Sage's Pov

I, Princess Sage of Moonclaw pack, sever all ties with the pack,” I declared sternly, facing all three of them. It was over. I wasn't going to take anymore of this from any of them again.

I took off my crown and tossed it at Eleanor. “You can keep it.”

Thirty minutes ago

It happened so fast. In a blink of an eye Eleanor threw herself down the staircase. What the fuck! I watched her body tumble down the stairs in a flurry of arms and legs. 

"AHHHHHHHH!" She screamed her way down, hitting the ground with a loud thud.

In seconds, Regan and Alistair barged into the living room, and their gaze widened when they saw her on the floor.

“Eleanor!” They yelled, rushing across the room hastily. “Are you okay?” Alistair helped her up while Regan fussed over her to check if she had gotten hurt anywhere.

“What happened to you?” Regan asked her and I turned to leave. I barely took two steps when her next three words made me halt in my tracks.

“She pushed me,” she replied.

Wait, what?

I swirled my head in their direction so fast I almost fell. They were looking up at me, and Eleanor was pointing her finger to me, “Sage pushed me.”

There was a fiery glint in her eyes as my gaze met hers, “She hates me," she sobbed, her voice trembling with each word, “She thinks I'm trying to usurp her place as the princess, and now she's trying to kill me.”

“What?” Regan's eyes flashed red with anger, and Alistair's face darkened in sync. Without another word, the two of them stormed upstairs.

I wasn't shocked or even slightly fazed by this. I was used to this—my beta brothers sticking up for their foster sister and not me, but that didn't mean it still didn't annoy me, especially since they were treating me like an intruder.

“Sage! How dare you harm my sister?” Regan barked and Alistair stood behind him glaring at me.

His sister? I frowned. If she was their sister what exactly did that make me? When will they ever acknowledge me or stand up for me? I'm not some stranger here! I wanted to shout.

“Your sister?” I echoed with a frown. “I'm your biological sister, Regan! And no, I didn't touch her. She's lying!”

“Don't you dare lie to us!” Alistair yelled, stepping forward, and I instinctively stepped back, “And don't you ever refer to yourself as our sister again. I do not regard you as that,” he spat bitterly.

I swallowed hard, feeling a slight tremble in my hand as I clenched it to a fist. “I'm not lying, Alistair. I didn't touch her—”

“SHUT UP! You liar!” He cut me off, “If you didn't touch her. How do you explain her falling down the stairs?”

“Why don't you ask her? I didn't touch her! I swear on the moon goddess!”

“Your swearing doesn't count, you are an abomination. The moon goddess?” He scoffed, lowering his gaze to the collar around my neck. He eyed me with disdain, “Don't make me laugh.”

The stairs creaked as Eleanor climbed up, walking towards us with tears streaming down her face. It was all an act. I knew it and I just wished they could see it too.

“For what you did, Sage. You're going to kneel and apologize to Eleanor,” Alastair said as Eleanor joined us upstairs.

“What??” I blurted, “I told you I didn't touch her.”

“And I told you to stop lying,” Alistair spoke again.

“I can prove it. I can prove that I didn't touch her at all,” I said, and I could have sworn I saw a hint of shock flash on Eleanor’s face but she swallowed it down. “Really? And how do you intend to do that?”

“The cameras,” I replied, pointing to the CCTV cameras at the corner of the room, “Why don't we check it, and see what really happened?”

I led the way to the security room, and they followed me.  “Can you please show my brothers the footage from the staircase?" I asked the security man when I walked in, and he nodded.

He rewinded the footage, and played it, “Zoom in,” I grinned and the man did, showing a clear image of Eleanor as she threw herself down the staircase.

I spun around, facing my brothers with a confident smile,  “I told you—”

Eleanor bursted into tears instantly, “I’m sorry,” she trembled as tears rolled down her cheeks, “She said I wasn't the real one, and it hurt because she's right. She's the long lost princess and I'm just the foster daughter, the Queen took in when she lost Sage…”

“Hey, hey, hey,” Alastair hushed, pulling her into his arms, “It's okay. I understand,” he embraced her warmly, and my jaw dropped. He didn't just believe her crocodile tears, did he?

This wasn't how it was meant to go. I stepped forward, “Alistair—”

He shot me a look, “What?”

