Lillian's Point Of View.“Oh, darling. I knew you would come, and it is really nice to have you here.” She teased, walking toward me.“Of course, it's been such an honor to find you down here.” I replied.Alpha Sarah, who was scared, hid behind me, but I stood in front of Juan.Juan tilted her head to the side, glaring coldly at Alpha Sarah.“Oh, poor Sarah. Didn't you expect to see me here?” She asked, straightened up and looked up at me.I was some inches taller than her.“What exactly brought you here?” She asked with a straight look.“Is this where you live? In the middle of nowhere? Living like a wild animal?” I sassed.But my face grew into rage, ready to tear me apart. However, she curbed her anger.“Very soon, you will regret what you said.” She growled.A chuckle swept through my mouth.“Very soon, you say? Well, I'll be eagerly awaiting it.” I said, the smirk on my face turned into a frown contoured with a straight look. “Now, what did you do to Elizabeth?” I asked, growlin
Marcus's Point Of View.It's been about two weeks since Isabella left with Beth and Jameson, and I don't know how I'm supposed to feel about that. But I'm certain she left, leaving a void in my heart.I was seated in the living room, fiddling with my phone, when Jules walked in with a bright smile that beamed on her face.“Hey, baby.” She uttered in a singsong tone, smiling brightly as she placed a kiss on my lips.I glanced at her, rolling my eyes as they landed back on my phone. She glared at me, sat on lap, wrapping her arms around my neck while she plucked my head with the tip of her fingers, still smiling brightly.“What? Is something wrong?” She asked with our eyes locked.“What do you want, Jules?” I grunted, adjusting my legs to accommodate her weight.“Why are you this way to me? I thought you loved me, and you wanted to be with me. Why are you giving me such attitudes since Isabella left?” She lamented aggressively with her lips pouted.“Really? You thought I loved you. Yes,
Lillian's Point Of View.I had picked a familiar scent from afar. A scent that would breathe his last breath the day we meet.A day like this happened too soon, and I never knew he would be the one who would walk to me.I grabbed the knob, opened the door and stepped out of the house. His eyes dropped like he had just seen a ghost.Of course, he told Isabella I was dead so, that makes me dead to him.“What a sweet man you are, Marcus!” I whined, licking my lips as I stared at him.He took some steps backwards as I approached him, but I did not stop walking to him.“I never knew you could walk to me yourself. Why? Are you that tired of life that you had to come find death?” A scary grin escaped my mouth.“No,” he shook his head with his hands stretched forth and waving at me. “It's not what you think, I know how, but you probably hate me right now, but it's not what you are thinking.” He pleaded, still taking slow steps backwards.“Really? What do you think I'm thinking? And what are yo
Beth's Point Of View.I looked at Lilian with my eyes widely open in despair. Several thoughts ran through my mind as I stared blankly at her. Could that be true? Will I die for real this time? Why did the Moon Goddess keep me alive to this moment, then? Is it to be killed by my long-lost sister?Of course, that's it. Why would else she had kept me alive until now?Slowly, I rose to my feet and dragged my feet into the room.“Beth?” I heard Isabel called out to me softly in a confused tone.This case of merging is settled already, I already know who has the strength to live it through.I sank myself on the bed, staring blankly at the wall when Isabel stepped into the room. She leaned against the door for a moment before walking further into the room. She sat beside me and threw her arm around my neck, pulling me in a hug.“Everything is going to be fine. I'm sure that Lilly will find a way around this.” She tried to console me in a soothing tone, but it won't work.It's only a matter
Beth's Point Of View.It was late into the night when I sharply opened of eyes after hours of pretending to be asleep. I couldn't sleep, nor could I let this golden opportunity pass me by.Slowly and gently, I pulled the sheet off my body and carefully crawled out of bed not to attract anyone's attention, not especially Isabel's who was sleeping next to me.I stood there for a few seconds to see if I had woken them, but Lilian and Isabel were both fast asleep.“Perfect,” I mumbled and tiptoed out of the room.I managed to get out of the house without being noticed, which was a good thing. The Present moon hung up in the sky, it was dim and could hardly show the path. I grabbed my phone from my pocket, switched on the flashlight and proceeded into the forest.I have to find the only one who has the answer to all my problems.Juan!I made my way to the address she had sent me in the text she sent to me earlier today. But to my surprise, as I approached and drew closer to the address, ev
Alpha Sarah's Point Of View.I was seated in my room, lost in thought of what to do. Either to run away or fight. But there again, I realized that each of my opponents has at least a partner.Alex has Wendy and probably Sandro. Juan has Mrs. Sophie. Miss Eloise has her child, but I'm all alone in this.A deep huff swept through my lips and I threw myself on the bed.“Why does it always have to be like this?” I mumbled to myself.I don't know who Mrs. Sophie is anymore, or why she would join force with Juan to kill me. Coming to this pack is really a mistake that I could have avoided.Suddenly, my phone beeped. It was a message from Juan that jolted me out of my thoughts.“Don't you think it's time for you to confess what you did, bloody Alpha?” The text read.That was it, the hint I had been waiting for. Now, I know why she is doing all of these and what she might want from me.But I would be a coward to give it to her, wouldn't I?I got out of bed and headed to the door. As I grabbed
