LUCIAN BLACKTHORN

“What is the matter?” I asked as Soren rushed closer to us.

“It's the inner court. Jeremy and the pack's court are seeking permission to mobilize some warriors that'll accompany Ayla after the trial to the pack's dungeon,”

At Soren's words, an inferno of anger bubbled up within me. “What the heck is going on through his head,” I growled. Jeremy was my uncle from my father's side and Dane's father. But I swear to the goddess these uncles of mine were seriously pushing for their deaths.

I stormed out of my bedroom, heading straight to the Grand hall. My immediate presence halted the subtle whispers at once. Everywhere went absolutely silent, without a single noise stalking the air. Everyone had their gaze directed my way.

Ayla had been brought in and was standing in the middle of the large Court with her wrists bound together by silver cuffs.

Nero growled in anger at the sight. And I felt the same anger pumping in my veins but all I wished for was to get this trial

    AYLA BAILOREI felt the hot tears that rolled down my eyes, and my fingers tightened around the leather gloves. Hesitantly, I turned around. My trembling fingers lifted to my lips, as my gaze met Lucian's dark ones. Was he shocked that I found the bloody gloves he used to hurt my sister with? Or was he wondering how he could hurt me tooWatching me, he took a predatory step forward with nothing but a white towel around his waist. “What are you doing here, Ayla,” His voice darkened once his eyes dropped on his gloves in my hand. He attempted to rip it out of my hand, but I took a step backward, holding the gloves up in the air. “Whose blood is this, Lucian?”He arched a brow, and a furious streak flashed in his eyes. “What the hell is this now, Ayla. Did Alexander put you up to this again? You should have learned from your past mistakes—”“Just answer the question, Lucian. Tell me that this isn't… that you couldn't have…” Tears pooled from my eyes. “Is this your way of punishing me? E

    AYLA BAILORE“A fucking Grishan witch,” She bit out, confusing me.I stepped forward. “You're saying a Grishan witch took my sister?” It was ridiculous, but the look on Lucian and Triss told me that was exactly what they thought.“How did you know? Did you see a face?” Lucian asked.“I felt the magic. It was dark and identical to the one used on the dead warriors,” Triss hurried to one of the shelves in the room, bringing a small glass container where she swept the ashes from the picture inside.“This is insane, why would a Grishan witch take my sister? It doesn't make sense,”Triss paused what she was doing, and glanced briefly at Lucian. I followed her gaze to him, and he looked like he was lost in his own thoughts.“Frankly, I don't know. But this just answered the question that had plagued me the last two days,” She dropped the glass container. “And now I'm positive Lucian's attempted murder and the murders of the warriors wasn't an attack on Lucian. I believe you were the target,

    LUCIAN BLACKTHORN Triss was crazy. And Esmira was even more insane than I thought she was. Those visions of hers were definitely messing up with more than her mind. Her reasoning too. That was the only possible way to explain why she had picked dangerous woods for this challenge, and worse, had sent Ayla to the most dangerous. Navae woods of all places.“I can't believe you approved of this and didn't fucking tell me,” My voice despite sounding controlled has a furious edge as I leaned back against the chair, staring at Triss.“Each challenge has been carefully xx by Esmira. She wouldn't have chosen Navae if it wasn't important. And besides, they're not alone. Each of them has a witch shadowing them in case the worst happens,”I almost rolled my eyes. I wished I was talking to Esmira herself, but she was only conveniently lucid when she wanted to and the rest of the time, like now, she had locked herself in the Supreme fortress scribbling what only she could understand. It was infuri

    AYLA BAILORE I groaned, almost in satisfaction, from the tingling flutters that ignited throughout my body. It was dark. I could hear owls hooting and the faint sounds of distant howls. I snuggled deeper into the warm, soothing feeling that blanketed my body. I wanted to stay like this forever, but a small whisper at the back of my mind kept telling me to wake up.I was surrounded by darkness the instant I snapped my eyes open. I could barely see a thing, and couldn't move either. It took me a second before the last few hours kept rushing back. The grey creatures. The fight… and I fell.I attempted to jerk up but that was impossible. I was being cocooned in a tight, warm grip by Lucian. He had me pressed into his chest and arms wrapped protectively around me. He must have jumped after me when I fell off the cliff.“Lucian…” I called, but there was no response. No movement. My chest constricted in fear when I couldn't hear his heartbeat.With great effort, I untangled myself from his

    AYLA BAILORE As I walked through the portal at the northern gates, I could already feel the shift in the air. Something was wrong. And it felt really bad. Three warriors were waiting for me there, along with a witch who was usually with Triss and also Dane.“Ayla!” He rushed over to me, as soon as he saw me, surprising me by pulling me in for a hug. He let out a quick sigh scanning my body for any injuries before glancing back at the portal gates. His sharp questioning eyes returned back to me. “Where's Lucian?”I shook my head. “He left me at the northern gates. I think he went back to hunt the wolves who had somehow gotten into the woods,”“Fuck!” Dane cursed under his breath. “I'm glad you're at least fine,”I looked around, the place was almost in a chaotic mess. “What happened here?”Dane held my arm, leading me away. “Some packs and a few kingdoms were attacked in the West. Some of its survivors fled here seeking asylum,” He informed me, and my lips parted in shock. Dane let ou

