~ Rayel’s POV

Panic clawed at me as Elara’s mental link flickered, replaced by a terrifying image,a dark cave.

“She is in danger!” I yelled out. Every ounce of self-preservation melted away, replaced by an urge to protect her.

The fragmented images Elara had sent were enough.

Mountains, a cave entrance. It wasn't much, but it was all I had. Barking orders to Boris, I rallied my most trusted warriors. We rode with a desperate urgency, the rising sun painting the sky a bloody red that mirrored the turmoil within me.

Hours bled into one another as we traversed treacherous terrain. Doubt gnawed at the edges of my determination.

Had I reached in time?

Then, a flicker of hope. A plume of smoke rising from a clearing in the distance.

I felt energetic, so I urged my men forward. The scene that greeted me was a tableau of chaos. Elara, battered and bruised, was surrounded by Darach's men. Her defiance, even in her weakened state, ignited a fury within me hotter than any fire.

" A group of young ladies sparked at me, right in public.I felt terrified at their roars, stepping away from them a bit. I was just strolling by and noticed a group of young ladies, having fun while talking. They are the same age as me, so I felt if I drew closer to them, and acted like them, they would accept me. But I thought too soon. They didn't hesitate to ridicule me the moment they laid their eyes on me."How dare you come near us?! " One sparked, almost storming at me."Don't touch her! She's a filthy wolfless brat!" One insulted, pulling her friend away from my point."She's useless. Let's just go." They turned their backs on me, leaving.

" I pulled myself out of bed with my headache, standing in the middle of the room I was in, hovering my eyes around."Where's stepfather? Why am I in this place? How did I get here?" I asked, spinning around slowly to see my environment. "Dinner. We were having dinner and..." I tried to remember everything that happened last night, but nothing.All that clouded my head was a frame of me having dinner with Stepfather and..."That was all. That's the last thing I remember." I gasped, having a sudden realization."Did, did stepfather..."A click came at the door from behind. I turned around and noticed a lady wearing a wolf mask on her face, stepping into the room.She first took a glance at me, before dropping the white towel in her hands on the bed."Excuse me, please. Where am I? " I asked, feeling nervous to approach her. She said nothing to me but left the room at once, locking me i

Why this special treatment towards me?"Feeling okay, Elara?" Beta Boris asked me from behind.I didn't even know that he was present. He left the dining room after bringing me in. Didn't know when he returned. I hope he didn't see me eating because that'll be embarrassing."Yes, thank you, " I appreciated, facing Boris.He hummed at me and said, "Feel free to explore the mansion, my lady. As Luna said, if you need anything, just let us know.""I'll keep that in mind, " I said, carefully rising to my feet.

    ~ Rayel’s POV I realized it had been a long time since I had seen Elara in the palace, and I missed her so much. While walking to the main hall for the morning assembly, I looked around to see if she was somewhere in the palace, most likely working or taking a stroll. I was heartbroken when I didn't see her, but I went on to attend the morning assembly. My thoughts were on her, and I was unable to concentrate on the meeting. I was relieved when the meeting ended, and I quickly walked out of the hall to my room. I was about to change clothes and go to her room to check on her, but Hazel entered my room. She approached me with a smile, and I returned her smile, but I was so hurt that I couldn't see Elara at the time. “Hello, my Luna,” I greeted Hazel with a hug and a forehead kiss. “How are you doing today?” I asked her. She replied to me that she was fine and then told me that she came to check up on me and to see if I had my breakfast yet. Hearing her talking about food made me re

    ~ Rayel’s POV I and Hazel stared at each other looking so confused about Elara’s whereabouts. We both paced around the room racking our brains on where she could be. One of the guards then came in to inform me that they were still unable to find Elara. “Take other guards and search outside the palace. Search the entire pack and bring Elara back home!” I yelled out. He scrambled out of the room and I watched him leave, my fists clenched in anxiety. I covered my mouth with one of my fists as I let out a small, yet heavy breath filled with fear and disturbance. I avoided looking at Hazel as I paced because I was scared and worried that she would see the emotions in my eyes. I risked a glance at her and saw that she also had an expression of worry on her face. One hand was placed on her flat belly and I felt a wave of guilt wash over me. Hazel had been nothing but kind and nice to Elara m, despite the fact that I had had to sleep with her for a child to call ours. And even after the nigh

    ~ Elara’s POVThe trek with Rufus towards my father's supposed location had been arduous. Days blurred into nights, the dense canopy offering scant sunlight. Rufus remained by my side, my keen senses constantly on alert. Finally, after what felt like an eternity, the trees thinned, revealing a desolate mountain range.A shiver ran down my spine as I spotted a dark, gaping maw nestled at the base of the highest peak. It couldn't be. The cave. The one from my connection with my father.Fear warred with desperation. Taking a deep breath, I linked with my father once more. This time, raw, agonizing screams reached me.“ My father, It was him,” I told Rufus.Heart pounding a frantic tattoo against my ribs, I scrambled down the rocky slope, Rufus hot on my heels. The stench of damp earth and something metallic filled the air as we reached the cave entrance. A low growl rumbled from within, sending shivers down my spine.Ignoring the fear, I pushed past the ragged curtain concealing the entra

