ALPHA KYLIAN'S POVSilently, Molly and I made our way down the corridor. I intended to get into Morra's room and grab the things I needed to mark my dominance as Alpha again. I needed the proof of ownership of the pack, the oil used at my coronation and the royal crest that only I owned. I wanted to get a hold of it before Morra destroyed it. After I get the items, I'll kill Morra myself. Well, not now, at least. I would take and report her to the main council. This will ensure that the fight between our pack and the shadow legion will be settled once and for all. When all was said and done, then I would kill her. From the windows I could see the full moon in the sky. Tonight, my Alpha powers would be at their strongest. I could already feel the adrenaline pumping in my veins. The raw energy moved through my skin. As we moved closer to Morra's room, I noticed three guards at the entrance. They were all armed. I'll have to get through them before I could get in. That wouldn't be a pr
ALPHA KYLIAN'S POVNow that we were done with the covenant, I decided to move on to the main task - capturing Morra. Molly seemed to be satisfied. She had a smile on her face. "We're bound together now" Molly said "Nothing can come in between us. We'll be a happy family, you'll see"I didn't know what to say or do in that moment. I just faked a weak smile. I felt uneasy. The covenant wasn't something I wanted to do but I had to for the sake of my pack. She couldn't expect me to be happy it.The image of Lorraine’s face lingered at the back of my mind. I couldn't help but feel like I just betrayed her. She was my true mate, after all. I pushed all thoughts of her to the back of my mind. I probably wouldn't see her ever again. The past should remain in the past. Now, it was time to focus on the present. I approached the bed where Morra laid sleeping peacefully. But as I drew closer, my wolf started to feel some type of way. I had a feeling that something would happen. I just couldn't
ALPHA KYLIAN'S POVMorra's blade hovered dangerously close to Molly's stomach. My heart felt heavy in my chest. That's my child. I'd be hurt if anything happened to it. I felt hopeless. It didn't matter how powerful I felt at this moment, the fact was that I couldn't do anything. If I made a move, Morra could stab her. I could see the malice in Morra's eyes. She was serious about this. Besides, she was too fast. I wouldn't be able to save Molly in time. I thought about what to do. I struggled to find a way to save Molly and our unborn child."Kylian, please..." Molly's voice trembled with fear. I could see the pleading look in her eyes. She was terrified. But I was frozen, paralyzed by the impossible choice before me. How could I protect both Molly and our baby? Morra's eyes gleamed evil. Her lips turned into a twisted smirk. "Say goodbye to your precious little baby, Kylian," she sneered "It's time to end this charade once and for all."I clenched my fists. I racked my head, desp
LORRAINE'S POVThat night, I grabbed my sons and we huddled together. I rocked them till they fell asleep. They cried so much that their voices got hoarse. They were frightened to the core. I had never seen them this scared. I'd be scared too if I was woken up in the middle of the night and was told that I had to run. I did my best to comfort them. Finally, they fell asleep. Gently, I placed them on the floor. I kissed their foreheads. I was glad that they had finally fallen asleep. We would stay here till morning. By morning, everything would be calmer then we would return home. As soon as I made sure they were asleep, I stood up. Becca's words echoed in my head. I couldn't believe she would say that or even think about it. It made me wonder what she would have done if I hadn't come home in time. Becca stood, leaning on the wall of the cave. She faced the entrance, looking deep in thought."Becca" I called her. She turned to me "Yes Lorraine" "You've been like a mother to my chi
BECCA'S POVI stepped out into the night. Deep in my thoughts, I walked further into the forest. I had no idea where I was going. All I knew was that I needed some fresh air. I couldn't stay in that cave with Lorraine any longer. I felt guilty about the words I said to her. I panicked. That was the last resort or so I thought. Thinking about it now, I should have never said that. I out of all people should know how Lorraine felt. I was a mother once. I knew how it felt to lose a child. I never told Lorraine this but I've actually had an encounter with the witch before. It's one of the reasons I was so scared. I didn't want to come in contact with her again. If she saw me, she could expose everything. I'd like to keep my past in my past. I was content with my new life and I didn't want anything to ruin it. "I told her to surrender her son to the witch," I whispered to myself. The look of betrayal on Lorraine’s face tugged at my heart. I feel bad for what I said. All the apologies in
NEIL'S POVI could feel the coldness of the cave in full force on my skin as I knelt beside the frozen boy. I used my pick axe to keep breaking the ice. Luckily, I had made progress. Oscar and I had been at it for days. We used all forms of heating methods along with other means. Slowly, the ice barrier was starting to break away. I was almost done. My arms and my back literally hurt. The plan was to free the boy, get him the hell out of here and find the witch. Perhaps then, she would finally leave us alone. Before now, I wondered why the witch couldn't find him after all these years. That night, when she accused Oscar and I for trying to kill her, it finally clicked. Whoever hid this boy knew that the specie of witches she belonged to hated cold places. I read more about it. A particular breed of cursed witches couldn't enter extremely cold faces. The person who hid this boy was aware of this. The person hid the son here, knowing fully well that the witch couldn't enter a cold cave
BECCA'S POVI began to get more desperate by the moment. Rose had proven to be just as useless as Oscar. I needed to find the boy myself. He shouldn't have gone too far. He was probably being hidden in one of the houses here. Where else to hide something if not in plain sight? I went from house to house, asking people if they had seen the boy with a mark in his neck. By now, I had gone to over seven houses yet nobody had seen him. If he wasn't here, then where was he? Where could they have taken him? I needed answers and I needed them now more than ever. I didn't want to give up on my search yet. I continued going to people's houses to look for him. With each passing moment, my frustration grew more and more. I was getting more annoyed and agitated by the second. I couldn't let everything I had worked so hard for be destroyed in an instant. I needed to find him and make things right again....fast. I had to do this before the witch realizes he's been found. I continued my search. I
LORRAINE'S POVThe next day, I tended to Aiden and Alex who laid on the bed. As soon as the sun hung in the sky that morning, we made out way back to the bunker. Aiden and Alex clung to me tightly. They barely slept throughout the night. I hummed as I rocked the two of them to sleep. I tried to soothe them by stroking their hair gently. Their soft breathing showed me that they had slept off. I was happy that they were resting. Even when we got home, they were a bit agitated. I kissed their foreheads then gently laid them on the bed one by one. When I saw that they were still fast asleep, I got up and tip toed out of the room.When I got into the living room, I let out a deep breath that I had been holding in. I raised up my head and fanned my face with my hands, trying my best not to cry. It was all too overwhelming for me. Life hasn't been the same since we moved here. My heart rate increased loudly in my chest. I was starting to feel anxious, like the walls were closing in on me.
