Jude’s POV
“Let’s go check on her!” whined Elijah for the millionth time.
“Stop it! I’m not going yet. It’s early” I scolded him.
Ever since I left the room, six hours ago, Elijah has been nagging at me non stop.
“She’s in pain Jude! Have some fucking compassion!” he growled.
“Yeah? She should have that of that before lashing out and refusing to submit to me! She deserves some pain. Maybe that will remind her to keep her mouth in control and disobeying me again” I said in satisfaction.
“You are so cruel… and selfish! She’s not used to having an alpha. She has been living packless and trapped in one place for the past eighteen years. She was already being controlled by her mother without even knowing why. She doesn’t want to be forced by anyone again, not to mention her complete suspicions of your intentions for her!” snarled Elijah ac
Jude’s POVI arrive into my living quarters just as one of the servants was leaving a trolley with dinner on it outside of the door, like I instructed.This time it was a dinner for two. Both of us already skipped lunch and I barely had anything at breakfast.Feeding my prisoner once a day wasn’t going to raise a lot of suspicions. It just means I’m keeping her alive to prolong her torment.I open the main door into my place, get the trolley inside, and lock the door with my key.It was another precaution to make sure we’re not being spied on.“Come on, come on, move already!” Elijah was complaining in agitation, practically drooling just to catch a whiff of her addicting scent to satisfy his hunger for her.I roll my eyes and make my way towards my bedroom.I open the door without looking at her, bring the trolley inside next to the small dining table, and close the door.I finally tu
Davina’s POVWith just one confession, he changed my entire plan, my entire feelings, my entire perception of him.Rowena was beyond the moon after hearing that he finally started to care about us and no longer resisted the mate bond. That he wanted to accept us as a mate and stand by our side.While I, I was still stuck on the prophecy he just told me about.I was their downfall and destruction. Not just him, but his entire pack.No wonder he hated me so profoundly at the beginning. I hated me much more now.How many lives am I worth?Just for being the violet eyed werewolf.Just for having an ultimate weapon I know nothing about and nothing on how to even use it.I had already caused my mother’s death and got my sister taken, goddess knows how much she was suffering right now because of me.And now he wants to lead his own pack down that deadly path, take himself, and fulfill that sick twisted prophe
Davina’s POVWe settled back down on the chairs after the submission ritual. I had no idea how he was going to react when he hears about his beta. He is going to flip out. But I didn’t want him to ruin everything in a fit of anger and kill his beta right away, that might end up disastrous for Irena. I wasn’t even sure that his beta was alpha evil’s spy in the first place. “You’re scared” Jude’s voice interrupted my train of thought. He wasn’t asking, he was trying to read the emotions on my face. “I am” I said in a low voice. If his own beta was working against him, goddess knows who else is not loyal to him, who else is going to betray him because they are trying to get to me through him. “Of me?” he asked tightly. I looked up at him and saw him dreading my answer. I could tell how guilty he feels for everything he put me through. But forgiveness doesn’t come that easily to
Jude’s POVI was standing in front of the glass wall, gazing at the dark forest, gazing without actually seeing anything as I was still trying to register everything Davina just dropped on me like a bomb.My mind was racing trying to understand how my own beta could have the nerve to work against me.It’s true I never felt closer to him because he was very much older than me, I always confided in Ian first then went to him for advice later, he wasn’t the one I always went to for problems, but that doesn’t give him the right to work with my enemy to end me.The servant James was understandable. He was a weak old man and he had family within that pack. Controlling him was very easy and guaranteed. But what was Robert’s reasons for doing this. Did he promise him my position?That must be it. Davina said he wanted to take down all the alphas and assign ones he trusts to be loyal to him.I clench my hands into tight
Davina’s POVMy father?Why does that word sound so foreign to me?It was like he spoke in another language.My mind refused to pass that information or process it.Probably because whatever he still had to say was going to tear me apart.I stayed frozen for many minutes staring at him with my face stricken, unable to form any coherent words to reply to him, while he; along with Jude and Ian, gave me all the time I needed to register what he just said.He was scared of my reaction, I could tell.Why though? That didn’t make any sense. For someone who left my mom, abandoned and rejected her, never contacted us even though apparently he knew of our existence unlike what my mom claimed, his fear of my reaction made no sense.All his actions implied that he never cared about any of us.Yet, I find him in my mate’s pack after all those years of abandonment, a beta with a lot of power and a good positi