    ~ Rayel’s POV"What?!" The scream ripped from my throat, a guttural roar of fury. Ignoring the guards and the stunned look on Hazel's face, I lunged at Dolph. He may have been chained, but that wouldn't stop me. My fist connected with his jaw again, a satisfying blow that carried the weight of my wrath."How dare you!" My voice was a low growl, laced with a dangerous edge. "They're not pawns in your twisted games! You lay a single finger on them, and you'll regret the day you were born!""Rayel!" Hazel cried, her voice thick with hurt and betrayal. Clearly, the sight of me attacking her lover had shaken her.But before I could even process her reaction, she did something that sent a fresh wave of shock through me. Hazel, the woman I thought I knew, knelt beside the now-wincing Dolph and began to help him up. Her touch, gentle and concerned, was a stark contrast to the coldness she had shown me earlier. "Is Elara still alive?" Her voice, laced with a desperate urgency, was directed at

The anger might still simmer beneath the surface, but it was overshadowed by a fierce longing for Elara and my son. I wouldn't give up. I would find Elara and my son, no matter what it took.Just then, the door creaked open. It was Boris. Relief washed over me, maybe he had news about the retrieval team."Your Majesty," he announced, his voice a welcome sound in the tense silence. "I've done as you ordered. The guards are heading towards Alpha Dolph’s pack as we speak."I nodded curtly, a flicker of appreciation for his swiftness. But before Boris could launch into whatever he was about to say, I cut him off. Hazel's name was a raw nerve, and I couldn't bear to hear it right now. "Don't mention her," I rasped, my voice tight. "Just find Elara's stepfather. I need to talk to him."Boris's brow furrowed in confusion. "Elara's stepfather? What about him?" It was clear he didn't understand my plan, but

    ~ Rayel’s POVMy heart shattered into a million pieces. Years of love, devotion, poured down the drain. The woman I thought I knew, the woman I had built a future with was a stranger. The truth, a bitter pill coated in sugar, sat heavy in my gut."You... love someone else and have never loved me?" My voice barely rose above a whisper, the words scraping against my raw throat.Hazel scoffed, a sound that sent shivers down my spine. "Loved? Please, Rayel. It was never love. It was convenient. A way to pass the time." The coldness in her voice sent a fresh wave of nausea crashing over me."And now you want out?" I managed, the question laced with a desperate hope that maybe, just maybe, this was all a twisted joke.Hazel's smile returned, but this time it was devoid of warmth, a predatory glint flashing in her eyes. "Exactly. And wouldn't it be a grand gesture of your love to let me go quietly? A final act of selflessness before I return to the arms of someone who actually deserves me."

    ~ Rayel’s POV I was speechless, staring at Hazel. She wasn't making things easier. Hazel got up and walked closer to me, clearly frustrated."You're being such a jerk, Rayel! Why are you acting so mad? I told you I was pregnant, and you believed it even though you knew I can't have kids. Why are you getting mad at me now?” Hazel demanded, her voice laced with anger.Frustration bubbled over. "Seriously, Hazel? You can't even apologize?" I exclaimed.Hazel scoffed. "Why would I? I bent over backwards for you, remember? You should be thanking me, not throwing a tantrum."Her lack of regret made my blood boil. "That's unbelievable, Hazel! You don't get to play innocent here. Taking responsibility is grown-up stuff, and you're failing miserably! I hate it when people don’t take responsibility for their actions!” I said. The air hung heavy with accusation after Hazel's scoff. "Take responsibility for my actions!" she spat, her words dripping with misplaced blame. I managed a smile, thin

As soon as she saw me, her eyes widened and she immediately dropped to her knees."Who are you?!" I demanded, my voice firm but not angry.Her voice trembled as she stammered, "Y-Your Majesty... I'm..." Sweat beaded on her forehead despite the cool air.She took a shaky breath, finally calming down a bit. "My name is Ares," she revealed in a small voice."Ares," I repeated, trying to place the name. It didn't ring a bell. My gaze swept across the room again, taking in the changes. Gone was the bare and dusty space I remembered. Now, comfortable furniture filled the space, along with a surprising amount of good food stocked in a nearby cupboard. My eyebrows furrowed. "And why are you here, Ares?!”My tone was accusatory and it was clear I wanted answers.“Ares! Who exactly are you and what are you doing here?!” I asked again.“Luna Hazel… can explain… that,” she stammered.“Wh

    ~ Rayel’s POV A memory surfaced. My father had once mentioned a room that belonged to his grandfather. They hadn't gotten along, and after my grandfather's passing, my father had ordered the room sealed and untouched. This, I realized, was the very same room.The room's pristine condition was a stark contrast to the dust and neglect I had expected. Curiosity gnawed at me. I crept closer, reaching out to push on the doorknob. It wouldn't budge, it was locked. But from the inside!Confused, I rapped on the door. "Hello? Is anyone there?"A woman's voice, laced with surprise, echoed back. "Who is it? Are you Luna Hazel?"I heard her footsteps approaching the door, but it remained firmly shut. When I didn't answer, the footsteps stopped.Something wasn't right. I pushed against the door with all my strength. It creaked open a sliver, revealing a glimpse of a cluttered room and... a woman.The sight that greeted me was a shock. A heavily pregnant woman stood there, her eyes wide with alar
