Lily PovI walked slowly with heavy steps through the trees, feeling the weight of frustration and self-doubt with each step. Those teenagers, already shifting into their wolves, were relentless in tormenting me. They taunted my late blooming, making me feel like an outsider in a world where strength came from a primal connection with the wolf inside. Making me feel like an outsider as if I were not part of the royalty. I finally reached the pack house on foot. They had gotten there an hour before I did because they all were able to speed off in wolf form. They continued to mock me and I could not fight back because I knew their wolves were stronger than my human form. I saw Katie stare down from her window. Katherine, stuck in her room, witnessed it all from her window. She was obviously hurting for me, and I could almost taste and sense the anger burning within her. I am seen as a mere human until I am able to turn full wolf. Mother experienced the same late blooming and she ass

Jade pov"How many times do I have to tell you this, there is absolutely no way we're just going to send her out of this pack!" Jude yelled, banging his hand angrily on the desk in front of him. I was pissed off too. The elders were ranting nonsense, they were all biassed due to their fanatical way of life. Believing that their own cultural value is above every other thing. "Keep your voice down when the council meeting is going on," father corrected but it only passed Jude off even more. "Fuck the council! Do you guys hear yourself?" Jude rose to his feet and I did nothing to try and stop him, no one dared. "She fucking lost her memories and you’re here claiming she’s lying. Even if she was, do you have any sort of proof? So I’m supposed to agree with sending my mate out in the fucking wild. Remembering that we had already found her unconscious.”“Settle down please,” George, Brenda’s father said hoping to actually call my brother down but that turned out bad. “I’m fucking out o

Katherine pov All the noises were loud, yet the people were so far away. My head hurt and I couldn’t open my eyes or my mouth. I felt myself being lifted from the ground. “Katherine, please stay with me!”The screams did not help how my head hurt. Being lifted by other people helped me understand that even my entire body hurt. The place where the wolf had taken a chunk out of my flesh stung more than anything in life. It was all amplified and so much that I thought I felt even everyone’s emotion. “What happened?”“She fought the dead wolf.”I fought the dead wolf.“She’s badly injured too.”“That’s new, she should be healing by now.”These conversations went on over my head and I heard it all so clearly, it was hard to think I was imagining things or dreaming. I thought I would scream out and cry when someone gripped my arm grazed over the open wounded flesh. “Oh shit!”“What is it?”Yeah, what is it?“It’s wolfsbane.”That explained a lot now, didn’t it. Will Brenda be alrig

Katherine Pov Her eyes focused on me like she was trying to uncover a hidden truth. I managed to keep a straight, yet worried look but Luna didn't seem like she was buying it much. "You know the council decides what the Alpha says," she said, circling her finger around the edge of the cup she held on to."I figured," I said, still very clueless of what was going on. "You really don't remember anything about yourself? Because you're making my husband and I be at a tight spot here. It's harder to keep them calm every single day that passes," she sighed out, frustrated already. I almost felt bad, but my fear of betrayal still overshadowed my sympathy. I didn't care if they threw me out, all I wanted was to enact revenge and save my pack. My eyes turning red was most likely because my father died and I was the last alpha blood in the pack. It increased my obligation to rescue my people from the monster that they all suffered from since the coup.“I’m sorry for causing you and your fa

Katherine Pov"You know, I think I'm getting used to this your quarantine free days," Brenda said, breaking our silence. We were at a porch, across the pack house and enjoying the sunset. This time, I wasn't trying to escape, I was just enjoying the company beside me and how much she understood me. "I know, I'm the best," I chuckled and eventually we both stumbled into an impromptu laughter. "Tell me though," Brenda whispered as soon as the laughs died down. "You and your mates, how're things coming along with them? From my angle, it doesn't seem like the three of you acknowledge one another."I took a pause, contemplating on how to respond to her in a way that she might understand. "Well, I won't say I haven't acknowledged that we're mates. I just haven't accepted it yet and we're all willing to wait. You know, no rush," I shrugged, hoping she understood where I was coming from. I partly lied, the only and main reason I hadn't accepted them was because I was afraid of being hurt
