Alpha Bran’s POV ‘We are seven hours away from their camp.’Seven hours.Hope surged inside me.If we maintain this pace we would reach the Rogue camp before midnight. And we would be able to save Serafine. Ryker pushed forward, increasing his pace as Aric's wolf ran beside me.Then suddenly, two scents hit me. One was familiar. The other wasn't yet. The first belonged to Dark Mountain Pack members.Could Lupin and the warriors have caught up with us already?But then a third scent hit me. Danger.I slowed immediately. Aric sensed it too. His ears flattened. ‘Bran’‘I know.’ I linked back.We weren't alone in the forest.Suddenly, dozens of wolves burst from behind the trees, surrounding us.My wolf snarled.Aric's hackles rose.A large gray wolf stepped forward.His scent immediately identified him. The head captain of Dark Mountain warriors.Behind him stood more warriors. Some belonged to Dark Mountain Pack. Others wore the scent of the Council.I growled in full rage, the sound

Alpha Bran's POVThe road stretched ahead. Trees blurred past the windows as I pushed the car harder and harder. The speedometer kept climbing. I didn't care. As long as I get to Serafine on time. Every second she stayed in the enemy's hands was another second closer to her death.I gripped the steering wheel so tightly that the leather creaked underneath my fingers. Beside me, Aric was busy mindlinking people.After a long silence, he finally spoke. "I've contacted the Gammas."My eyes remained fixed on the road. "Good. Are they on their way slready?""They're coming with the elite warriors."A small measure of relief settled in my chest. At least someone was doing their job.Aric continued. "They won't be coming by car.""Why?""They're coming in their wolf form."That made sense. A wolf could move much faster through forests and rough terrain than a vehicle. And they would not be easily noticed by the enemy."But..." Aric hesitated.I looked at him. "What is it?""Only one of the

Alpha Bran’s POV "WHERE IS SHE?!”Blood dripped from his mouth. "Alpha—"“WHERE IS MY MATE?!" I roared.The guards took nervous steps backward. My wolf was completely out of control. And I could smell their fear.Aric swallowed hard before answering, "She was taken—"My grip tightened in his collar. "Taken?"His voice became strained. "By rogues."A roar tore out of me. The sound echoed through the entire pack house. Birds burst from nearby trees. Windows rattled. The guards froze in horror.I threw Aric away and his body crashed into the ground."YOU LOST HER?""Alpha—""I GAVE YOU ONE JOB!" My wolf surged forward. Fur erupted along my arms. Claws extended.The guards stumbled backward in fear. My vision had turned red. My claws tore through one of the guards throat and blood sprayed across the ground.The other guards didn't dare scream or run away. They wouldn't have been able to because they would already be dead before they could. They knew it quite well and remained silent.

Alpha Bran's POVSomething was wrong. The feeling had been clawing at me ever since Serafine disappeared into the storm.I tried to ignore it and told myself she would be found soon. I told myself Aric would bring her back safely. And that she was safe. But as the hours dragged by, every lie I told myself shattered one after another.I paced back and forth across my room like a caged beast. My wolf wouldn't stop growling.Neither would my instincts. Every fiber of my being screamed that something terrible had happened.I stopped beside the window and looked outside. There was no sign of Serafine. No sign of Aric. Or the guards I sent out with him to bring my mate back.I opened the mindlink to reach Aric for the ninetieth time. And still couldn't reach him.A dangerous growl rumbled from my chest. I tried again. And was still blocked.My heart began pounding harder.This wasn't right. Aric wouldn't block me out when he was carrying out my order. Something must be wrong. I pushed anot

Saskia's POV The rogue king turned toward his men. "Take Saskia to the guest tent to rest. Make sure she's properly fed." He turned to me and continued, “She's our guest, so take good care of her until she returns.”Guest? Return?Did he really not feel that I was his mate? "The full moon is at midnight. Is everything ready?" He asked the boss."Everything is ready, Alpha."“Good. You all can leave now.” He said.One of the men stepped toward me.I shook my head instantly. "I'm not going."Everyone looked at me, including the rogue king."I want to stay." I added. The rogue King's eyebrow lifted slightly. My eyes locked onto his. "I want to talk to you."The rogue king gestured with his hand for the men to leave without me. The three men bowed again and left with the boss still carrying Serafine in his arms.Only the rogue king and I were left in the tent.He looked at me from head to toe."I know what you want to ask..." His dark eyes lifted to my face. "Mate."I gasped.So he k

Saskia's POVThe handsome stranger stared at me for a few seconds before his attention shifted toward the man who had brought us here.To my surprise, all three immediately lowered their heads in a bow.My eyes widened. The handsome man standing before me was the rogue king? The man who was my second chance mate was Simon Thorne?My mouth parted in disbelief.Every rumor I had ever heard described the rogue king as an old ugly man who was a monster hiding in the shadows.A ruthless King feared by everyone and cursed by the moon goddess herself. Yet the man standing before was a young energetic man. He was devastatingly handsome. The most handsome man I had ever seen. And he was my second-chance mate.I felt dizzy. It all seemed unreal to me. The Moon Goddess had truly given me another chance. A second mate. A future.Everything I had lost because of Bran suddenly felt insignificant. Looking at the rogue king made something inside me to shift.Bran's face appeared briefly in my mind,
