Zane's POV

Stepping away from Mystic shadow pack and away from Selena made my heart bleed. Riding my horse through the rolling heels and verdant forests, the feeling of emptiness that had settled within me was unshakable.

All the memories was still in one piece. The memories of Selena's lips on mine, the feeling of her body against mine, her laughter and free spiritedness, all lingered in my mind likened to a ghostly presence.

Glancing over at Thane my beta who was sitting beside me, I noticed that his eyes was fixed on my face, his expression blank.

"Troubled? I sense it," he asked, quicky reverting his direction and facing ahead.

Clenching my fist and facing ahead, I tried to avoid the irritation that I felt at that question. I really didn't want to admit how much Selena had gotten under my skin.

"I'll be fine, as much as I am," I said to him.

Thane's eyes flickered with concern but he tried to maintain a neutral face.

As we rode on, the silence between Thane and me was palpab

    Karen's POVWatching Zane walk around the pack house, his broad shoulders coming and leaving view, a pang of sadness usually enveloped me. We've always been siblings, or at least thought we were. Not until I discovered the letter.The letter that changed it all.It was on a cold night, all the guards had retired to their place of sleep. Still assuming that I would eventually become the next seer of the pack, I took a walk of discovery.As I walked, I couldn't help but notice the way my feet seemed to draw along the floor, as if heavy with the weight of the whole pack.Little did I know that I would discover something that would eventually change my entire perspective about Zane.The darkness of the might had enveloped me like a shroud as I wandered through the dimly lit corridors. I knew I was into something interesting, as my wolf kept drawing me out of my room and along the way to the study. The soft glow of the candelabras cast eerie shadows on the walls as I moved towards the st

    Karen's POVThe effect of the information was too much to bear. As I paced around the room, my mind was racing with thoughts and emotions, and began to feel like I was going to collapse. My legs felt more like a jelly, my breath coming in short gasps, and I felt my heart racing like a wide animal.Looking around the study room, images of my dead parents and other old servants began too appear around me, taking very familiar positions. It was more like a picture, only that this time they were moving and creating the very conversations that I cherished the most."No, Zane. She's your sister. Give her some of your bread,"I heard mother say as she leaned to read out a poem from a book."Yes. We attack by sunrise!!" the chief warrior said, emphasizing on the last words, but speaking in a bit of a whisper.Father only nodded, his eyes fixed on me. A wide smile escaped his lips as he locked eyes with me."Karen, my dear. Come now," he called, gesturing for me to come closer to him. "I'll be

    Karen's POV"Talk to me Karen, what's truly wrong with you?" Zane asked, getting up from his sit and walking towards the bed."I said I'm fine!" I cried loudly. Tears were begining to well up in my eyes as I faced the window.I was hurt and in intense pain. Mother's painful death took a toll on me as I sat in the hospital bed, sobbing within me.Zane, obviously staring at me for a while, said nothing as he stood up from the bed."I've always known."The words were like a bombshell to my ears. I sat up on my bed, my ears twinging. I watched as he folded his hands behind him, his back on me."You do?"He slowly turned to face me, his face plane and his eyes unrevealing."Strange right?" he asked, his hands still clasped behind him." Of course it's strange!!" I yelled, placing my hand immediately on my head as my head began to ache. "How long have you known about it?"His face turned serious as he walked towards me. "I felt the same way too, Karen. I couldn't believe it. It was just too

    ROWAN'S POV The tension in the air was palpable and every single person could feel it. The firelight from the torch danced like a specter across the walls, adding an effect that only made the tension rise. The cold air from outside blew hard into the tent, yet beads of sweat races down my face.Before me stood Darius, his stance rigid and his hands behind his back. He has ordered for the guards to take off the ropes so I was no longer bound. Still, my shoulders slumped, weighed heavy by the situation. The once-dominant Alpha paced about the room in firm, sharp steps, set ablaze with unspoken hot calculation.Finally, Darius stopped and turned to me, his glare cutting. "If I let you walk out of here, it's not because I trust you," he muttered as he took a some steps towards my direction. "I let you walk because because your hatred for the... Selena burns almost as hot as mine." I had explained to him the story of how Selena really was the Seer so his pause and correction before saying

    Karen's POVMy eyes could properly carve out the intricate contours of his face. At first he seemed to be smiling, the with a more intense view, I was dead sure that the cloud wasn't smiling, not at all. His mouth seemed to be open as he looked down at me, his face more like he was about to scold me for doing something out of place.I looked down again, noting the wonderful pack members once more. Trying as hard as I could to place away his face from my memory.Father lied to me, and that's what seemed to have mattered at the moment. I just couldn't believe that my whole life was one of lies and deceit. How could he do that to me? No one gave him the right to do so.No one.Looking up at the sky again, the cloud had disappeared and all I could see were different patches of white across the wide blue sky.I quietly pondered on the frowning face, hoping that it wasn't a revelation or something, for truly, I cared less. He lied to me and that's enough reason not to fret at any damn revel

