LOGINHALIL’S POV What now? It was my world against Kai’s. I struggled with the lethal urge to pull everything to the ground. To the fucking ground. Stephanie was fucking going against my words. Because, Kai gave her an order. I was the pack leader here. The Lycan King. I paced the length of the room angrily, bidding my time. I was going to flare up pretty soon, and even Stephanie wasn’t going to stand the heat of that. So, I paused to look at her one more time. This time around, I allowed my wolf to come out in full bloom. “I’m sorry I—“ the words barely got out of her lips, when I snaked my hands around her neck, and lifted her right across the ground.Now, I allowed my wolf do what he freaking wanted to do. Oh, even though my wolf was this close to switching to his wolf’s form, and I was going to shift into a full wolf, I wasn’t going to hit a woman. However, what I’m going to do. I was going to put fear in her. “Do not…let me repeat myself a next time.”Stephanie choked, gasping
NORA’S POV “Hey you!” Stephanie’s voice boomed from behind the heavy metallic bar. Yes. I didn’t make it to the end of the pack border. When I was caught, Alpha Kai handed me over to Stephanie, “She wants to leave so bad, Steph. Make her not think of leaving.” He’d said that night. He tossed me to Stephanie like I was some piece of rag, and left. Stephanie ordered that I be thrown into the dungeon. I stared at her, groaned and looked away. My hands and legs were clamped in a chain. My entire body felt limp, and bile stretched over my throat. I sniffled. When will I get a break from being tortured every damn time? When will I walk freely and get accepted into a pack without being jested at as if I was some puppet? A growl entered my ears, followed by the scraping sound of the door creaking open. A hand wrapped around my hair, and pulled me forcefully. Unfortunately, the chains were still clamped to the wall, dragging me back in place. The force tightened around my wrist, the sha
KAI’S POV “Trying to escape again huh?” I tilted my head, staring at her in fascination. This woman was still in bandages. Gosh! She was still clearly in pain, and she was trying to escape, again? For the third time. I sighed, paced the length of the room, whilst my hand was folded behind me. I nudged her with the tip of my chin. “Go ahead,”Her chest rose up and down with a hard swallow. She didn’t move. I walked to the nearest couch, and propped myself against it. “I’m waiting. Go ahead and jump, try to escape again,” my voice was steady, but with the way she shuddered in terror, it carried the right amount of dread I wanted. “Go on. I had a long day, and it’ll be fun to watch you try to break out.”“I-I-I-”I let out a growl, cutting her the fuck off. “Don’t you dare try to defend yourself.”Nora dragged in air into her lungs. “I do not care about you. I’m going to escape eventually.”“Fine,” I looked down on my wristwatch. “I’ll let you go. Afterall, you’re injured. I wouldn’t
NORA’S POV “You’re slowly healing. You’ll have to stay in bed for a few more days.” The doctor said, as he checked my vitals. I inhaled air. My injuries were healing slowly for one reason— I was wolfless. A small smile appeared over the corner of his lips. “Don’t worry about being wolfless. Not everybody is lucky enough to have wolves.”A lump gathered around my throat. “Help me sit up, please.” I managed to say through my injuries. The old man hesitated, then he helped me. When he was sure I was in a good position, he pulled away. “Please make a conscious effort to follow your prescription to the latter. The Lycan Kings would have our heads on a stake if anything goes wrong to their—”“Breeder.” My voice came out dry. I shifted my gaze to him, and saw the colour drain from his face. I chuckled. “There’s no point feeling bad about anything. I know exactly why I’m here.”He sighed. “They must have pups.”“And a stray is the best option they could get,” I paused, and let out a scof
KAI’S POV I counted to three in my head, enough for Halil’s fist to land on Leon’s face, before I stood up. I stood in between them. “Hey, Halil—”Halil’s chest rose up and down frantically. “Tell this bastard not to talk to me about our mate anymore.”Leon let out a chilling laughter. His teeth bloodied, as the sound erupted from his throat. “Why are you so worked up over a bitch you would toss out the instant she gives you both heirs?”Leon’s question lingered in the thick atmosphere. He spat. “I bet you thought I wouldn’t know. The news is all over the blackcrest pack,” he gestured, spreading his hands. “The most feared Lycan twins. The Virelli twins, mated to a stray!”That was it. That was the last straw that snapped the camels back. My wolf went wild with anger. He howled, and wanted to dash out of the mindlock I subjected him to. Halil’s wolf beat me to it. The sound of bone snapping slitted into my ears. Followed by his fangs slicing out. His eyes turned red. In a few min
HALIL’S POVI watched the back and forth between Kai and Leon with a bored expression. Leon made it his life purpose to always prove that Kai and I were living off the effects of nepotism. Even when it was clear we worked our way up with the pack. He just wouldn’t have it. I stared at the document in front of me. What was the point of indulging in Leon’s excesses when he took pleasure in disgusting the living daylight out of me? “…Emrys will be stepping down from her role as board director.” Stephanie’s voice cut through my reverie. I snapped my head in her direction. Kai’s facial expression turned stoic. Emrys was fighting to keep the smile on her lips stable. I just stared blankly. This wasn’t the plan, never was. Emrys was supposed to keep the position as director of the board for as long as she could. In our defense, we had not just the pack to take care of, we had to control the brutal politics of the werewolf world. Alexander Rossi was the first to speak. “Emrys, it’ll be
HALIL’S POV My second chance mate was from an enemy pack. Perhaps, she was rejected for being distasteful and wolfless. Then, in a swing of events the moon goddess thought it was a good deal to mate me with her. A knock sounded on the door leading to my office, followed by heavy footsteps. Kai wa
HALIL’S POV Keanu my wolf growled, her endearing scent filling him. ‘What are you trying to do?’ He quipped through a mindlink. A thousand dark ideas floated through my mind. From the way her body responded, to the way she arched her back when I inched closer to her, the small moans, they were al
NORA’S POV I pulled my head away as one of the maids tried to bring the brush to my face. My heart twisted with double emotions.“I don’t want none of that on my face.” My voice came out firm.The maid’s eyebrows pulled together in a deep frown. “It was the Alphas order.” Her tone came out brash.
NORA’S POV The instant I stepped foot in the hall, the orchestra playing from the background stopped. All eyes turned to my direction. I shifted between my feet, unsure of the first thing to do. This was strange to me. Getting invited to a banquet? My ex husband, Aiden never did that unless it w
