Dane's POV

“You know the rules, Alpha Dane… eliminate every potential threat, and right now, I'm sure we both agree that Alpha Halfdan is a threat!” Edmond stated.

I saw what he was trying to do. He was trying to get into my head, trying to make me feel useless and incapable of having Astrid by my side. He knew something that no one else knew.

“Eliminate him? A threat?” I scoffed, sliding my hands into my pockets as I walked closer to where he stood, my eyes glaring at him.

“Is that why you made them tag him as the one responsible for the abduction and the rogues' attack, Edmond? You planned all this just to watch Alpha Halfdan get taken down?” I scoffed, my eyes rolling in disgust.

“I’m pretty sure you know what I mean, Alpha Dane! And besides, I do not know what you speak of! Kill him and make him pay for what he did!” He snarled, and just then, I couldn't help but nod my head in response.

“I'll do as you said, Edmond… but on one condition…” I bargained.

    ASTRID'S POV:Watching them from afar and how Edmond had kept turning to look at me, there was definitely no doubt that they had brought me into their conversation.I was only trying to run towards Alpha Dane and see if I could calm him down after what had happened, but at this point, I was pretty sure that he just didn't want to meet with Edmond.I tried focusing on their discussion to see if I could hear anything, but who was I kidding? Edmond was secretive, and I wasn't going to hear a single word no matter how hard I tried.Just then, Alpha Dane excused himself and left Edmond all alone. I was going to turn around and head into the mansion, but unfortunately, I was stopped by Edmond who suddenly got a strong grip on my hand, halting me in my tracks.“Long time no see, Luna Astrid!” he sneered as he glared right into my eyes. I could see it all—the malice, the evil intent, the sinister plots. He was definitely behind it all, and there was no doubt about it.“Let go!” I pulled my ha

    Astrid's POV.“Stay away from me right now, Alpha Dane!” I commanded, my eyes glaring deeply into his. My every move was aimed at just getting away from him and nothing more.If there was a way to stay far, I was willing to do it, but the wall in the room was just becoming more annoying than anyone could ever imagine.“Stay away from you? And what if I don't? What if what keeps getting into my head right now is to get revenge on you for letting out my secret? For exposing me to not just one person but Edmond?” He snapped, his eyes still piercing into mine.My eyes widened in shock and realisation at this moment that I couldn't help but exclaim in astonishment.“What?” My eyes squinted as I stared into his eyes. I couldn't believe what he had just said to me.“Don't act like you don't know what I am saying right now, Astrid! Don't play the victim! Don't act like you are innocent when you are not! We both know what happened back in that warehouse!” he snarled as he took one last step cl

I just wanted to know what the true issue was. I needed to know how I could comfort her.All this while, she had been quiet and had refused to call me. She had acted like I didn't exist, and maybe it was because of my father, but seeing her acting this way right now made me so suspicious and, above all, uncomfortable."Astrid, I'm really sorry. I should have told you all this while! I should have!" She mumbled bitterly, the guilt and pain in her tone pretty evident at this moment."You keep speaking in parables, Mom. What is wrong? Can you just open up already?" I urged, anticipation overwhelming me at this moment."It's your father, Astrid…" she started, but her soft sobs choked her words immediately."And what about my father? What about Dad?" I asked, pressing the phone against my ear tightly just so I could hear ever

They called me; they wanted me.“Simple… Let me mark you and let me be your Alpha!” he finally declared, a smile curling up on his lips as he stared.I wasn't sure what was happening at that moment. He was definitely the one who didn't like me, the one who never wanted anything to do with me, but here he was, trying to act like everything was okay?A few hours ago, he had tried to kill me, he had tried to strangle me to death, not minding what anyone said or did, but now he wanted me to let him mark me? He wanted to be my Alpha now?Several thoughts slammed through my mind. It was obvious that he was up to something, but I just couldn't place my finger on what it was. I couldn't tell what he wa

Or did you lose your memory when you got abducted by the rogues, right?” Camilla snarked, a sneer curling up on her lips.At this moment, all I could see in her eyes were anger, pain, and regret. She just wanted what I had; she wanted what I earned in the easiest way possible.She had taken Halfdan from me because of her greed, and now here she was trying to act all defensive? She never liked my father for a single day. She pretended to be his best relative, and that was all.“I'm not here for the pack, Camilla. I'm here for my father's remains. Unlike you, I have a heart!” I spat, my glare fixed on her. I was certain that she was angry, that she was mad I had exposed her plans.“How dare you say such a…” she began, lifting her hand to hit me on the face as usual, but right then, Alpha Dane intervened.He held her hand tightly.“You dare not lay a finger on my mate, not when I am here, Camilla!” he

My grip around the handle tightened, and all I wished for was a time with my father, not dead but alive.Tears that I had tried so much to conceal, to hide within, began to trickle down from my eyes at this moment. I just wanted my father. Although he was one tough Alpha that I couldn't reach most times, I still missed him so much.“Father…” I whispered again, sniffling this time.“Are you okay? We can leave and come back later, Astrid… it is fine if…” Alpha Dane was going to say.He had obviously seen me looking all weak and down, and the only suggestion he could give was to turn and leave, to leave the pack, but that wasn't what I wanted.I wanted to see my father, and that was what I was going to do.“No… no, Alpha Dane.” I shook my head incessantly as I wiped the te

Do you know what you have done?” She still had the guts to yell at me without respect.I scoffed and defiantly folded my arms across my chest, my eyes rolling in disgust as I glared at her.“You'll regret this, Astrid! You'll live to regret this!” she warned as she tried getting to her feet, but she collapsed again. I bet I had thrown her so hard to the floor that standing up wasn't going to be easy for her.“Regret? You speak of regret like you know the meaning!” I scoffed. “Trust me, Camilla, I won't regret anything! The only thing I would have regretted was letting you go after slapping me, but did I? No! And I'll definitely be happy for the rest of my life!” A mischievous smile formed on my lips.Although I didn't want any commotion today, I couldn't avoid it, and it was because of Camilla.I wat

But just then, he got a strong grip on my hand and held me in place.“Stay calm, mate… I don’t bite, and you know it!” he whispered with a raspy voice. Slowly, he pulled back, his eyes locked onto mine as I felt my heart race a thousand times faster than it should.“Come… I have something to show you… something I’m sure will fascinate you!” His hand brushed against my hair as he tucked a few strands behind my ear.Slowly, he took my hand, his touch making me let out a soft gasp.

