#Chapter132

Cain sat at his desk, his feet resting on the wooden top and his hands rested behind his head. His muscles flexed, the definition in his biceps was more vivid. My breath caught at the sight before me.

He didn’t move. “What can I help you with, Freja?” Cain asked, almost sounding annoyed.

I stood there contemplating whether or not I wanted to tell him about Calyx; he has a right to know. But what danger would that put him in? What if the man in this room was working with Calyx?

I needed to do more digging first. “I was just wondering if I could go do some training with Samara today?” I asked, hoping he would agree and remember the conversation we had last night.

He looked at me hesitantly for a moment, as if trying to figure out if I was lying or not. I did want to see Samara but not to train.

His nostrils flared before he sucked in a deep breath. “Yes, that’s fine. I will have Calyx escort you.”

My eyes widened at his suggestion. “No!” I blurted out a little

    #Chapter133However, he has changed since Freja’s arrival; I constantly catch him sneaking around, talking about a plan with someone on the phone and how I see him glaring at Freja or me when he thinks we aren’t looking tells me he is up to something. I turned back to face Ryder. “I want to figure out who he is working with first. Calyx has a partner or partners, and I want to know who they are, especially if they had anything to do with Freja’s kidnapping.” I said through gritted teeth, the memory of that made my blood boil.Ryder nodded his head. “What do you want to do?”Freja POV:I walked around the house, looking around to see if I was being followed, and so far, I didn’t notice anything. So I cut around the side of the house and headed straight for the willow tree. As I neared the tree, I didn’t see Samara but hoped she would still show. I was up close to the tree now, and as I admired its beauty, I heard footsteps from behind me. I looked over my shoulder, and it was Sa

    #Chapter134Cain’s upper lip twitched. “You are not welcome here, and I had made that clear previously.” His tone was deep and vicious. Gunnar straightened himself, not showing any signs of being intimidated. “I wanted to see my sister and ensure she was still alive.” He snarled. Cain narrowed his eyes. “Well, as you can see, she is alive and well.” He gestured towards me. “It is time for you to leave now,” Cain said through gritted teeth. Gunnar took a threatening step towards Cain. “I am not leaving yet, not until I’ve had the chance to visit with her and ensure she is safe here.” However, my brother was not easily intimidated, and I was thankful for that because I wanted more time with him. Cain’s canines started to protrude, his nostrils began to flare, and he looked ready to pounce; this was my cue to intervene. I stepped out from behind Gunnar and stood between the two of them. “ENOUGH!” I shouted, “I will not stand here and watch you two try to kill each other. If eithe

    #Chapter135Gunnar stopped dead in his tracks. “What!” He said rather loudly and grabbed the guard’s attention. I waved the guards off and smiled, reassuring them that everything was fine. I glared at Gunnar. “Shh, be quiet big mouth. I don’t want anyone else to find out right now, not until I have figured a few things out first.”He closed his eyes and inhaled deeply before narrowing his dark gaze on me. “Does Cain know about the situation?” Gunnar asked in a clipped tone. I avoided his gaze like it was the plague and ran my hand through my hair. “No,” I said quietly and quickly. His nostrils flared, and his eyes widened, anger clear as day on his face. “Are you fucking kidding me? You need to tell him Freja, he has a right to know, and Cain will protect you.”I huffed. “Yes, I know, and I will tell Cain after I find out who they are working with and what their plan is.” I needed to know these things before proceeding or telling anyone else, as that information may help us.

    #Chapter136He released my chin and sighed heavily. “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have reacted like that; I shouldn’t have scared you. However, I will let your brother’s disloyalty slide this time and this time only.” He said sternly, “The next time he does or anyone else from your old pack, I will not let it slide, understood?”I nodded my head. “Yes, thank you.” I was grateful that he had suddenly changed his mind but still felt angry and upset with him. He brought a hand up and cupped my cheek with it, gently caressing my skin with his thumb. “If you want to see your family, just ask, and I will take you,” Cain said softly.My brows shot up. “Really? You’re not lying?” I asked. Cain snorted. “I am not lying.” He said while smiling. I reached up and wrapped my arms around his neck. “Thank you, that means more to me than you know.” He wrapped an arm around my back and pulled me in tighter to him, while the other arm held his weight above me. Cain loosened his grip and reared back

    #Chapter137Cain POV:I rounded my desk and sat in my chair; Ryder entered my office and closed the door before approaching my desk. I glared at him for interrupting my moment with Freja. “You better have a damn good reason for disturbing me,” I said in a low and dangerous tone. His eyes flicked around the room, avoiding my stare. “I apologize for interrupting, sir, but it’s about Calyx. I overheard him speaking with Samara about joining him.” My eyes widened and confusion wrapped around me. Samara had always been loyal to me, and to think that she was conspiring with my brother to kill my mate and me, threw me for a loop. I shook my head, refusing to believe this. “No, that can’t be right Ryder, she would never do something like that. Samara has always been a loyal pack member.” Ryder sighed heavily. “I know, sir, she has been an upstanding pack member, but I heard Calyx tell her to meet him later today to discuss the plans.” So he Informed me, regret lacing his tone.

