Liliana’s POV

“Yes, I know the painter.”

I stare down at my trembling hands.

“You did?” a whisper escapes my lips.

Evander's gaze, momentarily drawn away from the painting, meets mine. "Yes. I met her once when I was very young," he begins, the memories echoing in his words. "She painted my portrait."

My heart starts to pound in my chest as I listen, latching on to every word that spills out of Evander’s lips. "It seems she painted a lot, if not all, of the family's portraits," he continues.

“How did she look like?” I stand in the hallway with my breath held.

Evander’s brows furrow as they always do when he is thinking and he looks at the portrait as if trying to picture the artist’s face. "Piercing blue eyes," he finally says and I almost collapse to the floor.

Goddess. Surely it cannot be the same person. Surely it –

“She had flaming red hair."

Wait.

The contradiction catches me off guard, a subtle jolt of dissonance in the narrative. Red hair contradicts the librarian's depiction

    Kaden’s POVThe bottom of the cliff stretches before us, a desolate expanse with rugged rocks and twisted roots jutting out from the damp soil. The air is damp and the surroundings are cloaked in a veil of darkness. The place is quiet too, it seems as if the creatures of the forest do not like this place.Well, neither do I.Landon and I scour the area, leaving no stones unturned and covering every inch of the uneven ground. The rocks are slick with moisture, and the gnarled branches of the surrounding trees cast long shadows that seem to dance in the fading daylight. But there is no sign of the Sorceress."No blood," Landon observes. "No tracks, nothing. It is as if she vanished into thin air."I look up towards the looming cliff above us. No one, not even a wolf could have fallen this distance and survived unscathed.“It makes no sense,” I growl, kicking away a stone. It flies from the ground and smashes into the side of the cliff’s wall. “There has to be something.”“Unless she did

As are they.With all my might, and against Cathy’s will, I push Evander away. I gasp, grabbing the edge of the bed frame and try to pull myself up, my breath slicing in and out of my chest. I am going crazy, I must be.‘No, you’re not. You’re in heat,’ Cathy reminds me, ready for some action. My body rebels against me and it drives me to my knees. I fall and Evander quickly pulls me up.“Liliana…” he calls, his voice husky. Too husky.I shake my head, pulling my hand away from him. Another hand grabs my arm, pulling me up. It is Landon and his scent overwhelms me. I fight againt it, a snarl leaving my lips unti

    Kaden’s POVI find myself alone in the garden, the night air hanging heavy with the scent of flowers and the pungent allure of freshly lit tobacco. I lean against the wrought iron railing, gazing up at the moon as if it holds the answer to the universe's questions. In my hand, a cigarette holds lazily between my fingers, a feeble attempt at finding solace in the swirls of smoke that fade into the night.The flicker of flames cast a glow on the foliage, creating dancing shadows that mimic the chaos inside my head. Why on earth did I run to Liliana, ready to get myself tangled in a threesome with my cousins? I ponder the absurdity of it all, as if the moon might offer some answers.‘Couldn't resist, could you?’ my wolf chimes in, his voice dripping with sarcasm.I scowl, taking a drag of my cigarette. ‘Resist what?’‘Don’t

Thank the Moon Goddess I survived this, I cannot bear to think of what would happen if I had succumbed to my desires in Evander’s room.I would have regretted it.‘Would you?’ Cathy asks. She still thinks a threesome would have been great but I beg to differ. I cannot just sleep with three men without knowing who it is that my heart belongs to.‘You know what? You’re a weirdo. Here the Moon Goddess has blessed you with three mates, three fucking hot mates, and not just any mates, they are the Frost heirs, the greatest of the greats in all the lands and yet here you are, laying in bed bemoaning who you should choose,’ Cathy scowls. ‘Just take the three of them on!’I shake my head and rise from my bed, quickly slipping out of my blouse and pants before changing into s fresh new set of clothes.Suddenly, I hear a roar.My brows furrow.

