It was like Favian knew what was going to happen. It was like he saw it and told me about it. How can it be?When I raised my head, Coral and Nathan were sitting down. I could swear that they were not going to come back after what happened last night, and after Favian warned them not to talk about it again, but they never listened. " What are you two doing here?" I asked." You have no right to question my guest; I was the one who invited them here," His mother said. I looked at Fabian, but he did not make a move; he stood there as he watched me, expecting me to say something or do something, but it seemed like my legs were tied to the ground, and my tongue seized as well. I looked at him again, I saw that anger in his face. Like he was going to yell at me for standing there and not saying anything. " Why would you do such a thing? They have no business coming into this house; why would you bring them here? I do not want to ever see them here again" I yelled. It was the first tim

The house looked like I had just poured silence on it. This silence hit everywhere after Nathan and Coral had gone. I was once defended again and it made me feel good. I was happy that someone could raise his voice to save me. I woke up that morning feeling all my body in one piece. I touched the bed, this was one thing that stood out as well. I frowned when I remembered the activities of the previous day. I got up and slowly walked out of the room. I did not want to be the one who would make the noise. I silently walked to the sitting room where there seemed to be a lot of tension between Favian and his mother. My heart skipped. Maybe I must have slept so deeply that I did not hear them argue. I knew they were arguing and it seemed it was about me. I could tell that, I could tell from the way his mother looked at me.I hated it, it made me feel like I was the reason for all her misfortune. " Good morning," I managed to say. I wanted it to be as loud as possible but it only c

The soft fabric of the dress caressed my skin as I walked through the grand hall, my arm linked with Favian’s. I had never worn anything this beautiful in my life. The gown was a deep emerald green, shimmering under the soft lights as if it were alive. I felt elegant, powerful, like someone worth admiring. It was a far cry from the ragged woman I had been only days ago.Favian’s hand gripped mine gently, but there was a firmness to it, and it made me feel safe. This was no ordinary night, it was my introduction to the world as his mate, as Luna of the Furbloom Pack. My heart pounded in my chest as we stepped further into the crowd, where Alphas and Lunas from far and wide had gathered. They watched us with curious eyes, whispers buzzing like bees as we made our way to the center of the grand event.I could feel their eyes on me, but tonight, for the first time in a long while, I didn’t feel small or ashamed. I felt proud.When we reached the stage, Favian’s grip on my hand tightened,

When I opened my eyes, the first thing I noticed was the softness beneath me. The mattress cradled my aching body, and for a moment, I thought I was still dreaming. Then the memories of last night came crashing back… being cast out, stumbling through the woods, the bar, the drunken men... and the wolf. I shot upright in bed, my heart pounding in my chest. I wasn’t in the woods, and I certainly wasn’t in that grimy bar. Instead, I found myself in a large, luxurious room. The walls were painted a soothing cream color and adorned with elegant paintings and expensive-looking decorations. A plush, velvet armchair sat near the window, and the scent of freshly cooked food wafted from a table in the center of the room.I looked down at myself and realized my tattered dress was gone. In its place was a soft, silken robe that draped over my body. Someone had changed me while I was unconscious. I started to panic.Where am I? Who brought me here?I pushed the thick blankets aside and slipped ou

The moment the sun broke over the horizon, I was dragged out of the gates of the Moonbeam Pack like a traitor. The cold morning air bit at my skin, but nothing compared to the chill inside me. I stumbled forward, my bare feet scraping against the rough ground, but I didn’t look back. What was there to see? The place I had once called home had betrayed me. My mate had rejected me, and now I was alone. “Rowena!” I snapped around the moment I heard Nathan’s voice. He had finally come to his senses. “Nathan, why did you allow them to do this to me? You’ve always known that I’m innocent, so why did you let me suffer?” I sobbed, wanting to run into his arms, but the ropes that bound my hands held me back. Not to mention, I felt very weak. “The only reason I’m letting you get exiled is because my father loved you. Otherwise, you would have gotten the death sentence! Never step foot in this pack, else, I would kill you with my bare hands!” He growled, and the mad look in his eyes ma

I stood in the corner of the courtyard, watching the pack celebrate under the silver moonlight. It should have been a special night, our first anniversary. I should have been proud and happy to be standing by Nathan’s side, but instead, I felt invisible, as I always did. Nathan hadn’t looked at me once, not since the night started. His eyes were constantly on Coral, laughing with her, leaning in to hear her every word. The sight twisted something deep inside me, but I bit my tongue and tried to ignore it. Nathan wouldn’t do me like that, right?For a year, I had lived like this. Ever since we were mated, Nathan had been distant and cold. He didn’t want me, and he didn’t bother to pretend otherwise. But his father, Alpha George, had insisted that we be joined, and Nathan had obeyed out of duty. Not love. Never love. I kept telling myself that things would change, that Nathan would see me one day, see me as more than a burden he had to carry because of his father’s dying wish. See me a

