ELISE'S POV Ferris had changed and I had no idea why. He barely spoke to me unlike before. For days now, I had tried to speak with Ferris, to see him, to understand why he had suddenly started pulling away from me. But every time I got close, he seemed to vanish, busy with meetings, patrols, or t

FERRIS' POV I had never imagined the meeting would take such a turn. Alexandra’s voice echoed through the room. Every word she spoke felt like a slow-moving poison. Luna candidates… joining the hunt. It was absurd. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. For a moment, I stared at her, unable to fu

FERRIS' POV The moon hung high in the sky and I watched as it made the camp glow a little more. No matter how much it glowed, it couldn't compare to Elise. The place was mostly silent. The only sounds can. Efrom the occasional crackle of the fire and the murmur of voices in the distance. I had

ELISE'S POV I had to start moving and fast. I tried to steady my breath as I limped forward. As I moved, I could feel pain in several parts of my body. The pain in my ankle pulsed with each step. I should’ve been more careful with the horse, but it was too late to regret falling now. The deeper I w
ELISE'S POV The wolf started moving and without even thinking, I started to follow it. Each step it took was sure, purposeful, as if it knew exactly where to go. My heart was still racing from the attack. My breaths were uneven as I stumbled over the ground. I had been so close to death—arrows wh
ELISE’S POVJoan’s words replayed in my mind. Her words felt like a thorn digging deeper into my chest. Ferris had assured me he loved me and didn’t want Joan, but her claim about being his first love pulled at me. People never forget their first love.That thought haunted me as I paced the length o
Sophie nodded “It’s terrifying to think someone so close to us could betray the Alpha like that.”“It is. I wonder what she’s up to.”“Don’t be scared. The Alpha will protect you”That, he will. I was sure of that.I nudged her playfully “Enough of all this small talk. Now, tell me about Eden. When

ELISE’S POVI sighed.Telling Ferris this wouldn’t be easy. I’ve avoided the topic for so long. I stopped having nightmares about it recently.“What about it?” Ferris asked me.“I want to tell you what I went through in the hands of my captors. I’ve never told anyone this before, not even my parents
His voice cracked slightly, and I realized how deeply this haunted him. My throat tightened, but I said nothing, letting him continue.“She cursed me,” Ferris said “She came to me in a vision. Her presence was colder than anything I’ve ever felt. She told me that for what I did, I would never know h
