Rune.I stared at the letter in pure shock. Who was I supposed not to trust? “I have something to do. I’ll be back in thirty minutes,” Kane said, kissing my forehead and disappearing. I turned my attention to the letter. Was someone out to get me again? Just the day before, it was revealed to me that some Alpha was out to get me while I just found out I was pregnant, and today, There was someone I was not supposed to trust, and there was no name. I sniffed the letter immediately, Perceiving the scent in case I could recognize it, but surprisingly, the paper had no smell whatsoever. Not even James scent lingered on it. It wasn't possible that A few wolves had touched it, and there was no sense in it whatsoever. I said that the words at the writing. I had never seen anyone's handwriting in the entire pack, so I couldn't tell who had written the letter and how I could get to them. I ran downstairs immediately And went to find James. I found James at the back of the park house with a

Rune. I took a deep breath as Soph and I arrived at the entrance to the large room. Somehow, it felt as though the meeting room had a certain resentment towards me as all the times I had been there, it was to decide my fate, and oftentimes, I did nothing to warrant my attendance in the room.“Are you okay?” Soph’s voice cut through my thoughts, vibrant brown eyes staring at me with hopes that I would say yes; so I did, and we entered the room right after. The room was filled with all the elders in attendance. I gulped hard, making sure to avoid eye contact with them. With a straight face, I walked up to the spot left for me and sat down, waiting patiently for the meeting to start. “Where is Caden?” Kane asked James, who shifted uncomfortably in his seat. “I’m sure he’s on his way here, Alpha,” he replied with a bow. “I will not wait another second for him. Go and get him yourself,” Kane thundered, sending James to his feet and out of the meeting room. Over ten minutes later, Jam

Rune. “What?” Even before I uttered the question to Kane, I knew he would refuse me. I had seen it in his eyes, his rejection of my request, even though he looked like he was thinking about it. He wasn’t. He had his answer ringing in the back of his mind, and I heard it. I shouldn’t have asked him to make me Luna. It opened a new window of pain I was fine without. I knew he would refuse me, and yet I asked him. “You asked because you now carry his child. The next Alpha of this pack. You shouldn’t have to ask, he should lay it down at your feet!” Zarah howled angrily and I sighed.At the end of the day, I was angry, but surprisingly not at him. I was angry at the situation which made me think becoming Luna would solve the problem. “This would be the perfect time to sit at the waterfall and calm my mind,” I muttered to myself, dragging my eyes unconsciously down to my stomach. “You could use a little serenity too.” I smiled at my bumpless stomach. I was back on house arrest by n

Rune. I blinked once. Twice.I racked my brain as I watched Kane, trying to make sense of what he’d just said and why he wasn’t telling me it was a poor attempt at a joke since he wasn’t one to crack jokes. “You’re serious?” I raised a brow at him and received a frown in response. I scoffed and got up from the bed, maybe I hadn’t heard him clearly, maybe he didn’t just accuse me of making Caden lie about the curse.“Just so I understand, you’re telling me right now, that Caden said I put him up to this?” Kane’s silence told me I was right, and that was in fact what he’d just said. “Where is he? Where’s Caden? I need to hear him say those words with my ears because this is by far the most ridiculous thing I’ve heard all week, and you know very well I’ve heard a lot of ridiculous things this week.” I released a breath and placed a hand on my chest. “This doesn’t even make any sense, because what was I supposed to gain from that? There was no one more heartbroken than me when he told

Rune. I quickly headed downstairs, to the kitchen, where I was met with Marian and Soph. Kimi had gone for her training. They’d all been waiting for me and had gone to the kitchen from the living area because they thought Kane and I were about to get into an argument, according to Soph.I guess they weren’t the only ones who thought so, because I noticed that the omegas were walking on eggshells around me when I stepped out of the room, with their heads bowed. They had no idea we fought last night, and we were in the process of giving each other some space. “I’m hungry,” I announced with a sigh, ignoring Soph’s words, and Marian jerked to her feet, eager to give me some food. We had our breakfast at the dining area, over a conversation about Caden and everything that had been going on in the pack in the past days. “I went to the human market the other day, and on my way back, I heard a few wolves talking in hushed voices about wolfsbane and…” Marian paused and put her index finger
