View MoreXenia’s heart pounded as she narrowed her gaze, locking onto Mason’s intense expression. What are you playing at? Xenia wondered as she stared at Mason, searching for any signs of deception. But all she found was a raw mixture of lust and determination.“You can’t be serious,” she scoffed, hoping her laugh would push him back. But instead, Mason smiled, a slow, predatory grin that sent heat pooling low in her stomach.“I think you know me well enough to realize I’m very serious,”he replied, his gaze flickering down to her lips, making his intentions crystal clear. “You realize every time we’ve kissed it was Rodin who was in control. I can’t help but feel a bit…”“...jealous,” Xenia replied.“...left out,” he finished, his eyes darkening as he moved closer, closing the gap between them. She felt her pulse quicken, her body betraying her mind. His nearness was intoxicating, and that made her furious. She tried to fight the rush of heat flooding her, swallowing hard as she placed a hand
Xenia could barely sleep that night, knowing that today could very well be her last. She sat in her nightgown, looking out the window. The moon was long gone and the world outside was pitch black. Still she could see the outline of every tree, grass, and night creatures returning to their hideaways. She thought about Jane and Tammy before they left.“I can deal with Rick and Lillian,” Jane said, “but find a way to get the girls out. I’m sure you can convince the Alpha.”Xenia groaned, not wanting to deal with him at all. Even after Jane and Tammy reassured her about the plan, she still felt anxious. Of course anybody who knew when they were going to die would be nervous, but she didn’t want the girls to get in any more trouble. No one else is going to die because of me.You should not think like that,” Nova interrupted. “You are stronger than you think, Xenia.”Xenia forced a smile as she looked out the window. “My mother used to say ‘We can’t do much about misfortunes that blindside
As Micah gradually regained consciousness, the voices around him sounded distant and muffled at first. Slowly, the world came back into focus; the cool touch of the ground beneath him, the hushed murmurs of his friends, the sunlight filtering through the tent windows. Unnoticed amidst their conversation, Micah struggled to push himself up from the ground, a wry grin playing on his lips as he observed his friends.“Oh, please,” Micah interjected with a touch of sarcasm, “don’t you all rush to help me at once.”Startled, everyone turned to him, their expressions a mixture of relief and concern as they realized he was conscious.“What happened?” Lottie asked, her brow furrowed with worry.“Did someone call you?” Laurie’s hands glowed softly as she checked his aura for any signs of distress.“It might have been something he ate,” Grandma Addy chimed in, “or tried to eat.” She threw a pointed look at Laurie, who, in turn, pointed at Micah.“I’m fine,” Micah reassured them, brushing off the
Laurie and Micah exchanged glances across the yard. The market was bustling with people selling or buying items. Lottie’s grandmother was setting up her tent with the most delicious smelling prized pies, declaring it off-limits. They arrived in Greenville the night before after running nonstop and were greeted with a warm invitation. Lottie sent word the day before, so there was already a place for everyone to sleep.The next day, they decided to meet up in the market.“I can go speak with the fishmongers, the gatherers of the pack are usually set up over there, and the warriors would be on their morning run,” Lottie instructed. “Thanks, Lottie,” Micah said. “If we split up then maybe we get as much information as possible.”Everyone nodded in agreement before dispersing into the crowd. Micah’s gaze lingered on the pies, his mouth watering as he almost reached out to touch one. But Grandma Addy, sharp as ever despite her age, smacked his hand away before he could make contact. A low g
