ANNE'S POV

Once Celyn was done talking to Lydia, all three of us headed down to the living room to wait for the brothers again.

While we waited, Nicole got impatient and went off to find them herself.

I was left all alone with Celyn and I sized her up and down from the corner of my eye and got a feeling that she was also doing the same.

"So Anne, how long have you been here?" she asked suddenly, interrupting the silence in the room and I looked up at her.

"It's been a long while." I replied and kept shut after.

After a few seconds of silence, I spoke up again, "Nicole is really enamoured with you."

She smiled softly at my statement, " Yes she is and I absolutely adore her too." She said.

"She has been my best friend ever since we were kids and no one can replace her importance in my life or mine in her life." She added and although I tried not to see it as such, her words still felt like snide remarks.

I grabbed my phone and started scrolling across the entertainment news, refusing to

    ANNE'S POV"Cadel calm down." I called out to him as he paced furiously around my room."How are you so calm? She could have hurt you." He said."Yes I know but she didn't so just let it go." I muttered softly.He had been like this ever since he brought me into my room."Don't tell me to let it go. I've had enough of her." He said."If it weren't because of my relationship with her brother and Nicole, I would have had her thrown out the minute she tried to deliberately splash that coffee on you." He spat out angrily again."You noticed that too?" I asked in surprise.I didn't think anyone except me saw past the perfect facade Celyn had been putting on."Yes, it's hard not to notice and I'm not as gullible as the rest of my siblings, her petty tricks don't work on me." He explained."Why didn't you tell me?" He asked, turning to look at me with a deadpan look on his face."Sorry, I didn't want to ruin Nic's excitement and everyone else seems to like her so I didn't think they would be

I answered and Nicole walked in.There was something in her arms and she walked in and laid it on my bed.It was a pink box decorated all over with paintings of a yellow daffodil.She knelt down next to my bed and untied the straps, swung open the lids and brought out a dress and draped it on my bed.I realized it was a dress, precisely the dress she had said she would bring up for me to wear for the party tonight."Its beautiful." I exclaimed in delight."Try it on." She urged and I picked up the gown and put it on.It was a royal blue silk dress with a slightly plunging neckline.The skirt spread out into ruffled tiers and the waist was embellished with diamond stones that seemed to accentuate my waist even more.It was a little offthe shoulder and showed off my collarbones exquisitely.The outfit was a bi

He asked immediately he entered."Upstairs in her bedroom, we had to detain her there." Carson answered.Stephen heaved a sigh and palmed his face, then he turned to Cadel."This is all my fault, I should not have let her come back. You know, I knew she had romantic feelings for you and I kind of egged her on until I found out you had a mate already. That was why I wanted her to come back so I could find a good match for her and marry her off but I ruled out the posssibility that she would do something like this. I should not have agreed when Nicole wanted her over either. This is all my fault." Ste

    CAMERON’S POVI shot out my hand just in time to catch Cadel’s arm as he lunged toward Dexter, his expression a storm of fury. I knew my brother was itching to confront the arrogant wolf about that infuriating wink—a gesture that felt both flirtatious and downright threatening. We might possess the strength of titans, but we were still outsiders in this pack. Guests who the true Alpha of Black Moon had handed an ultimatum. They didn’t need us now; if anything, our goodwill had come back to haunt us.“Let it go, bro,” I urged, pulling him back as we watched Dexter revel in his victory, the embodiment of arrogance. I could almost feel Anna’s horror radiating from the balcony as he stomped on Marcus’s blood, a grotesque display of dominance.“We have to keep an eye on that bastard,” Cadel muttered through clenched teeth. “I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s in league with the Brothers of Vengeance.”“Yeah, but we need to get the hell out of this godforsaken place,” I countered, trying to red

Whispers echoed among the pack members, speculation swirling about the candidates for the Alpha position and what this duel might reveal about the pack's future.I stood beside Carson and Cameron, watching the scene unfold before us, the weight of the tragedy of previous days pressing heavily on our shoulders. “We need to stay vigilant,” I murmured, scanning the faces in the crowd. “If the Brothers of Vengeance intend on following through with their plans, they will likely have spies around, watching us closely.”“Agreed,” Carson replied, his jaw set in determination. “We must keep our eyes peeled.” Soon, the competitors entered the arena, and a hush fell over the crowd. Dexter strode in confidently, his posture radiating arrogance and experience. The other candidate, an elder named Marcus

