Mirage's P.O.V

A wave of nostalgia hit me the second I set foot inside my old apartment.

Almost like a movie playing out in front of me, I saw me and my sister fighting for the last slice of pizza on the couch in the living room…My mother's heartfelt laughter echoing through the room as she cooked us dinner on a Sunday afternoon…My father singing karaoke with us late at night, his voice enchanting and mesmerizing as he sang the lyrics to perfection…

And just like that, those memories blew away like dust, leaving behind an old, worn down house that was decaying like it had been abandoned for centuries.

The kitchen was right opposite to the entrance, followed by the dining room and then the living area to the side. There were no large windows where the wind chimes could be hung…no stairs that led to the attic…no separate rooms for me and my sister. There were just two large doors at the back of the living area whose doors had been ripped off of its hinges and from

    Mirage's P.O.V Dinner at a restaurant with friends? If someone had told me this a week ago, I wouldn't have believed them, probably because I was one of those raging, frothing at the mouth, rogue wolves who didn't understand words and clawed away at anyone who stood in front of me. But today, sitting at a café at eight in the evening, having dinner with my mate and my newly made friends…it was something the old me couldn't even imagine. But the old me was long gone. And I would much prefer this new version of me over the old me, any time of any day. Also, the fact that I still couldn't remember much of the old me helped in numerous ways. Eating out had seemed like the perfect getaway after we arrived back in town later in the evening and all of us decided that we needed something cheerful to drive away the gloominess we had brought back from Lincoln County. "So…you guys started planning for the big even yet?" Alex asked both the other couples pre

    Mirage's P.O.V "Mom!" I called out as soon as I stepped inside the house. "I'm home!" Only eerie silence greeted me from inside the wide space. What? What was going on? Why was I having this nightmare again? It was that house again…that house…where was I? Which house was this? How did I get here? I paused; looking around at the open windows and watching the curtains blow back in the warm afternoon wind. The wind chime on one of the windows made a twinkling sound, one that I often found pleasing. But for some reason, that same sound felt ominous today…like the chimes of a knell… "Mom?" I called again. "Dad? Maze?" "Mom? Dad? Maze?" I called out once again, but that eerie silence remained. What was happening? It no longer felt like I was inside my body…rather, it felt like I was outside my body, watching myself falling into a trap, and yet I was unable to stop myself. I saw myself rooted to

    Mirage's P.O.V "So, the only feature visible was his red eyes?" Freya confirmed, even as I felt a shiver run down my spine at the mention of those red eyes. There was something very wicked about those red eyes…something that my mind was protecting me from. But in order to get to the bottom of what happened to my family, I will need to remember who those red eyes belonged to eventually…and I was fearing that day with all my heart. "Yes." I nodded now, curled up on myself. I had trouble falling back asleep last night after what I had dreamt of. I had woken up kicking and screaming at the top of my lungs and Alex had had to barge in to help me calm down. It hadn't been a pleasant experience, that dream, but something told me, this wasn't going to be the last time I saw it. "I'm not going to ask you to recall everything." Sarah reached out to touch my shoulders and I just about flinched away, before remembering that I didn't have anythi

    Alex's P.O.V "Alpha, even though we are not aware of the threat yet, I think we should try to strengthen the borders." I told Alpha Charles, with Darcia, Cameron and Freya in attendance. "The fact that Mirage is seeing someone in her nightmares coming for her…I have a feeling that whoever had forced her to become rogue…they're coming for her once again. And we need to take precautions to keep her safe." "I think there's a possibility that a tracker had been activated when we went to Mirage's old house." Freya told him. "When we went to that house in Lincoln…I started to feel something strange." "Strange?" Alpha Charles leaned forward in his seat. "How so?" "At first I thought that the reason might be because of my past with my gambler father." She swallowed. Frey had yet to get over her father's death, especially since there had been so much left unspoken between the two of them. And now, I sa

    Mirage's P.O.V I waited for Alex to return all evening but he was nowhere to be seen. I had woken up hardly an hour ago, after sleeping peacefully all morning, afternoon and almost till eight o' clock. And then Sarah had gotten me a late lunch-dinner…linner? Sarah had also given me a heads up that he might be running late…quite literally, because he had been assigned outer perimeter patrol duty from today onwards. And he had also been made the supervisor of his patrol division. I knew that he had his duties to fulfill and a pack to take care of…but after that dream, I became more and more anxious the longer I stayed away from him. I didn't know if it was normal or I was just being clingy…but I really missed him and it had only been a few hours since I last saw him. I stood by the open door, pacing around my room once and then returning to the same spot once again because every time there was a noise down the hallway, I kept thinking that Alex might have re

