**Cassandra’s POV**

Chains clanked as I adjusted, the cold metal biting into my wrists. The dungeon's darkness pressed down on me like a suffocating weight, but even in this despair, I held onto a sliver of hope—Reed would come for me. Each footstep down the corridor made my heart race, anticipation gripping my soul, but they had always led to disappointment. The resolve in me was slowly eroding.

Suddenly, a different sound echoed through the stone chamber—footsteps I couldn't mistake. My heart lifted briefly, but it sank just as quickly when I saw the familiar figure before me. It wasn’t Reed. It was my mother.

"Mum?" My voice cracked with the strain of days of disuse.

"Cassandra," she breathed, rushing to my side. Her appearance stunned me. It hadn't been long since I last saw her, but she looked like she had aged years in mere days. Her usually bright eyes were clouded with worry and exhaustion. I hated that I was the one coursing all of her pain, and for the first time, I wished t

    Cassandra’s povI took a deep breath, steeling myself for what I had to say. I knew this was my last chance, and if Alexander didn't hear me out or believe me, I would never get another. "Alexander," I began, my voice wavering slightly, "I know I've made terrible mistakes. But my parents... they love me, and I've hurt them enough. I need to make things right."His eyes flickered with a mix of scepticism and something else—maybe a sliver of curiosity. "And why should that matter to me?"I swallowed hard, choosing my words carefully. "Because I have information that could help you. If you promise to show some leniency during my trial, I’ll tell you everything."Alexander's lips curled into a mocking smile. "I don’t make deals with people like you."I took a deep breath, knowing that everything hinged on what I was about to say. "Alexander, I understand your mistrust. I've done terrible things, but there are things you don’t know. Reed," I paused, trying to gather my courage, "Reed is my

    **Alexander's POV**I stood there in sheer disbelief, ice gripping my heart as I watched Cassandra convulse on the ground, blood pouring from her nose, mouth, and ears. Her screams of agony cut through the silence, echoing in my ears with a haunting resonance."Guards!" I bellowed, my voice cracking with urgency. "Get the healer! Now!"Cassandra’s body arched with another spasm, her face contorted with unimaginable pain. The room seemed to spin, darkening as I tried to make sense of her sudden collapse. My thoughts hammered relentlessly, circling back to our last conversation.She had just been telling me that Reed was her mate, and then this—I couldn't help but feel a mix of anger and helplessness bubble inside me. The name "Reed" reverberated through my mind, tinged with bitter loathing. What had he done to her?In the distance, swift footsteps heralded Olivia's arrival. She burst into the room, her eyes landing on Cassandra with horror. "Alexander, what happened?" she asked, her vo

    **Olivia’s POV**Catherine clung to me as if holding on to the last fragment of hope she had. She was shaking, her tears soaking through my shirt. I held her tighter, my heart breaking for her. No one should ever have to feel the pain she was experiencing, the unbearable sorrow of losing a child, regardless of the mistakes they made.“Olivia,” Catherine sobbed, her voice barely a whisper. “Why did this happen? How could she die like this?”I had no answers. All I could do was give her the comfort of my presence. “I’m so sorry, Catherine. We’ll find out what happened, I promise.”The healer waved for the guards to help him take Cassandra’s body away. They handled her with great care as if hoping it would ease the pain of Catherine watching her daughter’s lifeless form being taken from her. The healer mentioned he needed to examine the body to understand what caused such a sudden, violent death. It was the least we could do for Catherine to ensure that Cassandra’s death was not in vain.