    Zane's POVIn the meeting, I was able to convince the elders that lending a helping hand to mystic shadow pack was the right thing to do at the moment."We have to help them regain stability. That, as you all know would help up in turn have a strengthened alliance," I said, looking at all the elders on their faces."True to word, Alpha Zane, but how do you with to accomplish that , considering the distance between the two packs? " Elder Rhodes who sat opposite me asked, his face ladened with concern.I took a deep breath. "I'll have to go there.""Oh you truly don't mean that Alpha Zane, do you? " Thanos asked, sharing glances with other elders around him.I knew it would be hard to convince them to see reasons with my suggestion, but I had to give it a try."The newly coronated Alpha of mysticshadow pack is no other than our very own Seer, Selena."As I said this, I watched as the expression on their faces changed from surprise on my earlier suggestion, to a greater surprise at the d

    ROWAN'S POV Three nights before the war arrived and it blurred past in the haze of tension, strategy, and anticipation. It was filled with activity at first over the night. Whispering commanders in huddled clusters all concocting a means of making the most out of any weakness in enemy defenses. As everyone hurried about, getting themselves busy with one thing or the other, I stood at the center of my tent with my eyes focused on the map lying right across my feet. For the time being, I had been made General to Darius, so they had asked for me to lay out my plans to the commanders again-to strike at the weak eastern flank of the Mystic Shadow Pack.Cain, lead scout, returned with good reconnaissance-the routes the enemy patrolled were predictable, and though their numbers were formidable, they were spread thin across the territory. "We have the advantage," Cain assured me with sharp eyes that gleamed with confidence as he walked out of my tent. Yet a feeling of gnawing unease could n

    Zane's POVTharen's eyes darted back and forth as he tried to avoid direct contact with my eyes, yet he sounded most convincing."Believe me my lord, I have your best interest at heart," he said, adjusting his clothing and standing erect.I chuckled in an attempt to break a mistrusting ice that I felt was brooding between us. "Don't get me wrong, Tharen. Indeed I have fallen for your convincing gift again."" I perfectly understand, my lord. It's the duty of the seer to stand by the alpha at all times, even using the best of his talents to support his goals and drives. "" Very well said, Tharen, well said, " I replied, turning to shake hands with an elder moving outside.I watched with surprise as Tharen's hands turned into fists, his smile, previously charming and effortless, stiffening."When do you plan to leave, my lord?" he asked, his eyes darting to the side before regained composure. I turned to face him sharply, his gaze meeting mine with an unnerving intensity."Why so tro

"This is strange," he whispered to my hearing, his face turning serious." You dare call me names Karen!!"I pulled on my hair, looking down and sideways again. " Yes!! and I'll call you more if you don't step away from me this instant!!"I struggled to maintain the anger I felt over Zane and the extra bolts of action and emotional instability my wolf provided.Was I going crazy?"Karen calm down!!" Zane commanded again, taking forceful steps towards. " Come on now, you need some rest!!"I saw myself taking steps backwards against my will. In good times I'd be very willing to take steps towards him, getting lost in his embrace.I still wanted to, but I just couldn't do that, I couldn't see myself doing that. I pulled on my hair again, trying to keep my self in a stable place for him to get close to me, b

    Karen's POVI knew I had to get some rest, had to let my body and mind recover from the turmoil of the day. And so, I made my way to my bed, my movements slow and deliberate as I climbed under the covers.I lay there, my eyes closed as I felt my body begin to relax. Sara's presence was still there, still simmering just below the surface. But I knew I could control her, knew I could keep her at bay.As I drifted off to sleep, I felt a sense of peace wash over me. I knew that tomorrow would bring its own set of challenges, its own set of battles to fight. But for now, I could rest.But my rest was short-lived. As I slept, I began to dream. And in my dream, I saw a figure, a female werewolf with piercing green eyes and a fierce determination etched on her face."You're playing with fire, Karen," she said, her voice low and husky. "Your plans will lead you to your grave, mark my words."I tried to respond, but my voice was caught in my throat. I tried to move, but my body was frozen in pl

    Karen's POVI stormed out of the room, my anger towering to heights as I had watched the one I love sink into the hands of one I tried to kill severally, Selena.I could feel my wolf within me stirring strangely, and this caught me surprise."Easy now Sara, I'm trying to think!!" I commanded my wolf, louder than usual. As I did that I raised my head almost immediately, turning around to look at the guard who stood post around me. Their eyes were at me at first, but they turned their head away as soon as my gaze darted through.My wolf continued to stir, prompting me to try and force her down, but she was having none of it."Quit it now I say!!" I roared again, placing my hand at my mouth almost immediately. My actions were beginning to be uncontrolled, and this added to my fear. What was going on?My face became a mask of fury, my eyes blazing with anger as I continued to move towards my chamber. Was the effect of my fall out with Zane beginning to way off on me?Shaking my head viol

    Rowan's POVI became desperate, my blood running fast as I took quick uncontrolled steps towards her."Look, your life lies in my palms," I began to say, signalling the warriors to let go of her hands as I stared deep into her eyes. "Tell me what to do, and I'll honor your stay here. "She gave out a loud laugh, her fangs visible. She looked deep into my eyes, squinting hers. "And how do you think I'll be interested in such an offer?"I was confused. " Wait, you hate your life?"She shook her head vehemently, taking steps away from me.Ignoring my question, she headed to the throne. The guards that stood with her were alarmed as they attempted to rush to her, their claws shot out, but I restricted them, watching her closely.She moved around strangely like one possessed of several wolves."You wish to fight against the principles of prophesy, Rowan, " she said, giving out a mirthless laugh and taking a quick turn to face me. "You'd lead yourself sooner or later to your own downfall."

