Logan's POV:Days had passed since the attack in the dinner hall, and I found myself growing weaker with each passing moment. Olie, my wolf, was restless and unhappy, yearning for Selena's presence. Her disappearance, orchestrated by Mia, had left a gaping hole in both of us."Luke!" I called out from my office, my voice strained. "Luke!"But there was no response. I knew he was just outside the pack office, yet he pretended not to hear me. Frustration bubbled up inside me, mixing with the ever-present pain.The door creaked open, and Gina, my sister and Luke's mate, stepped inside. "Brother, are you okay?" she asked, her voice laced with concern.I kept my face hidden, not wanting her to see the weakness etched upon it. "No, Gina. I'm not okay. Please, you have to get Luke."Gina nodded and left the room, her footsteps echoing as she descended the stairs. I could hear their muffled conversation, Luke feigning ignorance to my calls. Finally, he entered the office, a look of feigned co

Selena's POV:The boat ride with Yarrow was far from pleasant. As a wolf, I had a strong aversion to water transportation, and the constant rocking of the small vessel made my stomach churn. I clung to the sides, my knuckles white, and prayed for the journey to be over soon.After what felt like an eternity, Yarrow tapped me on the shoulder. "Selena, wake up. We've reached the sea port."I opened my eyes, blinking against the bright sunlight. As I stumbled out of the boat, I found myself standing before a massive rock formation that seemed to stretch endlessly in either direction."Is this the Clave?" I asked, my voice hoarse from disuse.Yarrow nodded, his eyes fixed on the towering wall of stone. "Yes, this is the City of the Unknown."I frowned, scanning the barren landscape. "Where do people live here? And are you sure Mia and Luke won't find us?"Yarrow placed a reassuring hand on my shoulder. "Be calm, my dear. You will soon discover your true self."He approached the center of

Selena's POV:After the emotional reunion with my mother, I was escorted to a private room to change into appropriate attire. As I stepped inside, I couldn't help but marvel at the luxurious surroundings. The room was spacious and elegantly decorated, with plush furnishings and intricate tapestries adorning the walls. It was a far cry from the simple life I had known growing up.I took my time exploring the room, running my fingers over the soft fabrics and admiring the delicate embroidery. It was clear that every detail had been carefully chosen to create an atmosphere of opulence and refinement.As I opened the wardrobe, I gasped in delight. Inside was a stunning white garment, crafted from the finest materials. The fabric was soft and silky to the touch, and the design was both elegant and ethereal. I couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement as I slipped into the dress, marveling at how perfectly it fit my body.I stood before the full-length mirror, hardly recognizing the woma

Logan's POV:As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting long shadows across the pack grounds, I found myself pacing restlessly in my office. The news of Luke's escape had set my nerves on edge, and I couldn't shake the feeling that something even more sinister was lurking just out of sight.I had sent Rafe and his team to scour the territory, but as the hours ticked by with no sign of the traitor, my frustration only grew. How could Luke have slipped away so easily? And more importantly, where was he now?I slammed my fist against the wall, the pain barely registering through the haze of anger and despair that had settled over me. Everything seemed to be falling apart, and I couldn't help but feel like I was failing as an Alpha.A soft knock at the door interrupted my spiraling thoughts, and I turned to see my mother entering the room once again. Her face was pale and drawn, and I could see the worry etched into every line of her face."Logan," she said softly, "there's something yo

Selena's POV:As I stepped into the training arena for the first time, I couldn't help but feel a mixture of excitement and trepidation. The Sisterhood had promised to help me unlock my true potential, to teach me how to harness the power that had lain dormant within me for so long. But the thought of actually using that power, of tapping into the ancient magic that flowed through my veins... it was both thrilling and terrifying.The arena was a vast, open space, with high walls and a ceiling that seemed to stretch up into the heavens. The floor was made of smooth, polished stone, and the air hummed with a subtle energy that I could feel tingling against my skin.As I looked around, I saw that I was not alone. A group of young women stood at the far end of the arena, their faces filled with a mixture of determination and apprehension. They were all dressed in simple, flowing robes, their hair pulled back into tight braids or ponytails.One of the women caught my eye, and I felt a sudd
