Stella – POV

I stood before the mirror, admiring my handiwork. The dress clung to me perfectly, like a second skin. My pixie haircut had grown out, revealing the natural brown of my hair beneath the blonde. Glancing at the clock, I realized I was running late.

"Ms. Stella," a maid entered my room, "Mr. Kayden is waiting for you downstairs."

"I'll be right there," I replied, grabbing my clutch and descending the staircase. Kayden and Damon, both impeccably suited, watched me approach. I could feel the intensity of their gazes, mainly Damon's. Still, I focused on Kayden, whose amber eyes sparkled with awe.

"You leave me speechless, Stella," Kayden remarked, extending his hand. He kissed my back as I placed mine in his, sending me a fluttering sensation. "I knew this dress would suit you, but you've made it look even more radiant, like moonlight."

I blushed at his words. "You look quite handsome yourself," I said, smiling.

June's voice interrupted us. "Oh, look at the new lovebirds, so u

    Stella – POV"Oh, Cousin! How are you? Long time no see," Alpha Altair exclaimed, his grin broad, while Damon maintained a blank expression."Indeed, it has been a while," Damon replied calmly, extending his hand to meet Alpha Altair's."You always wear such a cold expression; haven't changed a bit," Alpha Altair observed, his smile unsettling as his golden orbs met mine. "And who might this be?" His sniffing seemed odd to me."A human, but pregnant with a Lycan child. You must be the wife of my other twin cousin, Kellan," he deduced with a smile that held no sorrow for his deceased cousin. His casual mention of Kellan hinted at a lack of respect."You should get going, Altair," Damon interjected."Not just yet, cousin. I need to meet this lovely lady. Is she your second-chance mate? Did June leave you?" Alpha Altair inquired, his smile persistent."Sorry to disappoint you, but I am still with Damon," June announced, stepping beside Damon and intertwining her hand with his, which he g

    Damon – POVJune sat quietly next to me, and I felt Julie's glare before we hopped into the car. She was upset with me, and I don't blame her. I saw a hurt and betrayed look in Stella's gaze, wondering if she would come to the Lycan pack."We have to get her back to the Pack," my wolf Rider hissed at me in a possessive tone. I had to calm my wolf, as he was overly protective of Stella, though she was just a family member, not my mate."Rider, shut it," I snapped, and he growled."Seems like you're having a headache," June's sweet voice brought my attention back as we neared home."Of course, dealing with Altair, who tried to ruin things and left the party, tarnishing Alpha Damon's character," Dexter added in annoyance. A sigh escaped my lips in response."What about Stella? Wasn't she humiliated, not knowing Kellan's brother cast Kellan out of the Pack?" Julie defended Stella, making my remorse worse. I harbored many secrets, unsure if Stella would accept them given her current state.

    Stella – POV"You lied to me, Stella," Damon accused. I blinked, his face portraying emotions challenging to decipher."What do you mean?" I asked, confusion etched across my face. His expression was so inscrutable, making it hard to catch my breath. Before he could respond, Kayden pulled me to his side, and I realized I had been standing too close to Damon. Kayden's jealousy was evident, but quickly masked."We are going home, Stella," Damon declared."What? I told you I would return after checking on the wolf pack," I reminded him."Damon, you heard her. I will drop by the Lycan Pack in a few hours," Kayden interjected calmly. Yet, I sensed something was amiss, given the toughness of his composure."Do you want me to keep Stella with you when your brother killed her parents?" Damon's words left me dumbfounded, and Kayden looked at me to check if I had told Damon about this, but he turned to meet Damon's face. "Oh, so you knew Stella, didn't you?" Damon confronted me, and guilt washe

    Stella–POVI awoke with fatigue, checking the time to find it was afternoon already. Sighing, I realized I had a doctor's appointment in an hour. Rushing through my routine, I brushed my teeth, catching a glimpse of the dark circles under my eyes in the mirror. Sleep had eluded me due to Kayden and Damon's ongoing dispute about Macoy's whereabouts. Despite their reluctance, I compelled them to collaborate for justice, turning them into an unwilling team. Under one roof, they resembled a bickering old couple, exhausting the atmosphere.Getting dressed, my eyes wandered to the drawer where I hid Damon's book. Recalling his scowl when he couldn't find his diary, I felt happiness and guilt. I yearned to read the book once I figured out how to unlock the magic in his journal. Tracing my finger over the leather-bound book, I closed the drawer as a knock echoed through my room. "Coming," I called out, and to my surprise, Damon stood in black slacks and a white formal shirt, one button down,

