Alpha Harold’s pov;The emergency council meeting had already begun by the time I entered, the murmurs and tension filling the grand hall like a thunderstorm waiting to break. Every elder was seated, their faces etched with disapproval, and a few dared to exchange uneasy glances as I made my way to
Alpha Ryder’s pov;Meanwhile back in Darken ville pack…..When I saw her at the birthday party, something deep within me stirred, a warm fuzzy feeling…love.She looked so beautiful. I never thought it was possible for one to look so beautiful.Since she had survived the full moon encounter fir the s
“You don’t know that. Maybe she wants to be there,” Heather challenged, though I saw the doubt in her eyes.“Well…”“So if you’re thinking of going back for her, then forget about it! Besides, you think she’d want you giving hoe much you hurt her?”“Harold hurt her too!”“And she’s with him! That’s
The elders exchanged uneasy glances. Finally, Elder Mara spoke. “We’re not suggesting that, necessarily. But it’s clear Harold sees value in her, and if we lose her to him, we may never understand the full potential of her abilities.”I clenched my jaw, feeling trapped. “You’re telling me to undo a
Heather’s pov;The cold breeze whipped around me as I paced outside the council building, each step churning with anger, each second filled with dread. Ryder had been so distant, so different. And in that gap, suspicions had crept in, whispering things I could hardly bring myself to believe.But tod

“Happy Anniversary!” Everyone in the room yelled as soon as they walked inside.“Aunt Queen!” Little Noreen ran towards Queen Noreen and She held her mid ways, hugging her. She was going to be three years in two months, but she was so smart that Noreen used to tell Candace that it was because she wa
Epilogue;Third person’s pov;Epilogue;Third person Pov;Three years laterAlpha king Harold and Queen Noreen both flung the covers over their heads and giggled as they breathed hard.“That was amazing,” She breathed out and giggled as she gazed into his eyes.“Don’t look at me like that.““Why?”“
“How touching,” I sneered, taking a slow step closer.Harold pulled her closer, away from me.“The dutiful mate protecting her cursed Alpha. Tell me, Noreen, does it feel good to play queen?”She didn’t reply. Instead, she clenched her fist tightly. “Leave now, Ian, while you still can.”I chuckled
Ian’s pov;I hadn’t heard from my mother in a long time, which was weird, considering the fact that we’ve been exchanging letters for a while now.I was glad that she understood me, glad that she had even helped me secretely.I was surprised when I heard that she was responsible for what happened t
Ian chuckled darkly as his eyes gleamed with hatred. "I’ve spent too long in your shadows, watching you take everything that should’ve been mine. The pack, the throne... even her." His gaze lingered on me and he smiled. I felt a wave of disgust. "You’ll never have any of it," Harold snapped. "Your
Noreen’s pov;The Name day and My coronation ceremony were moved to a later date and it was then that the Alpha revealed to me that he had seen a sorcerer who could break the hex, we didn’t need Ian to do that.We both agreed to have the both ceremonies after the curse had been broken, that way, it
There was also the precision with which it was executed... this wasn’t random. Someone inside the mansion had done this. Someone close to us. But who?Then my mind went back to the night I had seen someone who looked like Ian slip out of the Queen’s room.The thought that she could have been resp
Alpha Harold’s pov;I could hear the music from downstairs and could imagine the excitement on everyone’s faces. It was my son’s name day and although I couldn’t be there, I was celebrating on my own.I had promised Noreen that I was going to celebrate on my own, with a glass of wine and that was ex