    Liliana’s POV Venice opens the door and a chill creeps into the room.“Let’s go,” she says, opening the door wider ad the hinges seem to echo with a haunting sound. My mind is playing tricks on me, I must have watched one too many horror movies.I stand at the threshold of the door, feeling strangely trapped. It strikes me odd that Venice’s confidence seems to have increased a thousand fold. The Venice that I knew before would never have talked like this or acted like this.‘Perhaps this is because she has Kaden’s backing now,’ Cathy says, though I can feel her unease as well.“You said your mother spoke of a lady…did she tell you her name?”“No, but I know she would be very happy to see you.” Venice’s answer is ridiculously vague. "Come, Liliana. Let’s not keep my mother waiting," she urges and steps through the door.There is a pause before I reluctantly follow her and step into the dimly lit hallway. The door closes behind me with a soft thud, severing the connection to the safety

    Landon’s POVThe wind whispers through the towering trees as I stand at the bottom of the cliff, staring at the swaying branches of trees. Liam, my wolf asks, "Are you here because you cannot bear to be near Liliana?"I cross my arms across my chest and exhale. All my life, I have been told how responsible I am, how powerful, how diligent I am in ruling my pack. And in my immense humility—what a laugh—I had always lowered my eyes and shook my head, while at the same time thinking that I must, in fact, be quite extraordinary. I excelled in my studies. I worked hard. I helped my father expand the territory of the Southlands. I helped everyone and anyone who needed help.That is the crux of the matter right there. I performed these good works, but I did so mainly to reinforce my image. This does not mean I am completely evil—it only means that I am only a mere werewolf.My reaction in the wake of Liliana’s heat made it all to clear just how imperfect I am.

The corridor unfolds before me, shadows dancing in the dim light, and within the shadows, a figure races across the corridor.Odd.Why would a maid, clad in nothing but a hastily draped bath towel run around in middle of the night?Instinct propels me to pursue her but I don't. I look back to where she had emerged from and my lips turn into a thin line. Kaden’s room. Just what on earth has my cousin been up to?‘Fucking the maid maybe? Better than jerking yourself off in the bathroom you know,’ Eden, my wolf quips.I sigh. Why did Eden have to remind me of Liliana?And speaking of the devil…From down the corridor, I hear Liliana's door creak open. My heart q

She does not need to say a word; I can feel evil surrounding her, corrupting the very air that I breathe in.She pauses above me with a ferocious grin, and then extends her hands. Threads, like tendrils of shadow, materialize around me and my body cramps involuntarily, as if I am suddenly drowning in dry ice.She begins to pull the threads, slowly at first, and then faster and faster. It hurts, it hurts so much.I try to scream, but my voice catches in my throat, not even a sound can escape my lips.The threads start to turn red.Blood red.Her grin widens and I realize that these are not threads of fabric – they are threads of my blood.Slowly, I feel my life force being drawn out, as if my veins are unravelling.

He reaches me and places a gentle kiss on my forehead and around us, the council members share chuckles, breaking the seriousness of the meeting.“Alpha Liliana, would you like us to step out of the meeting room and give you some space?” one of the elders asks, covering the smile on his lips with the palm of his hand.I look at him and feel my cheeks flush red. “No, no, we are fine.

The gentle breeze whispers through the grass, and the air carries the sweet fragrance of nature. It is a tranquil haven, the view of it contrasting the chaotic world I left behind.But what is this place? Heaven? Or hell?I push myself up and rise from the flowers to find the warmth of the sunlight casting a golden glow over the meadow. Butterflies dance in the air and a distant murmur of a babbling brook complements the soothing ambiance.Okay….this definitely cannot be hell.My hand touches the grass beneath men they are soft and soothing to touch and I take in a deep breath. It is a moment of calm, a pause in the relentless storm that has marked my recent journey.My eyes roam the place meadow and settle on a woman by the stream. She is playing with the water, gently sploshing her hand back and forth in the stream. There seems to be no one else but her.I get up on my feet, noting

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. "We've got you," he whispers, his voice steady. I bury my face in his chest and let out a stifled sob. I am safe. Another hand lands on my shoulder but this time I do not scream. "You're safe now," Evander’s voice rings out in the cave and I lift my head up see his face staring back at mine. Ever so gently, he cups my cheek in his

    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
