Nico's point of view

“ I know Wally,” I continued with my face still turned away from Aegon's.

“And he's a sadistic bastard who wouldn't waste his time on anyone once he felt they had exceeded their usefulness, and my parents are worth more to him dead than alive.”

“Surely he wouldn't be so cruel?”

Even though there was a lump in my throat and tears in my eyes, I couldn't help but smile wryly at how naive he sounded.

“ Cruelty runs in Wally's veins mixed in with his blood,” I informed him.

Aegon went silent after that, I had no idea when he left, but the next time I looked in his direction, his chair was empty.

With another heavy sigh, I turned back to face the wall and finally let the tears fall, image after image of the couple who had given me love and a home, only to meet their death because of me flashing through my mind.

Somehow I must have cried myself to sleep, because the next thing I knew, a tow headed man with furrowed brows and a frown on his face stood over me, checking m

    Nico's point of view“ You're what now?” I asked, certain that I had heard wrong.Perhaps all the sleep was finally getting to me by tampering with my hearing, but as her next words confirmed,I did hear her right.“ You need a friend,” she announced, staring me in the eye. “ And I've appointed myself to that position,” she added.“First of all I don't need a friend, I don't want a friend either, infact I'm in no way interested in any form of friendship.”“And even if I was interested, not that I am, what makes you think you're the friend I need?” I asked.She smiled at me, and for some reason I squirmed on my feet, almost as if her gaze burned through me.Uncomfortable with the feeling, I stalked past her and went to enthrone myself on the desk across the room, it was the first time I was sitting somewhere other than the bed since I had been in this room, not surprisingly it felt odd and strange.“ You need a friend.” She retraited in firm tones, coming towards me she pulled out the c

    Nico's point of view“ I assume there was no one behind you,” Ingrid cut in.“And you would be right,” I said smiling as I recalled the memory.“She took a boy wearing blood-covered clothes home, introduced him to her husband, sat him at her kitchen table, fixed him a quick meal, then drew him a bath and dug out some old clothes for him to wear,” I continued.“ Years later both she and Levin would tell me that they had known I was coming, some kind of unexplainable feeling when they woke up earlier that morning that made them understand they would have a guest in the cause of the day, and when I showed up, they both recounted feeling an unexplainable urge to take me in and do what they could for me, and they did just that.” “ For the first week, I don't think I did anything but eat and sleep, neither of them asked me any questions, not even my name.”“ They sound like amazing people,” Ingrid said.“ They were,” I assured her.“And they loved me, so much that they were willing to giv

    Aegon's point of viewFrom the bucket window in my study,I watched Nico and Ingrid walk out of the back door and head to the baobab orchard behind the palace. Nico held a big wicker basket and Ingrid held a folded blanket.They were obviously heading out for a picnic, and sure enough they settled under one of the trees with Ingrid spreading out the blanket, and Nico setting down and unpacking the basket to reveal an array of food.It was the third time this week, they did this every other day, they would come out here with more food than two people could possibly eat, sit there talking and eating until it was dark before packing up and going back in.And somehow I always found myself here watching them, of course I told myself I was only keeping an eye on Nico, he had just people he called family and was vulnerable, someone had to keep an eye on him and protect him from Ingrid, she wasn't to be trusted after all and was only trying to get her claws into him in his vulnerable state.Re

    Ingrid's point of view“ What do you mean you're not coming?” Vimon thundered from where she stood in front of my closet, glaring at me as I put finishing touches on Theo's outfit. It was a good thing she couldn't shoot beams out of her eyes, because with the glares she had been sending my way for the past quarter of an hour, I would be as charred as the outside of a medium rare steak by now.“Just like I've told you already, I'm not coming down for the celebration or party, whichever it is,” I repeated for the third time in fifteen hours.“But why???” She cried.Finally finished with getting Theo dressed, I pressed my lips to his head in a soft kiss, picked him up and turned to face his grandmother, saying;“ I already told you Vimon.”“ Humor me, tell me again,” she declared, plucking Theo from my arms and smiling at him as he gurgled and kicked his legs in the air.“ First off,” I said in reply, counting off my fingers.“ Theo's the one who's being honored,he doesn't need me there

