Chapter 18Cora's POV.The moment my paws touched the cool damp forest floor, I felt a powerful rush of energy through me. It wasn't like anything I had ever felt before,, and for the first time in my life I felt powerful. Selene and Ronan followed after us but didn't change into the wolf form. They both were with our clothes.Kaden's big black wolf circled me slowly as if testing my reaction. He wanted a fight, fine. I wanted one too.Selene and Ronan stood a little farther away from us watching with excitement which was practically vibrating off them."This is gonna be fun to watch." Ronan giggled, watching us."Or a complete disaster." Selene huffed as she shook her head.Through the pack link, I could hear Kaden's amused voice through my mind, "Show me what you've got little omega."I growled softly, preparing myself for what was coming, and without warning, Kaden lunged himself at me.His wolf was fast, faster than any wolf that I've ever seen before, but I was also just as fast
Chapter 19 Kaden's POV After the fight, Cora and I made our way back to the cabin. A smile crept on my lips as I remembered how our wolves had fought and I loved it. I also loved the fact that she wasn't just fast or powerful, she was extraordinary.. breathtaking.. And in that moment when her wolf had pinned mine down and our eyes had locked at each other. I felt it. The pull. Her wolf had recognised mine. And mine? It had wanted the whole of her. When we finally reached the cabin, I couldn't stop my racing heart. Every part of my body screamed for me to act.. to move.. to claim her and when she walked past me , I noticed her body was trembling just like mine, as if she could feel it also. I swallowed hard. I couldn't hold it anymore. And just as she reached for the door, I grabbed her wrist. Cora spun around quickly, her eyes were filled with shock but before she could say a word, I pressed her back against the door, caging her between my arms. She gasped and her en
Chapter 20Cora’s POVA few weeks later, I stood near the entrance of the Silverfang Pack’s main hall alongside Kaden. Today was our last day in the silverfang pack before we begin our journey towards the Bloodmoon pack tomorrow, but first, we needed to inform Alpha Gregor of our decision.We needed his blessing, his encouragement before we make our journey tomorrow.I've only met Alpha Gregor once during the first month of my stay here, and he had been nothing but nice to me.He had welcomed me to the pack with open arms and had termed me as Kaden's wife the first time he saw me which had made me blush deeply.Alpha Gregor of the Silverfang pack was a nice man, who had given us nothing but shelter and love in his pack. It hurts to leave here... this beautiful pack that I've grown to love, but this was something I had to do.This was something I'd trained monthly for. My revenge.Kaden stepped forward, his back straight, adjusting his shoulders. He was ready. Ready to leave this pla
CHAPTER 21 Cora’s POVThe moment we stepped into the Bloodmoon Pack, it was as if the entire pack froze in shock all at once.But, I wasn't nervous.I kept walking forward, my head held high with confidence and my fingers curled tightly around Kaden’s warm hand,holding it tightly.A warrior in the middle of training dropped his sword to the ground in shock,completely forgetting that he was supposed to block his opponent’s attack,while his opponent stood there, also too stunned to react. A group of Omegas who had been busy carrying baskets of fruit, gasped out in shock,their hands trembling so much that their baskets slipped from their fingers making the fruits litter around. The children playing near the training grounds stopped moving, their small were faces filled with curiosity and confusion,as if even they could sense that something big had just happened.And then... just like that... the whispers started."Is that… Cora?""No. It can’t be. She disappeared!""And Kieran’s DEAD
Chapter 22Kaden’s POVThe moment I stepped into the Blood Moon Pack, I knew deep down that I was walking into a battlefield. My battlefield.Not one of blood and swords, but of power, politics, and... unfinished business.My name was filled in the mouth of the whole pack as if a ghost had returned.Kaden Blackwood. The lost heir. The forgotten twin.I had expected it, but what I hadn’t expected was him.Tobias Blackwood.My father.The Alpha of the Black Moon pack.He was moving toward me a hopeful expression in his eyes."Kaden..." Alpha Tobias breathed. He stopped just in front of me, his eyes searching my face like he was trying to convince himself that I was real. "You’re alive."I didn’t move. Didn’t speak.Not because I didn’t want to.Because I didn’t just know how.I had spent years convincing myself that I had no family. No pack. No past.And yet, here I was.Alpha Tobias pulled me into a tight hug."You’re home, son."The pack erupted into cheers.Everyone… except Kieran.
