SNOW Roman pulled Liam off him, and flung him against the wall. Liam hit the wall with a loud thud, and I was sure that a few bones in his body were broken. I gasped, unsure of what to do or say. Roman had come to save me, and I was thankful for that. But what was he going to do with Liam? Roman approached Liam, a cold look in his eyes. "Your Majesty....this is a misunderstanding. I was just arguing with my sister and things got heated. I..." Liam did not get to finish his words. Roman grabbed his neck and started to choke him. I had never seen Roman look like that in his life. He looked like he really wanted to kill Liam there and then. "How dare you touch my mate, Liam? Are you tired of living?" Even his voice had changed, it was deeper and more dangerous, and it carried Roman's killing intent. Liam shook his head, as he looked at me pitifully, I could only shake my head and cry. "I think, you're really tired of living, Liam. Why don't we put an end to it here and now?"
LIAMShow's eyes shone with curiosity, and I knew that she was waiting for me to tell her how I knew she was a hybrid. But.....I was not going to do that. I smirked evilly, taking in the panicked look on her face. I suddenly felt fulfilled seeing her like this. She had been away from me and I had not been able to touch her because of Roman ....But, there were other ways for me to torture her. Yes, I could use other methods. Sneering at her, I shook my head. "You really want me to tell you? Well, I won't. You can stay here, thinking about how I know, and how many other people to know about this!" I knew my words would affect her. Snow would spend the rest of her days worrying about how many people knew what she was and what would happen to her once the truth about her was revealed. It made me extremely happy, thinking about how she would not be having a good time. Although I could not hurt her, I could still mess with her head. Snow looked at me, her gaze holding a lot of hate
SNOWI had no idea how much time had passed but when I looked up again, the sky was already getting dark. Sighing, I stood up from the bed. I was feeling suffocated, and I felt like I would go crazy if I continued to think about what Liam had said. He refused to tell me how he knew I was a hybrid, and since Liam knew, then they were definitely other people who knew. My whole world was crashing in front of me and there was nothing I could do about it. Sooner or later, the Elders back in Valerie would find out that I am a hybrid .I would be kicked out of there, and since I had already broken my ties with Midnight Pack, I would become a rogue, wandering around without a place to go. There was no possibility of me surviving as a rogue. I would be dead in no time...I shuddered at the thought of that. My life was about to be worse than when Roman found me. The thought of telling Roman about this, flashed past my mind. But I decided after it in a second. If I told Roman now ..he wo
SNOWI looked at Sheila, shocked. That was the man she was supposed to be married to....her mate. Did she not care that he was cheating on her?!She maintained the unbothered look on her face, and I could not help but shudder when I realised just how cold she was."Liam is the Alpha. He can do whatever he wants," Sheila paused for a bit, then she chuckled coldly. "I guess, I have to be thankful that he thought I was good enough to be his Luna," there seemed to be a sense of resignation in her voice, and I could not help but feel sorry for her. I knew what it felt like to be stuck in a bad situation, unable to get out and unable to do anything about it. I felt really sorry for her ..there was no reason she should have to live this way. "You....don't want to be his Luna?" I signed, grateful that I could communicate with her despite my disability. Sheila smiled, however the sadness was still present in her eyes. "Becoming Liam's Luna.....I don't think I have a choice here," she sai
ROMANBacking away from Snow slowly, I almost let the anger that I was feeling consume me. But I didn't want to fight with her, not here. I didn't want to fight with her at all. I needed her to be in love with me, and although things had been going quite well these past few weeks, she seemed to be on edge as soon as we got here. "I was just worried about you, you know. I don't want you to be hurt by Liam," I said, as my jaw tightened. The image of him trying to force himself on her was forever seared in my head, and I really wanted to kill Liam once and for all. But then, it would make Snow uncomfortable. Besides, she was right. If I did anything to Liam, it would not sit well with the Elders. They could not do anything to me though and so of course they would find a way to blame it all on Snow. I didn't want her to go through that. Taking a deep breath, I took a few steps away from her. "You should take a rest, we will talk when you've calmed down, " I said and walked out,
Snow’s P.O.V I hear them. My parents screaming. Their agony is raw and clear as their screams rip through the air. I try to move, to run to them, but my legs won’t work. They feel like they’re made of stone. I reach out my hands to them, but all I can do is watch, frozen and helpless as the black rogues tear into them. The sound of ripping flesh, the blood that splatters the ground–it’s too much, too loud, too real. I wanted to scream too. Help! Help! Help! My lips formed the words but not a single sound escaped. Hel– A sudden splash of cold water dragged me from my nightmare, and back to reality. My body jerked awake, and I snapped my eyes open, looking around me like a wild animal, panting as my chest rose and fell. I was not in the forest. No, I was in the same room under the stairs of the pack house, where I’ve always been–forgotten and unwanted. It would have been pitch dark here if not for the thin sliver of light seeping through the floorboards above. The walls of my r