    AYLA BAILORE“So good… faster Alpha… Harder,” She moaned loudly, and in response to her demand, the slapping of naked bodies became more audible.I held the rag tightly in my hands, rubbing against the wall, refusing to back at them. I couldn't even if I wanted to. The pain in my bones was too much to bear, but it was nothing compared to the torment in my soul.I couldn't stop the sob that escaped my throat, and the tears that followed after.“You take me so good,” Garrick moaned, thrusting deeper and faster into the woman he was fucking. She was just another one of them, his randoms or whores. Whichever way he decided to call it.My hands balled tightly and I couldn't take the pain anymore. My knees buckled and I collapsed on the tiles, writhing in immense pain from the mate bond. Yes, he was my fated mate. Alpha Garrick of the Red River Pack was the wolf the goddess decided was the right choice for me. The man who was supposed to be my better other half. Who was supposed to love me

    AYLA BAILOREAs usual, I was given a ton of work to do during the ceremony. But that didn't stop the plans we made to escape. Emily should already be waiting for me at a hidden spot close to the pack's border.I glanced around the kitchen as soon as I was done washing the dirty dishes. The ceremony just ended and most of the pack members were still having fun and enjoying the after-party including Alpha Garrick.This was my chance to slip out without anyone noticing me. Hopefully, by the time Garrick discovered I was missing, Emily and I would be long gone.I successfully made my way out of the kitchen and took the quickest route into the woods that would take me to the pack borders.It wasn't easy running with my legs, I bet it'd be much easier if I had my wolf. Luckily I found Emily just in time with our small bag.We made our way to the end of the pack, avoiding patrolling guards. Security was not as tight at the pack borders and I sent a thanks to the Moon goddess. Then we ran, u

    AYLA BAILORE This was wrong. A bad idea. And it was going to be my end. I had all these thoughts as I was seated in a beautiful room and these women sent by Arnold dressed me up with the most expensive clothing and jewelry. They had even done my hair and applied some makeup.Now staring at myself in the mirror, I couldn't recognize myself. I looked different. I looked…“...Beautiful,” Arnold's deep voice startled me from behind. I jerked involuntarily, and my eyes instantly connected with his through the mirror.He cocked his head sideways, staring at me. “I knew I never made a wrong choice,” He smiled darkly. “Preparations have been made. And prospective she wolves have started making their way into the palace. We are late as it is, but I guess, it's the perfect way to make a grand entrance,” He said, but I remained quiet, having a feeling he had more to say. “I've made the right changes. You'll keep your name. Ayla Bailor of the Iron Claw Pack,” He added, and I couldn't stop the g

    LUCIAN BLACKTHORNI groaned. The merciless pain rippling through me was intense, much worse than I'd felt before. Even with Nero taking on as much pain as he could, it still hurt. I could feel the darkness spreading from my right hand, even with my bracelet still firmly secure around my wrist.I took off my jacket and T-shirt, collapsing on the edge of the sofa in my room. I could see the dark lines that snaked like vines in my veins, inflicting me with deathly pain. “I need Triss,” I mindlinked my cousin Dane. “Hurry,”A shot of pain rippled through my arm, and went straight to my chest, bringing me to my knees. I could barely keep my vision straight as darkness had begun to seep within and neither could I feel Nero anymore, instead echoes of dark whispers filled my mind.Thank the goddess I heard the doors open at that moment, and hasty footfalls hurried closer. In the next second, I felt the warmth of magic seeping through my bones, relieving me of the pain that stalked my veins,

    TRISS LANNISTER “Hello, sister,”I drew in a shuddery breath as my hand flew to my lips in disbelief.“Devoss?” I whispered as a series of emotions rammed through me. It'd been years since I laid eyes on him. He'd never been one to stay in one place, especially not here in the North, always on the move from one region to the other. It didn't matter as long as there was even a fraction of hope that he could find our little sister or at least prove she was still alive.“It's good to see you again, Triss,” At his words, I lunged forward, wrapping my arms around him and I wasn't surprised he leaned in. Devoss had taken my decision to join Lucian's coven quite better than the others.“It's good to see too, brother,” We took solace in his warmth even if it was just for a minute before we pulled apart and my eyes locked with those gray eyes. “What are you doing here?”“Our brother played himself right into another's plans. What he gave Ayla wasn't poison. But someone took advantage of it, a

    TRISS LANNISTER It'd been hours. Long frustrating hours I locked myself in the spell room in the witches’ quarters. I have tried every spell, and gone through every book of witches. But nothing. There was no possible way to figure out what the colorless, tasteless poison was.I had extracted a few drops of whatever poison was found in Lucian's spilled drink, and the little glass bottle found in Ayla's room with my magic. It also matched what I extracted from the bodies of our warriors who were murdered. It was no doubt the same poison.But what I couldn't figure out was what poison it was exactly. There were many poisons out there, and it was almost impossible to not discover their roots or origin, especially through magic, but this one was an exception. All the more reason I did not believe Ayla had anything to do with the murders.Yes, she may have laced something in the King's drink. According to Lucian, she confessed to that much, although Lucian had kept that confession between
