Elsa's POV:I keep running as fast as my legs carry me, my heart pounding. I see Dennis finally change into his wolf and run with Damian.Satisfied, I looked away and continued to run, ensuring that every one of Caspian's packs was hot on my heels. Their growls and snarls fill the forest.“Split up!” I hear one of them shout. “Oh no,” I mutter as I keep running. They couldn't split up now. “Anyone who captures her gets a reward!” The same voice yells, and I quicken my pace. I summon my wolf as I move to the left, narrowly avoiding a trap hole and some snapping jaws. Caspian's pack was very close to my trail. I keep dodging the werewolves easily as I scramble through the bushes. “Surround her!” I hear Caspian yell.I listen to my wolf senses, letting them guide me through the paths. Suddenly, a werewolf leaps from the shadows, tackling me to the ground. How did I not sense him?His weight hard on me as I struggle. His grip strong and not breaking.“Gotcha Luna. Now, I can have my
Damian's POVI run alongside Elsa, our pack following closely behind. We continue running through the forest trees, paws pounding against the earth. Elsa finally transformed into her wolf form, her wolf larger and leading the way.We run together out of Hector's territory, and his pack closely chases behind. Elsa's wolf is leading the way. Her smell is a distracting scent of sweat and blood. I see Pheona's wolf waiting at the entrance as we approach our castle. Elsa howls, and we follow. The security guard opens the gate, and our pack pours in.I begin to search after I have gotten in to see Elsa's wolf, who is not by my side. Where was she? I turn around to see her outside the gate. My heart beats when I notice Hector's huge wolf coming for her. She slid in the gate before it was shut, and Hector's angry growl followed. He had almost broken the rule of not crossing one's territory.Elsa transforms into her human form, and fresh clothes are immediately given to her. She quickly dre
Damian’s POV:He laughs, his voice taunting and annoying to my ears."You're just in time to witness the beginning of the end," he sneers.My grip on the dagger tightens."It's over," I snarl.Caspian chuckles. "I doubt that, pretty boy.”Caspian growls, his eyes glowing, and attacks, and in one swift movement, I swing the knife at him. The sharp blade slashing with the light of the moon.“Damian,” a faint voice calls, distracting me. “Damian,” the voice comes again, but louder this time. “Damian,” I hear the voice call me. “Dennis,” I whisper, my voice breaking and suddenly the dark room turns into the passageway to my chambers.I glance at the flame, standing in confusion as the figure behind me comes forward, revealing Dennis.“Are you okay?” He asks I look at him and back at my door. Dennis walks closer to me and places his hand on my shoulder.I look down at the dagger in my hand, and fear rushes through my body.“Remember, Hector is coming for you. All of you, Damian. There'
Damian's POV: The servants leave as I finish my bath and wear the clothes laid on the bed. I zip up my pants, feeling refreshed after the warm bath. As I put my shirt over my head, my eyes catch the claw mark on my hand. I stare at it in surprise.It hasn't fully healed.I've never had wounds take this long to heal before. I touch the mark, and it stings."What's going on?" I mutter to myself.Groaning, I realize the pain is a new thing, too. I start feeling dizzy, and my temperature rises, making me feel hot. I wipe the sweat off my forehead with the back of my hand. The heat keeps making me thirsty, and my throat burns. I rush to the table, stumbling as my hand lands on the top of the wooden furniture. I grab the cup of water, my hand shaking wildly.I quickly drink the water in one gulp, feeling the cold liquid calm my parched throat. I rush to the bathtub, my head spinning as I kneel and push my head deep into the cold water for a few seconds. My eyes glow as my wolf senses he
Elsa's POV:Why would anyone give him Wolfsbane? It was deadly to our kind.I hear footsteps coming, and I scream louder. “Someone, help!” The first steps get closer, running into the room. I look up to see Dennis and four men with teary eyes. “Help me,” I beg, my voice low. They do as they are told, quickly lifting him to the castle's physician. “Get the healers. All of them!” I command the maid standing by the door. She dashes like a madman as I fasten my pace, following Dennis.In an instant, we make our way to the infirmary. “Where's the healer?” I ask my voice loud and trembling. The guards walk in with the healer. He quickly moves to Damian and starts to examine him. “My goodness, he's been poisoned,” The healer says, and I nod. “I know. He told me before he collapsed. Please, do something. You need to save him,” I beg. “You'll be greatly rewarded. Nurse my friend to health, please,” I hear Dennis plead and the healer turns to the guard standing close to me. “You!” He
Damian's POVI can feel my heart beating slowly as I hear Elsa’s voice call out to me, but I can't answer her.I lose hold of my body, and I feel the life force drain from me. Elsa keeps calling me, and I feel the pressure on my chest. My eyes open slowly, and I see Elsa's puffy eyes and tear-stained face. She smiles at me, and I return the smile weakly. “Elsa,” I say in a weak voice, my throat dry.“You're awake,” she says softly, her hand caressing my cheek. I feel her hand reach for mine, raising it to her cheek. I feel her skin, soft and warm, against my fingers. Her face turns serious, and she faces the others. “Get every available man and start a hunt,” I demand, my voice firm. “I want to know who did this to Damian.”Dennis nods, his expression grim. “We'll find them, Elsa.”I see the guards scatter quickly, eager to begin the hunt.Dennis remains, looks at me, and softly speaks. “Do you need me to go, Luna?” He asks.“No, please stay,” Elsa replies, looking at him.I smile
