Dane's POV“Now, Rogue… let out your inner wolf, I have something to tell him!” I commanded, and because he was reluctant, I had to do the job for him.“Here, why don't I help you?” Immediately, I roared, my eyes shifting to those of my wolf, and my heart raced rapidly, knowing that what I was doing was a bit dangerous.Just then, he growled, his head arching to the ceiling, and his claws spiralling out just as I liked it. I relished this moment; I was happy seeing what was happening to him.The second he looked back at me, I saw his yellow eyes staring at me.“What have you done? I need to shift back! What the hell did you do?” He blinked countless times as he tried to shift back to his human form, but that wasn't going to happen. Not when I was in charge.“Showing you that I am your Alpha… I called your inner wolf, and he responded… but guess what? He won't hide from me until I make him…” A sinister sneer left my lips as I looked at his claws.“Nice claws you have there!” I uttered,
Dane's POV.Heading back to the mansion or the main building, I couldn't help but recall every single word the rogue had said to me when I kept torturing him. Edmond had some nerves to take My Luna and think this was a game.“I'll make you pay dearly for what you've done, Edmond! By the time he gets to the public and reveals your evil intentions, you'll have no way, no right to deny it!” I said inwardly as my focus and attention were now fixed on the mansion ahead.Getting to the door, I wasted no time in pushing it open and walking into it. If there was anything that mattered at this moment, it definitely was going to see Astrid.Although I was angry or mad about what Edmond had done, I still couldn't contain or suppress the joy I felt knowing that my mate is actually back in the mansion.Without a single delay, I headed right for her room. Beta Ivar has been with her since I left so I was certain that she was in good hands.“Alpha Dane!” Beta Ivar bowed his head the second he saw me
Astrid's POV:“Where am I?” I mumbled as I opened my eyes slowly. It felt heavy, but most of all, I felt comfort. It was clear that I wasn't at the warehouse anymore, and the light that first greeted me the second I opened my eyes proved me right.“Am I…” I gasped as I fluttered my eyes open wide, looking around the place. It was clear that I wasn't just picked away in some old rusty place anymore. I was safe, I was okay.“Thank the Moon Goddess for this, thank the Moon Goddess for saving me!” I prayed silently as I sat up on the bed.At this point, I needed to get the full explanation of how I got saved from the warehouse because the last I checked, I had blacked out after the rogue had tortured me, and I couldn't tell what happened next.“Could it be him that brought me back to the mansion?” I mumbled but shook my head almost immediately, trying to dispel the thoughts of Alpha Dane helping me out.“It can't be possible, he can't be the one!”I climbed out of the bed, ready to use th
Astrid's POV.“Congratulations on getting pregnant,” the doctor suddenly uttered, making my eyes bulge out in shock and awe.Without hesitation, I grabbed him by the hand and pulled him closer to me. It was obvious that he knew something no one in the pack must know, something that must be kept a secret and never let out.“Luna Astrid… Are you okay? You should…” he started to say when I cut in sharply without hesitation. It was best I told him now rather than never or later.“This is why I am here. Only I know that I am pregnant. Alpha Dane must not know! Please!” I pleaded, my eyes staring into his eyes. My fingers that were wrapped around his arm clenched tightly, and he could feel my fingers digging into his skin.“What?” he exclaimed, not believing what I had just said to him. “But that should be great news. It’s not like Alpha Dane would kill his own child, right?” he uttered, making me scoff immediately.I wished it was his child. I wished the child belonged to him so I wouldn’t
Dane's POV.Waking up so early the next morning felt tiresome. I just wished I could have a day of rest and not do anything at all, but who was I kidding? I was an Alpha and had my pack members to lead.Sitting up on the bed, I turned to look beside me and found Astrid fast asleep. It was funny, though, seeing how we had gone from despising each other to being scared of losing each other.If it were earlier when she came to the pack, I bet there was no way I'd stay on the same bed with her. She'd disgust me to the core, but I guess the mate bond was stronger than I had ever imagined.Without hesitation, I stood to my feet and walked over to the wardrobe. I grabbed my towel and, wrapping it around my waist, headed straight for the bathroom to get ready.I made sure it was just a quick shower. Once I was done, I came out and made my way to where my clothes were hung. I had already gotten them prepared beforehand just to ensure that I wouldn't be late for the judgement of the day.“This
Dane's POV. Watching Astrid rush into the bathroom after thanking me was a feeling I wished to carry everywhere I went. A smile curled up on my lips, and I had forgotten about the rage that coursed through my veins concerning Edmond.Without hesitation, I turned to the door. Recalling that Beta Ivar had misbehaved, I didn't hesitate to walk towards the door. Opening it, I found Beta Ivar standing by the door with his head bowed to me instantly.“What the hell did you do that for?” I snapped again, trying my best to keep my voice low so that Astrid wouldn't hear me speak.“I'm sorry, Alpha Dane!” He apologised, not wanting to carry the issue further. There was every possibility that Ivar could argue with me, but he chose not to, and that was the best decision he had ever made.“Sorry for yourself, Ivar!” I uttered through gritted teeth as I stared at him. “Next time you try pulling such a stunt, I won't hesitate to make you pay dearly! Is that clear?” I warned, my eyes fixed right on
Dane's POV:“Which of you had the guts to mock my Luna?” My fist clenched as I glared at each of them standing right before me. They were scared, and I understood that, but it wasn't going to make me stop. It wasn't going to make me let go of them easily.When they had begun to speak ill about my mate, they could have thought twice. They could have reasoned properly that they feared Alpha Dane and wouldn't want him to get furious at them.My fist clenched as I kept waiting for a response. They weren't speaking at this moment, and it infuriated me even more.“Speak or I…” I was going to place a threat, but just then, one of them spoke up, cutting me short, which I disliked so badly.“No one, Alpha Dane… none of us spoke ill of your mate and Luna!” He immediately went on his knees, his head bowed to me to show respect while he lied.How was it possible that after lying to me, he had the guts to act like the victim? At this point, it was obvious that everyone was going to see me as a mon
Dane's POV:“I asked, who sent you?” My voice was deep and authoritative as I glared at them kneeling on the ground, their heads bowed.Seeing how furious I was, they lifted their heads and turned to me, a sneer curling up on their lips immediately. It was scary and, above all, felt intensely weird.“Alpha Halfdan sent us!” they finally declared. My brows furrowed immediately at the sound of what they had just said to me.“What? That wasn't what you told me! Who sent you? Say the truth right now!” I commanded, but it was fruitless. It was as though they had taken orders from someone and weren't going to speak up no matter what.Slowly, I turned to look at the crowd that had kept mumbling. They were as shocked as I was too. Just then, my eyes met with that of Edmond, and the sneer that was on his lips drove home one fact: he had a hand in this.He had done something to them, but how? When? Last time I checked, the cell was heavily guarded, so how the hell did Edmond get past the guards
