Astra's POVNoah's sudden interruption had thrown the entire ceremony into chaos. The foyer was alive with whispers and gasps, the air thick with tension. I could hear their accusations and specilations already. What would they say if they found out that Noah was my mate.I couldn't believe my eyes as Noah stood there, only a few feet away. Hell, a part of me still thought this was a very bad dream.I glanced at Ramsey, who had moved closer to me. I could feel his anger radiating beside me, his hand gripping mine tightly as if to reassure me that he was there."Noah," I managed to say, my voice a mix of surprise and disbelief. My heart raced, and a whirlwind of emotions swirled within me. But as he walked forward, my surprise turned to anger, and my disbelief turned to frustration.As he stood before us, I felt my anger at him and this situation grow. "Stop this mating ceremony!" He yelled, and his words were met with a mixture of shock and confusion from the crowd. I watched as Lady

Chapter 42

Astra's POV I saw Noah's eyes darken as I said those last words. I knew that look in his eyes a little too well; I'd seen him use it several times when he was mad. It was the look he reserved for enemies.He never used that look on me, and seeing it now sent shivers of apprehension down my spine.However, I stood my ground. Noah had never been able to intimidate me, and he definitely would not start now."You heard me," I said, eyebrows raised. "Get the hell out of here, Noah. You have done enough damage by bursting into my wedding and ruining it. The least you could do is pick up the rest of your dignity and leave this place. Leave, Noah. Go!"The dark look in his eyes persisted as he stepped closer to me. A hint of blood and sweat from his body hit my nose, and I curled my lips in distaste. I couldn't believe that this same man whom I'd cherished and loved could become so disgusting to me. Slowly he pulled out his sword, then stretched it before me hilt first. He went to his knees

Chapter 43

Noah's POVEven as I walked out of Alpha Ramsey's pack, I could feel my entire world crashing around me.I stumbled down the staircase I'd ascended with so much confidence before, feeling wave after wave of heartbreak flow through me. The pain of finally losing Astra sent my skin flushing with sweat and goosebumps.So this is pain, I thought. Was this how Astra had felt when I had rejected her? Had she endured this excessive thumping in her chest? This unbearable agony that seemed to tear at every fibre of her being? I felt like a fish out of water, like I'd been detached from my life source. Every organ, every muscle and every other part of me was pulled in her direction; it felt as though my body would never know rest until she was close to me.I stopped at the foot of the staircase, letting out gasps of agonizing breaths. I sat on the steps, every bit of shame leaving my body as I stared into the horizon. The horse carriage I'd come with was standing in the distance. From here I co

Chapter 44

Kylie's POV I stormed out of the dungeons, feeling the effects of the man's words tailing me. I had tried to put up a brave face, but his words had affected me like nails on a chalkboard. I knew I had to act fast, or I was in danger of losing my hold on Alpha Noah. Quickly I rushed out of the dungeons, ignoring the greetings of the guards as I walked past. I hurried up the staircase leading into the dungeon's depths, then re-emerged into the foyer. I halted right in the middle of the foyer, the image of my wedding ceremony with Noah plastered in my vision. The foyer was practically bare, but I could still see the white wrought iron chairs, the aisle that had run down to the altar, the traditional white roses and the makeshift altar. I closed my eyes, relishing the image, holding it tight to me and reminding myself that I was finally narried to Noah. Even if he brought Astra back, I was his lawfully and traditionally wedded wife. I still had some hold on him, however small it coul

Chapter 45

Astra's POVWhen I woke the morning after our wedding night, I found Ramsey still by my side. I turned my head, staring at his peaceful face as he slept on, oblivious to what was going on around him.I sighed as I watched him, his raven-black hair billowing around his head in curtains. His eyelashes were long and dark, forming shadows shaped like crescents under his eyes. The sun filtering from the window above our heads cast his face into bright lines, and a thin sheen of sweat was already forming on his forehead.I loved him so much. I was so scared of him that even the thought of something bad happening to him made me scared out of my wits.And I could not believe that we were finally married, irrespective of the big disruption from Noah."I love you, Ramsey." I whispered to him."Astra...." He breathed my name as he slept on.I raised my hand and caressed his cheek, remembering Noah and all that had happened the previous day. The sight of my former mate after almost a year of bein

