Chapter: Chapter 119“Ha!” I breathed.I didn’t have any words in my mouth. I spun.“If you leave. We won't meet again till tomorrow.”I turned back. “What? What do you mean?”He raised his chin, his chest pushed out. My eyes fell to it. His shirt was buttoned at the base only, the last two buttons. Everything else was open. I was granted a wide V view of his firm, sculptured torso.I swallowed. My eyes drifted back up to his.He had not moved an inch. The fire in his eyes had not reduced a single degree.I took a step back, the open door, my lifeline, pressed against my bare back, grounding me.I took deep breaths.“Jayden.”“Adrian.”“You used to be with my brother.”He froze. He hadn’t been moving, but his entire being stilled. Just like Lee’s face had during our lunch.And just like with my brother, I waited.After what seemed like a long time, he exhaled roughly through his nose. His lips pressed tight

Chapter: Chapter 118It almost felt like once I entered, the houses would spin, and nobody would be able to tell which apartment I was in.Once my delusion ended, I used the key card on the access board and let myself in.I had never been more embarrassed in my life.The curtains were drawn down here, or the blinds were, I wasn’t sure. All I did know was that it was darker inside than it should have been at 5 p.m., so something was blocking the light from outside.Regardless of this, the rose petals on the floor were visible enough.There were no lights. Soft music filled the air, and a peculiar scent made my legs move, calling out to my tired body.I followed the path, my face burning, my hands trembling. There were stairs, but the flowers didn’t lead there.I passed two sitting areas, a place that looked like a piano room, an indoor swimming pool, and went back outside.There were little lights now, battery or solar-powered, shaped like candles.

Chapter: Chapter 117“Thank you, Sir. It is my pleasure to be of service to you. We should arrive at the airport in thirty minutes.”He raised the divider.I stared at the veritable wall, my hands trembling in my lap as I held the package.The car moved, and I jolted. Beads of sweat had formed on my forehead in just seconds. I swallowed with difficulty.I opened the envelope and turned it upside down. A phone fell out. A note was on it. I shook the envelope. Nothing else followed.I unfolded the note. It was handwritten. Two lines. Three sentences.-- Use this phone. Only this phone.-- Call ME.I tapped the phone. I glanced at the note again and checked the address book. There it was, ‘ME’.I tapped the name, title, or whatever it was, and held the phone shakily against my ear.“Hey, you.”“Ha!” I breathed, slumping against the chair and crossing my legs tightly.A low laugh rolled through the device,

Chapter: Chapter 116Then I remembered that I was sending something very useful for my watchers. My grip relaxed.“That’s fine. We have other channels.”“Sir. There’s been an incident.”I closed my eyes. “What now?” I growled, my voice low as I turned my back to my brother.“A shipment was intercepted at sea, Sir. A random check. Everything has been confiscated by the authorities.”It took all my self-control not to split the fucking table with a decisive punch. The wood was slim enough.I hunched my shoulders, lowering my head. “When?”“All communications were blocked, Sir. It’s our people at the port who shared the news five minutes ago. The actual incident could have occurred as much as three hours beforehand.”“Ten a.m.”“Yes, Sir.”“Shit,” I breathed. “Anything else?”“No, Sir.”“Vega. Get back here. Let someone else handle Florida.”“Yes, Sir.”I hung up. Inhaled deeply, then turned to my Trojan horse

Chapter: Chapter 115Lee raised a brow.Heads turned, but I was far from caring. The ember was smoking, and I would be damned if I didn’t get at least a small flame going.I was tired of getting the run around from someone who was supposed to support me. Tired of managing every word of every sentence every time we conversed.Even Jayden’s assistant spoke to him with more ease and freedom than I did with my own blood brother.In a few minutes, I would embark on a journey, on a path where I would break rules I had spent my life bending over backwards and twisting myself into knots, to follow. Everything in Jayden’s eyes yesterday told me as much.I wanted that to be a good thing, not a nightmare.I was tired of my fear, of my doubts. They were strangling me.I was twenty-one. Wealthy and single. I’d been single my entire life. Afraid of what my father wanted. Afraid to disappoint him. To be judged by him. To be reduced to a harsh statement, as my brother wa

