MasukLilith povLaughter.Slow, deliberate, and cruel, it spilled from Drevenaâs lips.The sound made my heart pound violently against my ribs, a cold shiver crawling down my spine.I knew that laugh. Far too well.It wasnât the one she used when we fought with the eldersâ sonsâno, that time she hadnât intended to kill.ThisâŚThis was different.This was the same laugh from that day, the day she slaughtered those rogues and as I was shoved back into my own consciousness, my control slipping completely from my grasp, only one thought echoed in my mind.Those rogues were going to dieâŚa very brutal death.Dravena povSilence fell.A heavy, suffocating silence that swallowed everything whole. No one spoke. No one dared to move. Even the air itself felt tight, waiting⌠anticipating.And in the center of it allâŚwas me.All eyes were fixed on me as laughter bubbled up my throat before I could stop it. Low at first, then louder. Wilder. I threw my head back, my shoulders rolling as it spilled out
The people from the party.I recognized them.The identical twins and the man who had introduced himself as George, now surrounded us, their gazes locked on us with matching smirks. The kind a wolf wore just before tearing into its prey. Their eyes gleamed with sick delight.I wasnât overthinking it.My instincts were right.That stench of death, the kind that clung to those who had taken too many lives rolled off them in waves. I didnât need to know who they were or what they had done.But i knew, without a doubt, they were dangerous and somehow, they were here for me.I stood still, gripping Theila slightly as I pulled her just a fraction behind me, my eyes narrowing, my heart pounding steadily against my chest.The air tightened.For a moment, no one moved, no one spoke.Then, the tension snapped.âAh, what did I tell you, Isla?â Georgeâs smooth voice cut through the silence, light and almost amused as he turned toward one of the twins. âWhy are you so impatient? Donât you know itâ
âAre you sure about this?âI asked, my expression serious, my eyes cold, edged with something sharp, almost deadly as I stood straight, the tension in the air stretched so tight it felt like it could snap at any second.âYes. I am sure about this, Beta Lilith.âTheilaâs voice matched mineâcalm, sharp, and just as serious.I didnât look at her at first. I simply nodded once, reaching for the cold metal on the table before handing it to her. My eyes flicked to hers as I spoke, like whatever we were about to do was the most important mission of our lives.And honestly⌠it felt like it.âThis is our last chance, Theila,â I said quietly. âIf you can do this, we win. We walk out of here victorious.âA pause.âAre you ready?âTheila turned to me, her expression mirroring mine. Her white hair was neatly tied back, her gaze steady as it dropped to what I held out to her.Then she nodded.She took it.And under everyoneâs gaze. Under Lora and Verya, who now stood together as a team, Lora swallo
Lilith pov.I was surprised.As I stared at Verya, hearing Theilaâs words, I was really surprised. Not because the Alphas had asked Verya to look after the packhouse, I could understand that after what happened the last time they were away but the fact that they had also asked her to look after meâŚThat was what caught me off guard.I couldnât understand it. Even as their Beta, asking an Alpha from the third-strongest pack to look after me, it caught me off guard.I wasnât that important, and yet⌠something warm stirred in my chest.They cared about me. They cared enough to look out for my safety.The thought flashed through my mind, and before I could stop it, a soft, fluttery feeling surged inside me. For a brief, ridiculous moment, the image of those three ruthless men who had gone out of their way to cook for me just to make me happy popped into my head.Heat crawled up my cheeks, and the corners of my lips lifted into a small, soft smile.But then, before I could process anythin
Lilith pov You know that feeling like youâve been hit by a truck, or thrown off a tall building, only to realize itâs just a vicious hangover that makes your head feel like it's splitting open?Yeah⌠this was worse.Every inch of my body ached, heavy and sore, the kind of exhaustion that sank deep into my bones. Fragments of last night flickered through my mindâheat, blurred touches, voices, hands until everything had become too much and Iâd slipped into darkness.And nowâŚNow I was awake.Bruises and marks littered my skin, enough to make anyone stop and stare. Enough to make Theila and Loraâs eyes widen so much it looked like they might pop out.âWow⌠Beta Lilith, were you with an animal last night?âLora blurted out before she could stop herself, standing beside Theila with a tray in her hands.I froze.Sitting up slightly, the thin sheet barely covering my body, heat rushed up my neck, my face burning instantly.Animal?If only she knewâŚNot one.Three.The thought alone made my
Leo pov Authorâs note: In case it isnât clear, this is the POV of Verekâs assassin, the one who usually keeps his hair over his face.What was your desire to keep living?What was your purpose for breathing?Mine was simple.My name is Leoâone of Verekâs assassins. The deadliest. The strongest of the four. The one who death follows.And I had only one reason to stay alive.Him.Verek.The leader of all rogues. The man who sought to stand above all werewolves, above every pack, every Alpha.And it was my duty⌠to follow him. To be useful to him. Even if it cost me my life.Why?Because he was my savior.âDid you hear that the mother of that blonde Beta died?âGeorge said with a smirk, lazily swirling the glass of wine in his hand, his eyes glinting with amusement, the kind of careless mischief he directed at everything around him.Seated on his lap, his mate, Isla, laughed softly, her hand resting against his chest.âHaha, I heard. And do you know what makes it even funnier?â she adde
Lilith pov My heart pounded, I could hear the rapid thump against my chest as I collapsed to the ground, staring at the woman on the throne who looked exactly like me.Her hair, her face, her body⌠she was my exact replica, yet somehow, she wasnât.The glint in her eyes was different, sharp, pierc
Lilith pov âThis is the first time the Alphas have ever summoned a specific maid. They usually ignore everyone here, but this time they asked for you!â Lora said as we walked down the hall of the packhouse, her voice light and cheerful, as though she were speaking to an old friend. No hint of ho
Lilith povFuck. That was the only word that could cross my mind at that moment as I sat at the edge of the desk, watching Silas drop to his knees. His eyes were locked on me, hands gripping my thighs apart, and his face⌠oh goddess, his face was so close to my pussy that I could feel his faint b
Lilith povI whipped my head around so fast I thought Iâd nearly snapped my neck when Silas asked that question. My eyes widened in shock as I stared at him, waiting for him to repeat himself, hoping Iâd misheard. But his expression was blank, his eyes fixed on me, watching my reaction and that wa
