ログイン~EVERETT~ The heavy wooden door shut behind Nicky as she left my room, leaving me alone in the dark silence.Before I took the suppressants, being alone in the dark meant pure torture. My mind would have been screaming, images of Knox being tortured flashing behind my eyes, my lungs burning for air. But now, as I stood in the middle of the carpet, I felt absolutely nothing. There is no panic, no shaking hands, and no tears. Just a large, cold ocean of peacefulness.And then, the soft voice echoed inside my head again."Look at you," the voice whispered, purring like a cat in the shadows of my mind. "So quiet. So still. Isn't this better, Everett?"I walked over to my bed and sat down. My hands were totally steady."Yes," I whispered out loud to the empty room. "The pain is gone.""Because you don't need to feel pain," the voice murmured softly, wrapping around my thoughts like warm silk. "They all treat you like a fragile glass doll. Your father, Lewis, even Silas... they look at
~KNOX~Everything felt dark, heavy, and freezing cold; that was all I could feel at the moment. My head hurt with a dull, sickening pain. Each time I tried to breathe, I tasted a harsh mix of copper and bitterness in my throat.The phospholipid suppressants my uncle had injected into my blood were coursing through my veins, smothering my internal flame. My Alpha wolf was completely silent, buried deep under layers of dark, fake ice.I couldn't move my hands. Heavy iron cuffs bit into my wrists, holding my arms above my head against the cold stone wall.I kept slipping in and out of consciousness, drowning in a fog of thick sedation. Whenever my eyes drifted shut, I saw him.I saw Everett's soft, beautiful face. I saw his green eyes looking up at me, his warm hands resting against my chest, his voice calling my name through the dark.Knox... please come back to me...I'm trying, my love, I screamed inside my own mind. I'm trying!Then a harsh surge of drugs would drag me back to th
~EVERETT~I locked the door and backed away, sliding down against the wood until I was sitting on the floor. I buried my face in my knees and let out a raw, broken scream, sobbing until my throat felt like it was bleeding.Knox... Knox, please hold on... please don't forget me... pleaseA soft knock sounded on the door a few minutes later."Everett?" my dad's timid voice called from the hallway. "Son... please let me in. Let me talk to you.""GO AWAY!" I shrieked, throwing one of my shoes at the door. It hit the wood with a loud THUD. "LEAVE ME ALONE! IF YOU WONT HELP ME SAVE HIM RIGHT NOW, GO AWAY!"Silence followed on the other side. I heard my father let out a soft, broken groan before his slow footsteps faded down the hall.I sat there in the dark room for what felt like hours. The moonlight poured through the tall windows, casting long, bloody shadows across the floor. My heart was beating at a terrifying speed, my hands shaking so violently I couldn't even keep them still. M
~EVERETT~"And planted all around her corpse," Silas added, "were your father's personal belongings. His bloody crest dagger. His pack cloak. His signet ring.""I DID NOT KILL HER!" my father suddenly roared, stepping forward, with his face twisted in absolute agony. He slammed his fist against his chest, staring at me with desperate, terrified eyes. "Everett, you have to believe me! I swear on my soul, I swear on your mother's life, I had nothing to do with it! Elara came to me, saved my village, and we said our final goodbyes! She went back to her pack to face her punishment for betraying them! I never saw her alive again!""I know you didn't, Lucas," Silas said gently, placing a hand on my dad's tense shoulder. "I know.""My pack was surrounded two days later!" my dad cried out, tears streaming down his face as he looked at me. "Zeth brought three hundred warriors to our gates! He brought Elara's lifeless body on a stretcher! He accused me of seducing her, manipulating her into
~EVERETT~"Elara didn't die because your pack attacked her. Elara died because she fell hopelessly in love with your father... and that single forbidden secret changed the course of the entire war."My jaw nearly dropped from the sheer level of shock at his words.Elara died because she fell hopelessly in love with your father...When the hell had that happened?!I stared at the silver-haired man, my brain completely refusing to process what he had just said. The quiet wind whistled around the stone pillars of the porch, but inside my head, it felt like a bomb had exploded."What... what did you just say?" I rasped, taking a shaky step toward Silas. "My father? Elara was in love with my father?"Silas turned his gentle eyes toward my dad. "May I explain it to him, Lucas? He deserves to know the truth. You all do."My father stood frozen beside my mother. His hands were tucked tightly into his coat pockets, his face pale and hollow. He didn't look at me, nor did he look at Silas. He j
~EVERETT~The thick white steam slowly disappeared around the black transport, showing a tall figure standing on the wet stone.Miller moved to the front of the guard line, trying to see through the thick mist. Suddenly, his eyes opened wide in shock. "Wait! Lower your weapons! Everyone, stand down! That's... that's Knox's eldest uncle Lord Silas!""Silas?" Lewis's voice softened instantly. He lowered his sidearm, a look of genuine disbelief and relief washing over his tense face. "What in the world is he doing here?"I watched from the porch railing as the older man stepped out of the dark transport. He had thick silver hair that was neatly combed back, warm brown eyes, and he wore a nice velvet coat that seemed too comfortable for a late-night mission.Even though he was in the middle of an armed group with tactical rifles, he didn't look scared at all. Instead, he gave off a deep, gentle warmth that cut through the cold night air.The moment my eyes landed on his face, a strange
~EVERETT~ The clock in my room ticked loudly, like a nervous heartbeat. Every second felt slow and brought me closer to midnight. Closer to him. I spent the hours between the shower and shame staring at the cracked ceiling, my body still buzzing from his kiss. My lips felt tender. My skin
~EVERETT~ The sound of fists hitting flesh was wet and strong. Someone made a noise. Another person cried out. Bodies were knocked backward. I couldn't see much, still pressed against the cold tile, but I heard every strike. Knox moved like a storm of controlled anger. There were three loud thud
~EVERETT~ The silence in the arena was suffocating now. Knox didn't move. He just stood there on the ice, his nostrils flaring as he took in the air. If my scent betrayed my sheer terror, I’m sure everyone here definitely noticed. I was an omega, and right now, I smelled like honey turned sour w
~EVERETT~ I never thought I’d lose my virginity like this. I never thought that the one man who hated me the most in the world would be the same man groaning as he shoved his thick cock into my tight hole for the first time in my life. But it all started a few weeks ago, the day my whole life bega
