ISLA'S POV

Everyone else was looking at Cassius.

That was the natural direction of attention given everything the last week had produced — the name had arrived with enough weight behind it that it pulled focus the way significant things pull focus, and the people around Rowan who were paid to look at significant things were looking at it with the thoroughness it warranted. Tobias was working his intelligence contacts. Rowan's senior guard was running the known associations. The territorial map

    Tobias's povWe finally arrived at the pack house after driving for what felt like an eternity. I pulled my car into the massive stone courtyard and cut the engine, letting out a long breath as I leaned back against the seat.I looked over at Valerie, and I could instantly tell she was overwhelmed by the sheer scale of the palace. Her brown eyes were wide as she stared up at the place, and the rows of guards standing at attention along the main entrance.She gripped her seatbelt tightly, her knuckles turning a little bit white as her wolf instincts clearly went on the defensive."Hey," I said softly, reaching across the console to wrap my hand around her arm to ground her. "Relax. You're with me, remember? Nobody in this building is going to challenge you.""I'm fine, Tobias," she muttered, forcing her chin up and throwing me a sharp look even though her breathing was a little fast. "I'm the future Alpha of my pack. I don't get intimidated that easily.""Right," I smirked, opening my

    ValerieI shoved the last of my clothes into the bag and zipped it up tight. My hands would not stop shaking as I thought about what waited for us back at the central castle.Tobias moved around the room packing his own stuff with that calm way he always had.I kept telling myself this was just another trip, but my stomach twisted because I knew it was not. We were going so I could stand in front of Rowan and Mira and hand over the signed treaty like it was nothing. But it felt like everything.Tobias glanced over at me and smiled a little."You ready babe?" he asked.His voice sounded easy, but I could tell he already picked up on my nerves through the bond. I nodded fast even though my legs felt like jelly."Yeah I guess so," I said.Inside my head, though, the thoughts would not slow down.What if they looked at me like I did not belong there?What if my words came out all wrong and they saw me as some girl from the edges who got lucky?I hated how scared I felt about leaving my sa

    Side Story: Chapter 11ValerieTobias shut the door behind us and then he kissed me hard right away. I kissed him back and pushed him toward the bed because I needed to take control this time. My hands moved over his chest as I broke the kiss for a second."I want you so bad right now Tobias," I said.I felt the mate bond heat up between us and it made me bolder. Tobias looked at me with that hungry stare but he let me lead."Whatever you want, Val," he replied.I smiled because his words turned me on even more and I dropped to my knees in front of him. My fingers worked his pants open fast and I pulled him out as I looked up at him."You feel so good already," I told him. "I love how hard you get for me."Tobias groaned when I took him into my mouth and started sucking him off slow at first. I controlled the pace and used my hand along with my lips because I wanted to drive him crazy."Fuck Val that feels amazing," he said as he watched me. "You are so good at this."I kept going and

    Tobias's povExactly one week had passed since the massive explosion in the corridor, and I was finally back up on my feet. My body was still a little bit sore but my accelerated wolf healing had completely done its job.The deep gash in my side was mostly closed up now, leaving nothing but a faint pink line that twinged a little when I took a deep breath.I stood near the tall entryway of the grand hall, adjusting my tie and watching the heavy traffic of people moving into the room.The entire space looked completely different today compared to the bloody nightmare from last week. The maintenance crews had worked around the clock to clear away every single piece of broken stone, shattered glass, and burnt wood from the rubble.The high walls were freshly scrubbed, and a brand new polished wooden table sat right at the center of the stage, looking completely clean.The pack elders and warriors were assembled inside the room once again, filing into the rows of heavy chairs with quiet,

  • Mated To The Cursed Alpha    Side Story: Chapter 9

    Tobias's povA steady, annoying rhythmic sound was the very first thing that dragged me back into reality. I tried to move my fingers, but my entire upper body felt like it had been run over by a massive cargo truck.I blinked my eyes open slowly, the bright white fluorescent lights of the ceiling making my head throb with an intense pain. I looked down and saw that my chest and torso were completely wrapped in heavy white medical bandages.The room was totally quiet except for that electronic beep coming from the heart monitor standing right next to the mattress.I tried to shift my weight to get a better look at my surroundings, but a sharp jolt of agony in my right side made me let out a low groan."Tobias? Oh my god, Tobias, you are finally awake," a shaky, desperate voice whispered from the darkness to my right.I turned my head carefully on the stiff pillow and looked over toward the side of my hospital bed. Valerie was sitting right there in a small plastic chair, leaning forwa

    Tobias's povThe battle in the grand hall was finally reaching a completely dangerous climax.Valerie and I were moving like a single machine, hitting every target that came within an inch of our radius.We completely dismantled Eric's rogue squad, leaving his shooters groaning on the shattered stone floor one by one.The remaining loyal pack warriors were locking down the side doors, totally cutting off any chance of a rescue for the traitors.Eric looked around the room, his eyes wide with pure panic as he realized his little coup was failing miserably. All his men were completely down or disarmed, and his grand plan was entirely in tatters."This is not over," Eric screamed, his voice cracking as he backed away from the stage.Suddenly, he turned on his heel and bolted straight toward the narrow back exit of the hall. I knew exactly what was behind that door because we had mapped the blueprints out just hours ago.The eastern wing corridor led straight to the old storage rooms wher

    MIRAThe music was the worst part. It drifted up through the floorboards, a rhythmic thumping that felt like it was mocking my heartbeat.Laughter, shouting, the clinking of glasses. It was a party for a lie.I sat on the edge of my bed, my hands pressed so hard against my stomach that my knuckles

Or Isla coming back to finish her interrogation.But instead of the heavy click of the lock, I heard it. Tap. Tap-tap. Tap.The
