HORACEThe urgency in Ragnar's voice made my heart skip three beats because it had never happened before.'Come to me. Fast!' I ordered.Matteo saw the uneasiness in me as his shoulders slumped."What is going on?" he asked."I have no idea," I said as we both waited for Ragnar to show up.Even though I had no idea what was going on, I knew I had to take care of whatever was going on in any way I could, and I needed to act fast about it.I could hear someone's footsteps approaching quickly, and hoping it was Ragnar, I quickly turned around to know what was going on.Matteo followed suit as he tried to keep all his curiosity to himself."Nora?" I called her name, surprised that she was the one who showed up.She looked at me and then at Matteo, looking tense as lines appeared on her forehead.The wind was blowing and tussling her hair. "What is going on?" she asked.I twitched my eyebrows, turning as I stared at Matteo."We don't understand what you are talking about," Matteo said as h

NORAI could not believe Horace did not listen to me... after all, we told him, he still did not agree.I placed my hand on my forehead as I shook my head. Strolling through the hallway, I thought of where to go.I didn't want to return to my chambers... Horace might return and see me there. I just did not want to see him... all I wanted to do was find my mother.Ever since Lilith confirmed she was still alive, I tried my very best to make sure it wasn't a fact.Days ago, I visited my home. I took a deep breath, pushing the door as it squeaked open. The air was musty as cobwebs hung from the ceiling, and everything was covered in dust, finding its way into my nose as I began to sneeze.I remembered the days when I grew up. I was missing my mom and knew that she was still alive, but I had no idea where she was.The house has been empty ever since I and my mother tried to flee the pack. I just realized my mistake.When I became Luna, I didn't pick a time to come over and take care of my

NORAI couldn't imagine how tough it was for Zelda to live her life the way she didn't want to.I was moved to ask her what placed her in that situation, but I held myself back from doing it.But it kept on bothering me, "Zelda?""What put you in the condition you are in now?" It finally spilled out from my lips as I adjusted.Zelda turned, staring at Lilith as she shrugged and nodded her head."Five years ago, I was the next in line to become queen mother in the coven." She paused, sighing.I instantly knew it was a tough one. I didn't mean to bring the pains of her past back to her, but I needed to know."I was ordered by the current Queen Mother to kill the wizard because I was his favorite, and when I refused, her youngest daughter manipulated the situation. Taking strands of my hair, she shape-shifted into me and went ahead to kill the wizard."I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I didn't know much about witches, but this... I never planned on hearing it.Cruelty..."And they

THIRD PERSON POV"Huh?" Candra twitched her brows as she glared at Rodriguez.She was unable to respond to his questions as her mind drifted far away from him.She bore anger in her heart, wondering why everything she struggled to get revolved around Lenora.Lenora was a nobody, and suddenly she appears from nowhere to take what belongs to her.The night before, Candra had heard Ophelia's conversation with Hernandez, asking for his opinion of what is likely to happen if Rodriguez gets to bed Lenora.She shut her eyes tightly, massaging her forehead as different thoughts ran through her head.She wasn't going to allow Lenora to take another belonging she strived to get... she hadn't even gotten a chance to enjoy Rodriquez yet.Candra wasn't scared of Lenora... She was scared that Rodriguez would not want to let go of Lenora when he met her, and then it would become a situation where a lady held the lives and decisions of all the brothers in the castle."I'm speaking to you, Candra!" Ro

HORACE"You didn't have to send Gavner out of the pack," Nadia said as she walked up to me. "What will people say about you?"I was furious at why everyone didn't want me to send Gavner away, and now they are upset.I am the alpha, and I have every right to do whatever I want and make any decision that seems best to suit me and whoever I am doing it for."I do not care about what they say as long as I'm still in that position.""I cared about what they said initially, and now I have to prove to them that I'm still capable of being alpha," I shot back at her as I sat on a chair.I felt like no one cared about me—understanding me was their problem.I have no idea why I am pushing myself to have a fight with Rodriguez when, deep down inside, I do not want to.I do not have to prove anything to anyone.It's been two weeks since I last spoke with Nora... she hadn't come to me, and it didn't bother me about speaking to her after all... I pissed her off.I sighed, my eyes burning in fury as