    Ingrid's point of viewI listened carefully, wondering whether I had mis-heard and the house was just settling down like old houses do or even the wind.When the sound came again, more distinct than it had been, I knew without a doubt that its originator was a werewolf and not old house boards or the winds.I carefully stepped out of my shoes so they wouldn't make a sound and alert whoever it was to my presence and immediately tried to mind link with Aegon.If I had taken a moment to think,I would have tried to mind link with either Kane or Vimon, but I wasn't thinking so I went for the first person that popped into my head.... Aegon.He and I used to spend hours talking about everything and nothing when we were younger, so although I hadn't done so in years, it was quite easy to mind link with him.What? He demanded as soon as I was able to reach him.Aegon, please Aegon you have to come to the south wing, there's an intruder,” I cried.Swiftly and without a word, he shut down the mi

    Ingrid's point of viewVimon opened her mouth to speak, but I beat her to it.I was fed up with Aegon's accusations and insults, and I let him know it, before his mother could do it for me.“ENOUGH AEGON, ENOUGH!!!!!” I bellowed, getting to my feet and going toe to toe with him.“ For the past nine months, you've done nothing but insult at every opportunity you get, and not only am I sick and tired of it, I'm also fed up.” He was so shocked at my vehemence that he took a step back and looked like a fly could knock him over.Not wanting to give him any space to retreat, I took a step forward and covered the space he had gained, I was almost standing on his feet.“ You call me a slut and a whore every chance you get, but we both know who deserves that title, you're the one who goes around sticking your penis in every vagina you can find, even under your so-called girlfriend's nose.”“ Yes, I see it all,” I answered the question that came into his eyes as the last sentence left my lips.

    Ingrid's POV Protector of the jeweiThe texts spoke of an ancient guardian tied to the Jewel of Light. A protector no, a curse bearer. One who fell from grace when the first pact between humans and wolves was broken centuries ago.And I, somehow, had triggered that story’s next chapter.But why?What made me different?Why had the jewel called to me?The door creaked open behind me.I turned instantly, muscles tense, wolf alert. But it wasn’t an intruder.It was Vimon.She didn’t speak right away. Just stepped inside and shut the door behind her with a soft thud.“I know you’re not okay,” she said quietly.I bit my lip, fighting the urge to cry again. I was so tired of crying.“I don’t want to talk about him.”“I wasn’t going to bring him up,” she said, walking closer. “I came because I found something.”She reached into the folds of her cloak and pulled out a small, jagged shard blue, glowing faintly.My breath caught.“That’s from the jewel,” I whispered.Vimon nodded. “And it reek

    Aegon’s POVThe scent of blood still lingered in the air.Not fresh… but recent enough to haunt me.I stood at the edge of the hallway where Ingrid had stumbled into the house just hours ago, shaken, pale, her eyes glazed with a kind of fear I hadn’t seen in her since the war with the rogue packs. And she hadn’t said much not really. Just parts and Pieces.The library.A man.A shadow.A voice she recognized but couldn’t name.She had trembled in my arms, and for once… she hadn’t pulled away.But now, as the full moon drew closer, so did the weight of my failures. The cracks I had put in her. The pain I had inflicted, knowingly and not. It was in the way she winced when she moved. The way her voice wavered when she said she didn’t see his face.And gods help me, it was in the way she didn’t look at me when she passed by.“Alpha.” Nico’s voice snapped me out of the trance. He stood at the end of the hallway, brows furrowed, jaw clenched tight. “We need to talk.”I gave a curt nod and f

