ATHALIAH’S POV “Of course not.” I giggled, staring the bitch in the face. “You would remember if I met you before, wouldn’t you?” Ithra’s eyes narrowed, and uncertainty filled her look. “I guess.” “Exactly,” I said with a smile, noticing her unease. I wondered what she saw. Or what she remembered to ask me that question. From my observations, Cole wasn’t far from the truth. It seemed like this bitch was getting back her memories. I didn’t know if that was a good or bad thing yet. I mean, I only tortured her in the past and later apologised about it. She wouldn’t mind. She shouldn’t hold grudges. I thought sarcastically. If I was going to place my tent here, I needed to be sure no one could displace me. Not even the future Luna. I felt a plan come together and my smile appeared naturally. “Shall we go on with the business of the day? Do you feel tired, Luna?” My words were concerning but my tone was mocking. She noticed it but covered it up with a stern outlook. Some things

CALLA’S POV I was dressed in a black studded gown and paraded into the dinner hall by Cole. Contrary to my belief, the room wasn’t packed with pack members. Instead, there was a giant table - big enough to feed thirty people in the centre of the room. As we approached the dinner, I realised we were not alone. Athaliah and Scarlett stood on their feet, waiting for us. As soon as we got to the table, Cole dragged a seat by his right and the ladies bowed their heads in greeting. “Have your seats.” He ordered and we all sat down to eat. I could feel the hard gaze of Athaliah on my form and wondered if this was some sort of set-up. I suddenly didn’t feel like eating. “Welcome Luna.” She said and I raised my eyes to meet hers. “I’m sorry I was unable to train with you today.” Her eyes swapped to Cole who’s eyes were already on hers. “I was a bit busy.” Scar cleared her throat and the atmosphere was riddled with tension. I felt like there was an inside joke I wasn’t privy to happeni

CALLA’S POVI hadn’t stepped outside my soon since dinner the last time. I was placed on bed rest by the pack doctor who came in intervals to check on how I was faring, only to receive the same answer, time and time again.Why couldn’t they understand that I was doing fine? The only thing that plagued my mind was my latest discovery and my need to know more about the one woman who hadn’t stopped plaguing my mind since the first time she appeared in my dream. Alongside why my mind couldn’t stop conjuring up images of Athaliah, torturing me in a place I couldn’t recognise. Shilhi the herbalist. I had decided to refer to her in that manner ever since dinner when Athaliah told me of her story. The thought of me seeing a dead, betraying herbalist didn’t sit well with me but I held on for the day I had an opportunity to see Athaliah again. Which I hoped wouldn’t be far from now. A knock on the door disrupted my thoughts. “Who’s there?” I asked, gingerly getting up from my bed, hoping i

CALLA’S POV I could feel his gaze heavy on me - Alpha Zadok’s gaze. It was hard not to notice when his gaze burned like fire. I had forgotten how intense it was to be around him. How he managed to command my attention without trying. Today was going to be different though. Because I choose not to indulge in that today. It was Cole’s birthday. The last thing I needed was a reason to make him angry at me. Besides, I felt paranoid and couldn’t shake off the feeling of foreboding that came with this event. It felt like something bad would happen, I didn’t know why I was feeling such bad premonition but I couldn’t shake it off. There were a lot of hushed rumours about today being a big night for Cole and I couldn’t help but wonder why this birthday took the crown from my three years of being in this pack. What made it so special and what part did I have to play in it? On my way here, I tried to get Scar to talk to me about what was happening tonight but she didn’t give me anyth

CHAPTER 119 - ITHRA’S POV My eyes fluttered open and the first thing I see is a man hunched over me. “Calla! My goodness, thank God you are awake.” The man said, while my vision blurred. “How do you feel?” A headache rammed my forehead. “What in the world-” I said, sitting on my bed. An arm covered me, “Thank God you are alive. I’m so sorry you had to go through that! I promise you will never experience such again. Scarlett has been put away in the dungeons, never to disturb our lives again.” “Scarlett?” I asked and suddenly, my thoughts cleared. I looked at Cole and felt a sudden urge to get away from his embrace. “Are you alright, my love?” He asked when I suddenly left his hold with a disgruntled face. Zadok. I remembered how harshly I spoke to him and my heart split in halves. I needed to get to him. Athaliah walked in with a pretentious look of concern. “Luna, how are you doing?” I couldn’t believe it. She was one hell of a betrayer. I saw through her acts, and my e
