Rayne's POV

I went to check up on Bradford afterwards, drawn there by a deep sense of duty and guilt. He had barely gotten to enjoy the return of his mate, and now another tragedy had struck.

On the hospital bed, he looked too still, too quiet. His chest barely even rose or fell, and the bandage around it had turned slightly yellow from the discharge of his wound.

From his side, sunken in a chair, Sal's voice reached me. It sounded like it had been weighed down by her sadness and worry. It hung in the air, tired and devoid of warmth. It made me think about Kaiden, and how he must have felt. Their eyes had shared the same look. Empty, but struggling to hold on to light.

“How's he doing?” I asked, even if I could tell that there was no significant change from the look of still form.

Sal’s shoulders made a depressing imitation of what a shrug should have been. “Stable, I guess. Doc’s put him in a clinically induced coma in hopes that it'll help him heal faster. He's barely breathing no

    Rayne's POVNot wanting to continue watching a moment that I probably wasn't supposed to witness, I quietly left the garden after that. I had seen enough.As I bounded down the hall towards the dungeon, someone came walking out of a corner, giving me little time to even move out of the way. I barely dodged, and as I twisted out of the way I grabbed on to the nearest item I believed would keep me on my feet.It was him again.I let go of his shirt like it was a hot potato. “What are you doing here?” He looked down at me, unsmiling. “I should be asking you the same thing.”“I'm not a prisoner here.”“Still doesn't answer the question.”I crossed my arms. “Excuse you, but you have no right to ask me such questions. You're not the one hosting me here.”“But I have been tasked with looking after you, as well as the role of a First Beta.”First Betas were, as the name implied, Betas that answered directly to the Alpha. That was Bradford's role previously, but obviously since he was hospita

    Rayne's POVFor a very long time, the only thing I knew about myself was the fact that I was destined to be a Luna, even though I was the offspring of Omegas. To many, it was a great honor, but to me, it became a burden. I never got to meet or see the Priestess that started the prophecy, but many said that she had gone insane shortly before she died, but was powerful enough for her words to hold credibility. That was why her words haunted me for so long, even after her supposed death. Right from the cradle, my destiny had been determined.Once, I believed in it, but was a prophecy meant to bring a person so much suffering? For three years of supposedly walking in line with it, and all I saw was how brutal people could be with their words and actions. My life nearly got snatched away because of it.What could Victor possibly have known about me? Curiosity nibbled at me for days. While I went about trying to find clues, or was focusing on ignoring Kaiden, or just simply went about my

    Sal’s POVI ran the wet cloth over his skin, taking my precious time to ensure that the surface was clean. Seeing him in this sick bed reminded me of how taking care of my paralyzed father used to be before he succumbed to the weakness of his body.After I finished cleaning him up, I kissed him on the forehead, packed up my things, and left.“I'll be back soon,” I whispered to him at the doorway, hoping that even if the chances were slim, he could hear me.Later, my mind moved over the things I had managed to gather up since Rayne and I started looking for clues as to who released the rogue that night. I'd been to the dungeons numerous times, but found nothing significant except for the ugly stain on the concrete floor where Bradford had bled.To further prove that the rogue had been indeed released and simply didn't break out on his own, the cell he had been in had no signs of struggle. No claw marks or broken floors. It was like one moment he was inside, and the next he wasn't.I al

    Kaiden's POVGetting good sleep became difficult. Eating as well. Migraines plagued my every waking moment. From the moment I opened my eyes, to the moment I crawled back into bed as an exhausted man.I missed having Rayne's warmth beside me. I really did, but maybe staying away from her was the best. I didn't want her to start thinking I was trying to force her into being with me again.I had been making a personal investigation concerning Bradford's attack on my own, because I couldn't seem to have anyone else I could trust wholly as I did Bradford. The only person I could talk to right now was Savannah, and there was only so much that she could do.Drawn out of bed by the great urge to relieve myself, I rolled out of bed and stumbled into the toilet. After completing my business, I went over to the sink to wash my hands. I focused on the cool water hitting my skin to rinse off the soap I used, and raised my head to the mirror in front of me.For a little while, I didn't seem to re

    Rayne's POVMoving around at night like someone with something to hide didn't sit right with me, but I wanted answers, and I would do what I could to get them.Victor had indeed piqued my curiosity by speaking about the prophecy, but to an extent, it wasn't private information. If everyone in Oceanpearl was aware of it, then it wasn't enough proof for me to simply believe his words.He had asked us to meet tonight for him to “reveal all” as he had so put it, and who was I to deny the man audience? I would listen to what he had to say one last time, and then I would give him a piece of my mind as well.I slipped through the halls with practiced ease. It was funny how a few months back I didn't even know the end of one hall to the other, and often ended up in the wrong places. The place had grown on me, one way or the other, and I had started to see it as a home.This didn't mean that I had cast off Oceanpearl entirely, as I still had some ties to it. After all, I had been born there, s

