DAMIEN’S POV:I hated seeing her like this. So distressed, confused, and frustrated. She appeared as though she was on the verge of having a mental breakdown. The sky was already starting to dim, and the air became cooler, but the thick, nauseating scent of blood still hung in the air. I watched Rosaline and everyone else search with torches around the area where it all happened.But I knew it was pointless. We all knew it, and so did she. But what better option did she have?I had an idea, but I did not want to share it. If I did, Rosaline would jump at the opportunity and end up getting hurt. Because one of my girls is already in danger, I cannot afford to risk the other.“You seem to be quite deep in thought; you have been standing at this exact spot for the past thirty minutes.”My mother’s voice filled my ears and snapped me out of my world of deep thoughts. My attention fell on her as she stood beside me and supervised the search.“There is nothing here,” I said with the voice

ROSALINE’S POV: “Where is he?"Damien has been gone for over two hours; how could he disappear in the midst of Ariana’s kidnapping? Exactly, he wouldn’t. Damien is way too crazy to get kidnapped by a measly gang of wolves. He would never be taken by surprise; rather, he would walk right into them, kill them off, and walk out in ten minutes like nothing happened. I should have known; he had a lead and did not want to tell me that when he was still here, he wouldn’t help in the search. Hell, he did not even look like he cared about what we were doing.I can’t believe I did not notice him slip past me. What was he thinking, going to get Ariana by himself? Yes, Damien was crazy, but this bastard decapitated one of my personal maids and sent her head in a fucking gift box. This guy was a psychopath.Judging by the way Marielle’s demeanor had changed ever since he disappeared, I knew she knew something. She shrugged and said, with a voice so empty,“I saw him leave but didn’t want to s

ROSALINE’S POV: “Have you ever heard of a mate triangle, Rosaline?"Yes, I have.I thought it was a myth. It is said that a wolf can mate with two wolves, but that was for those the moon goddess cursed, and it happened only in very few circumstances.My nose scrunched, and I found it hard to wrap my head around what he was saying. There had to be some sort of mistake somewhere, or maybe he was bluffing.“A mate triangle is only possible when one person feels for two others,” I noted, meeting his eyes with countering ones. “And I feel nothing for you.”He pinched his eyes shut like my words were an arrow sent straight to his heart. An almost silent, but shaky, breath left his lips before he continued. “I know you don’t. This is a mate triangle complex; I am a third wheel,” he stated, and the look on my face must have indicated that I was still lost.“I hated Giovani Creed. I hated him for what he did to me. I hated him for neglecting me, abandoning me, and acting as though I never ev

ROSALINE’S POV:It was just too hard to believe. How in the world were they brothers? They had no similar features whatsoever. Well, except for the eyes, of course. Damn those eyes to hell. The two brothers were engaging in some sort of stare-off, and I wondered how long it would last because they were both sitting down, and personally, I was tired of standing. It has been about ten minutes now.“What are you guys going to do with me?” Derrick asked, shattering the silence that seemed to be never-ending.“Well, there are three options. We can either kill you, imprison you for life, or…" Damien trailed off, and I wondered what the other option could be. There was no other option, which is why my eyes practically bulged out of their sockets when my husband said, “Or let you go.”“What?!”That word had come from both Derrick and me. There was no way Damien had actually said that, right? Or maybe he did not mean to?“What do you mean, let him go? That is not even an option,” I said fir

ROSALINE’S POV:Today was my first day. I felt excited and anxious at the same time. I tried to keep my composure and not let my feelings show. I will be going into that room filled with some of the strongest and most frightening men to ever walk our territory. I could not afford to slip up; I could not afford to let Damien down or bring shame to our pack. Today was the council meeting with some of the pack’s officials and the alphas of the neighbouring packs.I inhaled deeply and tried to calm my nerves. Once I felt like I was ready, I nodded at the two guards standing by the entrance, and they opened the door for me.Holy shit.It felt as though I had forgotten how to breathe, or rather, that my breath had been lodged in my throat and something was preventing it from getting out. That something was fear. I did not even take a single step before I was able to feel the power and intimidation radiating from that very room. There were two ministers, three generals, and six alphas. Each