    Mirage's P.O.V "Then take me." I told him. "Make me yours tonight." Alex's head snapped up in my direction, his eyes pure golden. "Say that again." "I want you Alex." I swallowed, debating if I was making a mistake or not. "I think…I think I'm falling in love with you." The next thing I know, my lips were being consumed by his and my back hit the mirror on the wall behind the counter. Alex put his hand at the back of my head to save me from the impact, cushioning the blow, but I hardly paid attention to it. My mind had gone completely blank the instant his lips had touched mine and I was about to lose control in the best way possible. The closer he drew me in, the more I felt the heat of his shaft right at my apex, rubbing over my folds through the barrier of our clothing. But I didn't want that! I wanted our clothes off! I wanted him inside me! My hands reached for his shorts again, but this time, he

    Mirage's P.O.V I entered the dining room the next morning to find Julian being chased around the whole room by two little girls, about the same age as him, while everyone watched from the sides in amazement. I paused, raising my eyebrows in interest as I watched the scene unfold in front of my eyes. From across the room, I saw Freya and Sarah doubling over in laughter as Julian looked all but ready to burst into tears. "Someone mind telling me what's this about?" I whispered to no one in particular, as a crowd began to form around the three kids, everyone trying their best to hold back their laughter. "Julian's been chosen as Prince Charming in his annual middle school play," Derek Roland, one of Alex's old friends told me, chuckling as Julian neatly dodged one of the girls at the last moment. "And his two admirers are furious that none of them got to play Cinderella." "Really?" I chuckled. "Then what part

    Mirage's P.O.V "I hope you didn't take our teasing to mind, did you?" Sarah asked me once she had sorted out the dress she was going to wear to the birthday party. "It was just mindless teasing. Don't mind us." "What exactly happened?" I asked them both. "No matter what…I just can't imagine Alex to be that kind of a man who would just go around sleeping with women…" I shook my head of the images my mind was trying to conjure up, especially of Alex and Cindy together…naked and in bed… "Did he and Cindy…?" "Not really," Sarah shook his head. "Cindy and two of her cheerleader best friends were sometimes linked with Alex, but he didn't start sleeping around until he was well into his twenties. It was mainly Derek who slept with all three cheerleaders and was damn proud of it." "Man-whore." Freya rolled her eyes at the mention of Derek and I got this feeling that the two of them did

    Lilac's P.O.V It's been a long ride and a very eventful one at that and anytime I think about what Krimson and I have been through, I'm just grateful we had the strength to go through everything we went through and we were able to come out of it even stronger than how we were before. As the sun cast its warm, golden rays across the university campus, I found myself sitting on a bench, the weight of decisions pressing against my chest. The soft whispers of the leaves rustling in the gentle breeze mirrored the conflicted thoughts swirling in my mind. Krimson, my mate, had offered a future tied to our pack, an enticing prospect for many, but not for me. I gazed at the sprawling grounds, feeling a tug in my heart that wasn't just about academic pursuits. The university held promises beyond the textbooks and lectures. It offered freedom—freedom to carve my own identity, to explore knowledge that extended far beyond the boundaries of our pack's traditions. I yearned to brea

    Krimson's P.O.V I woke up to the pale light filtering through the hospital room, the faint beeping of monitors sounding in the background. My vision was hazy at first, the events leading up to this moment a jumbled mess in my mind. As I blinked and slowly tried to focus, the first thing that became clear was Lilac's form, peacefully asleep in a chair next to my bed. Relief washed over me as memories flooded back, fragments piecing together into a coherent narrative. "Lilac," I whispered softly, my voice hoarse from disuse. She stirred slightly, a faint flutter of eyelashes against her cheeks, but she remained deep in slumber. The sight of her there, unwavering by my side, despite everything that had transpired, filled me with an inexplicable warmth. I couldn't help but recall the chaos of that night—the confrontation, the whirlwind of emotions, and then the blankness as consciousness slipped away from me. But here I was, waking up to her steadfast presence. It m

    Lilac's P.O.V I watched Silver hurl accusations at me, adding to my guilt. I wanted to explain, to make her understand that it wasn't intentional, that the circumstances had shifted beyond my control. But words seemed to desert me in that moment as I grappled with the weight of her accusation. However, Krimson's voice echoed in the room then, commanding even though weak. "Silver, it's not Lilac's fault," he said firmly, his voice carrying the weight of authority. "I made the decision. I took action to protect." Silver's gaze snapped toward Krimson, her eyes filled with disbelief. "What are you saying, Krimson? You hated her, didn't you? Then why would you risk your life to save her?" Krimson shook his head solemnly. "No, Silver. I never hated Lilac, it was our circumstances that I hated. It felt like the Goddess had played a cruel joke on me. But I couldn't run away from a bond fated by the goddess herself, Silver. I had caused Lilac enough pain as it is…I