Jude’s POV“Don’t say that Davina please! I love you so much please don’t…” Robert was openly crying in pain as he begged his daughter while she continued her vicious assault on his chest.I got up from my chair and approached them with Ian on the other side, ready to contain the situation but giving Davina and Robert a chance to reconcile.My mind was still reeling from the unexpected discovery of many things. But I didn’t have time to ponder over them right now.Right now all I could feel was the immense sense of betrayal and heartbreak seeping into me through the bond.Davina was hurting really bad and was channeling all that hurt into anger; which wasn’t the best outlet.“That’s not true, if you loved us you wouldn’t have walked away, no matter what!” she shouted at him in rage.“If you and mom told me the truth since the beginning, if I knew how much d
Jude’s POVI stayed awake for a long time after Davina slept.Not by choice of course, it was because my mind was running at a hundred miles per hour.The Prophecy Robert mentioned kept playing over and over again on repeat. Particularly the last line.‘The future alpha of the golden valley pack will be her salvation”I was her salvation and she was my downfall, could this get any more ironic?“What about the other one? About marking each other and sealing the mate bond? What do you think that’s all about?” asked Elijah curiously.Of course he would be stuck on that part. He was practically day dreaming of marking her ever since he laid eyes on her.“Can you blame me? I mean take whiff of her scent dude! It’s divine I haven’t smelled anything like it before. Tell me you don’t wish you could bury your head deep into that smell and never let go, I dare you” taunted
Davina’s POVThey were all looking at me like I just spoke in a different language or something.“Her what?” asked Jude with raised eyebrows and a small smirk I felt like he was really trying to hide.“Her….grimoire. You know like… a spell book where you write down all the spells you know how to do so that people like me can benefit from that. It’s called a grimoire… or at least that’s what the people from the vampire diaries call it” I explained awkwardly.Again… it felt like I spoke in another language as they all stared at me with confusion on their faces.I sighed in frustration and said “Never mind apparently there is no such thing”“No don’t give up right away, just because I’ve never seen her holding a spell book before doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. Maybe it’s still in her room. I kept everything as it is after she di

The Moon Goddess’s POV I stand there on the balcony, as the slightly cold wind plays with my hair and white dress. I was watching my beautiful child from afar, Davina. She has grown into the best version of herself now, no longer lost, hurt, scared, hopeless, nor unhappy. She was wearing an alluring long, off shoulder straps, red dress. Her hair cascading down her back, shiny and straight, was being blown by the wind, giving her a look of a queen, which she most certainly was. She just stepped outside to the balcony attached to the ball room where she was just introduced to her whole pack as their Luna, and Jude’s official mate. The pack, after witnessing everything that took place on that field this morning, and how she went through hell and back to bring back their alpha, welcomed her with arms wide open and bowed down to her, vowing to always respect and protect her. Not that she was incapable of protecting herself. The ball was just about to end and Davina wanted to catch som
Jude’s POV“Holy shit! I still can’t believe everything you just told me” I said in wide disbelief as my mind tried to make sense of everything that happened after I died.We were all gathered in my bedroom. Davina was still sleeping deeply against my chest while I absently played with her silky long hair.Robert, Ian, and Irena were all sitting next to each other at the foot of the bed, facing us.I suspected Davina would turn dark due to my demise, but I didn’t expect it would go this far. She killed all the alphas, plus Robert’s sister and she did it all without an ounce of hesitation.“It could have been worse, honestly. I mean for a minute there, everyone truly believed that she was going to side with Lucy and destroy everyone who stands in her way, including us. Her love for you kept her sane thank goddess” said Ian in relief.“It wasn’t that” said Irena disagreeably.“What then?” I asked her curiously.“Her love for you is what turned her dark. She was gone, consumed wholly by
Davina’s POV With every ounce of concentration I had in me, and using every shred of power I could muster from my wolf Rowena; which she so willingly gave to me, I started casting what was probably the strongest spell that ever existed until now. It took a considerable amount of time to be performed. The incantation was complicated to read and very long, but I pronounced all the words with complete precision and focus, willing my entire being to believe that I will be able to pull it off. I finished the last word and I swear, my heart was going to explode out of anticipation. My eyes froze on Jude’s face. The seconds were stretching out to an unbearable degree. Then I felt it. The most intense pressure started building within me. The power that surged through me whenever I cast a spell usually wasn’t painful or anything, but this time it was. The power that claimed me whole like never before, was tearing me apart from the inside out. The power was slowly destroying my insides,
