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
Fynn's POV:The room was filled with the faint beeps of machines and the rustle of uniforms. I stayed at the back of the room, my back pressed to the wall and my teeth gnashing against my nails, a bad habit from my childhood that had just returned somehow. The nurses hovered around Vienna, poking and prodding her pale skin with needles and tested her responses… all while I stood there, barely holding myself together. Each jab felt like it was aimed straight at my heart, and I hated every second of it. When they finally left and the doctor gave his orders before Vienna slipped back into deep sleep, I let out an exhale. Only then, did I approach her bedside once again. But before I could say a word, the door burst open, and an all-too-familiar scent filled the room, followed by a growl of outrage. “What the hell are you doing here, you bastard!” Vienna's father thundered, his voice echoing in the confined space. I turned slowly, meeting his furious gaze. His hackles were raised,
Author's POV:“Be careful dear! You, come here! Help Miss Vienna to her room, can't you see she's become so frail! Handle my daughter gently…”Vienna was dimly aware of being grabbed by two hesitant servants, who gently pulled her from her father’s embrace. They started guiding her up the staircase, one step at a time, their movements careful after the stern warning they had just received from the master. Her head swam and she tried to keep herself upright, although her senses were still dull and foggy from the medications that had been administered, before she was discharged from the hospital. The doctors had sent her home with a stack of supplements and instructions to maintain a proper diet, and so on… after which her father had lovingly guided her into the house once again, without ever speaking a harsh word, or even raising his voice above a soothing murmur.“Go on, dear…” Orion called softly from behind. His tone was uncharacteristically tender, even though Vienna had alread
Author's POV:“All I care about is that she is getting food inside her stomach and I'm allowing you to do whatever you feel is necessary! Just make sure her stomach isn’t empty, and that there is no possibility for anyone to say that a girl raised in the household of a Beta lacks anything in life just because her mother is not alive, and because I'm so blind that I can't serve justice between both my daughters." Tessa's jaw was basically hanging open in astonishment and shock, seeing her husband in such rare form. But the mockery and humiliation of the council meeting had left such deep scars in Orion's mind that he didn't stop, not when he was finally getting the chance to veny out his frustration. “For so many years, I have handed you the management of my household with complete blind faith, Tessa! So it's about time you fulfill the duties of that role and stop giving me reasons to be upset!” He paused for a moment, as if giving her the chance to process his words, before picki
Fynn's POV:“Fynn…”The familiar voice felt like the forgotten voice of my conscience. I froze, my fingers still around Zella’s throat, butVienna’s voice sent a shiver down my spine. It was so calm, and yet, Zella’s wide, bloodshot eyes flickered past my shoulder. I didn’t even need to turn to know who she was looking at, but the terror in her eyes was clear enough to paint a clear picture in front of my mind. All the hope drained away from her eyes.Because until that moment, she had been assuming that I was Kai. That the twin she was planning on weakening and killing soon, was the one pressing the life from her lungs. While her Fynn, the idiot whom she had drugged, manipulated, and betrayed was the one who eas locked up behind bars, unable to help her. As if in her twisted mind, her confession of love and the declaration of her loyalty was enough to fix everything.But now… she knew it was me.She knew I was Fynn, and I wanted her dead.The way her eyes drooped, like last flam
Kai's POV:I looked at Zella with skepticism, wondering if this was why she had come here… to stage a rebellion against Alpha Axel? Or was there something more to her plan? I found a pair of soft eyes staring back at me– her answering gaze was filled with longing, which made me more disgusted with her existence than I could have imagined. But still, I didn't let it show on my face. I kept my mask on, this girl was too dangerous to be trusted. She had been watching Fynn closely for almost three years now, and I couldn’t afford a single slip. My act needed to be perfect if I was to convince her that I was my brother, without any questions. I straightened my spine a little more, deliberately letting some rudeness and coldness slip into my voice. “Zella! There is no point in this nonsense now. I already told Axel that I don't have any interest in taking the throne back, and that's the reason he has dumped me in this dungeon! Since you are his Healer, I can't trust you even if I want
Author's POV:The Oasis Pack's central courtyard watched in silent curiosity as Fynn strode toward Alpha Axel's private chambers. His boots crunched against the gravel path, his posture rigid, his face an unreadable mask. Axel greeted him with a smirk, lounging against the doorway. "Master Fynn!" His voice dripped with false warmth. "Or should I call you Supreme Alpha again?" "Neither," Fynn said flatly. "I have news for you." Axel's grin widened. "Oh? Do share." "Not here." Fynn's gaze flickered toward the servants loitering around nearby. “I need a private audience with you, right now." Axel waved a dismissive hand, signalling for the servants to disperse as he began leading Fynn towards the throne room. The heavy doors shut behind them with a resonant thud, sealing them in the chamber. Fynn didn't waste any time before breaking his silence. "I'm formally declaring that I won't support any further attacks on the Azuremist Pack." Silence. Then Axel burst into lau
