Faye's pov

I woke up to the sound of angry yells. 

I sat up and looks around my room for the source of the sound. It certainly wasn't here. 

Wind rushed through my room and brushed my skin, cooling the area around my neck.

My hand quickly flew to the left side of my neck and I sucked in a breath.

It wasn't a nightmare. 

The kiss. The mark. All of it was real.

A scream tore through my lips. 

*****

By the time I had bathed and dressed in a fluffy cotton turtle neck and plaid skirt, I walked downstairs to get breakfast like I was used to.

But by the time, I arrived downstairs, I realize I had walked in on something serious.

Tension the size eor Jupiter rolled off the walls, thick and unrelenting. Nobody, not a single soul, smiled or even laughed. Not even the pups who were usuallt careless and wild during breakfast time. All of them sat quietly in their seats. 

I looked around the vast room and noticed that something I shouldn't have — everyone had the same look in their eyes. Not anger, not mirth but something that resonated in all wolves when something dangerous was coming — cold, bone-chilling, heart-wrenching fear.

A war was coming. 

“What's going on?” I asked to confirm but no one answered.

They all stared accusingly now as though it was my fault.

A hand pressed down on my shoulders and I looked back. It was Beta Livian, Father's Beta and his looks said it all. A war was indeed coming and it was all because of me.

I spent the morning and afternoon, hiding in the garden — No maids, no guards, nothing. It was just me, the flowers, butterflies and the wind.

My fingers gripped the edge of the white swing until my knuckles ached. 

The whispers about me weren't subtle. It was beyond bad.

“This is terrible. The BloodMoon pack won't let this slide.”

“They've lost their future Alpha King. If there's one thing I know, that's the fact that we're screwed. All of us.”

“You're right but what happened?”

“I heard the Alpha King's son was killed by one of our own.”

“What?”

“Yeah. It was a fight over a girl. Can you believe it?”

“What? A girl?”

“And not just any girl… Alpha King Fenrirson's daughter, his mate.”

I squeezed my eyes tight at that last part. 

Killian didn't kill Jake just because I was his (Jake's) mate. He did it because Jake tried to rape me but no one knew the truth. 

All they knew was the possessive Alpha heir of the Silver Frost pack kills the son of another powerful leader over a woman.

In the werewolf world, when that happens, it was considered a power move,

A challenge,

A declaration of war.

I exhaled sharply and tried to push the thoughts away but guilt kept clawing at my chest. I didn't ask for any of this. I didn't ask for Killian's protection… 

Now, I wish mom was still alive. I would run into her arms and cry my sorrows away. This was all too much for me to bear. 

3 days later, the BloodMoon pack sent their first message 

The message was left on our borders — The body of our Beta's son, Carmichael. His throat was torn out and the words “Blood for Blood” was carved into his chest.

I panicked so hard I passed out.

I thought it would be over but the second message was much worse.

An emissary stood before my father and Killian in the pack's grand hall as he delivered his message :

“The shadows that fall across your park are not just the absence of light, but the presence of my wrath. The wind that rustles through the trees is not just the gentle breeze but the whisper of my vengeance. The moon that hangs in the sky is not just a celestial body, but a harbinger of your doom. Be ready, Slender. War is coming!” 

My entire body went numb with fear. I turned to look at my father. He clenched his jaw so tight I swore I heard the grind of his teeth.  

It was the first time in my life I had ever seen after speechless. In a few days, we will be at war.  

The week passed by in a blur of activities — warriors training in the field. Young pups joining the military infantry, swords being sharpened, muskets being polished. No one asked questions. They were ready to fight and I could tell they had been waiting for one for a long time. 

Guards followed me everywhere I went. Ever since the emissary left, Father had insisted I take my guards with me everywhere I went.

When I wasn't reading or painting or sitting in the garden, I was looking for Killian. 

It's ironic how I avoided him and now, I'm the one looking for him.

He was scarce around the pack and I was getting worried. 

I spent hours searching with the guards until I dismissed them and decided to look for him on my own. And I found him.

He was in the pack archives, deep within the underground chambers of the packhouse. 

The scent of old parchment and candle wax filled the air. Scrolls and book and brittle pieces of history lay scattered across the table he stood behind. 

“Killian?” I called out but he didn't even look up or much less acknowledge my presence.

“You're reading?” My eyes fell on the parchment in his hands.

“What gives,” He said, marking something on another paper beside him. “What are you doing here?” 

“I was looking for you.” 

When I said that, he lifted his eyes to meet mine and I exhaled softly. 

