Alpha Enzo 022 | I FEEL YOUR PAIN
Enzo’s POVScarlett was in danger. I don’t know how I knew; I just did. It was her agony searing my skin; her agony pooling in my chest; her agony setting my shoulder alight. Her agony, not mine.And it didn’t fade. In fact, it only grew worse – my throat tightened as if squeezed, and my lungs burned desperately for air they already held. Whoever had kidnapped her was hurting her. Not just hurting her. It felt like they were trying to kill her.Something snapped in me at that realisation. I grunted, doubling over, bracing my hands on my knees as the back of my head hit a wall that was not there. “I won’t let you die,” I ground out, my vision blurring. “I swear it, Scar. I’ll find you, whatever it takes, and I’ll bring you home.”Home. Chest heaving, I pulled myself upright. The pain dissipated slowly, like waves being pulled back from the shore. As the tide went out, I thought through every meeting I’d been in, every pack member I’d spoken to. I had nothing definitive to go on. But I
Alpha Enzo 023 | WEREWOLF AT WORK
Scarlett’s POV For two days, I didn’t see Ryker. It was a blessing – and a curse, because it stalled my plan. Granted, my body needed time to heal between each provocation, but I ached to find out what he wanted me here for. I had to find out, because I had to get home. Imagining that was all that kept me going. On the third day, I managed to pick the lock on his bedroom door. I bit my lip to hold back an excited gasp, wary of anyone lurking in the hallway outside. The central bed, walk-in wardrobe, and view of the outback had been my only company, save for the Omegas charged with keeping me locked up and the Warrior Wolves charged with serving my punishment. I preferred the inanimate objects. Fingers trembling on the two bent bobby pins, I sat back on my heels and held my breath. Shifting slowly, so as not to make any noise, I crouched and slid my cheek to the door, pressing my ear to it. I was on Ryker’s floor, within which only he and his most faithful Omega servant resided. The
Alpha Enzo 024 | THE TEMPEST
Enzo’s POVI scoffed at Davin. “A prophecy? Yeah, all right.”He had the audacity to look hurt. “Hear me out. You just said it yourself – Scarlett can’t shift, even though she was definitely born with the right genetics. She heals fast. Too fast to be human.” He shook his head, green eyes wide and downturned with sadness. “There have been mentions of such a conundrum in the ancient texts, from the time of the last Lycan Kings.”Marla rolled her eyes. “Really, Dav? There hasn’t been a Lycan King in centuries. The four monarchies were abolished way too long ago for anything of that time to talk about our Scarlett.”My heart clenched at that. Our Scarlett. To know that my Beta and Gamma had accepted her, no matter what, made my insides tighten, half with grief and half with love. It was an acute sort of pain, the kind that was hard to ignore. Squirming, I shared a look with Marla, raising one eyebrow.Davin sighed and crossed his arms over his chest. “That’s why it’s called a prophecy. Y
Alpha Enzo 025 | DANCING WITH THE DEVIL
Scarlett’s POV“I know where he’s gone,” she said again, quieter, gentler. It only raised my proverbial hackles all the more.“I don’t care,” I lied. Of course I cared – but I couldn’t let her know that. I couldn’t let her even have that most basic of things to hold over my head. She’d not spoken to me in years, not like this, anyway, and I wasn’t about to let her change that. “Yes, you do,” she sighed. “Look at me, Scar.”I bit out a single syllable: “No.” Then, fuming both internally and externally, I stomped off further into the grove. I wouldn’t let her ruin this for me, too.“I made a mistake!” she called after me. I bit my lip and vowed to ignore her. I was in Shady Grove to feel closer to my parents, not to engage in some stupid bitch-war over every nasty thing my supposed best friend had done to me. “Scarlett, please.”I hung my head, torn between slamming around and shouting at her and the crippling, ever-present fear that kept me submissive. There was not one person in th
Alpha Enzo 026 | WITCHY GOBBLEDYGOOK
Enzo’s POVRain fogged the windows, beating down relentlessly on the grey expanse of mountains and the craggy shadows of the pines. The library was a warm pool of lamplight, gold against the grey, but even the heat of the blanket Marla had tucked around my shoulders struggled to reach my frozen bones.She stared at me unabashedly from across the table. Davin had seated us away from the alcove he and Scarlett had taken to sitting in, a strange look crossing his face as we’d passed it. This nook was just as cosy, but I missed the memory of Scar’s presence that filled the alcove. It was as close I’d come to touching her in days. I scratched the stubble growing along my jaw, long enough now that it was bordering on becoming a beard. “You need to shave,” said Marla.“Yes.” I turned to look out of the window, cursing the storm that was holding me hostage here. “I do.”She said nothing more, and I made no effort to break the silence either. My thoughts dragged me into misery, and it was som
Alpha Enzo 027 | G + K FOREVER
Scarlett’s POVI burst out laughing. I couldn’t help it; with the flood of fear that was crashing through my veins swelling to a crescendo, I came alight at the ridiculousness of such a statement. “Magic powers?” I bent double, hacking up a cough and a laugh in one. “Amber, don’t be so fucking stupid.”She flushed bright red – well, from what I could tell through my squinted, water-logged eyes, anyway. “I’m not being stupid!” she snapped, swiping at me. The laughter stopped. I gulped in a shaky breath, my chest constricting, my lungs too tight to let the air in. Stumbling back, I stared across at her with wide eyes. The dappled sunlight played across her taut face, shadowing her brow and making her appear all the more sinister. I shook my head, taking another, more measured, step backwards. “It’s second nature to you now, isn’t it?” I asked quietly.“What is?”“Hurting me. You don’t get your way, so you lash out.” I laughed again, humourlessly this time. Curling my fingers up again
Alpha Enzo 028 | MESSAGE RECEIVED
Enzo’s POVI flung a random assortment of shirts, sweaters, and jeans into my suitcase with one hand and swiped desperately through my phone's weather app with the other. Rain slammed against the window; lightning fractured the sky.I didn’t care. I’d find a way to reach Scar, even if I had to swim across an ocean to get to her. The words I’d read pounded against my skull, driving me to move faster, faster, to think not of the how but of the why.The Alpha will be her demise. The Alpha will end the world. With the Wolfless at his side, he will bring about the end of everything.That was all the proof I needed. There was only one Alpha with ties to my Scarlett, the Wolfless, and it was pretty black and white what it meant. Alpha Ryker was going to kill her, and in doing so he’d end the world. Yeah – I wasn’t about to sit back and let that happen.But then something worse had happened. Something that had thrown me from the cusp of hysteria straight into a fit of full-blown terror. More
Alpha Enzo 029 | RUDE AWAKENING
Scarlett’s POVShady Grove was cast into darkness. In that moment, it felt to me as though it were Ryker himself creating that pocket of shadow; all the light in the world was sucked into him, drawn by like calling to like. I shuddered, writhing in his grip. It was tight enough to make me wheeze, but not tight enough to kill. Yet.“Nothing smart to say this time, hmm?” he purred, loosening his fingers one by one. It was a show of power, a reminder that I could do nothing to stop him. I knew that somewhere deep, somewhere intrinsic; my mind and body were a hacking, red-faced mess, my only conscious thought of getting oxygen into my straining lungs.“Do you understand your place yet, Omega?”I couldn’t even nod. I stared at him, bug-eyed, and waited for him to decide what to do with me next.“I’ve been away, you see. There have been… whispers, shall we say, for many years, about a beautiful and dangerous power lying in wait. Some of those whispers suggested that such a power had been ri
