I knocked on the door. I suppose this was Lara’s apartment.

Of course, I still didn’t fully trust the woman; she could swear on all her gods as much as she wanted; that didn’t mean I’ll let my guard down.

The door was pulled open, and there Lara stood, completely naked save for the beads hanging on her waist.

“I almost thought you wouldn’t make it,” she said, letting me in. I felt for my dagger; of course, I carried it everywhere I went. It was my favorite weapon: light and easy to hide. “I have a few guests.” She said, and I spotted the men who sat naked on the couch, panting.

“You may all leave now; The Luna would like to talk to me.”

They stood quickly, bowing—yes, it was awkward watching naked men curtsy.

They grabbed their clothes and walked away.

“I’m glad you came. Have a seat.”

“That won’t be necessary.”

“Would you prefer the bed then?”

“I’m here to learn how to…” I couldn’t say the word.

“I know. Engaging in practicals is a better way of learning.”

I took a seat on the couch.

    We were both naked. My eyes never left him; he stalked towards me, and picked me up, he placed me on the bed.“You don’t have the slightest idea what you’ve just awoken.”I leaned closer so my lips were against his ears.“Oh, I know.” I whispered.Like a starved man, he ripped off my lingerie, tossing it to the floor.Heat pooled between my legs; I had never been so ready.“Wait.”“I have no patience, Kaida… I’m one second away from taking you like the animal I am.”“You will have that and more if you let me.”He stared at me, the look of amusement in his eyes as he rolled over so I was on top.“I’m not a very curious man, but today I am curious… what are you up to?”“I can’t tell you, Alpha, but I can show you.”I took my position; he was hard, firm, and very huge. Slowly I took him in, and then I began moving. I rode him, just as Lara had done. He let out a guttural sound. My hands trailed down his chest.“Alex.” I moaned, increasing my pace.I could see it in his eyes; he was losin

    Aliya’s POVTrian stood dutifully at his post by the door. I watched him out of the corner of my eye, careful not to let him know I was looking. The man was indeed handsome. I wanted to say something to him—anything—but I didn’t know what to say. Since the incident, we hadn’t exchanged a single word. He went on breaks and returned as quickly as he could; he was always present, and suddenly my room didn’t feel like a cage anymore.If only I could talk to him. What would I say?Ask him about the weather?... maybe complement his… clothes. His uniform was different from the soldiers here. He wore a thick, black, high-collared jacket paired with fitted pants. From the texture, it looked like it was either made of crocodile skin or something that closely resembled it.I found my eyes trailing lower.“Aren’t you hungry?” He asked, and I quickly looked away from him, my gaze returning to the book in my hands, the one I held up-side-down.I was indeed hungry, but I was used to being starved.

    “I’m sorry for not inviting you to join me.” I apologize.“I am not hungry, but you are.”I wiped my mouth with the paper towel before placing it back on the tray.“You must be disgusted…”“No. I’m not.” He said, walking to me and taking the tray, I gripped his sleeve. “She cannot know, please… She would punish me for this.”He nods, but the slight confusion is clearly written across his face.He took the tray away and returned to his position; he didn’t say another word. I waited and waited for Julia to walk in and tell me how she had tried testing me and I failed, but she never did come in.Even as the night came.In the ninth hour, I turned off my lamp, shut my book, and headed to the bathroom. I took a quick wash before changing into my nightgown.I returned to the room.“You are not from here, are you?” I asked.“No. He answered. I’m from the North.”“I don’t hear much about the North.”“It’s far from here and surrounded by humans.”“Are you a werewolf?”“No. I’m not.”“Why did y

