Lily’s POV

I tossed and turned in bed trying to get a peaceful sleep, but with every slip into the unconscious, I kept being tormented by the black wolf.

I should not have thought about him earlier.

Waking up due to the restlessness of seeing him in my dream, I made sure to be careful not to wake the kids up.

Why would he not just leave me alone? Why was he coming to mind all of a sudden?

No matter how hard I tried to push thoughts of him away, he kept coming back, invading my mind with images and sensations I couldn't ignore.

Sitting up in bed, I wondered why he was revisiting my dreams after being silent for so long. What did it mean? Why now?

Lucas. I sighed and wondered if it was trying to stop me or encouraging me. Either way, I closed my eyes and tried to calm my racing heart before drifting back to sleep.

But unlike the peace I anticipated, I found myself trapped in another dream. This time, it wasn't just his wolf form I saw; it was his true form. His large and

    Lucas' POVI went back to my room, trying so hard to get my emotions under control. I could not scent any male wolf on her, meaning that she had not been marked. I had lost my wolfness to my witchblood and powers.We were castrated because of our powers, my mother escaped and left me with my father. Returning to the Luna Crest camp was one of the things my mother dreamed of. To regain the Hawthorne family name. But I couldn't care less.All I wanted now more than ever was to have Lily and her kids as mine. Now that the witchblood has come to be generally acceptable, my mother and I remain the most powerful in all of Mistwood Creek, after Lord Darkwood.After a quick shower, I dressed and headed back outside, only to be intercepted by my mother. “Lucas, I need you to take the kids out again today,” she said, her tone leaving no room for argument.“Mother, why do you keep insisting on this? They don’t learn anything from me,” I protested, trying to keep the irritation out of my voice.

    Shawn’s POVThe morning sun had just begun to rise over the Blood Moon camp. Martins and I were already up and getting ready to hit the road to the warrior's camp close to the mansion. As we were leaving, Shadowvale stood in front of us. “Why does it look like you are sneaking out on me?”I smiled. “Why would I? I informed you of our little trip, did I not?”“Bring the boy back,” He replied and walked away.“He could have just told me to come back. Why talk like I was not just standing right here?”I shrugged. “Let’s go,”We got far from the camp, and then I paused and pulled Martins closer. “Here is the plan,” I began.Martin pulled in with keen ears, so I continued.“We will go in as knights for the fight tomorrow, then I will leave you and execute my plan. Do you understand?”“Yes, but I think our outfits don’t quite suit that of a knight,” Martin said, looking down at the plain pants and shirts we had on.“I have a plan for that,” I smiled mischievously.I took out the bottle co

    Lily’s POVI was stunned as Lucas tore off my wig. My heart raced with a mix of anger and fear. “Why… Why did you do that?” I demanded with a trembling voice. I never believed that Lucas would be mean enough to get my hair exposed.He met my gaze, his expression a storm of emotions. “Why won’t you tell me who the father of your kids is? Is it because everyone in Mistwood Creek already knows who you are?”“That’s my business, Lucas. Not yours. It’s my decision, and I’m not sorry for keeping it from you. And I’ve turned down your proposal,” I shot back, my words sharper than I intended.His eyes flickered with hurt, and for a moment, I felt a pang of guilt. Clara, sensing the tension, stepped forward and took my hand. “Lily, we need to go find the kids.”I turned and decided to walk away with Clara. As I turned, Lucas reached out and grabbed my arm. “Let them be,”I yanked my arm free, anger bubbling up inside me. “Leave me alone Lucas!” I yelled. “You left little kids out there and all

    Shawn's POVSitting across from the old lady who addressed us, I could not quite notice what she said. I was more concerned and glad that I found Lily. I had questions to ask too but wanted to tread with caution. I knew that Marcus confessed to her being his mate after making her his slave.“Shawn,” Martin called.I turned to him. “What is it?”“We need to get out of here, I can feel some dark magic approaching,” he replied with his tone mirroring his fear in them.“There is nowhere I would leave my sister, her friend, and her children here,” I replied without moving my face away from the old lady.“But…”Martin’s words were drowned by the arrival of a dark presence, we turned in the direction of the presence and I met the man from earlier on.He had a bleak expression plastered across his face. “Mother,” He said coldly.“Come over here,” The old Lady instructed.“Remember our mission,” Martin whispered into my ears.I nodded in recognition of his reminder. If I was to execute my

    Shawn’s POVCan I talk to you for a moment?” I asked Lily.It had been a while since I saw her and it still all felt so unreal. “Sure,” She replied and stepped a bit away from everyone with me.“I have missed you, Lily,” I said first as I fell into her arms.She hugged me in the same fervency and cried. “I have missed you too,”We stayed that way for a little while before I released myself from her embrace. “Where did you say you would take us,” She asked.“We are planning an attack on Mistwood Creek and to exert revenge on the Twilight Ridge. I would love for you to join us,”She shook her head. “Shawn,”I saw the hesitation in her eyes. I could not force her, I did not want her away. I was finally happy that I had reunited with her and I understood that Marcus was the father of her kids. I did not want to make her choose.“You don’t have to,” I said in low tones.“Marcus is the father of my kids and sadly my destined mate. I have tried countless times to get rid of him from my thoug

