As Ethan walked up to her, she took in every inch of his features like she usually did in the past. His shaggy brown hair that was always out of place, his chiselled face, his broad shoulders and that sexy way he walked. Even though his eyes held an insurmountable amount of anger, she gazed into their gorgeous depths. The closer he got, the more she wanted to jump on him and kiss every inch of his perfect body.Rhiannon blinked, tearing her gaze off him. Her eyes narrowed into space...what the hell was wrong with her? "What are you doing here?" Ethan questioned, his eyes stern. Rhiannon locked eyes with him once more. Her body might be betraying her and getting swayed by the lurking mate bond, but her heart knew better, "You guys are back already? Where are the rogues?" Rhiannon asked softly. She could have yelled at him, but she couldn't show her enemy how much she had changed. She still needed to be the soft woman he thought she was, only that she wouldn't tolerate some things f

They moved like shadows, with Layla in front using her werewolf perceptive abilities to make sure no one was coming. They tiptoed through the edges of the large compound, till they arrived at a door. It was a less-used servants' entrance, and Rhiannon knew this place well because she recalled her and Eleanor usually playing around here when they were kids, and Astrid would scowl at them. There, she saw a wooden door which seemed to lead to forgotten pastries or the basement, but Rhiannon knew better. Beyond the door was a long corridor with many branches, one leading straight to Killian's storeroom. Layla vigilantly scanned their surroundings, "We are clear," She murmured. Quietly, Layla and Rhiannon slipped behind the door. It was suffocatingly dusty, and they stood in the quiet passageway. "Careful," Rhia stepped forward this time, "I'll lead us from now on. There are traps everywhere,"Rhiannon's knowledge of the Alpha's paranoia was their greatest asset. She had been here bef

In his arms, he held her with possession. His other hand reached out and gently cupped her cheek, his thumb brushing away a strand of hair from her face. His touch sent a shiver down her spine, which offered a comforting warmth that made her want to melt into his arms completely. "You're mine, Rhiannon," He declared in a fierce whisper, his eyes dark and intense with a passionate hunger she's never seen before. But his words had her flinching a bit. Ethan had said the exact same words hours ago, and she already had so many trust issues. The way she had been betrayed, her own mate taking her life - it had broken her in more ways than she knew. Elijah saw the grim expression come over her face and felt her tense muscles. She was refusing eye contact, clearly trying to ignore the overwhelming mate bond between them. "What's wrong?" He asked, cupping her face and forcing her to meet his eyes. The storm behind her eyes began to leak tears, and they pooled. The pain in her eyes had hi

"You...!!" Rhiannon almost yelled, shocked out of her mind, "What are you doing here? How did you even...?"Elijah raised his finger to his lips, a gesture that told her to keep quiet. Then, he walked up to her and she sucked in a deep breath as the pull grew even stronger. "Five days isn't up," She whispered this time, overwhelmed by his presence. "I'm not here for that," He said to her, their eyes locked. His eyes were as strong as remembered, and this time she wasn't on her knees so she could see his face much better. He was the definition of Attractive. Everything about him screamed masculinity, and his face was a sculptured masterpiece. He also had a scar running between his left eyebrow, a testament to his true nature. And without even trying, one could tell he was an Alpha from his elevated aura. "Then...why are you here?" She asked, her voice taking a softer, more breathless edge. "I could not stop thinking about you," Rhia's heart did a somersault. Did he really just s

"You're mine, Rhiannon," He growled fiercely, his tone raw with possession. The look in his eyes was always feral, changing to a golden brown so deep Rhiannon was forced to take a step back. She was shocked. Why didn't he just accept the rejection when it's Eleanor he actually wants? What sort of messed-up game is he playing at?"I belong to no one!" Rhiannon fired back, stepping forward again confidently, "I rejected you, so take it like a man and move the hell on!" As she finished, she turned around to leave but Ethan's arm reached out and grabbed her firmly, roughly whirling her back to face him. "This isn't funny, Rhia," He said, eyeing her with a death glare. She scoffed, "Does this seem like a Joke to you? But then again, you've always taken everything I've done for you to be a joke so I understand why your brain cells are still contemplating this," She rolled her eyes"What?" His grip tightened till Rhia almost winced. "Do I have to repeat myself?" She forcefully yanked her

Rhiannon stood there, her eyes quaking with rampant emotions. Tears pooled in her eyes as she saw her best friend standing there, shoving spoonfuls of ice cream into her mouth without the fear of getting a brain freeze. She could hardly believe her eyes. She had been so caught up in getting her revenge that she forgot Layla was still alive a year ago. "Are you okay? You look kinda pale," Layla dropped the ice-cream, her brows creased in concern as she approached Rhia, "Are you sick?"The emotions exploded, and Rhia sprang forward and threw her arms around Layla, crushing her in a tight hug. Tears streamed down her face, and she sobbed heavily against Layla's shoulders, "You're here! You're... really here," Layla was confused, "I've always been here," She murmured as she pulled away to stare at Rhia's face, "Are you alright?"Rhiannon smiled, nodding, "I'm... just so happy to see you,"Layla chuckled with a slight eye roll, "Likewise," She replied, "Now let's talk about what happene