    How had he found me?I had never felt so afraid before; if he told the Empress about this… I rushed to him, falling on my knees. “Please, she can’t know…”“Are you referring to me?” the familiar voice belonging to Julia called from behind him. I rose to my feet quickly. “How did you find this place?” she asked, staring around.“I—I…”“Don’t lie to me, child.”“I found it a few years ago, Empress.”Her eyes landed on the wolf.“What is this?” she asked. I could see the pure disappointment on her face.“Please, he’s my friend…”The slap came so fast and hard that, for a moment, everything went black, and my ear rang. When my vision cleared, I realized I was on the floor.Ash snarled and lunged at her, knocking her to the ground. Its claws swiped at her face, narrowly missing.“Ash, no!”Trian walked to the Empress and picked the wolf up like it weighed nothing. Ash immediately went silent.The Empress rose to her feet, a cut on her neck—I hadn’t even noticed when that had happened. Tr

But life rarely goes as planned. Now, here he was, lying on his deathbed, awaiting the inevitable.His pack was gone, so was his daughter. Everything he had spent his years building was no more, he had given it all away, but he had no other option, he only wished his daughter could understand one day that he did all these for her.A female healer was the only one left to tend to him for the little time he had left.He heard footsteps approaching. It wasn’t yet time for the healer’s daily medications. He looked up, staring at the blurry figure. His eyes were weak, but he knew exactly who it was. It was the very person he was trying to save his daughter from. His ex-mate, Cynthia.“You are a very strong man, Alpha Trent –or perhaps I’ll call you Trent, since you are no longer an Alpha.” She said mockingly, but

    ALEXANDER’S POVI should have guessed what my little mate was up to when I saw her in nothing but the sexy lingerie. The image lived rent-free in my mind even as I worked.I had seen another part of Kaida, one that drove me insane. I closed my eyes, remembering how she rode me, gods those hips... I was willing to do anything, just so she wouldn’t stop. She’d discovered my weakness and she exploited it to her advantage. I shouldn’t be turned on by that, but damn was I hard.“The rogue is dead.” Keith—one of the council members—said to me.“Well, toss his body into the sea.” I said to him dismissively.“The rogues had already turned against the Gray Pack; the least we could do is return the body to the rogues.”I chuckled. “Did you get a glimpse of the body?”“No. A guard informed me that he was starting to rot.”“If you did get a glimpse, you would know that sending the mauled corpse to the rogues would be considered more an act of war than throwing it into the sea.”His eyes widened.

    KAIDA’S POVThere were so many things I didn’t know about Alexander. But now I could understand why he hid them. I was aware that his late mother was part demon; could she have lost control– could that have been what resulted in the marks she inflicted on her own son? I couldn’t imagine Luna Riley doing that in her right mind. Alex would say no more than what he had told me earlier; I wish he trusted me enough to tell me the truth.I knocked on the door to Lara’s room; it was partly opened.“Come in!” her voice called from inside the room, and I walked in, shutting the door behind me. I walked into the inner room. There Lara was, on her knees, before a man. A naked man. She had his cock in her mouth, his hand fisted into her hair, fucking her mouth. His eyes remained closed as if lost in his own world, and then he moved faster, thrusting deeper into her mouth.“Oh, gods.” The man moaned.I considered turning back and walking away. I shouldn’t be seeing this, but of course Lara never m

    I wore a gown—an elegant, mid-length, midnight blue dress. The neckline dipping just enough to reveal a hint of cleavage.“You should wear dresses more often,” Alexander said.“I wouldn’t have worn one if not for the fear of sticking out.”“You are the Luna of the Nightshade pack; you will always stick out.”We took the black Range Rovers, and the three cars following us carried five of our soldiers. Alexander took the lead, and I sat beside him in the passenger seat while he drove.“I didn’t know you were such a good driver.”“Is that a compliment?” he asked, looking away from the road ahead and at me.“No. I’m just surprised. Most ‘Alphas’ prefer seating behind while their drivers do the driving.”“Well, I’m not like most Alphas.” He said, his eyes still on me instead of on the road.“You will get us killed if you don’t focus on the road, you know.”He laughed. “Have more faith in me, Kaida.”“I would, if you were staring ahead instead of at me.”“You know what I think? I think I ma

