John's POVI stalk back through the forest. I am furious. I cannot believe my Alpha chose a peasant girl over me. A murderer.I am too ashamed to return to my pack.I told them I would kill the girl and bring him back. But I did not. I could not. When I saw my Alpha and saw the love he had for her, I could not kill her.But now what?I will have to return to the den eventually.I have an idea.I know of a sorceress who lives in these forests. If I can find her cabin, I can get her to put a spell on the girl.My Alpha will be heartbroken. But at least he will be alive and back with the pack where he belongs.I am his Beta. I will do what I must to get back my Alpha.I break through the trees and behold the cabin. A small cabin. It is old and small.I knock on the door.It is opened by a wizened old woman. The sorceress.She is hunched over. Barely standing. She has a dog, a small dog that is her familiar.They both look up when they see me."It's a wolf," the dog growls.

P’s POV.I wake in the cave beside my Alpha.After my nightmare, I slept soundly.I remember our plan today, to go to the village and get married.I sit up. My Alpha is already awake."Shall we hunt?" he asks me."Yes," I say.I forget about my dream and the bad omen. I am elated now.We are going to get married!I leap up, ready to go. Ready to leave.We leave our cave side by side.I sniff the air. Listen.I sense something. Something wrong. "Do you smell that?" I ask my Alpha."Yes," he says. He looks troubled. "It is the smell of human.""And dog," I add."You're right.""Someone approaches," I say.He nods.Coming up the hillside is an old, hunched woman."What is she doing here?" I ask my Alpha."Let's ask her and find out."We walk to the old woman."Who are you?" I ask."A fortune teller," she says.My Alpha chuckles. He seems to find this very funny. I'm not so jovial myself."I do not need my fortune read," I tell her."But you're going to be a bri

We reach the village.I should be happy. I am about to marry my Alpha.But instead, I feel terrible about the curse."What's wrong?" he asks me."I have a bad feeling.""You're not still worry about the witch and her spell, are you?""Yes.""Don't." He smiles at me. "I told you I don't believe the witch. You should be happy. We are getting married."I fall silent. I feel torn. I don't know how to tell my Alpha what is really going on in my mind.I don't think I can marry him.He leads me to the village center. A woman stands outside a cottage. She has been waiting for us.The woman smiles at my Alpha. "It is good to see you again.""And you."They embrace. I feel a pang of jealousy. Who is this woman? Why are they meeting again?"I heard you had found a mate," she continues. "You have brought her with you, I see."She looks over at me. I think I see judgement in her eyes.My alpha smiles. "I did." He looks at me with pride. "This is her.""Are you ready to marry?" the

I stumble along the path. I feel like I'm in a dream. A nightmare.I remember the nightmare I have in the cave. The omen was right. I should have known.Suddenly, I hear a noise. A twig snapping.I'm being followed.I stop. Look around. On edge."Who's there?" I call.My heart is in my throat. I wish I had my alpha's protection. But I am all alone in the world now.I see a flash of white.My heart soars.It is him! My alpha followed me.But my heart drops again as I realize he cannot be mine. I cannot have him.He strides out of the thicket."Stop!" he shouts. "Please. We must talk.""What is there left to say?" I say."You are giving up too soon," he tells me. "The spell can be broken.""How?""We will find a witch."I shake my head, cutting him off. "What witch? Where? Who? The one who worked for John? She won't help us!""There will be more," he says. "We will travel the world until we find one.""Even if we did find a witch, how can you be so sure she would be ab

Alpha's POVI am so confused.I don't understand.She leaves me and she says it is because she needs to let me go so I can find a mate who can give me cubs?I am stunned. Speechless.She would chosoe the wretched life of an omega? A lone wolf? Rather than take the risk of never finding a witch who can help us?I am heart broken. Desolate. I don't understand why she is giving up.I am an alpha, but I feel like an omega. A lone wolf. I have lost my mate, the love of my life.And for what? Because she cannot give me cubs?I trudge back to the village. My heart is heavy as I walk through the entrance.I am still in a state of shock. I guess I never really believed it could happen to me. That I would ever lose my mate. That I would ever have to endure this kind of pain.I have not been this heartbroken since my mother died. It was a long time ago, but I can still remember the feeling.The village is still festive from the wedding. Full of life. I see the children. Playing. Lau

I stand there and watch in horror as Romulus, the cruel Alpha of the nearby pack, kills my friends. He leads his packmates against ours, and the battle is not going well.He holds a sword to my alpha's throat, and I realize that I am going to lose everyone I care about.Romulus stops and looks us all over, while my alpha is in danger of losing his life."I will only spare your pack," Romulus says, "if one of your females will volunteer to be my mate."I look around and see all of the other girls are horrified. Of course, no one would want to be with Romulus.Neither would I.The thought of it makes me shudder.But then again, I can't let my people die.I don't know what to do."Wait!" I call out. "Don't do this. Don't kill my people."Romulus turns and looks at me.He smiles and I see that his teeth are sharp and yellow. He looks like a wolf."Well, well," he says, smiling at me, "looks like we have a little hero."My stomach drops. Now his eyes are on me."And what are y

