I sighed as I looked at his side of the bed. I did my morning routine and went to the library. I had my breakfast there and spent the most part of the day there. I was dozing off when I heard footsteps. Since I woke up today, my senses has been sharp. The footsteps got closer and Jairus came out. He stood in front of the couch and if I didn't know better, I'll say he looked nervous. "I'm sorry" I shrugged my shoulders. "It doesn't matter anymore" "It does. You were trying to help us and we just messed things up" "It's fine. I shouldn't

I dropped the book I was reading back on the table. What Thane had said yesterday refused to leave my mind. I couldn't possibly believe that they weren't my parents. For as long as I remembered, I had always been with them. After Thane's bombshell, I wanted to go see them and ask them about it but he refused. Rather, they would be coming here today so I could find out the truth. Right now, I wondered if I really wanted to find out the truth, if my heart could take it. What if they really weren't my parents? Who are my real parents. Did they want me?  I sighed in frustration and laid my head on the table. Damia appeared from behind one of the shelves, her head bowed as usual. "Your parents are here" I hurried out of the library quickly, down the s

When I woke up the next morning, I felt better. I wanted to go to Bronte's hut but Thane wouldn't let me. He kept on going on about how I visited the dungeons and how I had not gotten my punishment.  He further restricted my movement and confined me to my room for a whole week. The day of my heat was three days away and I had become more antsy. Thane had suggested we go to his private cabin secluded in the forest. We were to leave later today and he had forbidden me from stepping out of the room because my scent had become stronger and more alluring and he didn't want to kill any male today. Still tossing on he bed trying to sleep, I heard sounds at the window. I looked downstairs and saw Lily struggling with somebody. I couldn't see the face of

THANE'S POVI hurried back to the cabin hoping I got there in time for her heat. Her scent was faint. I went to the room we shared and checked the wardrobe but her stuff was gone.I figured she must have left the cabin but I was worried. She didn't know the area or the way back to the castle.I mind linked Noir and he confirmed that Jairus had brought her back. meddlesome pup. I shifted into my beast and ran back to the capital.I sent Carlyn back to the castle while I went to the cabin. I went up straight to our room. When I opened the door, Carlyn and Esme were sitting together and didn't seem to notice."I'm sorry I kept Thane with me all through yesterday" Esme nodded but didn't say anything."It's just that yesterday was Catalina's birthday. goddess bless her soul. She loved to celebrate it and so even after her death, Thane still cele

Things were going well. I was really happy. And in love. I smiled giddily as I put on my dress. After much persuasion Thane had finally let me visit Bronte's hut but I had to go with Noir.He stayed outside while I explored the inside of the hut. I didn't want to take anything out of the hut so I read the books there.I had found out a few things about my mother. Her name was Circe. There was no record about my father's name except that he was a werewolf. The book talked about a prophecy but I couldn't understand it.After three days, I was satisfied with what I had learnt about my mother and figured there was no need to search deeper. I remembered Bronte's words from the dungeon.I took one final look around the room. This was the last time I would be coming here. I went outside and saw Thane outside with Noir. This was the first time he had come here. He turned to me and smiled. I smiled and jogged to wh
