LOGINPetra doesn’t flinch, she simply blinks and smiles again. “Sure you are, there’s a baby right….” She points at my stomach over the table. “There.” “No, I shake my head, pulling my tank top down some more. My idiot of a mate packed one of my old ones, it's a super-tight fit. “Is it a secret?” She f
“Is that why you came back?” The girl asks. “Because you and your mate are not on good terms?” I simply stare at her. She seems pretty invested in my life, and for a moment, I start to think she might have been planted by someone out or in here to find out about my plans of potential escape. It’s
AELIANA Day three, round two. I hate this place. Every single day, my hatred for this place grows, and these last three days since I came back have really gotten to me. I have more eyes on me than I did before, which has made it very hard for me to speak to someone. Someone whom Mama Bird instruc
Me? He had me, and he drove me straight to the lion's den. He can’t be serious right now. My eyes quickly shift back to Evelyn. “Do I go to confinement if I punch him?” “Yes.” She almost whispers. “What are you doing here?” I ask, watching him to ensure he keeps his distance. “I came to see ho
AELIANA “Luna Aeliana,” Evelyn gasps, locking the door when she enters my cell. “Oh, my God. Why did you run away?” I pause. Sometimes I wonder how she got this job, she seems to lack common sense. She has seen this place, and she might be used to it, but I am not. She keeps staring at me from th
“We will never get to be in-laws, and if we do, your sick brother will fucking kill me.” She whisper-yells. “I can take just about anything, but I will not take him hitting me.” “He did what?” “He’s too rough,” she winces. “And it’s not even a kink, babe, it’s straight abuse. He is fucking sick, y
KINGSTON I haven't seen my Luna in hours, not since we parted ways after a quick lunch. She went home to change because she hadn't brought a change of clothes, and I, on the other hand, remained making nice with the alphas who attended my inauguration. I know Aeliana is here, but I can't spot he
Everyone drops to their knees, Kingston’s council on one knee, and the rest of the pack on both knees. Every man, woman, child—hundreds of them, they all bow. My eyes land on Audrey, she’s on her knees too, right next to her daddy. “We bow to Alpha Kingston and Luna Aeliana, we submit to your leade
“Trust me, Siren.” He lets go of my hand and I step forward, my hands trembling. This feels like a humiliation ritual, no one told me about this. What’s the point of seeing if I’m a true Luna or not? I’m Kingston’s mate, we’re fated, not chosen, so that should be enough not so? The silver casing i
“I shall,” Kingston says, stripping his shirt and handing it to Rowan, along with his shoes. His eyes meet mine as he steps forward, hardly wincing when his feet touch the coal. He remains poised, but the way his shoulders tense tells me it hurts. I don’t know how I’m supposed to look at him when l
