LOGINThe 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
Leo pov Author’s note: In case it isn’t clear, this is the POV of Verek’s 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 Leo—one of Verek’s 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.“Did you hear that the mother of that blonde Beta died?”George 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.“Haha, I heard. And do you know what makes it even funnier?” she adde
Lilith povI was trembling.Not from the cold. Not from nerves. Not from fear.No—I 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.“Fuck—”He 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 me…Silas.His hands were firm on my inner thighs, holding me open, keeping me exactly where he wanted me.And goddess, his mouth…That heat.That slow, relentless pressure against my dripping clit…A sharp gasp tore through me, muffled, my body jolting as pleasure surged all at once. My finge
Lilith povShe was furious.Really, truly furious.Theila, standing in front of me, her eyes brimming with tears, her voice trembling with each shaky breath, stared at me as I sat frozen, wide-eyed and trembling, my cheek still stinging from her slap. My breaths came slow, uneven, and I could barel
Lilith povKael might be fired and executed.That was what Lora had said when she burst into the room with frantic steps, her eyes wide with shock as she delivered the news—news that left both Theila and me stunned.Were the Alphas really going to kill their beta?But why?The reason was obvious.
Happy new year, everyone! Lilith pov If someone had told me that just when I thought I was about to meet my end, it wouldn’t happen but instead, a big dog—no, a wolf, who just so happened to be the terrifying Dervic, the same one who had been intent on killing me last night, would now be on top of
Lucien pov Lucas was a spy. That was what Silas had uttered the moment both Lucas and Verya stepped out of the study. His voice was cool, steady, calm as ever as he took the seat beside me, unbothered on the surface, his expression unreadable, stoic, as though the events of today hadn’t affected
