Erin's pov I stood there with my back resting against the wall. What Mark had said for a reason had my system disoriented. How could he threaten to break me up with Duncan? I folded my arms, walking back and forth in the room. Mark had me completely off balance with his threats. It wasn't because of what he said, it was because he had the means to carry out what he said. I continued to pace forth and back. That can't happen. I didn't know what gave me such agile hope but I was willing to do anything to ensure Mark's threat didn't come to pass.I heard footsteps outside my bedroom door which made me on guard. “What's going on?” I muttered to myself. Was that Mark?I froze in my steps and the door bursted open. I exhaled when I saw that It was Lola.“Lola thank goodness you are here.”I needed someone to share what I'd just encountered with Mark.Lola looked at me with glossy eyes. She was very empathetic towards me and I was most grateful for that even when she didn't know what wa

Duncan's povHe watched her through the woods and once he was sure that it was her, he called out her name and she turned around to face him, confirming his suspicions."Erin?" His throat ran dry. His heart felt broken and he hated how he hadn't noticed it earlier that she had been the one killing his pack members.His heart pace increased and he stared at her whilst having many questions at the back of his mind. Why would she do this? And how could she? Although they were mates, he also had an obligation to his people, his pack. How could she do this to him? How could she betray him after everything they'd gone through?“Why… Erin? Why?”“I have no clue what you're talking about.” Duncan touched his heart, feeling his heart break every second she gave him an answer he didn't like.“Why did you betray me?” He asked. His love for Erin could not blind that she had done something intensively horrid. He never would have thought she would do something like this but with all evidences in h

Erin's heart sank as she stood there, reeling from Duncan's abrupt leaving without hearing her out. "What am I supposed to do now?" she wondered, feeling lost and frustrated at the same time. Suddenly, her thoughts were shattered by a jolt as Lola's mind link flooded her consciousness with unexpected news. "Amelia found?!" Erin gasped, her mind racing. She turned instinctively in the direction Duncan had taken, taking one last glance as though wishing he emerge again from the shadows but it was just wishful thinking. Unable to follow him, she made a swift decision to return to Nebramos to confirm the miraculous news herself. She arrived at Nebramos at the break of dawn and was met with a scene of utter chaos. The maids were in a frenzy, their cries of anguish piercing the morning air. The whole palace was chaotic. She frowned and rushed in with curiosity but the maids were weeping so loud that they did not notice her coming. "What's happening here?" she asked, grabbing one of the

111.She turned to the sound of the footsteps but heard the person pulling back. “Duncan?” She wished it was him for a second but when she remembered what happened earlier, she got rid of that wishful thinking.She is more than devastated and a tear rolls down her cheek when she recalls how he avoided her gaze. The guards were pulling her away, past the scarred walls and the torches mounted on the walls but he was not looking. She began to have different thoughts. If anything were to happen to her while coming, the least she could expect to happen is Duncan denying knowing her. She should have just stuck to Mark. This wouldn't have happened if she listened to him when he told her to end things with Duncan. She looked around the dungeon and realized it was a dimly lit cell and she was still in the same position as she was when she was tossed into it. She turned, banging on the iron bars."Let me go!" She cried out, her voice hoarse with anguish. But her words fell on deaf ears, swall

The absence of the one she had trusted most only deepened the sense of betrayal and left her trying to make sense of the harsh reality of the war that now raged within the very walls of her kingdom.Her world shattered as she witnessed the horrific scene unfolding before her eyes. “Mother, Father, Amelia!” She called their names, running to through the chaos in search of her family. She goes into battle with the werewolves and saw Emyrn.“What? You are here? Where is Amelia?” She asked.“Fighting on the other side,” Emryn said as he took down the wolves with his magic powers.“Hold them in as much as possible…let me check up on my parents," she said running to her parents chamber.The sight of the caramel-skinned witch she had seen at Duncan's pack, bewitching Lara through the mirror that night terrified her. Erin's heart sank when her eyes fell to the witch’s hand gripping the dagger that had pierced her father’s heart, sending waves of anguish coursing through her. She screamed i
