CALLA’S POV
I wandered through the bushes, unable to find my path. Where am I? I thought fearfully.
The sky was getting dark. I needed to go before it got too dark. I needed to go back to my pack. But how?
“There you are!” A voice said from behind, and I was startled to a stop. Slowly, I turned around, looking for the owner of the voice. “You thought you won didn’t you?” She smirked, hands akimbo.
“Did you think I would not find you?” My body jittered with fear. “Did you think I would not find you in this forest?”
“Leave me alone,” I said, stepping back. “I don’t know who you are.”
“Of course you don’t!” The woman roared, and the grounds beneath us shook. “You destroyed my face! This is a glamour to cover the wickedness you have done!”
I felt like I needed clarification. I didn’t r
CALLA’S POV.My dreams didn’t stop.I woke every day with another horrifying dream of the dark forest and Shilhi.As time proceeded, they stopped feeling like dreams. They seemed so real - like I had lived in them. Like I walked through the grounds of the dark forests and battled with many things with a person I couldn’t see his face.It didn’t help that Cole was dumb to my questions and desire for knowledge. Scarlett too. Every time I met them with my dream, asking more and more questions about the dark forest and the woman, Shilhi, they tended to wave it as another of my meaningless dreams.At some point, they even said I might be conjuring hallucinations using my powers! I could never get over the ridiculousness of that theory. The worst part of it was that I couldn’t help myself.I could not help myself and as the days went by with me idly sitting in my room or walking around th
ZADOK’S POVThe pack had been quieter than usual lately.Since the day I banished Athaliah, the air in the pack was filled with a sense of foreboding. I couldn’t stand it anymore.I decided to visit the training ground. It’s been a while since I’d been there and I needed some fight to burn off the nerves around me.Pack members greeted me with a bow as I passed, headed for the one place where I knew I would find Azriel - who had also been distant lately.I stepped foot on the training ground, and everyone stopped sparring. They got on one knee with their heads bowed. “Alpha.” They chorused in greeting and I nodded my head in approval.“Rise.” They got on their feet at my orders and I walked in front of them, with a proud look. “I can smell the sweat and blood in the air. I’m glad that the Blood-Hound warriors are still what they used to be.” This time,
CALLA’S POVScarlett handed me a potion to drink while they watched me curiously.Cole never left my side since I regained consciousness. I couldn’t drink it - not after what I heard. Who knew the extent to which they would go to stop me from regaining my memories?Or what they have done for the past three years I have lived here. As I looked them in the eyes, I knew I could not trust them. Not anymore.“Are you feeling pain anywhere?” Cole asked when I failed to drink my ‘medicine.’ I winced at his words.“I think I need to use the bathroom,” I muttered, looking at them both. “Alone.”They shared knowing looks and Cole got on his feet. “I will be back.” He said to Scar. “If there is any problem, do not hesitate to call me.”Scar nodded and he walked out of the room, leaving me alone with her.“Tak
COLE’S POVI could feel her slipping from my hands. My Calla.These days, she has become a whole new person from what I made her to be. She drifted farther and farther away from who she was as time proceeded.I needed to claim her. I had to trap her and make her mine before things got out of hand. I headed to her chambers with one thing in mind. To make her mine, spirit, soul and body.To ruin her for anyone else. Including herself. Whether Calla liked it or not, she would become my woman and bare my pups. With her strong hybrid genes and my Alpha blood, we could create babies strong enough to take over every pack and become the King of all werewolves.A long-term dream of mine.I had yet to explore just how powerful her wolf side could be. There was so much of her to cover and it felt like she was escaping from the reality I had mapped out for her - A reality I had carefully created and planted her inside. 
COLE’S POV“We caught the Gamma of Blood Hound pack in the outskirts of our territory,” Scar said as we walked.My eyes widened. “What?”“She has been arrested and placed in the dungeons. She claims to have a message for you.” She added as we proceeded.“Interesting,” I said as we got to the dungeons. “Good thing I couldn’t sleep. Talk about the right timing.”My blood boiled as I entered the dungeons while she led me further into the dungeons. “Here she is,” Scar said, stepping out of my way.I walked to the front and my eyes met the burning ones of a female wolf who stood without fear in the dungeons. Her face was familiar, I had seen her before. I just didn’t know where.“Alpha Cole.” She bowed in greeting. “Nice meeting you again.” She shook her hands and the chains clattered.
COLE’S POV I received news from my Allies in Zadok’s pack after three days. Our gamma wasn’t lying to me. She was kicked out for deceiving the Alpha and causing him to believe his mate was gone. Although she kept that she had always had the hots for Zadok, I could forgive her. She was too interesting to be killed over something so fickle and mundane. Other than that, I received a comprehensive detail of who she was, how she joined her former pack and her capabilities. I was sufficiently intrigued. As I approached her cell, excitement coursed through me. I couldn’t wait to see her face when I told her my condition. I looked forward to that with all eagerness. I hadn’t seen Calla for the past three days - She was confined to her chambers while I contemplated the best punishment for her misdeeds. It was clear I needed to get her under control. But that would be later. For now, I needed to sort things out with Athaliah. I approached her cells and her head was raised and waiting
CALLA’S POV I hadn’t seen Cole since he tried to rape me. I was going crazy in my chambers, waiting for his next action. His punishment for my refusal to give in to him and my hurting him with my powers but he didn’t come. I didn’t know what was worse - getting punished for my acts or waiting for a punishment that wasn’t forthcoming. In the usual Cole manner, by now, I ought to see something that would point to consequences for my action but this time, there was nothing. I was getting treated better. More food than I could have asked for, more clothes, jewellery, you name them. Cole went above and beyond to spoil me despite not appearing in front of me for the past three days. Was this his way of mentally torturing me? If it was, then it was working. I couldn’t even sleep without the nightmare of him appearing in front of me and trying to kill me. I needed out of this torment. My door opened and Scar stepped in. I couldn’t contain my joy - Finally, someone who could feed me
ATHALIAH’S POV “Of course not.” I giggled, staring the bitch in the face. “You would remember if I met you before, wouldn’t you?” Ithra’s eyes narrowed, and uncertainty filled her look. “I guess.” “Exactly,” I said with a smile, noticing her unease. I wondered what she saw. Or what she remembered to ask me that question. From my observations, Cole wasn’t far from the truth. It seemed like this bitch was getting back her memories. I didn’t know if that was a good or bad thing yet. I mean, I only tortured her in the past and later apologised about it. She wouldn’t mind. She shouldn’t hold grudges. I thought sarcastically. If I was going to place my tent here, I needed to be sure no one could displace me. Not even the future Luna. I felt a plan come together and my smile appeared naturally. “Shall we go on with the business of the day? Do you feel tired, Luna?” My words were concerning but my tone was mocking. She noticed it but covered it up with a stern outlook. Some things