Sandro's Point Of View.Enraged and furious, I paced around the room like a restless dog.Why haven't I heard anything from Elena? Why is this taking so long? Is it this difficult to get her?I have to get her before Alex, I must get to her before him.That is the only way I can win this fight and give my wife and child the rest they deserve. I won't stop until I maul him to deal with my two bare hands.The door suddenly crept open, interrupting my thoughts, and my eyes shifted to the door. It was one of the guards.“What is it?” I asked, rolling my eyes at him.“You seem to be worried, boss. Is everything okay?” He questioned softly, not paying much attention to the way I spoke to him.I shot a glare at him with my lips twitched, “Do you this everything is okay? Will everything be okay, and I'm like this?” I yelled at him, causing him to get startled.“I'm sorry, boss, I did not mean to interfere in your business.” He apologized with his head evenly bowed.“Then, you should never int
Juan's Point Of View.“Sandro?” My chin dropped, my eyes narrowly opened in surprise.Could I be dreaming or hallucinating? Is something wrong with me?I tried shaking the image off my head, but the man was still standing firm in front of me.“Let me guess, I haven't changed a bit over the years.” He giggled as he moved closer to me.But I took a step back, which made him alter his next step.His giggles, his face, and smile all seemed to be Sandro's, but could he really be the one? How did he escape that terrible night? And managed to stay alive up to now?I pondered hard, but there was no response to my thoughts or questions.“Do you know each other?” The lady beside him turned to him and asked gently.I looked at her, she had gentle eyes, but I can't remember seeing her face before. This must be the first time meeting her.“Yes, it is a long story but, we go a lot way back.” Sandro boasted and turned back to me.“Are you okay, Princess?” His voice filled with worry faded in the air
Lilian’s POVThe Palace looked almost magical in the soft morning light. Every corner shimmered, as though someone had scrubbed away the horrors of last night. But no amount of sunlight could erase the memories that lingered in my mind.I stood in the back, blending in with the crowd of Pack members. They cheered and clapped for Sarah, who stood in front of us with Alex by her side. Their smiles were genuine, their faces bright with hope, but I couldn’t join them.Beth’s face haunted me. Her last moments played over and over in my head, the way her body had gone still under the stars, the way her lips had whispered words I couldn’t quite hear. I swallowed hard, trying to push the images away, but they clung to me like shadows.Sarah raised her hands, and the room quieted. Her voice rang out, clear and strong. “Today, we celebrate the dawn of a new chapter for our Pack. We’ve endured pain, loss, and betrayal, but the Moon Goddess has guided us to this moment. Together, we’ll rebuild, s
Alpha Sarah's POVPower surged through my veins like nothing I had ever felt before. It was raw, wild, and untamed. Every fiber of my being burned with an intensity that demanded release. As Wendy lunged at me, her face twisted with hatred, I didn’t flinch. My roar erupted from deep within, shaking the very walls of the cave. The force of it sent Wendy hurtling backward, slamming against the jagged stone with a sickening crunch.She crumpled to the ground, her body limp. I should’ve felt relief, maybe even triumph. But all I felt was rage.“You brought this on yourself,” I growled, stepping closer. My claws ached to finish what she had started, to ensure she could never hurt anyone else again.Wendy groaned, her head tilting up just enough to glare at me. “You think this ends with me?” she spat, blood dripping from her mouth. “You’re just a pawn in something much bigger.”Before I could respond, movement in the corner of my eye drew my attention.Juan's POVThis wasn’t how it was supp
Alex’s POV“You think you can just walk away from this?”Juan’s voice tore through the silence like a whip, hitting me hard. I flinched, though I refused to show it. His sharp tone echoed off the stone walls. The air was already heavy with uneasiness, but his anger made it suffocating. His eyes burned with fury, his fists tight at his sides, ready to lash out.I stood still, staring at her. Around us, the remnants of the chaos—the broken furniture, shattered glass, and bloodstained floors—served as grim reminders of what had just happened. But Juan’s anger was a storm brewing on top of it all, and it was directed straight at me.“What do you want from me?” I finally snapped, my voice sharp as a blade. My chest heaved with frustration, the weight of her accusations pressing hard against me. “You think I planned this? That I wanted any of this to happen?”“You’re not innocent, Alex!” Juan roared, stepping closer. Her face twisted with rage. “You’re just like the rest of them! You carry
