Her lips parted as if she wanted to say something but she closed them again.She blinked with fear and uncertainty written all over the lines of her beautiful face.My wolf and I decided to put her out of the misery of making a decision by stepping forward and wrapping my arms around her.I pulled her into my chest and she froze in my arms. I had expected her to push me away but to my surprise she relaxed into me. I used that opportunity to rest my head on her shoulder, breathing in her scent.It was sweet and soothing. It sank into my chest like a rush of warmth after a winter’s storm, calming my aching heart.My wolf let out a low, content growl inside my head.Mate She lifted her arms and wrapped them around me.

XAVIER'S POVDarcy was lost in her thoughts as she took a stroll back and forth on the trail at the front yard of the palace grounds. I came to look for her after Lucian hinted to me that she might have stayed back because of me. My wolf was overly excited, thinking maybe our kiss last night must have made her change her mind about me.“Darcy,” I called as I walked toward her. She stopped and turned to me with a frustrated look. “What do you want?” I was a bit taken back by her reaction which I should be, considering how she has been treating me. But thinking that she stayed behind to give us a chance, I thought she would be nicer.I cleared my throat and started, “I thought you were going to leave with your parents. Why did you stay back?”“I stayed back to protect my sister from yours. I wouldn't want my sister to lose her life because of your sister's obsession." She folded her arms.Shoving my hands in my pocket, I stepped closer to her. “Is that the only reason?” “Yes.” She g

LUCIAN’S POVAs I stepped out of the main door, some guards requested to accompany me, but I refused. This was a journey I needed to make alone.I drove out of the palace gate, following the map in the back page of the Seer's guidebook. My mother's handwriting filled its margins, guiding me to the place where the rest of our kind resided; the House of the Seers of Ardyth.The map led me to an old house in the outskirts of the main city. As I approached the Ancient house, I felt an omniscient presence which was familiar to that of my mother. I took a deep breath and knocked.Moments later, the door creaked open, revealing a frail woman with gray hair and eyes that glowed faintly gold; the mark of true vision.A male figure who was older with a stronger golden glow in his eyes came up behind her. “You have come far, young wolf,” the woman said in a soft voice. “Why are you here? Who sent you?”I reached into my jacket pocket and brought out my mother’s sapphire necklace, the one she alw

XAVIER'S POVBack to the present time“What are you doing here? Get out,” I raised my voice at her.Though my father insisted on letting the matter go, I still couldn't bring myself to look at my sister in the face. All I couldn't think of was how much pain Jared must have experienced before he died and how Talia lived without a guilty conscience.She stood up and walked toward me with a pleading look on her face. “I know you hate me more than anything right now and don't want to see me, but I'm really sorry.”Tears rolled down her cheeks as she spoke. “I felt guilty every single day for what I did and thought many times to tell you the truth, but I was scared you would hate me.”“You killed someone just because he was your mate, Talia.” I moved closer to her and raised my voice. “What were you thinking?”“I wasn't thinking straight. I just wanted to be Lucian, but now I regret everything.” She sniffed. “I should have just accepted the Moon goddess' decision for me and learned to love

LUCIAN’S POVThe next morning began with tension already coiling in my stomach. I sat in King Aldric's office with Xavier, sealed ancient scrolls scattered across the round table and history searches about shapeshifter witches displayed on the big screen. We knew how to expose Elira but had no idea how to go about it.While I was going through some books, my phone rang on the table and I grabbed it to see that it was Rowan calling.“Hello,” I answered immediately, hoping to get something good from them.“I have some good news,” he started and I put it on speaker. “The King of Meridara is willing to work with us to take Lunaroria back and he is sending 5000 warriors to back us up. I'll be coming back with the Prince of Meridara who has a vast knowledge about witches and has secretly spent some time in Umbraeth.”I nodded. “That's great. Express my utmost gratitude to His Majesty.” “I will.” He hung up the call and I glanced up at King Aldric.“We will have to prepare space for 5 thou
