MasukAlex POV“No!” I yelled.I raised my arm but the arrow in my chest made my body cry out in pain.He raised his axe, but slammed it into his palm. He shifted on the spot, panting like a wild animal.“Who are you?” He demanded.“What?”“You look like her,” he said.“Who?”“Peggie.”Who’s Peggie? The words were on the tip of my tongue, but Enzo’s wolf jumped in front of me and shifted out of his wolf skin.He towered over the human and snatched the axe out of his grip and slammed it into the tree.The human didn’t back down. He looked like a man who’d seen worse than the eyes of a beast.“Get out,” Enzo growled.“I’m not scared of you. You ruined my wife!”“I won’t let you kill mine.”Surprise flickered in the human’s brown eyes. He glanced at me before turning to the impending threat.“Get your friends and leave my forest. You don’t know what I’m capable of doing to protect my mate.”Blood drenched my chest and dripped onto the forest floor. I winced as the silver burned inside. It felt
Alexandra POVSteam poured into the room as Enzo stepped out of the shower. I sat on the window bench staring at the waxing moon. A thousand thoughts ruled my mind.“Still thinking, cub?”I offered him a smile. “The moon looks so beautiful tonight. It’s so bright.”“That’s because it’s the beginning of a special moon. The winter harvest moon.”He settled on the bench next to me, dripping wet and wonderfully naked. Heat rushed to my cheeks, but I tried my hardest not to show him I was checking him out.Which was pointless with your mate. He could smell the desire on me.“You’re anxious, cub.”He ran his hand down my thigh.“What are you worried about, sweetheart?”“Enzo, how can I not be worried when the humans are attacking wolves, and I find it difficult not to understand them?”“Because Faye terrorised you too?”Sure, there is that, but that’s not the major reason.“No, it’s because I feel human. It’s so confusing because all my life I wanted to get my wolf and fit in! Now, I sudden
Alexandra 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 POVI rolled up my sleeve after giving a fresh batch of bloodwork. Enzo paid the doctor to be discreet. This visit was not to reach the Supreme Court. We were given a small private room for the tests.“The results will be out tomorrow, Alpha,” the doctor said.Enzo nodded. “Call me immedia
Alexandra POVA white wolf with sea-blue eyes flickered in my mind’s eye. My wolf! She was my wolf.“Hell no,” Faye growled.She was majestic and serene, but most of all, she was huge like an Alpha female. The disconnect between us was like trying to speak to someone two towns over, trying to use a
Enzo POV “Enzo, I didn’t attack her!”I shoved my palms into my palms. “She needed stitches and has a nose fracture.”“I-I didn’t start it. She saw the bracelet and— Wait, my bracelet. I don’t have it.” She patted her blanket and sheets, but came up empty.My fingers curled around the cool metal.
Enzo POV“I don’t understand you, Enzo. What’s going on? Her own pack has no hope in her. Have her taken to the dungeon,” Cindi said.I clenched my jaw. That’s not happening“Listen, guys, I need you to head back to the pack house. We can’t all be here at the same time. We still have visitors from
