Lyla POVThe garden was an enigmatic blend of serenity and unrest, much like my own thoughts. Here, the roses bloomed fiercely, their reds, pinks, and whites vibrant against the green foliage. And just like me, they stood on a battlefield—beauty surrounded by thorns. I'd been standing here for Goddess knows how long, staring at the fountain in the center, its water droplets catching sunlight like diamonds as they danced through the air.I lifted my hand, my fingers brushing against the tender flesh at the side of my neck where Noah's mark pulsed like a second heartbeat. A wave of emotion washed over me: warmth, possessiveness, but also a sharp jab of... something. Something like disquiet or discord, lurking at the edge of my consciousness.According to Noah, the ceremony—about which my memory is mysteriously foggy—bound us as mates.

Lyla POV:As I sat in the opulent chamber, getting ready for Noah's coronation, a whirlwind of emotions engulfed me. The room buzzed with maids flitting around, their hands skillfully working on my hair and makeup. Each stroke of the brush, each pinning of a curl felt like a step closer to a destiny I wasn't sure I wanted.I glanced at my reflection in the mirror. The woman looking back at me was draped in a gown that cascaded down in waves of shimmering fabric, its icy blue hue reminiscent of a winter sky. It was stunning, yet it felt like a costume, a disguise masking my true self.My thoughts drifted to Noah. Our last argument about not seeing my family lingered bitterly in my mind. He had been relentless every night, trying to establish a physical connection, but I had firmly held my ground. Each time I gave in to the smallest of his advances, a sense of betrayal gnawed at me, leaving me feeling dirty and ashamed. Why did it feel like I was betraying someone when Noah was my desti

Samuel POV:The night enveloped Vampriya like a dark shroud, its silence only broken by the faint rustling of leaves in the eerie breeze. Perched on a high vantage point, Cameron and I surveyed the castle’s looming silhouette, an imposing structure of ancient stone and dark secrets.“This feels like the calm before the storm,” Cameron muttered, his eyes never leaving the castle.The tension in his voice was palpable.I nodded in agreement, feeling the weight of the moment.“It is. But we’re ready. We’ve planned for every contingency.”Beneath us, our team was a silent array of shadows, each member in their assigned position. Lyla’s brothers, Lars, Kaiden, Aiden, and Fiden, were huddled together, their faces etched with determination and concern. Our elite warriors stood poised, ready to spring into action at a moment’s notice.Alana, positioned safely yet strategically, was our secret weapon. Her psychic abilities could give us the edge we desperately needed.“Remember, stay out of si

Lyla POV:The grand hall of Vampriya's castle, now a battleground of conflicting loyalties and revelations, echoed with a tense silence. My massive form, an eternal wolf shimmering in hues of lavender and grey, stood amidst the chaos, feeling the gravity of my torn allegiance.My brothers, Lars, Kaiden, Aiden, and Fiden, halted in their assault, their expressions a mix of awe and disbelief as they recognized me. Their voices were filled with confusion and concern."Lyla?" Lars's voice echoed through the hall, laced with uncertainty.I couldn't speak in my wolf form, but my eyes and stance spoke volumes. A nod, a snarl, each a response to their unspoken questions.Cameron and Samuel, the twin princes, stood frozen, their eyes locked onto mine. The pain and shock in their expressions were palpable. They understood the significance of what I was, but words failed them in the face of this overwhelming revelation.Noah, by my side, tightened his grip, his hiss a venomous whisper in my ear.

Cameron POV:The corridors of the vampire stronghold were a maze of shadows and echoes, a labyrinth where every step could be a misstep. We moved with the stealth of seasoned predators, but even the most cunning hunter can become the hunted.The plan had been simple: infiltrate quietly, locate Lyla, and extract her without alerting Noah or his minions.
