Se connecterEleanor povA smile lingered on my lips. Somewhere in the back of my mind, I could almost hear a nonexistent music playing, slow and light, as though the world itself had slowed down.My cheek rested against a hard chest, the firm muscles beneath his slightly unbuttoned shirt rose and fell in a slow, steady rhythm. The thick fur coat draped over his shoulders brushed against my skin, warm despite the cold radiating from the man wearing it. His scent surrounded me completely, it was addictive, wrapping around me just as securely as the arm holding me against him.Alexander carried me up the staircase as though I weighed nothing. I didn't even need to open my eyes to know he was smiling.That amused, infuriating smile had never disappeared.Not after I collapsed.Not after he picked me up.Not even during the entire drive back to the packhouse.That devil hadn't spoken a single word since. He had merely looked down at my face... then chuckled, as though he'd been thoroughly amused. A
Eleanor povThe words had barely left my mouth before I moved.The first rogue didn't even have time to scream. My hand shot through the air, wrapped around his head, and with one violent twist—CRACK!His head tore clean from his shoulders. Blood erupted into the air like crimson rain, splattering across my face and clothes. A delighted laugh escaped my lips as the severed head dangled lazily from my fingers before I tossed it aside. The body collapsed with a dull thud, then I moved again."No! Run!”One of the rogues screamed but it was too late. I appeared behind him. My fingers dug into his skull.He screamed.I laughed.And with one savage yank—RIP!His head came off. Blood sprayed across the floor, painting the walls as the body crumpled lifelessly beside me.The hostages erupted into terrified screams. Some covered their mouths. Some turned away, unable to watch. Others collapsed onto the floor, crying as blood continued to splash around the room.It didn't matter.I kept mov
Eleanor povThe temperature in the restaurant dropped as a cold chill swept through the air. The next second, they moved. Not together like before, but separately—faster, sharper. Every movement screamed desperation, this was no longer a battle. It was survival.The first rogue shot toward me in human form, gritting his teeth as he raised his sword overhead. "Die!" he roared, bringing the blade crashing down toward my neck.I didn't move. My hands remained folded behind my back as I watched everything unfold in slow motion. The steel reflected the lights above as it came closer, slowing down just an inch from my throat. The rogue's lips curled into a triumphant smile. He thought he had me.I smiled back.Without moving my feet, I simply leaned my upper body backward.Whoosh.The blade sliced through the air, barely brushing a single strand of my hair. I remained perfectly balanced, staring up at him from that impossible angle as a soft chuckle escaped my lips."You haven't even ta
Eleanor povThis was the world of werewolves.A world of supernatural beings where the law of the jungle reigned supreme.A world where the strong preyed upon the weak, and the weak survived only by bowing their heads. In a world like this, everyone longed for strength. Everyone dreamed of standing at the very top, to become the predator instead of the prey. Many wore masks, many barked louder than they could bite. Many pretended to be monsters when, deep down, they were nothing more than frightened rabbits trying desperately to look like wolves.So... in a world full of fakes... who was the real predator? Who truly stood at the top of the food chain? Who didn't need to roar... whose very name alone was enough to make monsters forget how to breathe? The kind of fear that smelled like death itself.I stared at the trembling rogue with a grin, amusement glinting in my eyes as I watched his mask crack apart until nothing remained except pure, overwhelming terror.Then..."Hahahahaha!"
Mary povMy eyes widened, a gasp escaped my lips as I whipped around. The rogue was standing directly in front of me with a smile.My eyes widened and a terrifying scream ripped from my throat.The sound echoed through the restaurant as my knees suddenly gave out beneath me and I hit the floor hard, my entire body trembled violently as tears streamed down my cheeks and panic swallowed every coherent thought in my head."P-Please..." I sobbed, scrambling backward. "Please don't kill me... please..." My voice cracked painfully. "My husband will pay. He will definitely pay. I swear he will..." I begged, my hands in the air as if that would somehow keep me safe yet the rogue merely scoffed, as though my fear disgusted him, as though my life meant absolutely nothing. He took another step toward me, then another, I watched his hand begin to reach for me, however before his fingers could touch me—Thud!A sharp sound echoed through the restaurant."Mummy!"The rogue paused, his hand stopp
Mary pov“The number you have dialed is unavailable. Please try again later.”No. No. No.The words echoed through the restaurant before a horrible, suffocating silence followed. My eyes remained fixed on the phone in my trembling hand. He had cut the call. Ethan hadn't answered it. For the first time, he had cut the call on me.My breathing hitched. A sharp ringing filled my ears as my thoughts immediately spiraled. Did he know? Did he know what was happening here? Had he abandoned me just like he abandoned Eleanor?The phone slipped from my fingers before I even realized it, hitting the ground.No, that wasn't possible. Ethan loved me, he loved me. He would never do that to me, I wasn't Eleanor. I wasn't that pathetic woman who had died begging for someone to choose her. I was Mary, his wife, the mother of his unborn child, the Luna he loved....Wasn't I?My chest tightened, the thoughts wouldn't stop. They crawled through my head like insects, tearing through every certainty I
Ethan povThe room was thick with tension.The air felt cold enough to freeze over as two overwhelming auras collided in silence, auras strong enough to suffocate anyone caught between them. As I sat in my seat, staring at the two men before me, I couldn't help thinking how impossible it was for t
Eleanor pov "You have only gotten prettier, Luna. I haven't seen a pregnant woman like you who glows so much. No one can really compare to you." "Yes, I agree, Luna. I am sure the Alpha can't take his eyes away from you. He is finally about to get a child from the woman he truly loves. That cruel
Alexander povI ignored them. Every single one of them. My attention remained fixed on her, only her.Eleanor stared at me for a long moment before tilting her head. Then the corners of her crimson lips slowly curved upward.A soft laugh escaped her, it was low and warm. She hummed thoughtfully, a
Eleanor povThump. Thump. Thump.That was the sound of my heart pounding violently against my chest.The sound of the tension coiling tighter and tighter in the space between us.The sound of the world slowing down as I stood pressed against the cold glass, my breathing uneven, sharp, my thighs tre