    #Chapter138I headed towards the staircase, and as my foot was about to hit the first step, I stopped, feeling the urge to go into Calyx’s room, wondering if I could find more on him, something that may help me. I knew he was supposed to be meeting with Samara right now, and this would be my chance to sneak in there and get some answers. I looked all around me, carefully focusing on the darker areas. I didn’t see anyone around or hear anyone close by; I reared back from the stairs and cautiously walked towards Calyx’s bedroom. I gripped the handle of the door, glancing around me once more and turned the knob. I was kind of surprised that his door was unlocked; it made me wonder if I would even find anything if he were this trusting. I pushed the door open and closed it behind me but left it slightly open so I could hear anyone coming. I slowly observed the normal-looking bedroom. The walls were light blue, hardwood flooring, modern style furniture and a large bed, with white blank

    #Chapter139Feeling a little defeated and overwhelmed, I turned to Cain’s page and began reading. The page was detailed, speaking of his achievements and downfalls. As I continued to read, something caught my attention, Cain’s age; it said he was only 25. So I went back to Calyx’s page, and his age was 28. I sat back in the chair, a little confused as to why the younger son was Alpha and not the eldest. As far as I knew, it was always the older son who took the title of Alpha. So why was Cain Alpha and not Calyx? I remembered what Samara had said previously about the two brothers, and it never really clicked until now; it was like they were competing for the title, but why? I put the history book down and picked up the diary; it was old, withered and used. I opened the book, and the pages crinkled. Page after page had been written on, it was almost complete, except the last few pages. I turned back to the first page and started to read the entry. This diary belonged to Cain’s mother

    #Chapter140We walked out the door and into the night air, it was a cool, summer night and all the critters were singing loudly. As we walked down the steps, Cain closed the door behind us and gripped my hand in his. Sitting in the driveway was a big, black bike. I had seen similar ones before when I was little, but none like this one. The black looked almost faded, and it had swirls of silver painted on it, with gold accents. Finally, we reached the bike, and Cain grabbed the two helmets resting on the seat, handing one to me. My eyes widened. “We are taking this?” I asked in disbelief, as I was a little intimidated by this monstrous machine. Cain chuckled. “Yes, love. Don’t worry; you will be fine; I would never let anything happen to you.” He said while tucking a strand of hair behind my ear. I bit my lip, feeling anxious about riding on a bike for the first time, but I trusted Cain. I looked at the helmet in my hands and took a deep breath before placing the helmet on my he

    #Chapter171People started to approach, congratulating us and bombarding us with questions. Suddenly, I felt sick to my stomach, and my head felt fuzzy, as my vision doubled. I looked up at Cain. “I need to use the washroom,” I said quickly, then spun on my heel, practically running towards the bathroom. I made it to the bathroom and hurled the contents of my stomach into the cold porcelain toilet. Once I was finished, I stood from the floor and leaned over the sink, steadying myself. I closed my eyes and attempted to regulate my breathing and erratic heart rate. As I opened my eyes again, I was no longer in the bathroom but back in the forest of the damned and standing before the willow tree. I glanced around frantically, wondering what the fuck was going on. Helena appeared out of nowhere, scaring the life out of me and causing me to gasp. “Holy shit! You scared me.” I shouted at her. She raised a brow and gave me a deadpan stare. “Watch that tongue of yours.” Helena scolded m

    #Chapter170Things had been going well for Cain and me since our ceremony. We couldn’t get enough of each other, taking advantage of every opportunity we had to devour one another. Then, the day after our mating, we had Samara and Eve’s funeral, saying our goodbyes and laying them to rest. It was a beautiful farewell; friends and family had gathered around, saying something about the fallen pack members before Cain put them into the ground. Due to their crimes, Cain and I had decided to do things differently regarding a funeral for Calyx, Adela and Erik. Aside from what they had done, they were family and deserved a proper burial. So we decided to bury the trio on the border of both packs and kept things modest, saying a simple goodbye before coating their bodies in soil.As time went on, I slowly learned how things worked around here and adapted to my duties as Luna. Things were a bit rough for a while, but Cain was supportive and guided me through things, being patient with me as

    #Chapter169Violet grabbed my hand before leading me out of the bedroom, through the halls and out the back doors. She abruptly stopped as we exited through the doors. “I need to cover your eyes.” She told me. I furrowed my brows. “Why?” I asked hesitantly. She gave me a warm and comforting smile. “Just trust me.” Violet requested of me, and although I was reluctant, I did trust her. I nodded and allowed her to cover my eyes with her hand, knowing that I would be safe with her. Violet held my hand in hers and guided me through the yard, warning me of any obstacles in my way, so I didn’t trip and make a fool of myself. Not knowing where we were going or what the fuck was going on made me feel quite uneasy. My heart rate increased, my chest rising and falling heavily, as we continued to walk. I huffed in frustration, becoming impatient now. “I don’t like this, you know,” I told Violet honestly, and she chuckled at me. Did she think I was joking?After a few moments, we finally