There were bags under his eyes as if he hadn't slept for days. He looked tired. 

“Why are you here, Killian? Everyone's preparing for war.”

“I came here to get answers.”

“Answers to what exactly?”

“Our history,” he said, gesturing to the texts spread out before him. “There must be something about our bloodline, about why we are the way we are.” 

“Killian…”

“I can't let go of this, Faye.” 

“You're not —”

He cut me off. “You should go.”

He turned his focus to the scrolls like I wasn't standing there. 

I hated how he could do this to me but what I hated the most was the most treacherous part of me that didn't want to leave.

I hated how he could do this to me but what I hated the most was the most treacherous part of me that didn't want to leave. I hissed, walking towards him, my eyes heavy with unshaded tears that tear deep into my heart. I won't leave, Killian, I will stay. I stood up hearing the word, “I won't leave” his gaze surprisedly raised to me. I stood frozen, the words hanging in the air like a bitter chill. You should go. The coldness in his tone struck deep, and for a moment, I almost believed it. I almost believed that leaving would somehow make things easier for him and me.But then I realized, I couldn’t leave him—not like this.“Killian,” I whispered, my voice trembling with the weight of all that was unsaid between us.He didn’t look up.

    Faye’s povThe tension in the pack house stretched on like a taut string, an ominous quiet settling over us for days. It was a heavy calm, almost unbearable, as if the world were holding its breath in anticipation of what was to come. I had prepared myself for an impending attack, a raid that would signal the BloodMoon pack’s long-anticipated aggression toward us. Yet, to my disbelief, nothing had happened. Our borders remained eerily quiet, with not a glimpse of their warriors, even as Killian led his patrols of our own pack guards, vigilant but uneventful.As I strolled through the grand hallway of the pack house, where ancestral portraits of our forebears watched from the walls, a growing unease nestled in my chest like a stone. Each creak of the polished hardwood floors beneath my feet echoed in the stillness, and the hushed conversations of workers felt almost conspiratorial. The impressive decor of the pack house, with its marble marble columns and intricate carvings, only added

The leaves rustled softly, almost as if they understood my inner struggle. The sweet scent of jasmine mingled with the earthy smell of damp soil beneath my worn boots. Despite the beautiful surroundings, my mind was consumed by a pressing urgency that overshadowed the peace around me.As I approached the wrought-iron gate marking the boundary of the garden, I hesitated, scanning the scene before me. The guards at the entrance stood like statues, hands resting firmly on the hilts of their gleaming swords, their faces a mask of stoicism that barely concealed their true emotions. I could almost read their minds; the impending punishment for Alpha Blake's death loomed ominously above, like a storm cloud ready to break. I felt its oppressive weight settling on my shoulders, a stark reminder of the consequences that awaited me. I braced myself fo

    Feya’s POVThe world had descended into turmoil. The once serene atmosphere of the garden was now suffused with dread, the sound of hurried footsteps echoing as guards rushed to secure the perimeter. My heart raced, each thump a stark reminder of the peril that enveloped us. The acrid smoke stung my eyes, yet I refused to waver. I was already upright, my body rigid with anxiety, my heart overshadowed by a darkness deeper than mere fear.Killian was the last person I wanted to dwell on at this moment, yet his image intruded upon my mind unbidden. Why did he have to act this way? My fists tightened, the fabric of my gown wrinkling under the strain. I couldn’t afford to indulge those feelings, not when chaos reigned around us.I maneuvered past the chairs, disregarding the worried glances of the elders, their eyes silently urging me to remain composed. But composure was a luxury I could not afford. No one could, not in this moment. The air was saturated with the sounds of gunfire and dis

People were fleeing, their screams piercing the air, yet amidst the turmoil, Feya remained rooted in place, her words cutting into me like sharp blades.I had not anticipated the ferocity of her anger, the way she twisted my own words against me. I was acutely aware of her disdain for me; that was never in question. However, in that moment, her feelings transcended mere hatred. It was a profound repudiation of everything I had ever attempted to achieve.I had inquired about Killian, but now, despite my urge to shake her and demand his whereabouts, I had to confront a harsh truth. A shift had occurred. Trust had evaporated; I could rely on no one here, not even Feya.Then, as swiftly as the confrontation had begun, she crumpled to the ground. The needle embedded in her neck had accomplished its purpose, extinguishing the fury that had ignited between us in an instant.I bent down to

