Lisa’s POV Experiencing Rhys' anger wasn't something I wished for, but the insane look in his eyes frightened the hell out of me. In the depths of his eyes, I saw loneliness, sadness, anger, pain, all these emotions and darkness in his eyes alone. He was frustrated, it was written all over his face, but his actions terrified me. Hot tears streamed down my cheeks as I dashed towards my room, my heart filled with despair. Rhys was my mate, having the slightest bit of attraction was normal, but seeing how much he was Infatuated with Felza angered me to the bones. I slammed the door shut, running my hands through my hair as tears ran down my cheeks. I bit my lips, almost biting off my tongue as his gaze flashed through my mind. If he knew he wouldn't get over her, why did he reject and banish her? Did he accept me as his mate just to torture and humiliate me? For hours, I remained in the same position, patiently waiting for Rhys to walk in and apologize, but it never happened. He prob
Rhys’ POVI'd told the generals I would come up with something the next day, but even after staying awake for a whole night, I came up with nothing. Inhaling Felza's scent from her used clothes calmed my nerves, but thinking about the war and what it had done made me angered again. The morning meeting ended up in chaos as the generals refused to accept my words. Like always, I refused the idea of pleading with Jayden or accepting whatever condition he had to offer. People were dying, yes, women were losing their mates, yes, but allowing Jayden to rule would bring more trouble. We would become slaves in our own land and I would lose my throne. Jayden would do worse things just to get back at me, but the generals wouldn't understand that.As I descended the stairs, I found Lisa getting the dining room ready for breakfast. Perhaps to make me guilty, she wore a revealing dress, showing the scar she got from me yesterday. I inhaled a deep breath and walked closer. She raised her head, her
Lisa’s POVHe played me The mother fucker played me and toyed with my emotions. I should have known he had a reason for rejecting Felza, and I should have known he had a reason for accepting me as his mate. He must have figured out everything months ago, but he still waited patiently for me to strike. I inhaled a shaky breath, running my hands through my hair as I stared at him. I pressed my lips tightly, taking a few steps backwards, “I'm not leading you to anyone.” I spat, hardening my gaze, “if you're going to kill me, then do it now.” Rhys chuckled darkly, his eyes swirling with hate, disgust and anger. He seemed to have hated me for quite some time, but he was good at hiding it, masking it with the feeling of longing for Felza. He took slow strides towards me, “killing you would be a waste.” he smiled, staring at me. In less than a second, a few guards appeared from nowhere and forced me to the ground. My breath hitched as tears gathered in my eyes, “I'm your mate, you asshole
Lisa’s POV.. I thought I could handle the tortue. I'd thought torture only had to do with my body, but the blue moon pack tortured my mind as well. They made sure they broke me in half, making sure that my whole body would tremble at the sound of their voice. It's just been a few days, but Rhys didn't bother to check up on me. He made sure his pack warriors traumatized me, almost driving me insane. I inhaled a shaky breath, dragging my butt on the ground when the gate opened again. The warrior approached me with a different weapon and I swallowed at the sight, my lips trembling as tears streamed down my cheeks. My whole cloth was soaked in blood, my own blood. Dieing would have been better than experiencing this, but that was the feeling they all wanted me to think of. They wanted to twist my mind, drive me insane and make me accept their words. I shook my head slowly, dragging my elongated nails on the ground, “don't come near me, you beasts!” I snapped, my voice trembling with
Axel’s POV.. Like old times, Sapphire and I were starting to get along pretty well, but her last words about my mother's death still echoed in my ears. The banquet to celebrate Sapphire was the first in many years, and she was quite honored that the celebration started with her awakening. The whole pack was decorated beautifully and her favorite colors were on display. I made arrangements for some soft ball music, snacks and a little game to get everyone more excited. Not just the royals were invited, but everyone in the whole pack. Children, adults, teenagers, nannies, everyone got an invitation. With a large smile on her lips, Sapphire approached me, raising a glass of wine, “Brother, this is beautiful.” Her voice was soft, soft and elegant. Hell, any man getting my sister must be lucky as hell. I flashed her a small smile, “Anything for you, my lady.” I bowed, and she laughed harder, showing her pearly white teeth. She tucked some strands of her blonde hair behind her ears, “Is F
Felza's POVHaving a new life breathing inside of me made me giddy and excited, but for the last few minutes, Axel had been pacing around with a huge frown on his face. I inhaled a shaky breath and sat upright, “you should sit.” I whispered, “You've been pacing for half an hour.” He flipped his attention to me and sighed, “Felza, this is an opportunity for us. You can't tell me you're unaware of my feelings for you.” I sucked in a breath and averted my gaze, knowing the right thing to do was to remain quiet. Talking right now would only make matters worse. He took slow strides towards me and leaned closer, placing his hands on my pillow, “Felza, I know you're aware of what I feel for you. Let's take care of this child together. I promise I won't be partial.” “Axel” I breathed, turning to look at him, “My heart still belongs to him.” I confessed, blinking back my tears. Rhys banished me, humiliated me and rejected me, but my heart still belonged to him. I still couldn't stop think