Chapter 23Kaden’s POVI was talking to Alpha Tobias when Kieran approached.Alpha Tobias smiled, a deep, satisfied smile on his face as he looked between us, his two sons standing in front of him again, and for a moment, there was nothing but joy in his eyes.I knew what Kieran wanted because he had been watching me ever since the party ended,his gaze following my every movement as if he still couldn't believe that I was alive. He wanted to talk. Perhaps to explain but I wasn’t interested in hearing it.Alpha Tobias patted my back, pulling my attention back to him. “You should get some rest, son. We have much to discuss tomorrow.”I nodded. “Of course, Alpha.”Alpha Tobias smile fell for a second,at the way I had called him Alpha instead of Father. But he didn’t correct me. Instead, he turned and walked away, leaving me with Kieran who was standing behind me.I could feel Kieran's gaze at my back , as if studying me, as if wanting to find out the main reason I was back.Then, finall
CHAPTER 24 Cora’s POV Instead of following Kaden, Selene, and Ronan to the house Alpha Tobias had gifted, I followed Kieran back to my trauma. Why? Because, like they say, to defeat your enemy, you have to be closer to them. By the time I entered the house, memories came rushing back to me. The pain. The torment. The torture. I saw the weaker version of myself standing there, tears filled her eyes. I saw Kieran’s cold eyes as he pushed me against the wall, my body falling to the ground. I saw blood staining the floor underneath me. My baby. The memory was like a dagger to my chest, but I refused to let it break me. I folded my fingers in a fists, anger enveloping my whole body. This was why I was here. For my revenge. Slowly, little by little, I would tear Kieran down until he was on his knees, begging for my mercy. And by then? There wouldn’t be any mercy left in me. Just then, I felt Kieran enter the house and I relaxed, immediately slipping on a
CHAPTER 25Cora’s POVThe next day, I met up with Kaden, Selene, and Ronan because Alpha Tobias had invited them for a special tour of the pack.It was during the early morning training. And just I walked past the trainers, I felt someone’s eyes watching me, which was almost burning into my skin.I turned my head just enough, without making it obvious to see who was glaring at me.And there she was.Lyra.She was among the trainers, her arms crossed as she gared daggers my way. Her face was full of pure hatred as she gritted her teeth, but what made me pause was her eyes. They weren’t just looking at me...they were shifting back and forth between me and... Kieran.She had noticed it too.The way Kieran still looked at me even when he didn’t want to. The way his eyes had followed me even when he wasn’t aware that he was doing it. The way his fingers trembled as if he was fighting the urge to reach out and touch me.She could see it.And I was sure she hated it but I didn't care.---Al
CHAPTER 81 KADEN’S POV The second I closed the door and locked it – I didn't wait instead I turned around and grabbed her waist. I pressed my lips to hers and kissed her ravishingly. It was filled with hunger and desperation. Like a man who had starved for years. Like a beast who had just been set free. Like I had waited for this moment my whole life. And now that it was here. Nothing and I mean nothing was going to stop me. She gasped into my mouth. But she didn't pull away. She didn't stop. Her arms wrapped around my neck. Her fingers gripped my hair. She kissed me back with the same wild fire. The same need that I had and the same heat I carried. I held her hips and walked her backward. We didn't break the kiss. Our breaths tangled. Our hearts pounded like one. Each step was charged. Her heels clicked on the floor until her legs hit the edge of the bed. And then I pushed her down gently because I valued her like egg and she was not some cheap slut to me. She was my life
CHAPTER 80KADEN’S POV“Cora! Cora!” I yelled as I searched through everywhere. My heart was pounding hard in my chest. The room was a mess. The bed was a bess. The blankets were all over the floor. A lamp had been knocked over. One of the curtains was half torn. The chair near the window was flipped. And the scent—her scent—was everywhere. But she wasn't here. Where the heck was this girl? Where had she gone to?My wolf pushed forward. I scrutinized the whole room and figured something. It was strange. From the look of things she didn't leave on her own.I rushed to the bed. I pulled back the covers fast looking for anything. A note. A clue. Something. But there was nothing.My hands curled into fists.“Where are you Cora? Where the hell are you?!”My heart was beating faster than ever as I ran out of the room and headed straight to the front desk. The woman at the counter barely looked up before I slammed my hands on the desk.“Did you see her?” I shouted. “My mate. The girl who st
CHAPTER 79 KADEN’S POVThe meeting hall was full of quiet talks and people saying goodbye as the Alpha Summit came to an end. I put my hands in my pockets and nodded at a few of the older Alphas as they came over to shake my hand. Their words were loud and clear."You stand strong Kaden Blackwood. Your father would be proud of you." One of the councilor said."The pack will be safe with you in charge" The other commented and I gave them my usual charming smirk. The moment they left I left the room because my mind was already back in the hotel room where Cora was waiting for me to continue what we started this morning.Just the thought of me thrusting into her was already getting me hard but I controlled myself. She was mine. Shs was no longer bonded to him any longer. I couldn't wait to sink my fangs into her and mark her as mine completely. I couldn't wait to take her in different positions.Fuck.I had left her tangled in the sheets. Her scent was still on my skin. Her soft moans f
