Caius Winter

“There are things about our mate I think you should know.”

I could feel the rain soaking into my coat as I stood under the sculpture of a weeping Angel, watching my friends leave the infirmary.

My hands had grown numb around the thick stem of the roses I held in one hand, ruling the longing that made my chest feel like a gaping black hole.

Dante’s chiseled face was encased in shadow, his thick black hair curling around his angular cheeks before he turned to glance at Ronan.

“You little shit.” I growled, my eyes narrowing on the hand that Ronan had clamped around my best friend’s shoulder.

If I didn't know better, I would have sworn he wasn't just trying to take my place in the pack but in Dante’s bloody heart as well.

Their movements seemed urgent…frenzied almost, and I traced my tongue over one Fang, piercing it and feeling the sweet tingling of pain distract me from the way my hands had tightened around the rose stem.

We were all on edge lately…ever since our shadow ma

    Amara EldwoodHe kissed me.Dante Milburn had kissed me and it was everything I imagined and more. My lips still burned from where his mouth grazed mine and I reeled from the depth of emotion I had seen in his dazzling blue eyes.Curse Leila or whoever it was he had loved in the past that made it so difficult for anyone else to reach the Alpha now.I wanted him. I realized in shock that I needed him, craved his touch just as much as I craved the other three.I didn't care if it made me a freak, hell, a freak was all I’d been called my entire life anyway. Why couldn't I have this one little joy that the moon goddess had blessed me with?“I’m going to win you over, Dante Milburn, you just watch,” I breathed through chattering teeth, my heart squeezing and filling with blood when I caught the silhouette of his straight back through the fog.Even from far away, his aura differed from everyone else’s.He carried himself like the air around him was weighted with power, darkness, and danger

    Dante MilburnRonan’s hazel eyes widened, but he didn’t fight me, his arms vibrating by his sides instead with barely concealed rage.“What the hell are you doing? Goddamn you, let me go!” He growled, and I felt Caius tense up beside me as his low curse reverberated in the silence.“You thought I wouldn’t find out? You fucking pig?” I snarled, flashing my fangs dangerously close to his face and hearing the dismal rap of his heartbeat shooting up.“Did you fucking think I wouldn't smell that wench on you?” I bellowed, roaring in his face and feeling Caius stiffen behind us. “What the hell are you guys talking about? What wench?” Ronan’s breath came faster, and a vein bulged oddly in his temples as his eyes narrowed on my face but he didn’t deny it. His lips stretched to a firm line instead.It was our first argument since the day I met him, and it couldn't have hurt more than it did.“The fucking Confessor, Ronan,” I spat blithely, baring any hesitations i’d had before.“That bitc

    Dante MilburnMy mind reeled with thoughts as the feel of Mara’s soft lips burned a hole through mine.I hadn't been thinking straight after seeing her like that on my bed, all sleep-tossed hair and mostly parted lips.Fuck!I exhaled evenly through my nose, my fingers digging into my palm as I followed behind the guard until I was on the brink of drawing blood. The morning air was light and fresh, with the scent of pine and wet stone filling the space.The Fortress sprawled out before me like a coiled beast carved from shadows. Long draping towers and short stubby buildings between them lined one side of the square.The soft wan sunlight poured over the cobblestone paths, with brown-barked bonsai trees lined on the other side, their pink and red leaves falling lazily to the dark soil. Darkened hallways yawned open like the mouths of forgotten catacombs, spilling out the square where the soldiers had started to get her for their morning training sessions. I hadn't wanted to leave.

    Amara EldwoodMy heart felt like it had been snatched tight out of my chest as the weight of his words burned into my body and I realized I was shaking my head no. I wanted Dante Milburn. That was the honest-to-the-goddess truth. I wanted him so badly that it wounded me deeply when he treated me like shit.I wanted all of them. Why should I have to choose who to love when I’ve had nothing my entire life?“No… Please, I-I’ll be good, alright? I can't handle another rejection—” I stuttered, embarrassed by the tears that just wouldn't stop rolling down my cheeks as spasm after spasm rocked my body.The Alpha’s nostrils flared before he reached out, his thick, gold-ringed fingers brushing my cheek, so lightly it was almost unbearable. "Mara." The way he said my name was so profoundly sad that a sob caught in my throat. "I-I’m sorry. For everything, Your Highness, please! I'm not like Leila. I don't care what she did to you but I'm not like that,” I confessed, wondering how I had gone

    Amara EldwoodMy body felt like it was falling from a great height, trapped between a jagged cliff and the raging ravine swarming with creatures from the darkness beneath it. Adrian’s handsome face had paled until he looked like one of the undead creatures the rumors of Hades carried back in our old pack.The forest was dark this time, surrounded by mist and yellow-eyed creatures that sat hunched in the trees, their eyes burning holes in my body like laser beams.My brother’s hollow hazel eyes looked dead from where he had flattened me on the loamy forest floor, rolling back into his head until only the whites of it showed.“No…please no, I raised a hand to brace myself when the glint of metal bounced off his clasped hands as he held them high above his head."You don’t belong here, leave…run far away and never come back. Dead to me, Mara. You are dead to me," he whispered and my jaw trembled with a piercing scream just before the blade swooshed down.I awoke with a gasp, my body dr

    Selene WillowsI was Confessor of Shadowville and the dark woods damn it! I didn't bend my knee to anyone if it wasn't a damned good fucking.“Go ahead, hit me…I know you want to,” I panted, my eyes feeling with tears at the Beta’s painful grip where it dug through my hair and yanked hard.His face was so close to mine that I was tempted to bite his lips, but he shoved me back, sending my body flying back into the bed frame where my back crumpled painfully.A white hot zinging raced up my spine and spread in my temples as I struggled to blink stars away from my vision.“Heaven forbid that I ever lay a hand on a woman who isn't attacking me. Pack your shit and leave,” He said quietly, deflating the tension in my chest the way a bobby pin sticks through a balloon.I shook my head, chuckling as I watched him stalk away with my lungs constricting painfully.I had hoped to avoid a confrontation like this with my hypnosis, but the Beta, even without a protective amulet, was just too strong
