-Cain- “Well, don’t you know how to stir up trouble?” I turned to see my old friend Reese standing in the doorway to the living room, where I was trying my best not to lean into the temptation of pouring myself a drink. However, the sight of him made me feel much better. He laughed when he saw the smile on my lips, and he came over. We slapped our hands together before he placed himself beside me. I stood by the window, gazing out at the light drizzle outside. “How did you know I was back?” I asked him. “You really think you could come back without me hearing about it? I mean, you always made sure people knew what you were up to. Fucking your brother’s fiancé. Wow, I knew you loved chaos, I just didn’t know you loved it that much,” he chuckled before he went and grabbed something to drink for himself at a small bar further away. “Goddess… people already know?” I groaned, rubbing my eyes. “It’s everywhere. Did you really expect this to stay a secret?” he asked. “It’s only noon,”
-Willow- My mother walked around me, going over how I looked in my ceremonial dress. It was the one I had planned to wear to mine and Carter’s ceremony, and instead I was wearing it for someone completely else. It made me feel dirty and wrong, as if I had actually cheated. I had, but as my wolf kept reminding me, Cain was also my mate, so I couldn’t forget we were also destined to be together. But did that mean I had cheated on Cain for being with Carter? It was all very confusing, and I couldn’t wait until this day was over. I believed my parents felt the same way because they had barely spoken to me since arriving, and as I got ready, had my hair and makeup done, and got in my dress, my mother gave me a look I had never seen before. She had never been disappointed in me before, but that was the only way I could interpret the look in her eyes—she was disappointed. My mother reached out and suddenly tugged on the side of the dress, pulling a little hard so it felt like I was being p
-Cain- I was faster to change. My father came to see us off while my mother had disappeared somewhere, and my brother was nowhere to be found, but I didn’t blame him. It was understandable if he had no interest in being around us at the moment. We weren't exactly his favorite people, and so it was just my dad and me. We were standing by the entrance, talking lowly with each other, while a group of fighters stood behind us. “Remember, you have people around you that you can’t trust,” I reminded him. “Yes, but they might not be the masterminds behind it all. Servants might be able to be bought,” he whispered. “Just be careful. Now we know something weird is going on. What I can’t figure out is why. Even you agreed that Carter and Willow were perfect together, so who wouldn’t agree?” I asked him. “She isn’t from a weak line.” “No, but maybe someone wanted to hurt her family. It could easily be her own enemies coming for her.” “But who?” I asked, but my father didn’t get to answer me
-Willow- I watched as my phone lit up in my hand as I sat on the couch in the middle of the room, my feet up and my arms resting on my knees. I could see Eva calling me. She had called me about a thousand times already, leaving messages as well, but I couldn’t get myself to pick up. I wanted to, but my heart felt too heavy, so I just watched it ring and ring. However, when she sent me a message about coming to see me if I didn’t pick up, I finally answered, putting it on speaker as it felt too heavy to hold up. “What the hell, Willow?” she shouted through the phone. “I call and call, and you don’t answer. What is going on?” I tried to speak, but instead tears began streaming down my face, and Eva heard the sobs leaving me. “Hey, talk to me,” she implored. “I… can’t…” “Yes, you can. Remember, always best friends,” she reminded me. “I can’t…” “Just talk to me. Tell me what is going on inside you right now.” “I don’t even know…” I whispered. “Is it true you slept with Cain?” she
-Cain- After checking the area, the rain began again, forcing me to go back into the house. I went to the master bedroom and was annoyed to see that Willow and her stuff weren’t there. As my mate, it felt wrong that she wasn’t in the same room as me, and I promised myself I would go get her in a moment, but I took a shower first, washing off the dirt before I dressed in some dark, relaxed clothes. I walked out of my bedroom, looking around to see if I could find any clues as to which room she had disappeared to. A servant came by, and I called out to her, asking her where Willow was. She pointed to the other side of the house, and I tried my best not to show how angry it made me that Willow wanted that much distance between us. I thanked the servant before I went to the room Willow had chosen. I opened the door, not even bothering to knock before, but when I opened the door, she wasn’t even inside. I looked around, confused, before I went downstairs to look for her. I would rather n
