MAEVE’S POVI woke up after having a bad dream, only to see that Alpha Zane wasn’t in bed and it was still too early for anyone to possibly have gotten out of bed by now. It was 5:30 am for crying out loud.Or did Alpha Zane and the others not get any sleep at all?But I was sure that he slept in this room last night and the space in front of me was still warm.The dream I had was horrible and in the dream, the message given to Maggie by the moon goddess to deliver to us wasn’t in our favor and I watched Alpha Zane die in my arms.Only the thought of the dream made my heart begin to race with fear and when I turned to face the direction of the door, so I could get down from bed, I flinched when I saw Patricia looking at me with a scowl.Gosh, she really scared the living daylight out of me because I didn’t expect to see her this early in my room.And what was with the scowl on her face? I mean, I know that we both didn’t get along, but this scowl signified resentment.“How long have

ZANE’S POV“A few on our way coming to the study just now, we received a call from the other pack's armed forces, that the Crescent Moon pack that we all think is a pack which is now a wasteland, is inhabited by werewolves with unknown identities. We think they are from the Crescent Moon pack,” Damien explained with seriousness.“That isn’t all, they have been secretly sneaking into packs and trying to infiltrate the pack house of all the other 11 packs,” Khal added and I couldn't help but frown.“How is that possible? I thought the whole Crescent Moon pack was wiped out?” I asked myself more than them.“Unless, that is what the inhabitants of Crescent Moon pack made us believe. I mean Maeve having survived is proof enough,” Maggie said and we all turned to look at Maeve.Maeve was of course surprised to hear that she wasn’t the only survivor of her pack.Come to think of it, she had never brought up the issue of how she felt about being from that pack. This must have been a sensitive

ZANE’S POVThe reason I took out the goblet which was passed over to me by my father and wanted to use it for the spell was that I thought if we used it to do the spell, it would bring good luck.After all, the goblet was an ancient artifact and my father told me stories about how the moon goddess's first creation had a drink with the moon goddess using this goblet gifted to him by the moon goddess.When Khal began coughing, I knew he was avoiding being the first whose blood would be drawn.I appreciated their efforts of agreeing to follow me to search for the orb.If it were another ambitious Beta and Gamma, they would be happy to watch me die without any child to succeed me.Which would have made it easy for them to take over the Alpha position.But Damien and Khal were supportive of me since they found out about the dying part of my curse.“You don’t need to put on a show Khal. I was going to be the first anyway,” I said which made Khal stop coughing as a look of embarrassment made

ZANE’S POVPatricia walked into the room just when Maeve wanted to walk out. I was nervous but I couldn’t back off now. Maeve looked uneasy when Patricia came into the room without even waiting for our response to invite her into the room.But out all the time that Patricia could have wanted to see me why now? Well, whatever it was, it would have to wait till I successfully made it back from the Crescent moon pack with the Orb.“What is the problem, Pat? And how many have I told you to always knock and wait for my response before you come into my room?” I asked her and when we made eye contact.There was a look in her eye I couldn't fathom.“I would like to speak to you about something really important,” She said calmly, which was unlike her.All my life that I grew up with Patricia, she was always a rebellious and arrogant girl, except whenever she was with my parents, and seeing her calmly speaking to me right now puzzled me.“Uhm…Can it wait till I am back? I have somewhere really

ZANE’S POVI sat down patiently waiting for Maeve to reply to my text while Damien and Khal continued to debate on who would act the passed-out part.“If you are this tensed, then how do you expect Damien and I to be?” Khal asked me all of a sudden bringing my attention back to them“Well… It’s just that Maeve hasn’t replied to my text and it’s making me worried,” I answered, making Khal and Damien give me a teasing look.I rolled my eyes knowing what would happen next as I inwardly counted one to three.“You’re such a lover boy,” Khal was the first to tease me making me glare at him.I couldn’t help but think that his Character and Charlotte’s matched each other. Maybe that was the moon goddess who made them mates.“I thought you said that you both can read each other's thoughts and feelings. If you don’t feel anything out of the usual, then that means you’re just been worried for nothing,” Damien said with his eyes still on the road and his face void of any emotions.I thought abo
