-Cain-I tapped my foot against the smooth white floor as my family’s pack doctor, Paxton, conducted tests on the powder. I watched the machine whir to life while he typed away at his computer. He was a genius, and I knew he was the right person for the job.“Where did you say you got this?” he asked, glancing up.“My mate…” I whispered.“What?” he interjected, turning his full attention to me.“Her mother gave it to her, claiming it could somehow ensure she and I have a boy,” I explained.“And she really wants a boy?”“My mate or her mother?” I shot back.“Your mate,” he clarified.I shrugged. “I don’t think it’s that important to her, but her mother and everyone else are pressuring her to believe it is.”“I see.” He nodded, clearly understanding the pressures of our world. After all, he had been looking after this pack for years.“I just can’t believe she would ingest it without knowing what it is,” I groaned, covering my face with my hands.“How long has she been taking it?”“I thin
-Cain-I stepped into the completely dark bedroom, uncertain if Willow had opted to sleep in another room. Yet as I entered, I spotted her curled up on the bed, the sheets pulled up to her chin. The darkness was thick enough to deceive me, but the way the lump shifted slightly confirmed that Willow was there.I quietly closed the door and walked over to the nightstand on my side of the bed. Turning on the lamp, I watched as she curled in tighter, as if trying to shield herself from me. It pained me to see her so withdrawn, and I felt helpless, unsure how to address the situation.After standing beside the bed for a few moments, I grabbed the pillow from my side and made my way to the couch. I believed it would be best for both of us to have some space tonight. Setting the pillow down, I headed to the bathroom to get ready. When I emerged, Willow hadn’t moved. She remained in the same spot, but the light had been turned off.I lay down on the couch, positioning myself so I could still s
-Cain-I watched as Willow walked into our bedroom and slipped beneath the covers, hiding from the world. I sighed, hoping I had made her feel better, but it was clear that this would take more time. I approached the lump on the bed and sat down, reaching out to touch what I believed was her hip, gently stroking it.“I thought we had cleared everything up. You’re not a bad mother, Willow,” I said softly.“We did clear everything up,” she confirmed, but her voice was low and devoid of feeling.“Then why are you hiding?”“Because it’s better under here.”Her words worried me. So I slipped off my jacket and shirt before crawling under the covers to find her. I pulled her close, and we both sighed in relief as our bodies pressed together.“It’s not better under here,” I told her. “It’s nice, but not better.”“I like it here,” she whispered.“No, you’re spiraling into a dark hole, and I can’t watch my mate suffer like this.”“What do you mean?” she inquired.“Willow, you’re sad. You’re gett
-Cain-I waited for Willow to get ready for dinner, but she was taking quite some time. I glanced at my phone, scrolling through the many posts about the upcoming event and all the guests who would be attending. It was set to be a grand affair, as it always was. Yet now I had to show everyone why I was a good choice for king. It felt strange to be fighting for this position when I had never cared about it before.All thanks to our mate, my wolf chimed in happily.“Yeah, she is pretty wonderful,” I whispered in agreement.“Cain?” I heard her call from the bedroom.“Need something?”“I can’t zip my dress,” she complained, which made me smile. “I wanted to do it myself to surprise you, but I can’t get it all the way up.”I put away my phone and walked into the closet, only to freeze at the sight of Willow. My mind struggled to comprehend her beauty. She was wearing a shiny silver dress with an open back and thin straps that crisscrossed over her smooth skin. The front had a slight plunge
-Willow-The dinner went relatively smoothly—or as smoothly as it could. Yet once dessert arrived, I felt Cain’s hand resting dangerously high on my thigh. My dress was long enough to keep him from slipping his hand beneath it, but the promise of his touch sent warmth through my body. He was getting impatient to have me again, and it warmed my body knowing that.“Cain, dessert!” I reminded him when he seemed more interested in staring at me than tasting the delicious ice cream and red velvet cake before us.He leaned closer as I scooped up some ice cream. I turned to him, confused.“What?” I asked.“Feed me,” he said, his eyes full of heat.“Cain, are you serious? You have your own,” I chuckled.“I think we should share.”I shook my head, but it was impossible to say no to him. Holding the spoon out, he took it into his mouth, pulling me closer for a kiss, the sweetness of the food mingling between us. I couldn’t help but react, my breathing becoming more ragged.“Before the hunt start
