Ember’s POV:

“Oh, my goodness, what a heavenly beauty I’m witnessing right now,” exclaimed Sophie while stepping into my room.

I glared at her through the vanity mirror I was glued in front of with a bunch of beauticians hovering over me, “What took you so long?”

Her eyebrows met her hairline as she raised them dramatically to make a point, “I am the only bridesmaid, duh. 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

    Ember’s POV: I saw my whole world collapsing right in front of my eyes. Dread consumed me as I realized how easily it all crashed down. 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.

    Ember’s POV:Sophie stopped breathing as Nicholas pressed his sharp claw against her neck. Her eyes widened with fear whereas her body went rigid.Without paying any heed to the whimpering girl in his clutches, the cold-blooded alpha flickered his attention to me and bared his teeth, “Tell me, Little Princess, should I go for her jugular or her erratically beating heart?” His smirk turned demonic as he croaked, "It's fun both ways."Fear gripped me and panic swelled inside me because I had now witnessed how far this monster could go. My mind was numb with shock but my body moved on its own accord. My hands flew in front of me and I shook my head violently.My voice came out rough and parched as I whined, “No, not her.”Something deep inside me cracked at the thought of losing Sophie. She was practically my sole family, my anchor that kept me going through all the darkness. I couldn’t fathom to bear her loss. My heart constricted painfully just at the mere thought of it.That explained

    Ember's POV:I let out an ugly sob as Sophie fell on the floor. She was out of her wits as she gawked at me with frantic eyes. Breathing heavily, she started crawling toward me.I opened my arms to hug her, to console her that she was okay now but just as she was about to reach me, a steely hand gripped my upper arm, making me wince.I gasped as Nicholus jerked me to stand up and face him. I tried to wriggle my arm out of his hold but my whole body went rigid as soon as he slipped his hand around my waist.Reluctantly, I lifted my gaze and looked at him in confusion. His eyes turned a shade darker and I saw crazy rage lingering there.The muscle in his jaw twitched. Curling his lips in a frightening snarl, he hissed at my face, “Let me show you what happens when someone betrays me.”My frown deepened as he tightened his hold around my waist. And then, all of a sudden, a shocking gasp escaped my lips as he twirled me around and placed his palm on my belly.The first thing I saw was Fat

    Nicholas’s POV:It all started a few days ago when I was having a meeting with Ethan and Darius barged into the office with an unbelieving yet dreadful news, “I’ve investigated. Seems like Damon is building an army of rogue wolves.”Ethan flipped his head toward Darius and blurted out in confusion, “Army of rogues? How is that possible?”Darius only shrugged in response whereas I planted my elbows on the desk and leaned closer, “It means that he has found a way to tame them.” That was the only valid explanation I could think of.Darius frowned in confusion, “Is that even possible? Aren’t rogues the ones who have lost all hope of coming back to the light?”I mulled over his words before answering their questions to the best of my knowledge and understanding, “We must not forget that rogues are rogues because they’ve lost purpose in life.” I tilted my head to the side, “I’m not surprised that he has found a way to tame them. The fucker was always interested in them.”Ethan rubbed his fo

    Nicholas’s POV:That night, we were all cooped up in my office. Me, my Beta, Gamma, and a few other commanders were all gathered around the map sprawled over my desk.Darius pointed at the map, “According to my sources, the South-North border is heavily guarded by the rogues.”Ethan quirked his eyebrow, “Damon must have stationed them there since they would be expecting us to retaliate after the attack.”Liam, a military commander, chimed in, “Well, we can unleash our army on them. We weren't expecting it last time when they attacked us, but now we are prepared.”Ethan nodded confidently, “Yes, we can easily take them down.”I shook my head once as a smirk formed on my face, “But that would alert Alexander’s forces in the castle and just ruin my surprise, no?”At that, Darius flipped his head in my direction, “What are you planning, Nicholus?”I planted my elbows on the desk and leaned forward, “I’m planning to kill two birds with one stone. First, I’m going to retrieve my mate but…” I

    Nicholus’s POV:The night before the wedding ceremony, we received the news that Damon had reached the North-South border with more of his bloody rogues but by that time, I, along with my forces, had already reached the West-South border.After hearing the news, Xoro just wanted to leave everything behind and cross the border to wrap his hands around Damon's neck and strangle him until his face turned red. And then, I’d look into his horror-filled eyes and right before snapping his neck, I’d ask him how dared he lay hands on my mate.I closed my eyes and took a deep breath to calm myself and my raging wolf. There was a possibility that Damon had no idea that she was my mate but then, maybe she had confided him in. Fuck, even if he knew, it wouldn’t have stopped him from doing what he did.At that, a deep and dark chuckle escaped out of me. The two people who should have been standing by me as my strength are playing behind my back. I was being betrayed by those I was supposed to trust

