I also noticed that this book is welcoming a lot of new readers too! I hope you love it. little secret? I'm ending this book...
AZRIEL’S POV I figured out the best way to rescue the Luna that night. You can imagine my shock when I came to share my progress with the Alpha and found him gone with a note that he was taking a head-start. My shock grew when my spies in the Moon Light pack informed me of Zadok’s arrest and his close execution. I was already on my way with the warriors when Athaliah’s message of Zadok’s impending death was delivered. We got to the pack at midnight, and according to my three-month-old plan, we infiltrated the borders, clearing the guards while keeping a low profile. The heavens must have smiled at us because the entire pack was gathered for an announcement, making our entrance, swift and painless. By the time they were done crowning Athaliah Luna, we were mixed in the crowd, and brushing the dungeons for signs of the Alpha and Luna. Soon enough, news of our arrival spread and warriors were dispatched to the dungeons, seeking us out. It soon became a warzone, and I killed ever
ZADOK’S POV I held Ithra’s hand while they attended to her. “How is she? And my baby?” I stuttered, unable to swallow. She looked too thin. Our baby bump was showing but she was yet to wake up. It’s been three days already. “Her body is weak, and the baby has been poisoned. We are trying to save their lives but the odds are not in our favour.” I got on my feet and held the shirt of the doctor. “You will save both their lives!” I roared in his face and he looked scared out of his wits. “You will save them both or I will have your head.” Azriel stepped in front of me, holding me back. “Alpha. You need to let them do their job. Staying here and scaring them out of their wits will only hinder the smooth operation and speed recovery of the Luna.” “What am I supposed to do?” I asked, breathing heavily. “What am I supposed to do when my mate is lying lifeless and I risk losing her and my baby?!” Azriel maintained silence. He knew I was at my wit's end and was capable of doing a
ITHRA’S POV I woke up with a moan. Zadok was between my legs. This has been the case since I was declared ready and fit to go home. I couldn’t believe I survived. And that with Logan intact - my little fighter. When I woke up, I was unable to use my body or legs properly, I remembered the relief I felt when the news broke that my baby had survived the poison given to me by Cole. They said he had a will to fight and three months down the line, he was still kicking and ready to come out - our hybrid baby. Zadok licked me and I let out a soft moan, “Baby...” “Good morning, Amore.” He said with his face between my legs. His breath caused a vibrating feeling down my cooch and I bit my lips in ecstasy. “Zadok,” I muttered, and his finger slipped into my core. A shiver passed through my body and I felt my baby kick. “I want you.” He said, “I want you in all the way possible.” I closed my eyes, enjoying the feel of his hands on my body. His fingers went in and out of me, increa
ITHRA“She’s cursed.”I hear people whisper around me as I head to my mother, walking through the pathway created just for me.“It's about time she left us, she's nothing but a stain, a weakness.” Another voice said, but I didn't care to know who it was.I was a witch without powers. The shame of the Celts Coven witches, and a curse to my people. “Ithra. We don't have all day, Come forward.” My mother, and the enchantress of the coven spoke from her seat, barely containing her disgust and impatience towards me. I presented myself in front of her, getting on my knees as I awaited her final decision concerning me. “Don't make this harder than it needs to be. I've harbored you in our midst for the past 20 years of your life! You should be grateful for an opportunity to pay back what you owe.” I couldn't believe my mother was saying this to me in public. She usually said it to me in the confines of our house, or in the dark corners of my room, who knew she'd finally grow a limb to mak
ZADOK“What do you mean she's the chosen one?” I snarled as soon as I entered Shilhi's office. Shilhi was one of my trusted aide and hybrid. She is half werewolf and half witch. Thankfully, her werewolf side was more dominant, so much so that she couldn't cast a spell. But in what she couldn't do in spells, nature made it up to her in knowledge of herbs, and general wisdom. Shilhi was the smartest being around and she was loyal to me. “Alpha, please.” She implored, “have a seat.” I sat down, “You should know that I don't have all day. A witch is in my territory, waiting to be made an example of, so whatever you have to say, make it make sense.”My beta, Azriel, placed his palm on my shoulder, silently urging me to calm down. “Alpha, please, it's important.” I could hear the urgency in his tone.“Then let her talk.” I faced her with a raised eyebrow,“The witch is the key to the dark forest.” Shilhi began, shocking us all. “During the hunt, I felt my compass go off and realized s
ZADOK“It's either you pledge your loyalty to this pack or you face the consequences of entering my territory.” I told her with all seriousness, “and of course, you should know that no witch is permitted to live in my pack.” I reminded her casually.She didn't utter a word, her tired eyes skimmed through me like I was nothing and her nonchalance got on my nerves. My wolf urged me to slit off her neck, end things here and go to the dark forest myself. But I knew better. If she was the chosen one, I'd rather have her do the dirty work and kill her afterwards, than risking failure by embarking on the journey alone. “I'll take it that you don't have an answer for me. However, I expect an answer soon. Consider it carefully and in a few days, I expect your answer.” I finally said, finding my way back to Azriel who stood at the door, ready to kill if need be.“I will never be loyal to you.” A small voice filled the air, Ithra’s voice.Despite its groggy state, I could feel the intensity a
ITHRAIt's been a while since I was imprisoned.At least, I could enjoy the peace and quiet over here. Meanwhile, had it been at home, I wouldn't have rested from the taunts and insults from my oh so sweet sister. I must have concluded too early because the next moment, my gate flung open and a blonde lady walked into my prison with the meanest look. I knew her from somewhere, I just couldn't place where.“You shouldn't be alive, witch.” She spat at me, and the next second, I felt my arm stretch in the most painful way. My chains shot up, forcing me to my knees. How could I have forgotten her? She accompanied the cursed Alpha to my cell this morning. She was the reason why my arms were so sore and almost out of joint. “What do you want?” I spat back, “did your alpha send you here?”Slap!My eyes rolled back as I felt a stinging pain engulf my face. How on earth did she get here so quickly?“You will not use that dirty mouth of yours to mention his name!” She growled in my face, ho
