LOGINNyx"W—What?"I stuttered, certain I had heard wrong. But the intensity of his gaze told me I hadn't. Heat crept up my spine, and my legs suddenly felt like jelly.Kyrell stepped closer, his tousled hair falling across his forehead as he leaned over me, closing the little distance that remained between us.I was so lost in his eyes that I didn't notice him reach out to tuck my hair behind my ear until his fingers grazed my cheek and a spark shot through me."Let me kiss you." His voice, rough, almost pleading, sounded dangerously close to my ear.I was tempted to tell him to go to hell, to step back, because the faster I was able to get any word out, the less I would have to look into those eyes, drown in his scent, and the less I would have to come to terms with whatever was building between my thighs.Just as I opened my mouth to speak, Kyrell leaned closer, inhaled deeply, and gently cupped the side of my face, sending another wave of sparks through me."Please," he rasped, his dee
NyxThousands of explanations ran through my mind at once. I didn't know why I felt the need to explain myself to him, given that he hadn't even said a word to me.‘Girl, relax. He probably isn't as scary as he looks.’ Sometimes I forgot Hazel and I were practically one and we felt the same emotions.‘Well I doubt that,’ I replied.I clenched my fist tighter and opened my mouth to speak. “Sir, I…I was just—”“What's your name, child?” He interrupted, saving me from my stutter.That was not at all the question I had expected. “Hazel. I mean, Nyx.” Something about this man made me want to run the other way. He smelled like trouble. Literally.“You're very bold for an omega, Nyx.” There was a hint of surprise in his voice.I wasn't an omega. I was going to say that out loud, but then I realized I didn't even know what grade I was. All I knew was that I now had a wolf. A reality that I hadn't fully digested.“Why do you think so?” I couldn't help myself from asking. He studied me a moment
NyxI should have told the driver to take me back to my dorm, a cave or probably the bottom of the ocean. Anywhere but here. Thankfully, the driver didn't insist I get down after the car came to a stop.I had no idea how long I'd been sitting in the car, watching the packhouse through the tinted windows of the car.Outside, men were gathered near the entrance, their expressions carved from stone. They carried themselves with the kind of authority that made the air too heavy to breathe. Their suits spoke of money and power, but it was their alpha auras that cleared the way, pressing against the air like an invisible warning.I sank lower in my seat, hand tight around my phone, as events of the last few hours came crashing down on me.“Calix? What are you doing here?” I remembered the excitement in my voice when I had gotten down from the car. That was before one of the bodyguards cuffed my wrists behind my back.I watched as Calix, the boy I'd spent my entire life crushing on, faced th
Third person POVThere was silence for a second before everyone else stood up from their seats and walked out of the boardroom. Kyrell's eyes were glued to Gerald's, but he still said nothing.Gerald was a bit surprised by Kyrell's sudden change in attitude, but he refused to show it. The man was anything but constant with his moods, and Gerald had already guessed his reason for ending the meeting abruptly.Silence settled between them for a while before Gerald cleared his throat and spoke up. "Alpha Kyrell, care to tell me what this is about?" Gerald leaned into his seat."Let's cut to the chase," Kyrell started. "Why'd you do it?" Kyrell asked, even though he already knew the answer. He'd been holding off on slitting the older man's throat for a while now."I assure you, Alpha Kyrell, that my pack wasn't responsible for starting the rumour. Actually, I heard about it after arriving at the Quicksilver pack." Gerald stated, his voice filled with certainty."I don't care about some stu
Third person POVThe silence in the boardroom was almost suffocating, thick with tension and unspoken threats. Ten powerful men sat around the long mahogany table, each carrying themselves differently.Kyrell studied the look on their faces; some wore arrogance like a crown, their expressions hard and dismissive. Others shifted uncomfortably in their seats. But his attention was focused on the man seated across from him. Alpha Gerald seemed calm. Too calm for someone fidgeting at the beginning of the meeting.Kyrell sat back in his chair, relaxed, his fingers loosely intertwined as though he were watching a show rather than sitting in a room where fortunes, and perhaps lives, were on the line.The Alphas' summit wasn't supposed to drag on to today. Kyrell had moved the meeting forward in order to get it over with but a day couldn't contain the debates.“Like I said, Alpha Kyrell, the Mooncrest rogues have become increasingly difficult to deal with,” Alpha Jerome of the Greenvale pack
NyxThe air was thick with the smell of my own fear. The reflection in the mirror looked exactly like me: damp hair, towel wrapped around her chest, but her movements were completely different from mine.The mark on my neck gave a sharp tug as I placed my palm on it. Every instinct in my body told me to run, that it was just another nightmare. But this didn't feel like a nightmare; it felt like a memory.I did what any rational person would when they saw a contradicting image of themselves in the mirror. I approached it in slow steps, maintaining eye contact with the image. It was as if I was being compelled by the look on her face. She looked…hurt.I stretched out my hand, pointing my index to touch the mirror. She smiled again. This time I was sure this wasn't my imagination.“Who are you?” The fear that gripped me earlier transformed into something close to empathy.She opened her mouth to speak but nothing came out, as if her voice had been taken away from her.It may have been sh
Kyrell Third person povKyrell stood in front of the full length mirror in his walk-in closet buttoning up his shirt. The closet was probably the size of a standard bedroom yet the feeling of suffocation had not left him. He picked up his suit jacket, sweeping his arms into it as he walked out to
NyxIt's been two days since I got slammed against the wall, but the students won't stop laughing and whispering as I walk to my locker. It doesn't matter if I'm the Beta's daughter or human. Teenagers can be assholes, especially werewolves who believe strength is everything."Hey girl." Mira waves
Nyx povIs there a limit to the weird things that can happen to me? Moon goddess, just give me a break already. Something about this man sends chills down my skin, and I'm not about to stand here and find out what that is. I dust off my soiled dress and turn to leave."Who touched you?" His deep ba
Nyx PovA cold breeze splashed against my face, combing my hair in different directions as I ran as fast as my legs allowed. The beast chasing me wasn't moving like a normal wolf, more like a man in beastly form.Its hinds thumped heavily on the ground. I could feel the vibration beneath my feet. O