    Ember’s POV:I was pushed into the car by my mate. A moment later, the car shifted as his huge and bulky frame settled inside. He was so big that even the spacious car felt much smaller in his presence.I squirmed toward the door but there wasn’t enough space to put between us. I saw the flare of my dress touching his leg and I quickly collected it to move it away from him.He saw me doing that vainly and shifted his leg away from my dress.A moment later, the engine rumbled. I sucked in a sharp breath as I glanced out the window and took in the castle I’d spent my whole life in.Even after spending all my life there, I couldn’t come to call it a home. Maybe that’s why while going away from it, I just wanted to take one thing with me. Sophie, my best friend.But it didn’t mean that it hurt me any less to part ways with it. It felt like someone had stabbed a sharp knife deep within my heart and was continuously moving it sideways to rip it open. Yes, it was my mate. He was doing that t

    Ember's POV:The next day, I was expecting Nicholus to visit me and discuss the ticking bomb looming over our heads, a.k.a. the mate bond.A ball of anxiety rolled around in my belly for the whole day. To be honest, I wasn't ready for that conversation. For some reason, I still wanted to be free of this mate bond and return to the South.Deep down, I knew there was no point in going back now. My people would never accept me. It didn't go unnoticed by me how no one from the South ever attempted to rescue me. I was sure it was my Father's doing. He must have brainwashed them against me.He must have revealed that I was a witch. Me being a hybrid was enough to turn them against me. I wouldn't be surprised after knowing that my cunning father had painted me as a liar and wicked witch who was betraying everyone to get her hands on the throne and rule the South.On top of that, he must have used this mate bond against me. I could imagine the hatred he must have planted in those people after

    Ember’s POV:I was sound asleep when my sleep was interrupted by a parched throat. I peeked my eyes open, and the first thing I saw was the glowing numbers on the digital clock. It was past midnight.Suddenly, I realized that I wasn’t alone in the room. Someone was there. I could feel the movement beside my bed. As I took a deep breath, the earthy scent that had driven me crazy more than once, told me that it was my mate.Very slowly, I tilted my head to the side and saw his tall figure standing beside my bed. My breathing slowed down as I studied his features radiating under the warm hues of the bulb.Although I never wanted to admit it my mate, indeed, was a very handsome man. My heart picked a beat as I took in his wide shoulders. With thick muscles and a broad frame, he was the epitome of masculinity.He was wearing a black button-down shirt and black pants, indicating that he came here straight from his office. In that attire, he was looking even hotter. His sleeves were rolled u

    Ember’s POV:For the rest of the day, I took a rest which was quite boring. I never thought I’d admit it but I was kind of missing my mate’s presence beside me. Every time the door opened, my ears perked up to hear his deep voice but it was never him.The nurses visited frequently to ensure I was fine and gave me medicines. Soup was served at lunch and it was a struggle to swallow it down my throat. Dr. Alina informed me that the bad taste in the mouth was a common side effect of certain medicines. That’s why everything tasted bitter and rotten.It was in the evening when I finally heard his footsteps outside the ward. Instead of coming inside, he lingered there for a minute before the door finally creaked open. As soon as he stepped inside, an inevitable smile split over my lips at finally being able to see him after a long wait.Closing the door, he turned around to face me and suddenly went still with his gaze fixated on the stupid grin on my face. He seemed to be taken aback by my

    Ember’s POV:For the first time since stepping foot into the North region, I woke up all warm and cozy, snuggling in the soft comforter. I opened my eyes to the bright orange glow of the heater radiating heat at full speed.I yawned softly and was about to rub my groggy eyes when I felt something peculiar that instantly increased my heartbeat.Slowly tilting my head to the other side, I took in a big, bulky hand covering my smaller one. He didn't leave, after all. A hint of a smile grazed my lips as my eyes remained fixated on our connected hands. Mine seemed so tiny in front of his large, meaty hand.I was still relishing the warmth of his touch when his body squirmed slightly. That’s when my eyes traveled to his face and a loud gasp escaped my lips.Hearing that, he jolted awake and started looking here and there while saying frantically, “What happened? Are you okay? Should I call a doctor?”My eyes widened at his reaction and something hot dropped in the pit of my stomach as I hea

