Evelyn’s PoVIt had been days since I learned the truth: I was wolfless. A defect. An outcast. That knowledge weighed me down and it made me feel like I was isolated from the rest of the world. I had distant myself from my mother, Marcus, and even Rachel. The feeling of being cursed, of being a lose
Standing there, I could feel anger boiling inside me. “I said, I’ll be the judge of that.” Then I began walking away, toward the direction of the woods.“Evelyn,” Ardan called. “Tell me something. Are you…speaking to Gloria?His question took me by surprise and I had to think for a moment.“I don’t
Serena’s PoVMy own child, my Evelyn, had become so cold to me. I’ve tried my best to get close to her after that fateful day when she learned that she was wolfless, but she rebuffed all attempts. I also attempted to talk her, to look for her, and to engage in conversation, but all in vain.It hurt.
“This can’t be happening,” I whispered. “We defeated her, Ardan. Together. How can she still be here?”“Draven supposes that Gloria’s spirit has been trapped in that thing,” he told her. “If Evelyn continues its usage, the power of Gloria will increase, and the spirit might transform into a full-blo
Serena’s PoVThe atmosphere was tense to the point of oppression as Isiah led the defiant alpha into the room. He was a big man, well-built, and tattoos all over his body and even face. His eyes flickered across me and then at Ardan, Zone, and Evelyn. Evidently, the existence of his evil presence al

Evelyn’s PoVIt wasn’t long before Caden came to pick me up. His rogue wolves stood next to him, their faces cold and emotionless. My mother, Serena, stood firm in front of me, her aura protected me and prevented the wolves from coming any closer to me.“I will personally cut your genitals off if yo
Evelyn PoVAt first, I had not thought that Gilly's story would turn out to be so tragic. I thought I was merely doing my mother a favour: I was releasing a spirit and giving peace to the pack. But every single step I took in the direction of solving was heavy with shadows that just threw more secre

Evelyn PoVThe truth sat heavy on my chest, a stone sinking into dark waters. Gilly's voice lingered in my mind, a soft, desperate whisper threading through my thoughts even as I went through the motions of daily life. The blood of the betrayed will break the chains.Those words had been haunting me
Evelyn PoVWas this a mere figment of my imagination?… Gilly’s voice had become an echo that trickled into the stillness, catching me unawares. The torment did not even allow me peace in sleep. I would close my eyes, and her voice would take me into shadowed dreams-corridors layered in darkness, cha
Evelyn’s PoVAs I came to stand amidst the rubble of Odessa’s fortress, there rioted smells of smoke and blood. The bodies of both friends and foes lay scattered on the ground from a battle that, to me, seemed less a victory than a doomsday. My body screamed for peace, and the tightness of every mus

"Evelyn, this isn't your battle to fight a lone," Marcus pleaded. "Come home. Together we face her."She hesitated, her shoulder drooping. "If I go with you, Odessa will hunt us down, and she will kill you both. And my mother ..."Marcus could see that she had a burden to bear, and that burden had b

Serena’s PoVTears stung my eyes, and I woke up in a start with broken breath as the persistence of the dream clung to me. In this muted room, shadows danced upon the wall; for a second, I was hardly certain of where I stood. The dream had borne the reality—Odessa, her eyes bright with evil gleam, s
