LOGINCaroline:~~~âYâyouâŠâ I stutter, unable to believe my eyes as I look at the familiar muscular frame of the man who's in the right place but looks like an outsider, leaning imposingly against the Jeep.His black shirt strains against his bulging arm muscles, with one hand casually tucked into his pocket, a few buttons undone, showing his tattoos on his broad chestâin actual words, those tattoos that represent his strong lycanâand his black hat that obscures almost half of his face.Goddess⊠Did he perhaps regain his memory? Why was he here? My thoughts raced wildly.Then he casts me a smirk, one that makes my heart somersault, and butterflies chase each other in my stomach.âFancy seeing you again, Alpha.â He whispers in his deep, raspy voice, holding his hat to his chest.âTrevâŠâ I open my mouth, but he speaks, interrupting me.âDid you receive the letter?â he questions, straightening up from the car, and my cheeks get hotter as the realization dawns on me, leaving me feeling happy y
~**~Valerie takes her seat on the sofa, and I sit behind my desk.âTell me what happened; you were there when I regained consciousness. I also need to know where my mate and pups are buried.ââDarius, in truth, you didn't have an accident. You transformed into your lycan when a deranged rogue tried to harm me. I was shocked to discover that you had lost your memory once you woke up,â she explains.And as I listen to her, blurry glimpses of a man with long hair, scars, and vulgar laughter holding a dark-haired woman who had her head lowered hostage with his elongated claws at her neck and threatening to kill her.I can feel my emotions at that moment towards that woman, and Valerie says she's that person.Does that mean I had loved Valerie that much before I lost my memory? But now I really don't feel a thing for her. I also remember an intense, unbearable pain tearing through me at that moment; could that be when I transformed?âWhere did I bury my mate and pups?â I ask instead. It'
King Darius:~~~âSomething is amiss with her,â my lycan, Thorne, says as we look at Alpha Caroline crying. âI don't think she's acting,â he adds, and I put my hand inside my pocket, fisting tightly as I waited for the elevator doors to close.However, before it closes, I see her open her mouth, as if what she's about to say is important, but the damn door slid closed before I could get a word.I stand there torn between my emotionsâconfusing emotions.What is it about her? All the girls who throw themselves at me suffer my wrath, but this woman, this beautiful woman who's already mated to two, keeps invading my thoughts.I'm possessive over her. I want her. Even more, after having a taste of her, her unique scent of rose and coffee that seems to keep me wide awake.I was wrong.I shouldn't have rejected her like that; maybe I knew her before the accident. She had looked sincere when she asked me if I didn't remember her; I was stupid not to notice.I need to fucking go see her and li
Caroline:~~~I'm someone who easily forgets faces, but not this face. Thanks to him and his assailants, my life had taken a wrong turn. I even thought I lost the man I loved.But he's been beside him since I arrived.I've been too overwhelmed with emotions seeing my mate alive, so I didn't pay much attention to his presence.But hearing his voice, that same voice he had used to taunt me six months ago speak, I'm sure, more than ever, it's him.âAlpha Caroline of the Crimson Shadow pack, please come with me.â he requests, and with a deadly glare that I'm sure could cut through steel directed at him, I rise to my feet and exclaim."You!... you are one of those who kidnapped me."His eyes widen for a brief second with shock, but it's quickly replaced by obliviousness.Damn, heâs very good.He looks behind him like I'm speaking to someone behind him, like I don't know what I'm saying.I roll my eyes and stop in front of him. To hell if he's a lycan; I will fight him if that's how I can g
King Darius frowns when Caroline runs into him and hugs him tightly.Maybe he's been wrong about her; all women are the same when they see you have power?For goddess' sake, she has mates and children, yet she throws herself at him.So all that happened back at his home; she knew he was inside the car.It was her plan all along, and he had fallen for it.Months without sex can do that to him.âI love you so much,â she says, surprising King Darius. It seems this is her way of making him accept her appeal. He thought.Fine, he wants to see how far she would go for it.And she showed him just how far.She cradles his face and kisses him passionately like it wasn't the first.King Darius wanted her to finish, and then he would push her away like the tramp she is.But her taste, her trembling lips moving against his, her petite body that feels right against his, and her scentâthey all feel familiar.So, before he can stop himself, his hands involuntarily move, one wrapping around her waist
âOh goddess!â Caroline exclaims, her tears falling as she begins to run forward. Could she have been by her Trevor's side all this while? Those golden eyes last night⊠They had looked so familiar. My Trevor. Oh, goddess. My mate⊠Is he really aliveâŠ? Caroline runs forward, though filled with uncertainty; she persists, praying to the moon goddess that her hopes won't be shattered. ~~~ On the second floor, inside King Darius' office. King Darius had finished his meeting with an alpha; feeling the urge to turn, he looked behind to see Mr. Moore opening the car door for Caroline. He rises up and positions himself in front of the glass wall and watches as they approach the entrance and engage in a conversation. Caroline looks up, her eyes accurately landing on him, but he knew she couldn't see him. But then they stopped, facing each other as they spoke, seemingly in an argument. So frustrating his office was soundproof; he couldn't listen in on their argument. He thought, a wic

âWhat? No!âThe word bursts out of me as I yank my hands away from Dadâs. âNo. You cannot send me away.âDad nods slowly, like he already knew I would react like this.âYou will be safe there. You will be away from all this. Away from trouble. Away from the rumors.ââNo,â I choke out. âNo. You cann
Angela:~~~The familiar scenery of home greets me the moment our car crosses the barrier, but it doesnât bring comfort; it feels heavier, almost suffocating, and something inside me tightens.Maybe itâs the shift in air, or the familiar pack magic brushing over my skin⊠Or maybe itâs the weight of
Angela: ~~~ âHow could you! How could you sleep with your own brother?!â Her words punch straight into my chest, knocking the air out of me. My heart stops as my knees weaken. My phone slips from my hand and falls to the floor, but the sound is nothing compared to the loud pounding in my ears.
