Darius' POVI know we need our army in America. Many vampires are in the city but are not as strong as mine in Europe. I know Iona does not like our army leaving our house. She doesn't like it when the castle is alone and nobody is there to protect it. I know she's afraid somebody will go in there and put a curse on us. There are many gypsies around our area. If they take over the castle, we are doomed. I do not want that to happen. But what can we do? We have to get rid of Gabby and her family. I know that is what Iona wants. I'm trying to switch off my emotions regarding Gabby, but it is challenging, as she was always my favorite daughter. If Madison Blair can work with us, we will not need to bring our witches here. I can't stay in Europe, protecting our castle. However, how do we convince Madison to work with us? She was adamant that she would never use her magic again unless she were training witches. "We need a bigger army. We must bring some of our vampires here if we can only
Gabby's POV"I always thought that my mother was the one who was trying to convince my father not to be so cruel. My mother always seemed caring and loving. I cannot believe that she is the one behind it all. When I came to think of it, she always told my father what to do. I know she loves younger men and feeds on them. I never saw it, but I could always hear their screams. I always thought that my father had something to do with it. But now that you mentioned it, it was always her who was covered in blood. She doesn't care what she does to other people. All she cares about is herself. I was always my father's favorite child, and I could not understand why he was going after me. I thought he was angry with me for falling in love with one of his greatest enemies. I do not know what you want to do with Bonita. However, everything you have told me makes so much more sense. My mother is not a good person. I know that because she has always gone after everybody that hurt her family. And I
Victor's POVI have noticed that Xavier and his vampires are getting closer to our pack at night. Xavier thinks we do not know them but can feel and smell them. Marilyn is trying to find a weak spot in our barrier. It is a shame that she does not realize that she is not more intelligent or potent than us. She should have learned her lesson by now if she had not learned it. First, she got beaten up when she came here with Oscar, and now with Darius. I do not know if Marilyn has a new friend trying to help her. One day, while patrolling the border, I see an old witch looking at me with a bottle of vodka."It would be effortless for me to break this barrier. I am Madison Blair, and I am here to warn you. Darius is trying his best to recruit me. However, I gave up black magic a long time ago. I am just teaching the younger witches, but I do not let them become as powerful as I was. I'm a drunk old witch who has nothing left in this world. But I am not evil anymore. I do not know if you kn
Bonita's POVI noticed the dark witch when we got to the border area. She always visited my family and asked me if I was okay and happy. Of course, I have always lied, but I think you knew I lied. She once warned my family that if they do not look after me the way she wants, she will come after them. I did not understand then why I was so important to her. I know now it was because I was adopted. Was she looking after me? I remember my father and Oscar's father charging her away and telling her never to show her face at the pack again. She laughed at them and left, but occasionally, I would see her watch me from the bushes, and she would always bring me something to eat or a plaything, which my sister would take from me. Camilla always wanted what was mine. That is why she took Oscar. "I have known you from my childhood. You always looked after me," I say. "Of course I did, Bonita. I promised your mother I would always keep an eye on you. She did not want to know where you were beca
Madison's POVI feel tears coming to my eyes, seeing all these people who are willing to forgive me for a sin that I think is unforgivable. I do not know what I have done to deserve all this forgiveness from people I have met over the years. Robin and I met in Europe long ago, and I helped him and his men escape many predicaments. Robin is a very hard-headed young man who will endanger his life to save others. He only does that because he wants to get to Darius and Iona. They have killed his family. I know it hurts him a lot, thinking about his family that died at the hands of the originals. I know there is no original vampire, but Iona does. Robin told me everything he knew about the original family long ago. I know Iona will die to have the bloodstone, but it can never be in her hands. We walk inside, and I take a sip of my vodka, but suddenly, it doesn't taste as good as it always does. I take the bottle, and I throw it in a bin. I had enough. I feel more relaxed. I feel almost li
Madison's POV"I can see that you are afraid. I don't want you to be scared of me. I know what you have done. Madison, but you have not intervened in my works here on Earth. You protected yourself. So you killed the king of the gypsies. What woman would not kill a man who tried to force himself on her? I was very angry with the king. In the first place, you and Duke should have been together forever. The king intervened in a love I gave you and Duke. It broke my heart to see you so broken. Duke rejected you because of his father. I know gypsies are free lovers, but I wanted it to change. I wanted him to see what true love is and wanted them to realize that they don't have to live the way they did. Not all gypsies are like that. I tried to save their tribe, but they didn't want to listen to me. I wanted to talk to you so many times, but I couldn't reach you because you were always drinking and didn't want to talk to me. I know you think you wanted to talk to me, but you didn't. You wer
