Cassy's POVSince the day I received that bottle from Uncle Berth, I had dropped it on the table which was positioned close to the wall. And with each morning dawning, and with each evening passing, I stared at the bottle with different thoughts of what it was.The man who had given the bottle to me had never told me what it was used for. He only urged that I used the content for just Brynlee alone.I thought of sneaking it through her drinks. But when I thought twice about it, it dawned on me that she was under intense watch, with every of her food being checked, and each of her visitors being checked as well.I had gotten a favour from her due to the forced friendship between us, and in a way I hoped never to abuse the only opportunity I had to get closer to her.But then, I had less thoughts when I realized that she had gotten so much trust inside of her for me, and it was easy to convince her that what I had in the bottle was meant for her But what words would I use to urge her t
Maverick's POVFor awhile, there hasn't been any attack upon the pack, which inwardly I was more than grateful for. And during this weeks and months of surprise attacks, we had no clue of what was the cause or what was propelling these rogue wolves to come in our direction.But there was a miracle, a clue where our minds never drifted to. The act of using dark magic to compel already mystified creatures was something way beyond our wildest imagination.It's surprising how the person captures humans just to make them go rogue. Not just ordinary rogues but infectious Lycan rogues. The thought drifted in that I might have been a victim if not for a miracle which I was yet to find out how.And we moved again, this time from finding a traitor who sent messages to the rogue wolf to finding a hidden sorcerer who was able to do this kind of act. An act forbidden yet boldly used against us.How ironic that we call ourselves the fearsome Lycan kingdom yet being controlled by mere rogues. My peo
Maverick's POVI sat down on the bare earth after the long run. Though my heartbeat had increased, and I said with heavy breathing, I couldn't help but bask in the sweetening feeling of having to show off the strength of my wolf in the dead of the night.And I think Ryker was in need of this too."What do you think the elders would do?" Ryker asked while we basked in the sunset." There would be a solution somewhere. Somehow I keep having a nagging feeling that Uncle Berth is up to no good," I replied, sighing." Do you think he is the traitor?"" Most likely, Ryker. I just want to catch him in the act. I can't just dispose him like I did ro that elder. He is royalty and a direct lineage after my father," I said, deep in thought." Do you think he is dead?" Ryker asked, making my mind wander.I knew who Ryker was referring to. My father had been missing for five years after running after some rogues. All traces of him was wiped out, not even lingering scent. Deep down, I wish he was s
Cassy's POV"Are you sure everything will work out?" My mother asked, moving closer to me with a whisper." It will work out, don't worry. I have her trust already and all that is needed is for her to take the last portion so she could leave on her own," I said, confidently.My mother was silent for a while before asking me with all seriousness." Did you say Elder Berth gave the portion to you?"" Mom, I have told you countless times already. Why would I lie to you?" I asked, getting pissed." Do you think he is trustworthy? That man wants the throne. Why do you think he would help you when it wouldn't even favor him?" She asked." Mom, why do you think he wants the throne? I think he wants power instead. I am sure he believes that if I am the Luna, I will have control over Maverick and he will have control over me. Thereby, making him powerful even more than Maverick," I argued." Are you stupid? You are not his mate, why would you have control over Maverick?" She asked me. " After
Brynlee's POVIt's been days since I started drinking the potion given to me by Cassy. It became an habit, like a drug I couldn't do without. Something inside me fight to stop it, a power greater inside forced to stop it. But then I couldn't even when I tried. It looked like a warning from an entity unknown. If I was a lycan or werewolf or any other supernatural being, I would think my inner self was on the lookout for me. It was pushing that instinct that I felt while drinking the potion. That same feeling, that which I had fought with all of my emotions since I had carried this child inside of me had returned, and this time, describing just how it was was more than impossible to attain. I wanted it all to stop as well as wanting the peace attached to it. It was as though it came to rip off my entire being, as though it was separating my innermost being from my physical body, and so it almost drove me crazy at any point it would catch up with me.This feeling at first had not reac
Brynlee's POVI would have concluded that I was still in my sleep mode when he woke me up and spoke to me. But when he had closed the door behind him, and left me all alone in the room, my eyes had opened clearly to understand he was truly here and had asked me to prepare for a surprise.A surprise with such a grim face? I honestly prayed it shouldn't be anything about a war. I wanted my child to come into a peaceful pack. Although I was eager to train, it wasn't because of a battle.At least, not anymore.I wanted to be with my child and our little family, ruling peacefully. Was that too much to ask of?I was still pondering with trembling hands and shaky lips when the door was pushed opened again. This time, it was Ellen."What's wrong? Did my brother bully you just now? Tell me and…" she said, tightening her hands into a fist." No, Ellen. It's just-its just that- tell me, Ellen, is there going to be a war?" I asked, shakily.I saw a deep frown etched on her face. Was I wrong?" Wh
Maverick's POVTwo days had passed since what I had seen had seemed more than real to me, but the things which had occurred later had shown that perhaps, my eyes had seen wrong, and my mind had played with me. All that was certain was the sight of a man who had looked just like my Uncle, Berth and the sudden disappearance of the hut was another mystery to be resolved.Just at the state of my confusion, the idea of checking up on my uncle at the exact place he stayed had barged my mind, and immediately I rushed with the highest speed possible for anyone to attain towards his place.I couldn't even have the courtesy or the patience to knock on the door first. I just twisted the knob as soon as my hands were laid on it and pushed it open, only to behold the sight of the man whom I had considered to be the man in the woods, seated calmly and reading through a newspaper."Maverick?" he called out to me as soon as he had heared the harsh way the door was open, and had seen me standing with
Third POVMaverick staggered with his bones cracking inside of him. He felt drained and weak yet he mustered courage to stand after a few steps.Loren ran toward him, his eyes filled with sympathy but he waved at him to stop. It seems his friend didn't want to be bothered. Loren stood at his command yet waited gallantly for unforseen circumstances. He wasn't sure Maverick was himself.He knew how his friend had planned the birth of the little one and how he boasted of having a mini-buttercup. The sorrow would be great even as Loren felt it too."Take it easy, Maverick…" Loren tried to talk to him. He shook his head, composing himself. At least, he still had his mate. Yes, his mate was still alive but he was afraid what she might do." Brynlee, what do I tell her?" He asked, looking dazedly at his friend.Loren was about to respond when they heard hurried footsteps behind them."She's awake, doctor," one of the nurses had walked up to the three men who still stood outside the room.
