Mac - POVWhere the heck did those witches disappear to, anyway? They usually stay in the woodland. The town looked deserted. I sniffed the air around me and caught the scent of a single witch. Following the trail, I arrived at an old, craggy cottage.With caution, I partially opened the door and entered the room. "Who are you?" an elderly witch inquired."I'm from Silver Canine's pack. My Alpha needs help," I stated, observing the frail-looking woman and doubting her ability to assist. "By the way, where have all the witches gone?""The Dark Angels' warning frightened everyone," she whispered."I'm sorry, who are they? I've never heard of them," I admitted."Please take a seat," she instructed, and I complied."If all the other witches left town, why didn't you?" I asked. She smiled at my curiosity."The Dark Angels don't scare me," the elderly witch said as she poured me a cup of tea. "How should I address you?""Mac Coates.""My name is Emily. By the way, why are you here?" she inqu
Silas - POVI sat opposite Drake after I asked Elena to step out of Jake's hunting mission. "Why did you support me? Don't hate me," I asked."I do, but I don't want Elena to get in trouble," Drake said calmly."What is it that you need to speak about?" I asked."I need to confess about my presence, and the reason I am telling you is to work alongside you to protect Elena," I glared at him incrementally; why is he so interested in my mate?"Why is my mate your concern?" I asked, trying to suppress Ray from surfacing."Elena Hayes is my promised bride," his words made me furious, but I had to calm my anger to get this asshole to speak the whole story."You're holding it together well for a wolf; I thought you would throw a punch in my face by now," Drake smirked at me."Don't push it, Drake, you might get one." Drake sighed at me, but I could see that my words had even pissed him off."Elena's mother asked my father for protection. I don't know exactly what she wanted protection for, El
Elena - POVMy heart raced, and my grip tightened on the steering wheel as I caught sight of the wolf. It was much larger than any ordinary wolf, its menacing canines dripping with saliva as it snarled at me. Silas darted in front of my car in a split second with inhuman speed, his garments tearing and transforming into fur. Silas morphed into the wolf standing before me, growling at the other wolves. The three smaller wolves seemed intimidated by Silas's enormous black fur. I gasped, horrified, as I witnessed Silas's wolf viciously slash at the other wolves, blood, and fur flying as he tore them apart. It was like something out of a horror film.I shouldn't have taken that detour on my way to the shooting range, but I had to go there because I couldn't find my backpack, which I believed had Jake's old iPad inside. If I could find some of Jake's acquaintances and get their addresses, I could figure out where Jake went and why he sought revenge against me. I deeply regret that decision
Silas - POV"Alpha," Emma said, and I fixed my gaze on her. "Did you hear what we just asked you?" Emma asked, mildly irritated because I had zoned out."Repeat; you have my attention," I added."Alpha, the Pack has been waiting for you to have Luna secure the Pack with an heir," Emma remarked warily. "So the Pack members and Elders have agreed that you should accept another she-wolf as a Luna while rejecting your human mate?" A scowl spread across my face at Emma's request."Please calm down, Son," Freya said, but Ray took control over me, refusing to let me relinquish control."Elena is my mate and Luna, so don't you dare speak about rejecting Elena," Ray said sternly, startling everyone in the room."Silas, do you want to kill your other mate? Why are you risking a human mate's life? Reject her for her good," Terrance yelled back. Ray, whom I had lost control of, pinned Terrance against the wall and used his strength to choke him."Ray, hand the reins back to me. We must heed the ad
Elena - POV Drake and I sat together throughout the entire journey to Canada. Drake had a talent for making people happy, and his witty remarks were a hit with the team. There was a lightness in the air that lifted my spirits. I tried not to dwell on Silas's confession, but it kept intruding into my thoughts. It was still hard to accept that shifters existed and weren't just a myth. I wondered what else existed in the world. "Are you okay?" Drake asked. I gave a brief nod and forced a grin to hide my troubled expression. "Hey, I have another script idea you might like to hear," Drake said, catching me off guard. "You're a writer too? You're talented," I chimed in with enthusiasm. "Hey, I'm no writer, just an idea if you enjoy the storyline. I can hire a scriptwriter to work on it." "I'm all ears," I said. "This fictional narrative goes like this. The Dragons had all stayed together and formed clans. However, some of them became greedy for power, leading them down the wrong path
Elena - POV After Letty talked my ear off about Silas, my fury grew. Yuri had invited me to meet her after I had selected my Met Gala gown. "Ms. Hayes apologizes for keeping you waiting," the manager stated. "Welcome to the Vannel dress line." "It's OK. Can you please contact Selena for me? She had the outfit ready," I requested. The manager nodded, and a few minutes later, Selena, the owner, and chief designer of Vannel, walked in, looking sharp as ever. "How are you, darling?" Selena greeted me with a hug. "You know the drill, Selena," I chuckled. She giggled in response. "I have several lovely gowns for you," Selena said, leading the way to two stunning dresses. One was a black top with no straps and red ruffles below, giving it an eye-catching appearance. The other had a heart-shaped neckline, open slits, and a green fabric with floral patterns and crystal embellishments. "You've put in so much effort, Selena. This creation is absolutely beautiful," I admired in awe. "It me
Elena - POV It was hard to ignore Silas's presence and the pang of sadness whenever I saw him standing close to Letty. After the meet-and-greet session, Drake and I stepped onto the balcony after the meet-and-greet session to get some fresh air. "Elena, I have something to confess," Drake said abruptly, his expression serious. I braced myself for what could potentially be hidden secrets. Why did he want to divulge something to me? "I am not a struggling actor. I'm an entrepreneur, to be honest. I lied about my situation to audition for an acting opportunity." "Oh, Drake, I don't understand why you're telling me this. I apologize if I gave the impression that I judge people based on their social standing." I sipped my champagne, trying to process his revelation. "That's not the reason. I want to be honest before you hear the truth from someone else. I can't bear to see you upset and can't afford to lose your trust," Drake explained sincerely. His words made my heart skip a beat. "
Yuri - POV My thoughts and heart were in complete disarray. Letty clutched me before I could reveal the truth to Alpha. Letty showed me a video clip where she poisoned my mother's drink. According to Letty, it was a slow-acting poison, and someone provided my mother with an antidote as long as I kept silent. But if I crossed the line and told Alpha the truth about Letty's evil scheme, she would kill my mother. I couldn't discuss this issue with Mac because Letty was also keeping tabs on him and his family. I should have realized by now that Letty was an obsessed and deranged individual who would go to any lengths to make her plans succeed. It bothered me to see Elena ignoring Alpha, and I wasn't fond of the growing distance between them. I needed to seek help from Witch Emily. She could assist me in getting out of this dilemma. I tried to locate Elena and Alpha while Letty searched for Alpha Silas. Alpha Silas was trying to mend his relationship with Elena, and I didn't want Letty
