Dane's POV.

“Alpha Dane, we...” Beta Ivar, who had sprinted up to me the second I left Astrid's room, spoke up, but before he could finish his words, I cut in, halting his statement to me instantly.

“Why did you tell the enemy about my curse? Why?” I fumed as I asked him with a deep voice, my eyes piercing through his as I awaited his response.

From how he kept acting, there was no doubt that he was scared of me, and there was no doubt that he never expected such questions from me.

"Alpha, I...” he stuttered before pursuing his lips, obviously not sure about what he was going to say to me.

Well, he better retains a good explanation. Cursed by my father, I swore never to show it or reveal it. The plan was to conceal it till the end, till it was broken, but as it stands, Astrid, my enemy Mate, knew about it, and believe me when I say I'm convinced it wasn't protected anymore.

With time, everyone will know about it because she loathed me.

    Dane's POV. “You are beginning to love her, Alpha Dane.” Ivar uttered, making me freeze in place for a split second. There was no way I was falling in love with my enemy. Just as I kept struggling to get my thoughts together, I recalled the moment I had woken up from my slumber, how I had reached for her hair, and the way my heart raced just by that simple act. How I was immediately attracted to her, how I wished never to watch her wake up and rise from my body. It all came back to me, but that doesn't mean I would accept such a fact. “No! Never! There's no way I'm falling for the enemy! Astrid is the enemy, and no matter what happens, falling in love with her isn't the plan.” I asserted, running my fingers through my hair. It would be a disaster to fall in love with Astrid. “It's not going to be a bad idea, Dane... The moon goddess has given you your mate, and it's left for you to…”Beta Ivar was immediately cut short by me. “It's left for me to use her however I want!” I declar

    Dane's POV. “She is being tagged as a threat to the Greenstone pack, and she must go on her knees to beg Camilla!” Edmond declared with an audible voice, provoking me the more. “You want my mate, your Luna to...” I was going to say, but almost immediately, he cut in, making me stunned for a split second. “Oh no, Alpha Dane... She isn't my Luna yet; she isn't our Luna yet, not until she goes to make things right! We wouldn't want to fail the trust of Alpha Halfdan, and I'm pretty sure you are aware of it.” He stated, my eyes were becoming vicious as I gazed around the room. No one was speaking; no one was saying anything to him or trying to correct him. He had paid off each of them, and it made it difficult for any of them to stand up against him and oppose him. “Well, Edmond…” I stood to my feet, and with slow but deliberate strides, I walked over to where he was seated. Maliciously, I sat down on the table, making me stay pretty close before him with a smirk curling up across m

    Dane's POV. “They will never get what they want, even if there is to be a war!” I proclaimed with a tightened fist. I couldn't believe what they had tried to make me do or my Luna. Just as I was raging or kept thinking about what the elders had said to me, Beta Ivar walked closer to where I was sitting, and because he was comfortable around me, he sat down on the table facing me. “I'm sorry for what they said to you, Alpha Dane… But don't you think it's best to avoid a war? We are still trying to make the pack the most comfortable and best pack... Let's avoid this war” Beta Ivar gave a hint, but I didn't take his direction. That was never the kind of suggestion or opinion I wanted from him.“Listen to me, Ivar... If there's going to be a war because my Luna has refused to kneel before them, then I'm willing to accept it and fight! Don't you get it!?” I snapped as I tried to explain this to him. He should know how belittling it was if my Luna went into their pack and went on her kn

    Astrid's POV.With my fingers fidgeting, I kept pacing around the room with just one thought: why would Alpha Dane ask that they lock me up in the room? One thing I knew was that there was no way I was going to expose his curse or secret. He must have felt so vulnerable hearing me ask him such questions. “You really shouldn't have done so, Astrid!” I said to myself with a soft canard, my voice barely above a whisper at this point. “But knowing his secret shouldn't have made him treat me badly, should it? I don't deserve such from him!” I noted as I tightened my fist. Just then, I halted and stared at the door. I couldn't help but ponder one thing, and that was how I was going to escape from the pack. I needed to leave and go somewhere to hide. I couldn't go back to Alpha Halfdan, but at least I could go back to my father and ask for his mercy. He was my father, and I strongly believed that he was going to forgive me if I went on my knees. “Yes, I can't stay here and be treated

