LOGINLilith pov.I was surprised.As I stared at Verya, hearing Theilaās 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 meā¦That was what caught me off guard.I couldnāt understand it. Even as their Beta, asking an Alpha from the third-strongest pack to look after me, it caught me off guard.I wasnāt 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 youāve been hit by a truck, or thrown off a tall building, only to realize itās 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 mindāheat, blurred touches, voices, hands until everything had become too much and Iād slipped into darkness.And nowā¦Now I was awake.Bruises and marks littered my skin, enough to make anyone stop and stare. Enough to make Theila and Loraās eyes widen so much it looked like they might pop out.āWow⦠Beta Lilith, were you with an animal last night?āLora 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 knewā¦Not one.Three.The thought alone made my
Leo pov Authorās note: In case it isnāt clear, this is the POV of Verekās 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 Leoāone of Verekās 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.āDid you hear that the mother of that blonde Beta died?āGeorge 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.āHaha, I heard. And do you know what makes it even funnier?ā she adde
Lilith povI was trembling.Not from the cold. Not from nerves. Not from fear.NoāI was trembling because I was in bliss.Overwhelmed.Consumed.Intoxicated.My eyes were wide, dazed, nearly rolling back, my cheeks flushed a deep, heated pink. My lips stayed parted perfectly around him, around Lucien, his thickness pressing deep, pulsing faintly against the back of my throat as if he needed more, demanded it.I breathed through my nose, slow and unsteady, my mouth full and a soft, broken moan slipped out of me.The vibration traveled through him.āFuckāāHe grunted.He felt it.I knew he did.But I barely heard him. Barely registered anything beyond the way my body was unraveling because behind meā¦Silas.His hands were firm on my inner thighs, holding me open, keeping me exactly where he wanted me.And goddess, his mouthā¦That heat.That slow, relentless pressure against my dripping clitā¦A sharp gasp tore through me, muffled, my body jolting as pleasure surged all at once. My finge
Lilith povāPlease⦠take me, Lilith.āA groan slipped from Lucienās lipsālow, deep, and wrecked, cutting through the night.The air thickened instantly, turning heavy, suffocating, charged with raw tension.My lips pressed against his neck, slow and deliberate, feeling the way his body reacted to me.The way I reacted to him.The way everything blurred, until there was nothing left but him.The tall, intimidating man beneath me.My back arched, a strained breath leaving me as he pushed into me, like he couldnāt help it.Like he was desperate.Just as I wanted him to be.My hand tightened around his throat, not enough to hurt, just enough to hold him there. A slow smile curved my lips as my teeth grazed his skin, dragging lightly, teasing.For a moment, the urge to let my fangs sink into him surged, wild and consuming but I held back.Instead, I pressed myself closer, letting him feel the heat of me, just enough to make his breath hitch.He shuddered.They watched.Silas and Claude, th
Lilith povHot.I felt so hot, like my whole body was on fire. My face burned, my body trembled, my eyes glassy as my breathing came slow and uneven, everything blurred at the edges but most of all⦠my inner thighs pressed tight together, my core slick, not from the water but from something deeper, something aching and restless.Was this because I was in heat?No. It wasnāt. I knew what that felt likeāsharp, insistent, a warning clawing through my mind, it felt primal, like I had to mate or die but this⦠this was different, like my body had taken over, like something inside me had snapped and all I could think about was one thing.Relief.I needed release. I needed to get this out of my system. I needed⦠them.A soft, breathless sound slipped from my lips as my arms tightened around Silasā shoulders while he carried me from the water. My face hovered near his ear, my nose brushing his skin as I nuzzled into him, his scent intoxicatingāaddictive in a way that made my head spin. Before
Lilith pov It had been four days since the night Iād spent with both Daelan and Lucien, and even now, I still wasnāt sure how it had happened. Everything had been so intense, so hazy, as if my mind and body had been swept into a storm. One moment, I was beneath Daelan and the next, beneath Lucien.
Lilith povDid I hear him right?That was the question I asked myself the moment those words left his lips, his crazy grin still curling at the edges as he watched me with that glint in his eyes, one dangerously close to that of a predator eyeing its prey before the feast.And maybe that was exactl
Keal povI couldnāt stop thinking about what she was doing back at the packhouse with them.No matter how hard I tried, my thoughts always drifted to Lilith, and I couldnāt help but worry about her safety. Was she okay? Was she even alive? She wouldn't even pick up my calls or respond to my messa
Lilith povA violent shiver shot down my spine as I stared at the man before me.My heart pounded so hard I could feel it slam against my ribcage.I couldnāt move.I couldnāt even breathe.Daelanās eyes were locked on mine, dark, piercing and when his voice echoed through the air, every hair on my