    **Alexander’s POV**The morning of the trial arrived, and it felt like the weight of the entire world pressed down on my shoulders. I hadn't slept at all last night. Cassandra's death kept replaying in my mind, the look of fear and pain on her lifeless face haunting my every thought. Despite the restless night, I knew I had to push through. Today, Rebecca's trial would come to an end, and I needed to focus.Walking into the grand hall, I was greeted by the solemn faces of pack members. Rebecca’s father stood at the front, waiting with a few others. I took my seat, feeling the tension in the air grow as Rebecca was brought into the room, her wrists bound with chains.Her father stepped forward, a desperate edge to his voice. “Alpha Alexander, my daughter is not guilty of killing Cassandra. She has been through enough. Please, show her mercy.”I glanced between Rebecca and her father, the weight of my responsibilities crashing down on me. “Rebecca had every intention of killing Cassandr

    **Olivia's POV**I stood there in shock, Alexander’s words echoing in my mind. "Luna Queen." He hadn’t discussed this with me beforehand; the announcement had taken me completely by surprise. I looked down at Liam and Sarah, who were beaming with joy. Their father’s announcement had evidently filled them with pride and happiness.Alexander, sensing the mix of emotions radiating from me, gently excused us and began leading the way back into the palace. With each step, the crowd's buzz slowly faded into a distant hum, swallowed by the palace walls.Once inside, the grandeur and quiet of the palace offered a contrast to the frenzy outside. I turned to Alexander, my brows furrowed in both confusion and concern. “Alexander, you didn’t have to do that,” I admonished, my voice gentle but firm.Alexander turned to me, his eyes softening as they met mine. “Yes, I did, Olivia,” he said tenderly, taking my hands in his. “You’ve been my strength and the heart of this pack, even when you didn’t ho

    **Reed’s POV**The harsh smell of decay lingered around the palace grounds where Derek’s old relics were being sorted. The Moonclaw Pack members were adjusting to my rule, but today, the air held an unusual tension. I could feel it coiling around my mind like a snake ready to strike; today, Alexander made his choice on Cassandra's fate. My attention was jarred back to the present by the sound of hurried footsteps echoing off the cold stone floors.“Alpha Reed!” A guard’s voice interrupted my thoughts.I looked up, my eyes narrowing as the guard approached. "What is it?"He hesitated, clearly uncomfortable. "A wolf from Alexander’s pack has a message for you. He insists on delivering it personally."My interest was piqued, and I nodded. "Bring him in."Moments later, Kane, a rugged-looking wolf from Alexander kingdom I had paid to be my loyal spy, entered, his eyes wary but determined. He bowed slightly before speaking. "Alpha Reed, Alexander has sentenced Rebecca to ten years of worki

    **Olivia's POV**The early morning sun had just begun to paint the sky with hues of fiery orange and gentle pink. I felt its warmth on my face as I made my way to the training grounds, the dew-soaked grass brushing against my ankles. Today felt different, almost electric. The air was charged with magic, and I could feel it pulsing through me, urging me forward.I raised my hands, willing light waves to form around me. Warm, white energy gathered and swirled, creating a dazzling display that lit up the dimly lit training grounds. It was peaceful, almost otherworldly—my own private sanctuary before the pack awoke.As I revelled in the beautiful dance of light, out of the corner of my eye, I noticed a group of people walking toward me. Instinctively, I assumed it was Alexander and a few of the warriors. But as they got closer, I recognised the familiar figures of Victor and Allen. My heart skipped a beat with excitement; I had missed them dearly.I quickly drew the light back into myself

    **Olivia's POV**As the day wound down, I braced myself for the moment I’d been looking forward to—snuggling into bed beside Alexander. Today had been a rush of emotions, a mixture of excitement and nerves as I pushed my limits during training with Victor and Allen. Their presence revitalised me and granted me a sense of belonging and strength that hadn’t faltered since they’d arrived.The room was dimly lit, and a soft, golden glow splashed shadows across the walls. As I slipped under the comforting warmth of the blankets, I sighed contentedly, leaning into the solid comfort of Alexander's presence.“Thank you for bringing Victor and Allen here,” I murmured, looking up at him, gratitude clear in my eyes.Alexander turned slightly, the corner of his mouth lifting into a teasing smirk. “That wasn’t me, you know. It was Victor’s idea. He missed you and wanted to see how your training is progressing.”His words filled me with warmth, my heart swelling with appreciation for Victor’s thoug