-Cain- “I admit I have had my fun,” I replied, seeing Willow roll her eyes and shake her head before she turned away from me. “And now everyone thinks I threw myself at you,” she mumbled. “We both know what happened.” “Yes, we do! Us, you and me, and our families, but what about the rest?” she asked. “Have you any idea how hard I have worked to be respected by these people?” “Why do you want their respect? They only think about themselves.” “And who do you think about except yourself? I mean, honestly, can you say that when you came into my room, you for a moment thought about what it might mean if you continued?” she asked, turning to me again and looking at me with eyebrows raised high, clearly already having made her opinion. However, I had to admit it hadn’t crossed my mind much. She was running her tongue along my skin while begging me to fuck her, and she was my mate. How could I say no? “I actually thought you were cheating on Carter,” I admitted to her, and her eyes gre
-Willow- I had gotten the impression that Cain had decided to leave for a while simply to explore the world. I thought he might be looking for more hunting grounds, but now he revealed to me that his father had kicked him out. That I hadn’t expected, and I couldn’t help but continue to look at him as we sat there together. I wasn’t sure what to even say. I knew he had asked us to change the topic, but now I was quite intrigued. I knew I shouldn’t ask, though. I could see it on his face. He didn’t want to talk more about it, and so I pressed my lips together, focusing on my empty plate in front of me instead. “Sure, we can talk about something else.” Cain nodded, satisfied, yet we both remained quiet, unable to decide what would be best to talk about. We both struggled to get any words out and simply remained silent for a good while, sitting beside each other. We were destined to be together, and yet no words wanted to leave our mouths because we knew how complicated this was. Neith
-Cain- Willow was fluffing up the pillows and truly making herself at home in the bed. It was rather fun to watch, and as I came out of the bathroom, I remained in the doorway, leaning against the doorframe as I watched her. She looked so good with her long, blond hair down now, and she had changed to an oversized t-shirt to sleep in. She was beautiful, no matter what. I couldn’t deny I had been given quite the gift. However, I understood Willow’s frustration. She was right. My reputation hadn’t been tarnished in the same way hers had. They didn’t really view me any differently than before, but sleeping in separate rooms wasn’t going to change the gossip. I believed it was going to make it worse because people would think we didn’t share any connection. Why else would she be sleeping in another room? No, this was a better arrangement, even if I had to sleep on the couch for a night, then so be it. But I wouldn’t stay there indefinitely. Being mates meant being close together, and I

Want to learn what happened with Carter and his mate Sara at the party? -Carter- My heart froze as we stared into each other’s eyes. Hers were such a deep green, and I loved them from the moment I saw them. She gave me a nervous smile, clearly trying to ignore the message our wolves were giving us in our heads, and sped off with the glass on her tray. I kept looking after her, feeling an undeniable urge to follow her. “Carter!” my brother called, and I turned my head. “Huh?” I answered. “Come on, it’s us next,” Cain told me. “Um, yeah, just say hello from me,” I replied before taking off, hearing him call after me, but I couldn’t stop now. Every nerve in my body was vibrating, telling me to go find my mate. I had seen the way she had gone, leaving the ballroom, and as I came into the hallway, it was much easier to follow her scent. I found her in the kitchen, getting more glasses for the party, and hearing the servants work. I made sure not to enter and instead crept back a litt
-Cain- I watched Weston hold one of my daughters over his head, making a funny face at her and making her laugh. It brought warmth to my heart watching it all happen, yet it was hard to shake the worry seeing my mother so close to my other daughter, whom I had reluctantly allowed her to hold. My daughters were only over a year old, but Carter had lived in this house for a good while now with his own mate, who had just given birth to a son, and it seemed to be okay. Surprisingly enough, everything was going okay, but I was never allowing my mother to be alone with my children, which I had made very clear to Willow. Yet it was hard to resist her when she told me to give it all a chance—to give my mother one. I couldn’t forgive her, but I saw now the benefits of letting her close because she was different. As I truly looked at her with my daughter, I saw she was different because she was allowed to be happy. Therefore, I knew I had to try, at least because I knew better than anyone wha