My heart is breaking as I sit on the back of Romulus' horse and we ride through the forest. I miss my pack already, so much.I hold onto him and hate every moment of it."You will learn to love me," he says. "And if you don't, I don't care.""I will never love you," I reply."You will learn," he says.I will never love him, but I will learn to do what he says.I will learn to be who he wants me to be.I will learn to be like him.For now.Until I can figure out how to survive.But deep down, I know I can’t.I'll never learn."I won’t let you do anything bad to me."He grins."Try anything and I’ll kill you and then I'll take another one of your pack mates."The thought horrifies me."I volunteered to come with you, and you promised to keep my pack safe."He laughs.He suddenly changes.He suddenly looks like the devil himself.That's when I knew: I wasn’t going to come back alive."Maybe I will and maybe I won’t," Romulus says to me, "If I choose, your pack will be

We arrive at his lair. I am tired, exhausted from the long journey through the forest.His pack watch as Romulus gets down from his horse. He holds a hand out to me."Come on," he says. "You're home now."I gulp. I already hate it here. But I have no choice but to take his hand.I hop down to the ground and look around.His pack glare at me. Snarl. Sneer. I can tell they do not like me.His pack: big and hairy and scary and brutal and strong and fast and ready to tear me apart if I try to run.I am terrified.I force myself not to show it."May I introduce my bride-to-be," Romulus tells them.He smiles and I cringe.I don't want to marry him.But I can't do anything about it.I am in the middle of his pack. Surrounded. Their eyes bore right into me.I wish I could leave. I wish I could be with someone else. I wish things were different."We will be the perfect couple," he says to me. And then he kisses me on the cheek.But I do not smile."Aren't you going to address y

The woods are dark. Branches snag at us as we run.We run together, nimble and fleet-footed.We have no supplies. We have no map.I am scared. But I am happy. I am with my mate. We are running away together.I am tired, but I do not slow down.We run all day.But I do not care. I am with my Alpha. I feel safe, warm, loved.A wolf howls behind us. He sounds close."Are they following?" I ask as I run."They have already scented us," my Alpha says."Then we must hide," I say."We will hide in the mountain," he says. "I know a cave where they can't scent us. We will be safe there until daybreak."He leads me through the woods. I trust his guidance. I know he will keep me safe."I love being with you," I tell him.He smiles. "I love being with you, too."Suddenly, a noise comes from the undergrowth.We both freeze.A wolf leaps at us. Teeth bared. He attacks my mate.He goes for the neck.My Alpha jumps.The attacker's teeth sink into his shoulder.Red blood stains his

HER POVI wake in my cell.I can't believe what happened yesterday.The Alpha claimed me. Then rejected me. Because I killed Romulus.If he understood why I did it, would it change anything?I had to kill him before he mated with me against my will.It was self defense.I know in my heart the white Alpha is my mate. He knows it too, or he would not have claimed me.Something is wrong.Something is holding him back.The door opens. It's the guard. They've come to take me to my death. To my execution.I can’t believe it. My mate is going to kill me. I wish I could explain to him that I killed another Alpha, a man who claimed me against my will.I feel bitter. I found my true mate. Now he is sentencing me to death.I walk through the hall with the guard.We reach the center gallows.The pack is small, but they watch me eagerly.I think of my friend who they killed. I should hate my Alpha, but I cannot. I know he is good. I know something is holding him back from loving me

I knew it from the first moment I laid eyes on her.But I was too hasty to bite her. I did not think it through.I was overwhelmed with my desire. I bit her before I knew her.The smell of death on her lingers in my nose.She is a killer.I cannot be with a killer.I have made mistakes before. The pack gave me another chance. If I get it wrong again, they will turn me out.I cannot take the risk on her.She is a killer.If I can smell death on her, the others will too.I pace around my den.I am angry and sad and hurt.I already miss her.I know I will not be able to stay away from her.She will call to me.She will call to me and I will go to her.I know I will.I cannot resist her.She is my mate.I want her here.

"In there," he says.I shake as I open the door.But inside, there is no executioner waiting for me. There are no gallows.Inside, there is the Alpha.I am confused.The door slams behind me.He turns and fixes me in his amber eyes."You survived the night," he says.It is the first time I have heard him speak."Yes," I say.He gives a little sigh. "Come here."I step towards him.He puts his hand on my back. He presses me against his chest. I can feel his heartbeat.It is quick.He moves his hand from my back, leaving his fingers on my bandage. He pulls it off my arm.He looks at my bite. "It's healing well."I look down. His fang marks have scabbed over.I nod."That's good.""Why?""It means we are destined.
