Lilith pov I can't help but let my thoughts consume me as I lie in the bath waiting for Haggen to get back . I had mixed some of my oils to try and relax me from the storm within me . I won't lie, I have been struggling to keep my distance from Len , she is my best friend . Being in the same space as her has my light white aura wanting to battle with the darkness that is trying to consume my best friend . The clash of our auras causes Len pain , she tries hard to ignore it . She has put up with so much pain from an early age but that doesn't mean I want to inflict any unnecessary pain on her . My grandma has been so helpful but said that I was in charge. She was only here for guidance . The meeting this afternoon was going over and over in my head . I have been sending prayers to Hecate , for her help in saving my friend . I have even been sending Selene some prayers as Len is one of her wolf children . I wasn't beyond saying I was desperate , but my grandma kept telling me to b
Lex pov She hasn't been right since she was found , she's jumpy and has a haunted look to her . The time she was gone was the worst time of my life . I prayed to the moon goddess every night to bring her back to me . I know she isn't my fated mate but she would be my chosen , if she wanted . I guess that would be something we would need to talk about , right now I just need her to get better . I have seen Haggen’s mate in action , she is something else . To be honest anyone who can keep Haggen in place is going to be badass to start with . Steel my wolf , has been going crazy , he wants blood . Even though the goddess decided Fallon wasn't for us , I still prayed she would change her mind , second chance mates are rare . It does happen though . Steel has always recognised Fallon's wolf Mist as his , since the day she shifted into her beautiful white/silver coloured wolf he was smitten . ***Flashback*** “Lex , I am scared everyone said it hurts .” Fallon said as we are making ou
Haggen pov I can't help but be worried for Lilith , she is my mate . I have waited a long time for her , never in my wildest dreams would I think I would be mated to a witch . Not just any witch but one of the most powerful witches or high witch if you like . It was her personality I loved , she was fierce . Not to mention her long legs , long red hair and stunning green eyes . Just thinking about her has my dick twitching in my pants . I know using so much of her magic is taking its toll on her , even though she would never say . We have been preparing to help unlock Lenny's memories , we need a full moon . That gives up three more days to try and help Fallon . Lil seems to think it could be linked to whatever is going on with Lenny . I have been trying to encourage my mate to rest while she can but of course my girl is all about the greater good and saving the world . Nope she will not have any of it and insists on working . I know she is feeling it without having Len to talk t
Fallons pov A blinding pain shoots through me , I'm almost positive I heard Mist whimper . Another pain causes me to scream , Lex comes rushing to me “ Fal , Fal baby come on . What's wrong ?” I want to answer him but I can't get my brain to work , I can feel my body shutting down . What the fuck is happening ? Was that Mist ? These were the last thoughts before the darkness takes me. The last thing I heard was Lex pleading with me not to leave him . It's peaceful, the pain has eased off , I feel like I'm floating . There is a light up ahead , it's bright in the darkness . I feel nothing , no pain , no sadness, just a lightness . Am I dead ? Is this the afterlife? I feel like I am floating closer to the light . I can feel a presence , there is a silhouette ahead . Is it Lex is he with me ? Is this a dream ? I am so confused . The light is getting brighter , I shield my eyes as I am pushed through the light . It takes my eyes a few moments to adjust to the light . I am standing u
Leonor pov Everyone was still on a high from Fallon and Lex being mated , to be honest apart from the obvious PDA’s they looked at each other the exact same as before . Tonight was the full moon and Lilith was going to free Jewel . From what we found out from Fallon’s wolf Mist , Jewel has refused to submit and was doing all she could do to take chunks out anyone who was close enough . I was seriously amused and proud of my big beautiful wolf . I was hoping there was no lasting damage from the wolfsbane they were injecting her with . I miss her so much , this has been the longest i have been without her since i was fifteen . I know tonight it's going to hurt , Lil is adamant there is more than just the dark lord’s magic at foot here . She is almost sure there is a witch helping him , to be honest apart from the maids and guards we never saw anyone else . I was lost in my own thoughts in the shower. Without my wolf's extra senses I never heard Orion enter the bathroom and nearly

