Chapter One Hundred and Seventy One

I spent more time with Nick, not only because it made my mother happy, but because I discovered that I could easily distract myself from thinking about Thane when I was with him.Nick was interested in agriculture, and I did admire him, but today we sat on a three-branch together."What did it feel like?" he asked. "Being with the Alpha King."I was silent for a long while; I hadn't talked about him since I came to this pack, but maybe sharing what I felt would make things better. Nick was close; he had become more of a family friend, and my mother loved him; she loved the fact that he was 'bringing me to life', but she hoped too much. I didn't love Nick, not in the way she thought, and I didn't think Nick felt that way either; he was just a free person."It was beautiful at times, painful at other times, scary sometimes, exciting at other times," I answered."I can't understand why exactly he made such a decision," Nick says genuinely."I don't know either; maybe he is trying to ‘pro

Chapter One Hundred and Seventy Two

"What?" I demanded, my eyes narrowing at him."That didn't quite come out how I planned, I'm sorry. It is not a demand; you are free to refuse.""I can't marry you; I don't even like you," I said blandly."Love is never a big part of many marriages," he says."So then why would you want me as a wife?""Your influence; you don't seem to notice it, but you are the werewolf queen.""Not anymore""Many would always see you as that.""And so you plan to do what?; Use me to increase your pack status?”"If you want the truth, then yes."He didn't hesitate; I should be irritated by his request, but strangely, I wasn't. At least he was making his intentions clear from the very start; he would only let me attain power capable of making me his equal if I agreed to be his wife, and this way benefiting the pack. Thane never did this.Still, his request had caught me by surprise. "You can take as long as you need to think about this," he said."There won't be any need for that; my answer is no.""I

Chapter One Hundred and Seventy Three

I couldn't explain it all to my mother. She wouldn't understand; no one but Nick would; he understood what it felt like.The thought of hurting her saddened me."Riley, are you alright?" she asked. This was the third time she had asked that question."Yes, mom, I am alright," I answered, trying to put on a smile, but I couldn't fake that, not with her."Okay, tell me what's going on." she asked, taking a seat on the cushion opposite me.I inhaled deeply. "We all have to take risks to get what we want, you know that, right?""I do, but not all risks are worth taking," she said; it was almost like she could read me. "Something is wrong, I can tell. Does this have to do with... Nick, did he say something to you?""Yes...No""What did he do?" she asked, her expression turning grave."Nothing""Don't lie to me; what is the risk you speak about?""I and Nick are getting married.", This was only a part of the truth, but I knew I wasn't going to get past my mother's curiosity so I had to tell

Chapter One Hundred and Seventy Four

It wouldn't make sense for Thane to come here after everything. Yet, maybe I've been wrong all along; perhaps, just like me, he couldn't stay away.I never bothered to think about the fact that Gabriel wouldn't refer to the Alpha King as 'someone’, I didn't want to think, my heart seemed to have a mind of its own. I followed Gabriel down the stairs, and all the while, I imagined scenarios of what it would be like to see Thane again. Would he be sorry for what he had done to me? Would I forgive him?The answer was; Yes. Call me pathetic and foolish, but I knew that would be my answer if he pleaded genuinely. A part of me knew he would come for me, and that part of me 'waited' each day for him. Was it possible to hate and love a person?Yes, it was. I hated Thane, but also I loved him. Finally, I walked into the living space, and there I noticed...There was no Thane.For some reason, that hit me so hard. I should have known better, but I didn't.I never realized how hopeful I really

Chapter One Hundred and Seventy Five

"As much as I want to help you, you must have heard by now that I am no longer the Queen Luna," I said to him."Titles like that cannot be taken away by mere words," he insisted. "We need your help; an attack is coming soon, one bigger than the previous; we cannot fight that off."I still didn't think Thane would do this, not if these people haven't done anything to start up the war, and yet the man sounded so sure, and from the look in Nick's eyes, he seemed to agree with the man's opinion."I cannot help you; I am not the savior," I admitted, and with that, I walked away because I couldn't stand and watch the disappointment in their eyes. What did they expect me to do—talk to Thane? fight against him?I couldn't do that..I sat down alone in my room lost in thoughts until a knock at the door drew my attention."The door is unlocked; come in," I called, and Nick walked in."Can I sit?" he questioned, and I nodded. He took a seat on the bed while I sat on the cushion. "They were not