    #Chapter168His upper lip twitched before his lips curled up and into a smile. Cain entangled his hand within my hair, gripping the strands with his fingers, and he closed the distance between us, capturing my lips with his. Cain lifted me up and off his lap. He laid down on the cool sheets, flat on his back and pulled me into him, wrapping his arm tightly around me as he yanked me closer to him, leaving no space between us. Cain kissed the top of my head, lingering there for a moment. Both of us were comfortable, feeling content in each other's arms as the heavyweight of sleep wrapped around us. This moment almost felt surreal, like everything was a dream. Cain had nearly died, I had almost lost him, and I could’ve died, to be honest, a piece of me did. I got Cain back, but I had lost something that meant just as much to me as he does. I could only hope that she was alright and happy wherever she was. I woke up, and the bed was empty; slight panic stirred within me, as I didn’t

    #Chapter167“I think you need to be taught a lesson.” He said in a seductive and husky tone. I squeezed my thighs together as the lust for him grew. “Yes, I do,” I whispered, and Cain released a satisfactory growl before nipping my ear. He reared back, then flipped me over and onto my back. Cain straddled me, careful not to put his full weight on me and then ripped my shirt in half. I wasn’t wearing a bra, and he seemed pleased with this, as a smile spread across those plump lips while he cupped my breasts in his hands and rolled my nipples between his thumb and forefinger. Cain stood from the bed and removed what was left of my shirt. He ripped the torn fabric in half again before flipping me back onto my stomach. Then, straddling me once again, Cain tied my hands together with a piece of the shirt before tying the other end to the bed post. My panties were soaked from my juices, as the desire to have him was stronger than ever. Once he was finished tying me, he rubbed his hand

    #Chapter166He turned on his heel and walked to the door, hesitantly opening it. Gunnar shot me one more glance before leaving the room and closing the door behind him. Once he was gone, I laid down on the bed, letting more tears stream down my face again. I screamed internally at the anger and grief that was consuming my mind and body. I sucked in a deep breath, trying to calm myself and decided to have a shower. I got up from the bed and started walking to the bathroom but stopped, my eyes drifting towards the balcony doors. I walked over to the doors, whipping them open and stepped outside. There was a storm brewing in the sky, and it was now raining. I stood there, the rain soaking my body, and I fell to my knees. As I rubbed my hands down my face, feeling more overwhelmed and distraught by the second, I looked to the sky and asked why? Just as I expected, I got no response, no answers, and I felt more lost than I ever have in my life. I closed my eyes and slowly stood to my f

    #Chapter165I peered down at Cain, my eyes taking in his exhausted features. Cain wasn’t wearing a shirt, only a blanket covering him. I slid the blanket down, revealing his once muscular physique and seeing him in such a withering state made my chest ache. My hand glided along his skin, stopping above his heart, and I could feel his weakened heart slowly beat against my palm. I reached down for the powder and opened the bottle before sprinkling the yellow substance onto his chest. Then, just as Helena instructed, I grabbed the moon rock next and placed it on top of the powder, in the center of his chest. I closed my eyes for a beat and sucked in a deep breath, trying to calm my frazzled nerves. Next, I repeated the words she told me. “Death be no more and life come forth,” I said aloud, my voice cracking slightly. I then sat back and watched him curiously. My eyes frantically searched Cain’s statuesque frame for any movement, but there was nothing. His chest began to rise and fal

    #Chapter164Erik’s arm tightened around my neck, and things were starting to go black. However, I refused to die, not today and not by his hand. I closed my eyes and reminded myself of who I was, that I am a fucking warrior. I lifted my arm and elbowed Erik in the stomach, causing him to release me. He stumbled backwards and clutched his stomach, but that only lasted for a second before he stood to his full height again, glaring daggers at me. I looked around the ground and spotted a large, fallen tree branch. I hurriedly picked up the branch and swung it at him furiously. However, Erik found this amusing and started to laugh at my feeble attempt to attack him. I swung at him again, the branch brushing against his chest this time, and his playful expression quickly vanished. Erik leapt forward, coming straight for me, but he didn’t get too far, as suddenly, he was lifted from the ground. Gunnar stood there, black eyes and snarling viciously, as he held Erik by the throat off the g

    #Chapter163Erik towered over me, and his lip twitched upwards in disgust as his eyes held darkness to them. I dug my hands into the cool earth and backed away from him, but the further I got, the closer he came. Finally, I tried to get up from the ground, and Erik kicked me back down with his boot. I stilled, deciding to stay where I was and instead propped myself up onto my elbows. “What the fuck, Erik?” My tone's anger and the hurt of his betrayal only grew. His upper lip curled into a snarl as he narrowed his eyes. “That cure is coming with me.” He growled out, his tone deep and demanding. I snorted and then gave him a deadpan stare. “Over my dead body.” Even though I was shitting my pants right now, as he had an advantage over me, I refused to let him take what was rightfully mine. I had earned this cure and gave up a piece of myself in the process, just to get it. Erik stepped closer, his feet on either side of my legs now, trapping me in my place, before stopping and sn