    Killian povThe weight of Feya in my arms felt like an insurmountable burden, heavier than anything I had ever lifted. Yet, there was no alternative; she was my entire world, and I would do everything in my power to protect her. My heart raced violently within my chest, and each step I took toward the pack clinic seemed to stretch into infinity. Outside, chaos reigned—explosions echoed in the distance, and the ground trembled with the force of each detonation. But none of that registered in my mind. My sole focus was on Feya, consumed by the urgent need to ensure her survival.“Stay with me, Feya,” I whispered, my voice thick with urgency. “Please.”I pushed through the clinic doors, my eyes darting around the room in a frantic search. The faint scent of antiseptic mixed with the metallic tang of blood hung in the air, and an unsettling stillness enveloped the space, sending a shiver down my spine. The usual buzz of medical activity was absent, replaced by an oppressive silence that m

The world outside was crumbling, but here, in this sterile room, with the faint scent of antiseptic clinging to the air, everything felt like it had come to a screeching halt. My eyes never left her face. I couldn’t take my gaze off her, not even for a second.“Feya?” I whispered again, my voice breaking, but there was no response. Her breathing remained shallow, a fragile rhythm that made my heart twist in pain.I reached out, my fingers brushing her cheek, hoping for any sign that she would open her eyes. The seconds stretched, and the silence between us felt like an eternity. I couldn't breathe. Her skin was too cold, her pulse too faint, but her body had at least stopped convulsing, the worst of the immediate danger had passed—still, she was far from safe.“Come on, Feya. You can fight this. You always fight,”

My body was exhausted, a taut string pulled too tight, threatening to snap under the weight of everything. The sedative that had been coursing through my veins had worn off, leaving me drained and weak, but the sense of urgency in Killian’s movements was the only thing keeping me tethered to the present.But as my eyes drifted closed again, I could feel the car’s speed increasing. Killian was pushing us farther and farther from the pack, farther from the only place that I had ever called home. His grip on the wheel was tight, knuckles white from the strain. I could tell he was doing everything he could to block out the world around him, but the tension in his jaw, the clenched teeth—everything about him screamed that he was running from something.I knew him well enough to recognize the signs

    Feya's POVI was sitting beside Alpha Blake in the grand living room of the pack house, the flickering fire casting shadows over the stone walls. The low murmur of conversation filled the room as everyone continued to enjoy the festivities, but I couldn’t seem to focus. My fingers tapped nervously on the armrest, my mind elsewhere. Alpha Blake was talking, his words slipping by me like water, not really reaching me.Then it came—the beep. A soft sound at first, almost inaudible over the low hum of chatter. I ignored it. But then, it came again. Another beep, then another. My phone.I glanced down at it, the persistent vibrations vibrating through the surface of the coffee table. I almost dismissed it, but something told me I shouldn’t. My fingers shook as I reached for my phone, pulling it towards me with a deep, unexplainable sense of dread in my chest.The screen lit up, and my heart sank when I saw the string of notifications.

The glint of gold was almost too tempting.“Another round for the whole damn bar,” I said to the bartender, flashing the card with a grin. He raised an eyebrow at me, but when he saw the card, he nodded without hesitation.Zane, standing next to me, looked like she’d just seen me steal a diamond. “Wait a minute. You’re really doing this?”I shrugged, leaning against the bar, watching the bartender start pouring shots and cocktails for anyone within arm's reach. “Why not? It’s a night to remember, right?”Zane was still staring at me, her head tilted like she was trying to figure me out. “You don’t strike me as the type to throw around money for no reason.”I chuckled darkly, grabbing the drink the bartender slid my way. “It’s not about the money. It’s about the moment.”Her eyes narrowed, a smirk playing at the corner of her

My hands were shoved deep into the pockets of my jacket, the bitterness of the evening biting through the fabric. I could still hear the faint sounds of laughter and clinking glasses from the dining room, but I couldn’t stay there. Not with him in there, with her sitting so close to him.I should’ve left sooner. I should’ve known it would eat me alive, but no. I had to watch it unfold. Feya, sitting beside Alpha Blake, all radiant and doe-eyed. It’s like she didn’t even see me anymore. She didn’t see the bond we had, didn’t care about the things we had shared. She was lost in the idea of him. And that hurt. It hit harder than I wanted to admit.I gritted my teeth and shoved the thoughts aside. No. I wasn’t going to let this mess with me. Not tonight. Not anymore.I pulled out my phone, tapping on the contact I had been avoiding for far too long. Zane. The only one who

