Callista’s POV~~ I had promised myself never to use this power for my selfish interests, but Tristan isn’t the type to be easily swayed. I know he wouldn’t say the truth if I didn’t if I didn’t go hard on him. He is a powerful Alpha, no doubt, but I don’t think he would be able to resist my charm. I would need to control his mind a bit and make him spill the truth himself. The mind control seemed a little strange to me, and ever since I knew about it, Maya has been helping me out on how to use it effectively. All the powers that were beginning to manifest, he had directed me on how to use them. For mind control, I just have to trick his mind to tell the truth. He wouldn’t know how it was happening. He would just find himself saying what he didn’t want to say. He would feel used, and that’s how I want him to feel. “Where is healer Ragnar?” I yelled and locked her eyes with him with a sadistic smirk at the corner of her lips, relishing in his powerlessness and inability to fight my
Andrian’s POV~~ “I killed—” “My Alpha, are you going to tell her the truth?” I interrupted Alpha Tristan through the mind link when I noticed he was about to let the cat out of the bag. “I can’t seem to control my thoughts. It’s like she is using a spell on me. I don’t know how those words are coming out of my mouth,” he responded through the mind link. “How is that possible? Is she manipulating your thoughts?” I asked curiously, with my gaze fixed on Callista. “I think so, but don’t worry,” he replied, shutting off the mind link. The powers Callista was using left me awestruck. How did she come to have such great power within the five years she left? In just a few minutes, she had taken down most of our warriors, and she seemed to be making Alpha Tristan say what he didn't want to say. I have heard of controlling people’s minds, but I haven’t seen anyone do that. And now she wants to launch an attack on Alpha Tristan; does she think I would allow that? As his beta, it is my du
Callista’s POV~~ Looking at Lily and Andrian in each other’s arms reminded me of those moments with Tristan while I was still his Luna. The memories flooded into my mind as I watched them catch up with each other after five years of separation. I can’t doubt Andrian’s love for Lily. I remembered that he used to be all over her back then. The sheer thought of Tristan being my father’s and healer Ragnar’s killer made me boil with rage. I want him to bear the consequences of what he has done, and at the same time, I need to know who my father truly was, but now that the only person who knew about him and was his friend was killed by Tristan, it makes me feel hopeless and helpless. With the rage brewing inside me, I diverted my gaze from the two couples enjoying their reunion again. At least they should, while I also enjoy my revenge. As I turned to Tristan, I noticed he had been carried away from what was going on. His gaze was fixed on Tristan and Lily. He let his guards down. A wick
Tristan’s POV~~ The sight of Lily caught me by surprise. I couldn’t believe she was still alive when it was obvious she drank the poison that night. Was this all planned? I thought Callista, too, was dead, but here she was. My gaze lingered on the scene before me; the moment enveloped me in a whirlwind of emotions, carrying me away on a tide of overwhelming feelings. A pang of longing pierced my heart as I watched, wishing it was Callista and I that were in that position at that moment. The yearning in my eyes mirrored the ache in my soul as I silently yearned to be enveloped in that same warmth. The thought of losing my mate tightened my chest as misery sank its claws so deeply in my heart. I wished I could revert back to the hand of time and never break bonds with her. I was so lost in thoughts that I had forgotten about the impending attack. I thought she was feeling the same way I did, but it downed me when I saw the red lightning ball of energy surging towards me. My heart r
Third-person POV_FLASHBACK_“I won’t take pity on you weaklings,” Damian Ironclaw, the Alpha of the midnight Mirage pack, voice sliced through the silence, his tone firm yet tinged with a hint of desperation as he led his warriors with a determined stride. His fur, a sleek coat of silver, rippled with power and determination as he approached the border of the Midnight Mirage pack with his wolf warriors, whose eyes gleamed with anticipation for the battle ahead. Across the woods, with towering trees, the Midnight Mirage pack’s warriors awaited their fate. They were led by Sterling Stone, their Alpha, as they braced themselves for the inevitable clash with the Wolfsong Dominion pack. But deep down, they knew they were outmatched. Their numbers were fewer, and their strength was no match for the sheer might of Damian's pack.Beside Sterling was Kieran Logan, his beta; he is known for his wisdom and diplomacy. His gaze was fixed on the approaching threat. The tension in the air was palp
Callista’s POV“Ever since Sterling Stone, your father, was offered a peace treaty with the Wolfsong Dominion pack, Alpha Damian has kept to his promise. They didn’t invade our pack, and they all lived in peace,” Tristan explained as a murmur escaped the mouths of the watching pack members. “My father breached the agreement years later when we attacked the Wolfsong Dominion. It was during this attack that he ordered me to kill your father, fearing that he would come back to claim his rightful position as the Alpha of this pack,” Tristan finished, burying his face in his palm as regret etched over him. “Tristan! Why did you keep all these away from me?” Andrian shot Tristan a dagger with his eyes. He asked with a betrayed voice as he stood up and moved away from Tristan. Andrian only knows that Sterling Stone was the former Alpha before Tristan’s father. Tristan shook his head in regret. “I am sorry,” he pleaded regretfully.“You are evil,”“You don’t deserve any mercy, Alpha.”“He
Callista’s POV~~ “We will go meet daddy soon,” I replied, holding her hands as I turned back to Lily and Shaman Magnus. At the sight of them. A megawatt smile appeared on my face. They have made this possible for me, without them I don’t think I would be able to be here right now. They have kept me going when I felt hopeless. They are the only family I have now and I must reward them for what they have gone through for me and Jessica. In split seconds, I found myself running towards Shaman Magnus and in a twinkle of an eye I was already in his open arms ready to receive me. I hugged him tightly to myself like a daughter would do to her father. He has been more than a father to me in the last few years that we have been together. “Thank you Shaman Magnus,” I uttered with a gratitude filled voice. “I’m happy you finally have what belongs to you,” he said, his voice tinged with emotion. “It’s all thanks to you Shaman, thanks for standing by me all through thick and thin,” I added.
Callista’s POV~~“Esteemed members of the Midnight Mirage pack, tonight, I am happy to tell you that the true Alpha of this great pack is ready to take on the position of her father.” Andrian stopped and stared in my direction. I gestured at him to continue. “Look at the moon in its full bloom,” the gathered pack members said, raising their heads to look at the night sky. It’s like a big blanket of darkness with tiny sparkling lights—the stars scattered all over, like glitter. And there is the moon, a silvery ball, hanging up there in its full glory, shining so brightly like a giant glowing pearl. Seeing these things made a small smile creep up on my face. “This is a sign that the moon goddess supports this ceremony that is about to be conducted,” Andrian continued. “It is also a sign that she has Alpha’s blood.” Shaman Aurora Spiritwatcher commented; she is the shaman who confirmed that I had a pup with the Alpha’s blood that night before I was taken to the dungeon. Since she didn
