last update Last Updated: 2024-10-29 19:42:56

Astrid’s POV

I grunted at the pounding headache that had overtaken my body. I can barely see straight — everything is blurry, and I feel so disoriented like I was drugged.

However, I haven’t eaten or drank anything this morning. It’s impossible that I was poisoned.

What’s happening to me is strange but also familiar. This was the same thing that happened to me the last time that I lost control of myself and attacked Asha.

First, there was that pounding headache, and then once the pain was gone… I suddenly lost control of my body.

I pressed my palms firmly against my temples as if I could somehow squeeze the pain out. But it’s no use. The throbbing only intensifies.

It feels like my brain is being squeezed in a vice-like grip. The pain is excruciating, radiating from the center of my skull down to my neck and shoulders.

Still, I tried my best to fight through the pain and keep my eyes open. I can’t let what happened last time happen again.

I’m afraid that if I allowed my wolf to

    Astrid’s POVI pressed my body on Killian as I leaned forward in pain. My lips twisted as the searing pain on my back tore through my whole body, my muscles tightening and my veins freezing. “A-Astrid,” Killian choked out, his eyes widening with horror when he saw the pain etched across my face. “W-What?” I choked out, panic flooding my senses as I started to realize what had just happened. I took in a deep breath when something sharp was yanked from my back. My body went rigid, and I squeezed Killian’s arms, my nails digging into his skin as the agony ripped through me. At that moment, time seemed to slow to a crawl. I could feel the blood pulsing in my ears, the air catching in my throat. Slowly, I looked down when I felt the wetness of blood begin to soak through my clothes. “No, no, no,” I heard Killian breathe, his voice thick with anguish after he followed my gaze. His words sounded distant, muffled as if I was underwater. I watched as his expression morphed into one

    Killian’s POVMy heart was relieved to see the Shadowfang Pack coming, knowing that they were the only ones who could save Astrid’s life. Even though I know that they would take Astrid away from me, I am more concerned about Astrid’s health. With the Shadowfang Pack behind Astrid’s Pack, I know Astrid will never need me anymore. She would be happy with Drystan and her friend Nova. All I just had to do was to avoid her if I really wanted her to be happy. I watched with trepidation as the members of the Shadowfang Pack who had just arrived came to approach us. I held Astrid’s limp, bleeding form tightly against my chest, fear and anxiety coursing through me. Yet, despite my wariness, a flicker of relief sparked within me. The Shadowfang Pack were Astrid’s people — they were the only ones who could provide the medical care that Astrid needed. They came right in time to save her. Still, deep inside my heart, below the great relief that I felt with the Shadowfang Pack’s prese

    Alpha Theron’s POVThe air in the hallway felt thick and suffocating as I paced anxiously outside the emergency room doors. Astrid is in there, fighting for her life after the horrific accident. I had rushed her here as quickly as I could. We were able to give her first aid treatment along the way and stop her bleeding, but serious damage had already been done. She had already lost so much blood when we arrived at the scene. The first aid treatment that we gave her could only do so much. With each passing minute, my heart raced faster. Astrid and I had only just met; we hadn’t even gotten close to each other yet. I can’t bear to lose her again, especially at death this time. I still haven’t had the chance to be her father. The small interactions that we had were still not enough. I haven’t even crossed the wall she built around her heart yet. I can’t lose her just like this. I spun around when the emergency doors swung open, and Astrid’s Doctor emerged, his expression dimmed. As

    Alpha Theron’s POV“Doctor Smith, as a doctor, how could you allow something like this?” Asha questioned the Doctor angrily. “Wasn’t it taught to you that werewolves have special blood? Even if they have the same blood type, we also need to make sure that both bloods are at the same level, or else the patient will die.”I turned alarmed when I heard Asha’s words. “Are you trying to kill my daughter?!” I roared at the Doctor.Seeing that I had turned angry, the Doctor instantly bowed his head to us in surrender. “Lady Asha, I am fully aware of this matter, but if Alpha Theron is really her father, then that makes him the best fit for a donor.”Asha scoffed. “Best fit? Doctor Smith, have you become stupid?” Asha questioned back, making the Doctor shake his head in fear. After all, Astrid and I are on the opposite side of the spectrum. If a drop of my blood got mixed into her blood, it could already be enough to kill her because of the difference we had in our wolves. “Lady Asha, aside

    Asha’s POVThough my face remained impassive, inside, I simmered in anger. I couldn’t believe that my father would still insist on giving his blood even though Andros and I were willing to go under the needle for him. My father has grown weak with age. He is not the same strong and powerful man that he was before. The stress of handling a huge Pack has taken its toll on his body. I’m angry at my father, who still insists on doing this, knowing how this could affect his health. As an Alpha, he has to keep all his strength to himself. With all the tasks he is in charge of, he desperately needs to be in good health all the time. I moved with practised precision as I prepared the kit that I would be using. My father gave me a steady gaze. He’s been staring at me for a long time without saying anything. His stare unnerves me the most because I’m secretly angry at him. “Dad, are you sure about this?” I asked him one last time as I held the needle in one hand after I had prepared everyth