    The Shattering ThreadAegon’s POVThe moon had begun its silent climb, inching over the horizon with a dreadful glow, tainting the clouds with shades of blood and silver. Even before I saw it, I felt it. The pull. The pressure in my chest that intensified with every breath. The pack was restless wolves pacing, growling lowly under their breath, instincts sharpening.I stood at the balcony, the stone cold beneath my palms, eyes fixed on the treetops beyond the palace walls. Hoia Baciu was cloaked in fog and shadow, as though it too braced itself for what was coming. The air was thick, electric. And I knew we were out of time.A low knock at the door pulled me from my thoughts. I didn’t have to turn around to know it was Nico.“She’s not getting any better,” he said, his voice quiet but heavy with urgency. “And if tonight really is what we think it is... we might lose her.”My fingers clenched against the stone.“I won’t let that happen,” I said, but even to my own ears, the promise fel

    The Calm Before the StormAegon POV The air had changed. It carried a strange pressure, thick like fog yet dry like ash. My wolf stirred beneath my skin, unsettled. I stood by the window, watching the moon slowly climb, not yet full but dangerously close.I could feel it tonight would be different.Theo lay asleep in the other room. For his sake, I hoped nothing happened. But deep down, I knew hope was a luxury none of us could afford anymore.There was something coming. Something ancient and Something dark.IngridI felt the pulse before I saw the moon.It throbbed in my chest like a second heartbeat, louder than blood, louder than breath. I gripped the windowsill, the cold biting into my palms. Something was wrong.I wasn’t just afraid, I was being warned.Whispers curled through the corners of my mind. Not words, not exactly just echoes of pleas Screams. The Jewel of Light hummed from wherever it was hidden, responding to the rise of the full moon. I didn’t know what it meant but

    preparing for the full MoonNico & Vimon's POVThe air was thick with tension as the days inched closer to the full moon. The scent of magic had grown stronger, more pungent, crawling along the wind like a warning whispered through the trees. Nico stood at the edge of the forest, eyes narrowed on the horizon where the blood moon would soon rise, heralding chaos.Something was wrong. Deeply wrong.Vimon had sensed it too—her instincts prickling like needles beneath her skin, each breath laced with unease. They had both kept watch over Ingrid, noting every tremor in her step, every flicker of unnatural pain behind her eyes. The mate bond was breaking her apart, but more than that, it was as though something more dangerous had taken hold of her soul.And now, they had only days before the full moon. The night when power surged, when darkness stirred from the roots of the earth, hungry for blood and legacy.Nico turned to Vimon, who stood beside him, arms crossed tightly. She wore a cloak

    the confrontation Aegon's POV The air was thick with tension as Aegon stormed through the halls of the pack house, his mind racing, his heart pounding with fury and confusion. Every step felt like a punishment. His thoughts were clouded with the image of Ingrid her hurt, her pain, the betrayal that had cut deep into both of them. But now there was something else consuming him, something that gnawed at the edge of his mind like an insistent whisper.Dagna.Her face, her actions everything about her reeked of manipulation, of a calculated attempt to get what she wanted. And now, Aegon was beginning to piece together the darker truth of her involvement in all of this. He had been blinded by his own pride and confusion but the time for denial was over.He found her in one of the sitting rooms, standing by the window, her back to him as she stared out at the darkening landscape. The moon was rising, casting its eerie glow over everything, a reminder of the night to come, the night that w

    The breaking point Aegon’s Reaction Aegon had been carrying a weight he could no longer ignore, though he tried his hardest to bury it under layers of indifference and pride. The moon was rising, and with it, so was the tension that had coiled tightly in his chest ever since he had betrayed Ingrid.The moment he had slept with Dagna the woman who had once been his lover, the woman who was now out for revenge he had convinced himself it was all a mistake. That it didn’t mean anything. But deep down, somewhere far beneath the surface, he knew the truth. It meant something, at least to her. To Ingrid.He’d convinced himself that he was still in control. He was the Alpha and The leader. The one who made the rules. But every time he saw Ingrid every time he felt the pull of their bond. it became harder to keep up the lie.When he had returned that night, his blood still buzzing with the memory of Dagna’s touch, he had expected Ingrid to be asleep, to avoid him as she usually did. He hadn
