KIENAWhat in the name of the moon goddess is that? I have seen wolves before, Alpha wolves as well, and while they might all have deathly fangs that can make you piss your pants in fright, this is different.There's something less animally about the fangs in the Zedane's mouth. They look more refined. More like they are meant for poking holes than shredding skin.The fear that slams into me this time is pure and undiluted, pushing my arousal down a drain I didn't even know existed until this moment.He notices the terror on my face, and I swear his smile broadens. “Don't fight me, little poison. It turns me on. And you don't want to see what happens when I am turned on by fear.”There's a hint of psychopathy in the way he utters those words. His red gaze travels over the skin on my neck.“Do you want me to bite? I know you taste good. I tasted you already.” He swipes his tongue over his bottom lip and releases a sound that could be considered a moan if it didn't vibrate through the w

KIENANothing says terror like the look on Zedanes's face as I stand in the doorway of his room. For once, I regret not listening to someone's advice.His eyes are a dark shade of red, veins pulsing from the hands he has clenched so tightly I fear they might snap. He inches one slow inch after another in my direction, and I retreat.“What are you doing, Zedane? Knock it out.” I admonish. “You're hurting the pack, and that's not how an Alpha should treat the wolves under his command.”A low growl emanates from his chest, vibrating through the air and causing fear to grip me like a vise around the throat.“My venom.” His lips part in a smile that sends chills racing along my spine.“Excuse me? What venom? Were you poisoned?”He shakes his head, as though he's trying to clear it, and he takes a step backward; face devoid of the lunacy I met when I first walked in.Tentatively, I walk in his direction, offering him support because despite my feelings towards the man, I know for a fact tha

ZEDANEEverything is wrong. Taste, smell, sight; all of it. A haze of madness cloaks my mind, pushing every last ounce of sanity out of my grasp. I shake my head in an attempt to clear the fog that’s sitting over my thoughts and everything else.The plate in front of me is swiped off the table with a violent growl that shakes the roof of the manor, sending terror through every nook and cranny. I hate losing control. It takes me back to a time where all I knew was vulnerability.My breaths come out in short pants, anger and helplessness struggling for dominance inside me. I can’t succumb to the feeling that is struggling to drag me under and spit me out only after it has had its way with me.“Are you okay, Alpha?” A voice I can vaguely register asks from somewhere around me, but I can’t force a response out for their sake – or mine.The winds howl in protest as I battle against the pull of insanity. The draw of lust on me is becoming more powerful with each breath I take and I let out

KIENAIt's been a whole month, one entire month since I got back to the pack, and that douchebag Alpha wolf, who should also be my mate, has been treating me to the coldest set of shoulders I've ever seen.He barely speaks to me, matter of fact, we barely even cross parts. But like the idiot that I am, I run outside hoping to catch a glimpse of him after I heard his enraged howl, but once again I'm met with cold eyes, curt words and an all round disinterest in anything that concerns me.I step out of the shower feeling even worse than I had when I stepped in. I don't even understand why my wolf is intent of not speaking to me, yet overpowering me with her excessive emotions. Like the very unnecessary guilt I'm feeling right now, even though he has made it clear that he was only concerned for his pack and not me.My head snaps in the direction of the door as a knock rings out. "Who's there?""Lina." The tiny voice on the other side of the door calls back.I sigh as I walk over and pull

ZEDANEIt's been a whole month since I found Kiena lying half-dead beneath the bushes that were cut into a makeshift tent for her. Whoever it was that took her wanted me to find her, and probably dead too.I can still taste the dangerous flavor of fear that had cloaked me after I found her in that position. It was something I had succeeded in preventing for well over a decade, almost two, but in a single moment, a woman was able to bring it right back."Are you even here?" Lunil asks along the bond we share with the pack.My eyes snap in the direction that his mental voice came from and our eyes lock on each other. I nod once to let him know that all is well and then pick up the pace, but he isn't far behind."You don't look like all is well with you. You've let the same rabbit run past you twice without so much as blinking in its direction, and that's very unlike you. You're an exceptionally skilled hunter, something has to be wrong if you're missing game like that."I cut him a glar

KIENAMy eyes feel heavy but I force them open, feeling the pressure in my head intensify as my body begins to stir awake. The endless dabble between consciousness and unconsciousness has left me feeling drained and weary.My mind vaguely registers the fact that Zedane is still sitting beside my bed. I wonder how long he has been in that position. He thrusts a glass of water in my direction. "Here. Have a drink."I close my eyes shut again. I can't stand the cold intensity of his gaze right now. I'm already in enough pain as it is, and the fact that I cannot even remember anything that happened after I was plucked up in front of the gates makes it all that worse."This isn't the time to play childish games, Kiena. Have something to drink, we need to have a talk." Just like his eyes, his voice is also steel hard and devoid of emotions, except maybe anger.I try to get into a sitting position after I manage to pry my eyes open, but a groan works its way through me an I slink back down,

