Eleanor's POV

The ride to Father’s castle was a tangle of warring thoughts pulling me in every direction. One part of me burned to see him, to demand answers and shake some sense into him. The other part whispered to turn back, to leave him stewing in his own mess. He’d never been honest with me before—why would he start now? Klaus had offered to help, sure, but I didn’t trust him either. His story about being a hybrid sounded too convenient, too slick, like a trap waiting to snap shut.

Yet here I was, driving on, my hands tight on the wheels, the cool air from the air conditioner at my face as the stony castle I’d grown up in rose into view.

The fanfare blared as I drove through the gates, trumpets echoing off the walls. Father must’ve been grinning in that wheelchair of his, smug as ever, thinking he’d lured me back with his little stunt. It made my blood boil. I swung off my car, my boots hitting the ground hard, and stormed inside.

No banquet waited for me this time—no grand

    Caddal's POV Caddal’s POVI watched Eleanor’s face shift, her brows knitting together as curiosity danced in her eyes. She moved her head slightly, the chandelier casting shadows across her features. Was she ready for this truth? I had buried it deep and layered it beneath years of silence and half-lies, all to shield her. If she understood—if she truly grasped why I’d kept her identity hidden—maybe she’d see the sacrifices I’d made. Maybe she’d stop looking at me like I was the villain in her life's story. Everything I’d done, every secret I’d harbored, was to protect her. Couldn’t she see that?I drew in a slow, dramatic breath, letting the weight of it hang between us. “It was the second war,” I began, my voice low deliberately. “We’d sworn this time to end the witches for good. After Francis’ death, there was no turning back. His death must be avenged.”Eleanor hesitated, then sank into the chair across from me, her hands folding in her lap. She was bracing herself, her eyes

    Eleanor's POV My hands trembled as I lifted the fork from the silver tray set before me. The plate was adorned with delicate cuts of roasted meat sitting in a sizzling hot, herb sauce. It should’ve been comforting, a simple meal to make me fill stronger, but my mind was a storm. Father’s words clawed at me, each one sinking deeper into my chest. I couldn’t stop replaying them—his revelation about the witches, about me. The truth he’d hidden all these years.Maybe he’d kept it buried to protect me. That’s what I wanted to believe. But now, knowing what I was—a hybrid, born of the Capris coven’s eitches—I felt nothing but a searing hatred for those witches. I wished I’d never learned of them. My powers, once a source of pride, now felt like a foreign beneath my skin. I wanted to shed them, to crawl back into the fragile shell of the old Eleanor—the weak, overlooked Omega everyone dismissed. That version of me didn’t have to carry this weight.I didn't know who I was anymore regardless

    Sebastain's POV I had to face her. I couldn’t keep running from Eleanor, the woman who’d carved herself into my soul. I’d fought tooth and claw to make her mine—through the pack’s whispers, the tournament, the nights I had lain awake dreaming of her. How could I even think of pushing her away, let alone hurting her? The shame burned in my chest, a bitter gall I couldn’t throw out.It gnawed at me, that moment of weakness when I had let my anger take root. In the heat of it, I’d agreed to strip her of her power—her power, the same force that pulsed through my own veins, the gift that had pulled me from death’s jaws weeks ago. If I’d gone through with it, Eleanor would’ve hated me forever. And I’d have deserved it.I paced my private room, the wooden floor creaking under my boots. I tried to shove that night out of my mind—the night that haunted me still. The sky had been a chaos of fire, flames licking from the sky as the witches’ magic tore through our midst. Screams of able-bodied

    Eleanor's POV The first day in this hellhole, I’d summoned every ounce of strength I had left. My hands had trembled as I pressed them to the wooden door, willing my power to rise. A surge of heat had flared within me, and flames had licked at the door, charring the surface with a satisfying burn. For a fleeting moment, I had tasted freedom—until Father’s guards stormed in. Their boots had marched against the stone, their growls filling the air as they seized me. I’d tried to fight, to call on my power again, but fear choked it down. The fire died out, leaving me helpless in their cold grip. I was no match for them, not when panic clawed at my throat.They dragged me to another room—a true cell this time, not just a mockery of one. Iron bars loomed around me, rusted and cold, the walls filled with dampness that seeped into my bones. A thin cot sat in one corner, its old mattress reeking of mildew, and a single bucket stood in the other, its purpose disgustingly clear. The air was hea

    Sebastain's POV The guards at the gate didn’t dare lie to me—not with the fury blazing in my eyes, not with the bloodlust simmering just beneath my skin. I was a storm of rage, teetering on the edge of savagery, and they knew it. One wrong word, one misstep, and I’d tear through them without a second thought. My hands flexed, claws itching to break free.“Where’s Eleanor?!” My voice thundered across the courtyard, drowning out the ceremonial fanfare’s trumpets mid-note. The sound died abruptly, leaving only the echo of my roar. I fixed my glare on the nearest guard, a wiry man whose spear trembled in his grip. His face paled, his eyes darting under the weight of my stare, and he thrust a shaky hand toward the stony palace looming ahead. “F-Father has her,” he stammered.Caddal. That treacherous bastard.“Where is he keeping her?” I snarled, stepping closer, my shadow swallowing him.“I-I’m not in charge of her welfare, my lord,” he squeaked, shrinking back.I didn’t wait for more exc

