Blaire:I had no idea where I was running to or why I was even running in the first place, but I knew that my instinct wanted me far away from that place as soon as possible, with the image of a little cabin in mind, a quiet environment, and peace in mind.It was becoming increasingly difficult to keep running with a stomach that was protruding, and I found myself waddling as fast as I could, hissing at almost every second at the stinging back ache and swollen feet while letting my instinct lead me, glancing back at intervals to ensure I wasn't getting followed.I gently lowered myself onto the floor, cupping my stomach as I gently slid down a ridge, hissing when the leg got injured by a protruding piece of wood. I banged my fist on the floor, hating that my pregnant belly wasn't letting me do anything right. When I had woken up, I found my stomach protruding, and when I had asked about it, the white-haired man—Jax, was it?—told me that I was pregnant for my husband. My confusion kne
London:Something was wrong; I could feel it. I was exceptionally angsty, anxious, worried, and troubled. It was like every cell in my body could sense something bad happening, but I couldn't quite place my finger on it. Thus, I remained pacing around my room, downing glass after glass of whisky and vodka, occasionally smashing the glass, and growling whenever the feelings peaked.I rubbed my fingers together, taking a deep breath while I ran my fingers through my hair, because why the fuck could I not calm down? Why was a tiny voice in my soul whispering dangerous things to me? I understood that it had gotten pretty late and Blaire was still nowhere to be found, as well as the possible dangers that could be awaiting her, but was that really enough for me to be feeling as troubled as this?Jax had gone home almost immediately, and I knew he was working his ass off trying to find Blaire, but that wasn't my problem. My problem was a report that I got from him. He said he had sensed magi
London My lips were tightly pressed together, and my teeth clenched as I attempted to visualise the scenario from Freya's hurried explanation. I was silently hoping that it wouldn't confirm the fears a small voice in my head was suggesting. With the pack's unstable condition, the near loss of my wolf, Blaire's unexpected disappearance, and Alphas engaging in treacherous politics by playing a dirty game to prove my fall from grace so they could claim my position and sit on my throne, I already had more than enough to contend with.Amidst this turmoil, the last thing I needed was for Freya's news to add to my already heavy burden. The weight of leadership and the constant threat to my authority were wearing me down, making every new challenge feel like an insurmountable mountain. Yet, I couldn't show any weakness. To the outside world, I had to remain the unshakeable Alpha, the leader who could navigate through any storm.A shaky sigh escaped my lips as I ran my good hand through my ha
LONDON:"Indeed, London. I have your sweet little mate Blaire trapped in my net." Hayes' guttural tone projected through Mathias' mouth, his obsidian orbs glinting maliciously at me.He laughed at my stunned expression, and I growled in contempt. He was a coward for not facing me head-on; weak or not, I was ready to put an end to everything.I was tired of this back-and-forth, this cat-and-mouse game with him, and using my mate against me was despicable.“You will never have the book," I seethed, my muscles bunching up as tension filled me.His brows furrowed as though a dark thought had crossed his mind, and then his red eyes glowed with fire that could burn a thousand nations.“I can't sense Fuyu. Now what are you without the White Conqueror?” He taunted, and a sick grin curving his dark lips.“That won't stop me from tearing you to fucking shreds," I growled, my fists shaking with uncontained rage. The thought of losing so many of my people, especially my gamma Caine, because of hi
LONDONI collapsed to my knees, overwhelmed by an unfathomable pain that scrambled my thoughts and words. A roar tore through me as I gripped my head, attempting to ground myself but failing miserably."What have you done, Fuyu?" I gasped, choking on my own blood as it pooled in my mouth. Miller's voice echoed faintly in the background, but I was too far gone to make sense of it.“It was the only way,” Fuyu whispered from a distant corner of my subconscious.Another scream tore from my throat as I felt my bond with Fuyu being ripped away. He was a part of me, the other half of my soul, and Hayes was killing him, which meant he was killing me too. We couldn't survive without each other, not for long."When I die, Hayes dies with me.” Fuyu's voice sounded faint, his presence in my head slowly fading. At that point, I could no longer feel my physical body; I was consumed by the agony of losing my wolf and friend.Fuyu wasn't just my wolf; he was my lifeline, my constant companion since c
Blaire White.Nimble fingers combing through my hair and massaging my scalp roused me from my deep slumber. I moaned in contentment as the feeling gently pulled me into sleep's gentle embrace. The musky scent of sandalwood invaded my senses as I slowly became painfully aware of the delicious soreness between my legs.Fluttering my eyes open, I was met with unfamiliar steel-grey eyes that strangely held warmth as he steadily held my gaze. I memorised the most minute details on his face: the curve of his light pink lips, the way his lashes fanned over his high cheekbones as he blinked slowly, the way his dark, wavy hair fell to his strong shoulders. My fingers itched to run through it, to confirm if they were as soft as they looked.His gaze was almost hypnotic, and I couldn't bring myself to look away. The longer I stared at the stranger I had unwittingly given myself to the previous night, the more I realised why he was gazing at me as though I were the most precious thing he'd ever h
Blaire White After breakfast, London suggested we take a walk in the garden so that we could talk and get some fresh air at the same time. He walked silently beside me, his long legs matching my pace, and his elbow brushed against my shoulder, sending sparks down my spine.I inhaled the fresh air, infused with the scent of earth and the fragrance of blossoming flowers, and smiled when I heard birds chirping in the trees. It was like sweet music to my ears, and I felt at peace.“Blaire,” London called my name softly, and I snapped my attention back to him, tilting my head to meet his eyes briefly.“Why did you want to leave?” he asked, his face almost contorting in a pained expression as he waited for my answer. I was at a loss for words, opening my mouth and then shutting it when no words formed. I was ashamed to tell him the real reason I wanted to leave the minute I woke up in his arms, but I couldn't stand lying to him.“When I recognised you as my mate, I was scared because I tho
LondonI was seethingly mad when Reece's report replayed over and over again in my head. The thought that my pack's covert affairs had been compromised by one of my own left a pungent taste in my mouth.I knew I had to calm down and think rationally before I frightened my mate even more. I could hear her heart racing, and the need to soothe her overwhelmed my senses, helping to quell my anger, if only a little.Although I sensed Fuyu's rage, it was strange that he didn't fight for control to locate and eliminate the traitor. I pushed aside the thought and focused on Blaire, who sat rigidly on my lap, rubbing her arms nervously.Giving Reece an icy look, I spoke through the mind link, "Leave," and he bowed once before exiting, closing the door softly behind him.“My love,” I murmured, lifting Blaire effortlessly and placing her gently on my desk. I positioned myself between her thighs, pushing them apart. Placing my hands on either side of her, I leaned down so that we were at eye leve
