Fynn's POV:I was standing outside Vienna’s hospital ward, leaning against the wall with my arms crossed, and observing the chaos that had formed around Vienna. Through the small glass window in the door, I could see her… on the bed, pale and unmoving as needles were jabbed into her wrist.That boy, Asher, was here too. Her ex-boyfriend, who had cornered her during the party on her birthday, made her hand bleed and scared her half to death… here he was today, dashing around the hospital hallways like a headless chicken. At the command of the nurses and doctors, he was running some errands to the pharmacy and labs, looking genuinely concerned on the surface. However, I didn't trust him for a second, my hands itching to slam him against the wall and ask him to stay away from Vienna. Then there were the other two: that Gemini girl standing near Tessa, hovering at the corner of the room. Both mother and daughter were ranting and sobbing in turns, fussing loudly for Asher’s attention
Author's POV: At Asher’s brash display of arrogance, the only thing that Fynn did was show a smirk on his face, his hands slipping casually into his pockets. "Oh, is that so? But even if the case is going to be in your favor, we’ll see about that, won’t we? I have already agreed to that part, so do me a favor and please take your crooked face out of my sight?" His voice was laced with mockery, but Asher’s chest puffed up with confidence. He spoke with a hint of offense, yet wanting to portray himself as benevolent and kind. "Absolutely, you will! It’s just a misunderstanding between us. And this is why I am even tolerating you, because even if she is mad at me, she has included you in her plan. So consider this as a leverage of my love for her, that I am not kicking you out! But don't you ever forget that at the end of the day, she loves me, and you can get lost on your own!”"I never knew that you were this overconfident! Anyways, I’m willing to wait and watch you prove that, but
Author's POV:The future Alpha of the Obsidian pack crashed into the opposite wall with a resounding thud, his body crumpled like a piece of trash. By now, a crowd had gathered outside the ward, drawn by the sound of shouts and shrieks. Patients, doctors, and nurses peeked in through the glass windows and the gap in the door, trying to see who had not only dared to touch the Alpha’s son, but also left him in this state. Gemini felt Asher's humiliation being reflected towards her own self, and as if it was her own family’s reputation at stake, she rushed to Asher’s side. She grabbed his arm and placed it over her shoulder, trying to offer support and lift him up. "Come on, Asher, let's go from here! We already know she is cursed, who knows what kind of devil worship her mate is into? This… what we saw just now, it's not his strength, it’s definitely related to black magic… or maybe something beyond it!" She shuddered at the thought, trying to coax Asher. "Leave him be, it's best
Fynn's POV: Finally, the idiot took the first right decision of his life, and I noticed him walking out of the corridor. And with Asher gone, the crowd began to disperse slowly, and I finally started to feel some relief. That was, of course, until Gemini came charging back in. Her usually ugly face was twisted into an even worse expression, if that was even possible. Thankfully, she steered clear of me and avoided going anywhere near Vienna either, and marched right up to her mother instead. "Mum! Let’s go home! I am so upset… so, so, so upset that I can't even explain, I can't understand how this bitch can ruin my day and my happiness even when she isn't in her senses…! Anyways, just take me home. I don’t want to stay here… I don't want to be anywhere where she is!” She demanded, stomping her foot like a toddler who had been denied a candy bar, and of course it was the entire world's fault. I let out a smirk, getting annoyed with her actions. Sulkingly, she looked at V
Fynn's POV:My wolf was growing more restless by the second, his agitation bleeding into my own thoughts. He was already upset that my human, rational and logical brain had been suppressing his calls since this morning, and now, I could feel his rage, his sorrow, his desperation for her safety…I clenched my fists, trying to keep myself grounded. “Why isn’t she waking up yet?” I asked, my voice was harsher than I intended. My worry was rising steadily, and I needed answers now.The doctor adjusted his glasses, before inspecting the half-full IV bottle hanging by the bedside."She won't wake up until the dose of medication has had its effect, which might take some more time. This bottle should be empty in about fifteen minutes. Hopefully she will regain her consciousness by then, and we won't have to worry anymore–”“Finally!! Thank the Moon goddess!!”“But–”“But what Doctor?”“But there is a chance that she won't wake up by then, and if she doesn’t, please inform us immediately… it
Fynn's POV:“I kept lying to myself, ignoring everything and convincing myself that it was nothing. If I hadn’t been so stubborn, and instead tried to listen to what my wolf was trying to tell me, then… maybe I could’ve helped you sooner. Kai was sick, but I could have come to you, and you would have gotten help, either way.”I shook my head, feeling the familiar frustration rising again. “Kai was right. We can’t leave you with those horrible, heartless creatures. I don’t know how this will end either, but whatever the future is! Whatever the outcome of this whole thing is going to be… if you want to have only Kai, even then, I won't hold any grudges against you or him. But I can protect you, right? Let me protect you. No matter what happens, no matter what you decide… I swear to myself, I will always protect you, no matter what.” “After all, the Moon Goddess has ordained you to my brother,” I continued softly, my thumb brushing over her cold knuckles. “And you will always remain