    Alexanders povThe world around me was a blur when I woke up, my body heavy and head throbbing with a pain that seemed to reverberate through my entire being. Darkness curled at the edges of my vision, but through the haze, I realised I was in a small, unfamiliar room. Panic surged through me, and I bolted upright, immediately regretting the swift motion as dizziness threatened to pull me back under."where am I?" I croaked out, my voice raw from disuse. I glanced around, taking in the clinical white walls and the beeping monitors next to my bed. Fluorescent lights buzzed overhead, casting a cold, harsh light on the room.A figure moved in the corner of the room, drawing my attention. It was a woman in a nurse's uniform, her face lined with concern as she stepped closer, making soothing motions with her hands."Easy now, Alexander," she said, her voice steady and calm. "You've been through a lot. You need to rest.""Rest?" I echoed, incredulous. "How long... how long have I been here?

    Back in my dimly lit room, I closed the wall softly behind me, the faint sound of the lock clicking into place echoing in the silence. The heavy atmosphere pressed down on me, and worry ate away at my insides as I paced the room. My heart ached, an incessant thud against my ribs that matched the urgency in my footsteps.Time seemed to stretch endlessly, each minute feeling like an eternity. I paced the small confines of my room, every clink and clatter from outside jarring my already frayed nerves. Aura, usually a voice of calm within my mind, was eerily silent.Then, the unexpected sound of my door creaking open splintered the silence. I turned abruptly, my breath catching in my throat. Nicholas stood in the doorway, his cold gaze piercing through me. And behind him—Sarah. Relief washed over me, and I rushed toward her without a second thought."Sarah!" I cried, reaching out, but before I could touch her, a guard stepped in my path, blocking me. His arm was like a steel barrier, unyi

    King Nicholas signalled to his guards, and two burly men clad in armour stepped forward. "Take her to her quarters," Nicholas commanded, his voice void of any sympathy.I felt their iron grips clamp down on my arms as they started to drag me away. "You’re making a mistake," I hissed, but Nicholas merely smirked."Do as you are told, Olivia, and perhaps your daughter will remain safe," he said as the door closed behind me. The guards led me through dimly lit halls until we reached a room. They shoved me inside and locked the door with a resounding click."Stay put," one of them jeered from the other side of the door.The room smelled musty, centuries of neglect evident in the crumbling walls. My eyes scanned every corner, searching for any means of escape. The only window was barred, and the door was solid oak, reinforced with metal. Desperation clawed at my chest.A familiar voice echoed in my mind. "We can't lose hope. We need to find a way to get to Sarah," Aurora, my wolf, whispere

    A chill swept through me, making my skin prickle under his gaze. I squared my shoulders, summoning every ounce of courage I had left. "Where is my daughter?" I demanded, my voice steady despite the fear coiling in my chest.King Nicholas took a step closer, his eyes narrowing with cruel delight. "Sarah is safe," he said, his tone dripping with arrogance. "For now."The room seemed to close in around me, my pulse pounding loudly in my ears. "What do you want with her? With us?"Nicholas laughed, a harsh, grating sound that echoed off the stone walls. "Your family has always been a thorn in my side, Olivia. Always meddling, always defying. But now, with you and the girl in my grasp, I can finally secure my power once and for all. And have what was promised to me."I clenched my fists at my sides, my nails digging into my palms. "She’s just a child," I said through gritted teeth. "She has nothing to do with this.""Ah, but you see, that’s where you’re wrong," he said, amusement dancing i

