JACKSON'S POV I took Gina straight to the palace doctor with the help of the guards. Gina’s fingers clutched mine tightly but I didn’t mind. The doctor had just confirmed what we had been hoping for—Gina was pregnant. I could hardly believe it. It was the best news of my life. Finally, I was going
ELISE'S POV The long drive to Ferris’s pack felt like a dream. I couldn't believe I actually left my pack. I was free. I never thought I'd ever leave. It had been my home. I leaned back in the seat, gazing out the window as the scenery gradually changed. The world outside grew greener and even
As soon as I got into my chambers, there was a knock on my door. I tilted my head to the side, groaning. I couldn't even catch a break, could I? "Come in" I said. The door opened, revealing Alexandra. "Alex" I said, taking off my jacket "What is it?" "The council is already in session. They'
FERRIS' POV As soon as I shut the door behind me, the concerns of the council came back to haunt me. I expected this—of course, I did. I knew they wouldn't accept Elise, not as she is now. Not a stranger to them, not a divorced Luna from another pack. I exhaled slowly, trying to calm the emotions
ELISE'S POV I sat on the edge of the bed, brushing through my hair absentmindedly as I stared at the walls of my new room. It was still hard to believe that this was where I’d be staying for a while. It was so different from my old life. The people here seemed friendly but I had a feeling that a lo
FERRIS' POV I hadn’t expected to see her, not tonight. My chest still heaved from what I’d done moments before. I remembered how I touched myself from imagining her—the way she moved, the way she might sound under my touch, how beautiful she was. And yet here she was, standing in my doorway like
Her words cut deeper than I thought they would. She didn’t want to be a Luna anymore. She didn’t want me. And for reasons I couldn’t explain, that hurt like hell. I should have let it go. I should’ve respected her decision and left it at that. But I couldn’t. The need to tease her, to push her jus
ELISE'S POV I laid in bed, staring at the ceiling. My heart was still racing from the night’s events. Sleep was impossible. How could I possibly sleep after what happened with Ferris? His scent still lingered in my mind, fresh and intoxicating. The way his hands had gripped me so tightly, yet s
JOAN’S POVThe stench of iron burned the inside of my nostrils.My wrists throbbed from the tightness of the enchanted shackles, and the cold stone beneath me did nothing to soothe the ache in my bones. Rats squealed somewhere nearby, likely celebrating the scent of blood left from the last mad soul
FERRIS’ POVElise was at my side, holding me and kissing my cheek. I couldn’t help but laugh. I was so happy to be in her arms again.I touched her stomach “How’s our future king doing?’Elise pouted “It’s a girl”“Please, don’t start” Eden said with a sigh “You’re gonna make me miss Sophia”We laug
FERRIS' POV Everything changed as soon as Farrell walked in. Damn him, he always knew how to make an entrance. He held a drive in his gloved hand—small, silver,. But the weight of it? I could already tell it was heavy enough to shake kingdoms. “Farrell,” I called “What’s this?” He looked up at
FERRIS' POV. “Alpha,” Eden’s voice was barely a whisper as he stood behind me. I didn't even remember that he was present. That's how occupied I've been “Tell me you have a plan. Please.” I turned to him. The exhaustion in my bones was so heavy I could barely shake my head. “I have nothing,” I wh
FERRIS’ POVThe chamber was colder than I remembered. Not just in temperature—but in energy.The council members murmured in their seats. The place was filled with gathered council members, warriors, nobles, and guards. Everyone important in the pack was present. Everyone’s eyes were on me.I sat at
FERRIS’ POV The third day was almost there. My hands were stained with papers. My mind was fogged with dead ends. The desk in front of me was cluttered—maps, lists of names, flight records, surveillance screenshots, scribbled notes that barely made sense anymore. I raked my fingers through my hair
ELISE’S POVThe forest swallowed us whole as Farrell hauled the assassin forward. The bastard wouldn't stop squirming. "You think dragging me through the woods like some animal will make me talk?" Spit flew from his mouth. "You're wasting your time!"I rolled my shoulders. "Shut up."He laughed—right until Farrell's fist cracked across his jaw. The snap of bone echoed between the trees. The assassin choked, blood dripping from his split lip. Before he could scream, Farrell stuffed a rag in his mouth."Quiet," Farrell growled.The man's glare could've melted steel, but at least he shut up. I caught up to Farrell, my boots sinking into damp earth. "Where are we—""You'll see." He didn't look back.The trees grew thicker, branches clawing at my arms. My pulse hammered in my throat. Then I saw it—a jagged mouth of rock yawning open in the hillside. The cave exhaled a breath of something rotten.I pressed a hand to my stomach. Bad energy coiled around this place like a snake.Farrell plung
FERRIS’ POVJoan entered the roomShe bowed her head at me. “You summoned me, Alpha?”Before I could respond, an elder spoke up “You were seen with Elder Marcus late at night. In your room. Alpha Ferris himself bore witness to this.”The other council members murmured among themselves. Joan’s eyes w
ELISE’S POVI stared at the man before us. His body was restrained. His face was bruised and swollen due to the beating Farrell and Henry had given him, yet I could see a hint of arrogance in his eyes. He looked at us like he had already won. He sat in the chair, bound with thick chains. His pants
