INICIAR SESIĂNLilith povMy heart dropped.She was a Moonburn?She wasnât from Fangspire. She had just appeared in the packhouse one day. No one ever really knew where she came from. So sheâŠshe was from the Moonburn tribe.The ones who were wiped out years ago at the hands ofâMy stomach tightened.âVerekâŠâ I breathed.Loraâs expression didnât change.âThatâs right,â she said quietly. âVerek.â She stepped back slightly, like the memories themselves were too heavy. âWhen I was eight years old, he came to our village,â she said. âHe came alone at first. He spoke like a man offering salvation. Wealth. Safety. He said he would give us a large pack after his plans succeeded. After he became king of all packsâHer lips curled slightly.âAll he wanted was for the Moonburns to join him. Because we were strong. He wanted us to be rogues â Her voice hardened. âBut the elders refused. They chased him out. They called him evil. They said they would not stain their hands with blood.âLoraâs gaze lowered.âHe l
Lilith povâLilith⊠Lilith, wake up. You have to wake up and fight. Fight to protect the people you love. Wake up, Lilith! Your father, your father isââMy eyes snapped open.I lurched forward with a sharp gasp, air tearing into my lungs like I had been drowning but the moment I moved, the chains snapped tight. Cold metal bit into my skin, yanking me back harshly as a choked breath escaped me. My chest heaved, struggling to draw in air, my body trembling as pain tore through meâhot, relentless, like fire surging through my veins.But I barely felt it. My mind was somewhere else.âMâŠMotherâŠâHer face flashed through my thoughts, she had been dressed in white, eyes filled with something I had never seen before.Fear. Desperation. Tears.âYou father⊠your father isââI squeezed my eyes shut, trying to grasp the words, to hear it again, to finish it but it slipped through me.I had woken up before she could say it.My fingers curled weakly behind me, my breath uneven as a tremor ran throu
Claude povâThere was a story I loved when I was a child.â My voice cut through the chaos, calm, almost thoughtful. âI remember it too well.ââAhhh, my hand! My hand!âThe scream tore through the air. I didnât even blink.âEvery night,â I continued, as though I was having a normal conversation as the rogue dropped to his knees in front of me, clutching what remained of his arm, his severed hand still twitching in my grip, blood smeared across my face as his eyes locked onto mine in pure terror.âWithout fail, I made the old man read it to me. If he didnâtâ I tilted my head slightly, watching him, âI wouldnât sleep.â A low chuckle slipped from my lips. âIâd just lie there. Staring. Waiting.âMy foot came down his head.A sickening crack.Silence.âA stubborn child, donât you think?âA blur passed meâSilas and Lucien. They moved in and out of existence like shadows. One moment beside me, the next already behind another rogue. Bodies dropped before the mind could even register death. It
Lucien povAuthorâs Note: Lucas is the Alpha currently working under Verek. He is the one whose beta disrespected Lucien, and Lucien cut out his tongue. The traitor.***âI miss her! Couldnât we have taken her with us? I canât deal with this anymore. I need my Lilith with me.âThat was Claudeâs irritating voice again, groaning dramatically as he slumped against the car window, eyes closed, blonde hair falling messily over his face. He looked half-dead, as though life itself had lost all meaning.YetâMy eyes remained fixed on the chessboard before me.Cold. Dark. Unmoving.I didnât spare him a single glance.For a moment, the car was filled with nothing but the dull clatter of wheels against stone and Claudeâs endless moaning. The air was thick with tension, suffocating in its silence.Then, without a word, I reached forward and picked up my knight, sliding it across the board and placing it before Silasâs bishop, taking his piece in one smooth move.Across from me, Silas sat with one
Lilith povEverything felt dizzy.I couldnât breathe.It felt like I was drifting in and out of a haze, sinking deeper into a dark place that refused to let go, no matter how hard I fought to stay conscious. My eyelids fluttered closed, then open again, my vision blurry at the edges. I couldn't see anything clearly, but faint words cut through the fog, barely reaching my ears.âAre you saying we shouldnât really kill her?! She killed Ivy and made Isla this way. My mate keeps repeating that her sister's death was her fault, wanting to kill herself because of what this bitch said. Letâs kill her before things get worse, Leo. You didnât fight her... sheâs scary, way scarier than the leader.âMy eyelids fluttered again, struggling to keep them open, my limbs too weak to move. My throat felt dry, like I couldnât summon the strength to speak, and I just sat there, bound, the ropes digging painfully into my skin. The darkness pulled at me again, like gravity itself. But in that haze, I saw t
Drevena pov Isla dropped instantly to the ground, gasping as she hit it. Her hands flew to her throat, rubbing at it desperately while she coughed, eyes already burning with rage. Her fangs bared fully now as a low, shaking growl tore from her chest. And then, they moved again. Both of them. George and Isla charged towards me with no hesitation this time. The air snapped tight as they lunged again from opposite sides, trying to crush me between them in one clean strike. I exhaled softly and chuckled, shifting just slightly to the side just as Georgeâs claws tore through empty space where I had been standing a fraction of a second ago. At the same time, I tilted my head back, letting Islaâs strike pass so close it cut the air above my throat. My feet barely moved, my hands stayed loose. Calm. Almost bored. âMmâŠâ I hummed softly, glancing between them as they immediately adjusted, turning sharply to face me again. âThatâs better.â A small smile curved my lips. âBut still slo
Lilith povâThis wonât be strong enough for the marking, but itâll be enough to show myself⊠for you to shift,âThat was what she had said and that was what I couldn't understand.What did she mean by that word? Marking? And also shifting? Could I really shift like she said? And if I did, would I b
Lilith povI was panting, Lips parted, Eyes hooded, Chest rising and fallingâevery breath a shaky, ruined thing.I was drenched from my hair to my chin, but my face wasnât wet with water, it was slick with cum, hot, heavy, clinging to my skin.âI want her pussy.âThat was what Silas had murmured
Lilith pov âHa! You fucking bitch! Do you think we want to be here too?â She snapped, stepping closer than I liked, the overwhelming scent of her perfume almost choking me. âIf it werenât for you ruining Kaelâs name in front of the Alphas, he wouldnât be here, heâd be off at war with them instead
Lilith povToo slow.That was the first thought that crossed my mind as I stared blankly at Seraphinaâs sharp claws lunging straight for my face.And honestly, it was a little surprising because time had actually slowed around us, like something straight out of a movie.Seraphinaâs claws moved in s