    Eleanor's POV That growl—it ripped through the suffocating silence of my cell, a sound I’d know anywhere. Sebastian. My heart surged, a jolt of recognition sparking life back into my weary bones. He’d come for me. Strength I didn’t know I still had materialized, flooding my limbs as I staggered to my feet. “Sebastian!” I screamed, my voice raw and ragged, clawing its way out of my parched throat. I pounded on the iron bars with trembling fists, the cold metal biting into my skin, willing him to hear me.Then he was there—his towering silhouette filling the dim corridor beyond the metal door. His presence was a storm, wild and untamed, radiating fury I could feel even through the barrier between us. A deafening clang echoed as a dent buckled the door, the iron groaning under his assault. He was smashing it down, each blow a testament to the beast within him. Another dent, then a third, the frame shuddering violently. With a final, earth-shaking crash, the door gave way, crumpling inwa

    Sebastain's POV I wouldn’t let her lift a finger—not after what she’d endured. She sat across from me at the worn oak table in our chambers, her frail form hunched over a steaming bowl of soup, the only barrier between us. The rich aroma of broth—herbs and tender meat simmered to perfection—filled the room, curling around us like a promise of warmth. I scooped a spoonful, my hand steady despite the storm brewing in my chest, and brought it to her lips. She ate hungrily, her movements desperate yet delicate, as if she feared the food might vanish. Each swallow seemed to coax a flicker of color back into her pale, gaunt face, the ghostly white giving way to a faint flush. I watched her, my heart twisting with a mix of relief and fury.Caddal. I still couldn’t fathom it. That selfish, scheming wolf—how could he do this to his own daughter? Locking her away, starving her, treating her like some tool to be bent to his will—it was the height of madness. I’d known he was ruthless, but this?

    Sebastian’s POVThe fire crackled in the hearth, casting a warm, amber glow across our chambers. The shadows danced over the stone walls, softening the harsh edges of the world outside, but my eyes were fixed on her—Eleanor. She sat on the edge of our bed, her bare feet brushing the fur rug, her thin nightshift clinging to her frame. The soup had brought some color back to her cheeks, but she still looked fragile, like a bird that had weathered a storm too long. Yet there was a spark in her green eyes, a quiet fire that hadn’t dimmed despite everything Caddal had done. It drew me in, as it always had.I crossed the room, my boots silent against the floor, and knelt before her. My hands found hers, her fingers cool and delicate in my rough grip. “You’re still here,” I murmured, my voice low, almost breaking. “After everything, you’re still here with me.”She tilted her head, a small smile tugging at her lips—soft, tentative, but real. “Where else would I be?” she whispered, her voice a

    Klaus' POVThe boat rocked beneath my boots as I dragged Eleanor away from that blood-soaked cabin, her beta sprawled on the floor like a broken toy. Ryker’s chest barely rose, his breaths shallow and ragged, his worthless blood staining my pristine Selene. That idiot, he’d dared to fight me, dared to defy me, and now he was a mess of torn flesh and fading growls. I smirked, kicking the door shut behind us. Good riddance.Eleanor didn’t resist as I pulled her across the deck, her steps steady despite the chains rattling around her wrists. She couldn’t fight back, not with the poison I’d been slipping into her meals for days, sapping her strength, dulling that wild power I’d seen her wield. She was mine now, a tool to bend or break. Either she’d lead me to the Capris Coven, or I’d haul her back to the Crescent Moon pack and force her to my will. No more games.I shoved her hard, and she hit the deck on her knees, her auburn hair spilling over her face like a curtain.“Get up,” I snarle

    Ryker’s POVI was trained to protect Eleanor, not to blindly obey her every word. That distinction had guided me through years as her beta, my duty was her safety, her life, above all else. So when the door burst open with a splintering crack and Klaus loomed in the threshold, flanked by two hulking guards, my instincts took over. My switchblade was already in my hand, its weight familiar and steady, and I thrust it forward, the steel glinting in the dim lantern light.“Don’t you dare come in,” I warned, my voice a low growl, edged with the promise of violence.Klaus’ dark eyes flicked to the blade, and a harsh, mocking laugh rumbled from his chest. “You plan to stop me… with that?” His tone dripped with contempt, his lips curling into a sneer as he took a step closer, his broad frame filling the doorway like a storm cloud rolling in.I didn’t care what he thought. I’d fight tooth and nail, hell, I’d tear this ship apart plank by plank, to keep Eleanor safe. She stood behind me, her v