Leonor pov Lilith decided that doing the spell under the Moon was the best way to harness the most energy . Orion thought the clearing in the middle of the forest was the best place to do it as it was private and unoccupied . As Orion and I walk to the clearing my nerves are kicking in and my palms are sweaty . I have no idea what to expect , pain has been something I have always dealt with throughout my life . Magic on the other hand is something I have always tried to avoid . When we enter the clearing I notice the runes that Lil has spent most of the day burning into the ground . If it wasn't such a shitty situation I would describe the clearing as romantic with all the candles and crystals . I notice the four witches at one end and Lex with his arms wrapped around Fallon at the other . Poor Hagged is being used as Lil’s glamorous assistant , running about like a headless chicken following her orders . I have to laugh at Haggen , 6 '2 of pure werewolf muscle , takes no shit and
Jewel pov I have no idea how long I have been in this shit hole of a cage . To start with I had Mist with me but she was in a bad way . I swear to the goddess the next time i get the chance i am going to rip that fucking blonde bitches head clean off . The dark lord or should I say limp dick has stopped trying to touch me since I almost ripped his hand off . They have been shooting me up with wolfsbane so i keep going unconscious , causing me to lose track of the days . I have been worried about Mist , they have been using her like a personal blood bag . My only comfort is that Mist managed to reconnect with Fallon . I miss my human , Len and I have always been a team . I miss our mates , when I think about Onix it gives me butterflies, my big black wolf . I am not sure how long I have been out this time , It's a full moon . I send a prayer to mother Selene , to protect Leonor when I can't . The horrible filth of fae have just left , my daily dose of torture is over . I was just
Lilith pov SItting looking at the body of Sasha I can feel the rage starting to build within me . This was a declaration of war . If someone's want for power is so great it has them taking innocent lives . Sasha was eighteen, she had only just started her training. She had lost her mother to cancer a few years ago. She lived in one of the rooms in the common house. She was a pleasant young girl, always happy to help. Yet as I stare at the haunted expression, the fear on her face. I feel like I have failed her, not only her but all these women. They look to me for guidance but seriously i have no fucking idea what to do, how to go forward. I can feel Haggens anger coming down the mate bond not only anger but fear for me. He is here for me and I know he needs to go back soon but his duty to the pack and his love for me is tearing him in two. The darker side of me is sitting just under the surface wanting to rip this whole world apart. I know I can't, I know I have a duty of care to
Zara povThat little bitch wants to think she can look down on me , she has no idea of my power . Who does she think she is ? and my darling sister just allows her to talk to me as she wants. Well, they have no idea what I am capable of and who I know . Leaving her office with Telia on my heels, I was so furious I didn't see the girl walking towards me with a basket full of what looked like herbs until we collided . “Watch what you are doing you stupid girl” I growled at her as she landed on the ground . “Sorry I was on my way to see the priestess,” she stutters . The Priestess , the fucking Priestess is this what she has been asked to be called . I do not think so. I think to myself as the girl gathers the content of the basket that had spilled out over . As I watch her scrambling around picking it up from the ground my temper spikes and I step on the girl's hand . As I step harder I hear the bones break as she squeals , Telia looks around with wide eyes. “Mama , what if someon
Lilith pov I hardly slept. The spirits are not happy and unfortunately since i took the job it's me they let know of their displeased moods . The minute I took the position I was bound by their rules , except only those who have been or are a high priestess will know we are forbidden to talk about our bounds and the rules we are bound by . This is something Zara will never understand , the powers I now hold are vast and extremely draining on your own reserve . Telia isn't strong enough and there is too much darkness in Zara for her to be given the responsibility , the spirits would never allow it . I have been trying to work through some paperwork to do with one of the other covens when my office door was opened and in waltzed Zara and Telia. “Ah Lilith , you are here” Zara says as she makes herself at home in my office . “Yes I am here in my own office” I say back dripping it in sarcasm . “Now now little LIl remember your manners when talking to someone older” She says, narrowi
