Hazel's POVIt was in that other lifetime when I was still obedient to Silver Hands, letting them shape and mold me into the mask for their dark research and activities. Those days when I still let them play me like a puppet as they turned me into a dark emotionless being that could carry out their missions without remorse or regret. One of those missions was killing Lycidas. Somehow, they had gotten the information that there was this young man from a Sulfur Hand pack that was determined to end them once and for all. The young man was Lycidas. As Damian told me, Lycidas had set off from his pack for the main pack of the Silver Hands. He wanted to kill the Silver Hands's Supreme Alpha and end their dark experiments once and for all. For some reason, the Silver Hands actually feared that he would succeed, though I had heard that the Supreme Alpha's residence was nearly impregnable. But I received a mission, and it was not in my place to worry about the other details, or even the lo

Chapter 64Mia's POVMason was holding Lycidas's sword to the light and though I could only see his profile, I could see he was very distracted by the sword and didn't even know he had said something wrong. I had to quickly go redeem the situation. I wasn't sure of the reason why, but I wasn't ready to admit to Lycidas that I was Mia. Not yet. At least, till this business with prophecies is cleared up. I stepped out of the shadows into the cave. Mason was so engrossed he didn't even notice my presence. But Lycidas did. He turned to me, and there was a look on his face. A glow. The same one that had been there when he told us that he had come so we would help him find Mia. The guy seemed very eager to find this Mia, and somehow, it made me even less willing to reveal myself. "Hey, seems Mason knows this Mia we're talking about," he said to me, his eyes glinting. "Is that true?" I directed the question at Mason in a very pointed voice. He snapped out of the daze and looked at me i

Mabel's POV"You came in peace, didn't you?" Hazel snarled at me, glaring at the three newcomers. I almost burst with frustration. I bit my tongue to stop myself from screaming at them. What were they thinking coming here? Did they think they could escape from this castle once they came in? Now, it would be even easier for Hazel to track us if he wants. "Well, that's alright with me, really," Hazel grinned evilly, still glaring at the three rash brats who have already started cowering. Well, just Mabel, really, but Mason is covering her protectively, so it looks like he too is also cowering. "I've been looking for new subjects for my experiments," Hazel said, flexing his claws. I gave him a sharp look. Experiments? I've come to associate the word with unpleasant messing with the inner wolf by the Silver Hands. Didn't he say he has nothing to do with the Silver Hands? But this was not the time to wonder though."What are you three doing here?" I grit out at them through clenched te

Mia's POV"Told you it's pointless," I said bitingly as I caught up to Lycidas and Mason. My temper was helped by the way my step parents had just dismissed Lycidas, and me by extension, which was cold to say the least.My father: You're looking for Mia? What the hell are you looking for that trash for, son? I don't know if you met her or heard about her instead, but she will do nothing but bring shame to you, son. Find another woman," With that, he turned and never spoke to us again. My mother: Oh, you don't eat corpses, do you? Because she's probably dead somewhere in the forest. But in case you eat very unpleasant corpses, which is what she would be now, winter's coming, so she might still be fresh. Just search the woods well," All the while, I had been in the shadows, trying to stop myself from leaping at them and digging out their hearts. "Do you have anything that has her scent then? I would like to search for her," Lycidas had asked. When he did, my father turned to look a

Lycidas POVBy the time we got back to the sanctuary, Mabel was already talking about moving again. Melina had assured us we were not followed, and she herself had concurred with that for a few minutes after she caught up with us. But as we walked home, she had gotten more and more paranoid till she was practically watching her back as she walked. I had thought she was just saying, but when she started packing up supplies right after we got back to the sanctuary, I realised she was serious about it. And that made me mad. I had only been here for three days, but still, it felt like I was not making any progress at all. The first day, I had fought corrupted, and that same night, the normal wolves invaded. I tried talking to Mabel on the second day so she would help me find Mia. That was when I learnt that Melina was supposedly the one in the prophecy. How that was possible, I didn't know. But it wouldn't be the first time the alpha had read the stars wrong. However, I had decided t