Vienna's POV:A gentle breeze was blowing through the half-open curtains, casting a golden glow over the room. The peaceful atmosphere was shattered as soon as Zeke burst into my room like a tiny hurricane, just like it had become his routine for the past week. He used to rush in ten times a day, always asking the same questions with wide, worried eyes. It had been a week since we returned from the Oasis Pack, and although my hand was still wrapped in thin crepe bandages, it was healing well.“Mama!” Zeke’s arms shot up, and his little knee lifted just as Kai had taught him. Before I could blink, he was on the bed, huddling against my side.I shifted slightly as he clung to my side. His eyes were so full of concern that it made my heart squeeze. “Mama, are you feeling pain?”I pulled him closer, pressing a kiss to his forehead. “No, baby. Mama doesn’t feel any pain when her baby is by her side.” He grinned sweetly, and all his worries disappeared with a single answer of mine, l
Author's POV:The setting sun had painted the guesthouse corridors in colors of gold as Zella walked inside with an air of authority, her footsteps silent on the polished wood. No one stopped her, and for good reason. the Oasis Pack's royal healer, her presence was expected here. Especially when all everyone could talk about was the Supreme Luna's absence from the diplomatic pack visits, owing to her ill health.. But she wasn't here for doing anything that was going to help the supreme Luna, to recover or she wasn't in the mood to give anything that could have the potential to cure the supreme Luna in any way.In fact if she could, she would directly inject the poison in her veins, silencing her forever, after all, what she has been doing apart living like a burden on the Earth and being the owner of something that should never belong to her, that is Fynn's heart.But it wasn't going to be so long anyway, so there was no use for getting mad for this, rather it was the perfect oppor
Fynn's POV:The moment Kai walked out of the house, I collapsed to my knees, the dam inside me shattering completely. The cold compress Kai had used sat discarded on the table, melting slowly, a puddle forming. And just like that, the hot tears spilling from my eyes had melted the mask of coldness that I had been wearing, thinking that this was the only way to protect myself…But today, I could see myself for what I really was: a bruised and broken man who couldn't help but hurt those whom he was meant to cherish the most. Vienna…!An image flashed before my eyes, bleeding onto the floor… and bile surged up my throat. I leaned forward, raising my hands to clutch at my head. These hands… these cursed, guilty hands that had pushed her away without a second thought.The same hands that had once held Vienna closed to me, and the ones that had hurt her… and even this pain was too kind for a monster like me. I deserved far worse. Would she have been okay right now, if I hadn’t acted s
Author's POV:Kai’s hand, which had been gently wiping the blood from Fynn’s face, abruptly stopped. The damp cloth was hovering above against Fynn's bruised cheekbone as Kai’s expression shifted. His gaze was definitely softer than before, but it still carried an edge of grievance and anguish… flicking over Fynn’s bruised features before he spoke in a low, controlled tone. "You surely can make everything else right, and I know you want to make up for the time you have lost and the distance you have spent apart. I can understand that, but Fynn..." His grip tightened slightly. “How do you think you will ever make up for hurting her this time? Because I don't think there is anything that you could do to erase this bitter memory from any of our heads and no matter how much you apologise, I don't think I will be generous enough to forgive you for this act of yours, even if Enna will forgive …I don't I would be able to forget this incident easily…in fact I don't think you yourself c
Author's POV: The air inside the cottage felt suffocating, heavy with the aftermath of their brutal confrontation. The remnants of their fight lay scattered—broken furniture, splintered wood, and the metallic tang of blood lingering in the air, but the broken fragments of words and the things that were broken by the force of them were nowhere to be found. Fynn was on his knees, the shock of Kai’s words crashing over him like a tidal wave. He knew he couldn't stay standing on his feet after the tsunami that had just hit his world.His mind was a whirlpool of disbelief and desperation. Could this be true? “Is this true? Is it really true what you are saying–”“You really think I would lie about him? He's my son too, you bastard!!?”Kai’s eyes blazed with anger. Without warning, he grabbed him by the collar and shoved him back with a force that sent him sprawling. Fynn’s spine struck the ground hard, and he grunted as pain flared through his back.“That’s why I said what I said,” Kai
Author's POV: The cottage stood silent and foreboding, the morning mist curling lazily around the worn wooden structure. Birds dared not chirp, sensing the tension thickening the air. The door swung open violently, crashing against the wall as Kai stormed inside, eyes blazing and muscles taut with barely restrained fury.“Fynn!” he roared, voice echoing off the wooden beams. “Where the hell are you?!” The anger in his voice reverberated like a thunderclap. “Fynn, you can't hide from me, you coward! Come out, or are you only brave enough to hurt my wife?!”For a moment, the only sound was the rush of Kai’s heavy breathing. The air was heavy with the promise of violence. There were enough signs that could justify that promise.The cottage’s shadows flickered, disturbed by the force of his entrance.Then, from the back room, Fynn emerged. His expression was a cold mask, but his eyes blazed with pent-up rage and betrayal. He stepped forward, arms crossed over his chest, and a bitter smi