-Willow- It was rather surprising how fast everything happened, and soon the queen was confided in the palace, confided to the section where her room was, and confided to the lower floor of that section. She had to have her meals brought, but this gave her a chance to be with Weston, and I saw how grateful he was for that. He even hugged Carter so hard, who was there to see the transfer happen, but Cain refused. Weston understood that, and so did his mate, but I could see how much they wished for Cain to be more accepting of all of this as well. For now, this was how it was going to be, and Carter and I walked together through the palace, both having homes to get back to. “So, do I ever get to be properly introduced to your mate?” I teased. “I have actually convinced her to move here with me. She is just nervous because we come from two different worlds.” “I can understand that. But then maybe we should all have dinner together.” “I am not sure we can lure Cain here. He is… determ
-Willow- The news spread quickly and was as shocking to me as it was to everyone else. No one had expected the queen would go so far, and yet as the days dragged on, no one was sure how to punish the queen. The council and the princes were completely divided, and I couldn’t help but feel a bit bad. Now that I knew there was no longer any threat out there to me or my family and the mystery had been solved, I simply stopped being angry. I knew the queen should still be punished, but she wouldn’t have done what she did if she hadn’t been forced to smile and nod through the pain others had put her through. Weston had made a good point to me, 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 of my trance. She sat in front of me in a small café we had agreed to meet at so I could get out of the house. Cain and I rarely spoke at the moment, and Carter had gone to be with his mate, living with her, though I
-Cain- I was so confused by why Weston had asked to be alone with us. He even asked us to stand up, and we all met in a small circle beside the table. Carter and I looked at him with a puzzled expression, but I could sense something strange on Willow’s end, yet besides her, only Weston didn’t appear perplexed by all of this. Even our mother seemed unsure about what was going on. “Why did you send them all out?” Carter asked, speaking the question that lingered on my tongue. “Because I wanted to do this in private before…” Weston looked at Willow, and I glanced at her, but when she felt my eyes on her, she turned to give me an apologetic look. “Weston,” my mother called, and I noticed her turning slightly scared. “Okay, what is going on?” I asked, needing some answers now. “You have to admit it,” he insisted, focusing on my mother. “Admit what? Admit what, Mom?” I pressed, and both Carter and I focused on her, but she looked away, not meeting our eyes. “What the hell is going o
-Cain- “Goddess, look at your faces!” Willow exclaimed. “You’re starting to do serious damage!” As Carter and I sat down to eat, Willow came to inspect me, tilting my head to the side and taking in the cuts and the swelling. I grabbed her hands, kissed them, and then pulled her down on my lap. “We are fine,” I assured her. “We will heal,” Carter added. “Why are you hitting each other so hard?” “It’s called practice. We are keeping our skills sharp.” “But Carter can’t even open his right eye, and the cut on your lip is so swollen, I fear you can’t eat!” she scolded. “Eat the food or your—” I didn’t get to finish that sentence as she placed a hand over my mouth. “Not funny.” I pulled her hand down. “I think it was rather funny.” “What won’t the council think when they see you like that?” she murmured. “What do you mean?” She glanced between Carter and me, who looked puzzled at her. “You didn’t notice the meeting the council has called? Have you two been that distracted late
-Cain- “I don’t see the point in this,” my brother said as we stepped into the little gym we had in the house. I placed myself on the blue mat, jumping a little up and down and getting ready, yet Carter was standing at a distance, wearing sunglasses inside and a big hoodie over his training clothes that I had forced him to change into. He didn’t just look hungover, he was perfect for putting on a poster that advised people not to drink. He looked like a fucking mess. “You need it,” I told him. “Does it look like I want to workout right now?” he asked. “We are fighting and keeping our skills sharp,” I explained. “Why?” I didn’t really know what to say. What Willow had confessed to me scared the living shit out of me. Was my brother truly so depressed that he had become suicidal? Willow feared it, and we weren’t able to get Carter to react until the next day, and then we didn’t know what to say. So, I thought, after two days of leaving it alone, we needed to get him going again. Th