Chapter: Chapter 114“Do you have a time for the airport? I’ve been asked to arrange a car for you.”“That won’t be necessary. I can find my way.”“I’m under instruction, Sir. Please, what time shall I have a car available and from what location?”I stared at him.I saw Jayden’s face in the car from yesterday evening. I heard his words replay.‘Reece is discreet. He knows how to handle my extracurricular activities…’Maybe he has something planned, I considered as I watched the rigid assistant.“Can I let you know later in the day?”He glanced at his watch. I could have sworn he sighed.“It’s 8 o’clock, Sir. How late are you considering –”“I think you’ve been quite presumptuous enough for one day, Mr. Sharden, or would you like me to give a detailed report to your employer about your tone with mine? I have your number. You will be contacted. If that is all, you may leave.”I stood and turned.Reece had

Chapter: Epilogue“He has returned,” Tobias rumbled.“Hmmm,” Misha droned.Christmas celebration this year at Bloodrayne was nowhere near as rambunctious as it had been the year before.The atmosphere was muted, and the attendees were much fewer.They were in the same hall, the same location, as they had always used.No prisoners or fights were on display.No omegas were being pushed around.Bloodrayne had lost much more than they could replace in the one year since the attack by the Alpha King’s minions.Plus, Alpha Tobias could not take his father’s warning lightly, so had kept a much tighter leash on his people’s excesses. And his own.Tobias was at the center of the table, Misha was in his usual place, three spaces down from his father’s right.“Shall we send a gift?” Tobias called out casually.“Of what shall we make it, Father?” Misha called back, not really paying attention as he sipped his spiced wine.“You have always pined for the girl, why not go to her?” Tobias stated evenly.Misha turned la

Chapter: Chapter 201Almost a year later, it was the Christmas Eve celebration at Lightmoon.The hall was packed with pack members and guests from far and wide. the pack Alpha, Marian, sat on the dais with the pack mother and Luna, Luna Diane, her mother’s sister, and their two sons.The pack Beta, Beta Brock, was standing behind Alpha Marian.It was almost midnight.Everyone was anticipating the ball drop.A gong sounded, twice.Everyone stared as they knew it was not yet time. Even the gas for dulling scents had not yet been released.The music stopped.The pack door opened, and the tallest shifter in Lightmoon entered the room.All eyes stared.Since New Year’s, few had seen their Alpha’s firstborn, their last Alpha’s firstborn.As they stared, many took sharp breaths.His resemblance to their former Alpha, Alpha Dax, was undeniable. However, he had a powerful presence of his own.His ey

Chapter: Chapter 200By afternoon, drinks and other foods, both raw and cooked, were coming in from neighbouring packs.It was the first time such had happened, but no shifter alive did not know that Lightmoon had taken many hits since Christmas, and had taken bold steps in defending the entire region.The news of their pack link had spread as well and it was known, and understood, that their pack Alpha was down.The details were unknown, but the sentiments surrounding Lightmoon’s issues were real.People cared.By evening, lights were up.No guests were around. Only deliveries and goodwill messages had been sent.There was no music.People were eating and drinking in muted tones.There was a stark difference between the Christmas Eve party and this one.At midnight, the young shifters who were ready, whose bonds were formed by the moon goddess or by their heart's choice, presented themselves to each other.Those who acce

His rosy cheeks cleared, his face softened.The young lycan swallowed.“I –” he stammered.“Are angry. Justifiably. Everyone in this room is justified in their anger,” Corien stated calmly.Then, Corien’s eyes snapped to Dax.“What will his punishment be?” Corien asked evenly.Dax stared at Corien.Then at Reyland.Then at Dorien.He mumbled something unintelligible.It was not that no one heard his words, it was that his words had been gibberish.“What?” Corien asked softly.“Tomorrow. Let everything wait till tomorrow,” Dax said quietly, straightening his back.“Doctor Byron,” Dax continued.“Yes, my Alpha,” the elder shifter responde

Chapter: Chapter 198Dax stared at Tobias, then turned and walked away, Brock following closely behind him.Marian stared at Misha as Tobias and Eaden headed into the trees.Backing away, Misha mouthed something to Marian, his eyes never leaving hers.Her eyes filled as he faded into the darkness.Reyland was at her side.She took his hand silently, still facing where Misha had vanished.Reyland turned her around and they left the meeting place, side by side.==========Back at Lightmoon, Dorien was being treated by Doctor Byron. Corien and Gravan were in attendance.The heir had been tortured.There were silver needles, large ones, in his mouth. A spell had been placed on his mouth such that, unless he was awake, his mouth could not be opened.Any attempt to ease his pain with medicine resulted in his lips remaining sealed.Corien, stronger now, and with help from Gravan, used a mind meld to help Dorien heal enough to t

