KARA
The night was young, but I had work to do. I arrived home earlier than usual, knowing I needed time to prepare for my mission. Every part of this job thrilled me—the chase, the puzzle, the satisfaction of solving a case no one else could crack. Being an agent for a secret agency wasn’t just a job; it was a dream I had chased since childhood. Thanks to my hardwork, I had climbed the ranks, earning a place in one of the highest-level agencies—uncovering bitter truths, bringing justice, and making sure the guilty paid. I slipped into my usual gear—black leather pants, a tank top, my signature black jacket, and my boots. This mission was a solo one. No backup. No team. Just me. Not that I needed anyone. I was one of the best in the business. If there was a case too complicated to solve, it was handed to me. Sliding into my car, I checked my phone. Zach had already sent me the location, making things easier. **"Sir, I just arrived at the location you sent,"** I texted him quickly. **"Do not move from your position until you receive a message,"** he responded. I waited in silence. The air was thick with tension, but I was used to it. A few minutes later, my phone lit up with a message from an unknown number. **"Get down slowly and walk to the building on your right. A black car will be waiting."** Without hesitation, I stepped out of my car, my senses on high alert. Just as the message said, a black car was waiting for me near the building. Without a second thought, I climbed inside. The moment I shut the door, a deep voice spoke. "So you are *the* Kara Nox?” Fear was a foreign concept to me. I leaned back, keeping my tone level. "You must have heard about me," I said. The man sat at the far end of the seat, a hat covering most of his face, but a tattoo on his neck caught my attention—a bird inked into his skin. "Then the gossip about you is true." I scoffed inwardly. "You don’t have time to waste," he continued. "Once we drop you at the location, you move in as quickly as possible. Hack the system, collect as many files as you can, and destroy everything. Behind the woods, ten minutes from the warehouse, a car will be waiting for you. You have only twenty minutes to get in and out. And remember—don’t die." I absorbed every detail. Just another mission. Another success waiting to happen. "I hear you, sir." The car slowed to a stop. We had arrived. The warehouse stood in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by thick forestry on the city’s outskirts. I stepped out without hesitation, taking in my surroundings. Silence. Not a single guard outside. No movement. Too easy. I moved swiftly toward the back entrance, slipping inside undetected. The place was a maze of empty rooms and long corridors, but I knew exactly where to go. After a few turns, I found it—the office space where the files were kept. Wasting no time, I set my backpack down and got to work. --- I was only a few minutes in when I heard it. A noise. I thought I was alone. I paused, listening. But the sound was gone just as quickly as it had come. Shaking it off, I turned back to the system in front of me. The encryption was tough, but nothing I couldn’t crack. Fourteen minutes left. **Boom!** A loud blast echoed through the warehouse. I wasn’t alone anymore. I reached for my gun—but not fast enough. Five men burst in out of nowhere, attacking all at once. There was a reason I had been assigned this mission—I was one of the best in combat. I fought hard, using every technique I knew, but something was off. They were stronger. Faster. Too fast. I hit the ground, hard. One of them grabbed me like I weighed nothing. Then it clicked. If I couldn’t take them down with hand-to-hand combat, there was only one explanation. They weren’t human. They were werewolves. I reached for my gun, knowing silver bullets were my only chance, but I wasn’t quick enough. Pain exploded through me as my body slammed onto the cold floor again. **"How dare you treat a lady like this!"** I spat, struggling against them. One of them sneered. **"Shut up, you human intruder!"** Then I felt it. A needle piercing my skin. A burning sensation spread through my veins. Drowsiness. Whatever they injected me with was strong. I fought to stay awake, but the darkness swallowed me whole. --- I didn’t know how long I had been out. Minutes? Hours? Days? I tried to open my eyes. Failed. Something was wrong. I felt… different. My arms and legs were too heavy to lift, my body stiff as stone. My instincts screamed that I had been drugged, and the realization made my stomach twist. Forcing myself to focus, I tried again. This time, I managed to crack my eyes open just a little. Blurry. I couldn’t see anything clearly, but I knew I was in a room. A bed beneath me. I tried to move. Failed. Then I heard noises. Someone had stepped inside. A loud crash. The sound of objects being thrown to the ground. A grunt. A man’s voice. Panic crawled up my spine, but I forced myself to stay calm. My mind was working fine, but my body—my strength—was gone. The realization sank in as rough hands roamed over me, moving freely. My breath hitched. I couldn’t see. I couldn’t fight. But I knew one thing for certain. I was in serious trouble. The grunts of a man echoed through the room, In that second his large body covered mine on the bed, and I cried out trying to push him away, yet my strength was unmatched by his own, instantly he ripped my leg open for him. Anxiety filled my body with how this fellow rough-handled me, I felt hands tear my clothes off my body revealing my naked body. “No, stop it, get away from me, please I'm begging you to stop!” I wailed, as I trembled underneath a stranger, whom I could not catch a glimpse of due to my blurred vision and how dark the room was. However, deep growls were all I could hear from him, my body too weak to resist. He roughly palmed my breast, pinching and twisting my peck nipple, making me cry out at the strange and painful feeling. My heart raced in my chest so hard it might break my rib cage, I closed my eyes at the thought of being defiled this way. I was a virgin at my age since I never had a boyfriend before. This man was fierce as he aggressively sucked on my neck down to my breast, making me hiss occasionally. I shivered when he pushed his already-hardened dick onto my body, he held my legs open in place and unexpectedly thrust hard into my womanhood breaking my hymen in one go. “Ahhhh, no, please stop, it hurts!” I cried out as pain consumed my body; however, he moaned loudly in my ears and immediately began thrusting fast in and out. The misery was too much to endure, as this man raped me continuously, giving a deaf ear to my pleas and cries for him to stop. My body could not take it anymore. I blacked out in the act. If this was how I was to die, then so be it.Kara’s POV“Kara, are you sure about this?”