LOGINAlexandra POV“Hey, Azeal and I are going out. Do you want to come?” Emmie asked; she popped into my room wearing a fabulous red dress that showed off her lovely legs.“What?” Azeal asked from behind her.She turned to him. “I’m not going to let her spend the night alone!”“Why not?”I chuckled and shut my textbook. “You guys go ahead. I’ve got a lot of schoolwork to catch up on. At least I can still look forward to graduating.”Emmie frowned. “School work on a Friday night? No, Alex. Come with us. You need fresh air. This isn’t good for you.”“I’m not going to crash your date night. I’ll be fine…” Even though I’m far from fine.I can’t get him out of my head.“Leave Alex alone, Emmie. I got good seats to the show, and I don’t want them to be snatched up.”Emmie glared at Azeal.“She’s going through a lot right now!” She scolded.Azeal sighed. “You’re right. I’m being insensitive, but it’s all going to be fine when you confront Enzo at the Supreme Court’s ball.”I fought the urge to c
Enzo POV“The last few days have been perfect, Enzo. The pack’s running smoothly, and the Shifter region is in perfect harmony,” my mother said.My daughter smiled on the couch in the corner. “Absolutely great, but can you reduce my workload? I’ve got a social life too dad.”“Now, Faye, you wanted that title, and now you have it,” my ex said.“There’s always room to make changes mom,” Faye replied with amusement that made my skin crawl.I can’t believe I let these three women control me like a puppet, and my mother was the mastermind behind this.“Let’s talk about the ball, the Supreme Council’s ball for Nova this upcoming weekend. We’re all expected to attend, especially you, Enzo.”I snorted. “I don’t do balls.”“Oh, this time you will. You need to get to know Nova. I’m in talks with her council for a very powerful political alliance that will strengthen both our packs, especially after the fiasco we all survived.”The fiasco they helped create? A betrayed wolf was just as bad as a
Alexandra POV“Get out of bed, Alexandra! We have school and internships this week.” Emmie tugged at my blanket, but I held onto it for dear life.“Leave me alone.”“You have such a tight grip! Get out of bed, Alex.”Emmie dropped the blanket and planted her hands on her hips. She puffed out her cheeks and groaned.“Do I have to beg for you to get out of bed? You’re stronger than me now I can’t drag you out.”“Just leave me here to rot,” I mumbled.It’s been three days since I left the hospital. Three agonising days since my mate walked out of the hospital and never came back. He didn’t call me or text me. He put up a wall between us! I haven’t heard from him or seen him.I couldn’t go to his pack because his mother banished me when she was Luna. The second I got onto his land the beta army would know and they could kil
Alexandra POVThe beeping sound was like a poker constantly touching my eardrum.I groaned.“You’re awake, sweetheart. Don’t move, babe.”A smile crept on my face. I opened my eyes to see the person I wanted to see the most. He got up from the couch and fiddled with my blanket.“Hey,” my voice cracked. “You’re here.”“I never left. I needed to see you when you opened your eyes, my love. I love you so much, cub. You scared the shit out of me.”He placed his palm against my cheek and stroked. I smiled and leaned into his touch. It felt like heaven. My body felt like I’d been pounded on repeatedly for hours. I had a needle stuck in my arm, which was hooked up to an IV machine. My lips were dry, and my mouth felt like the desert.“Water,” I rasped.Enzo nodded. “Yeah. Hold still.”He sat on the edge of the bed and raised my head as he brought a glass of water to my lips.“You’ve been asleep for over twelve hours, cub.”I chuckled. “You’re the only one I need calling me cub.”Sadness came
Alexandra POV“Ah!” Scott cried out when my claws connected with his face.Blood flooded his face from three angry gashes.Alec grabbed my shoulders and hurled me to the middle of the room.“Stop this, Alexandra. You don’t want to fight us. You can’t fight the whole pack!”He was right, but I could escape.I crawled to the bed and yanked on the foot of the bed. Alec grabbed my leg while I held on tightly to the leg of the bed. He raised me off the ground, but I used my wolf strength to hold on, and hopefully it broke off.“You’re making this difficult, Alexandra!” Alec roared.“I’m going to kill her myself!” Scott roared.“Come on, Blanca,” I pleaded.She came to the surface full force and helped me rip the bed leg from the bed. I kicked Alec in the gut. He stepped back, but barely felt any pain.I jumped to my feet and swung with all my might. Alec barely saw it coming when the piece of wood hit him in the face and sent him to the ground.Scott stared in shock.Alec didn’t move or tw
Alexandra POV“Before you leave, strip her naked,” Alec ordered.My eyes turned as wide as saucers.“Get away from me!” I screeched.I bolted off the bed, but I was pinned back down by the surprisingly strong elderly woman. Three of them pounced on me and clawed at my clothes.“You’re all crazy! Get off me.”I stuck out a leg and caught one of them in the stomach.“Ouch!” She cried.“No,” I cried out.One woman pulled out a pocket knife. The blade shone under the overhead bulb.“Be careful,” Alec warned. “You blood thirsty bitches.”I froze, which gave them the upper hand they needed. The three women pinned me to the mattress. The knife came down and sliced into my jeans. I bit my tongue as the knife cut my thigh too.“Good,” Alec said.My clothes were in pieces on the ground while I lay on the bed totally nude.“Get out. Prepare for the ritual,” Alec ordered.“Yes, Alpha,” the woman said, bowing.They turned around without a second glance at me. The door slammed behind them. I sat up
Alexandra POV“Are you going to tell me why you were worried last night?” I asked Enzo.He was stressed about leaving the River pack before sunrise because he worried about what it would look like in the Onyx pack when his pack members found out he hadn’t spent the night in another pack.“I don’t w
Enzo POV“Do you have a problem with trees, Enzo?” Alex demanded.She was right on my tail as I marched out of my house. A fifteen-foot-tall tree fell over my truck. Fuck, that thing wasn’t even a year old.“That’s ruined,” I mumbled.“I’m sorry, babe.”She wrapped her arms around mine. I looked do
Alexandra POV“You’re glowing, you know that?” Emmie said.“Shh! Why did I call you again?”“I need all the juicy details about sex with the Supreme Alpha.”“Ugh!”Emmie offered to help me work Ellis’s ball because the sex toy business was slow in the Golden Paw pack. I really thought it was going
Alex POVHer smile was suspicious, and coming up to me as if we were friends was an even bigger red flag.“Sure… I have a few seconds to spare.”“Reynolds can see you’re with me. He wouldn’t interrupt us.”I nodded. “Alright, what do you want?” My heart hammered hard against my chest, making my che