    Rayne's POVI had promised myself that no one would ever consider me helpless ever again.I didn't even let his lips fully settle before I pressed both hands on his chest and pushed him away with a loud roar. “Get away from me!”Victor's back slammed into the other wall. He stayed there for a little moment, watching me with flashing gold eyes. Eerily, almost like a puppet, he regained his composure. “Did you know that not very long ago, it was common practice to share mates?” He made a false lunge at me, and I stumbled back, nearly missing my footing. He laughed, and the sound grated against my ears uncomfortably. “I'm sure Kaiden wouldn't mind me having a little taste of his latest pet.”“You're sick, and I'll make sure he finds out about that,” I said, already backing up the stairs I came through. I didn't want to take my eyes off him in case he tried something, but I didn't have eyes at the back of my head, so progress was slow.Unfortunately, I didn't have anything on me that I

    Kaiden's POVI felt like I had swallowed a hot, burning coal, and it had sunk deep into my body cavity, burning me on the inside. Watching Rayne leave the room became one of the hardest things I had ever done, and I didn't want to do it. The problem lies within me. I couldn't understand what I had seen after I followed her into that place. Images warred in my mind, pulling me from one resolve to another. The moment Victor kissed her, I had left, because I didn't want to watch any more, but . . . I think I had heard something else. The problem was remembering what I heard, and if I even heard anything at all.Savannah pulled me down to her again, and I obeyed, resting once again on her thighs, and letting her run her fingers through my hair.She parted the middle section of my hair, her breath soft against my cheek. “Don't worry about them, Kaiden. You're too hard working to take on all these struggles yourself. You need assistance.”

Satisfied with how I looked, I left the mirror and went back to my bed. I picked up my phone and started randomly scrolling through it. Out of necessity I had set it up a while back, but I seldom had much use for it these days with everything that had been happening.I decided to check out the Paranormal Watch to see the top news concerning werewolves. After a little while of scrolling through the headlines, one thing stood out to me: more and more sightings and run-ins of normal wolves with rogues. They were becoming bolder and unpredictable with their attacks, and it wasn't just in

    Author’s POVYears had passed since the great war that signaled the end of an era for the Mysticrock pack and its allies. That singular moment that had seemed miniscule in the eyes of many ended up being a memorable turning point in the treaty between humans and werewolves all over the world. The scars of the terrible times had healed, though the memories of struggle and loss remained etched in the hearts of those who survived. Life, however, had a way of moving forward, and in the years since Dr. Cedric’s imprisonment, the werewolf community had continued to thrive. Mysticrock pack had expanded even further since Rayne’s rescue of the imprisoned werewolves. Many of them chose to remain in service to her, preferring to stay within reach of the Lycan Queen, than even in their own home packs. The pack now stretched across more miles of dense forest, now basking in the warmth of the afternoon sun. The land had increased in vibrancy, and anyone who saw it wouldn’t have been able to tell

    Rayne's POVKaiden.I smiled at the thought of him, my heart swelling with warmth. He had been there all along, quietly watching, waiting, and never pushing. Even when I had been mated to an Alpha, our fates intertwined in ways I hadn’t understood. Kaiden had been my constant, my true north, even when I didn’t realize it. And now, here we were, fated to be together, just as it was always meant to be. Even the years apart did nothing to dampen the flames of our passion. Many times, thinking about him was what kept me moving during the most terrible of days—the hope that eventually, once I got free, I would be back by his side, where I was truly meant to be. The place where I truly belonged.A soft rustle of leaves pulled me from my thoughts, and I opened my eyes to see Sal approaching. Her twin daughters, Ivy and Isla, followed closely behind, their identical faces full of curiosity and energy. Seeing them filled me with a burst of joy, because I could still vividly remember when she a

    RAYNE'S POVIt’s strange when I look back at everything now. All that chaos, the pain, the heartbreak—it all seems like a lifetime ago, though it’s only been months since my world changed for the better once again. I sat at the edge of the pack grounds, watching the late afternoon sun stretch its golden light across the treetops. A soft breeze played with the locks of my hair, pushing the strands against my face in a tickling manner. The wind carried the familiar scent of pine and earth, but it also brought memories, tugging at my mind until I could no longer push them aside.Eighteen years. That’s how long I had been trapped, held captive by Dr. Cedric, who cared for nothing else but his own twisted ideals—only what my blood could do for him. I used to wonder how I survived all those years, locked away, forgotten by the world I had once known, and separated from my family. The nights that I had screamed myself to sleep because I couldn’t stand the silence of those human-sized pods o