Author's POV: The Werewolf Council was called at the old palace, from where the supreme alphas used to live and rule, many centuries ago… before the packs had been broken up into smaller divisions, which had adopted different names, insignia and loyalties over time. The post of the Supreme Alpha still existed today, the one who governed all the packs of that region. However, the Alphas didn't live in that palace anymore; and the Council had been set up to represent and resolve the issues of the various packs.However, the topic of discussion for this meeting was not the problems faced by the packs, or the conflicts they were facing. Rather, the usual talks of diplomacy had been replaced by gossip, and all pretense of business had been abandoned long ago. Instead, the whole hall was trading whispers and gossip about the Obsidian Pack, specifically about Vienna Belmont, the Beta’s daughter, who had been rushed to the hospital in critical condition. And shockingly, Asher Blackwood, s
Author's POV:“I didn’t expect you to be so emasculated by your wife! Have you become completely blind, or say, completely turned your eyes away from your first born!!! Tell me, Orion, have you handed over your brain to keep it in her pocket, along with your balls!?”Orion felt the color of shame painting his cheeks again, but the person continued to rail against him, severely offended on behalf of Vienna. “But while you might not like your daughter, she is going to be my future daughter in- law, and I will defend her no matter what." All heads turned to the source of the voice, and to Orion’s utter shock and embarrassment, it was none other than Alpha Darius Blackwood. The Alpha of the Obsidian back was standing, tall and commanding, his gaze challenging the members of the council to speak up and find out the gruesome and potentially deadly consequences of that! It was enough to silence even the boldest and most talkative wolves with the implication of his words. Future daughte
Author's POV:The afternoon light had faded away, and dusk was slowly creeping in. And yet, Zella hadn’t moved from her spot at all. She was sitting in the small living room of her apartment, like a statue carved out of stone. Her head was against the wall, and her eyes blankly fixed some point in the distance. Her hands lay limp in her lap, her body drained of all its energy like she had lost her purpose in life. And in a way, she really had. Because Fynn was gone… just in the span of minutes after he was sure about being able to travel on his own, he had left without any proper goodbye or show of gratitude. But she couldn't even feel anger towards that selfish man who had simply informed her about his life, back in his own world… and walked away without caring for her response. For two and a half years, she had dedicated herself to his recovery: watching over him, feeding him, tending to his wounds, making sure he was comfortable. This has become the rhythm of her life ever s
Fynn's POV:I pushed the blanket off and swung my legs over the side of the bed, feeling the cool wooden floor beneath my feet. My body no longer felt weak… and thankfully, my joints didn't betray me with every movement. I had healed. After a long struggle, I could walk without my knees buckling under me. The moment I woke up, I could feel Zella watching me. I knew when she must have come here, and also why she had been waiting expectantly in that corner.I lifted my hand to signal for her to stay seated. She sat back with a frown, but didn’t say anything. While walking towards the door, my steps steady, I gave a single glance to the cane that used to be my crutch, then moved past it without reaching for it. I think I have regained my strength by now. The chilly water that I splashed all over myself washed away the last lingering touches of sleep. It was almost fifteen minutes later that I stepped out, freshly dressed in clothes that fit me better.I felt like myself again… part
Author's POV:The village was carved into the rugged slopes of the mountain, blending completely into the landscape. A crisp wind rustled through the trees, carrying the scent of damp earth and pine, but inside one of the cottages, the morning was yet to register its presence.The girl stepped carefully through the wooden door, balancing a plate of food in her hands. She was moving absent-mindedly through the house, as if she had done this countless times before. The air inside was tinged with the scent of old wood and herbs. The cottage was simple, almost barebones. A bed occupied one side of the room, the blankets slightly disheveled, and a few pieces of basic furniture filled the remaining space: a small table, a single chair, a shelf lined with a few necessities. There was no excess, nor any personal touches inside that space. Her gaze drifted toward the bed, and the man was lying still under the covers. His breathing was slow and steady, his features softened by the presence