    Rowan's POVWell, well, well," Kael said, his voice dripping with sarcasm. "Look what we have here. The great Alpha Rowan, risen from the dead."I aimed the knife at Kael, my eyes locked on his. "You're not going to be the new alpha, Kael," I growled, my voice low and menacing. "Not while I'm still alive."Kael's expression changed, his eyes narrowing as he realized I was a threat to his plans. He sneered at me, his claws shooting out as he gave a hissing sound"We'll see about that, Rowan," Kael said, his voice dripping with malice. "Let's settle this once and for all."I smiled, my eyes locked on Kael's. "I'm ready for you, Kael," I said, my voice steady and calm. "Let's end this."And with that he rushed towards me, his fangs shooting out and his eyes turning blood red. I stood still, a smile still flickering on my face. This would be a very short fight, and I knew it.He got to me, wiping his claws as I expected directly on the cut part of my hand.I smiled, releasing the knife I

    Rowan's POVI broke the surface, gasping for air, and that's when I saw them. Three giant crocodiles, their eyes fixed on me, their jaws open wide. They were heading straight for me, their powerful tails propelling them through the water.My heart skipped a beat, and I felt a wave of panic wash over me. I was trapped, stuck in the water with no way to defend myself. The crocodiles were closing in, their teeth bared and ready to strike.I knew I had to act fast, or I would be dinner. But my mind was a blank, my thoughts frozen in fear. I was paralyzed, unable to move or react.And then, just as all hope seemed lost, I felt my wolf surge to the forefront. It was a primal, instinctual response, one that took over my body and mind.I snarled, baring my teeth, and prepared to face the crocodiles head-on. It was a desperate, last-ditch effort, but it was all I had."We're gonna die!!" the flippant warrior screamed in panic, his eyes completely shot." You have to stay strong!!" I roared bac

    Rowan's POV"It's your turn, your majesty," Kael called out loud, and I couldn't help but notice a ting of envy and animosity lying beneath his voice.I shot a quick glance at him, noting with the moonlight how a flicker of smile had spread through his face. But was that the case or was I only seeing seeing things?I breath in real hard, turning to glance at the other two warriors standing with me. The faithful lad who helped tend my cut was ever scared, taking a step backwards and shivering in complete fright."You're the Alpha aren't you? Think of a way out of this mess!! " the flippant warrior chipped, running his eyes over me and taking fearful steps backwards all the same. I knew for sure he felt I couldn't win him in a fair fight with one hand chopped off.But he'd live to see that, or so I hoped."We must be strong, young ones," I managed to say. taking steps again towards the water bank. "If they on the other side could do it, then surely we can!!"I turned around to them, rea

    Rowan's POVI could feel the pain coursing through my body, but it was nothing compared to the shock and unbelief that I felt.How could this have happened? I was the Alpha, the strongest and most powerful werewolf in the pack. I was supposed to be invincible, not some maimed and crippled creature.I looked up at my warriors, who were staring at me in shock and horror. I could see the fear in their eyes, the doubt and uncertainty. And in that moment, I knew that everything had changed. I was no longer the invincible Alpha, but a wounded and vulnerable creature."Alpha Rowan!!" three of the young warriors among the rest of the warriors called, taking quick steps forward to me.As they walked up to me, I looked up at the warriors scattered before me, noting with pleasure that most of the old generation of fighters were killed in the just ended battle with mysticshadow pack.I still had a chance to the throne, a chance to control them all and lord over them.With expert hands and a sense

    Rowan's POVI had managed to rally my warriors back to my side, and as we trudged through the forest between mysticshadow pack and Redmoon back, my mind and thoughts travelled back to the words and prophesies of the werewolf I held captive."We must get to her... quick," I whispered to no one in particular, but my lead warrior caught the sound of my voice, as he ran towards me with utmost speed and devotion."To who, my lord?" he asked, his unusual aura of loyalty and complete devotion making me to turn to him with a quick glance."The prisoner," I replied dryly, halting at the same time. We had gotten to the river bank that crossed over to the boundaries of Redmoon pack, and noting the darkness of the night, I understood that if we were to cross over the water, then we'd do so with utmost care to avoid being eaten by the crocodiles. The warriors with me halted too, understanding the situation at hand."Warriors, If we must to cross this body of water, then we must do so with our liv