“Yes, I am. Follow him.”We were back in the car, the tension thick in the air as we trailed the red sports car that zoomed ahead on the highway. My gaze never left it for a second, eyes narrowed, jaw tight. Rodrigo drove a few safe miles behind, his fingers tapping the steering wheel in restrained anticipation.My gut never really failed me. Every time it clenched like this, every time that feeling crawled under my skin, I was right. And I felt it now, loud and urgent.We drove for nearly two long hours. The city lights faded behind us, swallowed by an eerie stillness as we entered the outskirts. He was leading us somewhere quiet… somewhere hidden.We arrived at a hospital. Old, forgotten. Standing in the shadow of trees, its exterior worn and crumbling like a relic of another time.“What could he be hiding in a hospital? And one like this?” Bryson asked, frowning.The place looked abandoned, overgrown vines clutching at broken walls, shatt
KARA POVThe room smelled of musk and tobacco. A dim amber light flickered from an antique lamp in the corner, casting long shadows across the wood-paneled walls. A fireplace, unused but grand sat behind the tall man standing before us.He looked like he’d stepped out of a mobster movie. Black hair slicked back, a perfectly trimmed mustache perched above his lips. The lines on his face spoke of years, but age hadn’t taken his charm. If anything, it sharpened him. He looked to be in his fifties, but he wore that age like armor proud, and untouchable.The smirk stretched across his lips like it had been carved there. Arrogant. Unbothered. Like nothing in this world could touch him.“You’re too late,” he said, voice smooth, careless.Bryson stepped forward, arms crossed tight. “What do you mean? Selene sent us to you.”The man’s eyes, dark and sharp like storm clouds before lightning, flicked to Bryson. “Then she sent you to the wrong person.”That glare, cold and calculated slid over
KARA’S POVThe soft clang of metal echoed outside the window. I stood still, one hand resting against the cool glass, watching the guards train below. They moved with sharp focus, muscles taut with discipline. It was a simple scene routine, almost, but it grounded me for a moment. Gave me something to look at that wasn’t tied to the chaos in my heart.But my thoughts didn’t stay there.They pulled me back—back to earlier, back to the look on Dylan’s face when I gave the order to release Nia.His silence had said everything. The tight line of his jaw, the flash of betrayal in his eyes, the way his whole body went still. He hadn’t argued. He didn’t need to. I’d felt the weight of his disappointment press into my chest, even as I stood firm.I had to do it. There was no other way.Nia was still family, whether Dylan wanted to accept that or not. She was Theon’s mate. Killing her, keeping her locked away... it wouldn’t fix anything. It wouldn’t make me safer, wouldn’t make the bond strong
KARA’s povThe past five days had been nothing short of a fever dream.We did nothing but fuck, eat, and sleep in endless loops of need—our bodies tangled in sweaty sheets, our mouths never far from a gasp or a moan. That heat… it wasn’t something either of us had prepared for. We never even talked about it, And now I understood why.No one could explain what that kind of hunger felt like.The ache. The burn. The way my body betrayed every rational thought, every fear. I needed him like I needed oxygen, and Dylan—he gave himself to me without restraint. My Alpha took care of me, owned me, fucked me like I was the only woman left in this world. And he was the only man who could ease that hellish fire that spread through every nerve in my body.It was magic, and it was madness.Pain laced with euphoria. My body opened to him in ways I never knew it could. He explored every inch of me like I was sacred ground and he was starving. And I—God, I loved it.But even now, as the scent of him
Dylan’s POVShe was limp in my arms, body glistening with sweat, face buried in my neck, breath warm against my collarbone.We were both still naked—our bodies tangled on the couch like animals in the aftermath of war. Her thighs were streaked with the evidence of what we’d done, her skin still flushed, her heart still racing beneath the curve of her ribs. But she didn’t speak.Not a word.The fire crackled low, shadows dancing across the wooden beams overhead. Her body rested on mine, but her mind… her mind was somewhere else.And I felt it. Every mile she drifted.I didn’t move. I just held her tighter. Listened to her breathing, counted the pauses between each inhale. Silence had never felt this loud.Her fingers were still curled slightly at my chest, but there was no pressure behind them now. Just her hand resting there like a forgotten memory.I exhaled, dragged my palm up her spine, and whispered, “You’re quiet.”She didn’t answer.“Tell me what’s in your head, Kara.”Still not
Dylan’s POVThe water steamed around us, Kara’s heat flaring with every shallow breath she took. We'd been in the tub nearly an hour now, her body a constant furnace, overheating the water each time it began to cool. I had to keep draining and refilling it, over and over again, but it didn’t matter. I would’ve done it all night if I had to.She lay between my legs, back resting against my chest, her head lolled to the side. Her skin was damp and flushed, and I could feel her heartbeat thrumming like a war drum against my chest. I held her tighter, my arms banded around her like steel.“Breathe, baby…” I whispered, lips brushing the shell of her ear. “I’ve got you. Just breathe through it. You’re safe here. With me.”Her fingers clutched my forearm, nails digging in when another wave of heat struck. I kissed the side of her neck, trying to distract her from the pain. The fire inside her was cruel—searing, merciless. My mate. My fucking mate, and I couldn’t even absorb the pain for her.