ALINA Alongside the anger that swirled inside of me was something else. Something darker, more potent, and definitely more powerful. I clenched my thighs together, forcing myself to breathe in and out before I did something as reckless as lunge at him - in anger or heat, I wasn't even sure which."Look, Theon, I know what we had was..."He cut me off before I even finished giving him the apology I was now certain would help us move past this."That's not what this is about. There was something in the drink you just swallowed.""Excuse me?" I sounded just as confused as I felt.He leaned in closer, lips grazing along my ear as he spoke. "You've been drugged."I almost laughed at the audacity of that accusation, and maybe I would have if his closeness wasn't doing strange things to my body. My nipples were pebbled beneath the thin fabric of my dress, my southgates flooding with anticipation at the promise of pleasure it could still very much remember.My palms splayed open on his che

THEONThe scotch hit the back of my throat hard and left me feeling less agitated than I had when I first finished speaking with Alina on the phone. The woman was stuck somewhere under my skin and it was impossible to get her out. The fact that the reverse seemed to be happening with her was making me want to punch a hole through the wall, or give her more of those orgasms but this time strong enough to leave an imprint of me on her skin.“Earth to Theon,” Byron’s amused voice cut through the fog that’s settled over my mind.My eyes focused on him and I smiled. “Something wrong?”“Aside the fact that you’re a million miles away from here? Not really.” He clapped a hand on my shoulder. “What has got you so preoccupied?”“Nothing. Just… this isn’t really my scene.”"Mm." Byron hummed. I didn't respond.I looked around at the black design of the lounge we were sitting in. There were swirls of gold everywhere in the club, the blast of party music hitting the walls as the neon disco rotated

ALINA“That man is so annoying,” I grumbled as I put my phone down with a frown.“What has he done now?” Tatiana asked as she walked in, startling me. I hadn’t heard the door close as she came in.Was I that lost in thought?“Are you going to give me a response any time soon?” she prompted.I snapped out of my musing and shook my head. “He’s being all condescending. Sounds like he’s nothing more than my employer, giving me orders already too. It’s all so… ugh!”“Well…” Tatiana said, then left the comment hanging just like that.“Well what?” I turned to her with a frown.“It’s rather obvious why he will be so annoying as you say.” The annoying part she said doing air quotes.“What the hell is that supposed to mean?” my words were starting to sound as annoyed as I felt, and if Tati wasn’t careful, she’d be wearing the cup of coffee in my hands before she left this space.“You know exactly what I mean, Lina. We both met that man last night and he wasn’t even a little bit annoying. How cou

THEONMy head was swimming with thoughts that moved between anger and just plain frustration. I wanted to smack something against the wall, or some sense into a certain someone who was hell bent on acting like last night never happened.“Mr. Murphy.” Aaron, my executive assistant called as he walked into the room.I turned my blank stare away from the open screen of my computer to focus on him instead. He looked like there was something above his paygrade going wrong in this instant.“What’s wrong?” My voice was flat. Despite my best efforts to sound interested in the affairs of today, a certain dark-haired woman was taking up far too much space in my head than I was comfortable with.“Your brother is here to see you. He insists that we let him in, and that he doesn’t need an appointment because he is family.” I let out a heavy sigh. It wasn’t exactly unlike Byron to show up unannounced to the company demanding to see me. “Let him in.”Aaron inclined his head in a nod and turned on h

ALINA“You asked to see me, Dr,” I said as I walked into the office of the chief of surgery, Dr. Nolan.The older man raised his head to look at me, turning away from the open screen before him. “Nurse Stone. Please, have a seat.”He gestured to the vacant seat on the other side of his desk and I lowered myself into it. I folded my arms on my lap, gaze still locked on his as I waited for him to speak. He cleared his throat before he finally spoke. “It was brought to my attention that your service was requested in the home of the Murphys.”“Yes, Dr. Mr Murphy specifically asked that I take on the role of private care nurse for his sick grandfather, but I don’t think I should be the one to handle a task as peculiar as that.”“And why not?” “Because the man just had open heart surgery and…”His words cut through the office, silencing my excuse before I even finished voicing it. “Are you in any way insinuating that you don’t have enough medical knowledge or expertise to take on the dutie

ALINAMy heart was in my throat, and every single one of the nurses in the emergency unit currently had their eyes trained on me. I forced a huge gulp of air down my nose and spoke up.“M… me?” My words stuttered even though I’d been intending to sound in control.The look on Theon’s face didn’t waver even slightly; his eyes still burned with anger and at this point I wasn’t sure if it was directed at me or the other nurses gathered around.“Did I stutter?” His voice was harsh, cutting through the air like a flash of lightning.“No, The…” I paused, realizing my mistake. “Mr. Murphy, I apologize but I will have to decline that offer.”Tatiana grabbed hold of my arm and shook me slightly. “What the hell are you doing?”I ignored her, pulling my arm out of her grasp.“Mr. Murphy, Alina just started here and is not yet verified to take on jobs outside the hospital where she cannot be supervised.” Jess took a step forward, drawing Theon’s attention away from me and back to herself. “You can
