MasukAlexandra POV“Would you like me to tell her you’re not home?” Patrice asked.That would have been easier and nicer.I shook my head. “Send her to the drawing room.”Patrice nodded. “Yes, Luna.”I’d never gotten along with Faye’s friends. They were ruthless and cruel. My palms and pits sweat profusely as I make my way to the drawing room.I’m not the same anymore, though. I can fight her if she tries to kill me, and hopefully I’ll come out on top.I closed the double doors behind me and contemplated locking them, but that would be reckless.Sadie stood as soon as she saw me. She clutched her bag to her side. Her hair was damp, and her cheeks were red from something I couldn’t explain. Fear, embarrassment?“Sadie,” I said cautiously.“I’m sure you don’t understand why I’m here. I just had nowhere to go. Faye’s gone, Winter’s dead, and I have nowhere to turn to.”Winter was another one of their friends who died from the same catastrophic disease Faye had. The only thing that saved Faye
Alexandra POVEnzo climbed into the tub after me. The warm water and his body heat created a blend to tackle my nerves.“Are you sure nothing else happened in there, Alex?” Enzo asked, pouring water over my chest.“Nothing happened…” I mumbled.I hadn’t stopped thinking about Nova’s accusations. She would be back. If the attack was as bad as she states the supreme council would want to hold someone accountable.I was their only link to the human world. There are no humans in the shifter region.Enzo wrapped his arms around me and squeezed. “Something’s definitely bothering the Supreme Luna. You know that’s you right?”“I’m still human, Enzo.”“Fuck that.”He held me closer, his hand moving meticulously between breasts. He wasn’t taking this seriously!“If you’re worried some idiots going to try to kick you out because of what happened just know they’ll have to go through me, the Supreme Alpha.”He kissed my cheek and then dragged his tongue along my neck.“I’ll put bodies in the groun
Alexandra POV“I know when you and Enzo left for your getaway, I went MIA, but things were so difficult with my parents. Mom still won’t talk to me, and I think Dad’s banned from talking to me,” Emmie explained.As the party continued, it got colder. Unfortunately for me, no amount of dancing could warm me up, so Emmie and I retreated into the house.“I understand. You needed space.”“I needed to snoop and come up with the truth!”I narrowed my eyes at her teasingly. “Did you snoop Azeal’s ass too?”Her cheeks turned cherry red. “No! What? He’s an Alpha, remember? I’m an omega who was probably cursed for her mother’s sins.”“That’s ridiculous. Have you seen the way he looks at you? He’s probably searching you right now.”She lifted her lips to her nose and made a dismissive noise.“It’s not like he can’t smell me. He could find me if he wanted to. Anyway, I found my mother’s journal from ten years ago.”“I doubt she would have written about your bio dad ten years after she gave birth.
Enzo POVWhile the music played in the background and the laughter grew even higher than the trees, I wandered into the forest.I quickly regretted leaving my mate and beautiful bride at the party and following my half-brother because there he was with his hands on Cindi’s face while he tried to swallow her.“Oh, crap.”Blaze and Cindi broke their kiss.Blaze flashed his eyes and growled at me.I sucked in my bottom lip to hide my smile. I raised my hands and head in surrender. I didn’t want his mate. Wolves were very protective, especially of their mates. Blaze had experienced just how jealous and overprotective I was of Alex firsthand.“I’ll find you back at the party,” Blaze said.“Fine.”Cindi walked up to me and fisted my shirt. “Don’t kill each other.”Any respect for the Alpha with these two?That’s what happens when you’ve known people as long as I’ve known them.Blaze shoved his fists into his pockets.“I let you have your mate, couldn’t let you have mine?” Blaze blasted.“I’
Alexandra POV“What the hell happened?”Enzo barged into the kitchen where I had my feet in a bucket of ice water. Blaze stood behind me while my best friend paced the length of the massive kitchen nervously.“Wolf’s bane? How could that happen?” Enzo demanded.“Your mother, that’s how,” Blaze grumbled. “She’s in pretty bad shape.”“Why?” Enzo clutched at his hair. “Why the hell would she do this of all days?!”“It’s my fault,” I mumbled.“Hey, why would you say that?” Blaze asked softly.“Yeah, cub, you didn’t make her try to kill you,” my mate added.“What if I wasn’t even the target, Enzo? Your mother suffered a lot, too, and she thinks I’m the catalyst for why she lost everything.”Enzo knelt in front of me and took my hands. “You are in no way to blame for my mother’s actions. Everyone can blame me if they want.”Tears sprang to my eyes. “Our only crime was loving each other, huh?”He brushed a tear from my cheek. “My beautiful mate, you’re in no shape for a mating ceremony.”“Wh
Alexandra POVThree Weeks Later I put down the makeup brush and stared at myself in the mirror.“Okay, so my mating ceremony’s today.”“You’re telling me! I can’t believe this day is finally here. Do you think you should pinch me?” Emmie shot up from the queen-size bed behind me.“You’re the one who’s supposed to pinch me!”“Sorry! It’s not like my best friend gets married every day.”Emmie went MIA before Enzo and left the pack for much-needed mate time. I understood my best friend’s need to get away, though. She’d just been told the man she loved with her entire being wasn’t her father, and her mother refused to entertain the topic.What more could a girl do other than escape her problems until they didn’t hurt so much?“Alex, I wish I could stay and watch you finish your make-up, but I have to make sure the guys aren’t getting drunk.”Heat rushed to my cheeks. “You think Enzo’s drunk?”Emmie’s eyes went wide. “No, no! That’s not what I mean. Don’t panic! Just stay here and finish
Alexandra POVThe hoodlum threw me into a guest room and shut the door. Inside were two other guards, a woman sat on the edge of the queen-size bed, my ex-boyfriend and Faye.I exhaled deeply.“What’s this about?” I demanded.Luna Eleanor dusted her wrist. “Straight to the point, I like that. You’r
Alexandra POVEmmie hadn’t stopped texting me about her encounter with Azeal. She went from furious to worried that he’d speak to her mother. She could handle a cocky mother, but a mother with high expectations and a sharp tongue was draining.She was still texting me when my shift ended. I welcome
Alexandra POV“Fuck, mate,” Enzo grunted.I sucked his entire length with slow and steady strokes. He was thick, which made it difficult for me to handle. Enzo reminded me to breathe when I had him between my lips. He was just as heavy as I thought he’d be.This wasn’t the silly dildo I had in my
Alexandra POV “Why do you trust him?” I asked softly.“I don’t. He’s got a skill that I value right now.”I nodded. I was eager to find out what he found out, and another part of me was scared. What were the odds that one of my biological parents was still living in the shifter region this whole t
