Lena’s POV“Let me go!” I screamed, kicking and thrashing as the two huge gammas dragged me from the dark carriage into the underground lair.They didn’t say a word. They just opened a large iron door and threw me into a cold, stone room with a massive bed in the center.“See you soon, Lena…” one of them said with a sneer, just before slamming the door shut and locking it with a heavy clank.I ran to the door and pounded on it with my fists until they burned. There was no answer from anyone, and it just dawned on me that no one was coming to save me.Hell no!I was alone again.Tired of banging heavily on the door, I decided to give up.I walked back to the large bed and threw myself on it, my heart shattered into pieces.That night, I couldn’t sleep. My body tossed around on the bed, but my mind was worse—it was spinning out of control.My thoughts were a chaotic mess.Why hasn’t Kyler come for me? Has he even realized I’m missing? Or did he leave me in that dungeon and move on witho
Lena’s POVI was halfway up the bars when a sharp pain shot through my back.“Ahh!” I cried out, falling hard to the ground.I twisted around fast—and there was Damian, his face twisted in pure rage.“So delusional to think you can escape?” he hissed.“Even if you run a meter, I would dive a thousand kilometers just to get you,” he mocked, grabbing my butt with his rough, long fingers.My heart skipped a beat just before he lunged at me.“No!” I screamed, trying to crawl away, but he was faster.He grabbed me by the waist and kicked me hard twice, one in the stomach, the other in my ribs. I gasped, curling up in pain.Then, like I weighed nothing, he dragged me back to the bed. I punched and clawed at him but he was stronger.“Let me go, you bastard!” I yelled, kicking him hard in the dick.He shoved me on the bed, his weight pinning me down. I kept fighting and doing anything I could do to get away but his grip on me was so tight.“You’re mine, Lena. I warned you!” He growled.I froz
Lena’s POVI was halfway through the door, my legs barely holding me up when I felt something pierce my back sharply.“Aah!” I screamed, stumbling forward. My vision blurred, and I crashed to the floor, hard.I gasped, trying to breathe, but every inhale felt like fire. My fingers touched my back, and as I withdrew it, it was soaked in blood.My blood.“If I can’t have you”, Damian’s voice rang out from behind, wild and twisted, “then no one will!”I rolled over, my body shaking. My back was burning, and a strange kind of weakness spread through me. My limbs felt heavy like they were no longer mine. I tried to move, but my legs refused.“P-poison”, I whispered to myself, panic rising in my chest. “The arrow… it’s poisoned.”Kyler turned around just in time, his face wild with rage. “LENA!”He punched Damian so hard that he flew back, hitting the wall with a loud crack. “You sick bastard!” Kyler roared.I tried to crawl forward, but my arms gave out. “I can’t… move,” I whispered as te
Kyler’s POVI wiped the sweat from my brow, the cold breeze doing nothing to alleviate the exhaustion and fear clinging to me like a second skin. It had been almost eighteen hours since Lena collapsed, and she lay there lifeless and still.She hadn’t moved yet, not a whisper or even a sound from her.Just the shallow rise and fall of her chest, as if the threads keeping her tethered to this world were thinning with every passing second.Theo was crouched beside her, his hands working furiously as he applied yet another layer of healing herbs to her bare back. The scent of crushed wolfsbane and moonroot hung thick in the room, a sickening reminder of how close she was to death.The sight of my Lena, my fated mate, lying motionless on the floor made my heart crack.I knelt beside her, brushing a stray lock of hair from her pale face. My heart clenched painfully at the sight of her closed eyes, her lashes still damp with tears she hadn’t had the strength to wipe away.“She’s still burnin
Lena's Pov I stared at the glowing white wolf, my lips trembling as I reached toward it. My hand hovered inches from its muzzle, my heart beating loud and fast like a war drum in my chest.“Who… who are you?” I whispered again, my voice dry and cracking.The wolf stepped closer, its eyes locking with mine. “Stop being pathetic,” it said, a hint of amusement in its voice. “Don’t you recognize me?”I flinched, confused. “W-What?”“I’m your wolf,” it said gently, but with firmness. “You can call me Karin.”My eyes widened, my mouth parting in shock. I took a step back. “N-no… That’s impossible. I don’t have a wolf! The Moon Goddess never gave me one—”Karin chuckled, a deep, haunting sound that still managed to soothe me. “You are doubting Thomas.”I stared at her, and my lips twitched.“This isn’t funny. If you’re my wolf, then where the hell have you been all this time? Why did you never speak to me before?”“I wanted to,” she said softly, her glowing body sitting down like a majestic