Madison's POVI get up from where I was sitting, and everything feels different. I walk through the clear water and look at my reflection. I am young. I feel more powerful, and my heart feels lighter. It is as if all the darkness is out of me. I can feel the wolf inside of me. I do not know if she's happy to be with me because I have not seen a word yet. I know it will come later. Perhaps she has to get used to me like I have to get used to having her with me. I know the dark magic is gone, and if the vampires get a hold of me now, they will kill me as I am of no interest to them anymore. Especially Darius and his evil wife, Iona, will not hesitate to kill me. I will not help them now that I am a werewolf and a witch with a magical wolf. "Hi, I am Jade. I am so proud to be your wolf," A voice in my head says. It is a weird experience. It is like somebody is talking in your head, and you do not know where the voice is coming from. I knew a wolf was inside me, but I am rattled now that
Morris' pov"I cannot allow them to come and stay in my pack. If Victor and his mate realize I am friends with the vampires, they will not be pleased with me. Xavier, you are my friend. You have to understand that I need to gain their trust. If I can gain their trust, it will make it easier for us to get closer to them. They will know about it when our originals move into my pack house. You have to remember that they are magical wolves. They know everything that is going on in our area. I do not mind giving them a piece of land at the back of my land. They can say there is a big castle, they can fix it, and they can stay there. That is the best I can do for you. Besides, Iona freaks me out. I am terrified of her. The rest of them are fine. They are like you. We have been friends for a very long time, and you are the only one who knows that I am the son of Christopher Black. All I'm asking you and your friends is not to hurt Bonita! She is the only one I care about and want to save fro
Bonita's POVVictor and I sit on our seaside house's deck. We are watching the ocean and our grandchildren at the same time. Life has come full circle, although we don't look like round parents. We love our grandchildren. We have a lot of them. It feels like we are running a tiny school where they all visit us during the school holidays. All my children are happily married to their mates. Not all our children had six or more children, but over the last ten years, they had plenty of children who always wanted to come and visit Grandma and Grandpa. I think they want to come and visit us to play in the ocean.The cousins, brothers, and sisters together drive us crazy sometimes, but we love having them here. It is like we are rerunning a pack. We are still linked to our old pack, and our grandchildren got their wolves when they were born. Like their mothers and fathers, they can be impossible sometimes. I have what we enjoy in our lives here. We bought a big piece of land near the ocean.
Zander's POVI fear the Lycan King will not accept me as his daughter's mate. He has had bad experiences with having a magical wolf as a mate. Dean and Hannah's story did not end well. Helena and I have been seeing each other since Gabriella and Dean's ceremony. Both of us are afraid of how her father will react. We have been seeing each other in town. Sometimes, we will meet in a location where we know nobody can see us. I am waiting for her at a cafe. I know the Lycan King and my father are great friends. They have mutual respect. However, I do not see how they would feel when we tell them we are in love. Helena can choose her mat; she is a Lycan, and I am happy she felt the same about me as I thought. I have no choice. The wrong goddess picks my mate for me. I knew from the start Helena was my mate. I was glad when I told you not to choose my mate and that my wolf cannot live without her, and she told me she had fallen in love with me from the first moment she saw me. I see her wa
Dean's POVI know this will not be a long fight as we enter the ring. My brother is not prepared to fight me. He was never a warrior. He was always my mother's little boy, and my mother never wanted my father to train him. She always told my father that he was too sick to train, although my brother was never sick or weak. He was lazy. He was always a mama's boy who never wanted to do anything for himself. My mother would do everything for him, even his homework, when he got home from school and was too tired and sick to do homework. My mother always believed him, but I don't. I look at him as he is starting to dance around me. I know that he has no clue how to fight. I think of all his mates and how they must have felt when he took a new mate every time. I don't know if he has broken his previous bonds. However, he never had a child. I know I also do not have a child yet. However, it's not because I couldn't get any children. It is because my mate died, and I became a rogue. My mother
Dean's POVI am ready to fight my brother, Sean, but I know he is a coward and will not want to fight me alone. However, he has no choice now, as even the pack's warriors and elders have turned against him. Having Alpha Victor with me is also a plus. Alpha Victor and Luna Bonita are heroes among the magical wolves after they beat the vampires and drove most of them and the dark witches out of our area. I can see my brother is hesitant, but he has no choice. Sean goes to the packhouse to get ready. But I know he will also call his friends the Lycans.I don't need to prepare, as I am prepared to fight for my pack. I know they have gone through a lot, and I do not want them to go through anymore. The Lycans know very well that when I challenge Sean for the Alpha position of my pack, they are not allowed to intervene. I do not think they will intervene, and I do not believe they will help Sean. However, I do know that they will show up. I know the Lycan King hates me. He did not want me t
Dean's POVWe spent the night at Gabriella's parents' Pack and will return to our Pack in the morning. It will be tough to return to them as I do not know how the Dark Moon Pack feels about me. Perhaps they are still angry with me and do not want me to help them or become their Alpha again. It is a chance that I would take. I do believe that they don't want my brother as their Alpha anymore because I have been suffering under him for years. It is time to take on the Lycans. I do not understand why my Pack must pay for my sins. They did nothing wrong. Victor, Bonita, Gabriella, warriors, and I get ready to go to my Pack, and then we will see the Lycans. I do not know how my back will accept me, but I do hope they are glad to see me. Many of them did not want my brother to become the Alpha. However, the elders and the warriors were behind my brother, and now their daughters and sons are working for the lycans as servants. It is breaking my heart. I do not want to see my back like this.
