Silas’s povThe door made a noise as we went inside the house. The warehouse smelled like oil, rust and old sweat. This warehouse had seen a lot of things. It had seen many bad deals and too much blood. The lights in the warehouse were really dim. They were hanging from wires. The team did not waste any time. They split immediately. No talking. Just hand signals.My children were somewhere in this building. We walked by stacks of crates. Now I could hear some sounds that were really quiet. There was whimpering. It was soft. I stopped moving and hid behind a crate. The leader came up and stood beside me. He said to me, "Do you hear that?" in a quiet voice.I nodded. The man gave a nod and then he signaled to two of the men to come forward. These two men crept ahead of us their guns raised up high. They were looking around the corners. My body was really scared. Every single part of me was screaming inside.We got to a door at the back of the warehouse. This door was made of m

Silas’s povI entered the ward like I had been here a million times just to see John eating pudding an watching cartoons.“We need your help.”He muted his show then dropped the pudding to the bedside.“Now? I’m not in the mood to help anyone.”“Don’t test me man.”He noticed my outfit and saw Julian behind me.“What do you want from me?”“My kids are missing. You know about that?”“Yes, I know, and I’m trailing them right now.”“Where are they?”“I’m not telling you anything, Silas.”I grabbed him by the neck. “Start spilling.”He stared at me, then looked behind me to look at Julian.“Don’t look at him. Look at me.”“You know your husband is crazy, right?” he said to Julian.Julian sighed, then walked daintily to the beeping machine he was hooked up to. “I don’t know which button does what, but I’m pretty sure if I pull the plug, I could kill you.”“Are you being serious?” John asked, then turned to me. “Is he being serious?”I shrugged. “I guess we make a pair.”“Yeah, you two mak

Silas’s povI got back home and found a couple of police officers in the compound. I knew that they must have told Julian about the missing children. I gulped and entered the house as the sound of crying filled the air. I found Julian’s mother seated on the couch with Lewis telling her that it was going to be okay.The moment I entered, she got to her feet.“This is all your fault! I told you what to do and you ignored me. Why would you put my poor son through this? Like he hasn’t suffered enough?”“Where’s Julian?” I asked as she waved her hands out in frustration.“He’s in the room. He’s crying because he lost three children in one day.”“We’ll get them back, I promise.”“Will you? Or will the people who hate you and who hate Julian come back again to do worse?”“Let’s just pray that doesn’t happen.”I turned to the officer in charge, then gestured for him to go to the corner with me.“What’s the status?”“Our men are spread thin, sir. There are many cases like the kidnappings tha

Carlos’s povI had gone out of the store when I got a call from Nathan.At first I didn’t want to pick, but after the phone rang for a long time, I sighed and then accepted the call.“What?” I asked as his voice came off hurriedly.“I have been calling you for minutes now. Where did you leave your phone?”I rolled my eyes. “I’m sorry, Dad. Next time I’ll pick up on time.”“This isn’t funny, Carlos. This is serious.”“Fine. What do you want from me?”“Where are you?”“I am somewhere.”He scoffed.“Somewhere, like where, Carlos? Do not play games with me. If this plan fails because of your idiocy, if you have by any means made contact with our enemy…”“I haven’t made contact with anyone, relax. I tailed him, like you said, and I kept him busy. He has gotten into his car and he’s driven off.”He stayed silent for a while before clearing his throat.“Very well. I’ll send you the address of where I am right now. I want you there.”“Why?”“No more questions. Just show up there.”Before I co

Silas’s povI listened to the board around me talk about the business and how to scale it up. After sitting in one place for an hour, I pushed the meeting to another time and dismissed everyone as I got up to leave, seeing my phone ring.I picked it up to hear the voice of my spy telling me that he was in my office.Rolling my eyes, I walked away as my new assistant joined me.“So, is there any other meeting you’ll be having?”“No,” I shook my head. “And I just want to be alone for now.”She nodded and stepped away. I got to my office, looked behind me to see no one was there before I opened it and closed the door behind me. I then saw him sitting by my whiskey cabinet, helping himself to my most expensive whiskey.I scoffed. “I pay you to be out there finding threats for me, not to sit in my office and drink my whiskey.”“I needed something to clear the edge off. You want one?”“I don’t. Why can’t you buy yours?”“Because I don’t wanna.”I scoffed, and walked into the middle of the r

Carlos’s povNothing was said until we got into the car before Amara turned to me. She looked pissed.“You must have a death wish to go up against Paxton like that. Are you fucking mental?”“My throat hurts so if we could do this another time that would be great.”“You think this is a joke?”I chuckled. “Relax, nothing happened.”“Nothing happened?” Nathan asked, one hand on the window as he stared ahead. “He could have killed you in there. That would have been the end of our plan. All right? We need all hands on deck. Without you, this plan will be a bit wobbly. We need everyone that we know to take down those guys. Right now, both of them are together and they are united, and the three of us are broken apart. This plan needs everyone, I mean everyone.”“I get it, jeez. No need to set your panties in a bunch.”They exchanged glances and shook their heads as I sighed.“Okay, fine, I overstepped. But I just wanted to know the guy. Turns out he’s not a funny guy after all. But he did gi