    Astrid's POV. "Even if you didn't commit the offence, Luna, I strongly suggest that you humble yourself and offer her a sincere apology." His words dripped with malice, his lips twisting into a contemptuous sneer.As he spoke, I couldn't shake the feeling that his motives were sinister. It was unclear why he was pressuring me to apologise, but it was evident that his intentions were not for the benefit of Alpha Dane.Deep down, I sensed that my presence within the pack posed a threat to Alpha Dane. While I knew he had deep hatred for me, I still couldn't bring myself to intentionally harm him.The weight of guilt settled heavily upon me as I realised the consequences of the false accusations against Alpha Dane. It was my fault he was unjustly targeted, my fault he endured such hardship. With a heavy heart, I lowered my gaze to the ground, consumed by remorse.Despite the gnawing guilt, the idea of apologising to Camilla started to appeal to me. Perhaps extending an olive branch wou

    Astrid's POV.“Am I not old enough for you that you had to chase after the pack's Ex-Beta?” Alpha Dane's words rang out of his lips with so much venom and disgust that they instantly infuriated me. Here I was thinking that he was about to say something else, to persuade me to kneel before Camilla, but I was wrong. He just wanted to make fun of me and make me look like a fool.“Speechless now?” His brows creased as a smirk curled up on his lips. There was definitely no way I could keep quiet after what he had said to me. Right before he could say another word to me, before he could keep breathing on my face, I placed my hand on his chest and forcefully pushed him away from my body. “Get away from me!” I snapped, my eyes blazing with nothing but fury and rage. I just never expected him to act so silly in front of me. “Get away from you? And what makes you think that I'd do that? You are mine, remember?” He came closer to where I stood, and with every move being calculated and a sens

    Astrid's POV. Just as he pulled his lips off my nipple, I couldn't help but notice one thing: he was horny too, just as I was. “Why don't I give you what you want instead of you begging for it from Edmond?” He asserted before he leaned closer to my face, our noses rubbing against each other as his eyes were still fixed on mine. I wished to push him away but I couldn't. I craved his lips and his touch. I craved for every fucking specialty of his. His left hand instantly went beneath my body, and as he wrapped his arms around me, he pulled me closer to his body and seized my lips again in an intense kiss.I kissed his back, my arms curling around his neck, as he was still massaging his head while we kissed on the bed. Just then, I felt his fingers trail from my face down to my neck, then my boobs. They fondled my boobs domineeringly, making a soft moan escape my lips immediately. Without a second thought, he made a beeline down to my exposed tummy. His fingers drew a circle-like sh

    Astrid's POV. “She's just a pawn to me!” The words rang out from Alpha Dane's study room, which instantly sent shivers running down my spine. If there was anything that I wasn't expecting, it was definitely the part of him announcing that I was his pawn. Here I was, beginning to think and believe that he was beginning to fall for me, not knowing he still had the thoughts of using me to his own advantage. My fist clenched, and immediately, the tears in my eyes began to dry up. The pent-up anger that boiled and raged within me left no room for weakness. Sniffling and trying to control my intense urge for him, I turned on my heels and headed back to my room at full speed. I didn't bother turning around or looking back to know if Alpha Dane had left his study and found me; my focus was just getting to my room. The second I got into my room, I had the door slammed forcefully as it made an echoing sound in the room. “A pawn? What a fool I was!” I folded my arms across my chest as I

    Astrid's POV. I slowly pushed myself up from the bed, rubbing my eyes as I took in my surroundings. 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. After escaping to the pack with Ethan, I had spent many sleepless nights, my mind racing with fears. I was terrified that Dane would sacrifice our child, that he wouldn’t care about us. But I was wrong.Dane would never hurt our baby. He and Ethan to

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.

Exhausted from the fear and pain, I must have fallen asleep on the ride back.Looking out the window, I frowned. Something felt off. 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.
