LOGINAs Byron’z gaze sat on me, a chill swept through the tent. I immediately noticed Adrian’s posture stiffen.His eyes moved to the exit. Gideon and Matthias looked on edge, they exchanged glances. I could feel something…powerful.Mist poured through the tent. My grip on Noah tightened. Byron looked ar
I felt a new kind of anger. I was breathing through it as my eyes drifted around the tent. They landed on feet laying down. I scanned closer. It was Martha.She was unconscious on the ground next to Noah. Part of me was relieved she wasn’t dead, but now I had to get her out along with Noah. And I di
“We can’t let Byron keep him over night. I won’t let him spend another day there.” I told him.“Byron won’t hurt Noah, he needs him too much.” Adrian said. “We will get him back, but we need to be careful. We don’t know what they’re preparing to do. We can’t be rash and play right into their hand.”
“I was surprised Isla, that you could spend so long on your own. We are pack animals after all. But you weren’t alone, were you?” He said.No. No, no, no…it could be. Byron waved a hand behind him. And a figure began to approach from the trees.“Come out, child. There’s nothing to fear.” Byron said.

Adrian’s POVI followed Isla’s trail. Her scent was thick, she couldn’t be far. Maybe I should have put a tracker on her, I thought, as I walked by door after door. I zeroed in on the voices inside each of the rooms.Wolves were getting intimate as the evening grew late. The moans of pleasure didn’t
Adrian’s POVI spun a female around by her hand. The song ended and she bowed to me. I gave a slight bow back as she giggled and pranced away.Tonight was exhausting. I glanced around to see Gideon, dancing now with Portia. For once, he looked to be enjoying himself. Portia looked quite pleased as w
I'd seen outfits like this in our pack history books. This was traditional slave attire for women. Nothing about these garments seemed old though. They must have made this just for me.The servants then pulled me from the room and out of the house. This time, I was led back to the community center,
I blinked and my tears fell down, pooling where Adrian held onto my face.My voice cracked as I said, "I'm sorry."With the pain of my body, my heart, and my mind, I was so very close to giving up.