Dean's POVI cannot believe that I have accepted Gabriella Black as my mate. I thought I would never take another mate. However, my heart and my wolf feel much better. I feel like a heavy burden has been lifted from me. I know I have to go back to my back, but first, I have to go and talk to Gabriella's parents. I cannot just take their daughter without telling them where we are going. The Dark Moon pack is on the other side of the National Park. The Lycans live near the city. I know they have been torturing my pack because of me. Hannah's father has not forgiven me. I cannot blame him. I know that he is angry with me for getting his daughter killed. I also know it's not only my fault if he had accepted us as a couple. None of this would have happened, and I would have lived happily with Hannah. I know he is not going to be impressed with me having a new mate. I do not care. We will fight our battles as they come. I have to go and save my pack. It's my fault that they are in the condi
Gabriella Jr.'s POVI ran after the man I did not know. I know he is my mate. I know he also knows it, but why is he running away from me? I don't understand what is happening here but must find him. I follow his scent. Although he's trying to hide it from me, my magical powers are so strong that I could still smell him. His magic is nothing against mine. I use my vampire speed, and I quickly catch up with him. He stops and looks at me with hostility in his eyes. "Go away. I do not want anything to do with you. Don't you get it? I do not want another mate. Hannah was the love of my life. Besides, I can not protect you if somebody wants to kill you. I am useless. Get away from me if you do not want to get hurt. I am cursed. I do not believe the moon goddess loves me. She must hate me. I have blood on my hands. I killed an innocent woman, and I killed the man who killed Hannah. I killed his wife to make him feel like I felt when I lost my mate. The only difference was he did not care l
Victor Jr's POVThe rogue falls to his knees after killing Liam Moore. I can't say that he is not that young anymore. I feel sorry for him. He hasn't lost his mate, and it is not easy for a werewolf to lose his mate. He must have gone through tough times. Losing your might to somebody is almost like when a human loses their wife. Except for a werewolf, it is much worse. We are like wolves in nature. We mate for life. Sometimes, the Moon Goddess is merciful and will give us a second chance. Some of us are not lucky, and we stay alone for our love. That is why some rogues give control to their wolves. Their human side is too weak, and they want to die with their mate. The wolf takes over, and he becomes a lone wolf. A lone wolf is a very dangerous wolf. He will kill for the pleasure of it. But this rogue seems that he was only of the revenge. And now that he has gotten his revenge, he has nothing left. "What is your name?" Ashley asks. "My human name is Dean Winters. My name is Ranger
Third person's POVLiam Moore is sure that the dogman, werewolf, or whatever creature killed his wife is after him. He is not coming back to these woods ever again. The creature already has his wife and daughter, and he cannot live like this in fear for his life all the time. He goes back to Salem and asks for a transfer to New York. He is sure that he will be much safer there and that the beast cannot follow him to New York. He saw his daughter's cell phone. Her last picture was very blurry, but it looked like a half-human and half-wolf creature. He's sure that she is dead. He closes the file and takes the evident box with him to New York. He does not want everybody to know that his daughter was killed by a beast that does not exist, according to most people. He feels ashamed of what he has done to his daughter. He feels guilty because he feels that he is later down and that he tortured her. He tortured her so badly that she ran into this beast in the woods. Liam is sure the beast wi