The room was quiet, and for a moment, loneliness washed over me like a cold wave.But then I turned to the window and saw Dane, his strong frame leaning against the sill. He cradled our baby, Hayden, in his arms. A smile crept across my face at the sight of them together. They looked perfect.“You're awake late! We had plans for today, but you overslept,” Dane teased as he walked over to me. He leaned down and placed a gentle kiss on my lips. The warmth of his affection spread through me, making me feel safe and loved.It had been a month since everything turned upside down—a month since the terrifying nightmare that almost took our lives.

    Halfdan's pov. (His End)The bottle of whiskey was cold in my hand, the burn of the liquid a distant sensation as it slid down my throat. I could barely feel it anymore, barely cared. All I could think of was her. Camilla. My mate. My cunning, twisted, evil mate.How did it come to this? The memories of that night still clawed at my mind, gnawing away until I felt like I might go insane. I closed my eyes, but the image of her face filled my head—the way her eyes locked onto mine in those final moments, full of both fear and acceptance. She was in my arms, her body limp and lifeless, yet her lips had curled in that knowing smile. The same smile she had whenever she thought she had won.She had won.Even in death, she had won, taking the slash meant for me, falling in my place. She died in my arms, the blood soaking my hands, the life draining from her body while I could only watch. And no matter how much I told myself I hated her for all she'd done, for all the evil she brought to o

    Halfdan's POV.I stood on the balcony, hands behind my back, staring up at the sky. I had felt off all night, but something about being out here shifted my mood. A small smile formed on my lips as I gazed at the red sky. It wasn't the death of an alpha; I would’ve been invited if that were the case. No, this meant something else—a moon healer had been born.How fortunate their parents were. A child with such a rare gift was both a blessing and a burden. The entire world would come for them, and I would have to protect that child. It was my duty. But deep down, I wished I’d been given that choice, to have a child of my own to protect. I wanted it so badly, and I would die for my child if it came to that. But not everything in life goes the way we want it to.A sharp knock at the door snapped me out of my thoughts, and I turned my head toward the sound.“Alpha Halfdan!” Drake shouted as he burst onto the balcony, panting heavily.“What is it now, Drake?” I asked, rolling my eyes.

    DANE'S POV"Camilla," I called out, my voice firm. She didn’t even flinch, her cold, hard glare fixed on Astrid. Astrid, who looked exhausted and fragile. She had just given birth. She needed rest, not this. She shouldn’t be standing here, facing Camilla. All I could think was, ‘Have I ever done anything right?’ Ever since she came into my life, all I’d done was cause her pain and worry. And now I had a son too. I couldn’t let this cruel fate fall on them both. They deserved peace— ‘they deserved better than me.’Camilla took a step forward, her lips curling into a cruel smile. Her eyes locked onto the baby. My son. I stepped in front of Astrid, blocking her view."I’m going to need the child," Camilla said, her voice dripping with malice. The smirk on her face widened, her eyes glowing with hatred.My jaw tightened, my body tense. "What makes you think I’ll give you my son?" I growled, glaring at her. But my words only made her smile bigger. She looked back at me with the same ch

    DANE'S POVEight months had passed, and it felt like nothing had changed. Every morning, I woke up wondering if she still hated me as much as before. It bothered me. What was I supposed to do to make things right?She had been kidnapped and hospitalised so many times, and I knew my life was dangerous for her. To make things worse, she misunderstood something I said, thinking I would hurt our child. What did she think of me?That night, after I apologised again and again, she ran off. Even after almost being killed by Camilla, she didn’t stop. She must have cared about me, right? But then her mother died, and she left, probably thinking it was better to get hurt by someone else than by me.Now, she’s back in the Fierce Claws pack. For eight months, I’ve known where she’s been hiding. I watched over her, had guards keeping a close eye, though from a safe distance. I made sure she was protected, but I kept my distance too.

People walked past me, ignoring my pleas. No one knew who I was, and they didn’t care. I was invisible.“See where avoiding me got you?” Ethan’s voice came from behind me. I turned, and for the first time in my life, I was relieved to hear him.“Let’s get you somewhere safe,” he said, grabbing my arm and guiding me toward his car. I didn’t fight him. I couldn’t. He helped me into the car, and we sped off.The pain was unbearable now. I tried to hold back my screams, but it was impossible. Each contraction was worse than the last. I was losing control.Ethan pulled up to a small cottage—not a hospital—but it didn’t matter. “Someone, help!” he yelled as he carried me inside.An older man and two young women rushed over, guiding me to a bed.

I was back home, tucked safely in bed, but the memories hit me hard. It all came rushing back—my uncle, Camilla, and the knife. I almost died.But Dane saved me.Camilla had tried to kill me, but Dane stopped her. He apologized, kissed me, but I was too tired to care at that moment. I had spent the whole day running and crying.

It was getting dark outside, and I had no idea how long I’d been asleep. Where was Dane?I stretched and got out of bed, glancing around. The room felt empty. Dane should’ve been here by now.
