CHAPTER 128Genevieve's pov.“No! He attacked me! He wanted to kill me! I only tried to defend myself!” I screamed but they didn't look like they were going to believe anything I say.“Liar! Genevieve must die!”“Genevieve must die!!” They started to chant loudly and fear gripped me. Not knowing what to do, I ran back into the clinic, slamming the door shut. I leaned against the door, breathing heavily and withstanding the loud bangs on the door.“Open the door!!” They continued to rage, hitting the door violently. “We need to get you to safety!” Cara ran towards me and attempted to pull me away.“Where to? You want me to leave Thorn here all alone? I can't do that, they'll kill him.” I responded but she bit her lip tiredly.“Where's Taloria?” I asked.“I already sent her out through the back and I sincerely think you should come with me now for your own safety.” As soon as she finished that statement, a large brick landed in between us. The villagers were trying to break in through
CHAPTER 129Genevieve's pov.I turned my head, my eyes still shut. The terrible odour filled my nostrils again and I scrunched my nose, putting my palm over my nose. I managed to open my eyes, but my vision was blurry and I had an awful headache. Looking around, I saw the decaying body which was giving off the stench and realized that I had been lying next to it. I felt nauseous immediately, and went to stand by the cell gate, putting my face out to receive any amount of fresh air I could get.The dungeon was as silent as a graveyard, I must be the only prisoner in here, the thought of that gave me chills and I wondered how I was going to survive staying down here on my own with this foul stench. “Hello!?” I yelled out but was greeted by the echo of my own voice.“Is anyone there!?” I yelled out again but again, no reply except for the echo.“Hello!!” I screamed even louder and the main doors flipped open immediately, an angry looking guard made his way in and over to me. I guess he
CHAPTER 130Genevieve's pov.“Help!! Help!!” I yelled at the top of my lungs, fear and agony detectable in the tone of my voice. I cried out for help yet again, before two guards ran into the dungeon, drawing their swords and running towards my cell. “Help!!!” I screamed and they all turned to see Taloria beside my cell, twitching and growling in a low voice. Their fear when they saw her was evident, and they stopped running towards me. “Take one more step and I'm going to kill you all! This does not concern you in any way! Her soul belongs to me and I am here to take it!” She growled, her voice turning completely into the horrifying voice that she used to have when Ginger Carmine possessed her! Could it be that her soul never left?“Who are you!?” The guards asked in fright. “Who I am is not important! I will kill anyone who stands the in my way!” She cackled loudly. The atmosphere changed immediately, fear and danger was clearly perceived. I was shaking in my cell, wondering what
CHAPTER 131Genevieve's pov.As soon as Taloria fell, I ran to her and held her up.“Stop! She could be dangerous!” The commander yelled at me, trying to take her away from me but I protected Taloria with my body.“It's fine, she's not possessed anymore.” I told them and they backed off a little bit. I continued to try and wake Taloria up but she wasn't responsive. I got scared, thinking that something was wrong. “Taloria? Open your eyes please.” I pleaded, giving her light taps on her cheek. She finally opened her eyes weakly, staring at me with a smile.“Genevieve? What happened?” She asked, her voice was faint. I was happy that she was alright.“You're fine now. Don't worry about it.” I told her.“We are so sorry Genevieve. We had no idea that Jamie was involved in so much atrocious acts.” One of the elders started and the others followed suit, each one apologizing for misjudging and treating me badly. “It's alright. I just want to go back to Thorn.” I requested and they agreed. T
Genevieve's POV"Luna!" Cara's squeal reached my ears just as I launched into the river. I felt my body slam against the water currents and then slip deep into the river.For a minute I allowed myself the inner peace of being buried deep in the waters. The sloshing sound of the river against rocks and tones and the feeling of absolute nothingness. "Luna! Oh, my goddess! Tell me she hasn't drowned!" Ah, what would I do without my worrisome maid? Cara made it a point to constantly fret over every single thing. As if I were a mere child. I swam up to the surface, feeling the water droplets slip down my body as I rose out of the river, a grin on my lips. My nipples stiffened as the cold air whipped around them and I sighed needily. Jamie was in a meeting with Alphas from neighbouring clans and that meant he couldn't satisfy me. Not that he ever did. "You're alive!" Cara squealed again and I looked up to see my petite maid, standing on a cliff nearby, her pretty pale face fram
Genevieve's POVMate?! He was my mate? The perfect male specimen standing right before me? I shifted, the snapping and popping of bones filled the air and the pain dulled when I did. I would have to get the sliver out of the wound when I got back to the pack house. But for now, I needed to understand one thing. How did I have a mate? When I was born, it had been prophesied that I was a child of the moon goddess. I would not have a mate as my life would entirely belong to her. Of course, growing up I had refused that idea and married Alpha Jamie of the Wolfgang pack. I hadn't expected to have an actual mate. And yet here he was. I struggled to remain on my feet, holding his piercing gaze. His green eyes roved over my face, taking in the wound on the side of my head and he growled in anger, raising the wolf head in his hands and ripping it apart with his bare hands. Fuck. Me! I had never seen anything more hotter. His eyes were dark with rage and he panted heavily, tossing
Genevieve's POVI hopped swiftly from roof to roof, my feet lightly grazing them as I made my way r the guard house. The Wolfang pack was built in a rather traditional way. We lived in a valley, surrounded by forests and hills. Our houses were built in concentric circles. Starting with a quarter of our army living around the edges, surrounding the entire clan. The next circle was houses of weapon smiths. The frontier would need a steady supply of weapons to keep intruders from getting into the pack.After their circle were farmers to feed us and cultivate the fertile soil of the forests. Then the other workers occupied the circle until we got to the innermost circle. The ones occupied by the Alpha, his Beta, Delta, their guards, and families. I was quite proud of the arrangement. I had designed it. It was the one way I could think of to protect the people as well as the important decision-makers at the same time. That way we had our guard on all the time and could still mainta
Genevieve's POVI managed to make it back to the palace unseen and revealed myself to Jamie before he tore the whole place down. I managed to convince him that I had gone for a walk to clear my head and after a lot of fuss from Cara, I was finally left alone. But I couldn't sleep. I tried, desperately. But all I could think about was the salty taste of his skin against my tongue when I had sucked on his Adam's apple. His scent invades my every being. So this was the power of a true mate bond. This was true desire. At twenty years old, when it became quite clear that I would never have a mate, I decided to get married instead. I had quite a lot of suitors. Every wolf wanted a bond with the child of the goddess herself. A white wolf was rare. Getting married to one was even rarer. I sat up on my bed, a frown etched on my face. My mate had a white wolf as well. His black hair was rather misleading but I had seen him when he attacked the rogue. White fur. Exactly like mine was.