It was that he was Misha. He was like nothing and no one she had ever met.Misha backed further away, and suddenly Reyland was behind him.“What, cousin? Could we run from you if we tried?” Misha droned, his eyes on Marian, his head slightly inclined backward toward Reyland.Marian eyed the two. It was an interesting view.Misha was about six-four. Reyland was six-eight.Misha was as sleek and trim as ever. Reyland was thicker and wider than him.Misha was sultry and sensual down t

„Ich lehne dich ab, Marian Storm!“ Das waren Worte, die sie niemals von dem Alpha-Erben ihres Vaters erwartet hätte.
Und schon gar nicht bei der Neujahrsfeier vor den Augen der gesamten Meute.
Marian verließ das Gelände der Meute, das drei Jahre lang ihr Gefängnis gewesen war, mit gebrochenem Herzen und fest entschlossen, niemals zurückzukehren. Aber sie wusste, dass sie es tun würde, dass sie es musste.
Nach ihrer Zurückweisung war der einzige Wunsch, der ihr noch blieb, den Alpha zu töten, der den Rudel ihres Vaters übernommen hatte. Wenn ihr das nicht gelänge, würde sie den Rudel verlassen und eine Einzelgängerin werden.
Sie kehrt zu Weihnachten nach Hause zurück, um an der Gedenkfeier für ihre verstorbene Familie teilzunehmen. Am Heiligabend, während der Mistelzeremonie des Rudels, erhält sie ein Geschenk, das sie nie erwartet hätte, ein Geschenk, das niemand wollte – Reyland, den leiblichen Sohn des Alphas, den sie zu töten geschworen hat.
Würde dieses Geschenk der Mondgöttin Marian helfen, ihren Wunsch zu erfüllen, ihr Rudel zurückzugewinnen, oder würde es neue Leidenschaften in ihrem gebrochenen Herzen wecken und sie stattdessen verzehren?

Chapter: Kapitel 154 Mishas Stimmung hatte sich wieder geändert.Diesmal verstand Marian.Dieses Wesen amüsiert sich! Sie dachte nach, ihr Kopf schwirrte, während sie die Lippen zusammenpresste und die Fäuste ballte.„Ich werde den Alpha fragen“, antwortete sie ruhig.„Mach dir keine Mühe. Bring ihn einfach her, dann kann er deine Fragen stellen“, unterbrach Misha sie freundlich.„Ich werde ihn holen. Aber ich brauche dringend Informationen“, erklärte sie entschlossen.„Und du glaubst, ich werde sie dir geben?“, fragte Misha mit hochgezogener Augenbraue.„Ich weiß, dass du das tun wirst“, antwortete Marian ruhig.„Ach ja?“, spottete Misha.„Dein Vater ist verschwunden. Du musst zu deinem Rudel zurückkehren. Hilf mir, und ich werde dir helfen“, antwortete Marian selbstbewusst.„Und womit, im Namen des Mondes, könnte mir eine gefallene Prinzessin denn helfen?“, warf Misha beiläufig zurück.„Selbst jemand, der so schön is

Chapter: Kapitel 153 „Ich habe ein paar Fragen an dich, Misha“, sagte Marian langsam.Der eingesperrte Wolf zitterte sichtbar.„Ist dir kalt?“, fragte Marian, etwas schroffer und mit weitaus mehr Besorgnis, als sie beabsichtigt hatte.Misha lächelte verschämt.„Deine Laken sind für normale Wölfe gemacht“, bemerkte er beiläufig und zuckte mit den Schultern. Die Decke rutschte weiter herunter, und Marian spürte, wie ihr Puls schneller wurde.Es waren nicht die Pheromone. Nicht im Geringsten.Irgendwie machte diese Tatsache die Sache noch schlimmer.Ich muss hier raus, dachte Marian.Mishas Augen verengten sich.Dann zog er die Decke zurecht und hob sie über seine gebeugte Schulter.„Bist du verletzt?“, fragte Marian erneut, zu besorgt, als dass ihr Gewissen es zulassen würde, darüber hinwegzugehen.„Sind das die Fragen, meine Prinzessin?“„Woher wusstest du, wer ich bin?“, hakte sie nach, als ihr plötzlich die Fra