Lilith pov My patience is wearing thin with this bitch , being now bound by the laws of our goddess means I can't just get rid of her . Sometimes I wonder what the point is in dealing with this shit , no wonder my Grandma looked exhausted when I was a child . What no one understands is the laws I need to uphold and stand by . It's not quite as easy as just taking the title like most think it is , I am bound and that alone is tiring . Haggens anger at her outbreak of threats and he is justified in so but honestly i just want to sleep and get lost in my mate . Standing from the table I thank Almara for my soup , give her a kiss on the cheek and go to my Grandma “I am going to have a nap , i am exhausted” She cups my cheek in her warm hand , looking at me with her green eyes much the same as mine . There are a lot of emotions floating in her eyes , the strongest being concern . I know she feels guilty for bringing Zara and Telia's wrath upon me . I place my hand over hers enjoying
Lilith pov A week is never enough but at least Haggen will be with me for a week or so . I can feel myself dragging my feet as we pack the car to leave saying goodbye was harder this time now the twins have arrived . I wish to spend some time with Len and Fallon , sometimes a girl just needs her sisters . Unfortunately last night I had a call from Almara to let me know that Zara and Telia had been openly trying to recruit supporters from my own coven as soon as I left . That means they must have been informed I had left , so that is a whole other issue . I am already fed up with my position. I would quite happily give it up but my Grandma has had her heart set on me guiding the covens into a united front . As our car leaves the packlands my heart hardens as I need to get myself back into the role I hate the most . “Hey baby , are you ok ?” Haggen asks as he leans over and squeezes my leg . Drawing me out my thoughts , taking a big sigh, I turn to him . “I have a bad feeling a
Lilith pov I hate that I had to leave again , especially since Len is pregnant but I need to work through the shit with the covens . The backlash since I became high priestess has gotten worse , in fact there is talk of them turning against me . If it was just me I wouldn't care but I have Haggen and the pack to worry about . Four covens I oversee , each coven has their own set of rules but they also have the rules of the higher power . I already know who is leading the unease against me , she feels she should have been given the position of high priestess instead of me . The truth is my Grandma has been training me for this since I was a child . She always said my powers were greater as a child than even hers . My mother passed away when I was child and I never knew my father. Grandma always said he was worthless and never deserved me . Being brought up by the most powerful witch in our region was something most witches would love . Our coven is the northern coven where I gr
[Epilogue part 2] 9 years later Alpha Prince Saint pov My head is banging as I sit and listen to my father lecture me on drinking too much . He wouldn’t understand even if I tried to explain to him , my parents' relationship is the strongest I have ever seen . Rubbing my temple , I have been drowning out his consistent talking until her name was mentioned . Bellatrix , the only female i have ever loved , but i fucked it up . Six months ago I broke her heart and every day I have hated myself for it . I can't remember how or why it happened , I have never ever looked at another female ever . For some reason I ended up so drunk I can't even remember getting back to the packhouse, never mind the female who was lying naked next to me . Six months I have tried to piece together that night but the only thing that ever is there is the look on Bellatrix’s face the morning she stood in the doorway to my room with coffee in hand like she did every other morning . The look on her beauti
[EPILOGUE PART 1] King Orion pov 10 years later It’s the annual summer festival and we always have a family picnic with our ever growing families . The twins are now eleven and we also have a five year old son who is honestly a riot , Belenus never stops .

She is a lovely little thing , at the age of three she just follows Emerald around and my princess never gets fed up , no she just looks after her .

Leonor pov We are all waiting outside the delivery room for the birth of the future Gamma to happen , it's been almost two hours . I have never seen Lex looking so stressed out, poor guy . I have just finished checking on the twins when the first screeches of a new life entering this world reach our ears . Lex bursts through the door looking rather dishevelled and flushed “ It’s a boy , we have a son .” We all cheer before he goes back in the room to his mate and son . I feel Orion’s big strong arms wrap around me from behind , he kisses my temple . “ Well, it looks like Saint now has his Gamma .” Orion says with a proud look on his face . After another half hour we are allowed in to visit Fallon and her new baby son . Fallon as always is sitting up looking like she hasn't just given birth , the look of pure love on her face as she gazes at her new pup . Lex is sitting beside her , a protective arm around his little family . What was the best part was seeing Lilith being trul