CHAPTER 78 KADEN'S POVThe phone made a crackling sound near my ear. It was from the reception."Hello. Is this Kaden Blackwood? Representative for the Bloodmoon pack?""Yes.""They are waiting for you at the Alpha Summit. I was told to pass the information to you."I closed my eyes. I held back the urge to swear. The timing couldn't be worse.Cora was still pressed against the wall. Her body was still shaking from my touch. Her lips were red from my kiss. Her legs could barely hold her up. Her chest rose and fell due to the intensity of what we had just done.I looked down at my wet fingers which was wey from her arousal."I will be right there" I said and then threw the phone to the table before turning to face Cora."They are calling me to the summit" I said. I held her face and kissed her hard. I slid my hand down. I rubbed her clit gently again. Teasing her."I am not done with you" I whispered.She let out a soft sound. Her hips jerked toward my hand.I pulled my fingers away s
CHAPTER 77 CORA'S POVThe door slammed shut behind me with a loud sound and my hands were still shaking. I pressed my back to the door. My fingers were curled into tight fists by my sides. My heart wasn't just beating. It was pounding. Anger filled my entire body. How dare him!!?My wolf growled inside me. She was just as angry as I was."He is hurting us!" she yelled. "It is too much. If you do not stop this I swear to the Goddess I will!!"My vision became blurry. This wasn't because I was crying. It was because of the red hot rage burning inside me.My fangs erupted out. My claws also joined. I was breathing heavily. My wolf was aiming for control. It was wild. She took over my senses and soon I turned around and threw the door opened.I had just one mission. And that was Kieran. I heard Kaden shout my name. I heard Kieran gasp in fear.But I didn't stop. I ran straight to him I didn't care that that his lips were bloody or that he was still weak from Kaden's punch. I aimed for
CHAPTER 76 KADEN'S POVI turned the doorknob slowly. I tried not to make any noise. Cora was finally asleep. Her body had stopped shaking. Her breathing was calm now. The heat had gone down a little. But I knew it would rise again soon. I had to move fast. I had to find a way to break the bond. I needed help. And I had to keep her safe until then.But the summit was about the start. I had to go.I fixed the collar of my jacket and I looked back at her one more time. She was curled up on the bed. The bowl of ice water was half melted now. The towel on her forehead was still damp. Her lips were slightly open. Her fingers held the sheet like she was holding me even in her sleep.I swallowed hard and opened the door.Then I stopped.Kieran was standing there.His eyes were red. His fists were tight. I saw his knuckles turning white. The veins on his neck were big. His jaw was tight with anger."What the hell did you do to her!" He yelled angrily but it didn't affect me.I stepped out and
CHAPTER 75 3rd POV"You let him go!"Kieran yelled as he stormed into Alpha Tobias’s office without knocking. His eyes were wide and was filled with rage. His hands were clenched into fists and was shaking with fury.Alpha Tobias didn't even shake. He was standing behind his big wooden desk. He looked as calm as always. A half-read report lay in front of him. He looked up slowly and met his son's raging eyes with his usual cold stare."Kieran" Tobias said in a calm voice "I assume you are talking about your brother.""You sent him" Kieran growled as he stepped inside. "You gave him the council invitation. You let him represent the pack at the Annual Alpha Summit. I have been going for years. I have been training for this. I have been preparing. I have been earning my place!"Tobias said nothing."You didn’t even tell me" Kieran shouted and slammed his fist down on the desk. "You just handed everything to him like he suddenly deserves it. Is that what this is? You are just going to ma
CHAPTER 74 KADEN’S POVShe was still asleep when I walked into the hotel room.Her body was curled beneath the blanket. Her lips were slightly open. Her hair spread across the pillow like dark silk. Peaceful. Beautiful. Mine.Goddess. Mine.I had barely slept. My back was sore from the hard motel hard bed I had slept after running away from her like a coward. I needed to get away last night. I needed to breathe. But I didn't. I didn't sleep. I couldn't because she was all I thought about.I dropped my bag and walked straight to the bathroom. I ignored the sting in my eyes. I ignored the deep pain in my chest that just wouldn't go away. My mind was racing. I had a summit to attend in less than an hour. But all I could think about was her. My Cora.I turned on the water. I let it run cold for a few seconds before stepping in. I scrubbed fast. I scrubbed hard. Like the cold could wash away the heat still stuck to my skin from seeing her in that towel last night.But it didn't. It couldn
CHAPTER 73 CORA’S POVI didn't know what I expected when I stepped out of that bathroom wrapped in nothing but a towel.I knew Kaden would be affected.I knew his control was weak. That his wolf was restless. That the tension between us had been building like a house without foundation ready to fall apart. But I never expected this.He was shaking. Terribly shaking. Not just his hands or his shoulders. His whole body trembled from trying to hold himself back. His fists were clenched so tight I could see the veins pushing out under his skin. His jaw was tight. And his eyes.Goddess. His eyes. They were red. Dark red.There were burning with something wild and dangerous all at once. His fangs were outI could see them. Long and sharp. Peeking from under his lips. His wolf was close to the surface. It wasn't just watching. It was fighting to take over.And still even then I wasn't afraid of him.“Kaden” I whispered gently as I held his face to look at me. He didn't move. He didn't bre