Chapter: Kapitel 152 Die Art, wie seine Augen über Marian glitten, als sie in sein Blickfeld trat, hätte sie genauso gut seine Frau sein können, die sich ihm näherte, während er auf dem Bett lag.Nur dass er nicht auf einem Bett lag, sondern auf einem kalten Steinboden, und sie nicht seine Frau war, sondern seine Entführerin.Er sah sie an, wie Freunde es taten, aber diesmal schnurrte Dinka.Während seine Männer sie angestarrt hatten, als wäre sie ein Stück Fleisch, das man verwüsten und verschlingen könnte, musterte er sie mit seinen ruhigen, klaren Augen, als wäre sie etwas ganz Neues, das ihm gerade geschenkt worden war und das er bewunderte.Der schmutzige Wolf lächelte ein Lächeln, von dem Marian wusste, dass es vielen Wölfinnen viel Verlust und Schmerz bereitet haben musste.Der Gestaltwandler auf dem Boden war schmutzig. Natürlich war er das; er hatte gekämpft, im Schnee, im Wald, Blut war vergossen worden, und der Kerker war kein Ort der Erholung.Es gab

Chapter: Kapitel 151 Bloodrayne-Wölfe waren größer als die meisten anderen, sowohl in ihrer Wolfs- als auch in ihrer Menschengestalt.Es war schwer, einen Bloodrayne-Shifter zu finden, der kleiner als 1,80 Meter war, es sei denn, es handelte sich um eine Frau.Drei Zellen waren mit den fünfunddreißig verletzten, blutenden Gestaltwandlern aus Bloodrayne vollgestopft, von denen keiner kleiner als 1,88 Meter war oder weniger als mindestens zwei normale Gestaltwandler zusammen wog.Selbst wenn sie sich duckten oder hockten, war der Größenunterschied offensichtlich.Sie waren alle mürrisch, aber selbst in ihrer Unbehaglichkeit strahlten sie Stolz aus.Alle Bloodrayne-Gefangenen wurden von den anderen Gefangenen getrennt untergebracht.Sie befanden sich alle auf der fünften Ebene.Diejenigen aus der Schlacht bei Bloodrayne und diejenigen, die den Angriff auf Reyland überlebt hatten.Es gab noch zwei weitere Ebenen – wo sie, Gravan und, wie sie erst wenig

Chapter: Kapitel 150 „Wie viele würden wissen, was du über die Ereignisse auf dem Schlachtfeld herausgefunden hast, und dennoch ihre Worte für sich behalten?“ Byron fuhr ruhig fort und sah Marian wissend an.„Doktor“, hauchte Marian, ihre Augen füllten sich erneut mit Tränen, während sie Reyland unverwandt ansah.„Du weißt, was der edle Erbe getan hat, aber du sagst nichts“, fuhr Byron ruhig fort.„Doc ...“, stammelte Marian und schüttelte langsam den Kopf.„Ich weiß, was er getan hat. Jackson hat es mir erzählt. Und an deiner Aura vorhin war klar zu erkennen, was du tun wolltest. Und ich kenne dich, Prinzessin, du würdest nicht plötzlich und ohne Grund seinen Kopf wollen“, erklärte Byron ruhig, bevor Marian fragen konnte.Marian riss die Augen auf, als sie den alten Arzt endlich ansah.Sie blickte sich in dem geschlossenen Raum um.Von ihrem Standpunkt aus war sie mit dem Rücken zur Tür.„Niemand kann uns hören.

Chapter: Kapitel 149 „Beruhige dich, Prinzessin, setz dich“, bat Byron beruhigend und deutete auf den Stuhl neben Reylands Bett.Marian setzte sich zögernd auf den Stuhl, den zuvor Dorien und dann Dax benutzt hatten.Sie saß aufrecht da, die Hände auf den Oberschenkeln, und sah den älteren Gestaltwandler an.Byron setzte Corien auf einen anderen Stuhl neben der Tür.Sobald er saß, schloss Corien die Augen; sein Gesicht war regungslos, blass und eingefallen.Ohne nachzudenken griff Marian nach Reylands Hand und hielt sie fest.Byron wandte sich wieder ihr zu. Er steckte die Hände in die Taschen seines weißen Kittels.„Erinnern Sie sich daran, wie Sie sich gefühlt haben, als der edle Erbe Sie zurückgewiesen hat?“, fragte er ruhig.Marian hob die Augenbrauen und starrte den Arzt an.Ihre Lippen pressten sich aufeinander.„Haben Sie Geduld mit mir, Prinzessin. Erinnern Sie sich?“, fragte er sanft.„Ja“, antwortete Marian knapp.