Damian's POVThe maid keeps running down the hallway, and I chase her. My heart is racing as I know I can't lose sight of her. She turns swiftly to the corner, and her figure disappears. I quicken my pace. “Damian, wait! You're not healed!” I hear Elsa yell.My senses become blurry, and I keep running, following my instincts. There's no way she's escaping me. I must find her. “Damian!” I hear Elsa's faint voice before I disappear into the dark corner of the alley. My wolf growls, and I keep running, focusing on catching the maid. The effects of the remaining poison, which hadn't left my body, begin to kick in, and my head bangs harder. I groan, holding my head as I fall to the wall. I didn't let the seconds slip by, as I continue to search for her. the healer's warning echoing repeatedly in my head, disturbing my sight. I shake my head, clearing my thoughts for a while before I continue my pursuit. I walk into a scanty and clear open area, but it immediately turns dark as I enter
Elsa's POV:I run after Damian, but he is too fast. “Damian!” I call out to him, but he turns into a corner and disappears.I rush to the spot and can't find him anymore. I look around. Wasn't he here a few seconds ago? Where did he go? What's happening? “Damian!” I yell again, but silence greets me. “No,” I mouth, and I continue to search for him. I run through the passageway, ignoring the looks of the servants and guards. I have to find him; the poison is still in his system, and if he strains longer, he will hurt himself. “Damian, you stubborn rascal,” I say under my breath, still searching for him. My chest heaves as I pant; where could he be? I close my eyes, searching with my senses, but still, nothing comes up. I keep trying, and I'm not ready to give up. My eyes pick up a noise. It's coming from the abandoned tavern. I hear a faint groan and a slash of wind. “Damian!” I whisper and open my eyes.I rush into the abandoned tavern, my heart racing with fear. "Damian!" I y
Caspian's POV It's been days since I was locked up and Alpha Hector haven't made a move yet. I need to leave. Finding the ancient stone was my goal but not while I am confined in the dungeon. "Hey!" I called out to one of the guards. "Get the alpha over here. Why is he keeping me here?" I yelled out, letting my anger take control. They only stared at me but said nothing. I grunted and moved back. It was hard to escape as the guards were tripled.I heard the Luna of the crescent moon pack, Elsa, came to the pack and had escaped after been locked in. The guard new chief was been careful and tripled the guards. Elsa ruined everything. If only she didn't escape, the guards wouldn't be tripled and it would have been easier to fight off two or three guards and leave. "Damn it!" I yelled and faced them again. "I won't let this go. I will surely make you all pay for locking me up," I vowed and punched the wall. "Calm down, Caspian," Marcus said in my head. "How can I calm down? We are
Damien's POV I was devastated as well as Dennis and the rest of the Pack Members as we had our Luna slipped right under our noses in broad daylight.It's something I still feel terrible for, I am to blame for her Kidnap, I wished I had Perceived it right before it happened, we wouldn't have our asses busted up this way.How could I not have figured it out after I saw a spy saw us earlier while we were having our council meeting, it's such a shame it happened right under my nose without having the chance to protect Elsa before all this had happened. I probably wouldn't have dragged her inside to have a conversation with her, with Elsa believing I had kept a secret from her and I'm her best friend, why does she think I'm going to be hiding things from her when she knows that I love her and will do everything right to avoid not been hurt by anyone.I do not know what to think right now, it's probably going to be Hector that wants her life after we ruined his pack and got
Elsa's POV: In a second I was with Damien and the rest of the pack, If I could remember in a council meeting too and another minute I'm in the middle of nowhere tied up having zero idea of how I got there.I was crying bitterly inside of me as I wondered how the hell I got here in the first place and now I have to battle with my claustrophobia.My hands were tied with a very strong rope that have wolfsbane potion on it, and it's definitely killing me, as it draws my strength leaner every second that I breathe. My head’s spinning like some hurricane is blowing inside of it. I kept on struggling with the ropes used to tie my back as the wolfsbane was weakening my a, I battled so hard to deal with that as my strength drew leaner my breath grew thinner too. Oh!!I know who is behind this as I keep on talking in my mind in my silent thoughts. I am sure it’s Hector, he is probably up to something and I’m sure he wants me dead and also, first and foremost wants my own pack, to rule it for