Chapter One Hundred and Seventy Six

I always knew something was off with Thane's statement. How could I be so foolish? How could I have ignored such a huge clue? I remembered Thane's words when I confronted him about the pictures. 'Not everyone is happy about the new changes,' he had said. As the Alpha King, he claimed he was only monitoring them to stay one step ahead and remain on a safer side.' Then, I did feel like they were hiding something. What if they were? Still, I found it hard to believe Thane was behind this, those packs many believed he attacked committed no crime against him, many people had died, children too and all for what? Power is a deadly game, but Thane was all for the dangerous stuff. How could Axel agree to this? That was the most shocking of them all. I had long forgotten about the secret room, till the dream, and maybe I didn't want to believe this as the truth but the evidence was all there, how long would I keep denying it. Once more, Thane never fails to surprise me. I had

Chapter One Hundred and Seventy Seven

Nighttime came way too fast. Decisions like this were easier said than done. I couldn't tell my mother I was leaving. She couldn't know I was leaving with Nick either, just because things could go very wrong and he might not return back with me. I stared at the blank paper on the table. I couldn't just leave without writing my mother a letter, just in case... "Gotta take a walk; I'll be back late. I have some good news too. Nick just OFFICIALLY proposed to me, and now I get the hype. The ring is so beautiful, and I am actually... excited. I love you, mom, always. XXX I reread the letter; it would have to do. I packed up some of those beautiful jewelry I had gotten from Thane into a bag—I had finally found use for them as I rarely did wear them. I put on a black coat over my leather trousers and crop top, and I walked out of my room. I met Nick at the farm; he did love this place, and I admired that. "You came quick," he says. "Of course I would." "So do we

Chapter One Hundred and Seventy Eight

It had been scary at first.The knowledge that Nick was in total control was scary, but when I ignored those fears, it was simply amazing. I looked down; from this height everything seemed smaller.I lost track of time as we 'flew', but too soon we plummeted downwards, and Nick landed elegantly. Only then did I notice how tight I had grasped onto his shirt."You could come down now," Nick says, and I nodded, but my legs wouldn't cooperate. He chuckled, helping me down."That was... wow," I commented."I know right?""Is she here?, the sorceress, I mean.""Yeah, come with me," he says. I followed after him.We were in the woods; this had not been what I expected. A nervous feeling settled over me.Finally, Nick came to a stop. At this part of the woods, dense plants with tendrils formed a curtain, blocking our view from what lay ahead. Nick pushed aside the tendrils of the plants and walked in. I hesitated before following.In the little space, there were even more flowers, their inter

Chapter One Hundred and Seventy Nine

I woke up, squinting against the bright lights; it took a moment for my eyes to adjust to it.Was I dead?I stared around the room.This place looked familiar.This was Nick's room.The past day even flashed past my mind. I stared at my wrist to see the bite mark. It hadn't been a dream; Nick had wings, and he also had very sharp teeth. ‘Did it work?’ That was the next question on my mind.Just then I noticed Nick; he was making coffee.I rose from the bed, feeling a bit light-headed from the abrupt movement. "You might need to sit for a while; you've lost a lot of blood," he says."What happened... did it work?" I asked, my eyes wide and hopeful.He finally turned to me, and I could see the sadness in his eyes. He shook his head. "No. It didn't work. You almost died back there," he says. A wave of disappointment filled me. I just wasn't good enough."But you survived; that is the most important thing. Your mother had been worried about you, and with you in my room, she thinks we we

Chapter One Hundred and Eighty

For the next few days, Nick guided me on how to control my wings, and soon using them felt like second nature to me, they felt like an extension of myself.Now we had to plot on how to stop Thane, and it was easier said than done. "You can't possibly think I can return back to the Nightshade pack," I argued.We were seated in a small meeting room. Nick and Gabriel were present. Gabriel was regarded as the commander and next in command after Nick."Hear me out, okay?" Gabriel pleaded. "You alone know the ins and outs of the Nightshade pack more than any other person, and with those... wings, getting in wouldn't be as hard."Gabriel knew about my wings. He had discovered them one of the days I trained with Nick. Turns out he also had an idea that Nick wasn't just a werewolf. That day, Gabriel had walked away like he saw nothing and never brought it up until now.Nick didn't seem to like the idea of me returning back to the Nightshade Pack one bit. "Is there not any other way?" he quest
