Kenna**

My body stirred restlessly, refusing to sit still.

Even though I tried—but the moment I lowered myself onto the chair, it felt like something inside me snapped back up again.

My nerves were screaming too alive, like they couldn’t wait even a second longer. So I continued to pace back and forth across the room, the clicking sound of my heels striking the floor in sharp, uneven beats.

I curled and uncurled my fingers at my sides as my thoughts kept circling the same thing over and over

  • Rejected by the Ruthless Lycan king    The Trap

    Ginnie**I tightened my grip unconsciously on my dress as I walked beside Varkos, ignoring the dull ache running through my body. I still feel every step hurt through me with a sharp ache, but it didn’t matter right now the only thing that mattered was Lily.“Lily?” I called, my voice echoing faintly through the space. “Lily, where are you?”No sound came back in return.“She has to be here…” I whispered, more to myself than anyone else. “You said she was here.”Kenna doesn’t respond.I shoot a glance at her, noticing something uneasy stir inside me as she walks ahead of us calmly, her posture straight, her steps steady without hesitating or looking back.“Kenna…” I called carefully.She stopped.For a second, she didn’t move. Then, slowly, she turned around to face us, a sly smirk tugging at the corner of her lips the moment my eyes landed on her.Something was off.Terribly wrong.Before I could say anything else, a sharp sound echoed through the building.Click!“What was that…?”

  • Rejected by the Ruthless Lycan king    The Price Of Trust

    Varkos**The second I slid my eyes open, darkness was the first thing that greeted me, pressing in from every side, like I had been buried beneath something I couldn’t fight my way out of. For a moment, my mind goes blank, lost somewhere between pain and confusion as I struggle to catch up with reality.Then an agonizing pain hit me, spreading through my body in sharp, burning waves, dragging a low groan from my chest as my eyes forced themselves open. Ginnie!My body reacts before my mind can fully process it. I try to push myself up, but the movement sends a violent surge of pain through my chest, forcing the air out of my lungs. I clenched my teeth, breathing hard as I forced myself to stay conscious.Then my eyes snapped down, noticing the blood, soaking through my clothes, still flowing steadily from the wound in my side. The arrow was gone now but the damage remained. The wolfsbane had done its job, because I could feel it spreading through me, dulling my strength, weakening

  • Rejected by the Ruthless Lycan king    RAGE HELD BY LOVE

    Varkos**Kenna spins round in a flash, her words stuck mid-way through her throat before they get the chance to spill.I moved before she could breathe, my hand shot forward, gripping her by the arm, and with a force I didn’t bother to control, I flung her across the room. Her body slammed hard against the wall, the impact echoing sharply as she crumpled to the ground.A weaker wolf would have stayed down.But Kenna wasn’t weak.She pushed herself up, gasping—But I was already on her.I grabbed her by the throat and lifted her off the ground, my fingers tightening around her neck as her feet kicked uselessly in the air.She clawed at my wrist instantly, her eyes wide with shock, but I didn’t loosen my grip.Not even a little.“Where is she?” My voice came out low, deadly, barely controlled. “Where is my daughter?”The words hung in the air like a blade.Kenna froze.For a second, the struggle in her body stilled, her eyes searching my face as something close to disbelief flickered ac

My nerves were screaming too alive, like they couldn’t wait even a second longer. So I continued to pace back and forth across the room, the clicking sound of my heels striking the floor in sharp, uneven beats. I curled and uncurled my fingers at my sides as my thoughts kept circling the same thing over and over again.It should have been done by now. My thoughts stabbed hard.Ginnie has the dagger, she’ll get the perfect chance. Perhaps, Varkos trusts her more than he trusts anyone, a kind of trust so dangerous that it makes him vulnerable.It should be his end by now.I stopped walking, catching my breath slightly.Then, my jaw tightened at a thought.Unless something went wrong…No!She wouldn’t fail. She can’t try to, not after everything I had set in motion. After all the risks I took to make this

  • Rejected by the Ruthless Lycan king    THE TRUTH IN BLOOD

    Ginnie**For one long, suspended heartbeat, the world narrows to the sound of Ginnie’s ragged breathing and the frantic thud of my own pulse in my ears.What the actual fuck did she just say right now?Lily?The little girl with dark curls and big, uncertain eyes who hugged my leg and thanked me for saving her mother. The child who looks nothing like me—and everything like me in the shape of her stubborn little jaw, the way her brows furrow when she’s thinking, the gold flecks I sometimes catch in her eyes when the light hits just right.My daughter?Shock slams through me so hard my vision whites out at the edges. Six years. Six fucking years she carried this secret alone. While I pretended the emptiness in my chest was just the price of being Alpha.I want to ask Ginnie so many questions about why she kept this hidden from me, I want to drag her closer and never let her go.But there’s no time.Ginnie is still shaking—wild, her small fists pounding weakly against my chest like she’

  • Rejected by the Ruthless Lycan king    THE BLADE IN THE HEART

    Ginnie**Kenna had given me twenty-four hours, but it felt more like twenty-four seconds. I tucked the wolfsbane-coated dagger into the waistband at the small of my back, feeling the cold steel against my skin as it digs into my palms.I halt when I reach the outside of Varko's bedroom door, trying to take a moment. I press my forehead to the wood. The tears begin to burn behind my eyes but I refuse to let them fall yet, until I’m inside, staring at his face.The warmth of the key still clung in my pocket from when I stole it. Kenna has now taken the seal and still has Lily.Her orders flowed smoothly through each syllable as she spoke.Twenty-four hours.To kill him.Confess.Or lose Lily forever.A chill rattles me, and I begin to feel my hand shake so badly I can barely turn the handle. The door opens with a soft click, like a gunshot in the silence.Varkos is already awake.He’s now sitting on the edge of the bed, his elbows on his knees, with his head bowed. The sheets were still

    Ginnie**Every eye in the hall was already on me as I stepped forward, my legs betraying me in the worst possible way.Six years.Six years since I’d sworn I would never do this again, that I had buried this version of myself so deep that for a while I almost convinced myself that Ginnie Thorne was

    Ginnie**CRACK!The sound exploded through the kitchen before the pain did. My head snapped to the side, vision turning white as uncontrollable pain bloomed across my cheek.For a moment, the only taste that filled my mouth was the sharp taste of blood as I staggered back, my fingers gripping the c

    Ginnie**Kenna rose first.The scrape of her chair against the stone floor cut through the hum of conversations in the dinner hall, loud enough that the entire hall slowly fell silent. All eyes turned to her as she stood beside Varkos, radiant in an expensive red silk dress that clung to her body

    Ginnie**“Where the hell do you think you’re going?” Varkos’s voice sliced through the hallway like a blade.Shit!For half a second, I considered running away before he could get to me, letting instinct take over—but then Lily stirred in my arms, her small fingers tightening around my shoulder, an
