LOGINEnzo POV“Dad!” Faye screeched. “What are you doing here? With her!” Faye pointed at my mate.My wolf was on the edge of my skin, and my temper was a millisecond away from exploding. If it weren’t for my mate holding me back, I would have ripped Nash to pieces.“Let me get this straight,” I said through gritted teeth.I disregarded Faye’s comments.I pointed my finger at Nash. His jaw was clenched, and his chin raised.“Tell me you’re a changeling. A fucking doppelganger, but you’re not the guy I grew up with.”“You’ve got no right to lecture me,” Nash hissed.Oh, shit. He’s real, which means I have to punch him.“How old is Alexandra?” Nash barked.“Alexandra isn’t my best friend’s daughter!” I shouted.“Enzo,” Alexandra whimpered.“No, I’m going to kill him. How long has this been going on?” I demanded.Faye’s cheeks turned bright crimson. Suddenly, all her bravado was gone, and she wasn’t the badass who threatened to kill my mate with her new heightened abilities.“How long?!” I be
Enzo POVSomething’s wrong. I couldn’t shake the feeling that something was wrong with my mate. Now, if something happened to her, Dustin was responsible because he told me he was going to pick her up half an hour ago.We agreed to meet outside the west border of the Onyx pack. We had a few dungeons out here reserved for the worst criminals.My phone rang in my back pocket. Must be Dustin, but I was surprised when I saw the caller ID. It was Jarek. The new pack representative to the Supreme Council.“What’s going on, Jarek?” I answered the phone.“I’m surprised the news hadn’t reached you. I think your mother tried to squash it before it got to you.”“What now?” I groaned. “Spit it out.”“Alpha Xavier’s been charged with misconduct. You need to be there.”I chuckled. “Why do I need to be there? He’s just going to beat the charges anyway.”Jarek sighed heavily. “Are you alone?”“Why?”“Because the last time you broke into a fit of jealousy, you nearly threw a table out of the window. I
Alexandra POVI’d been up all night searching for Blaze, Cindi and Nash. It really was like they vanished because we searched the entire dark forest and they weren’t there. Could Celeste be so evil as to hide them in the Shadow Mist pack?A sharp clap jolted me out of my sleep. I sat up instantly. I’d fallen asleep on the couch this morning. Dustin and I only ended our search at two in the morning when we found nothing to help us. Not even a clue to nudge us in the right direction!It wasn’t over, though. We planned to meet up again. There had to be something we were missing. I highly doubted Celeste would be dumb enough to hide five incredibly strong wolves in the Onyx pack. Dustin was going to pick me up tonight at the university after studying.I gasped.Ellis raised a brow at me. “What’s that?”“Huh?” I rubbed my eyes.She pointed at the raised skin on my arm. I groaned. “Xavier marked me with his venom! Psycho.”Ellis shook her head and tsked. “When did this happen?”“Two weeks a
Enzo POVDustin told me he had a sidekick with him last night who helped him search the Alavander forests last night. A sidekick I told to go home!She insisted on helping us find Blaze and the others.A part of me was jealous because Dustin spent the night with my mate while I was here doing damage control.I wasn’t thinking straight. I was smoking cigarettes in the living room because there was so much on my mind. If Alexandra was showing signs of wolf sickness, then I had to move quickly. Wolf sickness was deadly. She's still a new wolf; despite her strength, she might not navigate this well. A knock came at the door. I cursed; it wasn’t even ten AM yet, and I was in no mood for visitors.I yanked the door open, and Azeal strolled inside as if he lived here, too.“Cigarettes, really?” Azeal asked as he flopped on the couch.“I needed something stronger than alcohol to take the edge off.”He chuckled. “Wasn’t last night enough? I saw what you did to the dress I bought Alex.”I grou
Alexandra POV“He told you about me?” I asked.Luna Sapphire didn’t bat a lash. “I found out.”“You’re the reason my father was killed,” Nova spat.“Whoa, that’s a stretch. I didn’t even know Veron was a white wolf or that he’d been captured,” I argued.Nova marched forward, but Enzo came between us.“Hey, relax. Alex didn’t kill your father,” Enzo said firmly.“She’s the reason he’s gone! My mother’s so heartbroken that she can’t lead the pack anymore. I’m being forced to become Luna before I’m ready!” Nova yelled, the frustration strained her voice.“That’s not my problem, Nova,” I said, squeezing around Enzo.He placed a protective hand around my waist just to make it clear to the onlookers that I was his. The hickey that was quickly developing on my neck would scream Enzo branded me.“How can you say that?!” Nova blasted.Okay, maybe my words didn’t come out the way I intended.“I mean, I didn’t cause what happened. Alec is to blame for all of this, but he’s gone now. It’s time to
Alexandra POV“Stop!” I yelled.He stopped just two feet from us. He balled his hands into iron fists and ground his teeth to the point of scraping off a layer.“You’re crazy if you think you can leave a vacant spot and another male wouldn’t want to take it up. Just look at her!”Azeal slapped a hand on my hip.Geez, I’m trying to save him here!“I’m going to kill you!” Enzo roared.I ran out of Azeal’s grip and slammed my palms into Enzo’s chest to keep him from doing something awful.“He’s helping me!” I shouted.“Helping you? Ugh, Alexandra! Yesterday it was another male, and today it’s Azeal. What are you trying to do to me?”I frowned. “How do you know I was with another male yesterday?”“I’m your fated mate! I felt the presence of another wolf with my mate!”“Oh, fuck off, Enzo. I’m always around her. You sensed another male,” Azeal snapped.“There’s no reason for you to be around a mated she-wolf. Are you insane?” Enzo demanded.“Is she your mate? She looks pretty single to me,
Alexandra POV“Get in the car, let me take you back to the Golden Paw pack,” Ellis offered.I folded my arms and stared at the temple. Going into a house about to collapse from the wind was a bad idea, but it called to me. Like a sinister whisper. “I don’t want to,” I said.“There’s nothing here,
Alexandra POV“Can you come up with a reason they sealed it? Because the only thing I have in mind is just cruelty against an innocent half-human girl.”“Doesn’t sound good enough, cub.”“Sometimes, there doesn’t have to be this huge theory, Enzo!”He chuckled, but this wasn’t a laughing matter. I’
Alexandra POV“Gross! Ew,” I hissed as I stepped over soggy cardboards and moss-covered parts of wood.The basement was bigger than I remembered it. I last crawled out of the basement window when I was seventeen, and Ellis wouldn’t let me go out with Emmie to have burgers.Now this place was filled
Alexandra POVDr Zaya made me drink the gross substance anyway. It helped to reduce the pain, but the dull ache was still there. Enzo moved me to his bedroom while he spoke to Cindi, Alex and Dr Zaya.All I’d wanted since I got to the Onyx pack was a warm bed and my mate beside me. Now I couldn’t e