Lena's Pov “Yo, yo!“Just kidding!” Karin whispered inside of me.A wave of instant relief surged through my veins instantly.I could hear her voice now, and I could also feel her strength.Thank Goddess!My wolf wasn't a mere illusion.“Finally!” Her voice rang in my head, filled with excitement and warmth.I gasped, a wild grin breaking across my face. “She’s real,” I said aloud, staring at Theo and Jax with wide eyes. “She’s genuine. I have a wolf!”“What?” Jax blinked, clearly confused. “Wait, are you saying—?”“My wolf is no longer weak...” I said breathlessly. Theo’s facial expression was “Have you gone nuts or something...?”But I knew what I was saying; I wasn't mad yet; excitement had only gotten the better part of me.I looked down and noticed the arrow lying next to me, which was glowing faintly. Tentatively, I reached for it. The moment my fingers wrapped around the shaft, a jolt of heat surged through my veins. It wasn't painful, but it seemed like something had awaken
Lena’s POVI took another deep breath, then reached out and pushed open the heavy council chamber door.The room fell into complete silence immediately after I walked in.Every elder turned their head toward me like I was a ghost walking in.Some had their mouths wide open in shock, while a few stood halfway, their eyes wide in disbelief. The air was so thick with tension that you could easily slice it with a butter knife.As soon as Kyler sighted me, he sprang up from his seat immediately and rushed towards me, his eyes wide open in disbelief.“Lena!”“You’re awake,” he whispered into my hair. “Are you okay? Does anything hurt? I was—”Without waiting to have a direct conversation with him, I shoved his hands away immediately.His brows furrowed instantly. “Lena—?”“No.” I took a step back, squaring my shoulders. “Don’t ‘Lena’ me. What did I just hear? What in the name of the Moon Goddess is going on here?”Kyler looked stunned.And then—ugh—she opened her mouth.Alison.The she-goat
Lena’s POVTonight was supposed to be a night of triumph. A night where I stood beside my mate, the man the Moon Goddess had fated me to, as he ascended to his rightful place as Alpha. Instead, I stood at the edge of the grand ballroom, my hands clenched at my sides, my throat tight with humiliation.The hall was dazzling, chandeliers bathed the room in warm light, casting a golden glow over the guests who laughed, drank, and celebrated. It should have been a perfect night. But the moment my husband stepped onto the stage, the atmosphere stirred.Damian looked every bit the Alpha in his tailored black suit, his piercing green eyes sweeping over the crowd with authority. His presence commanded attention, his dark hair perfectly styled, his lips curled in a smirk that made the she-wolves in the room sigh in admiration. And yet, despite being his Luna, the woman who had stood by his side through blood and sacrifice, he hadn’t even looked at me.I swallowed past the lump in my throat as a

Vivian's Pov “You have been acting so distant, Damian…?”“Have I done anything wrong?” I curled up to him, pulling him towards myself.“I am fine, Vivian. ““I just need space..” he murmured inaudibly, pulling himself away from me.I scrunched my face in disappointment but then I knew the next thing I ought to do.Without thinking I cupped his face in my hands and buried his hands under my cloth, leading his fingers to my hardcore nipples.Damian groaned against my mouth, his restraint cracking as he finally grabbed me, flipping me onto the bed.I let out a soft moan, my body embracing his. His hands trail down my thighs, feeling my bare skin, his touch desperate and relentless."Vivian" he whispers against my neck, his breath hot, his lips tracing the delicate curve of my collarbone.“Don’t stop, baby, "I whispered seductively.His mouth kisses mine again, his tongue sliding against mine, slow and deep, pulling a moan from my lips.His hands move with purpose, slipping beneath my
Theo's Pov I am caught in what feels like a trance… Or could it be death?My eyes fluttered open, but the pain in my limbs and arms made it impossible for me to walk, and when I tried to sit up, a sharp stab shot through my side.“Damn it,” I groan, clenching my teeth.I reach out, dragging myself closer to the nearest log. It was damp and rough, but right now, it feels like comfort. I lean against it, breathing heavily, my chest rising and falling with effort.Where the hell am I? And that is when I glance around.The forest is thick and quiet.Tall trees loom above me, their branches locking hands to block out the sky. Only small patches of light slip through the leaves, and it feels like being trapped under a green roof, miles from anywhere.Then… it hits me.I squeezed my eyes shut as the memories of what happened to me flooded my brain.The image of Lena chained in the dungeon flashes before me, her eyes haunted and tired. I remember sneaking into the dungeon that night she was
