Ember’s POV:

My throat clogged at his confession and I swallowed the lump in my throat. I bit my bottom lip and wrapped my arms around me in a protective manner, “Why are you making things so complicated?” I asked in a small voice.

His eyebrows drooped lower and his shoulders slouched as he whispered helplessly, “Is it that impossible for you to love me back? Do you really despise me to the point that you can’t even consider such a thing? What exactly have I ever done to deserve this much hatred from you?”

Tears prickled at the back of my eyes, “I don’t hate you, Damon." I paused and took a shuddering breath, " I don't wanna hurt you but…” I shook my head vigorously, “But I…I can’t do it. It's impossible.”

Another thunder growled in the sky, depicting Damon’s feelings and my turmoil. And then, all of a sudden, it started raining. Big, fat raindrops pattered on the ground.

Stealing one last glance at him, I turned around and started sprinting toward the castle. My mind was a chaotic mes

    Ember’s POV:Suffocation was a small word. I was feeling so constricted in my own body that it felt like the whole world was crashing into me.I was grateful that Damon did not follow me this time or I would have exploded with rage. Maybe he too was too shocked at the revelation to show any other reaction.Entering the main door, I sped past the hall and whipped around the corner. Reaching the staircase, I took two at a time. If Ms. Tacy had been there she must have scolded me that such manners didn’t belong to a Princess let alone the future Queen but at that moment, her validation was the least of my concerns.Keeping my pace fast, I ran through the corridors and didn’t slow down until I got to my private wing. It was only when I reached my bedroom did I stop.I was panting heavily as I grabbed the doorknob and kicked it open. Slamming the door behind me, I sauntered to the table and gulped down the glass of water in one sip.Flopping on the couch, I grabbed my head and took deep br

    Ember's POV:Damon already had his eyes glued to me, assessing me with careful eyes, maybe wondering what was going on in my mind.Now that I knew who he really was, my gaze couldn't stop roaming all over his face, taking in the familiar features of my mate. Sleek nose, high cheekbones, full lips...why didn't I catch it before?We kept staring at each other for the next few minutes, lost in our thoughts.And for the first time ever, Damon was the one to break the eye contact. Sliding his head to the other side, he stared at the distance.His eyes narrowed and the muscles in his jaw clenched. His face hardened but hurt flashed in his eyes as he stated tightly in a low voice, "You are his mate."There. He said it. And now the words were hanging between us like a thick barrier. His face contorted into disgust as he processed his own words, making them real.It wasn't a question. It was a statement. He was always of a sharp mind so I wasn't surprised that he put two and two together after

    Ember’s POV:Damon turned on his heels to face me and leaned his back against the pole. He heaved a heavy breath, “It wasn’t always like this. There was a time, long ago when we used to be close.” His lips pressed in a thin line as he shared what seemed to be a valuable memory, “My brother used to be my best friend.”I gave him the time he needed to process his feelings and waited patiently even though I was curious to know what could possibly go wrong for them to become bloodsworn enemies.Damon tilted his face to the other side and stared at the distance. I could see that recalling the past events was kind of hurtful to him.Swallowing the lump in his throat, he revealed another secret to me reluctantly, “Nicholus and I…we are half brothers.” Turning his head back to me, he sucked in a sharp breath, “We share the same father, the late King of the North, Arnold Dicaprio. But our mothers are different.”He took a small pause before continuing, “Nicholus is the child of King Arnold Dica

    Ember’s POV:The air was thick with heavy silence. As Damon relived the pain of his past, I thought about how tormenting it must have been for him to lose his mate right in front of his eyes.I swallowed the growing lump in my throat and inhaled sharply, “I’m so sorry, you didn’t deserve any of that.”The corner of his lips stretched into a sad smile, “It’s okay. I’ve learned to live with it.”No wonder he always seemed lonely. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. Opening them, I looked at him with evaluating eyes and a frown appeared between my eyebrows, “But all this rage and hatred…it’s consuming you, Damon.”I understood that the revenge he wanted was valid in his eyes, but he was giving himself away to evil. As he stayed quiet, I got curious about how exactly he was planning to go against the most ruthless alpha alive.Tilting my head to the side, I inquired, “By the way, how exactly are you planning to take him down?”Lifting his head, Damon met my eyes and thought about it

