‘‘Why did you kill him?’’ Andrei enunciated slowly, his face red with anger. He was finding it hard to control his mate. *** Andrei had already chased Euthalia from the palace under the accusation that she had killed his father. All evidence was pointed towards her. So why was he having men abduct her and bring her back to the palace? Was it just another part of his revenge? Or was he willing to forgive her? Euthalia on her part had custody of the one thing that Andrei had ever wanted- his child. Could she trust him? And would she be able to prove her innocence before it was too late?
View MoreEuthalia’s POVI got back to the quarters at a little past nine. It was the longest day on earth for me and for my wolf.I had let Anastacia out after a very long time, and also opened my mind to Andrei. I had fought with my friend and whole cleaning his wound, I fought my own desire for blood. ‘A very dramatic day’ Anastacia agreed and I shut her off quickly. I had stopped to say good night to Dave before coming back here because I know I wouldn’t have a good night without seeing him. He was very comfortable in Daisy’s arms and was in a very long dialogue with her.If there was something I considered my baby’s superpower was his surprising discernment, he was barely five and he was already so mature. He had not held me there, when I had said goodnight he had waved back at me and it left me thinking that he didn’t need me as much as he used to. It was a bittersweet feeling.I closed the door behind me and I saw the dim red light next to Alice’s bed go off immediately. Her thin bed
Andrei’s POVMy definition of betrayal has changed more frequently recently, and I had a botched view of the world. It was hard to trust people and even harder to be secure enough to let my guard down.I want to blame that on Talia. I stared hard at Daisy, breathing hard from my run. She stood there lividly, not speaking and not saying anything in her defence.The last place I had expected her to be was cuddled in the embrace of the newest enemies of the pack. It was unimaginable and to me, outrageous.“Andrei, you have to calm down with your judgments. I won’t be caught dead betraying the pack, that I am here surely means something.” Daisy stepped forward. The annoying and unwanted guest was sitting on the bed, his face writhed with pain. He should be locked up in the dungeon by now.“What do you want to say now, Daisy?“ I asked, avoiding the eyes of every other person in the room.I feared if I stared too much at Talia, she would know it was her pleas that allowed me to return here
Daisy’s POVI have never seen him this way. Well, I hardly knew him, but it still didn’t change the fact that I had never seen him angry and enraged; he was usually overbearing and annoying, carrying a golden retriever smile on his face. I stood by the corner, hands over my chest as I watched him talk to Talia.“But what was I to believe?” Talia asked and I looked at him, waiting for his response.“That I am not a petty thief who goes around stealing bowls!” He responded, and I held in my laughter; he was really upset. I had heard from Andrei that he had sold out Talia, and I didn’t completely understand how that made any sense, but he was really upset that she thought he had stolen a bowl. I was used to the annoyingly consistent visitor who was quick to tease me, but then again, I didn’t know him.I just knew he got on my nerves; he smiled a lot, and most unfortunately, he was Euthalia’s lover, Dave’s father and the one who had sold her out. The one who she had cheated on my cousi
Eddie’s POVI am a bad person! I know that, and I have accepted that for the past years, and somehow, it has become my reality. From village to pack, to human civilization and in the woods, I somehow manage to bear the image of what a bad person represents.No matter how hard I tried, it has always come out that way. Well, when I was thirteen, my brother and the orphans that we were with decided to defy pack rules and went beyond the border. To cut a long story short, hungry hybrids had found us, and while I managed to run away, he hadn’t.I returned to that village without my brother; when they went for him, only his lifeless carcass was found.I was left with a burning pain in my heart because the stairs I was receiving were beginning to draw arrows in my back. Then, I went to the human world, and even then, I had been branded too hostile, and then I lost someone I fell in love with because I couldn’t tell her about this part of me. I was again- the bad person!Finally, I came b
Andrei’s POVThe more I ran, the more she followed behind; rage coursed through me as I went deeper into the woods, hoping for anything to make me stop feeling the deep anger I was feeling. I needed blood, the reality rang incessantly within me as my claws hit the ground and the hard branches pierced my skin. I needed blood, and it was what I was seeking outI didn’t understand why she was following me; every turn I made had her turn with me, and I growled at her in anger and irritation. I continued running, believing she would go away, but she didn’t, and I feared for the first rogue or human I would see because their lifeless body would be the one to tell the story of how enraged I was.Then it happened…In that feral and hopeless moment, our senses did the one thing I had been trying to get it to do since she came and I halted as it caused a sensation in me. She came to my front immediately, her breath wild and loud as her golden eyes stared at me. It had been years since I had
