LOGIN~AMARISThe heavy double doors of the living room swung shut behind them, cutting off the crisp morning breeze and sealing the five of us inside a suffocating, static silence. I stood perfectly rigid against the dark mahogany liquor shelf, my knuckles turning bloodless around the neck of the heavy alcohol bottle, my breath catching in my dry throat as the scene began to unfold right before my eyes.Maya, Chloe, and Celeste stood near the entryway, their designer bags slung over their arms. But their initial, superficial smiles died completely the moment they took in the rigid, feral posture of their princess.Chloe, her piercing green eyes narrowing with a sharp, intuitive focus, took a slow step forward. She took in the unusual, deeply gloomy look shadowing Ember’s face…the raw, puffy lines around her eyes that spoke of a night spent drowning in devastating tears."Ember?" Chloe asked, her voice dropping its melodic bounce, carrying a sudden, serious undertone. "What's wrong? What's
~AMARISThe heavy, toxic venom of their words didn't just linger in the crisp morning air, it systematically tore through the remaining fragments of my sanity. I stood perfectly rigid beside the garden trellis, my fingers digging so hard into the rough wood that a splinter pierced the pad of my thumb, but I couldn't feel it.I forced my jaw to lock, swallowing the bitter, burning tears that threatened to spill over my lashes, keeping my eyes fixed entirely on a single, pale petal until the two omegas finally finished their whispered gossip. They casually adjusted their cleaning cloths, entirely unbothered, and retired back to their duties down the winding stone pathway.The moment their footsteps faded completely into the distance, the fragile wall of my composure turned to absolute dust.My knees gave out, and I sank onto the damp grass behind the hedge, a heavy, broken sob finally tearing its way through my chest lines. I frantically cupped both of my hands over my mouth, pressing m
~AMARISI didn't step a single foot outside the heavy mahogany double doors of the master suite throughout the rest of that day.The fortress around us had remained in a state of suffocating lockdown, the distant, muffled shouting of pack guards and the occasional heavy rumble of vehicles echoing from the lower courtyards. But inside the sanctuary of the bedroom, Alpha Varg had built a silent, defensive wall against the chaos.He had made sure the pack nurse returned under heavy guard to deliver the proper antiseptic treatment for my torn scalp, and he personally ensured that every single meal throughout the rest of that day was delivered to my bedside exactly on time. He had watched over me like a dark, possessive shadow, his massive frame shielding my weak body from the political firestorm he had provoked downstairs.But the stolen peace of the night couldn't freeze the terminal clock winding down in my chest lines.The next morning, the fragile illusion of safety completely shatter
~AMARISThe blinding light of the fireplace didn't bring any warmth, it felt like a wall of roaring, dangerous flames trapping me in the dark.I was backed against the headboard of Alpha Varg’s massive canopy bed, the clean white bandage gauze around my head throbbing with a sharp, heavy pain.Suddenly, the heavy mahogany double doors of the master suite didn't just slide open…they were violently shattered off their hinges. Ember broke into the room. She was completely unraveled, her face swollen, but her eyes weren't crying anymore. They were burning with a terrifying, wild rage that looked entirely monstrous. In her right hand, a long, silver-tipped combat knife caught the flickering glare of the hearth, the sharp blade gleaming with a lethal promise.My eyes widened in pure, unadulterated horror. My vocal cords were completely frozen, the dry sand of the Silver Decay clogging my throat as I tried to scream for Commander Kael or the guards outside.Before I could even attempt to t
~VARGThe echo of the heavy cedar doors slamming shut behind me was the last normal sound to grace the grand council chamber.I stood in the center of the vast, circular room, the freezing draft from the high slit windows whipping against my collar, carrying the bitter scent of pine and impending ruin. The seven elder alphas sat arranged in a rigid crescent before me, their ancient leather coats draped over the high backs of their mahogany thrones like shrouds.These were the men who had spent their entire lives treating our pack heritage as an absolute religion, prioritizing the ledger lines of ancient laws over the beating hearts of their own bloodlines.The air in the chamber was already thick, saturated with a heavy, suffocating static as the chief elder raised his iron gavel. He didn't strike the wood, he merely held it steady, his blind white eyes staring straight through my soul with an unyielding, clinical severity that demanded an execution of the law."Alpha Varg," the old m
~VARGThe realization that my own blood had pulled the pin on my house didn't make me panic. It froze the remaining heat in my veins into an unyielding, lethal armor.I spun away from the grand floor-to-ceiling windows, my combat boots silent against the floor as I strode toward the mahogany nightstand. I grabbed the sleek plastic receiver of the internal intercom, dialed the private security frequency, and slammed the button down."Standby by the western arch," I yelled into the speaker, my voice a low, gravelly snap that left absolutely no room for hesitation. "Send Commander Kael and Lieutenant Jaxon to my master suite immediately. Fully armed. Double the watch on the internal corridor. Move!"I slammed the receiver back onto its cradle, the plastic cracking slightly under the pressure of my scarred hand. I didn't wait for a confirmation. The elite guards of the Iron-Howl inner circle didn't ask questions when the Alpha king used that specific, militaristic tone, they simply moved.
~AmarisAs I lay on the bed again, everything that had happened replayed in my head like something I couldn’t control. The betrayal that led me here. The scent…that heavy, frostbitten pine that seemed to have claimed the very air of my room. The shadow. The hunger that left its mark on my pussy, li
~AmarisI had control over nothing…not the heat rushing between my thighs. Not the slick dripping out of my pussy. Not the desire simmering underneath my skin that left me gasping for breath.And definitely not the man who held me against the wall like I was a feather, watching me burn in his stare
~EMBER The heavy wood of my bedroom door slammed shut, the vibration rattling the glass vanity jars across the room. I hurled my designer heels furiously across the room, watching them thud heavily against the mattress alongside my discarded silk purse. “Finally!” I muttered, the word tasting lik
~AMARIS The blatant greed in his tone made my stomach twist into a hard knot of panic. Before I could call out to anyone nearby, he yanked me forward again, dragging me past the open doorway where Ember had passed through with those two massive Alphas flanking her. As we walked down the hallway,
