登入KNOX'S POV I stared at Ysoria's corpse and I couldn't stop the pain I felt inside. I knew how much she hated me and I probably did the same. But seeing laying motionless on the ground, seeing her in a different state wasn't all that. I never thought Ysoria's death or absence would cause me pain, but I guess I was wrong. I'd known her all my life and I guess I was a bit humane and this was to be expected. She couldn't even wait until we sent her son off, she couldn't even let him have a peaceful exit. She seemingly had to be dramatic about this as well. She was a cruel human, even till the end. I lowered myself to the ground, staring at her for a long while. I wanted to remember what she looked like at the end. Powerless. I didn't want to be haunted by her cruel life and actions, this was all to her. “You shouldn't stare at a corpse for too long.” I heard a voice. I slowly pulled my gaze to it, and it was Dax. He stood by the entrance to the iron dungeon, hands pressed in

SABLE'S POV I heard the chirping sound of birds from outside our window. I felt the reflection of the sun stab through my eye lid. Sharp, warm, yet comforting. And what was more comforting? It was laying beside Knox, feeling his arm wrap tightly against waist and listening to the rhythm of his breath. I smile tugged by the side of my lip as I grabbed onto Knox's hand. He was still asleep, fast asleep. And I would be damned for trying to ruin this. I let him be, gently tapping his palm while I enjoyed the morning. It felt like the perfect day. With every enemy gone, with no one condemning us for choosing each other and or course without fear of committing a crime. What better feeling than this?I sighed out loudly, shutting my eyes close and drifting back to sleep. But just minutes later, I heard a loud bang against our door. I jolted up, considering the knock had startled me a bit. It came on for the second time, and Knox sprang up on his feet as well. He stared at me wit
SABLE'S POV I stared at Ysoria as a sense of satisfaction flooded through me. I was glad I struck the right cord. Walking into the council hall and seeing Ysoria without an ounce of remorse hit me more than anything else. She had murdered her son, but she still didn't give a fuck. She'd stared at me and everyone present with a snare look. She'd spoken like she remained right and everyone was wrong. I didn't want her walking away without knowing just how u felt. And at the same time, I couldn't stand her calling me a whore just because I chose my mate over her son. I made my point, I left her in a state of defeat. I rubbed my stomach feeling the light kick from my pub. He was proud of us for doing the right thing. He was proud of us for not being murdered like Ysoria. We'd chosen the right path. Send her out of the pack to where she belonged, with the rogues. That was enough. “Well, I would have loved to let you all go on with your farewell speech, but we still got a few t
KNOX'S POV “You would be stripped of all your positions both in Black pine reach and in the shadow council.” Ysoria pulled her eyes up slowly upon hearing those words. Her eyes were filled with range, her palm quivered non-stop. “And you will leave this pack and never show face in any other pack that is under the control of the shadow council.” Dax walked closer to her, leaning forward as he stared into her face. “You know what that means right? You belong to the rogues.” He whispered. The room erupted in loud noise, everyone suddenly had something to say. Ysoria spat into Dax's face, wiggling her wrist to force herself free. “How dare you?” She barked. I watched Dax nonchalantly pull himself away from her, dipping his hands into his pocket and pulling out a handkerchief. “You decided to bring the rogues into your pack. Seems fair enough for you to go join them.” He said nonchalantly as he shrugged his shoulders. Ysoria let out a loud agonizing scream, stumping her feet into
KNOX'S POV It's been a week since the near death experience, since the death of Bryn and since Ysoria betrayed all of us. I was still finding it so hard to accept all of it, especially the fact that Bryn was gone and everyone was waiting on me to take his place.I didn't want to. I feared that becoming an Alpha would change me, I feared that I would become power tasty like everyone I'd seen take that seat.I feared that I would become a man Sable couldn't recognize. But I made sure no one noticed my fear – or so I thought. I stared into nothing as I wondered what lay ahead for me.It could either be good, or bad. But what if becoming the leader of Black pine reach brought me to an early end like everyone else. Like Bryn, like his father, like mine and so many others. It seemed like it never ended right. I didn't want to give Sable a life she would regret owning, a life that would ruin her just like it ruined everyone, it was a pretty hard decision to be made.Sable walked into
CHAPTER 4: ComplicationsSable's POVThe air vanished from my lungs the moment I met his eyes.. It wasn't just his size though he was enormous. It wasn't even the inhuman, gold-flecked glow in his eyes, though that was seriously freaky. It was the sheer crushing weight of his presence that hit me
~SableBefore I could even process the noise.. the room was full of them... large grim-faced men in suits that did nothing to hide their thick necks and rude attitudes.I gasped, scrambling upright and clutching the soft white sheet to my chest. It was the only thing between me and total nudity.“W
~SableUp close with the stranger, the shadows melted away and my bravado almost did too.Holy shit..!The man was… fucking handsome! Like, stop-your-heart-and-then-kick-it-into-overdrive handsome. He was older, maybe early forties with little crinkles at the corners of his eyes that suggested he’
~Sable“Sable! You get your scrawny ass back here, you little fucking shit! What the fuck are you up to now!”The scream rang far behind me into the night as I ran.The night was harshly cold with the cold air filling my lungs at every gasp but it was nothing compared to the sound of Corvin’s voice
