Steam oozed out of the tub and water trickled down Nyra's bare back, glistening over every curve as she stepped out. The scent of rose oils trailed behind her. Just as she left the bathroom, she heard the door creak without a knock. Her spine snapped straight when she saw who it was–Alpha Kael.He strode in causally, his hands dipped in his pockets. Nyra's jaw clenched as she clutched the towel tighter around her body, but she didn't shrink back. She stood on her spot, damp strands of hair falling against her cheeks. Their eyes locked.Kael's eyes drank her in slowly and something shifted in him. His gaze never left hers as he suddenly felt hard. “I wasn't expecting you,” Nyra's voice snapped him out of his thoughts. “I can say the same. I wasn't expecting to find you this…” he trailed, his eyes taking her in again. “This way.”He walked forward with deliberate steps. His lips twitched into a knowing smirk. “Or did you plan this?”Nyra's gaze lowered. She couldn't stand the way sh

It had been three days since Nyra was captured by the Blackfang Pack. And not once had she been allowed out of the room they put her in.Each day, Nyra prayed Madam Vexa was out of the pack and hadn’t been eaten or taken by the werewolves. She knew they were going to use the old woman because she was human. But one thing was for sure—Alpha Kael had not disclosed her identity yet.If that were the case, she'd have been dead a long time ago.She was a rogue after all.Nyra didn't know the pack they'd come from or what had happened, but all she knew was that her mother had been murdered by one of the packs living among humans. And ever since, she has sworn to get revenge on all of them.A sudden grumble pulled Nyra back to reality, and she glanced down at her stomach.She couldn't believe she’d been starving herself lately. The last time a maid came in, it was only to change the linens. She knew full well she was being punished.Her thoughts were interrupted again by Zara's low growl in

Nyra didn’t know what to expect when the guards dragged her out of the chamber room. As they walked, Kael's words still echoed in her head like a curse. Then be mine. Seriously? She scoffed inwardly. Instead of the cold stone dungeon or the sting of another slap, they pushed open a heavy door and tossed her inside a large, dimly lit room. The floor was smooth and clean. The bed was massive, its sheets plain and untouched. Nyra was confused. She stumbled forward and turned slowly. The door slammed shut behind her. She blinked, breath catching in her throat. “This... isn't the dungeon?” It was a private room. Nyra had expected Kael to throw her into the dungeon like Madam Vexa after she didn't reply to his demand to become his sex slave. She began pacing the room. Her thoughts chased themselves in circles. ‘Why hasn’t he killed me yet? What is he planning?’ Her body ached, her cheek still stung, but the fear had dulled into confusion. She couldn't be a sex slave to her enemy!

Rheya stood at the upper terrace of the castle as she watched Nyra run in the dark and into the woods. She had just wondered how she passed by without the guards knowing.She had seen her leave, and she wanted to go after her, but she refrained. The instant she beheld her, Rheya knew she wasn't from Blackfang or any neighboring pack, and she wasn't a human either. She knew Nyra was a rogue.By the time Kael stirred awake the next morning, the light piercing through the tall windows in his room only worsened the throbbing ache in his temples. He groaned, reaching up as though his head cleaved into two. At that moment, he sensed something was wrong. The incident of last night came rushing back, and he remembered it all–her scent, her mouth, and then…Nothing. He absolutely remembered nothing further!When he rose in an attempt to head for the bathroom, a knock came on the door. “Enter,” he snapped.Rheya stormed in, not bothering with pleasantries. “Who was the new girl?”Kael blin

Madam Vexa didn't speak as she handed Nyra over. Though she communicated with her through her eyes before Nyra went off.Alpha Kael stood waiting just outside the club's underground corridor with Alaric in a black SUV. He didn't say a word when Nyra walked out. Alaric simply opened the door for them and they climbed in.Her fingers tightened on her thighs. Her heart hammered in her chest. It wasn't the desire she'd felt, but vengeance.She'd heard lots of rumors. Though she lived among humans in the city, she had moved down to the particular region for a purpose. She'd heard that it was Alpha Kael's pack who had hunted rogues a few years ago.And her mother, whom the moon goddess had blessed with her fierce outcast soul, had never returned from the hunt.Now Nyra was close enough to destroy the man she suspected might have ripped her family apart. The SUV sped through the moonlit roads. Neither of them spoke any way except for Alaric who kept glancing at Nyra from the rearview mirror

Nyra didn't stay back.The moment that scream left her mouth, she spun on her heels and ran. Her heart pounded like a war drum in her chest. She breathed out panicked bursts as she ran through the hallway, nearly colliding with a dancer on the way. She ran into the break room, where Madam Vexa sat counting cash and scribbling on a note.“What the hell happened to you?” Vexa asked, raising an arched brow as Nyra stormed in, cheeks flushed.“I need to leave.”“Excuse me?”Nyra went straight to her drawer, fled it open and yanked out her bag.“I said, I need to leave. Tonight and right now. I can't put up with that.”Vexa's expression darkened. “Nyra, what are you talking about? You were requested by a top client. VIP. Big spender. You should be grateful.”“Grateful?” Nyra snapped, tossing her stage heels into her bag. “He touched me twice. And he wouldn’t stop. He pissed me off.”Vexa rose slowly from her seat, as if realizing what her words meant. “What? You sprayed a VIP guest in th