Euthalia’s POV I stood at the edge of the door, watching the chaos ensue. Five minutes ago, I had been the receiver of all abominable names because I had fallen asleep on my ex-husband's bed (the alpha), and now I still was receiving the lashes, but for something I didn't have anything to do with.Stella had fainted in the greenhouse; maybe she saw a snake, maybe she chewed a glass, or maybe her wolf was going through things, but she was lying unconscious on the bed in the guest room while she received care. They had immediately called on a healer and the young girl now bent over her on the bed, mixing herbs and performing spells.The room smelled like sage and some other medicines I didn't know. I watched the healer work with a newfound interest, the expert way she washed her hands and the setting of the needles in her veins. I cringed; needles scared me.She had not given a definite diagnosis on what was wrong with her exactly but I knew he was hoping it was nothing major. I coul
Andrei's POVThe day spread well from my bed. I could see the sun rise from the open window, but it wasn’t exactly a good day. It had not been for a while, I stood up from the bed after thirty minutes of laying there and doing absolutely nothing. I was allowed to sleep till noon because I had called in sick at the out office and told Baron not to trouble me. What I didn’t add was that I was suffering from late reaction heartbreak. I could lie to everybody but not myself. It had been a week since I had seen her kiss him. Okay, maybe I was exaggerating but I had seen them embrace, his hands holding her in a very cordial more than friends way. She had looked at him with something of the same intensity she had looked at me with. I wasn’t bothered exactly, I was feeling disrespected. I convinced myself as I found my robe and slipped into it. I walked over to the bathroom and closed the door behind me. Picking up my toothbrush, I pulled off the slippers on my feet and opted for the fl
Euthalia’s POVMy heart pounded hard against my chest as the noise around me faded into the background. Dave was saying something to Eddie but I couldn’t hear it, I wasn’t listening. I had written a letter to Avery and sent it through the gardener. It was easy getting them to help me out.I am ridiculously self aware and I know I went out of my way to make great relationships with them when I was Luna. Even now that I am back, it was how I got to know where Dave was most of the time and how I got to eat more than a half scoop of pudding. Eileen was my biggest opp and when a return letter had not come, I started to fear if she found it and maybe burnt it. Alice had assured me it would come and it finally did, just with an additional twist and I didn’t know what to do about that.“Can you hear me Talia?” Angela asked, and it was even then that I registered that she was in the room.Her hands were folded over her chest and a horrible frown on her face. Half of the room was staring at m
Euthalia’s POVI recognized the voice immediately I heard it, nothing prepared me for the adrenaline that shot through me as I charged at him. I didn’t care how mad I was at him for outrightly selling me out, it was better than having to tolerate men pretending to care for me. He stood there tall and lean, weathered by hard work and just by looking at him standing there while the sun played with his hair, my heart twisted in a thousand different directions. We had shared moments and stories and he had held my emotions a lot, it was expected that my heart leaped in joy when I saw him. “Eddie!” I called back, not even hearing myself I fought against the wind and bushes, I didn’t care for any of it. I jumped into his outstretched arms, his familiar scent bringing me great pleasure, I said nothing as I remained there. He pulled me away from him and looked me up.“Oh Talia, what have they done with you? Your eyes are so sad,” he muttered as he pulled me back in for a hug. I saw conc
Euthalia’s POVTHREE YEARS AGOI was furiously taping my feet on the floor as I tried to decide which perfume I was going to use for the Moon Goddess ceremony. I had performed this veneration for years before I was eighteen and even got to know who my mate was. But I guess my mate and Alpha, Andrei, had always known. He had sent tons of dresses for me to pick from and managed to pick the white one with stones around it. “You really shouldn’t be worried about what kind of lip gloss you’re going to put on. All the attention will be drawn to you anyway.” Andrei said behind me. He walked up to me, and placed a wet kiss on my shoulder, making me tingle all over. “I’m a role model for these Omegas. I have to represent the pack correctly.’’He rolled his eyes, with his towel still wrapped around his waist. I wondered what he would do if I loosened the towel and took control of him. Nope, I shook my head. That was Anastacia talking. I still had to tell him that we were expecting a baby....
