THE GATHERING Davina’s POV“No… no, no, no.”The words repeated in my mind like a chant, like a prayer I desperately wanted the Moon Goddess to hear.I stood behind the clearing, hidden behind the trees, my entire body was trembling as my eyes took in the celebration before me. I couldn't believe what I was seeing.Tears covered my eyes, I couldn't breathe, my Malcolm. My mate. Why is this happening to me? This was another heart whacking event for me since my father passed. This is not fair. Why can't anyone even have pity on me?The more I cried, the more people arrived, they didn't even care, everyone wanted to look their best. dressed in their finest. Women wore elegant gowns, with their hair woven with silver threads. Men wore dark tunics embroidered with the pack’s crest, their expressions were serious but joyful. Warriors stood on guard, with their hands resting on the hilts of their swords, standing in absolute silence.This wasn’t just about the succession, it was a d

THE ALPHA’s CORONATIONDavina’s POV “This is really happening.” I stood there, rooted to the spot, unable to tear my eyes away as Malcolm finished his speech. My hands trembled at my sides, my heart was a wild drumbeat in my chest. “Why, Malcolm? Why did you tell me? I have loved you right. But you deceived me, lied to me and acted like you wanted me.”The words repeated in my head, like a cruel chant that wouldn’t stop. “Why? Why?” The crowd was still clapping, and still celebrating, as the elders stepped onto the stage. They moved with solemn classiness, their long robes brushed against the wooden platform. With his head high and proud.One of them held a small silver bowl filled with a thick, golden oil. Another carried a ceremonial dagger, its blade glinting under the moonlight. I had seen this ritual before. It was the official passing of power. The moment Malcolm would no longer just be the Alpha’s son.No.From this moment on, he would be Alpha Malcolm Blackwood. “And

The Ultimate BetrayalDavina’s POV “Let all fall silent!”The elder’s voice cut through the celebration, sounding loud and commanding.The moment those words were spoken, everything stopped. Everyone stopped talking and refocused.The cheers, the music, the idle conversations were all gone in an instant. It was time for the next action. The moment I have been waiting for.I began to sweat, my heart was rising and falling steadily against my chest. I was nervous. I bet it wasn't just me, everyone was flashing their eyes in anticipation.Because this was it. The moment we all have been waiting for.The moment every she-wolf dreamed of.The moment the future Alpha would announce his mate and his Luna.And I knew, deep in my bones, that it wouldn't be me but it should be me.I was his mate. Destined by the moon goddess.I was the one he loved.I wrapped my arms around myself, as if that would somehow shield me from the fear curling inside me. My chest felt tight, and I struggled to take

Malcolm’s ApologyMalcolm’s POVI could still hear the cheers echoing behind me. The celebration was in full swing, laughter, and music were heard, but I wasn’t there. I couldn’t be.Not when she had run.Not when she was out there, hurting.Hurting because of me.I had been looking for a way to go see her since she ran out of the event. I knew my actions would hurt her so much. I was literally the only one she had in our pack. I understand her. With the little distraction I got, I decided to go look for her. At least make sure she's alright and probably explain things to her.I shoved past the pack members congratulating me, ignoring the hands that reached out to pat my shoulder, and the people calling my name.I didn’t care about any of it.I only cared about her.“Damn it, Davina.” I hope she forgives me. My legs burned as I ran, and my chest was tight with emotion and exhaustion. I had spent the entire ceremony keeping myself together, pretending like I couldn’t feel her pain or

The Pack's CrueltyDavina’s POVI could barely stand. My body was shaking, my stomach was also twisting seriously in pain, and the sour taste of vomit was still burning my throat. My knees felt weak, but I forced myself to straighten. I refused to let them see me like this. But the worst part was that I didn't know what was wrong with me. I wanted to run away but I couldn't.I had survived seeing my mate reject me, choose someone else as his mate and Luna, so why can't I survive hearing that they were going to mate? What the hell is going on with me?Through my pain, I could see people’s irritation; some were not even hiding it. I was hearing disgusting things about me. I don't really blame them though. I had acted up during the succession ceremony and now this?I tried not to give Lyra the satisfaction of seeing me or believing that I was hurt but I couldn't. I was hurting but it wasn't from what I heard but from whatever that was going on with me. In my body.But then, insults were