Lyra's POV I crawled out of my room and got into his room. I was lucky that the door was open and I could go inside. I saw that he was on the floor as well, I had no idea why he was on the floor but I saw the blood coming out of his nose and I knew he was having another episode. I cringed at the sight of his blood, and was even more upset that he was hiding such a terrible thing from me, and he thinks I do not deserve to know what was going on with him, which I find very disturbing. " What are you doing here?" He spoke slowly. He was getting weak as well. " Tell me what is going on, you are leaving me in the dark" I said. I was hurting but that was not the only thing going on with me. I was hearing voices in my head, I thought it was some kind of reaction to something but I was wrong, I was hearing a man's voice in my head, crying out from pain. I do not know who it was and it did not sound like Alpha Kael, it was not close, yet I could hear it. I knew it was connected to him

Lyra's POV I could feel everything that was going on in the building. The way the maids looked at me, the guards were no different. No one treated me with kindness, they looked at me like something was wrong with me. Like I had made the biggest mistake of my life by coming to this place. I understand that they are hurt that my pack killed their people and they must have lost a family member, but this marriage was done so the killings does not continue. " Can you help me out with the water?" I asked one of the maids. My bath water was always set for me by my assistant, I never had to do it, but since I got here, I've had to handle that and I was not comfortable with it. " Why should I? You have been doing it, I guess you can continue" she said coldly to me.I stood there, looking at her, there was nothing I could do and there was no one I could report to as well. Keal was never going to look at me twice, he was disgusted by my sight the last time I was in his room. He said I rem

Kael's POVI got out of the bathroom and just like I had asked her to get ready for me. She was right there in bed. It was the first time I was seeing her skin, her shoulders as well. She was putting on a sleeveless top which had her shoulders visible. I stood there, imagining what was going to be underneath the duvet which she was using to cover herself." I've been waiting," she said. " As you should," I said to her. She must never know that I find her attractive, it was wrong and should never be made known. " Give me a minute," I said. I walked into the closet with my towel and grabbed the tissues that were on the shelf and rubbed off the blood that had threatened to show its ugly self. I wonder how long I was going to cope with this. They said Lyra has healing powers, I have to make sure I am cured of this ailment. I can not continue like this, it feels like my life is getting shorter by the day. I wiped it clean and went back to Lyra on the bed, she was still waiting there

Lyra's POV The Pack was having a loud celebration of our marriage. Father was very excited about it, it felt like he had done something that he has always wanted to do. I was seated next to my supposed husband and Aloha, it made my stomach ache and I hated to be there. I would have sat next to my father, but the pack elders were going to kick against it. I saw how the food and drinks went about the place and how fast things were going in my eyes. Kael and I have not said much ever since we returned from the river. The day has gone back to normal but I was still unsettled about what it was that was going on. My wolf has been quiet ever since I returned to my room. I had tried to engage her in a conversation but she had refused to say anything. Maybe she was shocked at what had happened and she was only taking her time to reflect on what it was. " You do not look well to me" I heard Kael say. I was surprised that he would speak to me. Of course I was not well, everything that wa

Karl's POV I walked into the gathering that was waiting for me. It was no longer only the council members that were present, the rest of the Pack members were there as well. I could see the members of my pack there too. I looked around and noticed that Princess Lyra was not yet here. I wondered if she was always this late to every gathering or she was just trying to piss me off right now. I stood in front of the burning fire as I waited for her to join me there. It was at the Moon fire altar, a very sacred one, it is not always used, except in cases like this and it was always a dangerous affair. The small chants from the crowd made me turn and there she was. I was upset that she had kept me waiting but I was startled by how pretty she looked, I could not deny that part. I turned and faced the fire. She stood beside me and said nothing. There was no apology and that made me cringe at how disrespectful she is going to be. I doubt I would allow that. " Thank you everyone for joi

Lyra's POV My heart was beating so fast, it began to get tightened and I could not place my hands on what was wrong. I figured it was because of the meeting with the Crimson Fang Empire, I was going to see their Alpha for the first time. Father never allowed me to leave the pack or go to the war front to fight, so I barely knew what he looked like. A knock came to my door, I got up and rushed to it. " What is it?" I asked my assistant. She was always in my face and I knew this day was not for chitchat. It was for something important. " They have arrived and are waiting for you," she said.She opened the door wider and got into my room. " You need to get your face lit up, and even your jewelry, were you planning on going there looking like that!" She looked at me. " Of course not," I said to her. Even though it was a big fat lie, I never want to do this or be a part of this marriage. I want to show them how unhappy I was with everything going on." Wear this, and hold this in