Damien's POV I went after him but before I got out, he had gone. There was no sight of him. The secret opening led to an open field which was outside the pack. I looked around but no one was around."Damn it, I missed him," I muttered and rubbed my temple in frustration..If only I had come out faster, I would have seen where he went through and also know if he has an accomplice or not. I growled in frustration and went back in. Hy the time I got to the courtyard, they were done with the meeting and Elsa had left. "Where is the Luna?" I asked Dennis who was speaking to a member of the council. "Where did you disappear to? Your attention was needed at some point," he said, ignoring my question. I drew my brows and asked, "Why? Did something happened? Was there a different discussion?"He shook his head and faced me. "It's nothing to be worried about. The council just had a few questions because you were the one who went to rescue the Luna," he answered. "Where is she now?" I ask
Damien's POVI had no idea Elsa would find out soon enough. And just as I thought it would, it broke her down. I tried to explain but she was too hurt and angry to listen. After she left for her room, I faced Camile who bowed her, feeling bad for her. "What really happened our there?" I asked."We had no idea what was happening so when we got to the market, we saw a few people around which was unusual. We went closer to ask and this woman began to insult the luna blaming her for what happened and she called her incompetent," she explained which made me understand why Elsa reacted that way. I let out a deep breath and rubbed my neck in frustration. "Damn it," I cursed under my breath. "I need to speak to her."I made to move but Dennis held me back, "Get needs her space. You were the one who stopped Camille, remember? You can't speak to her now."I sighed in frustration and moved my hair back. She was all alone, wallowing in sorrow from what the woman said.I nodded and walked back
Elsa's POVI stood motionless, as her words got registered in my head. Camille hurried to me and stood behind me. "Let's go," she said and tried to take me out but I pulled my hand from hers and faced the old woman."What are you talking about? What is going on?" I asked and she scoffed. "You are pretending not to know. The news is all over and just have reached your ears huf you don't know what to do," she answered with irritation lacing her voice. "It's because of you Hector is trying to attach again."Camille arched her brows and faced her. "What do you mean? How dare you accuse the Luna?""Am I wrong? You should tell her the truth since you both are close," she answered and looked at me again. "Yu are not fit to be the leader.""That's enough! How dare you say such a thing like that? Have you forgotten everything the Luna has done for the growth and progress of this pack?" Camille asked, getting pissed off. "Of what use is it? Hector would attack us now and all those things wou
Elsa's POVThe day was going stressful more than I could imagine, but, a good thing happened, which was Melinda gaining her consciousness. I excused myself and went back to my room to get a special herb I had reserved. A herb that help relieve any pain, but getting back there, I heard Damien's voice but I couldn't figure out what he was saying. Knowing they were together made my heart skipped a beat. I know I shouldn't feel this way as I should be bothered about Melinda, but I couldn't help the feeling. I swallowed hard and went on to the room but almost bumped into Damien who came out at the same time. He was taken aback at first but suddenly held my hand and went to his room. At that moment, the feeling i had disappeared and was replaced with satisfaction of him being code to me. I thought about his suggestion to leave the pack for some days and go to a place where we could relax. I wanted to scream yes, as I imagined what it would be like, with just the both of us together in
Damien's povIt was a huge relieve for everyone seeing Melinda awake. She was able to defeat that man and got out. That meant, he had gone out of Caspian's body, but I had no idea if Caspian was alive. It would be a huge relieve for us if he dies. But, Melinda was acting arrogant and that got me pissed off. Everyone of us risked our lives for her, especially Elsa who went as far as going into the enemy's territory just to get the cure. Elsa was still trying her best to keep her calm while telling us she was just frightened, but she wasn't ready to calm down. Finally, she did but the doctor said she lost her voice which was sacrificed for using her dark magic. Everyone left the room, leaving me behind. It was an opportunity to ask about Marcus without anyone hearing us. I wanted to know more about him and handle him myself. I stepped closer and sat beside her. "What happened to the man you faced?" I asked, staring at her. "I am talking about Marcus. Nod your head if he died."Sh
Melinda's POV I gasped out, and began to pant heavily. I was sweating and my heart was thumping against my ribcage. My memory seemed blank and it felt as if I was floating on thin air. "Melinda?" I heard someone called me, but the voice seemed distant. "Melinda, can you hear me?" The voice called out to me again and shook me. I gasped out again and batted my lashes, getting my blurry view clear. I felt a hand in my cheek and I shivered in fright. "Melinda, wake up. We are safe now," the voice said again. I blinked and my gaze fell on Damien, who was seating beside me. Yes Damien, behind him was the Luna, Dennis was standing beside, and Camille.I remembered everything. I remembered their names and their faces. I was locked in the spiritual realm but I somehow survived. I faced the Marcus and I think I was able to use my dark magic a bit, although, the memory wasn't clear enough. Camille walked closer and helped me seat well. "Are you alright?" The Luna asked, staring at me wi
