DANE'S POV

That jerk! It turns out that his plan had been set from the very start.

He'd always talked about wanting Astrid back, and his secret meetings with me—none of it was real. His true intention was to kill me from the beginning. He was just like Camilla, who was so desperate to have Astrid's life that she was willing to kill to get it.

Now, here was Halfdan, who had been secretly plotting to kill me and take my place.

"When you're gone," Halfdan sneered, "Astrid will have no choice but to come back to me. She won't have any other options. We will get married, and everything will fall back into place just like it was supposed to before you came into the picture.”

As I listened to his taunting words, my anger surged uncontrollably. I looked around and saw a crowd of men surrounding me, their eyes fixed on me with a mix of hostility and anticipation. I could feel my fists tightening into hard balls, and my teeth grinding together in frustration and rage.

    DANE'S POV.A loud yawn escaped my lips as I slowly blinked awake, my eyelids heavy with sleep. The morning light filtered through the curtains, casting soft shadows across the room. I stretched out my hand, searching the bed beside me for the familiar warmth of Astrid, but my fingers only met cold sheets. She wasn't there.A pang of loneliness settled in my chest as I remembered the events of the previous night. The memories were still fresh, the pain of it all almost unbearable. I had almost managed to forget how terrible it had been, but now it came rushing back with a cruel clarity. The battle, the blood, the fear, the baby; it all played in my mind like a haunting melody.With a sigh, I pushed myself up from the bed, the weight of exhaustion still clinging to my muscles. My eyes drifted down to my side, where the deep gash had been. The stitches were barely visible now, the wound almost completely healed. It was a small comfort, a recollection of my werewolf nature. Being a

    Dane's POV.A frustrated groan escaped my lips as I ran my hands through my hair, the tension building in my chest. Why on earth was Edmond bothering me again? What could he possibly want this time?“Well then, fine!” I snapped, the irritation clear in my voice. “Let him stay as long as he likes. He lied to me—right to my face. He was the one who kidnapped Astrid back then, but he looked me dead in the eye and blamed Halfdan. And now I’m supposed to meet with someone so hateful and treacherous?” The very thought of it made my blood boil.“We don’t have much of a choice,” Ivar said, his voice calm yet firm. “Meeting with him might be the quickest way to get rid of him. We wouldn’t want him lurking around in the shadows when the full moon rises.”I knew exactly what Ivar meant. The last thing I needed was Edmond snooping around, especially with the full moon approaching and the curse ready to take hold. Edmond was dangerous, and keeping him close, even briefly, might be the best way

    ASTRID'S POV.A steady beeping noise filled my ears, repeating over and over. I let out a frustrated groan. I tried to open my eyes, but bright light hit them immediately, making it hard to see. I rubbed my hands over my eyes to help adjust and then looked around the strange room."How did I end up here?" I noticed an IV drip connected to the back of my hand and felt how sore my body was. I tried to move my arms but couldn’t manage."What exactly happened to me?"I swallowed nervously and slowly tried to sit up. Just then, the door opened, and Dr. Miles walked in with a small, reassuring smile on his face.“You’re awake,” Dr. Miles said as he checked the machine next to my bed and made some notes in a chart.He looked at me and asked, “Do you feel any drowsiness? Any pain or aches?”“Yes,” I responded, struggling to move my limbs. “I can’t really move much. What happened to me?” I asked again, trying to piece together what had happened, but all I could recall was a severe headache.

    ASTRID'S POV"Dane was here?" I asked, my voice trembling as the words left my lips. My throat tightened as a sudden, terrifying realization hit me—someone had been watching us, listening to us. That someone was Dane.Without wasting a second, I yanked the drip out of my wrist and bolted toward the door, my heart racing."Where are you going, Astrid?" Beta Ivar's voice called out, halting me in my tracks. But I couldn't stop. I ignored his questions and lunged for the door, desperate to escape. My fingers just barely brushed the doorknob when I felt his hand gently grab my wrist, pulling me back. The sudden tug made me stumble, and I flinched in surprise, realizing I was caught."Talk to me. What's wrong?" he asked again, his voice laced with concern. I could feel goosebumps rise on my skin as memories of what had happened flooded my mind, making my heart race with anxiety."I have to leave; I need to speak to Dane. I have to explain something to him," I shot back, struggling to fr

    Astrid's POV. When I finally opened my eyes, it was morning. I blinked slowly, trying to shake off the lingering grogginess. I felt a little better, though still lightheaded. The sedative had done its job, lulling me into a deep sleep, but now something felt off. The room was eerily quiet, and the silence gnawed at me.I turned my head to the side, expecting to see someone—anyone—but the room was empty. Dane wasn’t here. Beta Ivar had promised to explain everything to him, to clear up the misunderstanding, so why wasn’t he here? Why hadn’t he come to see me?An uneasy feeling settled in my chest, tightening with each passing second. The suffocating silence pressed down on me, amplifying my worries. Maybe Dane had just stepped out for a moment, gone to get something, or maybe he was busy. But no matter how I tried to rationalise it, I couldn’t shake the dread that something was wrong.My thoughts began to race, each one more frantic than the last. Had Dane refused to listen to Iva

    DANE'S POVThe door suddenly swung open with a loud creak, making me look up from my desk. I had specifically instructed Beta Ivar that no one was to enter the study and that I wanted to be left undisturbed. My irritation grew as I saw Astrid walk in unannounced.As I took in her appearance, I noticed she still looked pale and fragile. Her presence here was concerning, considering she was supposed to be recovering in the hospital. The sight of her in such a state, despite the seriousness of her condition, only fueled my frustration further.Astrid moved toward me with an anxious expression, her voice trembling as she began to explain. She spoke quickly, trying to clarify what had happened between her and Halfdan. She was desperate to convince me that the situation had been a misunderstanding, that it was merely an accidental embrace and that there was no romantic involvement between them.My anger flared as I listened. Her insistence on spinning a story felt like another betrayal.

I stepped out of the car, the cool night air doing little to ease the searing pain within me.I hastened my steps into the archery building, my frustration mounting with every stride. I needed to channel my anger somewhere, or I might end up making a rash decision I’d regret later.As I stormed through the door, a female attendant immediately looked up and bowed her head respectfully. “Alpha Dane,” she greeted, her voice steady but tinged with apprehension.“Is anyone else here?” I demanded curtly, my tone leaving no room for error.“Yes, Alpha,” she replied, her voice steady but her eyes betraying her nervousness. “A few people are still around.”“Clear the grounds,” I ordered with a sharp edge in my voice. “I want everyone gone, including the staff, e

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!

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

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?

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.