Lisa's POVIn the dead of the night, the whole pack was asleep but I was writing in pain. With every minute that passed by, I felt my life flash before me. My whole body was on fire and the fact that I was thirsty only made matters worse. Spending days in this dungeon has been a nightmare. Sleeping became the only way to rest, but each time, a bucket of salt was all it took to wake me up from my torturous slumber. Wounds covered my whole body and I wondered if I could still recognize myself. I layed there on the ground, hoping the moon goddess would remember and send someone for me. A tear slipped down my cheeks as pain wracked through my whole body. It was like my whole body was set ablaze, everything and everywhere. My nails have been removed, my toe nails as well. The slowest and most painful torture I had to experience was watching my nails get pierced by a niddle. With each passing second, I still recalled the moment and shivered. Slow footsteps made me open up my eyes. Another
Rhys' POVLisa's actions had stunned me to the core, and the fact that she was able to escape without getting caught was enough to anger me to death. Sebastian or whoever helped her had killed almost all my men. All the pack warriors laid limp in their own blood. Such activity could only be done during the night, but it was also the main reason I ensured that her cell was strictly protected. I had strong men situated at every corner, but Sebastian had outsmarted them all. I ran my hands through my hair and slammed my fists on the wall, “how on earth did an injured person get so far? You could have done something, anything to get her captured. Instead, you got your arses and ran back to the pack. Don't you think she and her accomplice could be hiding somewhere? You should have killed them when you had the chance!” Making this long sentence in a few minutes stunned me, but there was nothing an upset person couldn't handle. I was a man of few words, which also explained the look of sh
FELZA’s POVAxel had a mate? He met his mate? I still couldn't get that revelation off my head as I fought some rouges. Axel had surprised me greatly; coming to fight for my pack even when we humiliated him was a great sign of strength. A rouge charged towards me, his teeth bared, as he tried to slash his sword through my neck. I ducked and cut off his legs instead. He screamed out loud and I chuckled at how beautiful that sounded. Earlier, I couldn't handle the picture of Rhys getting tortured that way. I'd killed Lisa in the blink of an eye, and I was quite surprised I felt satisfied by it. I ran towards Rhys to give him a helping hand, “You need to rest.” “Not when I have the chance to finish this up forever.” He smiled, slashing the rouge's throat. At the same time, our gaze landed on Sebastian who was guarded with a few rouges. In just a few minutes, thousands of rouges lay dead on the ground, and I even sighted a few of Rhys' pack warriors. Axel must have freed them from the
RHYS’ POVI thought I'd experienced pain several times, but nothing could be compared to what I felt now. Sebastian had chained Felza to a chair, forcing her to watch me get tortured. In the same position, my hands were chained to the ceiling, while my legs dangled freely like I was about to get executed. Even though I couldn't see them, about two rouges continued slashing my back with a leather whip with thorns, while Lisa focused on piercing my nails with needles, serving me exactly what my men had done to her. Another slash on my back and I wondered if I could really take this anymore. “Leave him alone, please.” Felza whimpered, crying out loud, as she trembled in the chair. She'd tried closing her eyes, but each time she heard me groan, her eyes fluttered open as tears spilled down her cheeks. I'd pressed my lips together, swallowing down my groans, but when Lisa pierced my thumb, a loud groan escaped my lips, “When are you going to stop, huh?” I whispered breathlessly, closing
AXEL’S POVActing on Chris' words might as well be the most stupid thing I'd ever done. Alright, alright, his idea was the best thing that's ever happened to me. I held a banquet, the most talked about in my pack and I found a woman, a stark contrast to Felza, but she enchanted me almost immediately—my mate. I was struck by her beauty, her elegance and her kind heart. Within the last few weeks, our bond grew, and I kept thanking the moon goddess for making me find her. Every night we prepared dinner together and talked about our whole day while having our meal filled with love. Diana made sure she painted my world with beautiful colors, her smile, her laughter and her encouraging words. In just a few weeks, my life changed in ways I couldn't imagine. My aggressive nature was all gone and I couldn't thank Chris more for his perfect and slightly insane idea. “Let's serve dinner since Chris is coming over with his girlfriend.” Diana's voice settled in my ears and I smiled, turning to
