I could see the despair on every single face around me, and for a moment it made my stomach twist in a strange way. I knew I should not be feeling sorry for them, not after everything their alpha had done to me, and not after the terrible things he did to Pa Orloff.

Their dying alpha was the same man who had locked me up and threatened me more than once. He was the same man who tortured Pa Orloff until he barely had strength to breathe. So I knew I should not care at all. I should have felt nothing but cold inside me.

But I cared. My heart cared so much it hurt. And my wolf, the annoying creature inside me, kept cooing softly like she wanted to comfort someone.

Maybe she wanted to comfort me, maybe she wanted to comfort Aiden, or maybe she wanted to comfort the whole messed up room, I had no idea. All I knew was that the feeling grew stronger and stronger and refused to go away.

    ElainaAiden didn't fall.For a moment, that feels stretched across the entire length of my fear, he is hunched over the blade piercing through him, blood spilling down his torso, hot and thick. I expect him to collapse. I expect him to crumple to the ground like any normal man would.But he rose.Slowly, painfully, and like a storm forcing itself to dominate the weather. His jaw clenches tight. His eyes burn with something animalistic and furious. The assailant tries to wrench the blade free, but Aiden grabs the attacker’s wrist with surprising strength. One that should not be possible for someone with a wound so deep.The hallway shakes with the impact of bodies slamming together. The warrior’s punches landed on Aiden’s ribs and twisted the sword inside him. Aiden grunts, but never gives up. When an opening is presented, he headbutts the assailant, grabs him by the throat, and slams him into the stone wall. The warrior fights back, managing to kick Aiden in the abdomen, tearing

    ElainaI didn’t need to turn around. The beautiful and suffocating scent of sandalwood clogged my nostrils. I should be holding my breath, but for some known reasons, I steal pints of his scents into my lungs.Damn me. I nearly moaned. What the hell is happening to me?Why is my body attracted to a monster? Why does my stupid wolf still crave his touch?A few days ago, he was choking me against the wall, threatening to kill the one person that truly understands me. The one person that took me in after all the hell I’ve been through. Damn Aiden. Damn him to the darkest pit of hell. He is a monster, but maybe he doesn’t know that. Or maybe he knows but just doesn’t care. Everyone surrounds him like a god. Hell, from the little I’ve seen, they even treat him like one. I won’t show that same reaction. I’m not one of his minions who will cower at his every presence. He’s nothing but a black-hearted monster, and I’m going to tell him what he is. Maybe. Just maybe he’ll leave me alone

    ElainaMy heart hammers faster in my chest. I clutched my kids closer to myself as if scared the night would swallow them. “Who?” My voice trembled. “What is happening?”Before she could answer me, a wave of battle cries broke out from a near distance. It came from the other side of the border walls. Angry. Maddening. The sound of men shrieking agressively broke through the night with ear piercing volume. My pups wince as they cover their ears. “Mama, I’m scared.” Raven looked up at me with teary eyes. I didn’t even get the chance to comfort her. In the next second, more spears came hurling into the pack grounds, narrowly missing us.My instinct should have been to grab my kids and run, but instead, I shielded them on the spot, covering their tiny bodies with mine. Alarm blared through the night from this side of the wall. The warriors of the pack had sprung into action. Commands were barked, the sound of clanging metals and hurried footsteps became audible. “No single soul of

    ElainaTwo days pass. No sign of Orloff, and no sign of my tormentor either. I was forced to spend my days and nights in this haunted room. His mute or ‘warned not to speak’ maids come in every morning and night to wash and clean me up as if I’m some kind of doll. I had refused their super suspicious hospitality the first day, but then their eccentric king sent word that if I didn’t behave, he would start dissecting my supposed lover, Orloff, one after the other. Those were exactly his words. ‘He’ll regret breathing the same air as you.’A chill settled at the bottom of my spine. Horrific images of what he might be doing to Orloff slammed into my vision without warning. Even worse. The imagination of Orloff exposing the identity of my pups haunted more than anything. It’s as if a lethal poison is being released into my bloodstream. I suck in a sharp breath. My eyes shift to the door, my insides rising with the hope of someone walking in to save me. But the harsh truth remains, w

    ElainaMy breath hitched. Cold shivers cascaded over me, leaving goosebumps of terror in its wake. My eyes doubled in size, blurring with panic. How did he get inside my head?Throughout my entire life, I’ve heard rumors that extremely powerful mate bonds could alter telepathic abilities, or that the two lovers could seek an audience with the goddess. Those were just rumors, myths that spread faster than flame on dry leaves. But this felt different. It was real. No, it was surreal. Almost as if I’m in a dream or still hallucinating from the sedative I was shot with. I pinched my thigh to see if I was indeed dreaming, but the pain that exploded through my skin made me wince, and thus I realized this was indeed real. The hybrid-king can read my mind. “Answer me!” His hand found my throat again, slamming me hard against the wall. “Let me….go.” I choked, wriggling desperately as I tried hard to pull his hand off. “Who is here to take you from me?” He snarled, leaning close to me till
