LOGINLEVI'S POVThe interview continued for only a few more seconds before the station cut back to the newscaster.I didn't wait to hear another word. I shoved my chair back so abruptly that it scraped loudly against the floor as I shot to my feet, my pulse pounding so violently that it drowned out every other sound in the room.Without wasting another second, I turned off the TV and reached for my phone, my thumb flying across the screen as I called Theo. He answered before the first ring had barely finished."Theo, listen to me," I snapped, my heart hammering against my ribs as I fought to keep the frantic edge out of my voice."I need you to deploy men to the media house immediately to get that Dagon."There wasn't a moment's hesitation from Theo."I'm on it."The call ended, but it did nothing to quiet the storm raging inside my head. My thoughts refused to slow down, each one crashing into the next as I desperately tried to calculate the damage that had just been done.How?How had he
BROOK'S POVIt had been a couple of weeks since the old man had appeared at the palace, placed the pendant in my hands, and died almost immediately afterward.For days, it had been all anyone could talk about. Every news outlet had broadcasted the incident, social media had been flooded with theories and speculation, and people seemed determined to come up with an explanation for something none of them had actually witnessed.Eventually, like every other sensational story, the excitement faded. The endless discussions disappeared, people found something else to occupy their attention, and life gradually returned to normal.The palace no longer felt like it was under constant scrutiny, and for the first time in weeks, there was a sense of quiet that had been missing ever since the old man arrived.Part of me wanted to let the whole thing go too.Levi had done everything he could to reassure me. Every time I brought up the pendant or the White Wolves, he kept on reminding me not to let
He was one of the last remaining survivors of the White Wolves after Kieran wiped them all out.His name is Dagon.Unlike any other wolves that had ever existed. The gifts of the white wolves had always set them apart, making them both feared and revered.Among their strangest gifts was one that no one had ever known about.The White Wolves possessed an ability that no other wolf had. The ability to enter an extremely deep slumber whenever death became unavoidable.Once they entered that state, every sign of life disappeared from their bodies. Their hearts stopped beating, their breathing ceased, and their bodies became completely still. To anyone looking at them, they were dead.And they could remain that way for centuries.Time meant nothing during that endless sleep. Days became years, years became decades, and decades became centuries, and they would remain trapped in that endless sleep.That gift had become the only reason the White Wolves still existed and Dagon was living proo
BROOK'S POVLevi's mouth left my lips and trailed lower, his lips leaving a wet, hot path down the side of my neck. His teeth grazed the sensitive skin between my neck and my shoulder, sending a shiver racing down my spine.A small, involuntary gasp escaped my throat and instantly a flood of liquid heat pooled low in my belly.Tension melted out of my muscles as I leaned back into him, my head falling back to expose more of my throat."That's it," he muttered, breaking the kiss only to push me onto my back. He loomed over me, his knees pushing my thighs apart."Let me fuck that worry right out of you."His eyes were dark, dilated with a hunger that matched the ache already between my legs. He hooked his fingers into the waistband of my shorts and yanked them down, taking my panties with them in one rough motion.The cool air hit my exposed skin, but it was gone a second later when he lowered his head. His mouth found my inner thigh, kissing and biting his way up. I squirmed, my breat
BROOK'S POVThe blood drained from my face. For one terrifying moment, my heart stopped beating altogether.Did she hear me?My mind raced through the last few minutes, trying to remember how much I had said. Every horrible possibility flashed through my head at once, each one ending the same way.I turned toward the doorway, my pulse pounding so loudly in my ears that it drowned out every other sound.Brooks looked from me to Theo before a look of pleasant surprise spread across her face. Her lips curved into a warm smile."Theo."She took a few more steps into the room, stopping a short distance from him as she looked him over."I didn't know you were back. How have you been?"Theo's lips twitched into a smile of his own. It was much smaller, but it was genuine all the same."I've been alright."Brooks tilted her head slightly, her eyes lingering on him for a second longer as though deciding whether she believed him. A faint smile tugged at her lips."You don't exactly look 'alright
LEVI'S POVFor a brief second, I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me."Theo?"He stepped fully into the room before quietly closing the door behind him, and I found myself staring at him in silence.Of all the people I had expected to see that day, he wasn't one of them. Not after everything that had happened.The last time we had spoken, I had given him an indefinite leave from his duties. It hadn't been an easy decision, but it was one I had never questioned.I didn't want him anywhere near the palace while he was carrying the crushing weight of Sera's death.There were wounds that couldn't be healed by burying yourself in work, and I knew him well enough to understand that returning to his responsibilities before facing his grief would only make things worse.I had hoped the time away would give him the space he needed to mourn properly, even if I doubted he ever truly would.As I looked at him more carefully, I realized he had changed.His clothes hung more loosely on him th
BROOKS I never thought my fantasy could come true, but as Levi kissed me with all that desperation and hunger that threatened to consume me alive, I realized that this was really happening. “Fuck, Brooks,” he groaned into my mouth. I couldn't believe how utterly sinful and addictive he sounded, “
Brooks Girls like me shouldn't want boys like Levi Hawthorne. He was the alpha prince, the most popular boy in school whose name was on the lips of every single girl. I was the wolfless omega, the orphan who only got to breathe in the same air with him because of a welfare scholarship. But stil
29BROOK'S POV I squeezed my eyes shut, trying to physically block out the sensations I was feeling. But it was a futile effort. The darkness behind my eyelids didn’t help. It only amplified the phantom feelings of his dark eyes boring into my skin. My heart hammered against my ribs, a frantic rh
BROOKS POV The palace was very grand.That was the first thing that hit me the moment we stepped in, and it didn’t ease even after hours of being there. Everything was big, polished, and perfect. The floors gleamed like they had never seen dirt, the walls stretched higher than anything, and every