    Kayden – POVI located Macoy's whereabouts. "You're willing to kill your blood brother over a human mate carrying a Lycan child," my mother hissed, her anger evident. I had concealed things from her, and I understood her deep-seated hatred for Lycans stemming from the war that claimed half her family."Mom, I made a promise to everyone," I explained, heading towards the door. To my surprise, it remained shut, and I turned to face my mother's furious and pained expression, preventing me from stepping outside the office."Why don't you reject her and marry Kate? She genuinely cares for you, son," my mother suggested. I glared at her defiantly."We've discussed this enough, Mother," I snapped. "I want Stella; she's my mate, and I won't reject her and regret it later, like you did." I taunted, and she glared at me with anger."I rejected for the good of the wolf land, unlike you, who is putting our land in danger for some stupid, weak human," Mother retorted. Using magic, I unlocked the d

    Stella–POVI tossed and turned; sleep eluded me. Frustrated, I sat up and made my way to retrieve the diary, hoping to find a way to unlock its secrets. I carefully pulled out the journal and, once again, attempted to open it using a hammer on the small lock. To my dismay, it remained stubbornly shut. Exhausted and defeated, I sank back, only to feel a hot trickle of blood from my nose— a telltale sign of stress. Scrambling to find a tissue box, I heard an unexpected click, and to my surprise, the lock popped open, triggered by a drop of blood.Eager to uncover the mysteries within, I opened the diary and found only a description of myself and my name. The rest of the pages were blank, leaving me perplexed. What baffled me even more was that the handwriting was an exact match to Kellan's. While identical twins might share similarities, having similar writing was an uncanny coincidence.Questions raced through my mind. Could Kellan be alive and pretending to be Damon? But why would he

    Kayden – POVIt had been a grievous day. My mother's disdain for me had reached a new height; she didn't even want to look at my face anymore. On the other hand, Dad remained silent, offering no insight into his emotions. While I had long sensed my mother's hatred, my father's stoic silence left me in the dark about his feelings. I slumped back into a chair on the porch.Kate quietly took a seat beside me. I hesitated to initiate a conversation or ask her to leave; perhaps I simply didn't want to be alone. The loss of my brother, though he had chosen a different path, was weighing heavily on me. He was still family, and memories of our childhood—those precious moments spent with Macoy- flooded my mind."Here, have a drink; it might help you feel better," Kate said, offering me a flask of alcohol. I took a sip, then another, gulping it down. She rested her hand on my shoulder, offering a silent comfort."It must be hard on you," Kate whispered sympathetically. "You loved and cared for

    Stella–POVI woke up with a dull headache, sitting on a bed. My hands were shackled. I tried to break free, but it was no use; the shackles were too strong, and my heartbeat quickened with panic. I couldn't recall anything except running and then someone knocked me out."You're awake, Stella," a voice startled me. My eyes darted to the door as it swung open. A strong, tall woman walked in. Despite her left cheek's small, burning scar, she looked regal and fabulous. Her presence was commanding."Who are you?" I asked, my voice trembling. "Where am I?" She sighed, as if expecting these questions from me."I am Alpha Vella of the Cursed Crescent Pack," she declared with an air of authority, her tone leaving no doubt about her leadership status."See, I don't understand what you want from me," I said, fear lacing my words. "I haven't done anything wrong. I'm pregnant; please, let me go," I begged, my eyes pleading for mercy."I know you're pregnant with a Lycan child," she said calmly, a

    Heather's POVI sat at the breakfast table, my stomach twisted into anxious knots, completely devoid of any appetite. Kayden wasn’t around, and the test results were due by evening. The waiting was unbearable. I hated lying in bed, doing nothing to occupy my restless mind. Instead, I busied myself reading about Raven and Xael powers—their strengths, their darker sides, and the terrifying extent. But even the book couldn’t hold my attention for long. Frustrated, I set it aside and stepped out of my room for a walk to clear my head.As I strolled the halls, I noticed a group of soldiers carrying crates filled with books.“Wait,” I called out, stopping them.They froze and turned to me. The scent hit me before I even reached the boxes—Colt’s scent. My monster brother’s lingering essence clung to the books like a haunting memory.“Where are these from?” I asked, narrowing my eyes as I reached for one of the books.“From Raven’s old base,” one soldier answered with a respectful nod.“Take

    Heather’s POVTwo months have passed, and for the first time in what feels like forever, life feels calm. There’s a certain serenity in the air that soothes my restless soul. Stretching my arms above my head, I breathe in the crisp morning air before starting my yoga routine. The warm embrace of sunlight filters through the trees, and the soft breeze kisses my skin. Yoga has become my new ritual—a gentler path the doctor recommended after I had to step back from my usual intense training. It’s strange, but this peaceful morning rhythm makes me feel more grounded.After yoga, I head inside to shower and get ready for the day. Today’s agenda is simple yet important: spending time with the Pack members, checking progress, and ensuring the food we grow will sustain us through the harsh winter. With only five months before the cold season descends upon us, I need to make sure we’re prepared—no excuses. Winter here doesn’t just knock; it storms in, unrelenting and brutal.“Harris! Good morn

