FAZER LOGIN"You think because you pulled me from the Blacktide Waters, you own my bloodline, Franklin?" David’s voice is a low, predatory gravel, his massive frame trapping me against the cold stone of the den. His dominant alpha scent fills the space, thick with pine and raw, untamed heat. "You made the mating pact. Now stand still and let me claim my debt." "I told you it was a joke, Double D," I snap, my fangs pricking my lip as my inner wolf thrashes against the intoxicating weight of his presence. I twist beneath his grip, but his large, heavily calloused hands slide down my spine, burning right through the silver-weave fabric of my tunic. "We are in the middle of a territory war. My family’s manor is swimming in treason, and you're worried about an accidental bond?" "There are no accidents when our wolves touch," David growls, his lips brushing the sensitive skin right below my jawline, making a violent shiver rip down my spine. "Your scent is driving my beast insane, klinton. If you don't shut your mouth and press your body against mine right now, I'm going to take you right here on the stone floor, council rules be damned." Franklin Sterling is a fierce, exiled omega heir who has spent ten harsh winters enduring the brutal Ashgrove Wildlands after surviving an assassination attempt ordered by his own father. But when a violent storm strands him on the treacherous Skullmoon Isle, he drags a lethal, dominant Apex Alpha from the jaws of the Blacktide Waters: David Duskbane, the ruthless commander known across the territories as Double D. Can Franklin navigate the lethal vipers of his old den while fighting a suffocating, erotic bond with the most dangerous predator in the northern hemisphere?
Ver mais"There is a southern devil in your sister's furs, Franklin," Cedron says, his voice cracking slightly as he steps back. "She has taken a venom-strike. I must attempt to clear the space...""No, Father!" I gasp, my eyes widening in perfect, calculated horror as I step between him and the threshold. "This is a high-tier predator! You are the Alpha of our line—if your blood core is compromised, the Sterling pack will fall to the northern raiders! I cannot let you risk your life!"Mirelle’s scent turns entirely rancid with fury. Without a single word of warning, her hand snaps out, her claws fully extending as she drives a vicious, open-palm strike directly into my face.With my reflexes, I could have caught her wrist and snapped it before her skin touched mine, but I see Cedron's eyes tracking us. At the last microsecond, I drop my guard and take the blow.Slap!The impact echoes down the stone corridor. The force spins my head to the side, my cheek instantly turning a dark, swollen crim
"The moon has turned, klinton," I whisper into the heavy, black air of my quarters, refusing to touch the wall levers for the fire-orbs.The blue light of the communication slate cuts through the darkness as I stalk toward the edge of my mattress. My boots are completely silent against the stone floor. Hiss. A dry, sharp rattle tears through the silence—the rapid, defensive inhalation of a cornered predator. The vibration settles about three feet from my left boot, right in the center of my caribou bedding."What manner of vermin did they set loose in my den?" I murmur, lifting the slate high to let the display's glare flood the dark sheets.A massive Blacktide adder, its neck fully flared into a hood of iridescent scales, glares back at me with unblinking, emerald eyes. It is already coiled, its lethal weight shifting to launch. If my wolf hadn't broken through my sleep cycle due to the servant's retreating tracks, my throat would already be liquefying from its fangs.The serpent str
"You possess an intriguing aura, Franklin," a sub-alpha from the northern border murmurs, moving into my space with an oiled, polite grin. "Perhaps we could run the Condex hunting tracks together sometime?"I lift my chin, keeping my expression entirely flat as three more pack scions circle my position near the lower pillars."Your physical conditioning is flawless for someone who survived the wilderness," another notes, his eyes tracking the silver line of my shoulder armor. "What tier did your wolf manifest in the outer rings?""We must sync our territory markers," a third chimes in, holding out a silver-embossed communication slate. "Now that you have returned to Condex, the high courts will expect you to integrate."They radiate a sickeningly sweet, syrupy diplomacy, their inner wolves desperately trying to gauge my political worth after witnessing David Duskbane protect me. I offer them a shallow, perfectly hollow smile, tilting my head with calculated innocence. "Of course. A re
"Get your hands off him, you absolute bastard!"Mirelle Voss's screech ripples through the upper gallery as she lunges across the stone dais toward Tahlia's collapsed form. Her ceremonial headpiece shatters against the basalt floor, silver pins scattering like teeth. In her frenzied panic to shield her bastard child, Mirelle drives her shoulder violently into my flank, deliberately trying to force me over the drop.I am balanced on the narrow edge of the wooden ritual stage, my ankles locked into the five-inch silver Uoman Lanka combat boots. The sudden, unweighted impact snaps my center of gravity completely sideways. I am plunging off the platform toward the jagged stone floor below.Instinct takes over. I tuck my chin and cross my forearms over my throat to absorb the concussion of the fall. If my skull cracks against the basalt, the Vinqlo guards will shred my inner wolf before I can shift.But the impact never comes.A massive, slate-hard forearm bolts out of the darkness, striki