    Kairen's POVI couldn’t help but let out a little surprised laugh as he took my hand and led me away from the crowd. Roman, who was talking to a group of his classmates, momentarily paised to give us a knowing look as we passed, but he didn’t say anything. He simply gave a small wave before turning back to the group of friends he was with. Todd didn’t say much as we walked, his hand warm and steady in mine as we made our way through the campus and out into the surrounding woods. It wasn’t until we reached the all too familiar clearing—the place where we had first crossed paths—that I realized where he was taking me.The memories flooded back the moment we stepped into the familiar space. The trees were just as tall, their branches swaying gently in the wind, and the soft sound of the nearby stream filled the air. It was peaceful here, just like it had been that day so long ago, when our lives had first intertwined. Who would have ever thought that I would have fallen in love with a g

    Kairen's POVMonths had passed since the chaos surrounding Dr. Cedric had finally come to a fruitful demise. Life had slowly begun to find its beat once again, though the scars of what we’d been through still lingered in small, subtle ways. The pack had recovered from most of the damage done in those crucial 18 years, the tension, fear and anxiety giving way to a renewed sense of strength and hope. But more than anything, the peace allowed us to move forward—each of us in our own way.Today, we were gathered for something far different than the clashing of claws and roaring. The university campus buzzed with excitement and celebration as students in their robes moved through the courtyard, their faces lit up with the glow of glorious achievement. They were celebrating the years they had gone through the halls of this school, studying to become people of influence in the nearest future. Todd and Roman were among them, their final year completed, and now they were finally graduating. T

    Kairen's POVI stood next to Todd, the silence between us heavy with everything left unsaid. His face was drawn, shadows clinging beneath his eyes, and I wondered how much longer he could keep this up—this weight he carried, the war within him.“Todd...” I began, unsure of what to say. What could I say? His father was a monster, and though I had known Dr. Cedric’s cruelty, I couldn’t pretend to understand what it meant to Todd. It wasn’t just about stopping a villain; it was personal, wrapped in all the twisted layers of family, duty, and a lot of shame.He probably didn't feel like he was supposed to be by my side.Todd shook his head, as if to stop me from saying whatever was on my mind. “Don’t, Kairen,” he said softly, his voice hoarse. “Don’t say anything. You don't have to try to make me feel better about this.”I hesitated, but I couldn’t let it go. “It’s not your fault,” I said, my words firmer than I felt. “It's not your fault at all.”His lips twitched, but it was far from a

    Kairen's POVThe air I breathed in that evening remained thick with dampness, and the stench of blood and fear still lingered, though the fighting had long since ended. Even though the manor was now pristine and devoid of any evidence of the terrible fight that occurred, the memories still lingered in my brain, and I didn't think that anything would have been able to change that anytime soon. Todd had been quiet for most of the evening, focused on freeing the last of the prisoners trapped in the underground cells beneath the manor. Mom had said that even though she had managed to rescue some of them, she had the feeling that there were more of our kind still stuck in the manor—but she couldn't find out where for some reason.Todd had volunteered to go in search of the other prisoners and I had decided to go along with him for two reasons. One, I actually wanted to get some alone time with him and iron out some loose ends concerning his father's imprisonment. I could tell that he wasn

He hadn't spoken yet, but the look on his face was one of pure relief.I didn't even know what to feel at that point. I had gone from shocked, to grieved, and back to shocked. All I could do was watch him, knowing fully well that I was completely dumbfounded to say or do anything else until I was sure of what was happening.“I guess Roman took my healing, and you,” Mom turned to me, smiling for the first time since she saw her son's supposedly dead body, “and you took my gift of sight.”“Sight?” I asked quietly, pressing a shaking hand to my chest. “What do you mean by sight?”“It's what we call being able to see beyond the physical.

    Kairen's POVTo my surprise, Dad only walked over to me and ran his hand through my hair. “My daughter has found a mate. Which I find to be a very wonderful thing. She is an excellent judge of character, so I have no doubt that she wouldn't have picked this young man if she didn't see him as worthy.”The man who had spoken up earlier frowned, his face showing disgust. “You would allow your child to be with the son of the one who had tormented your kind? The one who even kept your own mate away from you?” The man's eyes trembled as he stared at Dad. As long as Dad remained the Lycan King, no one actually had the guts to be disrespectful towards him.“I would allow my child the freedom to choose.”The man sneered. “And that is why we all decided that you weren't the best choice to lead us as a society any longer. The years must have changed you . . . Made you more of a spineless diplomat than the warrior you showed us years ago when you were going after this position.”Dad didn't respo
