We're already dealing with Howard threatening Luna Caroline, and now another psycho? I really lost control!" Jace tried to defend
Ava's POV I hadn't been feeling myself lately. Despite the girls' constant calls trying to get me to join their gathering at Alpha Draven's pack house, I just couldn't go. I made up an excuse about having a terrible headache. The last thing I wanted was to bring down everyone's mood, especially Car

Joseph's POV I couldn't believe what Ava had done—she'd actually put an aphrodisiac in my juice. Something felt off immediately; my body was burning up, my heart racing, and I had an inexplicable, painful erection. After she went upstairs, I searched the trash and found the pill package barely hidd
Joseph's head snapped up, his eyes widening. "Eleanor? What's wrong?" "What's wrong? You locked me in that dusty archive room for a week!