She stared into his eyes for a long while. " You are here because she said no to you? You want me now because she turned you down? What if she had accepted to be with you?" She asked him, never taking her eyes off him." That's not the point, I got to realize that you are the one who truly loved me and I am not ready to lose that. Ava made her choice already, she wants to be with Chris and that's her decision. You are the one I want to be with right now" he said. He went closer to her as he kissed her neck, he closed his eyes and wished on the day this will end. " Okay then, I have been waiting for you to get back to me, I am the only woman you should be with, and I miss how you usually touch me" she said. She ran her fingers all over his body as she went for his lips and kissed him so hard, like a hungry animal who has not eaten for days. Caleb was struggling to catch his breath, but she wouldn't give him space as her lips dominated all of his. She pushed him to the wall as she

Caleb was as confused as hell, he wanted Ava but it was almost impossible to get her right now. He imagined Chris being the one with her for the rest of their lives. " Shitttt" he slammed the door and broke the glass cup he was holding. " This can not be happening to me, what wrong did I do? What did I do that can not be forgiven?" He yelled as he fell on his bed with his face down. He was in so much pain that he did not notice that he was bleeding and the blood had already stained the bed. " Oh God" he said as he saw the stain on the bed. He got out of his room, and asked the maid to get another sheet on his bed, and another to come treat his wounds. He sat there thinking of what to do, if he was going to give in to Ava's wishes or let his daughter's life be in danger. He figured that maybe Ava will let him come close to his daughter if he stays with Sophia for now. " I'm done," the maid said. He stood up and went back to the bedroom, another sheet had been placed there. He

Caleb walked into his office and got a message from Dave that he had someone waiting for him in his office. He expected it to be some business associates but got to see that it was Ava, he wondered why Dave did not just tell him straight away that Ava was the one in his office. He got in and ran his eyes all over her, he wished he could touch her and maybe hold her waist and say little dirty things in her ears. " Caleb, I have come for something serious" she pulled out a chair and sat down, she did not wait for him to ask her to sit. " What is it?" He pulled out his chair and sat down as well. " I want to believe that you are going to the court to get shared custody of my child because you have a little care in your heart for her even though I have no idea why you want to do that" she rolled her eyes. Caleb could feel the irritation from where he sat and he wondered if there would be any chance for him to come back to her. " I do care about her very much," he said. " That is no

Chris felt like he was being pushed to the side and not being involved in what was going on with her, even though they were both in the same house but it never felt like it. " Ava, what's going on with you, I had no idea that you went to see Mr. Taylor, you know how dangerous he is and you went there alone? What were you thinking?" He said. She stood near the window and had her eyes outside, looking at the grasses there. " I had to do that alone, it was important that I went there alone," she responded. He did not like the idea that she now does things alone and not tell him where she was, what she was doing and whom she was going to see." I am not okay with it, I need to know what you are doing so I can know that you are safe and so I know how to protect you" he said.She sighed as she turned and faced him. " I know I have not been telling you everything, and it has been a big concern to you, but this particular one, I had to do it alone, and I did not tell you because you woul

She walked into the house wearing a huge frown on her face. " I wonder why he wants me at the house so badly, we could have just spoken over the phone and there won't be a need to come down here" she said as she walked to her father's favourite place. She stood by the door as she rolled her eyes at him. " Father, tell me what the problem is," she said. He looked at her and shook his head. " Where have you been and what have you been up to?" He asked her. " You know the answer to that already, don't you? I was having a meeting with my team members on how to get Ava and her little thing out of my sight, you should know that already" she said. Her father felt kind of irritated with her response. " You do not do other things lately? Like a job or something? Like to get busy with something important other than focusing and wasting your time on Ava and some insignificant child?" He raised his eyebrows at her as he spoke. Her jaw dropped, she was not expecting her father to say thos

She got there, stood at the building and looked at all the money they had gathered from doing illegal business and they still want to come after her like their hands are so clean and can not do much. She walked in and sat down, she noticed how the maids' eyes won't leave her and how everyone seemed to be busy doing something around her while their eyes were all over her. " Do not worry, I am not here to steal anything, you all can go ahead and mind your business" she said. But they never adhered to anything that she said. They continued to look at her, and she felt she was being monitored over something. She began to hear footsteps coming down from the stairs, she raised her head and saw Mr. Taylor. She also noticed the sad look on his face, but that brought smiles to her face instead of worry. She was about to do anything that would make him sad, depressed and end up dying. " What brings you here?" He asked her as he sat opposite her. " What do you think I am here for?" She
