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 .

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
Leonor pov My heart was full , standing next to my mate in wolf form was amazing and if I am honest at one point I thought it would never happen again . Orion and I allowed our wolves to spend the night together , after what Jewel had been through she deserved it . I had looked through Jewels memories while she was away , I cried watching what had been done to her . My poor wolf had been beaten , electrocuted by a cattle prod , ice water thrown over her and poisoned . I also saw her attack both Cicero and Reec on more than one occasion . My wolf has heart and so much sass she makes me proud . I won't lie, I did watch the last attack on Reec more than once , it was entertaining to see the dark barbie bleeding . I mean who the fuck wears a bask and short skirt to torture in . I also saw Mist , Fallon’s poor wolf was weak she had put up with so much . Jewel had tried to deflect and take the heat from Mist , my wolf tried so hard to make them leave her friend alone . Jewel is a fi
Alpha Prince Orion pov The pride of my people accepting my mate as their future queen was overwhelming . The fact she never thinks she is worthy is cute , watching the light blush creep up her perfect milky skin . She is perfect , the love I have for this tiny woman is like nothing I have ever experienced before . Right now Leonor is standing in one of my oversized t-shirts looking like a deer in the headlights , even though she is a werewolf she has very little knowledge of living in a pack . Scooping her up into my arms , she lets out a startled squeal . Laughing I turn to our people , man that feels good calling them ours . I excuse us and promise to dine with the pack tonight , but for now i want my mate to myself . She looks tired as she snuggles into my chest using my scent to lul her off to sleep . No matter what she says I know she still isn't 100% since she came back . Getting to our room I open the door and carefully place Len down in our big bed and cover her over ,
Leonor pov I could feel the love coming off Orion , he was beaming down at me as he had his arm wrapped around my waist . The acceptance of our people was overwhelming , for the first time in a long time I felt like I belonged . We stayed and spent time with the members of the pack after the dinner had finished . Don't get me wrong, there are some members. I can feel their scepticism but I understand and look forward to proving I mean everything I say and promise . I can always feel my mate keeping an eye on me as he talks to some of the elders . My mate is breathtakingly handsome , I still need to remind myself that he is real and he is mine . Lilith was seated on Haggens lap as she whispers something in his ear and judging by the wide eyes and red tint to his cheek is rude . I just shook my head and smiled to myself , I felt Orion’s aura before I saw him move to my side . Fallon was still looking tired but very happy , Lex refuses to leave her side except if she is with one of
Lilith pov I was so happy for Lenny , she is finally starting to believe in herself and have faith she is who the prophecy speaks of . There is something still bothering me though , getting Jewel back was far easier than I thought . Don't get me wrong i know Len went through hell , the pain was enough for the goddess to step in but something was off . It should have taken far more energy to rebind their souls , I wasn't even drawing to my full extent. Basically I could have done it on my own , no need for the others . I tried not to ponder on it and allow my best friend to enjoy her life for a while before the war will steal her peace and happiness . I know Haggen can feel something is off , he knows I'll tell him when I'm ready . At the moment I am sitting in my study listening to two grown ass witches argue , my patience is almost gone . My grandma had left yesterday to check on the coven , the remaining three witches decided to stay and help strengthen the runes that protect t
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 .

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
