LOGINNyra’s POVVanessa recoiled back into her shell almost immediately.I had never spoken to her that way before.But I was done being so soft to leeches that deserved my fury.Silas scoffed harshly.“You want to act like a victim? Fine. Go ahead.” His voice rose louder.The laugh I had been holding back finally escaped my lips.The hall stayed in silence until I had laughed to my fill.Before this amount of scrutiny would have had me running for the hills and they knew it but I had died… that shyness had nothing on me.“You are still playing this card?” I asked, stepping closer slowly to the twins' disapproval.“You mean I should have walked down the aisle to marry you even after discovering my fiancé had already fathered a child with my own sister?”His expression twisted as gasps once again filled the echoed silence.“That was in the past.”In my past life, two days after the wedding… two of them had approached me with very detailed information on their affair.I confronted Silas and
The hall fell silent.What was this rush I was feeling?Satisfaction?I couldn’t remember the last time I had done something that had made him as speechless as he looked now.There was no doubt that he could no longer recognize the woman standing before him.But this wasn’t enough though.All I wanted to do right now was to make him feel exactly how I had when I laid on that operating table.“Patience…” Serenx drawled.In due time.“Nyra…honey, let’s not do this in front of everyone.” Silas finally said, breaking the deafening silence. I almost burst out laughing.Upset?Was that what he thought this was all about?It was an understatement…I was furious and I could feel my burning rage rising from exactly where the goddess had touched me.The whispers that had once quieted down slowly stirred again.My eyes met dad and I subtly motioned for him not to interfere.This was exactly what I wanted… the whispers.Every noble in the hall was watching… practically salivating over the scanda

Nyra’s POV‘Why do I feel like there were a whole lot of things that had happened and…’“You have questions,” Serenyx’s voice echoed calmly in my mind, “and you will have your answers. But first… let’s give Silas a taste of what’s coming.”Her words boosted my morale.‘How?’ I asked.She chuckled softly, “You’re stronger than you think, Nyra. A phoenix doesn’t need to be taught how to burn”A phoenix?She didn’t answer me anymore as the grand halls were opened.The grand ceremonial hall was packed with all high profiled people from all over the region.From council elders to pack nobles and allies representatives.Every important set of eyes in Blood Moon territory and packs under us was present.Perfect for a showdown but still I had no idea of what to do.Slow entrance music began playing as we took steps towards where the devil himself stood.Heads turned and gasps followed suit.My eyes searched for Nessa’s and before she realized I had seen her, there was a frown on her face.In

Alaric’s POVOf all the things I could have imagined, the rogues attacking before we did was not part of the plan.“Alpha! The eastern gates are nearly breached!” A guard hurried to report, having run from the borders to me.We had only 500 men, I thought. I had sent Declan early this morning with
Alaric’s POVBut Zephyr was, of course, not going to dare. Instead, he stepped back, giving me a challenging look.“We shall see if you can hold up to your word, Alpha Alaric,” He said, then he turned away and disappeared down the hall, movements swift.I sneered, turning to return to my study.I d
Alaric’s POVHer indifference hurt a lot more than anything else ever could. Even though I could see it was all an act, I still knew that I had caused this.And fuck, that was a hard pill to swallow.My words seemed to have garnered a bit of a reaction.Though her back was to me, the tremor through
Aurora’s POV“I’ll need to think about it,” I said, my voice low.“Do. It would not be impossible for me, but I have a feeling the battle would be hard won if I go it alone,” Elder Miriam replied. Then she paused. “Ah, kt seems the Alpha has returned.”Immediately she said that, the door swung open