It was the kind of dinner that had always been meticulously planned by my father—a display of power and status. Tonight, though, it felt different. Tonight, the guest of honor wasn’t just some high-ranking pack member; it was Alpha Blake.I had barely slept, and my mind had been racing ever since I’d heard the announcement. Alpha Blake would be here tonight. I had never been more excited. And why wouldn’t I be? He was everything. Charismatic, powerful, magnetic. When I’d seen him just once before, he’d looked at me like I was the only person in the room. That look, that energy, had stayed with me.Killian, on the other hand, was a storm cloud in the distance. He was seething. His anger had only intensified the moment he’d heard the news. I could feel it, the heavy tension that had thickened the air between us. The way he kept avoiding my gaze, the

    Killian’s POVI gripped the steering wheel tighter than necessary as I drove Feya back to the pack house. The silence between us was almost suffocating, but I could sense something in her that had shifted. She’d been more energetic than I expected when we went shopping—practically bouncing through the aisles like a child, her excitement impossible to miss. It was like she was on cloud nine, and for some reason, that made my chest tighten in a way I couldn’t quite explain.I stole glances at her as we drove, noticing how her smile seemed to linger long after we left the shop, how her fingers gently grazed the bags as if she were holding something precious. But the closer we got to the pack house, the more I began to wonder what was really going on inside her head. She hadn’t said much since we left the store, only occasionally looking out the window, lost in her thoughts.The tension was building in the pit of my stomach, gnawing at me. I wanted to ask her what had her so happy, but so

    Feya's POVThe hum of chatter from the workers drifted to my ears as I stepped into the hallway. At first, it was just the usual buzz, the mundane talk of everyday chores, but then I caught something that made my heart skip a beat. I lingered on the top step, letting the voices of the two workers below seep into my mind."Did you hear? Alpha Blake's coming back to the pack tomorrow," one of them said, her voice a little too light, too excited.I leaned against the railing, my fingers gripping the wood just a little too tightly, but I couldn't stop myself from feeling the rush of anticipation that surged through me at the mere mention of his name. Alpha Blake. I smiled, trying to mask the flutters in my chest, but the other worker’s response soon wiped the grin off my face."I know, I heard. He's my crush too," she said with a giggle.My breath hitched, a knot tightening in my stomach. I couldn’t have heard that right. She couldn’t be serious. I clenched my jaw, fighting to keep my com

    Feya’s POVI heard my father’s voice reverberating through the walls, his words still searing through my thoughts. The echo of his anger seemed to crawl under my skin, a constant reminder of how I could never get things right, never be enough. I didn’t have the energy to face him again, to hear him tell me how I was a disappointment, how I failed him, how I failed everyone.I couldn’t breathe with his voice hanging in the air, so I did what I always did when I wanted to escape: I walked. My feet carried me down the hall, though I didn’t have anywhere in mind. Just somewhere away from the heaviness of this house, away from my father’s rage.I ended up in the living room, standing by the window, staring out at the empty yard. The air was stale, and the mansion felt suffocating, cold even though it was summer. I felt cold. And that’s when I spotted it: the landline sitting on the side table.It was a relic, an old lifeline I hadn’t used in ages, but right now it felt like the only thing

    Feya’s POVI stood at the balcony, my arms crossed tightly against my chest, watching them from a distance. There they were—Killian and Zane—sitting together on that bench in the garden, like some perfect pair, laughing, talking. His laughter, a sound that used to feel like home, now grated against my nerves like sandpaper. The way Zane lounged against him, as if it was normal for them to be so close, so comfortable.I couldn’t take it. My stomach churned. I hated seeing them together like that. Especially with Zane. I really don’t like her. The thought echoed in my mind like a mantra. I hissed several times under my breath, the anger bubbling beneath my skin, like a hot wire I couldn’t control.I felt so exposed standing here, but I couldn’t move. I couldn’t tear my eyes away. I should’ve been used to it, used to the way she always managed to slip into places she didn’t belong. But I wasn’t."Why are you snickering, Feya?"The voice came from behind me, cutting through my thoughts. I

Her gaze was teasing, but there was an underlying seriousness behind it."What was that for?" I hissed, shooting her an irritated look.Zane didn’t seem to care much, her lips curving into a playful smirk. "You weren’t listening to me," she replied, her tone light and carefree, though I could hear a hint of concern buried in it. She tilted her head back, eyes searching the sky above us.I grunted, rubbing my thigh absently. "What were you saying again?"Her expression softened as she settled back into a more comfortable position on my legs. “I asked if you’ve settled your issues with Feya. Both of you are siblings, you don’t have to keep dancing around each other like this."I sighed, the weight of her words sinking deeper into my chest. The truth was, I hadn't settled anything. I hadn’t even been able to look her in the eyes
