Dear readers,finally a new chapter.What do you think of this new turn?Who owns the mysterious pendant?
CASPIAN'S POVI woke up the next day to find Tamsyn peacefully sleeping in my arms. She looked like an angel lying there. A smile formed on my lips.The full moon may have taken us by surprise, but it seemed to be a blessing in disguise. Not only did Tamsyn come to me, but she had also surrendered herself to me. Although she wasn't ready to be marked, it hadn't stopped us from discovering each other.Knowing that the full moon's effect on us was very strong and that any penetration would lead to marking, we focused solely on pleasuring each other.She stirred, murmured something inaudible, and went back to sleeping. How beautifully the goddess had created my mate!Lying with her back to me, I could feel a sense of warmth and peace radiating from her. Her beautiful hair was scattered on the pillow.I moved closer, my nose settling at the base of her slender, pale neck. Breathing in her scent, I felt content. This was the most beautiful moment of my life.If only I could stay there with
**TAMSYN'S POV**I stopped in front of the huge glass door to our bedroom. I could feel my cousins' worries through the now-opened bond. Taking a moment to think about what to tell my siblings, I tried to smooth my ruffled hair. *It's time to tell them the truth about our mate,* Mina, my wolf, interrupted."Do I really have to tell them?" I pondered.*Remember that we never hid anything from each other,* she warned me."I am just... not ready, you know," I replied hesitantly.*You have to, little human,* she insisted before going silent again.Releasing a sigh, I pushed the door open. As expected, they awaited my arrival. The room was in disarray."Goddess, I was prepared to break into his room if you didn't show up in 30 minutes," Arden said, his eyes filled with relief. He had puffy eyes, suggesting he might not have slept much. The twins sat on the bed, and Novalia stood in the corner of the room. Cruz and Arden were both standing in the middle of the room. I walked up to them.
**CASPIAN'S POV**I stared at the files before me. Something was just off about the entries and exits from the pack. The number of people with identities of visitors registered within the pack was far greater than those registered at the entry gates. This meant the registers of visitors at the northern and southern gates were falsified.Many people had entry permits for the southern gate, yet most of their names weren't found on the registers for that gate.*Another shady business is going on in our pack. It's not just the kidnapping of our pups. Something I can't quite place my finger on is happening. The increase in visitors makes it easy to overlook our pack members' disappearances,* Delius remarked. *Also, what if something else is being smuggled in and out of the pack?* he asked after a moment.I could feel his worry, and that made me nervous.I continued reading the files and gasped, realizing the number of visitors for the current month."Why the sudden increase in visitors to
**TAMSYN'S POV.After closing the mate bond, I released a shaky breath and sank onto the gym floor, where I had been practicing with my cousins just moments ago. I had convinced them to stay and finish the mission, but I could still feel their lingering resentment. How could I tell them about Caspian when none of us acknowledged the bond?My mind drifted to my mate. Caspian had an inexplicable effect on me. Whenever he was near, I lost focus. Now that the mate bond was open and we could share thoughts, his presence destabilized me more than ever.I recalled our recent conversation. I had managed to persuade Caspian to give me time to explore our bond. I was undeniably attracted to him, yet I hesitated to accept mating. The reason was clear: I had to find my parents' murderer.*But our mate is one of the most feared alphas among werewolves. Mating him isn't a bad thing; he can protect us in our quest for revenge,* Mina chimed in, breaking through my thoughts.I closed my eyes, frustrat
CASPIAN'S POVI sat in my study, waiting for my mate to arrive for the border inspection. She hadn’t reached out since our last conversation, and a pang of hurt settled in my chest. Yet, another part of me insisted she was simply busy. Maybe it was better to let her focus on her work.*After all, we’ll be meeting tonight, so there’s no need to worry too much,* Delius, my wolf, reassured me.I released a breath I didn’t realize I was holding and turned my attention back to my work. I clung to a flicker of hope that tonight would bring some clue—anything that might change the course of our case.“Alpha, the witches of the White Wing clans are here to check on your father,” Aslan’s voice echoed through the mind link.“They’re here already?” I pondered, recalling the wolf messenger I had sent just the day before. Their early arrival surprised me.*The sooner you deal with the problem, the sooner Mom will stop complaining about us not caring for Father,* Delius pointed out.My fingers tap