-Cain-I would have loved to just fuck Willow until morning, but I longed to return to the privacy of our home. I wanted to have her completely spread out, naked, sweaty, and panting, without the fear of anyone witnessing her in that exquisite state.Yet before we could leave, Willow wanted to clean up, so I positioned myself at the top of the staircase, waiting for her to find me. A few mates were still chasing each other or walking past with smiles on their faces as they headed home. I hadn’t expected to enjoy the night, but I was completely wrong. I had loved every moment.“Prince Cain,” someone called out. I turned my head to see Willow’s father coming up the stairs, another council member trailing behind him. He wore a smile as he approached.“Alpha Felix,” I acknowledged with a nod.“Waiting for someone?” he teased.“Just Willow. We’re heading back now.”He nodded, regarding me with a look of approval. “I feared what she might do with you. You must understand that while we know w
-Cain-“You have gone too far!” my father yelled, throwing the glass in his hand across the room, where it shattered against the wall behind me. I was still trying to recover from last night. My head felt like it was twice its normal size, throbbing painfully. I could barely focus on my father’s anger. “Do you hear me?” he yelled, slamming his hands on the table.“Um…” I sat up, startled by the sound. I pushed my sunglasses lower and met his eyes. “I hear you.”“No, you fucking don’t! As always, you don’t hear me! You don’t give a shit about anyone but yourself, Cain. How can you care so little?”“I care!” I exclaimed, but then I started laughing, knowing we both understood it wasn’t true.“You’re a fucking mess. I don’t see how you can be part of this family when you don’t even care about that.”“That’s not true!” I insisted.“But it is. You can’t be here if you’re going to ruin us all.”Confused, I glanced at my mother behind him, but she looked away. I noticed a twitch in her face,
-Willow-After Cain returned, I made him something to eat, but the next morning, I couldn’t wake him. He was completely exhausted, and I stood in the doorway, holding a cup of hot tea, watching him. He wasn’t sleeping soundly. He was mumbling in his sleep and twitching a little, but I couldn’t rouse him from whatever was haunting his dreams.“Luna?” I turned to see Henry approaching me. He peered into the room, watching Cain as well.“I heard he came back. How is he?” he asked.“Not good,” I admitted, taking a sip of my tea.“Can we do something?”I shook my head. “I don’t think so. I can’t wake him right now, which tells me his body is completely worn out. Henry, he didn’t even realize how long he had been gone.”Henry’s eyes widened as I revealed what Cain had told me the previous night.“He didn’t know he had been gone for three days?” he inquired.“No, he didn’t,” I replied.“Should I call Paxton and see if he can come by?”“We need our own pack doctor,” I replied.“But for now?”“

-Carter-My heart froze as we locked eyes. Hers were a deep green, and I loved them from the moment I saw them. She offered me a nervous smile, clearly trying to ignore the messages our wolves were sending us, before she hurried off with the glasses on her tray. An undeniable urge to follow her coursed through me.“Carter!” my brother called, pulling me from my thoughts. I turned to him.“Huh?”“Come on, it’s our turn,” Cain told me.“Um, yeah, just say hello from me,” I replied, taking off in the opposite direction. I heard him call after me, but I couldn’t stop now.Every nerve in my body was vibrating, urging me to find my mate. I had seen the way she left the ballroom, and as I entered the hallway, it was much easier to follow her scent out here. I found her in the kitchen, gathering more glasses for the party amidst the sounds of the bustling staff. I made sure not to enter immediately, instead retreating a little to find a room where I could intercept her. I waited until she pass
-Cain-I watched as Weston held one of my daughters overhead, pulling a funny face that made her giggle. The sight filled my heart with warmth, yet I couldn’t shake the worry that gnawed at me as I glanced over at my mother, who was holding my other daughter—something I had reluctantly allowed.My daughters were only a year old, but Carter had lived in this house for quite some time with his own mate, who had just given birth to a son, and it seemed to be going well. Surprisingly, everything was functioning smoothly, but I had made it clear to Willow that I would never allow my mother to be alone with my children. Still, it was hard to resist my mate’s pleas to give my mother a chance.I couldn’t forgive her, but I noticed the change in her demeanor when she was with my daughter. She seemed genuinely different—happier.“Hey,” Willow said, coming up behind me and wrapping her arms around me.I turned slightly so I could wrap my arm around her in return, resting my hand over her flat sto