Mason stormed into his office like a raging bull, his anger palpable as Lillian and Rick trailed behind, hesitant. He paced the room, clenching the letter he just received with frustration. Lillian and Rick shared uneasy glances, bracing themselves for what to come, until Mason finally unleashed a growl of fury.“How the hell is this possible, Lillian!” Mason’s voice thundered, his red eyes ablaze with fury. “I thought you assured me we had nothing to worry about. ‘I think it’s time to get rid of the opposition permanently.’ Isn’t that what you said?”Lillian bristled at his tone, casting her eyes downward. His aura pricked at their skin like pin needles. She could barely breathe in his presence. “You know how difficult it is to kill your brother,” she muttered.“What was that?” Mason demanded, his voice tight with anger.Lillian knew he really didn’t want her to answer so she held her tongue, waiting for his anger to simmer down. Mason gripped the mantle with enough force to crack th
For hours, Mason remained seated in the armchair, lost in the pages of his book. Occasionally, his eyes would drift towards Xenia, who seemed frozen in place by the window. Perched there, her posture rigid, as though any relaxation might unleash a torrent of pent-up emotions. The silence enveloped them like a suffocating blanket, punctuated only by the heavy sighs escaping Xenia;s lips, each laden with unspoken anguish and unresolved bitterness. Suddenly a timid knock shattered the delicate balance of the room, Xenia’s gaze narrowed suspiciously as the door creaked open, revealing Jane with a tray of steaming dishes. Her eyes darted nervously between Mason and Xenia, who turned her attention back to the outside world.“Excuse me, Alpha,” Jane began hesitantly. “I’ve brought lunch.”Mason gestured for her to approach, and Jane set the tray down on the table. As she turned to leave, Mason halted her.“Xenia needs help cleaning her hands before eating,” Mason commanded.. “I’m not hungr
Nova observed from a distance as Xenia navigated through the stages of grief, her emotions ranging from mutterings to hysterical crying. Nova felt the urge to comfort her, but every time she approached, Xenia would abruptly jump up with another round of rambling. “It’s possible she got away,” Xenia said to no one in particular. “Right? I mean, we didn't see a body. She probably saw the first light and jumped out of the way. Yeah, my mother is smart like that.” Xenia nodded, seemingly in agreement with herself. “That has to be it. She's not dead unless I see a body.” A moment later. “That explosion was big though. There’s no way she could’ve made it. Oh God please just bring her back. I will do anything. Take me, take me!” Xenia turned to Nova, pleading with her. “Maybe we can bring her back. Like Melania, right? You can ask your goddess or do some magical stuff. Please, Nova! This wasn't supposed to happen. This was all my fault!”Xenia found herself drifting between the tangible re
Lacey shook her head, trying to comprehend what Celia just said. She looked at Frieda, who was sharing the same shocked expression, but Jane didn’t look surprised at all. Jane glared at Celia, who kept her gaze on the floor. “Please tell me it’s not true,” Lacey pleaded with Celia. “Please tell me they forced you or threatened your life.”Celia looked up momentarily, catching the mixture of frustration and concern on Lacey's face. Her hands gripped the tray of food as she looked away. Before she could say anything, Rick walked up to Jane’s cell.“Let’s go,” he growled at Jane while opening the cell door, “and bring the other human too.”“Why? What are you going to do?”Rick stalked across the cell, grabbing Jane by the neck. “It doesn’t fucking matter. You are not in a position to ask questions. Do you understand?”When Jane didn’t answer fast enough, Rick tightened his grip around her neck until she nodded. He glanced over to Aidy and pointed towards the door. “Start moving, human,”
It felt like hours had passed since Lillian left the dungeons and during that time Lacey frantically reached out to Celia. Still, she felt nothing. Lacey wasn’t sure if that was a good or bad thing. Celia was all she had left of her family, especially with her brother James lost in the world. Her worrying was cut off by Aidy’s sobs and Carla’s growling at her in response. Secretly Lacey rather be tortured than listening to them.“She won’t hurt Celia,” Jane said to Lacey. “She’s on their side. I’ve seen it.”This wasn’t the first time Jane brought this up. The moment they were moved to the dungeons Jane noticed Celia was nowhere to be found. It was surprising since Celia was always there to save Lacey if given the chance.“You lie,” Lacey exclaimed. “You don’t know that.”Jane snorted. “Oh, believe me. I do.”Lacey narrowed her eyes at Jane but something on Jane’s face made Lacey believe Jane knew something about Celia she didn’t. “Well, Lillian is as crazy as they come and she probab
