LOGINSlave to her pack, Delilah Hunt has suffered the worst betrayal from those she considered family. Turning from a Sentinel to a wolfless member of the pack, she has lost all hope. Not until she met General Kane, the executioner. Kane lost all empathy and developed a stony heart years ago when his birth mother was banished by his father. He never bothered to search for his mate, refusing to love or be loved by anyone. He lived closed off from the rest of the world except a few of his pack members. But an encounter with Delilah Hunt, one of his many prisoners, sets off something in him. For how long would he be able to resist their bond?
View MoreKane's POVNothing seems good about this place. I can't place my hand on it, but there's some sort of strange, magical signal I'm sensing from this bunker.I use the light from my phone to brighten my way as I walk further into the bunker. I tread carefully not letting myself get fooled by the strange ambience of the place.The tunnel leads straight ahead, boring with no signs of activity. The walls are made of black bricks, the same as the floor. I sense the magic getting stronger and I stop. This is warlock territory and a secret bunker at that. Of course, there will be boobytraps.I take out a gold necklace we had retrieved from Delilah the first time she came here. It was a purple amulet that dropped from her clothes when I grabbed her back in the woods the first day we met.I hold it out in front of me as some means of identification. If the magic senses warlock energy I believe it will disarm whatever attack that has been prepared.I walk further into the tunnel."This place is
Kane's POVI make my way back to the Blood Moon pack as fast as I can. Knowing the type of person the Ultima is, I'm sure he has sent his soldiers to ambush me on the way. I travel across the kingdom and get to blood moon pack unscathed. On arriving, I head straight to the Alpha Quarters. Ezekiel is already at the entrance waiting for me. "Sir! The car is ready," He says, standing beside a black vehicle."I need to get something from my study first." Inside the house is quiet as I climb up to my study. There's a red leather-covered book in a box on one of my bookshelves. I retrieve it, dust it and take it with me to the car. On getting to the front passenger's seat, Ezekiel is already seated there waiting. "I'll need to go alone this time, Ezekiel." Initially, he frowns in response before agreeing and stepping out of the car. The driver leaves the car too and I take over his position behind the wheel. No one knows where I'm headed. And I want it that way. I can't let another pe
Delilah's POVVivian quickly rushes to me and holds me as I'm about to land on the floor."Delilah, are you okay?" she asks in panic.I place my hand on my head, trying to stabilise myself. What the hell is this? Genevieve comes to me, looking as surprised as Vivian."I never expected your father to hex the book. Let me get you something to clear that up."She leaves and returns shortly with a green bottle in her hands. She puts it to my lips and the sour liquid pours into my mouth.The drink makes me want to throw up. She quickly removes the bottle from my lips and watches me silently. My eyes begin to clear gradually and Vivian gets me some water to drink."No, don't give her that yet, it will dilute the effect of the drug," Genevieve says, stopping her.In less than a minute, I regained full consciousness. "What was that?" I ask Genevieve."Some magicians cast spells on their belongings to prevent malicious people from having access to them.""But I'm not a malicious person," I cou
Delilah's POVThe flesh on my palm is a dark shade of pink, coupled with the painfully burning feeling inside. Vivian stares at me like I've grown two heads. Her eyes grow wide in shock and her mouth hangs open. The fire from the burning wood has been extinguished and the smoke trails in the air. I open my mouth to speak but I'm hit with a sudden dizzy spell that sends me reeling backwards. Vivian quickly catches me and holds me in place. "Come on, let's go inside." She leads me to the bedroom and we retire for the night. The next morning, the sound of my room door opening wakes me up. Cecile walks in carrying a bag. "Good morning, Delilah. How are you feeling?" "Better," I reply, sitting up in bed. "Off to somewhere?" "Yes, I need to visit Denise before she starts to worry about us. It's getting hard to keep convincing your employer that you're still sick. She's asking to visit you in the hospital." I let out a tired sigh. "I'll just resign so she doesn't start looking into m
Kane's POV The Ultima studies my expression, resting his elbows on the golden arms of his chair. Clenching my fist, I try to contain my growing anger. I know he is gauging my reaction to see how his words would affect me. But I won't give him the benefit of watching me lose my temper. Speaking i
Delilah's POVIf only tears could bring back the dead, I would cry a river. But it can't, so I have to get myself together and move on. Besides, there's trouble in the land of Avalon. And General Kane has to leave.I take one last look at the stone sitting at the top of the grave. There's no inscri
Delilah's POVAll my life, I've heard bad stories about my father. Now, standing before Genevieve I feel like I shouldn't ask. But I still do. "How did you get to meet him?" She presses her lips together and looks at me. "He was escaping Avalon when his portal opened up into this neighbourhood."
Delilah's POV General Kane disappears through the portal and we watch silently. The oracle still has her eyes on the mirror, as if expecting something. I'm scared to even discover what it is. The portal is supposed to take Kane straight to Avalon. It's a simple thing, right? Except if there are co