    Alpha Theron’s POVAs I sat at my desk in my office, facilitating a Pack meeting, my mind kept drifting to Astrid. She still had not woken up, even after I had given my blood in a desperate attempt to save her. I was glad when her body had no adverse effects on my blood. I believe with all my heart that she is my daughter, but the fact that she was born with pure omega blood made me fear that my strong blood could cause adverse effects on her body. It is bad luck that everything happened yesterday, and today happened to be Monday. Meetings are scheduled every Monday morning. Even though my body is still feeling weak because of the amount of blood that I donated, I cannot skip today’s meeting. Astrid had lost a lot of blood, and I was the only donor who could give her all the blood that she needed. They had no choice but to continue drawing my blood three times more than the normal amount of blood that my body can normally give because if not, all my efforts of giving my blood wou

    Alpha Theron’s POVI stared at Alek, who had always been loyal to me. I had no problems with Alek; he is always good at whatever job you give him. Not only that, but I could also trust him with everything, even though we weren’t really that close. That’s right, Alek and I weren’t really close, and it’s because I wasn’t really born as an Alpha. I may have been born with pure Alpha blood, but the Alpha position was my older brother’s by birthright. Alek had that special bond with my older brother and not me. In fact, Alek is years older than me; he is the same age as my brother. They were perfect. They were best friends growing up, and they were destined to help each other and lead the Pack as the Alpha and Beta of the Pack. Meanwhile, I was the black sheep of the family. I was the neglected child. I was that child that no one wanted. Finding no place in our Pack, I grew up outside the Pack, where I also met Drystan and then Astrid’s mother. Alek and my older brother soon rec

    Giselle’s POVAfter Alpha Theron took Astrid away, Killian’s mood changed. He dragged me by the arm and pushed me inside the car without saying anything. He never spoke a word as he drove the car. He remained silent even after I demanded answers. His expression remained cold as he kept his gaze on the road, not paying me any of his attention. Killian has never acted like this, cold and silent. The treatment that he gave me terrified me. For a moment, I thought he was going to take me somewhere to kill me.Instead, he drove us back to the Silvermoon Pack, surprising me. My heart raced when Killian suddenly pulled me out of the car. “Killian, what are you doing?!” I yelled at him as I struggled against his hold. I felt humiliated when I saw the Omegas that served us in the Packhouse were looking at us. Their eyes were glued to Killian’s hand, and they were tightly wrapped around my arm. I glared at the Omegas who were watching us. They instantly turned their heads away like they s

Three warriors trailed closely behind me, their presence both reassuring and a reminder of how grave the situation was.When I found him in the main hall, his expression was a mix of concern and focus. The weight of leadership never left his shoulders, even now, as danger closed in on us.“Father,” I called, my voice firm but urgent. “The rogues have breached the borders. Andros sent me to evacuate you. We have to leave now.”His brows furrowed deeply, his gaze shifting toward the window where the faint glow of fires could be seen in the distance. “How could this be? How could they get past the security measures so fast? We have the most advanced technology. How could the rogues enter our perimeters just like that?” My father echoed the same questions that I had, but there was no time to think. “The rogues woul

    Astrid’s POVThe moon hung high in the sky, its cold light spilling into the quiet room. I sat on the edge of my bed, staring at the open suitcase before me. My hands shook as I carefully folded my clothes, my mind a tangled mess of emotions I couldn’t untangle.I was my father’s legitimate daughter.The truth had unraveled everything I thought I knew about myself. For years, I’d believed I was nothing — a mistake, a stain on his perfect image. I’d told myself I didn’t belong, that I would never be worthy and that I was just a trouble to their perfect family. And now, knowing it was all a lie… it left me hollow.He’d hidden the truth from me. From all of us. I wasn’t sure what hurt more— the truth itself, or the years of deception.I clenched a shirt in my fists, my breath trembling as I fought to steady it. This doesn’t change anything. I couldn’t let it. He might have been my father by blood, but he had never been a father to me. That bond had been broken long before I even kn

    Asha’s POVThe soft crunch of leaves beneath my boots was the only sound as I walked through the forest path.My mother’s grave is far from the Packhouse. She is buried in a secluded area, giving her peace. The cool air carried a solemn stillness that matched my mood. Visiting her grave was my sanctuary, a place where I could let my guard down and remember the woman who raised me.That’s when I saw him — Andros, my older brother, standing at the edge of the woods. The shadows from the trees seemed to engulf him, and his posture was rigid, alert. Was he here to visit Mother too? I wondered. My heart swelled at the thought. It wasn’t often that Andros and I shared these quiet moments. As the crowned Alpha he has too many responsibilities placed on his shoulder. He was always busy. I opened my mouth to call out to him but stopped short when another figure emerged from the shadows. My brows furrowed. The man wore a black hoodie that concealed most of his face, and his movements wer