    Olivia's povPain echoed through my skull as I slowly regained consciousness. The pounding in my head was merciless, making it difficult to focus on my surroundings. Gritting my teeth, I forced my eyes open, only to see a blur of shapes and colours. I blinked furiously, willing my vision to clear, and gradually, the world began to come into focus.Where am I? I thought, panic surging through me as I tried to piece together the fragmented memories of our capture.I struggled to move, my limbs feeling like lead. As I sat up, the cold, hard floor beneath me sent shivers up my spine. My heart raced, each beat amplifying the throbbing in my head. I rubbed my temples and took a slow, deep breath to steady myself."Olivia?" a voice called out, breaking through the haze.I turned my head towards the sound and saw a figure approaching: a woman with flowing silver hair and striking grey eyes. It took me a moment, but recognition lit up in her eyes. It was the woman from the snow forest. “ You'

    Alexander's POV"Gather the men!" Victor's voice broke through the thick fog of my despair. I turned, my heart stuttering as I saw him staggering toward me, bloodied and bruised but alive. His eyes, however, held a resolute fire. "We still have a chance," he said, his face contorting in pain as he clutched his side."Where's Liam?" I asked, a new wave of panic clawing at my chest. I scanned the destroyed garden, my vision blurred, but I found no sign of my son.Victor limped closer, placing a reassuring hand on my shoulder. "He's safe," Victor said between laboured breaths. "Lidia and Ethan took him towards the woods to keep him safe."The tight knot in my chest loosened slightly, but the pain and guilt from losing Olivia and Sarah still eating at me. "We have to go after them," I said, the desperation in my voice clear. "The dragons... they took Olivia and Sarah. I can't—""I know," Victor interrupted, his voice firm yet understanding. "But we need to be smart about this. Charging in

    Alexanders povI watched in utter helplessness as Sarah's uncontrollable fire drew the attention of the merciless riders. A deep roar of frustration bubbled up inside me, but my voice felt like a whisper. My fists clenched at my sides, trembling with the sheer force of my fury. I willed myself to calm down, knowing the last thing I needed was to let my rage cloud my judgment."Grab the child!" the leader bellowed, his gaze shifting to Sarah.Within moments, two of his men closed in on her. "No! Leave her alone!" I screamed, but my words were swallowed by the gales whipping through the garden. I ran towards her, dodging the dragon's claws and tail as I did. Sarah's fiery breath gave way to frightened sobs as they bound her hands, her small frame no match for their force. My heart shattered at the sight, a visceral pain that overshadowed my anger."Alexander, protect them!" Olivia's voice pierced through the chaos as she was dragged away by the leader. Her desperate plea sliced through

    Olivias povJust as the officiant began to speak, a sudden gust of wind whipped through the venue, tearing petals from their delicate stems and sending them swirling into the air. My grip on Alexander's hand tightened. Everything else seemed to disappear as a dark shadow loomed overhead.All eyes turned skyward, gasps and murmurs rippling through the crowd. “Dragons!” a panicked voice screamed from the crowd.Three dragons, their scales glinting ominously in the sunlight, descended upon us. Their riders, clad in dark armour, exuded a menacing aura that sent chills down my spine."There she is!" one of them roared, pointing directly at me. Panic set in as I realised they were the figures from my dreams. My heart raced. The leader dismounted, striding towards me with purpose."No!" Alexander shouted, stepping in front of me protectively.The rider smirked, a sinister glint in their eyes. "We have no quarrel with you, Alexander.

    The day of our wedding dawned bright and clear. I couldn't help but feel a rush of excitement—and nerves—as I prepared in my room. My heart was a whirlwind of emotions, excitement mingling with the lingering of fear from my dreams, but I pushed that down. Nothing was going to wreck today.Sarah and Liam, our spirited flower children, were busily inspecting their flower baskets. Their antics brought a smile to my face and lightened the oppressive anxiety that had settled in my chest."Mummy, do you think dragons like flowers?" Sarah asked, her eyes twinkling with innocent curiosity.I knelt to her level, smoothing down her dress. "I think they love them, dear. Just like how everyone will love how beautiful you and Liam look today."Just then, the sound of hooves clattering on stone paved the way for Alexander's arrival. I peeked out the window to see his carriage framed against the backdrop of our beautiful garden. He emerged with a dignified grace, looking as handsome as ever. My hear