    Anna’s PovI was a hundred percent certain that the writing in the leather-bound notebook did not belong to Bryan. After all, we had been mates before Cecilia brought the chaos. I could almost swear that the handwriting was hers. But what use would that information be now that she was gone? I knew I couldn't take back my earlier statement.“It doesn’t belong to Bryan?” Cadel furrowed his brows, confusion etching his features. “We found it among his belongings.”“Think carefully, love,” Cameron said gently, approaching me and placing his hands on my shoulders. “Are you absolutely sure the writing isn’t his?”“I swear on my life,” I replied, resolute in my claim, which earned an amused chuckle from Carson.“There’s no need to swear on your life, darling. Let’s first see what we can find regarding the contacts in the book before we worry about who it originally belonged to.” Carson gently took the notebook from my hand and returned it to the table.Just then, Nicole knocked and slipped i

    104-CARSON’S POVThe council was summoned, and the elders gathered, their faces etched with annoyance at being pulled from their slumber. Some appeared barely interested in what my brothers and I had to convey, while others looked outright skeptical. Bryan’s recent feral episode had cast a shadow on his reputation in their eyes. Yet, the harsh truth had to be revealed.“Your Alpha is dead,” Cadel’s voice sliced through the murmurs, ringing out like a clarion call before the elders could even settle into their seats. His proclamation was met with a crushing silence, a stillness that hung in the air like a prelude to an impending storm. The weight of unanswered questions enveloped us, and I could feel the accusatory glares from the older wolves directed toward us.“What do you mean by dead?” one elder roared, rising angrily to his feet. “He was just alive a few hours ago! He was practically in the arms of your mate! You and your brothers took him to his room, and now you tell us he’s d

    Cameron’s POVAs Cadel rushed from Bryan’s room, he collided with Carson and Lucas, who were hurrying to find the source of the disturbance.“What’s going on,?, You look like you’ve seen a ghost,” Carson attempted a joke, hoping to lighten the atmosphere taut with dread. But Cadel remained silent, his face pallor and grave as he clutched the bloody death threat he'd snatched from the feathered arrow. His hand quivered slightly, the horrific image of Bryan’s lifeless body replaying mercilessly in his mind.“Cadel?” Lucas stepped closer; concern etched deeply across his brow. “What’s wrong with Bryan?”“He’s dead,” Cadel replied, the words flat and devoid of emotion, his eyes distant.“What do you mean dead? He should be sleeping!” The disbelief in Lucas’s voice echoed in the hallway as he moved around Cadel, urgency etched on his face. Carson followed closely behind, the tension thickening the air around us. Moments later, they emerged from the room, their expressions mirroring Cadel'

    - CADEL’S POVI despise disloyalty. I can’t stand insubordination. Traitors are a scourge in my eyes. Yet nothing weighs heavier on my heart than witnessing the sadness of my mate. I hate it when tears flow down her cheek. Every challenge to my authority enrages me, but the sight of Anna in pain cuts deeper than anything else. I was resolute in my decision to end Bryan’s life for daring to touch her, to punish him for his unforgivable actions. However, her tears and desperate pleas doused the flames of my thirst for revenge. Anna's compassion continues to astound me, reminding me of the power of love and the strength it takes to choose empathy over anger.My brothers and I found ourselves on the first floor of the packhouse, watching Bryan pour his heart out in Anna’s embrace. A flicker of jealousy stirred within me, but I quickly reminded myself that he was utterly broken and in need of the comfort only Anna could provide—a solace that none of us could offer.“So, what’s the plan now

Every instinct I possessed surged to the forefront, igniting a fire in my veins—a primal need to protect her. I didn’t hesitate; without a second thought, I raced up the stairs, my feet pounding against the wooden steps that echoed my urgency.“Carson! Wait!” I heard Lucas shout behind me, his voice overshadowed by the roar of adrenaline in my ears. But I didn’t slow down. Anna was in danger, and that was all that mattered.The sound of matching footsteps followed close behind, and my brothers, Cameron and Cadel, joined my frantic rush despite their injuries. Together, we burst through the door to Bryan’s room, the darkness inside wrapping around us like a suffocating shroud.My eyes immediately locked onto the horrifying scene by the window.

We hoped those who went after Cecilia's killer would return any moment, having faced little challenge in capturing him. But we were wrong. A primal roar shattered the silence around us twice. Nicole stood up abruptly. “That must be Bryan.”I joined her. “He's calling for his pack.”“What could have possibly gone wrong?” Lucas asked as he rose too."Let's go after them!" I declared.Lucas nodded, and we left the house, heading towards the forest. As we went after Bryan and the others, more pack members joined us, all responding to the Alpha's call. As we reached the edge of the forest, the scene before us made my blood run cold. Bodies lay strewn across the ground, the metallic scent of blood mixing with the earthy smell of the forest.
