LOGINMASONA careless Alpha?The words hung in the air and for a minute no one moved. There was total silence.So Edric finally decided to show his claws."You will watch your tongue" I growled, straining against the hands that were still holding me."You don't get to speak of the Alpha that way" Elder Ronan added but Edric grinned as if pleased with where this was headed."I never truly considered him as an alpha" he said, his voice not knowing the weight they carried through the stunned crowd."And after tonight, I have no respect for him at all" "Enough" Leona's voice came through. Every head turned her way. I noticed her fists clenching by her sides with her eyes locked on Edric."I knew you were no good. I never liked you uncle. But who knew you would finally show your true colours this soon.""Your loyalty to your brother is expected but it can not change facts" He said."What facts?" Leona asked."The fact that he left us. He abandoned the pack at its weakest moment to chase after
MASONI hesitated in front of Leona's cabin. I straightened the clothes I had worn along the way. I should rush in and get her out of here before the hunters do, but I found myself taking a break.I scanned the surroundings before finally entering inside the cabin. Leona was sitting on the bed but now fully clothed.Her eyes glared my way before softening in realization of who had entered the Cabin."What are you-""We have to leave" I cut her off while stepping in front of her"What's going on?" she asked standing up as if reading the air. Just then an explosion sound rang into my ears. Sure she heard it too cause her expression gave her away.It seems the hunters are getting closer. I grabbed her hand to head for the door as I couldn't spare any time.I was about to open the door when the sounds of footsteps echoed outside. I instinctively pulled back Leona as we rested against the wall. She tensed slightly."The pack is under attack" I said via mind link"What? How? When?" she aske
MASON The message rippled through the chaos. Wolves stopped fighting and started running. The hunters noticed the shift immediately. They cheered and gave chase, thinking they had us on the run. But we weren't running in fear. We were running to survive.As soon as we hit the tree line, the wolves who were still in human form stripped off their clothes and shifted. Four legs were faster than two. We had the speed advantage in the dense forest.I watched as mothers grabbed their pups, shifting mid-stride to carry them in their jaws. We moved like a stream of water flowing away from fire, rushing down the path Knox and I had built years ago."Where are we going?" Ronnie asked, sprinting beside me in his wolf form, via mind link."The escape route," I sent back. "Down by the old riverbed. It's hidden. They won't find us there."We reached the narrow ravine that carved through the southern part of the territory. It was overgrown with thick vines and hanging branches, the perfect camoufla
MASON The cool air hit my face, but it didn't clear my head. As I walked toward the pack grounds, the silence of the forest vanished. I was hearing it now. The noise.It wasn't the wind. It was screaming.I froze. My senses sharpened instantly, the post-sex haze evaporating. "What's going on?" I muttered to myself.I started to run. My feet pounded against the dirt path as I raced toward the center of the pack. The smell hit me before I saw it, blood, burning and silver.When I broke through the tree line, the scene in front of me made my blood run cold. Wolves were scattered everywhere, shifting and fighting, but they weren't winning.There were humans everywhere. Hunters. They were swarming the pack lands, moving with military precision.It was a massacre. Bodies were already on the ground—both wolves in human form and in wolf form. Blood soaked the grass. But it wasn't just a normal attack. The hunters were prepared. They had wolfsbane, yes, but they had something else.Some kind
MASONThe room felt smaller, hotter and thick with a scent that was purely her and me mixed together. I couldn't think straight, couldn't do anything but feel.Leona was on her hands and knees in front of me, her head hanging low, her back arched deep. Every time I moved my hips, the sound of skin hitting skin echoed off the wooden walls. It was loud, raw, undeniable.She was a mess. A beautiful, chaotic mess. Her fingers were gripping the sheets so hard her knuckles were white, and she was making these sounds, these low, needy moans that vibrated against my chest even though we weren't touching there.I watched the way her body reacted to mine. Her breasts were moving violently underneath her, jiggling with the force of every thrust I gave her. It was hypnotic. I couldn't look away."Mason," she gasped, her voice breaking. "Damn. That's the spot."I groaned, low in my throat. I couldn't help it. Being inside her felt like finally coming home after a lifetime of being lost, but it als
MASON POVI paced around the pack house office, the weight of being in charge settling heavy on my shoulders.Knox had shifted and bolted off to protect Aria—his mate. That left me holding the fort, making sure everything stayed steady.But my mind kept circling back to Edric, that old schemer who'd been gunning for the alpha spot for years.A spy got caught and instead of denying it all, Edric just... ran. Left his plans right there in his room, like he wanted us to find them.The treason, clear as day: kill Knox, and crown himself tyrant alpha. With that proof, when Knox gets back, it'll be easy to strip his titles and lock him up.But I couldn't help overthinking. It was too easy. Something felt off. How is it that Edric who had been planning for years would just leave his plans and run away just like that. Something just didn't add up. Was I just overthinking?My thoughts shattered when a tug hit me through the bond. My wolf whined inside, howling for our mate.Pain seeped throug
ARIASunlight filtered through the curtains pulling me out of sleep. I blinked a few times, to wake myself fully. My body felt heavy and sore in the best way. My head was against Knox's chest with his arms wrapped around my waist. I turned to face him with a smile tugging my lips without me even t
ARIAThe trial is less than a week now and my training has been more intense.I had a packed schedule. Training with Knox at dawn, with Leona during the day, and in the evening, the library with Mason.At times, Knox had come instead of Mason. I couldn't be more grateful. But right now, I was heade
ARIAI had spent the rest of the day training with Leona, and now it was evening. I considered swinging by the pack house for dinner, but nah—I'd grabbed brunch there earlier, and it made more sense to wait for Knox. Eating together sounded perfect.I walked into the house, only to perceive Knox’s
ARIAHis lips crashed against mine in a hungry kiss. I could feel the solid length of his cock pressing insistently against my entrance, the broad head nudging my slick folds apart.My body trembled beneath him from anticipation and nervousness.Knox broke the kiss as he searched my eyes one last t