    Leila’s POVStanding at the threshold of our townhouse, Maureen stood closely behind me. Unlike other days with some bloody activities going on, Father thinks it is best we wait and watch the unfolding of what is going to happen next in Mistwood Creek.Maureen stood a few steps away from me, trying her best to crochet like humans. But of course, she was terrible at it and a very slow learner at that. “Why not stick to spells and evil and leave that for those who it fits?” I said, clearly unamused by my tease.“Come on sister, I’ll outgrow all that soon with you as Queen and myself by your side,” She replied.“Outgrow dark magic and think you will be by my side? Who has lied to youMaureen?” I laughed dryly.“Well, I would at least have some privileges, so I would use it to begin a home,” She replied teasingly.“Okay,” I replied curtly.She was not going to like the actual outcome of what would happen if she retired.“The day is getting more boring than ever as it is drawing to a close

    Leila’s POV“Could you wait a bit out here?” I said turning back at Maureen.“Why?” She retorted almost immediately.I was somewhat taken aback by her rebuttal, but I immediately regained myself.“Because I said so. Any questions?”“No sister,” She replied with her head bent down dejectedly.“Let’s go, Smithson,” I said as I turned away from her.Smithson and I went inside his home and immediately the door closed behind us, he snaked his hands around my waist and planted hungry kisses on my lips.“Hang on Smithson,” I said, bringing his actions to an abrupt pause.“I thought you were here to wish me good luck for tomorrow,” He said, and one look at him one could tell that he was not faking his normality.“Come on Smithson, You can call off the pretense, I know what you did and I am proud of you,” I coaxed him.“But I did not…”“Smithson, I don’t like that you want to lie to me,” I said, forming vexation.“But I don’t even know what I did that is making you proud of me?” Smithson repl

    Leila’s POVAfter Maureen left, I followed Smithson using a concealing spell to mask my presence. I knew that there would definitely be confrontations between himself and Marcus.If he emerged victorious for me, that was an added advantage but if not, I would have to find a way to strike another deal with Marcus.After walking a while, in a straight path, he switched and walked towards the other side of the mansion. As he was walking, he collided with someone who had a good hold over him.“Watch where you are going boy," he barked at the young man.I was expecting the young man to flinch, but he did not. Instead, he stood and gazed at Smithson's face.I couldn't see the face of who it was, but Smithson's face was white as snow, and immediately his eyes fell on the person.“What the hell are you doing here? Wanna know what happened to your sister?" He yelled but there was no response from the young man.Desperate to see who it was, I decided to use a little trick to make the person sp

    Shawn's POVThe grand hall of the beautiful mansion was bathed in the soft glow of sunlight filtering through the stained glass windows.I sat in a chair close to where Sean and Clara sat. Marcus was about to be crowned King of the Wolves.“If you need anything tell me okay,” Clara said as she checked where I was wounded."Hmm, thank you, Clara,” I replied.Thanks to Lucas, I got more preferential treatment from Clara.The hall was filled with members from the four packs. The Twilight Ridge werewolves, led by Marcus, and Luna Crest led by a little girl who I barely knew. The Silvershade pack is led by me and the Bloodmoon pack is led by Shadowvale.Finally, all the pain, struggles, and fighting have been put behind us. As I scanned the room, my eyes landed on Marcus, standing tall in front of the hall.Beside him stood Lily, his marked bride, her eyes bright with happiness. Their children stood with them, looking around with wide-eyed wonder.The ceremony began with the eldest seat, s

Every morning was beautiful to behold and every night was as peaceful and pleasurable as I had imagined it.Finding Lily was like I finally found my missing rib.My official coronation was the next day and I had lots of preparations to make, as well as make a courtesy visit to the villages and each pack.“What are you thinking so much about, my love?"I rolled my eyes. “Don't ever say that again Winston else I'll cut off your tongue,"“What? I was only trying to bridge the gap since she's out with Clara," He replied.“You should do that as your chubby self, rather than mimic your queen," I replied, faking anger.“Fine, I'll shut the door after me and send word to have her come back,” He replied, also feigning vexation.“Silly man," I said and we both laughed.By noon, we were all complete for lunch. It was beautiful to have the mansion this lively.“Mother, Aunt Clara taught me how to create w

    Lily's POVDamn! I have been such a fool.I ran without considering where I was going. The pain was just too much to bear. I had pushed Marcus away despite my growing attraction to him because I also blamed him for everyone's death.But he was the one only trying to clean up his father's mess. “Arrggh!" I yelled into the sky.I don't know how or why, but it started to rain. The rain started as a drizzle, but it quickly turned into a downpour. I stayed in the rain and cried.Each step I took splashed through the forming puddles, and the cold rain soaked me to the bone. I barely noticed.“Lily, wait!” Marcus’s voice called out behind me. I didn’t stop. I couldn’t face him, not after everything I’d done.The memories of our past and the hurt I must have caused him played in my mind. I kept walking, but Marcus caught up to me, grabbing my arm and spinning me around to face him.“Lily, please, talk to me,” he said, his voice filled with concern and desperation.I yanked my arm free, the a

