Nadia’s POV” They died and it was your fault. You were supposed to protect them, that was your job. You failed. My mind batters me with these thoughts every waking moment. Sometimes I can shake them, but most times I can't. But part of it is true. I was supposed to protect them, and I did fail. I swing my feet over and inhale sharply as my feet touch the cold floor of my room. I stretch, reaching my hands above my head and rotating my neck, hearing the ever so familiar crack as it releases the tension look down and see the familiar shine of silver around my wrists, and I sigh.It's been six years since that day, and only mere weeks after the incident, these shackles were put on as punishment. I'm bound with silver, which has over time, locked away my wolf side - including the consciousness of my wolf, Seles. It's been ages since I could hear her in my mind, and I've missed the company of her every single second. We worked so hard to be what we were, and now we'vebeen reduced to n

We were completely ambushed, and the number of rogues were overwhelming for just the three of us.The hardest and probably most odd part about that day was that none of us were able to shift. At all. I could hear Seles in my mind, roaring at me to let her out, but I couldn't. Because of that, we were alloverwhelmed easily. Rogues surrounded us, and gravely injured the Alpha first, before immobilizingme and attacking the Luna. I still remember her seream as one of them ripped her throat out. I shiver and turn the water in the shower as hot as I can bear, searing my skin slightly as I feel tears prick my eyes. I clasp my arms around myself, still haunted by the state of their bodies after the rogues had stopped attacking. They left me alive, but barely. I had gashes and claw marks all over me, plus a large chunk of my leg was torn away and a badly broken arm. I was healing slowly, as werewolves do, but it wasn't enough. We were found about an hour later, with me hysterical and tryi

It's not like I could walk up to him andquestion him, though. He's ordered me to neverlook him in the eye. You usually don't ever look an Alpha in the eye unless you're asked, but it's much more of a risk for me. I'm considered dirt, and Mike doesn't hesitate to put me in my place. He's beaten me for just even glancing his way before. If there is one thing that I've learned over these past six years, it's to pick my battles. I fought back against Mike and his treatment and punishment of me for the firstcouple years, and after multiple beatings and noone to help me aside from Gabby and Lynette, I'vebacked off. I've learned to put on an act. I'm notsome weak girl by any means, but if I show anysigns that I am not following orders it's bound toend up badly for me. I just hope that maybe one day I can be free of this and live the life I should be living. I sigh and shove the food into my mouth, not reallytasting it, but hoping that it gets me through atleast the morning, I take

With my eyes still lowered, I respond. "BetaAlarik. ""There you are. Alpha is at the new buildingwaiting for you. Come.""Yes, Beta." I respond robotically and I see Alarik'sshoes as he gets closer to me. He grips my chin roughly and brings my face up. I avert my eyes asI'm still not supposed to look at him."Not going to cause trouble today, are you?" He questions as he holds my chin with such force, I feel tinges of pain where his fingers are."No, Beta.""Good." He releases me and turns and starts towalk.I rub my chin to relieve the soreness I'm now experiencing on my face and follow behind Alarik, cursing at him in my mind as we go.Just breathe.Nadia's POVThe dread I feel increases the closer I get to thenew building. Not because of what I might be askedto do, but because I have to face Mike and put onmy "act". As Alarik and I approach the building, Ican't help but think that it looks decent. Mike putplans forward for this building less than a year ago,and the fact

Nadia's POV"What?" I say, bewildered as what he told me sinks in. "I'm...""You're my mate, Nadia." Nate says lovingly but with hurt in his voice."You've known this entire time?" My voice shakes with emotion, and he nods. "I've known since the first day we met."I back away and bring my arms up, lightly touching my cuffs."I never felt anything because of these.""Most likely. But I think you felt some sort of connection, just not as a mate bond.I look at him, tears still streaming down my face. "Why didn't you tell me sooner?" I see the pain cross his face and I know it must have been difficult for him to keep this hidden and as shocked as I am, I'm sure he had his reasons."Come into my room, let's talk."