-Willow-It was surprising how quickly everything unfolded. Soon, the queen was confined to the palace, limited to her room and the lower floor of that section. She had her meals brought to her, but this arrangement allowed her to spend time with Weston, and I could see how grateful he was for that. He even hugged Carter tightly when he came to witness the transfer, but Cain didn’t even appear.I knew Weston and his mate understood, but I could sense their longing for Cain to be more accepting of the situation. For now, this was how things would be, and as Carter and I walked together through the palace, we both had homes to return to.“So, do I ever get to be properly introduced to your mate?” I teased.“I’ve actually convinced her to move here with me. She’s just nervous because we come from two different worlds,” he explained.“I can understand that. Maybe we should all have dinner together.”“I’m not sure we can lure Cain here. He’s… determined,” Carter groaned.I sighed. “You’re p
-Willow-The news spread quickly, shocking me as much as everyone else. No one had expected the queen to go so far, yet as the days dragged on, the council remained divided on how to punish her. I couldn’t help but feel a twinge of sympathy. The queen deserved punishment, but I realized she wouldn’t have acted as she did if she hadn’t been forced to smile and nod through the pain inflicted on her by others. Weston had made a good point: I could have been the queen. I could have become just as desperate…“It’s really unbelievable she did it,” Eva said, breaking me free from my thoughts.She sat across from me in a small café we had agreed to meet at so I could escape the confines of home.“Yeah…”“Why do you sound that way?” she asked, her brow furrowing with concern.“I just… feel like this has become a bigger mess than it should be,” I admitted.“What do you mean? She killed the king and poisoned you! I thought you’d be the first one shouting for her head,” Eva joked.I managed a smal
-Cain-I was utterly confused about why Weston had asked to be alone with us. He even requested that we stand up, and we formed a small circle beside the table. Carter and I exchanged puzzled glances, but I sensed something unsettling from Willow. Even our mother seemed unsure about what was happening. Only Weston appeared unfazed by the situation.“Why did you send them all out?” Carter inquired, voicing the question lingering on my tongue.“Because I wanted to do this in private before…” Weston glanced at Willow, and I followed his gaze. When she felt my eyes on her, she turned to give me an apologetic look.“Weston,” my mother called, her voice tinged with fear.“Okay, what is going on?” I pressed.“You have to admit it,” he insisted, focusing on my mother.“Admit what? What, Mom?” I urged, and both Carter and I focused on her, but she looked away, refusing to meet our eyes.“What the hell is going on?” Carter demanded, turning to Weston.“It was your mother who poisoned Willow,” We
-Cain-“Goddess, look at your faces!” Willow exclaimed. “You’re starting to do some serious damage!”As Carter and I sat down to eat, Willow approached to inspect me, tilting my head to the side to examine the cuts and swelling. I grabbed her hands, kissed them, and pulled her down onto my lap.“We’re fine,” I assured her.“We will heal,” Carter added.“Why are you hitting each other so hard?”“It’s called practice. We’re keeping our skills sharp,” I explained.“But Carter can’t even open his right eye, and the cut on your lip is so swollen that I’m afraid you won’t be able to eat!” she scolded.“Eat the food or your—” I started, but she cut me off by placing a hand over my mouth.“Not funny.”I pulled her hand down. “I think it was rather funny.”“What will the council think when they see you like this?” she murmured.“What do you mean?”She glanced between Carter and me, both of us clearly feeling puzzled.“You didn’t notice the meeting the council has called? Have you two been that
-Cain-“I don’t see the point in this,” my brother said as we stepped into the small gym in our house. I positioned myself on the blue mat, bouncing slightly to get ready, while Carter stood at a distance, wearing sunglasses indoors and a big hoodie over the training clothes I had insisted he change into. He didn’t just look hungover. He looked like a poster boy for the dangers of drinking. He was a complete mess.“You need it,” I told him.“Does it look like I want to work out right now?” he replied.“We’re fighting to keep our skills sharp,” I explained.“Why?”I hesitated, unsure of how to articulate the fear that had been gnawing at me. What Willow had confessed scared the living daylights out of me.“It helps,” I insisted.“It helps to fight with a pounding headache?” he shot back.“Well, that’s on you. You could quit drinking.”He groaned and pulled out a mini flask from his pocket. I sighed and walked over to him, snatching the vodka from his grasp.“Really?” I asked, holding it