“She was lying. I just proved that—”

“So??” Regan interrupted, “You want a fucking accolades for that? You're the reason she almost killed herself, Sage. You should be apologizing for that.”

“What?” I blurted, shocked by his words. That was absurd. 

“You heard me,” he said, “This is all because of you.”

I clenched my fist tightly. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. “She threw herself downstairs, Regan. She's nuts! How can you blame me for that—?”

“How can he not?” Alistair interrupted, “And don't you ever call her nuts. You're nuts!”

I recoiled, rage boiling inside of me. I felt so helpless and it was sickening. How could this happen? I showed them proof so how could they turn a blind eye to it? My visions began to blur as tears welled in my eyes. I blinked them away, refusing to waste my tears on any of them.

It wasn't worth it. They weren't worth it but shit! It hurts like hell. My eyes burned as tears threatened to fall.

Alistair continued,  “Eleanor would have never felt the need to throw herself down the stairs if you hadn't made her feel so out of place here.”

I stared at him in disbelief. “I made her feel out of place?” I echoed, cocking my brows. Was he kidding? I was the one out of place here. Me!

Eleanor had always had a place here since she was a kid. She had owned everything that was mine in my absence for sixteen years.

While I had spent those years scavenging for food in the wild, hiding, and now even though I was right here. She was still living my life, she was still Princess Eleanor of Moonclaw pack while I was the outsider wearing the crown.

I choked back the tears, “Can you hear yourself right now? I'm the one out of place in my own home! This is my home!” I yelled and Regan grabbed me pushing me against the wall.

“Watch your tongue, Sage! We don't want you here. We never have, and we never will,” Regan released me, and they all shuffled out of the room.

Eleanor looked back at me as they headed out with a victorious smile on her face that burned through me. I had lost again, and this time it stung more than ever. I always thought Alistair and Regan would one day come to accept me.

They were my brothers, their affection was something I didn't think I'd have to work so hard for. This was too hard. I slid my back down the wall until I was seated on the ground.

I brought a hand to the collar around my neck. I clutch it tightly, shutting my eyes as tears rolled down my cheeks.

Eight years. I had done everything I could just to be accepted, and loved by them, including wearing this darn collar that suppressed my wolf, Silver.

Silver wolves were one of the rarest forms for a werewolf in our clan. There hadn't been one for over a century since the last one which nearly destroyed the entire clan. Since then, having a silver wolf was seen as a curse, and a harbinger of evil which is why I was nothing more than an abomination to my clan.

Growing up in the wild, and discovering my wolf I had quickly picked up that I had to hide my true identity, pretending to be wolf less instead because If I was ever discovered. I would be killed like all the previous ones. It was the law.

When my family finally found me, they didn't know the kind of wolf I had unlocked, but once they did they put a collar on me to keep my form a secret from everyone else, not for my benefit but for theirs.

When a silver wolf is found in the pack, the family  is usually banished for producing the abomination, and my parents couldn't afford that fate.

Imagine what would happen to my father, the Alpha King and the Luna if everyone found out the princess was a silver wolf. It would be the most dreadful thing, and my father would surely lose his position as the Alpha in the pack which meant everything to him.

They couldn't afford that. My appearance suddenly became a threat to everything they had built and they all hated me for it. It broke my heart, all I wanted in the world was their love and acceptance but I could never get it.

I tightened my fist. Enough was enough. I give up. I could no longer try. I wasn't going to live like this anymore.

I wiped my tears, and rose to my feet, heading out of the room with determination. I wasn't going to settle anymore. The rage simmered inside of me as I stormed downstairs.

“What do you want now?” Regan asked as I came before them.

Without a word I gripped the collar around my neck and ripped it from my neck, tossing it to the ground.

“What do you think you're doing?” Regan questioned, jumping to his feet. “You're not allowed to take that off.”

I ignored him, fixing my gaze on Alistair, “I, Princess Sage of Moonclaw pack, sever all ties with the pack from today.”

I took off my crown and tossed it at Eleanor. “You can keep it—Princess,” I said, mockingly.

