Rosie's POVArriving at the castle brings back memories. I've always seen it from afar, heard of it, longed to be in, but never have I been this close to it.An awe wears me as the car we entered from the airport arrived in front of the palace.I can see some elders flocking around the castle gate, peeking and looking as though they expected some news. Maybe whenever the alpha goes out and comes back, he always comes with unexpected visitors.They chattered among themselves as their eyes were fixed on our car.The sun cast a warm glow over the compound's entrance, where a group of elders gathered at the gate.The air buzzed with excitement and uncertainty. Flowers and local symbols adorned the archway, a sign of welcome.I sat beside him, he seemed nervous, darting his gaze to and fro. We've been silent ever since we dropped from that plane.I smiled through the window as the elders straightened, eyes bright with anticipation a

Rosie's POV He glanced down at the spreading stain, then back at me, his gaze softening just enough for me to see the flicker of concern he'd tried to hide too. For a moment, we just stared at the spill, the world narrowed to the sound of our breathing until he grabbed the napkin to wipe it off. "Anelisa," he said, his voice low, almost a whisper, "You know I'd never… I mean, I'm not… I don't want you to think I'm…" He trailed off, like he was contemplating whether to complete the statement, and I just stared again. I wanted to reach out, to brush the stray lock of hair from his forehead, to tell him that the only thing I was scared of was the way my chest felt like it was about to burst every time he looked at me like that. Instead, I swallowed, feeling the taste of the soup on my tongue, and forced a shaky laugh. "You're such a mess, Ha

AXEL'S POV “Yes Alpha Axel.” I didn't care whether or not they were happy with my arrangement, what I wanted was to get to Pink, she would be gone for a week and I don't have an idea about how I would survive without her around. I could no longer feel that nagging urge to shift, but at this moment I was more like my wolf side than human as I stormed up the staired, down the hallway, searching desperately for the woman who I have chosen as my mate. Hazel isn’t on the second floor, but her scent was almost everywhere there— teasing me from every corner. I took the stairs two at a time and stormed into my office without bothering to knock but I was up for a rude shock. She wasn't there. I began to wonder how her scent was all over but it seemed as if only me could scent it everywhere. I could all it paranoia but I threw open each door that I passed by until I finally arrived before my bedroom door. Hazel's scent was stronger in here, and I closed my eyes as I inhaled it in. She s

HAZEL'S POV The next morning, my body felt really sore as if I had indulged in hours of pleasure, and despite how I tried to tempt Axel, his restraints were still out of this world- he still didn't let us go past the final steps but I knew within me that if he chosen to mark me and claim me as his, I would have been tempted to stay behind with him. As I opened my eyes, I was laying next to him, his brows were furrowed in his sleep making me wonder what he might be dreaming of but one thing for sure- it wasn't a good dream. Thinking he was in a deep sleep state, I slowly got out of bed, my eyes glanced at the curtains, it was still dark outside meaning it wasn't dawn yet. I crept to his wardrobe, picking a jeans that I had placed there in advance and a couple of his shirts. I had taken a shower the night before, but I sniffed myself a few times for good measure. I wasn't sure how long I might be away, but I needed something to remember him by. “Pink-” A groan came from him, halti

HAZEL'S POV Luther’s wolf also moved at the same time, there was a blur of grey as he slammed into one of the incoming rogues. Everything after became a blur, the ground shook, various claws tore through fur causing blood to splatter all over, while the sound of wolves fighting filled the air. My heart was beating wildly in my chest.I had never seen a wolf fight like this, most of the ones I've experienced were mostly during sparring. It was usually intended but none of them had a genuine intent to kill. As Lucas latched his jaw around one of the rouges that attacked us, I grabbed onto his fur tighter, pushing my body low against his back to prevent myself from falling off. He latched his jaws around the rogue’s shoulder, pulled it out of it's shocked and threw it aside like it didn't weigh anything. A wolf howl filled the clearing, it was one filled with pain. Another rogue lunged from the side and Lucas turned around sharply but he moved too fast so my I lost my grip on him a