Alpha Sarah's POVThe air felt heavy, not just with the cool night but with the weight of everything that had just unfolded. Alex had broken down moments earlier, consumed by the ghost of his father’s voice. I had held him, trying to comfort the mate I still loved, even after everything. But there was no time for peace tonight.A sharp scream tore through the silence, wrenching us all back into reality.Beth's POVI knew I didn’t have much time. While the others were distracted, I moved toward Lilian, clutching the vial of antidote in my shaking hands. Lilian’s body was too still, her breathing too shallow. I knelt beside her, gently cradling her head as tears streamed down my face.“Just hold on,” I whispered, uncorking the vial. “You’re going to be okay.”But I didn’t see Wendy until it was too late.At first, I didn’t even realize I had been stabbed. There was only a strange pressure in my chest, like I had forgotten how to breathe. Then came the burning, fire spreading from the po
Alex's Point of ViewThe night pressed in around us, suffocating the air with an eerie silence that seemed to hold us all captive. My heart raced, my breath shallow as I stood beside Wendy. We were surrounded by a thick wall of shadows, the only light coming from the moon above, filtering through the trees. In the center of our circle, Lilian’s limp form lay motionless, her once strong presence reduced to a fragile shadow.Beth’s potion had worked too well. Too well, in fact. I could barely look at Lilian’s face, though her eyes, open and filled with an unspoken plea, forced me to meet them. Her lips trembled as if she wanted to speak, but no sound came out. The weight of her silent cry lodged in my chest like a stone. I had never intended for things to go this far, but here we were. And now, there was no turning back.I could hear Juan, Sandro, and Elena whispering to each other, their voices hushed but urgent, forming a protective barrier around us. Their eyes darted constantly from
Beth's POVThe stench of blood still clung to my hands as we left Mrs. Sophie’s garden, my heart hammering against my ribs. I couldn’t shake the image of her lifeless body from my mind. Killing her was necessary, I kept telling myself, but the weight of it sat heavy on my chest.I glanced at Isabella, her face pale and blank, her usually sharp eyes now distant. She hadn’t spoken a word since we left. Her silence was louder than any scream, and it unnerved me.The walk to the Palace felt endless. When we finally reached its towering doors, I noticed how the place seemed darker, colder, as if the walls themselves had absorbed the weight of our sins.Marcus stood at the top of the grand staircase, his gaze fixed on us. His face was unreadable, but I could see the pressure in his shoulders.Isabella froze the moment her eyes landed on him. Her silence broke with a venom-laced hiss."I'm saving Lilian without your help!" she snapped, her voice trembling with anger and grief. She turned on
Isabel's POVMy hands trembled as I stared at the person standing in Mrs. Sophie’s living room. Beth. The same Beth who had given Lilian away all in the name of whatever she was plotting with Juan. The same Beth the whole Pack thought was dead. The same Beth who the Pack thought betrayed them all. She might not have betrayed them but she betrayed me and Lillian, for that, I dint think I would ever be able to forgive her. Seeing her now felt like the ground beneath me had been ripped away, leaving me teetering on the edge of a dark abyss.I wanted to run, to escape the suffocating unease in the room, but Alpha Sarah’s firm grip on my arm kept me rooted in place. Her sharp nails dug into my skin, a reminder that I wasn’t going anywhere.“Please, Isabel,” Alpha Sarah said, her commanding voice softened to a rare whisper. “Just listen. We need both of you if we want any chance of saving Lilian.”The mention of Lilian’s name hit me like a punch to the gut. My sister was out there somewher
Wendy's Point Of view.The day was rather too slow than I expected it to be but I endured through the night. I tossed to the other side of the bed and when I groggily opened my eyes, it was met with the alarm clock.It was time to get out of bed. I threw the bedsheet over my body and got out of bed. Though it was still dark outside, this is the best time to start getting ready for the ritual."Such a good day to die, Alpha Sarah." A satisfied smile flashed on my lips.I made my way into the bathroom and took my time. After some minutes, I stepped out of the bathroom back into the room with a towel wrapped to my chest.I sat on the edge of the bed and applied lotion on my body while I hummed a slow romantic song. The sky was a bit clearer and it was time to step out if the house.I hurriedly got dressed and retreated from the house, I would have taken Alex's car but I would not want to disturb his sleep. So I walked out of the compound and trekked to the bus station where I boared a bu
Alpha Sarah's Point Of View.My face twitched with confusion as I couldn't place where I had seen the face, but I knew for certain that it was a familiar face.“Who are you? And what do you mean by you're the answer I seek? I seek nothing and I do not appreciate you calling me out like this in the middle of the night.” I warned fiercely and was about to leave when the lady stopped me.“Wait, Alpha Sarah, unless you have no interest in knowing what your mission is as the Alpha of this Pack. Seeing, you have until the end of tomorrow to remain Alpha.” She said, her voice was clouded with confidence and it clicked!This must be the bumper I saw earlier on my way home. I slowly turned to her with my brows twitched, my eyes scanning her from her head to toe.“Of course, I'm the bumper you met earlier, and I told you I would've back soon.” She uttered with a smile.“I never knew it would be this fast,” I crossed my arms against my chest with my head slightly tilted.“Well, there isn't much