    3ALEXANDER POVI watched her sleep. I couldn’t say exactly when the insecurities set in, but lately she kept talking about how she’d gotten “fat.” She wasn’t—she was pregnant, strong and healthy for an expectant mother.I pressed a soft kiss to her forehead. I’d spend eternity reminding her of her beauty if that’s what it took.It was time for work, but I didn’t want to leave Kaida alone—not with her due date only weeks away. Before heading out, I went to check on Alexa and found she was already awake.“Daddy, take me to Uncle D, pleeeease,” she begged.She was too adorable to refuse, but it was far too early.“It’s still sleeping time; he’s resting,” I said gently.“But Uncle D don’t sleep. He a vampire,” she whispered, as though sharing a top secret. I could have asked where she’d learned that word, but I already knew the answer.Then Kaida’s cry rang out from the next room: “Alexander! It’s coming—the baby…”My heart jolted. I raced back to our room and found her leaning against t

    1.***PHIL POVTwo Years Later…I had never felt so nervous.The day had finally come — Selene had turned twenty-one two days ago, and soon everything between us was about to change."Good luck, friend," Austin said to me."You got this," Ruth, Austin’s mate, added, and I nodded.A year ago, Ruth had finally said goodbye to the Winter Pack and joined her mate, Austin. Their reunion had been beautiful, and the pair had been inseparable ever since.I wanted something like that too — though I hadn’t realized how badly until I met Selene.At many points, I had thought about canceling the plan of waiting, but this time, Selene had been the one against it. I refused to think too deeply about the reason behind that.Now I stood by the door to her house and knocked.I waited a few moments; there was no response, so I knocked again.A woman answered — a complete stranger."I’m looking for Selene. Selene Ashford?" I asked."Oh, the Ashfords don’t live here anymore," she said — and my heart drop

    “The others are very angry,” Kyiv said to me. “They think I’m on your side, and that’s why I killed Skale. It’s no secret they don’t like me very much, so they’ve requested something from me—to make clear where my loyalty lies.”“And I’m guessing this thing they requested of you somehow involves me.”“That’s right. Let’s look at the pros of this operation. You’d get to leave the cell for a short while—after days of being locked up, that has to mean something. But then the cons: you’d be paraded naked in front of thousands of rogues, bound, and many would want to… touch.”“I have nothing to be ashamed of, but I’m more worried about your little plan with the plane crash. Aren’t you worried the news that I’m alive will leak out?”“I too believe this is a bad idea. Even if I stand to benefit in many ways — I’d finally prove myself a capable leader to the rogues, and the other rogue leaders would have nothing on me. But I still don’t trust their promises to keep the rogues silent, so the n

    I stared at the water in the wooden bowl. I was so thirsty.Could anything be worse than this?At least I would have one less thing to worry about—thirst.I reached for it. It was far enough to cause some strain on my already bruised wrist as I stretched for it, and then I took hold of it.Just before I could lift it up, the bowl slipped from my bloody grasp and fell to the floor, the contents splashing across the ground.Fuck.Well,I guess I really have no option now.Something captured my attention — a blackish smoke swirling in the air, growing thicker with every second.Then, through the smoke, Daemon stepped out.“There you are, about damn time. I was starting to wonder if I was at the wrong place,” he muttered.“How did you find me?”“I made a very wild guess.” “Kaida — how is she?”He tapped on the transparent glass, as if testing its strength.“She’s perfectly fine, and she knows you’re not dead. But she might not be too happy about the fact that I didn’t let her come with m

