LOGINDamien's POV:Damien wiped the smile off his face as the doors to the council hall swung open and he walked in.The moment he entered the hall, every conversation instantly died down. Then, almost as though they were all one smooth, well-oiled machine, all the elders rose to their feet and bowed."My Alpha." Their voices echoed in unison through the large chamber that housed the most important meetings of the Viscount pack.Damien inclined his head at them as he kept on walking towards the head of the circular table in the middle of the hall, "Be seated," he ordered.But they only sat down after he reached the large carved chair that was specifically reserved for the Alpha. Besides the chair, was a new chair, one that was adorned with gleaming platinum.Damien had it made specifically for Nyssa. He would show it to her later, but now, he needed to officiate the meeting.With his hands clasped together, he slowly swept his eyes across the room.There were twelve elders seated around th
Blade’s POV:“I need to find the traitor, and I need to find them soon.” Blade whispered through gritted teeth as he began to walk through the estate.The moment he was about to get into full view of the entire estate. He stopped for a moment, then straightened his shoulders before stepping forward.The bright afternoon sun greeted him as he walked past a couple of guards manning their stations."Good afternoon." They all greeted him with a bow,Blade nodded casually at them. He walked past them with a straight expression on his face, but for just a split second, his eyes darted towards them. Searching, and seeking for any sign that could point to a spy.He found nothing. Blade frowned, he was just about to walk past them when a young wolf warrior hurried over to his side."Beta Blade,” he called out in a respectful tone, “Is the training at dawn tomorrow still happening?”Blade’s frown deepened, “Of course it is,” he answered, obviously offended, “None of you are slacking off, no matt
Blade’s POV:"A traitor?"Those words sounded far too strange for Blade. He was so shocked that the words left his lips before he could even stop them. Blade shook his head, his eyes directed straight at Damien. He was looking, searching for any sigh in Damien’s expression that this could be some kind of joke.He was looking for something, anything, even a smirk, or twitch would work. But no matter how hard he searched, he found nothing.The Alpha of Viscount Pack, and Blade’s best friend, stood in front of him with the same calm expression he wore before making the most important decisions of his life.“-we have a traitor in our midst.”Blade thought over Damien’s words once again before shaking his head. No, that wasn’t possible, that shouldn’t.“No,” Blade looked up and met Damien’s eyes, “There is no traitor in the pack.”His tone was firm, but it wasn’t filled with disbelief. No, Blade was pleading. The pack was the family, his, and the fact that anyone would ever try to betray th
Damien's POV:A traitor in my pack? How?After Nyssa had told me about her vision, the thought of there being a traitor in my midst refused to leave my mind. The thought of being betrayed by a pack member now echoed in every thought I had.Nyssa's vision had not frightened me because Adrian had killed me at the end. No, I did not fear death. Nor did I fear an attack from outside the walls of my pack.What I did fear though, was an attack from within, from my own wolves. Now that I knew what was going to happen, I was going to make sure it never did.I would never allow that, not now, not ever."Damien?" Nyssa's hesitant but soft voice gently pulled me back to the present.I blinked, realizing that I had once again gotten lost in my thoughts. We were still standing in the warehouse. And now that Lyra had left, the workers had all returned to their duties.Only a handful remained nearby. My mate looked up at me with furrowed brows and a tiny bit of concern in her eyes.“Are you okay?” sh
Lyra's POV:Lyra felt giddy.For the first time in months, she was so happy, she could not stop her grin.That look of shock on Nyssa's face was worth it. It had been worth every single humiliation she had suffered. Every night she had gone to bed with tears in her eyes, every rage she had ever felt.It was all worth it just to see that expression of shock on Nyssa’s face.Lyra felt so giddy that she nearly busted out laughing. She had expected Nyssa to hide back her emotions like she always did. And even with all the disrespectful tones and words she had been using ever since she showed up, Nyssa had not fallen for the bait, and the more silent Nyssa got, the more Lyra found herself losing patience.So, she had dropped the bombshell earlier than she had expected to. And she was glad she did. WThis felt like a victory. Even though it was small, it was still the very first victory Lyra had gotten from Nyssa from the night she changed. She kept her smug smile on her face for a couple mo
Nyssa's POV:Lyra? How? I shook my head, trying to clear my eyes, because for a brief moment, I genuinely thought I was imagining things, and she was some sort of hallucination. But after she kept on walking towards me, I was forced to accept the fact that she really was here. Lyra walked towards us with a surprising confidence in her steps.In just a couple of days, she had changed. There was something in her aura that wasn't there just a couple of days ago. She was wearing a navy business suit that fit her perfectly. She also had a leather briefcase tucked beneath one arm.My brows furrowed as I watched her get closer to us. I really had not expected that there would be a representative here, but even if I had expected it, Lyra would have been my very last guess. Her appearance wasn't just a surprise to me, it also startled Damien. I noticed him straightening up and getting ready to step closer to me. Through our bond, I felt a pulse of suspicion passing through him before it se
Lyra's POV:Nyssa wasn’t picking up. For the past couple of weeks, even though her best friend had been acting possessed, she at least believed she would pick up a call.But no matter how much she called, it was left to ring till the end. At first, she didn’t think much of it. People missed calls e
I had not realized just how badly I was shaking until he pulled back just enough to look at me. His hands were still wrapped around me, one at my waist, and the other steadying my back, but now, his eyes had begun to scan my face, and then, slowly, he began to search my body for any scars or anythi
Damien’s POV:The moment her car disappeared over the horizon, the world felt different. The world had become muted, not because the city had gone silent, but because she was no longer there, by my side.I stood outside the restaurant for a few seconds than was necessary, my gaze still focused on t
Nyssa’s POV: The moment my lips met his, everything else disappeared.The city, the noise and the weight of everything else I was feeling, all of it was gone. All I could feel — no, all I wanted to feel – was him. Damien’s lips were warm against mine and this time, they were both firm and careful,
