Liliana’s POV

I awaken in a dark, damp cellar, the air heavy with the scent of earth and mildew. They fill the air with a depressing foul stench. I squint my eyes and shake my head, allowing recent memories to flood my thoughts.

Then I remember. The crowd, Antonio, the sorceress, Bella, Ava and the syringe.

I try to move only to find that I am bound to the cellar wall by chains. A test of the chains’ strength tells me that they have silver embedded in them. Damn. The silver elements are a wolf’s worst nightmare; they weaken us.

But I cannot be here!

Desperation fills me, and I struggle against the chains, attempting to break free. What effort I make, is deemed with no progress. I still am bound.

Power, Money, Longevity….I have everything except for one thing. My mate.Devastation fills me to the core. It feels as if all the world around me has lost its colour, with only grey hues of despair replacing it. I once read a discussion about which was the worst pain; severe emotional or severe physical pain. The article had come to no conclusions. Now I see why. One always brought the other. I actually feel as if I have been knifed through the heart. I feel the urge to shout, to run away, but I cannot. I have lands to conquer, an empire to run, I have a future to build, even if it is a future without

I take a deep breath and let out a raspy cough before slowly feeling my healing factor kick in. The wounds start to close and my skin starts to mend, albeit strangely slow. I shudder to think what would have happened if I did not have my healing faction.I could have died.But I am not dead. I am alive, and for that I am grateful. Now all I need to do is get out of here and find my way back to Kaden, find the pack doctor and…”Aieeee!”A hand clamps over my mouth. “Shhh…they’ll hear us!”It is Marcus, Kaden’s Beta.I swat his hand away and hiss, “Marcus, what are you doing here?”He leans back and looks waril

YOU!!!!!!” The silence is abruptly shattered by Aunt Celine's blood-curdling scream and she lunges at me with a murderous rage in her eyes.I stumble, weakened and in pain, as she relentlessly attacks me.

I am only twenty-one but I feel as if I am over a century old. Goodness, is this what ageing humans feel like all the time?“We’re almost there, Liliana,” Venice, the chambermaid says softly as she guides me along. I wince a little before nodding.I am battered and broken; physically, mentally and emotionally but I do not cry in front of her. She sets me down on Kaden’s king-sized bed and I give her a wane smile. The room is dimly lit, with four walls of blurred shadows, but it could have been decorated with balloons and flowers for all I care right now.“Would you like something to drink?” Venice asks, concerned. She does not want to leave me alone.

The bar is loud and full of people swaying to the hectic tune that the DJ is spinning. I am not exactly in a mood to party but I find myself weaving my way through the crowd and onwards towards the bartender’s table.I quietly take an empty seat and wearily look around. The place holds memories of a different time, a time when I was blissfully unaware of the chaos that would unravel my life. A time when all was as simple as A, B, C.I think back to one of my lessons with Evander. He had taught me the theory of the butterfly effect, he taught me of what I have come to experience. This place...this is where it all began. The little butterfly that now is two universes colliding,

Screaming once more, I flip around and lash out a leg only to have my foot caught by two strong hands, hands that had once held mine before, hands that have given me nothing but love and care. Landon’s hands. Amidst the chaos of the storm, my eyes widen in disbelief as I see Landon materialize by my side. His familiar presence frays my nerves. In an instant, he picks me up, his strong arms wrapping around me protectively. I am safe. Landon holds me close, a silent reassurance that echoes louder than words.

    Liliana’s POVI hang from the cave ceiling, cold chains biting into my fur. The cave is dark and damp, hewn from rough stone. The air is heavy with the smell of dampness and ancient stone, and a chill breeze rushes through the cavern.Stalactites loom above, and below me, sitting on the uneven ground of rocks is a glass chalice.Drip, drip, drip my blood goes into the glass, creating a tiny swirl of dark red liquid. The irony of it, I am staring at my life force draining away, pooling into the glass below. "You are the key to my great plans," the Sorceress says, a dark silhouette against the dim cave backdrop. Her words echo off the cave walls.What does she think she is, a vampire?The Sorceress chuckles as she emerges from the shadows and stops right in front of the glass chalice. He bends over ever so slightly and picks it up, holding it nearer to my gaping wound.Her eyes glint with an unsettling mix of power and malevolence as she looks into the glass. "Every drop of your blood

No human would survive the leap. But I am not a mere human. I am a wolf.My regenerative system is miraculous, if you believe in miracles-- which I do not. I can be stabbed in the arm with a knife and heal within minutes without scarring. But if I were to jump off this cliff and accidentally have some stump fo a tree pierce my heart while landing, then maybe I would die.But both Landon and Kaden had taken the leap before. And they survived."This can't be that bad," I say to myself taking in a deep breath. I prepare for the jump. Digging the soles of my right foot into the ground, I shove myself off the rocky surface with such force that I become airborne.Midair, limbs spread, I feel the gust of wind against my face. The world blurs around me as I plummet towards the ground. Adrenaline courses through my veins, every

Something is wrong, very wrong.With three short strides, I reach the door but before I can reach for the doorknob, Evander intervenes, his hand outstretched to stop me.His grip is firm. He tilts his head slightly, a silent query etched on his face. Our eyes lock, a silent exchange laden with unspoken questions."Where do you think you're going?" Evander asks.I take a deep breath. "I need to go back to the cave. I think we missed something there." The words escape in a rush. My gaze remains fixed on Evander, seeking understanding in the depths of his eyes.“The cave?”“Yes, the one where Liliana met the Sorceress.”Evander frowns a little before his expression shifts, registering a blend of understanding and shared worry. He nods in acknowledgment, releasing