    “There’s a slight chance we aren’t dealing with a pack,” Daemon said. “Thank you for this information.”“Wait, you’re leaving me here? I just proved how important I could be.”“Yes, indeed. If you get any other information, just reach out,” he said, then turned around. He was really leaving.“Fuck you.” I muttered beneath my breath.“I heard that,” he called out. “I intended for you to hear that!” I said, but of course he was already gone.My gaze fell on Sebastian, still standing on the other side of the wall. He raised both hands in surrender before backing away. Frustrated, I stomped off..Kate arrived at the pack a few hours later. This time, she brought along her luggage.“You won’t really need all those for a few days.”“No, I won’t. But I’m not planning to stay for just a few days,” she said, walking into her room. I followed with two more of her luggage. “I’m moving into this pack,” she said finally, and I couldn’t deny how surprised I was at that.“Really?”“Yes,” she said,

    I walked past the patrolling soldier and Phil, who followed after me.“I thought you said you were leaving? I was worried you’d do something rash, so I came after you.”Good thing he and the other patrollers hadn’t witnessed what happened earlier.“Plans changed. Guess I was about to make a rash decision — but I changed my mind.”“Are you okay?” Phil asked, inspecting me.I knew I didn’t exactly look my best — I’d spent god-knows-how-long in the healing room, then ran straight to pack my bags, dressed in nothing but the white gown the healing wardens had supplied. My eyes must have been red from crying. But every other person in the pack looked the same, if not worse.They were all mourning Alexander—I realized.Many cast pitiful glances at me.“Why did he have to go?”, “He was too young to die,” “He ‘was’ the best Alpha the pack had ever had.”Everyone had something to say about Alexander.I could hardly believe I’d run past all these people without noticing a single thing.

    KADIA’S POVI woke up in the healing room.A pair of blue eyes watched me — Daemon. He looked… different, and it wasn’t just the new haircut. There was something about him that made him seem more human."Daemon," I called; my throat felt so dry.He seemed to have already prepared for that. He passed me a glass of water, which I quickly emptied.Everything came flooding back — the news about the plane crash. It became harder to breathe.“Kaida. Calm down.”"He's gone — he was in the plane when it crashed."I yanked out the tubes attached to my arm and rose to my feet. The movement had been too abrupt; the room seemed to spin.I felt hands guiding me back to the bed. I couldn’t hold in the tears.“He shouldn’t have been there. I made him go, and now…”“Stop.” Daemon said, cutting me off. “He is not dead. I visited the site; I didn’t find anything that indicated he was among the ones that died.”“You were at the site?” I asked, my heart speeding up with renewed hope.“Yes. The moment I h

    ALEXANDER’S POVMy blurred vision slowly cleared, and I realized I was in what looked like a small, empty room.The wall facing me was made of thick, transparent glass.I couldn’t tell how they managed to get me in here—there was no window or door, only a narrow slot likely meant for passing food and letting in just enough air to keep the ‘prisoner’ alive.I could only assume there was some kind of hidden entrance.My hands and ankles were bound with thick silver chains.The chains felt excessive—I could barely move a muscle.More wolfsbane than I’d ever consumed in my entire life had been pumped into my system, completely immobilizing me and filling me with this nauseating, sickly feeling. I hadn’t realized I was shivering until I noticed the tremble in my fingers.The room was chillingly cold, and with the wolfsbane suppressing my werewolf abilities, I was no exception to the cold. I tried to summon flames. Nothing.Maybe I was just too weak to summon the flames. The crushing feeli

    1KADIA’S POVWhen I discovered the news of my pregnancy, I had been so happy. But I knew a lot would have to change.I had to be more cautious—for the baby. That meant I wouldn’t be able to keep training the pack soldiers for much longer. Of course, I’d have to give up that duty eventually and it had become a part of my life. I would have to watch my diet, too. And then there were other things. Like the fact that I would grow big, and I might not look the same. My toned stomach which I had spent years working on would be no more.This had been the type of life I once abhorred, but everything was different now—I wanted this. I could see a future with Alexander, filled with laughter and little kids running around, and the thought made me smile.Lara was the first person to find out I was pregnant.After I discovered the pregnancy test was unmistakably positive, I was as scared as I was excited.Lara happened to be visiting the pack, and we kind of bumped into each other.