"Silver…" I called out to her slowly, making her head snap in my direction. "Please…you need to stop all of this." But Silver's face twisted in a sinister smirk. "It's too late to stop any of this, Lilac. This ends with one of us." "It doesn't have to be that way, Silvia." I shook my head, pleading with her. From the corner of my eyes, I saw Del approaching her steadily from behind her, while I kept on engaging her in conversion. "It does, Lilac." Silver snapped at me, turning her body around so she was facing me completely. "You don't understand-" It was all Del needed, for her to turn away, so that our plan worked. Without wasting a second, he came up behind Silver and wrapped his arms around her body, holding her in place as he took her by surprise

    Lilac's P.O.V For a moment, time seemed suspended, the tableau frozen in an eerie stillness. Silver hesitated, her gaze flickering between me and Krimson, the dagger held poised in the air, its lethal purpose momentarily forgotten in the face of Krimson's interruption. "Step away from her, Silver," Krimson's voice cut through the tension, unwavering and authoritative. His stance was firm, commanding obedience without question. The grip of Silver's magic lessened, the pressure easing just enough for me to draw a ragged breath. My muscles protested as I struggled against the binds anew, though I didn't dare to take my eyes off Silver, her expression a maelstrom of conflicting emotions - anger, desperation, and a hint of something I couldn't quite place. "Krimson, you shouldn't be here," Silver's voice wavered, a tremor betraying the turmoil within her. Her grip on the dagger faltered, uncertainty clouding her features. "You know I couldn't stand by and

    Lilac's P.O.V The air was thick with tension, a palpable energy that crackled around us like a storm waiting to break. "Silver, you're fooling yourself if you think you can wield that kind of power," I said softly, my gaze fixed on the gleaming knife in her hands. "You're not a true Silver Alpha Breeder, you never will be. You can't ever access my full potential." Silver's laughter cut through the serene air, a sound that held a hint of something darker beneath its surface. "Oh, you have no idea, do you?" Her eyes glinted with an intensity that sent a shiver down my spine. "You underestimate what a witch can do, what I can do. I'm part wolf, part witch. I'm a hybrid that is already stronger than both a wolf and a witch! There's nothing I cannot do, Lilac!" "You think I chose you to lead our pack because of some noble sentiment? No, Lilac." Her voice was cold, devoid of any warmth. "I chose you because I knew the stronger you became, the more that dormant p

    Lilac's P.O.V My eyes brimmed with confusion and hurt as I confronted Silver in the dimly lit room I was being held captive in. "Did you…ever really consider me a friend, Silver?" my voice trembled with a mixture of fear and desperation, my heart aching with the weight of betrayal. Silver, her gaze heavy with sorrow and a haunted past, met my eyes. "I used to belong to a peaceful pack, a pack that had been my home since the day I was born," she began, her voice tinged with a raw emotion that spoke volumes of her pain. "We lived in harmony, in unity. It was everything to me." Tears welled up in Silver's eyes, reflecting the agony of memories etched deep within her soul. "Your father," she whispered, the words heavy with anguish. "He... he attacked our pack. In the dead of night, when darkness cloaked the land, he led a brutal assault." I felt my heart ache for the woman that I had once considered my biggest alley, but now, she had turned out to be my bigges

    Krimson's P.O.V The night hung heavy around us as we tore through the city streets, the engine's roar mingling with the howling wind. Del and I were on a mission—racing against time to reach Silver's apartment. It was imperative that we find Lilac before anything sinister unfolded. "Alpha Krimson, step on it!" Del's voice cut through the adrenaline-charged air, urgency lacing every word. His grip tightened on the door handle as we swerved through the dimly lit alleys, the neon signs blurring into streaks of color. "I'm pushing it as hard as I can!" I shouted back, my eyes fixed on the road ahead. The weight of worry pressed on me like a leaden cloak. We had to reach Silver's place, and had to find Lilac safe and sound. Finally, screeching to a halt outside Silver's building, we leaped out of the car. Breathless and tense, we dashed up the stairs, each step echoing the pounding of our hearts. As we reached Silver's door, our hopes soared, but a hollow silence gre

    Lilac's P.O.V As I slowly arose to consciousness, I found myself grappling with the weight of my heavy eyelids. My mind sluggishly pieced together the fragments of reality, pushing through a dense fog of disorientation. The air felt heavy, each inhale a laborious effort that failed to fill my lungs as it should. A peculiar lightheadedness swept over me, a disconcerting sensation akin to floating on the edge of a dream. My initial attempt to stretch my arms, to move, met an unexpected resistance. Panic flickered through my drowsy mind as the realization hit home—I was restrained. My fingertips brushed against something coarse and unyielding, confirming my fear. The sensation sent a jolt of adrenaline through my groggy state, clearing the haze momentarily. I tried to rise, only to discover the cruel truth of my predicament: bound, not just by ropes or chains, but tied firmly to what appeared to be a marble table. The cool surface pressed against my skin, a s