Davina’s POVThankfully, Robert didn’t say another word and stayed quiet as his tears rolled down his face with heart breaking agony for me.I turned to my aunt, extended my hand to her, and said sweetly “Shall I show you inside my pack house aunt Lucy? I’m dying to show you the grimoires I have in my room. There is a certain spell book that you will particularly love to read. It has so many dark spells that I’m dying to try with you by my side. We are going to rule the werewolf world and enslave them all like they did to you”She laughed a long evil laugh as she held my extended hand and we started walking together inside the gate.The second she entered through the shield, I cast a freezing spell on her.I let go of her frozen grip and stood in front of her with my arms crossed in front of me in mock triumph.“What the…?!” she gasped in confusion.“What’s wrong aunt Lucy? Can’t move anymore?” I asked in fake innocence.She gaped at me with her mouth open in disbelief.I widened my e
Davina’s POV I look at the remaining two alphas with coldness that made them shiver and tremble in place. They looked at each other and at the same time, knelt down on their knees in front of me. “You think this will get you off the hook? How about you start begging, and I might consider it” I said tauntingly. Their fighters were staring at them in complete shock and astonishment. An alpha never kneels to anyone, even if his life depended on it. Apparently, they valued their lives much more than their own self respect and dignity. Let’s see how far they can go to save their own fleshes. They were staring at me with huge wide eyes, wondering if I was being serious or not. I decided to let them know exactly how serious I am. To be honest, I was biding my time. I was trying to find the best way to kill Lucy. I was a hundred percent sure that she couldn’t be attacked, just like me. She must have taken her precautions and cast a shield around herself, nothing can go through that. “I
Davina’s POVWho the hell is Lucy?I thought to myself. I inspected her face as my brain tried to place if I had met with her before or not. It came up empty.She had short brown hair and deep cold blue eyes.The eyes.There was a familiarity to that particular shade of blue.And then it hit me.Lucy, Robert’s warlock sister. The one who discovered that I am the violet eyed werewolf in the first place. The one who tried to protect me. The one who hid me from everyone and made my warlock side dormant for my own good.But wait a damn minute! Isn’t she supposed to be…“Dead! I thought you were dead!” said Robert in shock.Lucy laughed evilly at her brother and said excitedly “Well, dear brother, clearly I’m not. I’m very much alive as you can see. Sorry I’m not into hugging anymore, too much drama is bad for my mental health these days”Robert was giving her a hard angry look as he said stiffly “You’ve gone dark. You uncast the spells on Davina and caused her to be exposed by everyone fu
Davina’s POVI thought I felt all the loss I could ever feel when I watched my mom die right in front of my eyes. I thought that nothing could ever measure up to that painful loss ever again.But I was so wrong.So very wrong.Imagine the pain I felt when she died and multiply that amount with infinity, and you wouldn’t even get close to how I felt the moment I saw Jude’s neck snap and his lifeless body hit the ground with a thud. The moment I felt the mate bond sever forever.The pain….. The pain was… indescribable. There weren’t even enough words in all the languages of the world combined to convey it properly and do it any justice.Five seconds of complete silence filled the entire place. Everyone was frozen in time. Shocked to even breath or blink.And then it happened. I felt it for the first time.The darkness. Calling me. Claiming me. Controlling me.And what did I do? I let it.My light was gone with Jude’s loss, with his… death, and someone needs to pay for it. Not someone, e
Jude’s POV As the guns went off, not a single person from my pack nor the people standing next to me flinched by an inch. We all stood unmoving and unafraid. The bullets hit the invisible wall just as expected without making any sound, then fell down to the ground right where they collided with the wall. A triumphant smug smile claimed my lips in satisfaction as I saw all the blood drain from every single face. Dominic was the first to recover as he yelled “Warlocks attack!” “Nothing can go through a barrier circle spell, not even magic” one of the warlocks among the crowd said and I could detect a hint of admiration and respect in her voice. Dominic growled in fury as his eyes never left mine. He was speechless, unable to find a solution to beat me now. “Now that we’ve established your huge disadvantage here, I’ll ask you to lay down your weapons and surrender. I’m willing to let you all leave today despite your traitorous intents for me and my mate as one last act to prove to