    Ember’s POV:Standing on my wobbly legs, I composed myself and sauntered toward my bedroom door. I was expecting Ms. Tacy or some other maid, so I stretched a huge smile on my face and flung the door open.But the smile quickly vanished as I took in Damon standing on the other side. His hair was ruffled and his eyes were dimmed, it was apparent he was barely holding himself together.My eyes traveled to his slouched shoulders and I spotted the strap of a backpack there. I frowned at that, “Where are you going?”His voice was blank and tired as he stated, “I’m leaving.”My frown deepened as I blurted out, “Leaving? Where? And why?”Pressing his lips in a thin line, he said tightly curtly, “You don’t expect me to stand by and witness you being someone else’s bride, do you?”I raised my hand and pointed at his bag, “So, this is what you want to do?”His eyes steeled as he hissed at me, “No, what I actually want is to take you with me, either by force or by kidnapping you.” His gaze darke

Of course, I’m busy as hell to make sure everything is going smoothly.”I rolled my eyes, “Stop stressing yourself and take a little rest now.”She stopped over my head and smiled down at me, “I can take all the rest starting tomorrow. But today, I will enjoy your big day to the fullest.”I wished I could feel the tiniest bit of excitement she had been feeling for my wedding but I wasn’t. My thoughts were all over the place. I was worried about Damon and dreaded what was cooking in Nicholus’s mind.Of course, we’ve tightened the security but when it came to the ruthless alpha of the North, nothing had seemed to stop

    Ember’s POV: My insides were burning with turmoil as I made my way downstairs. My thoughts were a jumbled mess and I couldn’t stop thinking whether my decision was right or wrong. Once the mating ceremony was over, there would be no way to go back. I wondered how all of it would affect my wolf. I was hoping with everything in me that mating with another wolf would cause my fated mate to finally reject me and free me from this mate bond. That way, I’d also get Aria back and right now, that was the only thought that made me keep going. With Sophie right beside me, we halted outside the closed doors when she turned her attention toward me, “Are you ready?”At that moment, I just wished I had injected drugs into my system to numb my mind until the end of the day. I took in a shivering breath and closed my eyes for a moment. My fingers grazed over the necklace resting over my neck and I stole a bit of warmth from it, imagining my mother right by my side. Taking a deep breath, I snapped

I was just a few minutes away from getting married, to fulfill the last requirement to become the Queen of the South. The only thing I had looked forward to my whole life, the only purpose of my life…gone, all gone. A shiver ran down my spine as I saw my mate, the most ruthless and cold-hearted alpha of all times, keep his scalding gaze on me. Pure and utter rage shone brightly in his eyes as they traveled down my bridal dress. His lips curled into a dangerous snarl as he glared at my groom viciously. I saw his hand balling up into a tight fist as he started taking quick and steady steps to where we were standing. Taking a shivering breath, I jerked toward Arnold, and pushed him away, “Go,” I uttered in urgency. His eyes were frantic with fear but he frowned at me, “I can’t leave you here alone.” I shook my head firmly and nudged him, “Just go.

    Nicholus’s POV:Exiting the dungeons, I started walking toward my private chambers. The night was so fucking mind-exhausting that I wanted to spend the rest of it alone before I caused any more destruction.Passing through the Luna’s quarter, I spotted her guards standing outside. Coming to a halt, I inquired, “What are you two doing here? Didn't Luna order you to take Darius to the castle clinic?”One of them nodded before answering, “We were on our way, Alpha. But then Beta asked us to take him to his chamber instead.”Turning on my heels. I started walking in the opposite direction. The castle had various chambers, quarters, and wings. The biggest of them was known as the Great Chamber which had always been reserved for the King. It was located above all the other chambers. It was so huge that I could see half of my empire from its terrace. After that was the Luna’s Quarters. Then, there were smaller chambers for Beta and Gamma.With quick strides, I crossed the hallways until I re

    Ember’s POV:Turning her blazing gaze toward his son, Luna said curtly, “Capturing women in the name of war trophies?”Disgust was written all over her face as she scoffed, “Couldn’t resist walking in your father’s footsteps for long, huh?”His death-like grip around my arm loosened instantly before he blurted out, “No, it’s not…”Luna cut him off mid-sentence, “I’ve never seen you do that before.” She shook her head in disappointment, “The son I’ve raised would never do such a hideous thing to any woman," she said in distress.Alpha’s body went rigid behind me at his mother’s words. He released an exasperated breath and said agitatedly, “You challenged my authority when it came to Darius, mom. But as the Luna of this pack, I let that go and gave in to your demand because I respect you.”His voice turned harsher as he bit out, “But she…she is not a member of our pack. So, you do not need to protect her.”He looked straight into Luna's eyes and uttered with finality, “Let me handle thi

