ALPHA KARIM Being around Laika was driving me fucking insane. It was ripping my heart out. One minute, I was fucking pissed at what she did, trying to take my pack from me and turning my people against me. And the next minute, I was pinning over her, realizing how deeply in love I was with her.
LAIKA "I came as soon as I got your message," Sekani's voice jerked me out of my thoughts. I stood and hugged him. I had missed him so much. I had been trying to get my wits together since I returned to this pack, and having a friendly face around was very much needed. "Did you miss me this muc

LAIKA I did not understand what was happening, but I had it up to my neck. My anger was flaring, and I could not control it any longer. Why was Karim accusing me of something I could never do? I risked my life for him and this pack, and the least I expected was his jealousy. I condoned it all beca
LAIKA I ran out of the tent without looking back or considering what everyone thought of me. Karim just hit me, and I could not believe it. Jago understood my body language and knew I wanted to be left alone. But Morpheus would not understand, no matter what I do. I didn’t even want to go to his t