The air crackled with energy, the barrier shimmering under our powers. But it held firm, refusing to yield.Leila watched us, her smile never faltering. “You can’t win, Marcus. This is my game now.”But I refused to accept that. I dug deep, summoning every ounce of strength and determination I had. I thought of Lily, of Raymond and Fiona. I couldn’t fail them.With a final, desperate effort, we pushed against the barrier. There was a blinding flash of light, and suddenly, the barrier shattered, sending us tumbling forward.I scrambled to my feet, my eyes l

    Marcus’s POVMy journey back to Mistwood Creek felt longer than I expected it. As I arrived at the villages, the clamor of battle was deafening.I noticed the full moon's glow on my skin and despite it being dark, I could spot all my runes. My fangs were out and so were my claws.I felt energy surge through me and my senses heightened. The tangy smell of blood and dust filled the air and I could make out the faint smell of cedarwood and flowers.I took out the vial and gulped everything down in one go, before proceeding in the direction of the mansion.I was going to find Lily and my kids no matter what.Arriving at the first gate to the mansion, I noticed Shadowvale and his men transformed back to their human form and whatever was left of my knights hurried behind me.“I told you Marcus, I would be back," Shadowvale said with a cold sneer."And I think you should be on your way out right about now,” I replied coldly.Shadowvale laughed and his men joined him. "Do I look like Shawn to

    Shawn's POVMartin and I finally made our way out of the village just as the sun was about to set. The sky was colored with hues of orange and purple, and I could see the moon beginning to emerge, just as I was feeling my wolf gradually taking over me.As we passed through some parts of the village, I noticed some doors hung off their hinges, and debris littered the ground. Villagers with fearful expressions hurried past us, whispering frantically among themselves.“What happened here?” Martin asked, his voice hushed as we took in the scene.“Shadowvale,” I muttered, my jaw clenched. “He must have been here.”Martin's eyes widened. “We need to move quickly, Shawn. He was not supposed to attack the villagers.”“It's the full moon’s effect," I replied blankly. “Let's hurry up to him nonetheless,"The further we went, the more signs of destruction we saw. It was clear that Shadowvale had left his mark, and the villagers had suffered for it.“Damn him,” I cursed under my breath, fury boil

Lucas had proven to be so much of a headache.He was supposed to be an easy nut to crack, but he proved himself to be smarter than I made him to be.I had gotten Lily back and left instructions with the dark sorcerers of Luna Crest to make sure that Lucas didn't see the light of day.As I approached the townhouse, I saw Maureen waiting for me at the entrance, her face was pale and lacked any form of the usual excitement."Sister," she called out, in a flat and emotionless voice. “We need to hurry,” She said with a tone of indifference.I knew that who would still be feeling offended about Smithson's death, but there was nothing I was going to do about it.“Why is that?" I asked as we made our way inside the house.“There have been some little disruptions in the lower parts of the village and it was only a matter of time before the full attack began,” She replied coldly.I knew what that implied

    Lucas's POV Looking at Leila's retreating back left me writhing in anger at her audacity in turning back on her words. I should have known better anyway, once an evil witch, always a wicked witch. I looked away from Leila and her flowing black veil and rested my eyes on the helpless Lily being carried away by the men who were with Leila. "Make sure she is not conscious," Leila instructed them. "The kids?" One asked. "Leave them as they are. Lucas already did that," She replied and turned to face me. Her dark men who surrounded me seemed to be there to restrict me from doing anything reckless, rather than execute me from the plan. "What happened to your integrity, Leila Darkwood," I asked her angrily. "I don't have one, Lucas Hawthorne," She replied with a sinister smile. "I actually don't have all day to spend here chit-chatting with you, so I will go ahead with my question," She knows who the hell I am. I searched her as she spoke and gauged the strength of the men

    Marcus’s POVI was still doubtful of her innocence in all this, but for Lily's sake and Grayson's sake, I would give her the benefit of the doubt."Start speaking," I demanded, my voice echoing off the walls.She looked up at me, a flicker of hope in her eyes. "How is my father?"Really?"Stop playing games with me," I snapped, taking a step closer. "You’ll meet your father if you tell me what I need to hear."Clara seemed to hesitate, her gaze dropping to the floor. After a long moment, she sighed and looked back up at me. "Shadowvale is planning an attack on Mistwood Creek."I felt a surge of anger and concern. "Fair enough," I said. “But that's not all I want to hear and you know it,"“I'm sorry King Marcus, but I don't know who that whirlwind belonged to," She shook her head and I could feel her genuine flow of emotions.“Is there anyone you suspect might be after them?" I asked.“Apart from you, that would be Lucas. He wants the kids, Raymond and Fiona, dead and…” She paused.The
