Chapter Thirty Six
(WIlder POV)
These feelings are new to me. I have never felt such strong anger, hate and disgust for someone. I almost feel like I am another person trapped within the person that I once was. I search for any feelings of remorse for what I have done in the last twenty four hours but I don’t find any just emptiness. I begin my punishment of the one that was once my mate. I had let Marissa dictate her punishment as her first act as Luna. She had ordered 50 lashes at my hands then to my surprise she ordered her death at her hands. I couldn’t change it after giving her the power and I knew if she was the Lantern that it could be dangerous. I was sad to see none of my family or friends at the ceremony.
Chapter Thirty Seven (Wilder POV) I look around me and I am not in my room, the hospital or anywhere I recognize. This isn’t even the same woods I walked through years ago when I was in a coma. In fact they aren’t woods at all, it is a giant meadow and I don’t know why but I am attempting to make my way to the tree in the middle. As I approach I see Zander curled up around something. When I approach I can see it is a very small wolf, Spencer’s wolf to be exact. “Zander what's going on?” Zander lets out a growl and he turns to me taking a defensive stance. Spencer’s wolf Lilly simply lets out a whimper. The s
Chapter Thirty Eight (Unknown POV) I fucking hate it here. Hate with a capital H.A.T.E. I have held up in my room in this damn house for as long as I can but I give up and have to go down for a late night snack. God this whole house smells of mutts. I am near the kitchen where I intend to go out the back door to the woods when I hear rustling coming from the pantry. I don’t know why but I feel the urge to see what lingers in there. I tip toe on my way there, tempted to call out to whatever mutt is sneaking food so that I can have my snack in the house after all. I long to see the fear in their eyes as they knew they were caught and would be eaten alive. I silently open the door and sitting crouched
Chapter Thirty-Nine(Wilder POV) I groan out my release and hate myself at the same time. I hate what my life has become over the last few weeks. I thought being beaten and starved left in the cells being separated from my pack would be the worst but this was so much more torture. I had been moved into a room in the pack house after the bitch came down a few weeks ago to cells screeching about how Madeline was gone. She screamed about her escaping and she just knew that Spencer was behind it and that she was going to make her pay. I prayed that was true that she had been rescued and was safe with Spencer, though it hurt I had been left behind. But what could I really expect after what I did? After injecting me
Chapter Forty(Wilder’s Pov) I watch the fire flickers low as I hold the squirrel over it to cook. It has been a few weeks since we escaped and it was really only thanks to Athena I had not starved. Sticking to the woods and being unable to shift had made hunting a little difficult for me, however Athena had been willing to share her hunts with me. I was ashamed at what I had become a wolfless rogue Alpha without a pack. I look up from the fire to see Athena draining the blood from another rabbit. “You know I’m still not convinced I won’t wake up to you draining me one night.” “I make no promises.” She lets out a laugh and I just laugh because if I have learned anythin
Chapter Forty One(Spencer POV) Furious that is the only word to describe the emotions slamming through me at this time. I am furious. He really attempted to play the victim in that room surrounded by so many that had been displaced from their lands and homes by him. Some of those Alpha’s don’t even hold the title anymore all they hold is the hope to regain it and rebuild it. Ez could have easily taken advantage of the situation and took over but instead he offers them sanctuary and helps them every day in the mission to rebuild. I however walk around ashamed most of the time as my mate caused all this, I rejected him and my pack is intact. I would like nothing more than to go for a run but I
Chapter Forty Two(Spencer POV) “Do you know there is a prophecy about you even in the werewolf world though you aren’t called the Goddess’ Lantern we call you the Nights Princess?” “Prophecy?” I ask turning my body on the park bench slightly to face Athena. “The moon goddess was once in love, not mated but in love. The man was ruthless and killed for pleasure. She hated that about him and tried to end the relationship. She cursed him to be reliant on the blood of his enemies and victims for survival. Knowing if he killed everyone that he would starve to death. He didn&rsq
Chapter Forty Three(Wilder POV) As I approach the park I see my daughter, Finn and a few other pups playing in the sandbox with Athena and Spencer talking on a bench nearby. I haven’t gotten to speak with her since the hospital, it’s like she is avoiding me but I have seen her speaking with Athena several times. I think this is my time to approach her but I am halted when I feel eyes on me. I look at the sandbox and see Finn with a scowl on his face looking in my direction so I choose to approach him first. When I kneel down by the sandbox he walks up to me. “You lied. You hurt my mommy.” &ldquo
Chapter Forty Four(Spencer POV) It has been a few weeks since Wilder and I had the talk in the woods and I tried to motivate him and I wish I could say that it worked but nope. It is irritating to see the Alpha that was once so confident it borderlined on arrogance reduced to someone that has zero confidence, always seeking approval and acceptance. He still even pulls away from his own sister when she tries to hug him. I have watched him during training. He is getting stronger and faster but something just seems off. “Why do you look so pissed off Spence?” “Wilder.” “What did my stupid brother do now?” “Nothing.” “I’m going to kill him.” “No Livie he really hasn’t done anything. It is just annoying seeing him acting the way he does it's frustrating he is supposed to be her Alpha after all.”“What does being her Alpha mean Spence?”“I don’t know. We all know the prophecy. He will unite her people. He is blessed.”“If you don’t know why should he? Blessed? He is just trying to