Chapter 46

Noah's POVThe ride back to my pack was the most silent I had ever taken.The silence pressed against us like a cold, wet blanket, sucking out the last of my hopes. My beta, Jasper, sat by me in the carriage. He was murmuring words of encouragement, but I wasn't listening. My mind was miles away, back in that pack house with Astra looking at me. Her eyes had held me the moment I had stared into them, the same way they had held my soul when we were still mates. It was appalling, the hold that woman still had on me. Even as I rode away from her, my heart wept with all the memories forgotten, all the chances lost.She had been my hope and sunshine. Now she was another man's.I heard Jasper sigh in frustration, and I pulled my thoughts away from the depths of despair. "Alpha, did you even listen to everything I have been saying?" He asked.I peeled my eyes away from the window pf the carriage and stared at him. His eyes was full of worry—worry for me, and worry for our prospects moving o

Chapter 47

Kylie's POVI took a deep, shaky breath, my chest still heaving with anger from the confrontation with Alpha Noah. I had endured so many hurtful words and painful actions from him, but this was the height of it!As I stormed out of his office, my hands clenched into fists. The bitterness in my heart had been growing steadily, and tonight, it was definitely boiling over. "It's all Astra's fault," I muttered through gritted teeth. That crafty bitch had stolen Noah's heart, pulled him away from me, even though she was miles away with another wolf pack. How she still managed to have a hold on my mate was surprising.They had been separated for almost a year now. Noah should have forgotten about her and moved on with his life. He had gotten married to me. For the Goddess' sake, I was carrying his child! And yet he'd turned a blind eye to my feelings, gone after Astra as though she was the only woman in his life.I needed to get rid of her, for good this time. I needed to get her out of th

Chapter 48

Noah's POVIn the early morning light, I sat behind my desk. Sun was filtering in through the window behind me, warming my back.However, what I felt inside of me was a scary coldness. A cold that had been ever since I left the Moon Stone pack without Astra.I groaned and shook my head vigorously, trying to dispel thoughts of her from my brain. Now was not the time for sentiments. Now was the time for action.I stared at the littered desk in front of me, the scattered papers reflecting my internal turmoil. My eyes were bloodshot from a sleepless night, and I couldn't shake the unease that gnawed at my conscience. I glanced up: six men stood at attention before me, including Jasper my beta, watching my every move. The room was tense, and I knew they were waiting for instructions or information.I muttered to myself, my voice strained and ragged, as if I were on the brink of madness. "Where is she? What has she done?" The papers beneath my trembling hands were filled with lists, plans,

Chapter 49

Eleanor's POVI stood on the porch upstairs, my eyes fixed on the dense forest that surrounded the pack house. My heart was heavy with anger and disbelief. How could my son, Ramsey, have committed such an atrocious act while I was still alive? He had finally gone through with his wishes. He had finally married that girl and tainted our family line forever. The nerve!As if marrying that gypsy girl, Astra wasn't bad enough, he'd had to engage in a brawl with her former lover on his wedding day in front of hundreds of guests.I had watched the faces of the invited royal guests as Ramsey had fought with that alpha. They had been horrified—of course, they had to act horrified to look like they were on our side—but underneath the horror, I had seen amusement and jest, as clear as day on their faces.They were making fun of us in secret, I knew. They also wondered, like me, why Ramsey had ignored all the eligible women in his pack and gone for a mere commoner instead. A woman who was made

Chapter 50

Ramsey's POVI stormed out of the pack house, leaving my mother on the porch. Anger coursed through me like a tempest, fueled by her stubborn refusal to accept Astra. But beneath the anger, a gnawing worry and fear for my mother's well-being lingered.She was a stubborn woman, my mother. But this seemed to be the height of it. She would rather starve than accept Astra!As I walked through the halls of the pack house and out into the open, I couldn't shake the image of my mother's sad and haggard appearance. She looked as if my wedding to Astra was taking a toll on her, and it pained me to see her in such a state. Yet, I knew that I couldn't reject Astra because of her. Eleanor was my mother, but Astra was the love of my life.I reminded myself that Eleanor hadn't eaten for days, which explained her pallor and sickly appearance. She needed nourishment, and perhaps, once she ate, she would feel better. At least, that's what I hoped.I couldn't lose either of them. They were the two mos
