BLADE’S POVUnder normal circumstances, I wasn’t supposed to be heading to the woods with the hope of seeing Evanora after what happened the last time but given how far from normal our circumstances were, I couldn’t help but go again.I left the pack immediately after dinner. My mother might have noticed me leaving but after our last encounter of me banning her from my house, she knew better than to voice out her very useless opinions about me or my actions.Carefully and quietly, I headed toward our spot. Though my actions seemed to be proving otherwise, I still needed to be safe. I couldn’t afford to get into the hands of the guards that were most likely still going to be circling the area. Not like that. Not when I’d finally found a way out for me and my mate, Evanora.By the time I drew nearer to our spot, I could smell the strong scent of vampires hinting that the guards were not only present but had multiplied in number. They must have gotten the hint that a werewolf would be co

BLADE’S POVJust when I thought everything was finally getting better, a new obstacle just always managed to spring up.A hiss alongside a groan escaped my lips an uncountable amount of times as I walked back to my pack house signifying how distressed I was. I was pissed, mad, and annoyed at myself. Just when I thought I was pulling myself out of a problem, I’d managed to successfully land into another.A war. My pack was in no way prepared for a war and I had no idea what type of reactions the news would birth. We had enough soldiers to fight but a war like this was just totally unexpected.Not only was it unexpected, but it was also one I didn’t want. I was trying to look for a way to make things better between the wolves and vampires and there was no way in hell that getting into a war with them would bring the desired results. It was only going to fuelling the already existing hatred between the clans and if it gets out of hand, could result in conflicts way beyond both my and the

EVANORA’S POVI spent hours curled up in a corner of my room, sobbing and allowing myself get drowned in a pool of my own thoughts.I couldn’t bring myself to be positive- all my thoughts circling around how all that happened was my fault. How I had brought so much chaos to Blade’s pack and though I hated to admit it, my coven too. My dad and the prince were also to blame but in the long run, it was all my fault.If only I had kept silent. If only I had managed to contain my anger. If only I didn’t provoke my dad and the Prince then my dad wouldn’t have angrily decided to wage war against Blade’s pack.Letting out a groan, I pulled my knees closer to me. As expected after hours of crying, I could feel a headache on its way. My body felt sore, my feet numb and definitely, my face was going to be bloated.With a sigh, I rose to my feet and drag myself to the bathroom. Glancing at my secret passageway and quickly dismissing thoughts of running away again, I moved towards the tap and turn

BLADE’S POV“Let’s take a five minutes break.”I watched sounds of pleasure erupt from the crowd of soldiers at my words as they all quickly dispersed. They were all obviously exhausted and so was I.We had all been training like maniacs ever since the night the vampire king declared war against us. We had no option but to slack and as a result, got used to pushing ourselves until we were at our limit.That morning was no different as we had started training as early as 6 am. It was going hectic as usual until I noticed how exhausted they all were and had no choice but to have us take a break.“No,” I said in a loud voice, changing my mind. “Let’s make that a fifteen minutes break.”Again, sounds of pleasure filled the air and I managed to smile at myself. They didn’t all deserve to train like crazy especially when it was for something so unavoidable yet caused by me.“I see you’re cutting them some slack,” Adam said, appearing out of nowhere to walk towards me. “Unfortunately I can’t

EVANORA’S POVI remained in my position, watching the witch and my dad turn to face me. “You called for me.”They both looked surprised to see me, my dad’s expression quickly changing as he moved towards me to put his arms around me. “Yes, I did. We-”“Don’t touch me,” I cut him off, taking his arms off my shoulder. “You seem to have forgotten how things are between us. Say whatever you want to say without touching me.”“Of course,” he seemed a little hurt but I couldn’t care less. “A ritual would be taking place today. It’s a pre-wedding ritual in which the witch officially gives you her blessing.”“Yeah, I heard that already,” I replied to him, exchanging quick glances with the witch. “Say something else. I heard that part already.” “Evanora,” he let out a sigh. “Were you eavesdropping on our conversation?”“Eavesdropping isn’t really the appropriate word to use,” I rolled my eyes. “I didn’t want to be here. I was dragged here without my will and wasn’t told to close my ears or li