CHAPTER 127Genevieve's pov.“What!?” Taloria cried out. “Do you even know what you're saying!? If you can't save him, then who can!? Where's my brother!!?” She tried to run past the doctor but Cara was quick to hold her back, stopping her from dashing into the ward. They were both shedding tears with Taloria struggling to get free from Cara's grip.“Let me go! Leave me alone!!” She yelled, her agony was killing me. I stood there without a single expression on my face. I took a few steps backwards, staring into nothing as tears clouded my vision. I didn't know how to react, I didn't know what to do at that moment, I had nothing but anguish in my heart.“Genevieve! Genevieve do something!! Please save my brother!!” Taloria continued to scream at the top of her lungs, fighting to get away from Cara who was doing a good job holding her down.“Please!! My brother should not die!!” She cried out, tears pouring down her eyes uncontrollably. I couldn't even look her in the face, seeing her
CHAPTER 126Genevieve's pov.I glared at them, waiting for them to step out of the way so that I could go in. After a lot of hesitation, they finally moved out of the way and we continued our journey into the pack. I would occasionally look back at Thorn and check to see if he was still breathing. Thankfully, he was still alive but his breaths were getting slow and I knew we would lose him soon if he does not get medical attention soon.We made our way straight to palace, ignoring all the side talks we got on our way there. Indeed, my people now have the worst impression about me.“Isn't that Luna Genevieve!?”“I can't believe she's alive!”“She should be dead, she doesn't even deserve to live, not after what she did to our dear Alpha.”“Imagine cheating on the Alpha with a mere guard! She's absolutely disgusting and I hate her.” “We don't want you here!”“Where is our Alpha? What has she done with him? And who is she carrying like that? Is he dead?”“Isn't that her lover?”“She is i
CHAPTER 125Genevieve's pov.“Thorn!! Thorn!!” Taloria's piercing screams filled the air. I turned to find her vigorously shaking her brother who was lying lifeless on the floor already. I looked at Jamie again, to make sure that he was dead for good this time around. He lay there with the dagger in him, bleeding from his stabs, mouth and nose. There was absolutely no chance for his survival and I was relieved.He had tormented me for a really long time and I wasn't going to let him get away with it. Stabbing Thorn was the last straw.Quickly, I rushed over to where Taloria was sitting on the floor, carrying Thorn's head in her arms. She was screaming his name and shaking him to wake him up but he was unconscious already. My whole body was covered in goosebumps as I stared at Thorn's lifeless body. My pupils dilated and I froze at the spot, a strange gush of wind blowing through the forest. I didn't know how to react or what to feel. Thorn is dead? My mate is dead? The thought of it
CHAPTER 124Genevieve's pov.Thorn agreeing to follow me back to my pack has to be one of the best things I've heard in a really long time. I was ecstatic and couldn't wait to go back with him. Who knows? We might even end up getting married and live together in wolfang pack. Since the pack is without a leader, we could be the leaders.“Then we should get going, before it gets dark.” I said.“Going back to Wolfang pack is a two-day journey and we need to be prepared.” Thorn stated.“Taloria, take Genevieve around and you two should gather as much food and ammunition as possible while I salvage whatever I can from here. We will meet at the border in an hour.” He instructed. Taloria and I nodded as we left the palace, she took me into the village where we searched the houses for any food, clothes and weapons for defending ourselves.“I think we've gathered enough, besides, we're going back to my pack and there will be plenty of food there.” I told Taloria who was still trying to pack som
CHAPTER 123Thorn's pov.I watched Genevieve in her unconscious state, thinking about what to tell her as soon as she wakes up. Not only did I disrespect her and let her leave in anger, I scared her into hitting her head against a rock. I have a lot of apologizing to do.I had moved her already, to open ground where I was waiting for her to regain consciousness. After a while, she started to move and slowly opened her eyes. I was relieved, at least she's fine. “Are you okay?” I questioned and she let out a groan before sitting up. She looked around, probably trying to understand where she was before she turned to stare at me, like she hadn't seen me before.“What happened?” She questioned.“You um.. you passed out.” I replied, scratching my head. She lifted her hand to feel the back of her head and then winced. She finally remembered everything that happened and the fire in her eyes returned. She was furious.“You fucking pushed me!?” She growled and winced again.“Take it easy, and