LISA’S POVThe plan went extremely well. Better than I could have ever imagined. While the whole pack was asleep, hundreds of rouges—which I lead, infiltrated the Bluemoon pack. We killed a few pack warriors and kept the others chained in the dungeon, and that was just the beginning of their nightmare. Rhys had no idea what's gotten to him when he saw me. He looked shocked, perhaps by my sword dripping with blood, or with the fact that I was back to take what truly belonged to me. A day like this was perfect, perhaps the most perfect day I'd had in a few years.It felt like being on a rollercoaster, listening to the screams of the same pack warriors who made my life miserable. Picking between Rhys and his family wasn't actually a problem. I knew my rouges would get them captured before they got any far and so, I spent my time with Rhys in the dungeon. I had him chained on the wall, his legs and hands set aside like he were hung on a cross. I picked up a dagger, my favorite dagger, a
FELZA’S POV“We shouldn't have left him behind.” I whispered, as we walked through the woods. We'd managed to leave the library, but I could still feel someone on our tail. I tightened my hold on Halo, as we made our way foward, “I wonder what they're going to do to him. We have to go ba—”“No!” Eric snapped, turning to face me. His brows were furrowed deeply as he said, “I care for the Alpha, but your safety matters as well. As soon as we get to Vanessa's, we'll think of a plan to get him out of there.” He seemed sincere, but there was a chilling glint in his eyes when he gazed at me. I swallowed hard and nodded, hoping the moon goddess would keep my husband safe. Halo tightened her hold around my neck, sniffing as a few drops of her tears caressed my skin, “would father be fine? We still have a memories to fill, to make. He's coming back right?” Unsure of the answer, I nodded slowly, “He will come back.” I assured Halo, or maybe I was assuring myself as well. We walked for a few mo
RHYS’ POV“Rouges” “Rouges” They were definitely behind Nora's death. Eric took slow strides towards me, “they must have used the secret entrance to sneak in at night.” And only Nora could have given them the exact spot of the secret entrance; it explained why Sebastian tortured her to death. I balled my hands into fists, anger surging through my veins. I weaved my hands through my hair, gritting out, “we have to kill them all.” “Or you have to get your family to safety. They're taking over the entire pack house. They've killed almost all our men. They infiltrated the pack at night. If we fight against them, we would lose our lives.” For the first time, I felt the urge to punch Eric in the face for being a coward. “You expect me to leave the pack house in ruins? Fleed just because I want to be safe?” “You have a daughter. She's only four; do you want her to live without a father?!” Eric yelled back, his eyes glistening with tears. He ran towards the door, locked it up and faced me
FELZA’S POVIn the last few days, I'd never seen Rhys in such a dejected shape. For hours he kept staring at Nora's room, perhaps wishing she would open up the door and jump in his arms—but she didn't. He did it continuously, walking across the hallway to come to a stop in front of her room. It's been a few days, but Rhys couldn't take the news of Nora's death. Even her parents. Vanessa had refused to bury her, hoping she would sneeze and yell “momma” Her body was still preserved, but Rhys stood on having her buried. He was meant to be at his morning meeting, but here he was, staring at Nora's door with longing in his eyes. It hurt me to see him that way, but I knew how much Nora meant to him. Even with the few moments my daughter and I spent here, I could tell he loved her as much as he loved Halo. Perhaps even more. I cleared my throat and placed my hand on his shoulder, “you should be having your meeting, Rhys.” “The pack is fine.” His hoarse voice rang out, clenching my heart. I
RHYS’ POV“This is for you.” I placed some meatball on Halo's plate, watching as her cheeks flushed red, “thanks, dad.” she smiled, slowly reaching for her fork to begin eating breakfast. Felza had volunteered to prepare breakfast for everyone today, stunning Vanessa for a few seconds. Her gaze lingered on Felza for a while, “I'm yet to have a taste, but I'm sure this would taste heavenly.” She commented, and Felza smiled brightly, “then I hope everyone enjoys it.” I picked up my fork, but I noticed the absence of my second daughter, Nora. Her space was vacant, and Vanessa seemed to be aware of it. I frowned slightly and flipped my attention to her, “where's Nora? It's unlike her to be late for breakfast.” I said, watching as Vanessa slowly placed a meatball in her mouth. She wiped her mouth and leaned backwards, “we had an episode last night. She still refused to tell me about her supposed mate.” “And?” “She's probably sulking, still upset from what happened last night.” She conti
LISA’S POVDragging witches to Sebastian's presence seemed to be my job today. Sebastian kept killing them to satisfy his bloodthirsty urge, snapping their necks just because they enraged him. I hate to admit it, but I felt some kind of pity for them. He was just about to kill another because she refused to speak to him. And when she did, Sebastian smiled brightly at the gem he'd just found. He walked around her, circling her like a desperate predator, “I've been capturing your kind for the last few years, but no one's ever given me the answer and the solution I truly desired. With you, I can tell that my victory is near.” he raised her chin to gaze into her eyes and she smirked, “Since it's nearly midnight, we should proceed now.” Her voice was soft, but the chilling glint in her eyes couldn't be compared to another. She was just like me, slightly different in her own ways. I leaned against the soft cushion and tapped my feets on the ground, watching the interaction between Sebasti
