Tamara’s POV

I could see the weariness in his eyes, the frustration that rose just under the surface, where he thought I wouldn’t notice it. I reached over and took his hand, giving it a reassuring squeeze.

“It’ll be fine,” I said softly. “I’m ready for whatever she or anyone tries to throws my way. And besides, I have you, don’t I?”

He met my gaze, his eyes softening as he nodded. “You do. And I’m not going anywhere.”

We sat there in comfortable silence for a moment, just holding each other.

  • Her thirst for vengeance   My daughter

    Anna’s povI sat on the edge of my small bed, staring at the folded piece of thick parchment in my hands.The red **X** marked directly over my daughter’s bedroom burned into my retinas.*The Alpha's distraction is complete. Proceed with stage two tomorrow night.*My first instinct last night had been to run straight to Chris, to shove this paper in his face, and demand he lock down the entire house. But as the cold morning light filtered through the dusty window, my rational mind kicked in.There truly was a mole in this pack house, someone high enough to know guard rotations and secure layout maps. Chris was blindly trusting the people around him. If I handed this map to him, it could instantly alert the traitor that we knew. I couldn't trust Chris to handle this safely. Not yet.I carefully slid the parchment into a hidden zippered pocket inside my tactical bag.I pulled out my phone and tapped the screen. Nothing. No missed calls, no texts from Dorian after our explosive argument

  • Her thirst for vengeance   Business

    Anna's povtook another slow, deliberate sip of my water, letting the heavy silence stretch across the table. Lily was practically vibrating with rage beside Chris, her fingernails still digging into the linen tablecloth, but I didn't give her a second glance."Business," I repeated, setting the glass down. "Good. Because I didn't come back to play house."Chris leaned forward, resting his thick forearms against the edge of the mahogany table. The hard, commanding Alpha presence he usually wore was there, but beneath it, I could see the faint shadows of exhaustion dark under his amber eyes."The attacks aren't random anymore, Anna," Chris said, his voice dropping into a low, serious tone. "Over the last three months, rogue packs have been hitting our outer supply lines with terrifying precision. Every time we shift a patrol route, they hit the secondary line forty-eight hours later. We're losing warriors, and the southern border is practically crumbling.""Because your patrol formatio

  • Her thirst for vengeance   Lilly is pissed

    Anna's povI had stripped off my heavy travel jacket and put on a crisp, fitted black blouse with tailored trousers. My long black hair was pulled back into a sleek, tight ponytail. I walked with my head held high, my posture straight, carrying myself not like a guest, but like the commander I had trained to be.Behind me, walking nervously, was Ella. She was carrying a few of my things, with her head still low, but I kept her right behind my shoulder.When I stepped into the grand dining room, the atmosphere instantly shifted.The long mahogany table was set for dinner. Sitting at the head of the table was Chris. To his right sat Lily, looking radiant in a dark pink silk dress, her golden hair resting over her shoulders.The moment I crossed the threshold, Chris stopped mid-sentence.He froze completely. His fork hovered inches from his plate as his dark amber eyes locked onto me. He looked at my face, my dark outfit, the calm, lethal authority in my eyes, and he couldn't look away.

  • Her thirst for vengeance   Chris is weird

    Anna's povChris stood in the narrow doorway of my tiny room, with his dark eyes glued to my face.The arrogance that had been on his face just a second ago was completely gone. His breath was warm on my skin, and the intense heat of his chest pressed right against my palms. He suddenly tilted his head slightly, with his eyes dropping down to my lips.Then slowly, Chris leaned in closer. He took a deep, shuddering breath, inhaling my scent deeply, just like he used to do when we were mates, back when he still loved me.But at that memory, a sudden jolt of pure panic shot through my veins."Get off me!" I gasped.I put my hands against his chest and shoved him away with every single ounce of strength I had.Chris stumbled back a step into the hallway, his boots catching on the floorboards. I quickly backed away until the small wooden desk hit the back of my legs. My chest was heaving, my heart hammering like a trapped bird against my ribs."What is wrong with you?" I demanded, my voic

  • Her thirst for vengeance   Home sweet home

    Anna's povLily led me down a long, dark hallway toward the far back corner of the guest wing. The floors here were unpolished wood, and the air smelled like dust and damp air.She stopped in front of a heavy wooden door and pushed it open.I stepped inside and looked around. The room was tiny. There was a narrow single bed, a small wooden desk, and a tiny window that looked out onto the trash bins behind the kitchen. It wasn't even four feet away from the back servant stairs. This wasn't a room for a former Luna. It wasn't even a room for a guest. It was a room for low-level staff.Lily hovered in the doorway, watching my face like a hawk, waiting for me to break. She was waiting for me to scream, to complain, to give her something to run and report to Chris.But I kept my face completely blank. I set my tactical duffel bag onto the small bed without saying a single word.Lily’s eyes narrowed slightly when I didn't react. She cleared her throat and stepped into the room, folding her

  • Her thirst for vengeance   Coming back

    Anna's povThe engine hummed softly as the car cut through the dark night, the trees on either side of the dirt road blurring into shadowy lines.Mike kept his hands tight on the steering wheel, glancing sideways at me every few seconds. The quiet between us was heavy, filled with things left unsaid for a whole year."I'm going to support you all the way, Anna," Mike said softly, breaking the silence. His voice was full of deep concern. "No matter what happens in there, you won't be doing it alone this time."I looked out the window, watching the boundary stones of my former Pack territory draw closer. "Thank you, Mike."Mike swallowed hard, his dark eyes shining with guilt. "I'm so sorry, Anna. For what Chris did to you... for everything that happened that night. I blame myself every single day. I should have protected you more. I should have stood between him and you."My chest tightened, but I turned to him with a gentle expression. "It's okay, Mike. You don't need to carry that bu
