NEIL'S POVMy eyes widened in surprise when I saw the mark on the boy's neck. Could he be... "Could that be the witch's son?" Oscar asked. "I guess so""How come she's never found him then? She's been searching for him for centuries yet it took us only a day and a half to find him" Oscar's words echoed in my ear. He was right. How come she never found him? She's been to this town to torment them. On her way, she must have seen the cave and she must have checked. If he really is the witch's son, does this mean that he's been frozen for decades? How long has she been looking for him exactly? "Maybe he's just a boy who has the evil mark" I said. "But the mark has to be gotten through a bite." "A bite of what? I never understood that part" "Even I don't know. From what I heard, the evil mark is given to children who have deep rooted evil inside them or through a bite from a powerful shifter. It's a legend. I never believed it until it happened to my friend. Even he doesn't know how

ALPHA KYLIAN'S POVI sat on the cold floor of my cell, thinking about my plan. This was my only shot at freedom. I had to think about it carefully. If something goes wrong, it'll be the end for all of us. I have to make sure that everything runs smoothly. The state of my pack depends on it, depends on me. There was no other way for me to reach my guards. Most of them were being used as slaves. My only hope as a spy was the maid who usually comes here to serve my food. The maid told me all about Morra's plan. She told me that Morra was planning abhuge party. The party had no meaningful purpose. She just wanted to lift the mood and celebrate her victory. From what she told me, the party is supposed to be an extravagant one. Morra had gotten access to the royal funds and spent a whole lot on it. Morra also planned to invite some royals and more of her terrorist group members. Morra was determined to turn this pack into hers solely. I clenched my fists. I could feel the anger boil withi

ALPHA KYLIAN'S POVSilently, Molly and I made our way down the corridor. I intended to get into Morra's room and grab the things I needed to mark my dominance as Alpha again. I needed the proof of ownership of the pack, the oil used at my coronation and the royal crest that only I owned. I wanted to get a hold of it before Morra destroyed it. After I get the items, I'll kill Morra myself. Well, not now, at least. I would take and report her to the main council. This will ensure that the fight between our pack and the shadow legion will be settled once and for all. When all was said and done, then I would kill her. From the windows I could see the full moon in the sky. Tonight, my Alpha powers would be at their strongest. I could already feel the adrenaline pumping in my veins. The raw energy moved through my skin. As we moved closer to Morra's room, I noticed three guards at the entrance. They were all armed. I'll have to get through them before I could get in. That wouldn't be a pr

ALPHA KYLIAN'S POVMorra's blade hovered dangerously close to Molly's stomach. My heart felt heavy in my chest. That's my child. I'd be hurt if anything happened to it. I felt hopeless. It didn't matter how powerful I felt at this moment, the fact was that I couldn't do anything. If I made a move, Morra could stab her. I could see the malice in Morra's eyes. She was serious about this. Besides, she was too fast. I wouldn't be able to save Molly in time. I thought about what to do. I struggled to find a way to save Molly and our unborn child."Kylian, please..." Molly's voice trembled with fear. I could see the pleading look in her eyes. She was terrified. But I was frozen, paralyzed by the impossible choice before me. How could I protect both Molly and our baby? Morra's eyes gleamed evil. Her lips turned into a twisted smirk. "Say goodbye to your precious little baby, Kylian," she sneered "It's time to end this charade once and for all."I clenched my fists. I racked my head, desp

BECCA'S POVI stepped out into the night. Deep in my thoughts, I walked further into the forest. I had no idea where I was going. All I knew was that I needed some fresh air. I couldn't stay in that cave with Lorraine any longer. I felt guilty about the words I said to her. I panicked. That was the last resort or so I thought. Thinking about it now, I should have never said that. I out of all people should know how Lorraine felt. I was a mother once. I knew how it felt to lose a child. I never told Lorraine this but I've actually had an encounter with the witch before. It's one of the reasons I was so scared. I didn't want to come in contact with her again. If she saw me, she could expose everything. I'd like to keep my past in my past. I was content with my new life and I didn't want anything to ruin it. "I told her to surrender her son to the witch," I whispered to myself. The look of betrayal on Lorraine’s face tugged at my heart. I feel bad for what I said. All the apologies in
