CLAYTON’S POVYou could cut the tension with a knife, and yet my mate looked unbothered. We were all unsure about what pissing off Simiyan meant, but Azalea couldn’t care less. She was standing by her decisions.“You have nothing to say to me?” Simiyan asked her.“I have plenty to say, but I don’t think you want to hear any of it,” Azalea retorted.“Try me,” Simiyan challenged.“I’ll lead with the simplest one. She’s not evil,” Azalea stated.Simiyan scoffed. “Right. She just does evil things.”“And this is exactly what I’m talking about. I’m not going to defend anything because as much as you want me to try, you’re not willing to listen,” Azalea argued.“You don’t know what she and I have been through, despite whatever little fairy tale she sold you,” Simiyan icily attacked.“True, but I stand by what I said. For as long as you’re only willing to believe your version of truths, you won’t care about what I truly have to say,” Azalea doubled down.It was a new thing for the majority of

CLAYTON'S POV“It must be a result of having your mom here,” I responded.While his Nomad self had been sloppy in attacking, his beast wasn’t making any mistakes, and unfortunately that meant Azalea and I were getting our asses handed to us. It wasn’t long before we too shifted.And now that we were aware of some of the powers we had, we were a lot stronger even in our shifted forms.However, you could see where King Aragon’s years of experience came in, as well as him being more in tune with the powers he has. Despite fighting two powerful Lycans, he held his own, inflicting enough damage on us.But he was also slowing down.I don’t know if the anger was wearing away, or if he was getting tired, but he was slowing down, which allowed us to attack him more. We weren’t going for blood, but instead we were wearing him out even faster.When he stopped attacking, we shifted. He thumped onto the floor, still in his Lycan form, while we got dressed in the clothes in the cabinet in the room.

“If it is even remotely true, then that also means she’s found a way to hide her aura because when I said she wasn’t there, I said it because I couldn’t find her aura anywhere close,” Greier commented.Thinking about what she was saying had me slightly shaken, and a little more confused than before. If I was right, then Alyx was around when we went to save my mother. Hell, she was probably around when I was in that room.Except why would she let us take my mother?If her aim this entire time has been to harm my father, why let us take the trump card she’s held over him this entire time? What does she gain from it, and what does that mean for us now?Before we could analyse it further, Thane spoke up. “Uh guys, not to break the mood or anything, but there’s apparently a fight going on outside this room.”“What do you mean?” Clayton asked him.“I just got a link saying that there’s tension between the two groups outside. They don’t want Greier’s people here,” Thane explained.“Not that

CLAYTON’S POV“Report?” my father asked.“They’re coming from the direction of the castle, so we can confirm that it’s Eligor and his army. There hasn’t been any movement from the Forgotten Lands,” his man reported.My father nodded. “Take to the skies and stay there waiting for my command.”“And Isaiah?” the man asked.“Tell him to stay where he is,” my father replied.The man nodded before leaving. “What’s going on Hunter?”“Like Theo just said, Eligor is headed this way with his army. There’s no word from Alyx’s side,” my father replied.I was about to ask a question when my mind link was prodded. “CLAYTON!”“Simoa?” I asked.“Yes, it’s me. Where is your mate?” she asked.“She’s here with me. Why?” I countered.“Eligor is on his way. I have been trying to let her know, but I haven’t been able to reach her,” she huffed.I turned to my mate. “Love, is there anything going on with your link to Simoa?”I heard the murmuring, but I didn’t care for it as my mate scowled. “I can’t feel he

CLAYTON’S POV“Avril and Valencia were my closest friends. Lost as I was, I thought if I went to explain myself to them, they’d understand, but I underestimated Eligor’s spell. They really had no idea who I was, and the changing faces and my changed form weren’t helpful. That’s when I realized that I needed to learn how to control the faces and my body.”Azalea was crying beside me, and I put my arm around her. “Where was Eligor during all this?”“I didn’t want anything to do with him, and he agreed to give me my space. However, in that time apart, I realized that my love for him was turning to hatred. Every time he checked in on me, he would let me know about his efforts to undo what he’d done, but I’d already lost too much. Being with him didn’t feel like something I wanted to do anymore, so I kept to myself. One thing I got through our mating is some of his powers, and I used them to travel the dimensions, learning as much as I could about what they knew about shapeshifters. I also