    Klaus' POVMore than anything, I despise being made a fool. The sting of it burned hotter than any wound, a festering humiliation that drove me from Alicia’s cramped cabin with a snarl still twisting my lips. My boots pounded the deck as I stormed toward the helm, the sea air sharp and briny in my lungs. I needed answers, and I needed them now. Ryker and Eleanor had strung me along for six miserable days, and I was done playing their game.I found the sailor hunched over the ship’s charts, his gnarled fingers tracing lines I couldn’t decipher. “Where are we?” I barked, looming over him. “Tell me exactly where this damned boat is!”Torin flinched, his eyes darting up to meet mine before dropping back to the parchment. He muttered something under his breath, then pointed to a looping pattern on the map. “We’ve… we’ve been circling, sir. Same stretch of sea for days.”The words hit me like a fist to the gut. Circling. My worst fear confirmed, laid bare in ink and cowardice. Rage surged t

    Klaus' POVThe sixth day at sea stretched before me like an endless galaxy, the horizon a mocking line of unbroken blue. Not a whisper of the Capris Coven, not a shadow of land, just the ceaseless slap of waves against the boat and the briny tang of salt stinging my nose that I was already getting tired of. I stood at the deck, gripping the weathered railing, my patience wearing thin with every passing hour. And Ryker,damn him, his presence grated on me more with each day. I have been catching strange feelings from him for a while now, a quiet unease that coiled in my gut like a serpent.We had no reason to like each other, that much was clear from the start. But this? This was different. He moved through the ship like a ghost, detached, his eyes darting away whenever I tried to pin him down. He acted as though he hadn’t just crawled out of the Capris Coven’s habitation a few days ago, as though he wasn’t the one who’d sworn he knew the way. And Eleanor, since that strange night when

    Sebastain's POVI watched Leila’s face shift as the weight of my revelation settled over her like a storm cloud rolling across a clear sky. Her hazel eyes widened, then narrowed, her lips parting slightly as if the words she wanted to say were caught in her throat. The dim light of the lantern flickered across her features, casting shadows that danced with her confusion.“She’s pregnant?” Leila’s voice cracked, disbelief threading through every syllable. “How could you not know?”The question stung, sharp and accusing, though I knew she didn’t mean it to wound me. I swallowed hard, my throat dry as ash, and forced the truth out. “I only just found out she’d been using wolfsbane tincture.”Leila’s brow furrowed, her frown deepening as she tilted her head, studying me like I’d spoken in a foreign tongue. “Wolfsbane tincture? That bitter mixture—doesn’t it weaken a wolf’s abilities over time?”“What do you mean?” My voice trembled, betraying the dread coiling tighter in my chest.She lea

    Leila's POVThe moment Nathan’s urgent message reached me, scrawled in his hasty hand on a scrap of paper, I leapt into action. I lashed the reins of my carriage, urging the horses into a frantic gallop toward Bloodmoon Pack. The wind tore at my hair, the wheels rattling over the uneven road, but my mind was a storm of its own. Eleanor, pregnant with my brother’s child, had vanished on some reckless voyage to uncover her roots, without a word to Sebastian. And he, predictably, had gone berserk. The note was cryptic, lacking on details for security’s sake, but it carried a weight that sank into my bones. I didn’t understand it all yet, not fully, but I knew one thing I had to get to him before he went completely wild.The journey stretched across a full day, the sun climbing and sinking as the landscape blurred past, rolling hills giving way to dense forest, then the rugged outskirts of Bloodmoon territory. The horses frothed at the mouth, their breaths heaving in clouds of steam, and

    Eleanor's POVThe nightmares didn’t relent. Night after night, they clawed at me, vivid and merciless, peeling back layers of truth I hadn’t been ready to face. The pain was a constant now, a dull ache that throbbed in my chest and temples, but I’d grown accustomed to it, numbed by the burning need to uncover the full details of the betrayal surrounding me. Each vision was a rough piece of a puzzle, and by the third night, the picture was complete, its edges sharp enough to draw blood. I woke that morning with the taste of anger on my lips, the echo of thunder still rumbling in my skull, and a clarity that felt both liberating and suffocating.After a sparse breakfast, bread and a sip of refreshing water that did little to settle my churning stomach, I summoned Ryker to my cramped quarters. The boat rocked gently beneath us, the sea deceptively calm beyond the porthole, its glassy surface mocking the storm brewing within me. I sat on the edge of my bunk, my hands clasped tightly in m

The last and only time I journeyed to that forsaken place, I had been a boy, barely old enough to understand the world beyond my pack. It was a nightmare etched into my bones, a blur of terror and misery that still haunted me decades later.I had been small then, clinging to my father's side as we sailed across a sea that seemed endless, its expanse swallowing the horizon. I didn’t know the route, only that it took days, each one worse than the last.