Nadia's POV It's still hard to believe that I'm living at Nate's packlands.It's been weeks since my incident and there's been not a single sound about our departure from Pure Moon, which Nate has found highly suspicious. Surely if three of your own pack members just up and disappeared, you'd look for them, no? Apparently to Mike, it's a no.Honestly, I don't care as much about it at this point. This is the freedom that all three of us have been wishing for a very long tỉme.Not looking over our shoulders.Not worried about our actions.Not getting verbally or physically abused.The pack has taken us in fully, and it's like we were a part of it this whole time.Now that I've healed fully from my wounds, I've been helping Nate with his pack work, almost like an assistant or secretary.

Gabby and Lynette have their own suites now and have fallen right into place with Nadine and Tobias.I'm still in the medical wing as I had a small setback with my stab wound, I accidentally pushed myself a bit too hard during exercise and ripped my stitching open, so now I'm on light movement until it heals. Everyone has been visiting me every single chance they get, and Nate has been texting me every moment he isn't in here with me.It's sweet.I feel a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders in telling Nate the entire backstory of my life and how I came to be in this present moment. It surprised me that he immediately knew something was off like Gabby and Lynette had been saying for years, but I'm glad it’s out now.He also made a full incident report on my attack based on what I told

Nadine has said she is healing at an accelerated rate now thanks to my blood transfusions, but it's hard to know how much damage was done until she wakes up.So far it hasn't been positive.I've gone to visit her every chance I've gotten. Gabby and Lynette haven't left her side and said that they would let me know if anything changed. I wanted to be by her side this entire time, but I've had to keep to my duties and run my pack. The pack is uneasy due to my unease with her condition. They know she's my mate and their Luna and the despair I feel from them knowing she's been injured maliciously has been a heavy burden to bear. I sigh as I sit at my desk in my office, mindlessly going through papers on my desk, I try to think of our happier moments, and I'm startled when Lynette bursts in."She's awake."Nadia's POVNadia.

Gabby's POVI help Evie lift Nadia up from the pavement and into the back of Tobias' car. Evie supported her on the left side and me on the right, her still body laying over both of us, the metallic stench of her blood filling my nostrils. I keep my hand pressured on her wound as it's still bleeding, disgusted at the fact my friend's blood is seeping through my fingers from an injury that someone else did to her.Mike must be behind this, but until Nadia recovers, we Won't know exactly what happened to her and who actually did this to her.If she recovers.I glance over at Lynette as Tobias takes off, and I see her face is wet with fresh tears as she strokes Nadia's head that is on her lap. She's still alive but barely. Her heartbeat is faint. Evie is covered inNadia's blood just like me, and my wolf lashes out in my mind in intense anger. "If she doesn't survive, I'm going to kill him." The coldness in her voice is highly apparent, which is a drastic difference from her usual bubbly

I've got three options pulled out; black ripped leggings with a long black sleeved fishnet top over a white tank top, my red baby doll dress with fishnet stockings, or acid washed jean capris with a black corset.I pace, looking over each option and ultimately decide on the red dress and stockings. I kept my set for tonight chill, so I won't be moving around too much. Plus, I know Nate would like it.I can't kid myself; I'm dressing up for him.I get changed, making sure to put my favourite perfume on and sit down to do my makeup. I decided to do heavier winged liner, mascara, a nude lip, and a little bit of pink blush. I tidy up my brows and fill them slightly and add some highlighter to my cheekbones.I style my hair, pulling it back into a half pony with me pieces out to frame my face.I stand and take another once over when I hear a whistle.

Nadia's POVIt's been a week since I returned from the retreat with Nathaniel, and I'm missing him.Missing him a lot. More than I really thought I would.We've been texting every single day when he's got time, but it's nothing like being in person with him physically. We're planning to do a video call this evening once he's finished up with a meeting so at least I'll get to see him in some capacity.As for life back home, well..Mike and Alarik haven't laid-a hand on me since I've come home, making me think that Mike listened to my threat and has backed off for time being. At least, I hope. I'm still doing all the normal dutiesthat he asked of me before, but it seems he's finally leaving me alone to do them. Gabby and Lynette have told me that I probably should keep my guard up still, which I am, but this is a welcome feeling to not have to worry as much.I walk outside of the house and make my way to the garden, and I make sure to do the zipper up on my sweater as I walk.