    Sage's PovAlastair bursted into laughter. “You sever all ties with us?” He echoed with enough mockery in his voice to fill the room, “Is this some kind of joke, Sage?”“It's not!” I retorted, “I'd rather return to being a rogue than continue to live another day here being treated like an outsider or even worse an idiot!” Regan chuckled loudly, and I shot him a stern look, clenching my fist, “You'd rather return to being a rogue? You didn't just say that, did you?” He reiterated mockingly, “Your weak wolf wouldn't survive a day out there if you leave.”I smirked, “Is that what you think? You forget, brother. I survived years of being a rogue on my own before I was found and brought back to this family. If I could survive it then, I sure as hell know that I can do it again,” I enunciated and turned, walking away.“They will kill you once they discover Silver,” Alastair said, bringing me to a full halt, and I turned to him. He was right. They would, but still, I prefer to take that cha

    Sage's povMy heart literally dropped to the ground as my name echoed through the air. What?? Did I hear her wrong? Everyone's eyes steered in my direction, and from the look on their faces.I didn't hear her wrong.It felt like I'd been punched in the gut, my breath knocked out of me.My eyes locked onto Eleanor's smug face,“What if she takes my place or should I say her rightful place?” she glanced at me, and my stomach curled as the fear crept up my spine like a chill, making my skin crawl.This couldn't be happening. No. It shouldn't be happening. This was her fate not mine. I felt sick to my stomach but even more helpless.“Think about it, it would be the most sensible thing to do, seeing as she's your true daughter. That way we can still avoid the war, and I'm sure Princess Sage wouldn't mind sacrificing herself for her lovely family, after all, it's her role as Princess.”Bitch! She's turning my words against me.I couldn't summon words. I just stared blankly at her, feeling th

    Knox's PovA knock echoed through the study, and I shot my gaze to the door. “Come in.”The door creaked open and the clan's physician, Galen walked into the room. He bowed his head the second the door closed behind him, “Alpha Knox.”“Come. Take a seat,” I ushered, getting to my feet to pour us some wine. I handed him a glass, and took my seat across from him, helping myself to some wine.“So? How is my nephew?” I asked, dropping the glass on the table.“Well,” Galen dropped his glass on the table as well, “Prince Aegon's symptoms are becoming more and more severe. I've given him some herbs to control the symptoms, and make the pain subside but…” he trailed off, “There's only so much pain it can ease. You know that well.”I nodded, “I know, and that's precisely why he needs this marriage alliance.”“So it's true. You plan to have him wed to the princess of Moonclaw pack.”“Indeed, I do,” I got to my feet, and walked to the window, looking out, “It is the only solution. It will give h

    KNOX My heart stopped as my gaze fell on her, descending the stairs and everything around me seemed to disappear until all I could see was her—all I could breathe. She didn't even look at me. I didn't think she wanted to. If anything I thought she looked bitter. Bitter and yet beautiful. The way my Wolf reacted to the presence of an ordinary, small woman, was uncalled for. I could hardly compose myself as I stood there, staring at her. I shut and opened my eyes. What was happening? “Mate—” from the inner part of me, the manly voice of my wolf muttered. I had never heard it sound this way. It was supposed to be a stubborn creature, domineering the other wolves whenever there was combat. Not this way. It sounded weak—like it had been conquered by something. Someone. Someone in the room. Someone who just walked into the room. Mate? Mate?! Did I hear mate? How was this even possible? Looking away, I looked around the room. The Alpha, his wife

    SAGEHow could they do a thing like that to me?!Who on the face of the earth—will consciously reject their child like they all of a sudden no longer matter?As I paced the room I was brought into the moment we reached the pack, these and many more thoughts were running around in my head. Wrapping my hand around an answer was also an impossible thing to do, and for once, it dawned on me that the people I called ‘family’ hated me so much. How dare they?!Rage was an understatement of how I felt at this very moment. And for all that I knew, there was only one thing stopping me from running away from this pack and heading back to the Moonclaw Pack to carry out a well-deserved revenge on them. Especially Eleanor. That bitch. I would rip her heart out of her chest if I could. Why wouldn't I? She had finally become a thorn in my flesh and only one thing stopped me from dealing with her. It was the unavailability of my wolf. Something had happened to Silver. Something I had yet to dec

    SAGEWhy did I wake? The knock on the door made me flinch.“No—” mouthing, I realized it was time to meet the ugly Lycan Prince, my husband to be. “No—” Once more, the word ran out of my mouth and I jumped to my feet. “Are you in there, my lady?” Unlocking the door, I walked back to the bed and took my seat. “You're disturbing my sleep.” “The door to your room shouldn't be locked, Lady Sage. We have to get you ready to meet the prince,” One of them said with a bow. The ugly prince, I thought dreadfully.“Good morning, Lady Sage. I'll be the one to bathe you this morning," the other maid said, stepping forward. “What? I can bathe myself the last time I checked.” “The Alpha has given his order,” she explained, shutting the door behind her while both of them walked closer. “Let's get to it already, Lady Sage.” Before the end of the next hour, I was seated on the dressing chair with a towel wrapped around my body. I didn't want to do this. I wasn't ready to. Not to an ugly man.