ZADOKKir has been a lot more agitated lately. For some reason, my wolf became harder to control, which caused me to be in a poor mood. Just yesterday, my wolf went batshit crazy on some rogues that thought it best to cross my territory. Safe to say they sorely regretted it, as they currently burned in the deepest part of hell. Today however was going to be interesting. I sat on my throne with Azriel behind me as we awaited the presence of Ithra, or should I say, the neutral one. The doors flung open and she was dragged in by some guards, her hands tightly secured by heavy chains. She was a prisoner. My prisoner. With a wave of hand, the guards left my presence, leaving her on the floor, head bowed and alone with me and my beta. “I suppose you have an answer for me, Ithra.” I said, looking forward to seeing her beautiful face. “I do.” She answered, and my heart might have skipped a beat. “Good.” I purred, liking the fact she was responsive to me, perhaps her stay at the prison

ATHALIAH’S POV I was one step closer to my goal. I walked down the aisle with a faux smile, while Cole stood in the portal with an impatient look on his face. He couldn’t wait to get his hands on the prisoners and I could understand that. A sudden assembly had been called to welcome me as the new Luna of the Moon Light pack. I heard the whispers. They couldn’t believe that I had climbed my way up to snagging the position of Luna. Thanks to Ithra’s sudden pregnancy, Cole decided she had been tainted and could not serve as his luna. However, he had every intention of making her his slave after killing the bastard that grew in her stomach. But of course, his crazy obsessive mind couldn’t deal with the thought of killing Ithra with her baby, so he sought ways to kill the growing child while keeping its mother’s life. Hence, her imprisonment in the dungeons, coupled with the timely administration of abortive potions. Live long enough and you will see a lot of things. In the thic
ZADOK’S POV “This is useless!” I banged my fist on my office desk. “I need to leave. I need to get her out.” Azriel, the ever voice of reason spoke first. “I understand your reasons. But we need to cover all bases before we rescue her from Cole’s hold. It’s one thing to sneak you into the pack, but It’s another to take her out in one clean try.” “I don’t care! I don’t care anymore.” I said, getting up on my feet. “If it will take a war to get her out, then rally the warriors. Because I’m done with this shit!” “We can’t go to war.” Azriel's tone was levelled. “That would be us sending people to their deaths with the risk of coming up empty.” “I don’t care what you think. I need to go back and retrieve her. If you are unable to come up with a plan, then rally up the warriors, we move in three days.” “We can’t go to war.” He said and I saw red. “And why the hell not?!” “Athaliah.” He said and my anger rose to an all-time high. “She is the new beta of the Moon Light pack and
ITHRA’S POV It’s been three months. Three months since he visited me, promising to return and save me from this insanity. Every day I woke up with hope, waiting for him to save me like he promised - only to be disappointed when night fell and there was no appearance of him in my room or the Moonlight pack. A lot happened this past few months. After my sizzling night with him, I decided to prepare. I woke up that morning, wore my clothes and pretended I couldn’t feel the ache or hollow between my legs that yearned to be filled by him. I went about my life like a docile bride, doing everything within reason to convince Cole I had submitted to him. The first few weeks were tricky, seeing he didn’t believe my act and thought I had something planned. However, as we approached the third month, Cole was convinced of my acts and took every opportunity to show me off as one whom he managed to bend to his standards. Kissing up to Cole had its ups and downs. For starters, I was no long
ITHRA’S POV I returned to my room from dinner with Cole, escorted by two guards. Dinner with Cole was painful. Listening to him yap about how I needed to be good to enjoy more of these ‘privileges’ with him made my stomach churn. I sat there like a moron while he fussed over me like he didn’t beat me a while ago. I could feel my sanity dwindling the more I remained here. Much more than anything, I craved freedom. Freedom that Cole has vowed never to give me. I was trapped in an insane nightmare that was my life. One would think I have suffered enough to experience peace but whoever wrote my story thought otherwise. We arrived in front of my door and they opened it, silently urging me inside the dark room. I walked in and the door was shut and locked. I sighed and felt the walls around me, looking for a light switch. Soon enough, light flooded my room, or should I say - my prison and the first thing I saw was a dark shadow standing by my window. Startled, I blinked, grabbing
AZRIEL’S POVThis madness ends today.I thought as I marched to Zadok’s office with proof of why we must rescue Ithra.Yes, I was beyond convinced she was the one. My instinct had once again been proved right and if the Alpha refused to take action this time, I would do so myself.She was my half-sister after all.I knocked on the door and Zadok ordered me in. His face was a wreck as always. I didn’t care. I was done doing things on his terms. If there would be any further proceeding with us, then he needed to get out of that self-depreciating slum or I would yank him out myself.Damn the consequences.
ITHRA’S POVThe sound of the metal door opening stirred me awake.“Rise and shine, Luna,” Athaliah said with a smile.I felt weak. Too weak to say a word to her.“Thankfully, your mate is better and he has ordered to have you out of here.” She said with a clasp and some men entered my cell. “Seeing you can’t help yourself, I thought to bring some guards to speed the transfer.” She added with a smirk and the guards picked me up roughly.I felt pathetic. I couldn’t even fight back as they roughly dragged me through the concrete floor, leaving me with bruises and scratches.By the time I returned to my room