    Asha’s POVI staggered back, shaking my head in disbelief. “That’s not true. That can’t be true,” I mumbled as if I was just trying to convince myself.“I was left with no choice, Asha. Your mother—Luna Jamaica—was my brother’s mate. He was the rightful Alpha. But when he died, the Pack needed a leader. And I… I was the only option. I was forced to marry her to maintain stability. To keep this Pack from falling apart.”My father’s eyes turned red as he tried his best to hold back his tears. My heart wrenched as I feel for his pain. This is the first time I ever saw my father look so vulnerable. “I gave up everything. My mate. My happiness. My future. I gave it all away for this Pack, for a life I never wanted. And every day since, I have lived with that choice. With the weight of betraying my mate, of turning my back on the only woman I ever loved.”I stared at him, my body trembling as the truth settled over me like a suffocating blanket. Everything I had believed, everything I

    Asha’s POVI squared my shoulders as I faced my father, my eyes narrowing at him in anger. I crossed my arms tightly over my chest, the weight of years of frustration and jealousy boiling to the surface. My father simply stood before me, his usual composed demeanor tinged with a rare expression of exasperation, but I didn’t care. Not anymore“She doesn’t even call you Father!” I spat, my voice trembling with anger. “Not once in her life has Astrid ever acknowledged you as her father. And yet, you treat her like she’s some prized treasure. Why, Father? Because you feel guilty for neglecting her? She’s just your illegitimate child! It’s best that she realize she’s not special!” I blurted out angrily.Alpha Theron’s jaw tightened, but he didn’t speak. That silence — his silence — was what always drove me mad. He would never defend himself, never justify his actions, as if I were the one being unreasonable. But I wasn’t.“She’s ungrateful!” I continued, pacing back and forth as my em

    Astrid’s POVThe silence after the call ended was heavier than the words I hadn’t spoken.I remained frozen, clutching the phone as though its weight could tether me to the choices I had made. Each unspoken truth tightened like a vice around my chest, each lie stealing the air I so desperately needed.I wanted nothing more than to turn back, to run to Ryker and finally tell him who I really was. But how could I? How could I be so selfish, so reckless? I knew the truth about my condition — how dangerous and uncertain everything is. How could I let him get close to me, knowing how it will all end?The thought of Ryker loving me, only to lose me, was unbearable. I couldn’t let him go through that pain, the kind of pain that had already hollowed me out. I knew it too well — the ache of losing someone you’d give anything to keep. The searing, unrelenting agony of losing my husband, the devastation of outliving my child. I wouldn’t wish that torment on anyone, least of all Ryker.A shiv

    Killian’s POVIt had been days since Ryker had last seen Giselle, and Ryker still hadn’t asked a single question about her mother. At first, I was afraid of what he’d say, dreading the moment he’d look me in the eye and ask, Where’s my mother? I couldn’t bring myself to tell him the truth, knowing how much it would break him. How could I possibly explain to him that Giselle is not her mother, and that she’s dead. In his whole life, Ryker believed that Giselle was his mother — she’d raised him, after all, and he’d known her as nothing else.I know it would be difficult for him to accept and process the whole truth, and I was trying my best to avoid the confrontation from him. But now… I’m no longer just worried about Ryker’s difficult questions now I wasn’t just avoiding the question. I am now worried wondering why he still haven’t asked me any question. In the days that had passed, he hadn’t asked even once. Not a word about Giselle. No concern, no curiosity. Just silence. And

    Alpha Theron’s POVAndros scoffed, his disbelief clear as he tilted his head back. “You are choosing Astrid over me?” he spat out. “You’re going to make her the crowned Luna of this Pack? It’s only been three years since you met her, and you think she’s worthy of this title? What do you think Asha would say? Astrid isn’t even your legitimate child!”I met his gaze, my own expression resolute. “Astrid has proven herself capable. She’s been our acting Beta for three years and led as the Luna of the Silvermoon Pack for five years before that. She has the qualities, the skills, and the strength needed to lead. In terms of ability, Andros, she does her job far better than you.”Andros’s fists clenched, his expression darkening with insult and rage. “This is madness! The Pack won’t accept it! My mother is your true mate and the Luna of this Pack. Giving your position to someone who isn’t her child is an insult to her legacy and to this Pack!”I took a step forward, my voice unwavering.

    Alpha Theron’s POVA long silence settled over the room after I asked the question, heavy and tense. I kept my gaze fixed on Andros, waiting, hoping for a sign of remorse or an explanation. But what I saw instead shook me to my core. Andros looked back at me, and in that gaze, I saw a stranger. The gentle son I thought I knew was gone, and in his place stood a man cold and unyielding.Then he spoke, his voice sharper and louder than I had ever heard it, filled with a defiance that sent a chill through me. “You want to know why I did it?” he snapped, his tone a mix of anger and something darker. “I did it for us, for this pack. I was doing you a favor by doing what you could never bring yourself to do.”His words stunned me. Andros had never raised his voice to me, not once in all the years I’d known him. Even when I was harsh or demanding — as I always was, he had always accepted it in silence, never challenging me. But now, he stood before me, speaking without restraint, and I