    SAGEI gazed at Eleanor, perplexed, as I rose from my seat and met her gaze. She had a smile on her face which was totally odd considering the hostility she had always directed towards me. Seeing her smile at me now left me feeling even more baffled. What did she want now?“How can I help you, Eleanor? What do you want?” I raised a question, moping at the rest of my family members who were seated at the table. “We can’t talk about it here,” she said.“What's wrong with here?” I arched a brow, looking around me.“Come on, Sage,” Alistair muttered, looking in my direction. “Give our sister a few minutes of your time before the exchange of vows, at least. Who knows? She might have a wedding present to give you before the exchange of vows. You'll never know until you know.” That bastard. Our sister? Since when?At this point, I was starting to believe that he wasn't even really my brother. Neither were they family. Family didn't treat people like this. I was better off with strangers t

    ELEANOR The next morning, I walked out of my chamber with a sober look on my countenance.I didn't want to assume things. Not until I heard from the doctor - the more reason I was leading my way to the hospital at this time of the day. “Good morning, lady Eleanor—” someone greeted, causing me to stop in my tracks automatically. “Good morning to you, too—” I mouthed. I had a question to ask, but on second thought, I changed my mind about it and resumed my movement. “You should have a good day at the end of today.” In no time, I caught up with the gate of the pack. Looking around, I caught sight of the Alpha and Aegon who moped at me with suspicious looks on their faces. Maybe - just maybe they thought I was about to leave for a moment of my own just as I termed it the other day. I didn't have to explain to them but I walked in their direction. “Good morning, Alpha Knox.” I greeted the older man with a bow and faced Aegon who faked a smile. Maybe it wasn't fake either. “Good morn

    ELEANOR The next morning, I paced the space of my chamber with a confused look on my countenance - many thoughts running around in my head but one more than the other. How the hell didn't I realize this was a hard task? Maybe. Just maybe that was why Aella could not do a good job in the first instance. Who knew? A sigh ran out of my mouth and I stopped pacing. What do I do? It was very early in the morning. Not many wolves had woken up but there was me who did - especially because I needed to think about how to add this potion to the meal of my sister who sure was asleep. “Oh, no—” a loud cry ran out of my mouth again. What do I do?There was nothing I knew I could do except put in the potion just as the old Witch instructed. And I was going to do that even though I wasn't sure whether this operation would be a successful one or not. Walking back to the bed, I took a seat on it and then lay on my back before drifting to sleep. As soon as the main morning arrived, I was lead

    ELEANOR It was four days after the meeting with the Witch. As expected and after a long wait, the maid assigned to me came over to announce how ready the old man was. “He's asked for you to be in his chamber.” I was ready - more than ready so there was no need to take a bath since I had taken one about an hour ago. “I'm ready to meet with him. Shall we leave?” Not saying a word, the young woman walked before me while I took my place behind her. Together, we walked and as expected, she stopped at the door of the chamber. “You can go in.” She announced before walking away. Not knocking, I pushed the door open and walked into the chamber - catching sight of the old man. “Good day, old man—” I caught up with the center of the room. “I have come just as you have asked. Shall I take a seat?” He nodded, pointing at the couch I was seated on the other day. “Thank you for coming—” he announced, sitting up on the couch. “The potion we talked about is very much ready. Are you ready to do

    ELEANOR A day after I arrived at the Witch's mansion, the maid assigned to me came over to my chamber to let me know that the old Witch had become more than ready to see me. It was good news - more than good news because the last time I was here, it took me more than a day to see the man. “You must be ready in the next hour.” The maid who came to make the announcement sounded. “I shall return so that you can be taken to the chamber of my master.” Nodding, I got out of bed and reached the bathroom where I washed up, getting more than ready the next time I showed up in the chamber. Where was this maid? Didn't she say she would be here in the next hour? Or was it not an hour yet? Left with no choice, I relaxed on the bed while waiting for the maid to once again show up. A hand knocked on the door, announcing the presence of the maid who had come to take me with her. I let her in with a snap of my fingers. “I'm ready. When shall we leave?” I now sat up on the bed and watched the w

