Rhys POV.

The air in the council room made me feel like the whole world was pressing down on my chest, and every breath was a fight. I sat down at the long wooden table and tried to ignore the noise of stress in the room.

Stone walls from a long time ago seemed to close in, showing that hard decisions had been made in these rooms for hundreds of years. In contrast, this felt different. I didn't know how to carry this choice and load that I had made.

The werewolf council was sitting across from me at the table. Each leader looked down at me with harsh judgement in their eyes. While Elder Jaron, the leader of the group, leaned forward, his eyes got narrow. "You understand why we asked you to come here today, Rhys."

It was that kind of deep, authoritative voice that made you sit up straighter even if you didn't want to. "Your indecision is making us weaker, and the future of the pack is in your hands."

I tried to hold back my tears by swallowing hard. I could feel Felza's strengt

    Felza’s POV. The emptiness between us was louder than any disagreement. Standing by Rhys's room's window and staring out at the trees beyond helped me calm down. Instead of feeling comfort from his choice, I felt a mix of doubt, fear, and the tiniest bit of hope. How was love supposed to feel? Standing behind me, Rhys moved. Feeling his presence, he seemed hesitant, like he didn't know how to start. After going through so much and fighting together, we didn't know what to say. Oh, Felza, I picked you. Although his speech was soft, I was surprised by how raw it sounded. “You were the one who fought for the pack and for me, so I chose you.”After a slow turn, I looked him in the eyes. Something about them made them vulnerable, maybe? Or did they feel guilty? We were both hurt by what he said, but saying it didn't make it go away. Unfortunately, it didn't heal the wounds we both got in the fight. "Is that all there is!" I whispered, feeling overwhelmed with emotion. "I was picked becau

    Felza’s POV. When Jaron said those words, Rhys's whole body tensed up. It broke my heart. We were still gasping for air after the last fight, and now there's... another threat? "One we thought was long gone?" The second time, Rhys spoke in a low, scary voice. "Jason, what are you talking about?" "Who is it?" Jaron walked into the room a little further, and his face was as blank as stone. It seemed like his weight added to the stress that was already there. Before he spoke again, his lips were pressed together into a thin line. Each word was clear and strong. Named Sebastian. The name fell like a stone into a pool of cold water, making the whole room feel spooked.Rhys's face turned pale, and he clenched his hands together. I could feel the colour leaving my face too. To Sebastian. I thought we were done with him after everything we went through. "Sebastian is getting back together," Jaron said next. "And he's not the only one." He's put together a strong new group of wolves and ba

    There was pain in my body that wasn't from the cuts. No, this pain was worse. It felt like an unseen hand was squeezing my heart. The attack on the border was very bad, and now we have to clean up the mess.I saw limped wolves everywhere. Some had cuts that would take days to heal, and others were carrying the weight of their grief more than any wound. When I looked at Rhys, his jaw was so clenched that I thought it might break. He was in the middle of everything, strong and in charge, but I could tell he was tired because of the look in his eyes. The responsibility of being a leader was too much for one person to handle, even as Alpha. Let him know I was here for him and that he didn't have to do this by himself. But something stopped me. Lisa might have been it. Her presence was like a ghost that was always there but just out of reach. It made me think of the close relationship she had with Rhys. It was deep and clear that I didn't belong, and I couldn't get rid of the feeling no

    Chapter 51. Felza pov... Lisa's Comeback gave me a chill down my spine as soon as Lisa took a step forward. She didn't need to say anything. Just being around her made the air feel tense and thick. Rhys stiffened next to me and set his jaw as he turned to face her. My heart was beating fast. Even though I knew it was going to happen, I was still not ready for it. Lisa spoke first. Her voice was soft, but it weighed heavily on all of us. "Rhys," she said. "Let's talk. You can't keep putting this off." It took Rhys a while to answer. He looked at me and Lisa at the same time, and I could see the tension in his eyes. It was like he was in two different worlds. Every time Lisa's name came up or their bond was talked about in the pack, he had the same look on his face. He finally let out a sigh and looked at me. "Felza... "I—" Before he could say anything else, I shook my head and cut him off. "No, Rhys. It's all right." I hated how weak I sounded because my voice was shaking. I was

    The Bluemoon Pack was in a bad mood after the attack. I could see damage everywhere I looked: burned woods near the southern border, homes that had been there for generations, and the faces of people who had lost loved ones. I could feel the tension building in the air. There was a thick fog of fear, anger, and uncertainty over all of us. There were cracks in Rhys's efforts to keep everyone together, but I could see them. I stood on the edge of the clearing and watched as Rhys gave orders to the fighters who were still there. His voice was strong and telling, but I knew it wasn't true.I hadn't seen him come up behind me, but now he was standing next to me, and his face showed the same worry I felt inside. "Are you okay?" I tried to smile, but it didn't feel real. Hey Axel, I'm fine. As I try to make sense of everything. Axel kept looking at me, and for a split second, I saw something more in his eyes than worry. "It’s okay if you’re not fine, you know." He reached out and touched

    My chest hurt, and the chaos around me shook like a storm as I stood there. Rhys was still fighting with the older people, and his anger was rising in his voice. There was Lisa, just a few feet away, watching over everything like a ghost. Then there was Axel. I can still hear what he said. Felza, you deserve to be happy. People who aren't pulled between two people should be with you. When I looked at Axel, his eyes didn't move. It was like he was waiting for me to understand something I wasn't ready to face. Something was going through my mind like crazy as I tried to make sense of everything. But the truth was staring me down like a challenge. Rhys had picked me—he had told me so—but I still had doubts, like a bad dream I couldn't wake up from. Now, Axel's words had made a hole in my heart. "I can't leave you like that, Axel," I said in a whisper, my voice shaking. "It’s not that simple." With one step, Axel moved closer and his hand touched mine. His touch was steady and warm, th

    Even though it was the middle of summer, the forest felt cooler than normal. My heart was beating so hard in my chest that I could only take short, shaky breaths as I ran after Rhys. When he saw me with Axel, I couldn't get rid of the image of his face and the hurt and betrayal in his eyes. I had no control over how the world felt like it was closing in on me. He called Rhys! My voice was shaking when I called. He didn’t stop or even turn around to look back. Things were getting worse between us for weeks or even months, but this was different. I knew I had done something wrong, but I wasn't sure how I got here. I wasn't ready for Rhys to respond the way he did after Axel told the truth. He was still looking at me with heavy eyes that seemed to accuse me. Eventually, I caught up with him. Standing at the edge of the clearing, he had his back to me and his hands tight together. I thought about it for a second. His broad shoulders were tense and stiff, and he was breathing heavily.

    Felza pov..When the group got together in the main hall, the air was tense because the Council's entrance felt like an invisible force pressing down on everyone. Although I was trying to keep a strong face, my heart was racing as I stood next to Rhys. My hands were shaking. Since the scout told me about Sebastian, he hadn't said anything to me. It was impossible to hear him. He was on the other side of the room and kept looking back and forth between Rhys and me. The part of his statement where he said I deserved someone to choose me and be fully committed to me still haunts me. But what I felt or what Axel felt didn't matter right now. The Council's decision hung over us all like a storm about to hit, and I wasn't sure if we'd make it through. The Werewolf Council sent four officials. They were big, scary wolves who were in charge of the packs and made sure everything ran smoothly among us. In cases like this, they were the ones who had the last word. It wasn't just about the Bl

    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