TAMSYN'S POVSitting on my messy bed, I couldn't stop thinking about Novalia. I struggled to understand her attraction to the mysterious Eric. He had no scent and seemed to vanish into thin air whenever I tried to track him. Each time I brought it up, Novalia would get mad and storm off, her focus drifting from our mission. What could I do to help her?*For now, we’ll just observe and see how things go. Get ready; we have to meet our mate tonight,* Mina urged, her tone impatient.“Are you still going for border inspection with the Alpha?” Arden asked, pulling me from my thoughts. Finally, he was breaking the silence.“Yes. He believes he’ll find clues for our case,” I replied, relieved he was finally speaking to me. I stood up and attempted to tidy the chaotic room.“Do you want me to come?” he offered, moving to help me clean.“If you’re okay with it, then why not? We’re collecting clues, remember?” I said, surprised by his proposal.A long silence followed as we fumbled around, orga
TAMSYN'S POV Seven years ago I sat on the ground of a place not far from our pack observing my cousins as they played together in their wolf forms. Lily and Rose were our beta's children.Novalia was the gammas daughter and then Cruz who was my another cousin.They were my cousins because only my parents close family members were selected by the goddess to help in leading the pack. As usual, we after our warrior training to have fun. The Sun was high in the sky with birds chirping and it was my usual day of fun but I felt worried. As the daughter of the alpha, I was used to training from four a.m. to nine a.m.But today Mom had asked me to stop training by seven. Unexpectedly ,she asked me to go play. My gut told me something was wrong. My doubt was confirmed when moments later my bestie and another cousin of mine : Arden came running our way all sweaty. His blond hair stucked to his face and he was breathing heavily.My sharp wolf's hearing sense could hear his heart beating faste
CASPIAN'S POV «Caspian?I will never forgive nor forget the fact that you were present but you didn't save me."my brother Atticus said.Standing in front of me in his younger version,his pale lips twisted evilly. “But what If I couldn't Atti? What if I tried but I couldn't?"My younger version pleaded. “It doesn't matter anymore. It's in the past." he roared and I shivered. “But if it is all in the past then why can't you forget?" my younger self pleaded. " I will have forgotten if it was someone else but you Caspian, you are my blood. Reason why,I can't forget, and believe me brother you have to pay."he finished in a cold voice. His laughter reverberated while he disappeared. A chill traveled down my spine and I opened my eyes only to realize, I was having my usual nightmare. It was just a nightmare but less scary than others. My name is Caspian di Luca, Alpha of the 'Rising Stars pack'. My parents Ashton and Katana di Luca are known for their unique skills with sword fighting.

TAMSYN'S POVOnce Caspian was carried to his chambers, I tried my best to calm down but it wasn't working. Tired of passing around in the pack house gym, I finally went out to look for Aslan or Nolan to hear from them as to what could have possibly happened to my mate.I didn't have to far before meeting Aslan who headed my way with a smile;"What is wrong with your Alpha? Why did he suddenly faint?"I asked as soon as I stood before him."I don't know what to say. He is not feeling well," he replied hesitantly his eyes never meeting mine.Silence enveloped us as I tried to calm down my erratic breathing. My heart was racing faster than ever. Was it Capian's situation or something else was wrong?"Are you ok Miss Tamsyn? You are pale," Alan asked his voice full of concern. How to explain to him that his alpha's situation was terrifying me?"Can I see your Alpha?"I asked avoiding his question."I don't think it would be possible because he is not well and I doubt he would be able to talk
CASPIAN'S POV Walking to the dungeon with my mate in front of me, I felt happier than I could ever be. Her hair dangled to the rhythm of the gentle breeze. I felt the need to keep my fingers in those beautiful brown tangles. "Why is it that every time we walk around no one wants to stare at you? Everybody seems so afraid of you," she asked stopping to stare at me as I joined her. "I am their alpha and of course, they have to respect me, "I replied ignoring the dark stare she gave me. "Are you sure about that?" she queried and I nodded positively. A moment of silence went by before she finally told me what was on her mind: "I heard you killed many of your assistants just because they didn't do the work well or if you wanted them and they refused, then you killed them," "Luna! Tamsyn !"I groaned hearing what rumors about me. If someone else had said it, I wouldn't have protested but in the case of Tamsyn, it didn't sit well with me. I could feel anger rising in my veins.
TAMSYN'S POV I went to sleep as soon as the door to our bedroom was closed. My cousins were all sleeping, and I wondered where they could have been when I was leaving this room for the gym. I didn't immediately fall asleep as my heart was still racing. Caspian's declaration had put me in all my states. Was he really serious about giving us a chance to bond? What about my mission? "but he said you could only achieve your objectives if you work together right? Which means that you are not the only one the bond has been affecting but him too."my wolf inserted. 'Girl, what are you saying? I cannot tell him about my family and my pack remember, "I asked and it was a long moment before she finally spoke to me. 'Tamsyn, this is your mate we are talking about here. Which means your destinies are intertwined. You want to avenge our parent's death, and I am happy to help but remember that one day when you have confidence enough in him, you have no choice but to tell him. He is a part of
