Cassandra MSorry for the super late update. This is just one, as it takes too much of my energy to write, and I have to rest to continue the next chapter as it's emotionally draining me. But hang in there, lovelies! We have no way but up from here. 💜 THANK YOU for a great July! This book accumulated 8,6K gems over all for that month alone. My biggest to date (monthly)! So thank you, you are all amazing! I promise you, all these heart palpitations and suffering will be worth it. 💜

ALPHA MADDOX. “I, Alpha Maddox Trevino of the Dark Forest Pack, banished you, Catherine Gertrude Galhart, from my pack. You are no longer welcome in this territory!” I cut my palm using my claws, and let the blood trickle down her face. I would have done more to mock her and make her feel worthless if the pain in my chest was not aggravating me. I had thought saying it out loud to make her feel the pain would suffice for her to take all of it. I wasn’t expecting it to hit me back. Hard. I walked over her, not giving her a second glance while she squirmed on the floor, and instead proceeded to step out of my office. I didn’t know where to turn, but I didn’t want anyone to see me while the pain of our bond disconnecting was making my whole body shake in pain. I rushed to the stairs and headed for my bedroom, slamming the door hard before I went to my bathroom and opened the cold shower. I didn’t even take my clothes off. I went ahead and stayed under the cold water, but it wasn’t

BETA XANDER. I watched as Catherine’s wolf sprinted away in the direction I instructed her to go. I doubted if she would be able to catch up with them on how her brother was driving the car. But that direction would also lead her to Lady Zoey’s pack if she kept going. I hope she will find solace there. But I had to send someone to check the path she took to make sure she got there safely. But who? I had no idea, as everyone in this pack was loyal to Maddox. Or I should say loyal to his Alpha command. I scoffed as I shook my head. I had been in this pack for over two months to replace the former Beta, and until now, I had no idea what had happened to him. I tried asking Maddox, but he ignored me, and no one else was saying anything either. Even Gamma Kenzo. It was then that all my gut feelings were confirmed. This pack was running under his Alpha command. And I knew I had just made the right decision to accept this post, even if I never wanted to be a part of the ranks. In fact

BETA ANDREW. I was at the South border when a vehicle passed by one of our cameras that monitor cars heading in our direction. This was the first time I had seen this type of car with this color within the territory. This car was expensive and meant for heavy and rough driving, which I would notice if I saw it around, but it did look familiar. I just couldn’t pinpoint where I saw it. It didn’t take long before the car stopped at the border. I prepared to meet the guest while ordering three men to go over and request the window roll down, but they didn’t have to as the driver’s seat door opened, and Alpha Jace came out. “Alpha Jace, good afternoon.” I immediately stepped forward to stand by the barricade separating us from the neutral ground. “Good afternoon, Andrew. Is Alpha Lawrence around?” He nodded as he approached. His face was grim, different from a face devoid of any emotions I would see from him. “Yes, Alpha,” I answered curtly. “I want permission to enter your territor

BETA ANDREW. “How could you let them enter here with your sister’s mate tagging along his mistress?” Luna Charina was fuming with her words. I swear there was more than one person who growled inside the room, including her own son. I held my breath as Zoey grabbed her mother’s arm and dragged her toward the door, something Zoey had never done her whole life, but she looked feral at the moment as she scowled at the Luna. And for some reason, even if this was inappropriate at the moment, I liked this side of her, as Zoey had always been prim and proper. “I’m sure you are not invited here, Mom.” She told her in a firm tone before nodding at her brother, telling him she would handle this. We knew that if Lawrence took this one in his hand, the whole packhouse would hear his loud voice again, as he would often lose his patience whenever he clashed and fought with the Luna. I waited until Zoey and Luna Charina, who kept talking and bashing Tyler, left the room before I followed th

FORMER LUNA CLAIR.‘Princess, are you awake? We just crossed the border.’ Jake’s voice rang in my head, and my body immediately jolted up before I could even open my eyes.I told myself I would just rest for a while, but I eventually fell asleep. ‘I’ll see you soon. I love you.’ I answered. I kept the message short as I got out of bed, pulled off my sleeping clothes, and put on my regular clothes.I smiled despite the heaviness in my heart. Decades had gone by, and yet Jake had always addressed me as his princess in privacy and referred to me as his queen in public. And hearing him call me princess today was the love and strength I needed to face my daughter. I’d been wanting to see Catherine, but I had no idea how I would react once I saw her. I kept telling myself I should keep my emotions in check, but how does a mother do that perfectly? How do you move forward after seeing your daughter live the nightmare you almost went through and would not wish for anyone else? When I was a

FORMER BETA GAVIN. “Purity can’t be dead, Dad.” “Will it matter to you that she’s wolfless?” “No. Not that one. I just don’t want to lose Purity.” “The Goddess listens, Tyler. Don’t lose hope…” “The Goddess never loved me, Dad.” “Don’t say that.” “I don’t even know what I did or what Catherine did wrong. I did try to love Zoey. I tried, but is it our fault if we love a different person? I never abuse Zoey, so it is so fucking unfair that Catherine had to suffer like this when she was the purest soul I have ever met.” I pulled Tyler into my arms and hugged HIM, holding the back of his head as I whispered my response. “There are things we can never answer, but that doesn’t mean it is yours or Catherine’s fault. This was all on Maddox and how he chose to be.” “I think Catherine is my second chance mate,” he said almost immediately after I finished speaking. “What do you mean?” I pulled him away from my body as my forehead creased. Second chance mates were very rare, and I was s

TYLER. I had no idea how long we were in the bathtub in total silence before I broke it between us. “What do you want to do today?” “What do you mean?” She asked. “Do you want to go downstairs and eat with the rest of our families? Or do you want us to go somewhere else with just the two of us, or just stay in bed?” I wanted to add so we could talk, but I was able to stop myself just in time. I didn’t want to pressure her until she was ready. “Can you stay, or do you have to work?” “I can call in sick. I’m sure my boss will allow it as I have been a good Beta.” “I don’t want to be left alone.” She said this, ignoring the joking remark that I made. “The last three days were already too much for me, Ty. I don’t know if I can feel safe being alone again.” I opened my mouth to say something, but I was lost for words, so instead, I pressed my lips on the top of her head as I hugged her tightly, listening as she continued to speak. “I was so brave in there. You’ll be proud of me and

BETA XANDER. Maddox had been asleep for more than 14 hours already. I had checked on him three times — last night when I came home, before I went to bed, and early this morning when he didn’t show up at his office. I knew he was alive because he was breathing. It looked like the rejection had affected him and lowered his stamina. But if anything, I was glad he was passed out, as I was able to put my plan in place in his absence, and hopefully, it would go according to what I had in mind. I was at his office with Kenzo and two of the security team, giving them instructions about the cameras they still needed to review. It was good that Maddox ordered to shut down the cameras yesterday morning at the northern border where Alpha Jace and his entourage entered and exited, the same border where Lady Catherine left. And by the time I requested to have it up, she was already long gone from the territory. Plus, he only stationed two warriors there at the border, the same ones that I comm