Dante’s povIt didn't take long before I was standing before them. My pack.I limped to the front, refusing the arm one of my betas offered. Pain screamed through my body, but I stood tall anyway. An Alpha didn’t show weakness, not when eyes like these needed something stronger to cling to.I scanned the crowd, my throat tight. So many faces missing. So many eyes red with grief.I forced myself to speak. “We fought. We bled. We survived.”The murmur rippled through them, soft but steady.I let out a breath. “Rowan is gone. His pack scattered. The traitors among us…” My eyes cut toward the corner where several elders knelt in chains, their heads bowed. “They will pay. They thought they could weaken us from within, that they could gamble with our lives. They were wrong.”One of them lifted his head, sneering. “You think locking us away will change anything? You’re young, Dante. Hot-blooded. The council has guided this pack for generations…”“Enough!”I stepped closer, my claws itching

Dante’s povI dragged my boots through the drying mud, standing at the border of pack territory. My body hurt in every way it knew how to, muscles shredded and screaming, a cracked rib or two, and the bond with Selene still humming, thank gods she wasn’t dead.But the moment I entered the packhouse I noticed a burn of energy. I looked ahead to see Axel standing in the center of the courtyard, with his arms crossed. His eyes burning red. A few of the elders who I knew had gone against me, stood beside him. Their expressions were hard to read.I froze. “This has to be a joke.”He smiled. “I’m not. You’re weak, Dante. And I won’t let you lead this pack into chaos any longer,” he spat over his shoulder… no doubt loud enough for a dead Rowan to hear.“You think this is what I wanted?” I sighed.“You a weak just like your father. You are nothing. And I will make sure that you regret everything you’ve done in this pack.“You choose this minute?” I said, shaking my head. “After we’ve been su

Dante’s povThe world smelled of iron and smoke as wolves around me clashed and clawed themselves to the ground. Blood streamed down my chest from a gash as I didn’t care.I looked ahead and saw rowan there as I knew this fight was going to be a hard one.He was bigger than I remembered, his wolf a hulking brute, scarred muzzle foaming red. He bared his teeth.“Dante!” His voice thundered across the clash. “This ends tonight!”I snarled, circling him. “You should’ve stayed in your grave, Rowan. You’ve already lost.”He laughed, low and guttural. “Your pack’s bleeding. Your walls are falling. And your Luna…”I was on him before he could complete it, my claws scoring furrows across his face as I batted the wolf away."Cowards like you," I snarled, teeth nipping an inch from his throat, "don't get to say her name." He howled. “You can’t win, Dante!” “I already have!”I drove him into the mud, pushing against his back, until he buckled and his eyes widened in fear. “Wait…”Too late. My

Dante’s povThe first sound was the bell. Low, heavy, and ugly. It didn’t ring unless death was walking in.I woke up with a start from bed, my heart slamming into my ribs, as Selene woke up too, with her hair a mess and her eyes wide open.“Dante… what is that?”“The war bell.” My voice was rough, already moving, already pulling on clothes.Her face drained of color. “No. Not now…”I grabbed her shoulders, forcing her eyes on me. “Listen to me. You stay here. Do not leave this room. No matter what you hear. Do you understand?”She shook her head, tears filling fast. “Dante, don’t…”I cut her off with a sharp kiss, tasting her fear. “We’ll win. But I need you safe. Promise me.”She swallowed hard. “I promise.”I tore myself away, every step a war between instinct and duty. As I rushed through the Hallway, the bells roared even louder. By the time I got to the courtyard, the air was already filled with screams and the savage house of wolves ripping through the midnight.“Form ranks!”

Dante’s povI had another matter to attend to. The housekeepers stood by the living room, glancing at me as if anticipating instructions. I coughed, tugged my collar and eventually uttered, “I’d like a dinner tonight. I mean… not mere food on the table. A proper dinner. A romantic one. Candles and flowers… and all that.”One of them, Lira, the boldest, arched a brow. “Romantic? For the Luna?”“Yes. For the Luna,” I snapped, then sighed and softened my voice. “She’s been through enough. I want her to feel . . . seen. Safe. Like she belongs.”The younger maid clapped her hands together. “We can set the balcony, Alpha. Lights strung along the railing. Red roses. Maybe even music?”“Do it,” I said.They scattered like birds, whispering among themselves. I could see them carrying trays of fruits and flowers and candles. The clinking of crystal and silver; the sound of fabric being dragged on carpeted floors… all were rolled into a low storm of busyness.I moved around, much like a restles

Dante’s povSelene touched her belly softly. “We can do that.”I leaned in closer to her ear. “We already are.”She flushed, swatting at me lightly. “Don’t flirt in front of the doctor.”The doctor laughed. “Trust me it is good for the baby.”Selena smiled. “Oh God, can we go home now? I’m really exhausted.”I gave her a little nod and stood up while offering my hand to her. She took it and got to her feet.“So let’s go and celebrate.”“Celebrate how?”I smirked. “You’ll see.”***Axel’s povI looked around the council hall as I felt the fire from them curling up into the roof. I smiled and leaned back in my chair with my arms crossed across my chest. Anna shuffled through the papers before me while she looked around like she was delivering some kind of grand sermon.I looked at the elders who sat scatter around the long book table.Old men with silver hair, scarred faces, and tired eyes. They didn’t look like warriors anymore, but I knew better… half of them had spilled more blood th
