Mag-log inDrevena pov“Who wants to play with me next?”Screams.Raw, piercing, terrified screams tore through the air as people ran for their lives. Bodies stumbled over each other, desperate to escape, desperate not to be next. The headless corpse lay sprawled on the ground, blood pooling beneath it, the metallic scent thick in the air but I didn’t spare it a glance.My eyes were fixed on the two standing before me.My preys.They stared back at me, fear and caution flickering in their eyes, the arrogance from before completely wiped away but that was the funny thing about humans.They feared what they couldn’t understand.They feared power.Feared anything stronger than them, anything that could crush them without effort but when it came to someone weaker?My lips curled slowly, stretching into something wide. Unsettling.My head tilted, my eyes flashing gold for just a second, sharp and unnatural. My teeth lengthened briefly into fangs before slipping back into place.They became the very
Lilith povLaughter.Slow, deliberate, and cruel, it spilled from Drevena’s 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 wasn’t the one she used when we fought with the elders’ sons—no, that time she hadn’t intended to kill.This…This 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 die…a 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 all…was 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 wasn’t 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 didn’t 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.“Ah, what did I tell you, Isla?” George’s smooth voice cut through the silence, light and almost amused as he turned toward one of the twins. “Why are you so impatient? Don’t you know it’
“Are you sure about this?”I 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.“Yes. I am sure about this, Beta Lilith.”Theila’s voice matched mine—calm, sharp, and just as serious.I didn’t 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.“This is our last chance, Theila,” I said quietly. “If you can do this, we win. We walk out of here victorious.”A pause.“Are you ready?”Theila 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 everyone’s 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 Theila’s 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 me…That was what caught me off guard.I couldn’t understand it. Even as their Beta, asking an Alpha from the third-strongest pack to look after me, it caught me off guard.I wasn’t 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 you’ve been hit by a truck, or thrown off a tall building, only to realize it’s 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 mind—heat, blurred touches, voices, hands until everything had become too much and I’d slipped into darkness.And now…Now I was awake.Bruises and marks littered my skin, enough to make anyone stop and stare. Enough to make Theila and Lora’s eyes widen so much it looked like they might pop out.“Wow… Beta Lilith, were you with an animal last night?”Lora 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 knew…Not one.Three.The thought alone made my
Silas pov Six hours ago. Something was wrong. Something that made me uneasy. Something I couldn’t quite place, but my gut knew, knew that something was off. As I sat, legs crossed in the moving car, my mind wasn’t on the book in my hands, nor on my gamma’s words as he drove, his voice carrying t
Dervic povHunger. That was all I felt.The insatiable hunger inside me to feel lives slowly fade beneath my hands, to feel their pulse weaken as my fingers tightened around their throats. The desire to watch that flicker of fear in their eyes dim and dim until nothing remained. The urge— viole
Lilith pov“The number you have dialed is not reachable at the moment. Please try again later.”“The number you have dialed is not reachable at the moment. Please try again later.”I tried Kael's number again and again, but each time the call disconnected, making me bite my bottom lip hard. My eye
Lilith pov“Lilith!”I heard someone call my name as a sharp pain shot through my skull, causing everything around me to blur but I forced it down and looked up and the moment I did, my heart went cold, breath stolen from my lungs.Lora was on the ground, staring at me with tears streaming down her
