Chapter 70
In the blackness, I clung to King, wrapping my legs around his waist like we were in a seriously adventurous sex position. Instead, we were shivering at the bottom of the narrow stone Sorcereses Well (which I refused to even think
was for the Unworthy), which crushed us together in a cruel parody of a lovers’ embrace. Although, if I had to be trapped down a well with someone, King was now top of my list because of his strong arms and the way that he licked and nuzzled at my throat to distract me from the gnawing hunger and thirst.
The only guy that could’ve knocked King off the top spot was Moon because his cuddles were kind of addictive…like toasted marshmallow lattes.
Trust me, addictive.
Except, it hurt to think of Moon, when I rested my arms around King’s throat in the dark, when I didn’t know whether Lyall was hurting him. It was equally painful to think of wha

I hunkered at the edge of the wall, when my thighs burned from the trek through the wood and my temples thudded. Dawn washed the sky clean ofthe night.I hadn’t imagined that a Re-education Center for Alphas would look like a prison, but then, I’d never dreamed that the wolves would’ve buried their own Alphas in a Borstal for Bad Wolves, which was isolated in a glade that could only be reached on foot…or paw.It was kind of like the penis Alphas didn’t want their brainwashed victims to escape.I shuddered at the thought of Moon being dragged here and left somewhere behind the wall in the white arched building. Worse, that an Alpha could be planning to Wolve Bite him.Tonight, the full moon would rise. If I didn’t work out a way to bond magically with him as a Moon Child before then, he’d die.Yep, this would be a son of sorceres l

I didn’t know that I’d be able to experience my Charms’ pain like it was my own, but when Lyall savaged Moon’s throat right over my own Wolve Bite,severing my Claim, I howled.Agony swept through me — Moon’s own, entwining around mine — when my shadows trembled with it. I dropped to my knees on the marble bathroom floor, cradling my arms around my head.Then suddenly, Moon’s heights tugged at my red. I lowered my arms, until my look met Moon’s, even though Lyall was still licking over her bite, savoring his blood with a smug satisfaction that filled me with a shuddering urge to kick her butt.King and Jeremy prowled closer, growling.Then, despite the fact that Moon was naked apart from his collar, bitten, and shaking, he lifted his chin, which in any other Alpha would’ve looked like he was offering his throat submissively.Yet in Moon…?

This wasn’t a cloud but the floor of the Clocktower in the House of Seasons, when I was looking out through the glbutt clockface onto the city below. I must have a bitch of a concussion, although I also had a feeling that maybe angel duty would’ve been easier than whatever Isabella had planned.Still: yey life…I groaned, rubbing my sore temples, as I shoved myself onto my knees. The room swam, and I swayed with dizziness.I was going to hurl.“Ah, you’re awake, sleepyhead. Did you have sweet dreams of sinful shifters?” My head shot up at Isabella’s voice from across the room, then I bent over again, as lights flashed in front of my eyes. Isabella tutted. “No puking in my fabulous house. My Alpha has been working hard today, and with your constant screaming about wolve rights, it’d be mean of you to give him another chore. Unless you get off on the ide

In a sorcereses’ house that moved like it was made of no more than cards and any motherent could fall, I was held firm in the cool arms of a mage, when a wolve nuzzled at my shoulder. The Ambbuttador and Alex might not be mine in the way that my Charms were, but I could feel my connection to them through myshadows.How could I keep either safe from my aunt whose rage was tearing apart the House of Seasons? The ceiling warped, caving in, and I shrieked.“When you were born, I made a promise to your mum because she’d already lost a child.” Isabella levitated go to me.My mother had lost a child?I’d never known that but then, I guessed that I’d been too young to tell, before my parents had been killed.Yet why had my uncle never told me?My chest ached at the thought. Had it been a brother or a sister? Did they die in the womb, at birth, or after? Would t

I was a Wolve Winner, sprawled in bed with three Claimed werewolves, an angel, and a god. But honestly, all I cared about was the guy I loved who laynext to me like he’d been cursed under a wicked sorceres’s spell.And I was the sorceres who’d poisoned him.Except, this wasn’t a fairy tale because in a fairy tale, Moon would awake on a kiss.I pressed my mouth more firmly to Moon’s mouth like this kiss would count as our first one, and it’d stir him back to life. Although, I knew that it wouldn’t count as our first kiss because Moon couldn’t feel it, and it had no magical powers to awaken him.I still imagined Moon’s arms raising to clasp around my throat, as his amber eyes fluttered open to stare into mine with love, loyalty, and wonder at our kiss, when his tongue pushed up to press between my parted mouth with equal de

Dazed, I stared at the smoldering bed and scorched walls of my bedroom, which had now been transformed into a battleground.I clutched Zhen, as he hugged my throat. He growled at Siobhanny, even though she was still hiding from sight.Siobhanny was the essence of the House of Heights and every Wolve Winner who’d come before me. She wouldn’t kill one of the Wolve Winner line, right? Unless, I’d pissed off my ancestors enough with my modernization of their customs because let’s face it: their traditions sucked.My uncle had often faced opposition when he’d modernized his company.But then, he’d never risked burning.I watched as my Charms warily prowled to their feet. Anthony draggedMischief to the corner of the room, since his burst of flight had exhausted him.Moon held out his hand to me, helping me to my

I stepped alone into the middle of a war. Only, there was no rattle of gunfire, boom of explosions, or thunder of tanks. Instead, there was an eerie red that swallowed the world like it’d been transformed to Mars, which consumed even the sky. My own red cocooned itself around me, as if it could protect me from the jerremy shadows in this past memory that washed over the ancient woodsand the banks of the Thames.Huh, that was what it was like to know that you’d only been a kid playing with your powers because these shadows that stormed with fury were my jerremy shadows at their most terrifying.They were the jerremy tide and boy, were they not being controlled.I paled, pressing the heels of my hands against my eyes like that would end the horror of the scene, but when I pulled my hands away again, nothing had changed: my great-grandmother was still alone on the hill beside the Thames, decimating the werewolves.S

Trapped beneath the heights sea of the ceiling in the Discipline Cellar, I stared wildly, as it bulged above Siobhanny’s head, then birthed a gilded angel whosewings beat with furious magic.Holy hell, it was Mischief in truly godly form who hovered above Siobhanny. I realized that I’d never seen him acting the archduke before and sparking with righteous rage.It was scorching-hot.Yet why had he held back when we’d been fighting? And how much was it costing him to rescue us now? Unless, you know, he had more of a plan than to fright Siobhanny into letting us go?My jerremy wrenched at the shackles around King, battling against the dark magic that bound him and hissing at its sting. King twisted in his chains to dodge the dripping heights, when Jeremy and Moon snatched up paddles to hold over his shoulders and protect him.Yep, I didn’t miss the irony of the