    ELEANOR Why the hell was she alive and not yet dead?! Another two months had passed and there was no way she was dead. At least, not yet. What was she doing alive? This morning, I woke up with a worried look on my countenance. There was a lot went through my mind as I tried to balance this - especially why my sister—step-sister did not die and was very much still alive. There was no way I could make it make sense because it didn't make any sense to me also. Sage should be dead at this point but she wasn't—at least, not yet. Not yet? If she hadn't died for over two months, when would she finally be dead? I jumped off the bed and looked to my left to meet Aegon who was very much awake - a smile on his countenance. He wasn't smiling at me. He fixed his gaze on the ceiling and looked at me when he felt my gaze on his face. “Good morning—” the smile disappeared from his face and he jumped on his feet. “I should go hunting with the other men.” In a short while, the door opened and

    KNOXThere was no way I would not miss her. All the time, whenever I set eyes on the bed where I lay all night, all I could think about was Sage and the sweet moment we shared on this same bed. What more could I ask for? A knowing smile came on my countenance this evening while I stared at the bed again, as usual. It had somehow become a daily sacrifice for me - the kind of sacrifice I could never overlook and over again, I looked forward to carrying out this sacrifice another time. A hand on the door cut short my thoughts. I let my gaze disappear from the bed, catching up with the door and pulling it so that it could be open. “Yes, Brian. What do you want from me this time around?” Opening the door wider, I watched him walk into the chamber. Without wasting time, I caught up with the bed but did not allow my thoughts to move in that direction. There was something to attend to, obviously, and that was something I was about to do. “Tell me. What is it?” Again, Brian bowed. “My

    SAGEEver since the other night—with Alpha Knox, we didn't set eyes on each other again. An act from my end. What were we seeing each other for? What would I say to him? Waking up this morning, I felt very much better than a few days ago when a fever started. What did I do to deserve that? I sat up, relieved from not throwing up like the other nights—and then led my way to the mirror in a corner of the chamber so that I could check myself out. Oh, yes. As usual, I looked good. Once. Twice. Thrice, I shook my head to see if it still hurt. But then, I walked back to the bed to take a seat when I realized how better I had become. All the thanks to Aella. Where was she? The woman needed as much rest as she could get, the last time I checked. She had done more than a lot in these past few days and my wish was to let her be by herself, resting, throughout today. But who was it that knocked at the door? “Lady Sage?” I should have known. Aella would not take the rest I knew sh

    ELEANOR The morning came and I was unsettled. There were so many thoughts running around in my head as soon as I opened my eyes on the large bed this morning. What did she go to do? Sage. What did Sage go to do in that area at that time of the morning? I sat up on the bed and looked around for Aegon, not also surprised that he was not somewhere on the bed or even the room, especially when this was something he always did. Aegon should be the least of my concerns. There was something I needed to do than think about why Aegon was not in the chamber with me or on the bed. I got up on my feet and walked to the window so that I could take a look, after which I let go before returning to the bed. Returning to my thoughts. I had seen Sage pass through the hallway in the early hours of the morning when I took a stroll. Sleeping was quite hard for me and in order to not feel worse than I feel, I made up my mind to take a stroll and think of possible ways to feel better. There were

    SAGEIt was me who was first to open my eyes the next morning. Looking to my right, Knox was there. Right there, snoring quietly as he wrapped his arm around my neck. The handsome man. He should not see me here when he woke up. The more reason I was the first to come awake before him—maybe almost all in this royal chamber. I wanted more sleep, but not here. With this, I carefully took the Alpha's hand off my neck and dropped it on the bare bed, sitting up, then standing up. A smile came alive on my countenance. I wanted to think about the former night but I couldn't when I wasn't safe in the chamber I should be in. Staring at my naked self in the mirror, I spent the next moment fighting for my outfit on the floor. When did I even take them off? Was this how sweet sex could be when it was with the person you admire the most? Snapping out of my thoughts, I got dressed quickly. I looked out the window and no one paced the compound. How could they? The morning had yet to come