    Ember's POV: We had been talking for about 15 minutes when the doors to the room flung open, and a 6'3" tall grumpy man appeared at the doorway. I didn't fail to notice how his broad shoulders and tall figure filled the whole doorframe. His eyes landed on Darius and he grumbled warningly, "Time up, little buddy." Darius rose to his feet and screeched dramatically, "But we were just about to start gossiping about you." My eyes widened as I protested, "No, we weren't." Darius smiled down at me wickedly, "Oh yeah, because we've already done that," he ended with a wink. I opened my mind to reprimand him when we heard my mate grumbling again at the poor soul, "Enough of this childish behavior." In a flash, he appeared before Darius. He thought I couldn't hear him but my ears picked up his exact words as he hissed in a low whisper, "You had your time with her. Now I want you out." Darius opened his mouth to say something but it suddenly clamped shut as his posture straightened and hi

    Ember’s POV:My head felt heavy and dizzy as I stepped back into consciousness. Every inch of my body ached brutally and it was an effort to open my eyes.A white ceiling came into view and when I tried to move my body to sit up, an excruciating pain rippled through my abdomen and traveled to every part of my body.That made me moan in agony and just a moment later, my mate’s face appeared over me. His forehead was creased with worry as he looked down at me. When he spoke, there was a hint of relief in his voice, “Finally, you’re up.”His eyes roamed all over my face as he inquired with caution, “How are you feeling now?”I stared at his face looming over me and willed my fingers to move and touch him but, for some unknown reason, I felt stuck in my body. I kept staring into his eyes filled with worry and my own eyebrows furrowed as I took in the horror lingering in those pitch-black orbs and then finally, the strings started connecting in my head.All of a sudden, the flashbacks of t

    Nicholus's POV: As soon as I was done with the shower, I made my way back to the clinic and found Darius outside the ward. Walking up to him, I suggested, "Now you should go and take a shower yourself." He squinted at me, "After your continuous nagging, I think I can really use one." As he walked away, I settled on the bench outside the ward and went to the waiting. I was getting restless, waiting for the doors to burst open at any moment and doctor coming out with a news, a good one actually. After about three minutes, Darius opened our mindlink, "Hey there, any update?" Annoyed at the interruption, I huffed out, "I'll let you know if there's any." He snickered, "Already getting frustrated? Remember I did that for over a dozen times." I retorted mockingly, "It's sad that you don't have the power to keep our mindlink shut...unlike me." He was about to say something when I snapped the mindlink shut. I could feel him trying to push it open but of course, that wasn't possible for

    Nicholus's POV:Once again, I spiraled back into the state of unknowing and every fucking second of it was full of agony. I was continuously pacing the floor while the doctors examined my mate inside.It was an effort to control myself from bursting through the doors. After the night's horror, I didn't want to leave my mate alone even for a second. My mind was still stuck in the moment when I found her in the woods, wounded and unconscious. The image of her lifeless, pale, and limp body kept flashing in my mind.My jaw clenched and I gritted in agitation, "What the hell is taking so long?"Darius, sitting on the bench outside the ward, sighed aloud, "Calm down, Nicholus. Your fretting isn't doing anyone any good."I whipped my head toward him and screeched, "No, Darius. I can't fucking calm down when my mate is in there and I have no idea what's going on."I watched as the worry in his eyes turned into something similar to amusement and he drawled, "Worried enough? About your mate? Wh

    Nicholus’s POV: Suddenly, out of nowhere, Darius appeared beside me and yelled over the howling wind, “What are you doing here?” I continued scanning the area wildly while screeching, “Looking for her. What else do you think?” Stepping in front of me, he frowned with confusion, “What…I mean…you really can’t catch her scent, Nicholus?” My eyes widened and my heart picked a beat as I whispered hopefully, “Can you?” Darius eyed me with concern. I knew what was going on in his head but I didn’t have the time for that conversation when my mate was still out there somewhere, lost and in God knows what condition. Good thing that Darius realized that too and turned around, “Come with me. I can catch her scent.” I took a shivering breath and rasped out, “That means we’re close.” He nodded tightly, “We’ll find her, Nicholus.” Like a lost puppy, I followed him as he sprinted through the rough patch in the woods. He took a few sharp turns before coming to an abrupt halt. I scanned the are
