need to worry?” Amara repeated, dropping onto the edge of my bed with a huff. “You were out cold for two days, Kamrynn. Two days! We thought…” She trailed off, shaking her head as if banishing the thought.Tiona set the tray on the bedside table and crossed her arms, her lips pressed into a thin line. “Luna Rmonica called everything off after we found you. The final day and night of the festival didn’t happen. She didn’t want anyone celebrating while you were like that.”My eyes widened. “She stopped the festival?”“Completely,” Tiona confirmed. “The Pack und

    Kamrynn's POV I floated in a vast expanse of black water, the abyss stretching endlessly in every direction. There was no light, no sound, no sense of up or down. The oppressive silence pressed against me, thick and suffocating, as if the darkness itself was alive. I struggled to move, but the water clung to me, pulling me deeper into the void.“Help,” I tried to cry out, but no sound left my lips. My lungs burned as the dark liquid filled them, choking me. The pressure in my chest grew unbearable, and my limbs felt like lead.Panic clawed at me as the abyss tightened its grip, the currents dragging me down with merciless force. My vision blurred, my mind screamed, and just as I was about to surrender to the darkness, I jolted awake.I gasped, clutching my chest as I shot upright in bed. My breath came in ragged gulps, my heart pounding like a drum in my ears. The nightmare clung to me, its cold, clammy fingers refusing to let go.“Kamrynn!” Rmonica’s voice broke through the fog of fe

    Kamrynn's POV The hallway was still and quiet, but the pounding of my heart felt deafening as I leaned against Alpha Draven’s door, straining to hear his conversation inside. My super hearing amplified every word, and what I caught made my stomach churn.“Don’t worry,” Alpha Draven’s voice was low but filled with malice. “It’ll happen soon. Just six days from now, a lot of things will change. The mating ceremony will be the mark of a new beginning for us and Orion’s family. They’ll never see it coming.”The venom in his tone froze me in place. This wasn’t just a boast or a vague threat. He was planning something terrible, and the certainty in his words sent a chill down my spine. My breath hitched, and my hands trembled as I tried to process what I’d just heard.What does he mean by "new beginning"? What does he plan to do to Orion and Rmonica?The room fell silent after his last words, but my instincts screamed at me to move. I had to get out of there. Before I could act, the door f

    Kamrynn's POV“It didn’t stop there,” Tiona said, her voice barely above a whisper. “The Black Stalker didn’t just take their souls—it used them to spread its poison. The affected villagers would stand in the doorways of their homes at night, calling to others with those dead, hollow voices. And those who answered... well, they joined the ranks of the soulless by morning.”Her words hung in the air, heavy with dread.“It spread like wildfire,” Tiona said, her voice trembling for effect. “By the time the remaining villagers realized what was happening, it was too late. The Stalker had seeped into the very foundation of their lives. And then, one night, it disappeared.”“Disappeared?” another voice asked, trembling. “Just like that?”Tiona nodded slowly, her eyes glinting in the fireligh

    Kamrynn's POVThe palace came alive one person at a time, their voices gradually filling the halls with laughter and chatter. Everyone had woken up and slipped back into their routines, but I couldn’t seem to keep up. My thoughts were weighed down by the nightmare and the dread it had left in its wake.Hours melted away like snow on a summer morning, and before I knew it, the sun was sinking below the horizon. Tonight’s agenda was packed—storytelling, singing, a drama performance, a talent show, and even a friendly competition between the Alphas to demonstrate their skills to everyone. The grand finale? A couple’s dance.I cringed at the thought of the last event. If it were up to me, I’d have spent the night in my room, warm under a blanket, away from prying eyes and uncomfortable encounters.