Kai's POV:I paced the room, my arms wrapped securely around Zeke’s tiny frame, patting his back in slow, steady movements. His soft breaths hit my collarbone as I rocked him gently, his small fingers curled into my shirt with a sleepy but tight grip. He had stopped crying once his tummy was filled with milk, and he was completely relaxed in my arms. But I kept moving around the room, unwilling to stop swinging him until I was sure he was truly asleep.I glanced down, watching his heavy eyelids flutter shut. His green eyes, which were so bright, so full of life… they belonged to Vienna. But everything else about him- every little detail, every movement, was Fynn. His small temper tantrums and that stubborn frown on his small forehead when he didn’t get his way with something... his way of scrunching his nose when he was just about to wake up. Even the way he clung to us when he was sleepy, as if he was afraid we would leave him alone and disappear.With a sharp pang, a deep ache sp
Vienna's POV:“Lola!”I exhaled in relief, my arms tightening around her shoulders as my best friend hugged me fiercely, as always, before peeling herself away. She craned her neck to look inside the house, eyes gleaming with curiosity."How is my baby... and what about her naughty son?" She asked, half laughing. I smiled in reply, she was definitely here to check in on Zeke's health after his fever. Instead of answering her again right away, I grabbed her wrist and tugged her inside, lowering my voice."Shh… the Supreme Alpha is on daddy duty, so it’s best not to disturb them right now."Lola gasped dramatically. "Oh really! That’s even better! Now we can focus on making you presentable!"I blinked at her, placing a hand on my hip as my eyebrows dipped into a frown. "Excuse me? And what exactly is wrong with my presentation?"By now, we had stepped into the kitchen. Lola gave me one long look, as if deciding what to say. Then, she quietly placed both hands on my shoulders and slo
Two and a half years later…Vienna's POV:Zeke’s cries echoed through every corner of the house, as if every cry from his mouth was bouncing off the walls and returning to my ears."Enna! Enna…!"Kai’s voice reached my ears in an overlapping symphony, which made my pulse quicken. "I’m coming!" I called back, hurriedly tilting the milk bottle over my hand to check the temperature, it was just right. Without wasting another second, I twisted the lid tighter and rushed out of the kitchen, my bare feet padding against the cool wooden floors. The sound of Zeke’s cries hadn’t lessened in the slightest, tugging at my heart with every desperate sob. I reached the living room in record time, coming to a halt at the doorway. Sunlight was bursting in the room, making it look more of a mess than usual. Scattered toys, baby blankets and colorful picture books were decorating every surface, along with a few half-folded clothes. Normally, the attendants would have taken care of all this right
Vienna's POV: I saw Fynn's fingers scraping against the jagged rock for a fraction of a second… just enough for hope to flare up in my chest, before it was ripped away.Because in the very next second, he fell… before I could move from my place, he had fallen. Without a sound, without even a struggle, my world had shattered. My life was teetering on the edge, and then it slipped away.It wasn't just Finn that had fallen from the cliff, I felt like someone had ripped my heart into two parts and thrown one of them, by tossing it away from the cliff.For a moment everything paused in my mind, the time, the heartbeat, the tears, the scream and then everything just went boom.The scream that was building up inside me, shaking my whole body, didn't even leave my mouth. My soul was being ripped apart, and I couldn't even open my mouth to tell anyone to make it stop, to make it hurt less or to bring him back anyhow. Not a single sound.My legs gave out beneath me, and I crashed onto my kn
Kai’s POV: A roar, unlike anything I had ever heard, tore from my throat, shaking the ground under my paws. I felt bloodlust seeping into my body, soaking every fibre of my being, taking over all the anger and grief, and pain. My brother.They had pushed my brother.The other half of my soul… the one part of my heart. They pushed my Fynn… my Fynn off the cliff.Curzon barely had time to react before I was on him. My wolf lunged with the full force of my fury. He tried to dodge, but he was too slow to escape from the Grim Reaper.I sank my teeth into his neck, tasting blood as his panicked growl turned into a gurgled gasp. His paws thrashed against me, claws scraping uselessly at my fur, but I didn’t let go.I didn't let go, even as his claws sank into my shoulder, right where Fynn had been injured. I twisted my jaw, and ripped his throat out.Curzon’s lifeless body crumpled to the ground, his eyes still wide with shock.His beta howled in rage and came at me next, but I was alread
Kai’s POV: Curzon.That bloody motherfucker! Fynn had been right… he shouldn't have been trusted, because he must have been planning this for a long time. And I was right too; only for one moment, when the thought crossed my mind that it wasn't possible for any Alpha to ignore the Supreme Alpha crossing the borders of their pack.It was all his plan! I didn't know how long this bloody snake had been disguised in the form of my friend, and how long I had been feeding him with the crucial information about my life… making all of us extremely vulnerable.Because of my one mistake of trusting a traitor.The realization made my blood boil, rage snapping through me like a whip.And as I burst into the woods whether they had cornered Vienna and Fynn, the sight before me had the power to shatter me completely.Fynn… my brother was fighting alone against twelve wolves, his body already bloodied but still keeping up with their attacks. Each time they lunged, he threw them back, his strength
