Chapter 108

Elara’s POV

“You’re nothing,” Mary spat, coming at me with a knife. “An inferior creature. You don’t deserve my son. You don’t deserve to live.”

I tried to speak, to defend myself, but the words caught in my throat. I touched my stomach, afraid for my baby.

“Oh Goddess, please help me.’’ I cried out, looking above.

Mary laughed. “The goddess won’t help you. She abandoned you wolves centuries ago. She grew scared of us. How mighty Lycans had become.’’

My wolf stirred uneasily inside me, but it felt distant. It felt like she was retreating into the shadows of my mind.

“Mary, please,” I managed to whisper. “I love Lucas. I would never—”

“Silence!” Her roar echoed through the garden, and I flinched. Why wasn’t anyone coming to save me? Where were the guards, the warriors, the maids? Anyone. “Your love is a stain on our bloodline. You’re a mistake, one I intend to correct.”
