You saw it, didn’t you? The silver light under her skin. The way the crowd moved like puppets. The one pair of eyes that didn’t look away. She’s not just a werewolf and a human all at the same time. And Morgan knows it now, too. But they’re not ready for what’s coming. Stay with me if you want to find out: 💀 Who is the man in the hoodie? 🌕 Why is Alora’s power growing? 🩸 And what ancient force has just been awakened inside her? You’ve only seen the beginning… and trust me, it gets darker from here.
Alora’s POVI stepped out onto the sidewalk as a chill ran down her spine. I could feel eyes watching me in the dark. It was so intense that I had to look around, scanning the empty streets, but I didn't see anything suspicious.All of a sudden, a taxi came to a stop in front of me. I hailed it down.“The Marlowe” I said, giving him the name of Mike’s family restaurant.The driver modded, and I stepped into the backseat, the leather cold and sticky against my skin. Then the driver moved.Immediately, I got in, my stomach growled loudly, reminding me I hadn’t eaten since morning.A few minutes later, the driver pulled into The Marlowe restaurant, and the aroma of freshly cooked food greeted me.I opened the door and walked in. The diner was not busy, just a handful of customers waiting around for their orders.I walked over to where Mike was behind the counter, his back turned. “Hey Mike” I whispered.He turned over, and when he saw me, his face split up in a warm smile.“Look what t
Alora's POVAn overwhelming need to pee woke me up from my fitful sleep. As I opened my eyes, I blinked and closed my eyes as the early morning sun filtered in through the curtains. Stretching, I froze when I felt small legs draped lazily over my waist. Blinking fully awake now, I turned to see the familiar mop of curly hair nestled under the duvet, and purring like a cat.I couldn't help it as a smile escaped from my lips.When did this boy sneak into my bed?I could’ve sworn I went to bed alone, and woke up with a cat softly snoring behind me. I shifted closer and ruffled his already tousled hair. He stirred in his sleep and curled into himself again, sighing in contentment.Leo has been like a light in my life in the past few months. He loved sleeping in my bed and on many nights, I woke up to him snoring beside me. He was like a little brother I never had, and I adored him, even though sometimes he carried himself with strange maturity that often made him feel like a tiny, ove
Morgan's POVIt had been a week since the attack on the packhouse, and we were still struggling a bit with the impact it had had on us. For someone who carried Alpha blood, her recovery was oddly slow. Still, she’d used the time to do what she did best, draw attention, soak in sympathy, and make herself the centerpiece of attention. Each time I tried to talk to her about us, about my mate, it always ended the same way. Her turning the tables, and me feeling like the villain.But not this time.I was done walking on eggshells. I needed answers.I found her in her room. She opened the door before I could knock twice, her smile already loaded with intent.“Hey Alpha” she said in a sultry voice. "You look better," I said. My eyes, accessing her from head to toe. She was glowing, and her scent was stronger than normal. She wore a purple nightwear that left little or nothing to the imagination. I could feel myself responding to the subtle seduction brewing beneath the surface. I gulped
Phoebe’s POVI had just gotten home from school and was about to head to the kitchen when I heard the front door creaking open.I stepped out to check, and met with Mike, my step-brother.One look at him, and I knew something was wrong.His mesmerizing gray eyes looked dull and tired, like someone had pulled the light out of him.Dark circles matted his eyes, and his hoodie was halfway unzipped, the bag barely hanging on his shoulder. His hair was a mess, like he’d run his fingers through it one too many times. I have had a huge crush on my step-brother since the day he walked into our lives with his father. He was everything I had ever dreamed of in a man. Soft yet strong, sympathetic and loving. It's not like I'll ever tell him how I felt because I knew he didn't see me that way. My parents would kill me if they got to find out, and I wouldn't want to ruin our beautiful relationship because of some sick crush.It didn't help the fact that he was a playboy and had a crush on almost
Violet's POVI was in the infirmary room receiving treatment for my gunshot wounds when Morgan walked in with Harry and some of the guards.Lucien had done too much damage to my flesh, even more than we had discussed, but it was worth everything. I was a scorned woman, and I was ready for any consequence that followed as long as I exacted my revenge.I was Violet Sinclair and I take it personally when I am being treated as a fool or an option. I wasn't an option, even when my father made me one. I didn’t get crushed. I adapted. I was manipulated. And I conquered.And tonight, I played the victim.My wolf had begun to heal me, but no one knew that. I needed to create enough ruckus, so nobody would suspect what was at play.Immediately, I watched them through the window making their way in. My scream echoed loud enough to shake the foundations of the packhouse, and startling the nurses hovering around me.By the time Morgan rushed in, I had slid to the floor, and laid crumpled in the po
Alora’s POVAn officer jumped out, weapon drawn, until his eyes landed on me.“Miss… Alora?” His voice softened with recognition. “You’re the girl from the hotel…”I squinted from Morgan’s arm to check, and it was the police officer from the hotel.I turned to look at Morgan, and he had a lot of recognition in his eyes. “Yeah,” I muttered. Some of the officers who were in the second vehicle came around and pulled us out of the wreckage gently, checking for wounds. “You’re lucky to be alive. He said, examining Harry’s bleeding lips. "What the hell was that thing?” One of the officers commented, going close to the cliff. I didn’t answer. I couldn’t. Because just thenHarry’s phone buzzed violently on the ground. Again. And again. And again.He picked it up, but the phone screen was shattered, and he couldn’t pick it up. Morgan drew me close as a warm blanket was wrapped around my body. I turned in his arms to check and the place where he had pulled out a shard of glass from his ar
