Lila POV

I suppose my idea of Hell would be hunting Demons in a corporate building in the middle of New York City on a cold, rainy day. All those people in suits talking about finance or weekend plans while cramped in stuffy little elevators or hanging over office cubicles is definitely not my idea of a fun mission. But when it comes down to it, I’m willing to do just about anything to get out of Hell for a while. The real Hell.

    Lila POV “We have to go back!” I whisper, my blood running cold. I crawl off my knees and turn to Dove, who straightens up. Ash, dust, and blood coat her ripped clothes, and she brushes some of it off her cheeks like she has all the time in the world. How the fuck did she open a portal? How could she just leave them there? “Caleb is hurt! We have to help them!”Her expression drains of all the light and kindness I’ve always seen there, morphing her into someone I’ve never seen before. It’s like a lightbulb going off, and she bows her head, looking over my shoulder. I don’t need to turn around to know who is there, to know she has betrayed me. I can see it in her cold eyes, and I was an idiot.“My Alpha, I have found your runaway mate like you ordered.”I slowly turn around, every second more tense than the next. My boots scratch across the stone ground as my heartbeat fills my ears, and I can smell nothing but fire. The Stormfire Alpha is standing in the middle of the courtyard, dres

    Lila POVThe multiple towering filing cabinets and the large cage in the middle of the floor are as clear as day. Pushed up against the far wall is a huge furnace, the kind used to burn bodies, and I can’t resist the shudder that snakes through me. Those poor humans.“Call him,” I growl, nudging my blade into her.“S-Sebastian,” she stammers. “Sebastian, I have brought them as requested.”Nothing. Not a reply, not even a whiff of demonic magic.“Come out, come out, wherever you are, little demon.” Adrian flicks a knife in his hand and searches the main part of the floor.“Looks like our demon is a bit shy,” Annastasia says, contemplating her black polished nails. “How adorable. Let’s go kill it.”I glance at her and smile. She may be a woman of few words, but the ones she does use are hilarious sometimes.“Call him again,” I snapped at the VP.She shakes her head. “He won’t come. He knows what you are. Both you and the tall one.”Caleb gives a long, drawn-out sigh. Wordless, he reache

  • Rejected by the Alpha, Claimed by the Pack   CHAPTER FOURTY SEVEN

    Lila POV The doors slide open with a resounding ping, and a shudder runs down the length of my spine. Well… it’s time to face these Demonic businessmen. And women. Because when I step out into an open-planned office—which the VP explains is the finance department—there are females sitting amongst the males, all blending into a sea of bland suits. The thrum of fingers typing away on keyboards and photocopiers and printers hard at work punctuate the quiet chatter that circulates between them. Nobody pays us any attention as the VP guides us through the department.While Dove jots down notes in her book, appearing to take everything in, I drown out the woman’s voice and search the floor for Demons.“There’s too many,” Caleb mutters in my ear. “But level five will stand out. Even humans can sense something wrong about them. Wolves can taste it in the air, feel it in our souls.”I turn my eyes to Caleb. He is the son of a level five Demon, and ever since I met him all those years ago, I f

The real Hell.“Here you go, love.” Adrian hands me a blue lanyard with a card that says ‘VISITOR’ on the front. He proceeds to give Caleb, Dove, and her partner, Annastasia, one.The raven-haired girl hasn’t spoken more than a handful of words to me, but she barely speaks to Dove either, so I think she’s just quiet like that.We hang the passes around our necks, then Caleb approaches the reception desk where a cheery-faced human smiles at us all. Damn, Caleb looks hot in his dark grey suit. The material clings to him like a second skin and really brings out his eyes. The D

    Lila POV “It’s been a long day.”“You know the big bad wolf I told you about?”Knight stands to attention right away.“What’s wrong? Which foe must I unleash my mighty wrath on to protect my family?”I fall silent for a moment and scratch Dragon’s belly.“I fear this is a foe neither of us can defeat,” I say, my stomach clenching. “At least not right now.”Knight hops beside me. He doesn’t crawl onto my body like Dragon, but he sits close, which is his way of showing affection.“Why not right now?” he asks and cocks his little head at me.I stop petting Dragon, my thoughts straying to the past. Images of victor at my family’s kitchen table, my parents' dead bodies sitting beside him, with blood on the floor and my hands, flit through my mind. But they each merge into one single object—a golden trophy, a figurative symbol of my winning the Demon Hunting Trials.“Because I haven’t won the Trials yet,” I reply, petting Dragon again. He’s curled up on his back with his tail wagging betwe

    This was a really bad idea.They’re both looking at her like she’s the answer to their prayers, the very air to their lungs, while their mating scent invades my own lungs so much that I nearly gag.

    It's clearly a rhetorical question, one that sends my heart shooting to the pit of my stomach. Did he just say what I think he did?

    I swallow the nervous lump in my throat and watch my mother drape her free hand over the alpha’s knife. Her glancing at the front door was a signal for me to run. But I can’t just run while she’s chained to the table. However, before I can protest, she throws the wine glass onto the table. The gla