I ran. I ran as if my legs were breaking, like the earth itself would open up and swallow me whole if I stopped. Each heavy breath set my lungs on fire,, but I didn’t care. I just needed to get away from all of them.The memory of his cruel laughter echoed in my head as I whipped past branches. My own brother. He’d watched. He’d let them touch me…and this wasn’t the first time.My chest heaved when I finally reached the stream, collasping my rubber knees in the shallow water. The icy current bit into my flesh, but it wasn’t enough. I needed to scrub it off. All of it. The filth. The shame. The hands that had groped me, the roughness of their touch still burning on my skin.I tore off my dress and threw it somewhere, probably on one of the rocks and clawed at my bare skin. The water swirled red but no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t wash away the disgust.My hands trembled as I splashed water over my face and into my mouth, choking back sobs as I spat it back out, mixed with the d
Snow's P.O.V Today was my birthday and not a single soul knew. To them it was just the big night of the mating ceremony and there was excitement in the air, so I closed my eyes and pretended the excitement was for me. Everyone was happy because it was my birthday. My fantasy was crushed soon by a slur thrown at me and I snapped my eyes back open, getting back to work– arranging chairs and scrubbing tables. Me and the other maids had arrived at the Hallow pack since yesterday and we’ve been busied by so many chores that most of them didn’t have the time to pick on me. Which was good. Hours later, I glanced up as the night fell and my lips curled into a big smile. The ceremony has begun.I quickly ran back into my room and changed into the white dress I'd brought with me. As I ran my hand over the dress, my eyes quickly filled up with tears, burning behind my lids. I couldn't believe it still smelt like her. if I closed my eyes, I could pretend she was right here, hugging me and

SNOW I sat still on the bed after Roman was gone, unsure of what I was supposed to do. I kept recalling all of the small incidents that had happened to me growing up in this pack. There was a guard who felt sorry for me, and who thought that the way the rest of the pack treated me was just cruel. He tried to make life easier for me, bringing me food and giving me bedsheets at night so I wouldn't freeze to death. However, when Liam found out about it, he had that guard executed in the cruelest way possible. Liam had sent a message to the rest of the pack, no one was supposed to help me. In fact, the people who were cruel to me the most got on the good side of my brother. Barbara only became the head maid at such a young age because she was cruel to me My brother wanted to reward her. I laughed bitterly as I thought of how outrageous all of this was . My own brother , the only family I had left, had rewarded the woman who tortured me the most. How could he?! I had
SNOWRoman sneered, his lip curling wickedly as he pinned his gaze on Liam like a predator sizing up his prey.“Keep your slaves away from my mate,” Roman said, his voice low, lethal. The threat beneath his words wasn’t subtle; it dripped from his tongue like poison.Liam’s jaw clenched, but he forced a smile. A politician’s smile.. “Of course, Your Majesty,” he replied smoothly, dipping his head in deference. “I wouldn’t dream of doing otherwise.”But I saw it.The flicker of resentment that crossed his face before he lowered his gaze. That cold gleam that told me if Roman weren’t standing right there, Liam wouldn’t be so agreeable.Roman’s hand tightened around mine as he turned to leave, pulling me along with him. I glanced over my shoulder just once. Liam still hadn’t moved. But Barbara… she had.She stepped closer to him, so close her shoulder brushed his arm. Their eyes met for a split second, and a look passed between themMy stomach twisted.What was going on between them?---
Snow's P.O.V"Welcome to our pack your Majesty! Due to the incident of the last time you were here, we worried you wouldn't accept our invitation and then we wouldn't be able to crown a Luna without the presence of the Lycan King. So we are g--" She rambled off, her words cutting off when she saw me. "What...?" she sputtered. "I had no idea you would be showing up with...with...her! We were prepared to receive just you alone."The midnight pack's maid, Barbara, was there to receive and from the shock in her eyes and her blatant outburst, she was expecting the king to show up with me. A lump formed in my throat, making it hard to breathe as the memories of the abuse she'd put me through all the time I spent in the pack. I instinctively moved back until I was hiding behind Roman, using him as a human shield against the pain that was Head Steward Barbara. She did nothing to hide the disdain she felt for me and the disgust was apparent as she sneered at me.Goddess, it made me feel so sma
ROMANA dark look settled on my face, as I tried to figure out what that bastard was up to. Liam sending a letter.....I believed that he was up to something. He was a cunning man and every move of his was carefully calculated for his own benefit. My eyes landed on the small woman in my arms, her entire countenance had changed when she heard her former pack's name. After everything that she had been through, I would not have expected anything less. I waved a hand, "what does the letter say?" I asked. I had no intentions of reading whatever Liam wrote. I just wanted to know what he wanted and get it over with. "Well, The Alpha of the midnight pack has invited you to his mating ceremony. Apparently, he has found his mate and he wants you to be there for the big mating festival," Lucas explained to me. "I can send a message and let him know that you won't be going," Lucas suggested as he observed the look on my face. Snow was also looking at me, both of them waiting for me to make
