Asher's POVWe reached Lunaria faster than I had thought possible. No ambush. No fights. No road blockers. And that was what was bothering me the most. When John and I barely made our way to Kathy's uncle’s house, no one stopped us either. Too good to be true! Relief washed over us, especially John, when we saw her there, safe. For a second, I thought we would be successful in our mission with an easy way out.We didn’t have time to waste. After the initial greetings, and mostly Kathy and John behaving like they had not seen each otherfor years, I launched into everything, every detail about Dane’s involvement with Elsa’s kidnapping. The fact that Dane might have killed Elsa’s parents.Kathy’s eyes went wide. “How do you know that?” she asked, her voice shaky.I swallowed hard, remembering the scene as if it was happening all over again. “I was hiding in the cupboard that day. I saw it. I saw what Sylvie and he did.”Kathy closed her eyes, taking a deep breath before sighing heavily.
Elsa's POVThe car roared down the narrow road as I tried to evade the car following me. I wanted to go into the civilization and find some help, but I was lost. I had no idea where I was going since there were no signs and no GPS, and I cursed how I dropped the phone. The old car wasn’t helping either."Fuck!" I groaned, stepping on the gas pedal. The car kept getting closer by the second.Panic surged through me, but I had to calm myself. I couldn’t afford to lose control. Not now. I looked over at my father in the rearview mirror and sighed with helplessness. He was still unconscious in the passenger seat. I didn't know how he would react when the drug wore off. A new determination riplled through me. I had to take him to safety and get help before that. I had to find Jake or any help at that.Suddenly, a loud bang echoed through the air. A gunshot. I flinched, jerking the steering wheel in reflex. The car swerved violently. I tried to regain control, but the jolt caused my father
JAke's POVThe silence in the car weighed on me, heavy and suffocating as I sped towards Genelia's location. I knew where she was. I had to save her. I was a fool to not protect those around me before launching this attack.Well, Dane didn't know my relation with Genelia and I didn't see it as a threat. But I had leveraged Asher and I should have kept his family safe. I ordered immediately to protect the rest of Asher's pack and even John's family from now on. I wasn't going to repeat the mistake twice.My thoughts were scattered, torn between Genelia and Elsa, each second ticking away like a countdown. My mind slipped back to Elsa, her scream echoing in my ears. I wanted to go to her, save her. I knew she was in some kind of danger. But here I was going somewhere else.I stared out the window, trying to focus, but Xander, sitting beside me, smirked victoriously, snapping me back to the present.“I am simply the best." He looked up with confidence. He pointed at his laptop and showed m
Jake’s POVWhen we reached the old forgotten factory surrounded by thick woods, I could immediately feel the threat hanging in the air. Dane had changed this place to a den for criminals and illegal activities. As soon as we stepped out of the vehicle, I saw Dane and Lunaria’s forces crawling all over it like rats. I clenched my fists as my small team, Xander and I crept closer, already catching the scent of wolves and rogues.Dane or Genelia were nowhere to be found. “You have got to be kidding me,” Xander muttered, eyes scanning the crowd. “They really brought in Lunaria to fight with Asher?”My hands trembled as claws emerged. "It’s not just them," I said, gritting my teeth. "Rogues. Lots of them.""Why?" Xander was confused."Maybe he knows He wasn't expecting Asher, but me..." I whispered, clenching my fists"Shit!" Xander groaned as we charged towards them. The air was thick with the smell of violence. A snarl ripped from my throat, challenging them. Claws and teeth, blood and
Elsa's POVWhen I woke up, the first thing I noticed was that I was alone by a tree. A lot of weird plants were spread across me as if to mask my scent. I groaned, scratching my head. I looked for my father, still tipsy. I looked around, trying to remember where I was, and what had happened. But everything was a blur. The last thing I remember was the accident spot. And then I saw the moonlight glistening over a waterbody, not far from here.Water.I walked towards it, feeling thirsty. I washed my face and quenched my thirst, but that's when I saw him. Damon, my father, was sitting on a large stone, staring at nothing. His fingers rubbed against his wrist constantly, like a loop and he kept repeating something frantically. I walked towards him, my steps slow and deliberate. That's when the pendant glistened under the moonlight and I realized what he was doing. I gasped when I saw the wound on his chest. He was rubbing the crescent moon's sharp edgest so harshly, his skin on his ches
Damon's POVWhen I finally reached the waterbody, I let Elsa rest beneath the shelter of an old oak. The madness in me simmered, threatening to break free. I was a mere puppet of Dane, and my job was to stop Elsa from shifting. If needed, I should kill her as well.But something didn't allow me to even do a single scratch on her. She seemed so precious, so important. And I had been restless ever since I brought her to my home for some years now. That place, which I really didn't bother about, was beginning to feel like home.By now, one thing I have realized. Despite these feelings, this fatherly love, I still had no control when I saw her as a threat to Dane's mission. I was afraid, this side of me, the dominant side of me, would harm her eventually. The only thing that kept me in control and my sanity intact for now was sharp, shooting pain.I looked at her. She was unconscious and helpless. I should protect her, care for her, and stand for her as her father. I wanted to tell her how
Elsa's POV"Elsa!" Asher closed his eyes, embracing his fate. How could he? How could he accept death?I shivered, watching in horror as Damon closed in on Asher. His grip tightened, and Asher’s face paled. I looked at everyone, hoping someone would save him. But no one dared to move an inch. And Dane looked at them like he was watching a great show.My heart pounded in my chest, and I screamed inside. But before I could do anything something massive struck Damon, sending him crashing to the ground. Asher coughed. But he was safe.A howl tore through the forest, echoing in the night. The sound was fierce, raw, and powerful. My vision blurred for a second before I realized it had come from me. It was me who had saved Asher!I stood there, my body no longer human, but my wolf. I had shifted. Despite the drugs. When or how, I had no idea. All I knew was that this power coursing through me was new, stronger than anything I had ever felt. I growled, stepping forward, my eyes locking on Dane
Elsa's POV The battle was chaos. Jake’s side of wolves was nothing if not relentless and brutal. They were a sight to behold in a war. And I was only contributing as little as I could. They crashed into Dane’s forces, shifting the tide almost instantly. The clash of wolves was deafening, the air thick with growls, the tearing of flesh, and the sound of bodies hitting the ground. The blood beneath us was stained to dark red, showing that this was a blood bath. “Stay together!” Jake’s voice roared through the pack link, commanding and fierce. “Don’t let them break the line!” I could hear him, too, perhaps through our bond. I could feel the determination surging through the pack bond. Jake’s presence was like an anchor in the madness. His massive black wolf, a towering figure of raw strength, tore through the enemy ranks. With every swipe of his claws, with every snap of his jaws, he was taking down Dane’s men one by one and their numbers began to dwindle faster. If not for my fat