    Kayden - POVI stood in the ruins of the Night Angel Pack building, deep in the heart of the human city. The air was thick with decay and a sense of foreboding. “What the hell did you drag me here for?” I snapped, my patience already worn thin.“Shut up and walk,” Damon growled, his usual temper flaring. He’d barely said a word during the entire ride, but his silence nowonly added to my unease. I wanted to text Heather, let her know I was in New York and would teleport back home as soon as this was over—but of course, my phone was dead. Typical.“How long is this going to take?” I asked, my frustration bubbling over.“Honestly? I don’t know,” Damon admitted, his tone clipped.“You mentioned coming to this place,” I pressed, trying to make sense of why we were standing in this desolate hellhole.“No, I didn’t,” he shot back. “I told Stella I was going on a business trip. That’s it.”I raised an eyebrow. “You’re a dead man if she finds out you’re here. Didn’t she nearly lose you the la

    Kayden's -POV It had been a week since the war with the Ravens ended, but the aftermath still lingered. My soldiers were tirelessly combing through every lead, rounding up any Raven who might have malicious intentions. Each interrogation was aimed at uncovering the whereabouts of their elders—whether they were hiding or truly gone for good. Yet my thoughts weren’t just on the war. Heather weighed heavily on my mind. Her health had become my constant concern, as she’d been falling ill more often, fevers striking with alarming frequency.“Alpha, I’m tired,” Harris groaned beside me.I rubbed my tired eyes, feeling just as drained. “We have no Omega to help out. You’ll need to push through like the rest of us. No excuses.”“Alpha, we need a break. The soldiers need it too. If we keep working like this, people are going to collapse,” Harris argued, desperation clear in his voice.I sighed deeply, conceding. “Fine. Call a day off.”Harris’s face lit up as he nodded eagerly and left to spr

    Heather’s POVWhat the hell just happened?A moment ago, power coursed through me as I faced my tyrant brother, Colt, head-on. Now, it was gone. I couldn’t shift. I was stuck, vulnerable, while he stood there in his semi-shifted form—clawed hands and fur-covered arms glinting under the sunlight.“Out of fuel already?” he sneered, shifting back into his human form. His dark, predatory gaze bore into me, a cruel smirk tugging at his lips.My chest heaved as I tried to summon my strength, but nothing came. I couldn’t even answer him.“Wondering why you can’t kick my ass, dear sister?” His grin widened, sharp and merciless. “You should’ve been able to. But here’s the thing: I’ve already won.”He took a step closer. My legs refused to move.“I can paralyze your body and your powers. It’s the easiest way to make a Raven Heir useless.” His voice dropped, venom dripping from every word. “And once I kill you? I’ll take those precious powers for myself. They’ll be mine, Heather. All mine.”My h

My strategy was clear—play defense, keep him chasing, and wear him down.“Burn him!” Odin roared in my head, his anger fueling mine.“Not yet,” I snapped, landing lightly on my feet. My body was tense, every nerve on edge.Colt snarled again, frustration seeping through his glowing red wolf eyes. His fur bristled as if he could sense my plan, but he wasn’t ready for me to strike yet. Not yet.“Why are we stalling?” Odin barked, his voice pounding in my skull.“You’re missing the bigger picture,” I replied coolly. Even as Colt’s claws tore into me with a few painful slashes, I kept my focus. His smirk told me he thought he had the upper hand—but he didn’t. Not for long.“I don’t see a point to this!” Odin growled, impatience dripping from his words.I clenched my jaw. Odin didn’t get it. The Raven Heir couldn’t be killed by or

Damon’s voice cut through the chaos, sharp and lethal.“You’re not laying a finger on him.”With a single push, Damon sent Colt staggering back like he was nothing more than a rag-doll. Colt growled, seething with barely contained rage as he locked eyes with Damon.“You... you’re a Lycan. Stay out of wolf pack business!” Colt spat, his voice dripping with venom. “Lycans and wolves are enemies—you know that.”Damon’s response was chillingly calm. “And you know what? That thinking is why this feud will never end. I’m not a fool like my father, clinging to outdated grudges.”Colt froze, a flicker of shock betraying his otherwise stoic expression.“You know.”Damon’s lips curled into a faint, knowing smile. “Oh, I’ve figured it out.