    Ember’s POV:I watched in astonishment as a tall lady stormed into the dungeon hall with two guards behind her. They were nothing like the dungeon guards. Both had heavy build with intimidating looks permanently etched into their features. They were more like warriors.But all of my attention was focused on the lady who was lethal but equally charismatic. Immense power radiated off her.Her eyes were fearless which quickly turned ferocious as soon as they landed on Darius hanging from the ceiling.“For God’s sake, Nicholus. He is your Beta and you cannot do this to him,” her cold gaze slashed to my mate who was still gripping my cheeks.The lady’s eyes widened as she screeched in disbelief, “And who is she? And why are you clutching her like that?”“Mom…” my mate said tightly and that was enough to draw a complete picture for me.The charismatic lady who had just appeared out of nowhere was no one but the Luna of this pack. Well, that justified the way she dared to interrupt Alpha’s b

    Ember’s POV:Turning toward Darius, Nicholus assessed him with a vengeful gaze, “Really, Beta? Were my orders about her not clear enough to you?”Darius’s shoulders slouched as he exhaled, “They were, Alpha.”“And you still decided to go against me and defy my orders?” growled my mate angrily.Darius stared at the ground, “I thought…”Alpha cut him off mid-sentence, “I wonder why you have a soft corner for her, Darius. She is the one who betrayed your Alpha and still your loyalty lies with her.”At that, Darius lifted his head and looked at his Alpha, “That’s not true, Nicholus. I…”Once again, my mate didn’t let him finish as he spat bitterly, “I feel betrayed, Darius.” He shook his head slowly and grumbled in a low voice, “And you were never supposed to betray me.”Before poor Darius could explain his point, Alpha Nicholus turned his attention to the guards standing on either side of Darius and ordered them, “Hang him to the chains.”My eyes widened at his words, “What?”I saw in ho

    Ember’s POV:I dug my nails into his hand wrapping around my wrist while rasping, “Where the hell are you taking me?”Initially, I had expected him to put me back in the cell but soon, I realized that the devil had some other plans for his prey.Fear crept under my skin as he dashed deeper into the dungeons, leaving all the cells behind. As we walked through the dark corridor, I felt the air becoming thick and stagnant.I winced at the foul smell of rotting flesh whirling in the air. I tried desperately to wriggle myself out of his tight hold and croaked through the clogged throat, “Just leave me. Let me go.”At the end of the corridor, he took a sharp turn to the right and started bolting down the staircase. My free hand flew out in a failed attempt to hold anything, to fight him but all was in vain as he sped down.A shiver ran down my spine as the temperature here felt even colder than it was in the cells. Only a few dim lights were illuminating the otherwise dark hallway.There wer

None of us averted our gazes as millions of thoughts whirled around in our minds.I waited for him to thrash out in anger, mock me for not being a purebred, alpha-born, and insult me for having mixed blood in my veins.More than anything, I desperately waited for him to reject me right then and there. A new hope fluttered inside me. I was a hybrid, everything opposite to what he was expecting in his fated mate.The wisest thing for him to do as a King was to reject me and find a Chosen Mate with strong connections and pure, alpha blood coursing through her veins.But a long time passed and he kept standing there, gawking at me, thinking God knew what.His blank stare had started to affect me more than I liked to admit. I wondered what was going on in his mind.I squirmed under his hard stare and finally sputtered, “Say something.”I regretted that instantly. Why did I sound so vulne

We don't know how she..."Before the poor, frightened guard even finished his sentence, my very uncivilized and cruel mate lunged forward and wrapped his hands around the necks of both guards.Moving with the speed of light, he took the

    Ember's POV: Death played in front of my eyes in slow motion. I saw bulky wolves prancing in the air with their mouths gaped open, ready to bite their meal and tear me apart. I was still as a rock, not daring to move a muscle in my body, welcoming death with open arms when, all of a sudden, the world seemed to stop around me. My eyebrows deepened in utter confusion as I saw wolves suddenly falling to the ground mid-jump. Their bodies thudded down and they all touched their heads to the ground in complete surrender. A million questions whirled in my mind and I jolted around in a full circle to make sense of the things happening in front of my eyes. Who were they surrendering to? There was no one around us for as far as my eyes could behold. I would have loved to get answers to satisfy my curiosity but what I would have loved even more was to survive. As I took in all the wolves bowed down in surrender, it suddenly felt like fate had given me a second chance at life, at freedom.

There was no doubt that the wall was strong enough to hold my weight but the only problem was the silver that was now streaking down the wall at multiple places.I couldn’t do anything about that other than tolerating the burns because no matter how careful I could be, the touch with silver was inevitable.I rolled my shoulders several times as a warm-up.
