LOGINSnow removed the cape she wore the moment she finally set foot in the human world.She watched the crowd move—whispering, chattering like a flock of birds as they shopped.Her eyes stayed glued. It was like the werewolf world, but without order. She moved her feet, kicking through the crowd.“Come on, that’s expensive.”“Gosh, she’s so full of herself.”“I hate her, to be honest.”She heard all their murmuring words, yet their faces smiled with warmth.“Hm. Vicious, cruel, and hypocritical,” Flyer, Snow’s wolf, muttered. For some reason, she agreed.In the wolf pack, anger, hatred—everything, could be seen. They didn’t hide it. When they hated you, they let you know, rubbed it in your face. But here, humans smiled warmly while cursing behind each other’s backs.She stared, her eyes wary, until she sighted a woman. The woman stared back, lips pressed tight, eyes locked on Snow.Snow looked away, biting her lips. Did she give off some weird sign of not being human?She froze mid-step th
Finally, they arrived at the beach. Imogen’s eyes glowed as she stared at it, a smile spreading across her face. Asher watched her, his gaze fixed on her, eyes glistening.“You like it?” Asher asked.Imogen beamed, turning to him, her hair flying in the wind.“I love it,” she said.Asher felt his heart skip a beat the moment she spoke those words. He licked his lips and turned toward the ocean.He had seen photos of the sea in a notebook she kept locked in her cupboard. He shouldn’t have looked—but he had. Those images of the sea, the waves, the horizon—he knew what it meant to her. So, he decided to bring her here for a vacation.Besides, it was the perfect place to deal with Han. He knew Han had already found her house, the fake one Asher had lured him to. He planned to finish things there. But right now, it was all about Imogen.“Let’s get to the room first,” Asher said.Imogen nodded eagerly and ran toward the beach house without hesitation.It was the first time she had ever seen
Finally, Hans stared at the images on the wall — every picture leaving a trace of her current location. He had been looking for her all the way from Lunar Pack to here.She was the reason his family got kicked out of Lunar Pack. Luna Lyra herself came, sword in hand, furious beyond reason.There he was mis- handling a girl, and Lyra’s eyes shimmered with anger. She didn’t hesitate — she cut off Hans’ left ear, giving him one last warning to leave without the slave girls he had taken.He had been furious then. He vowed to find Imogen and make her pay. But first, he would ravage that body of hers — her scent intoxicated him. He walked closer to the images, pressing his cheek against them, sniffing as though he could scent her.He missed her. Now that he had Asher as a friend — someone who could easily reach her. He could finally get what he had always wanted.The night she escaped, he had tried to force himself on her. She fought back, injured him, and ran, that was the night she found
"A vacation? For what?" Imogen asked, and Asher walked toward her, placing his hands on her cheeks and gently squeezing them."You look stressed," he said, and Imogen rolled her eyes — for a moment, she thought it was something serious.She pulled his hands away and walked to the couch. "To be honest, I’m okay," she said, and Asher’s eyes darkened."I want to spend some alone time with you. Can’t I?" he asked, and Imogen froze.She hadn’t expected him to be so blunt. Her cheeks reddened a little — it was the very first time someone of the opposite gender had said something like that to her."Hmm, okay then. I accept," she said, looking away, trying to seem nonchalant. Asher smirked and walked over to her. He cupped her cheeks once again, but this time, he pecked her lips."Let’s start packing. We leave tomorrow," he said.Imogen smiled. "Sure," she replied.Asher walked toward the room, but his smile faded instantly, replaced by a dark expression.There was a reason he wanted this hol
Kai walked toward Logan, who sat slumped in his seat. He had seen Snow slam the door in Logan’s face, and he agreed Logan was being selfish. People could die, yet he stayed stubborn.“That book wasn’t destroyed, right?” Kai asked.Logan heaved a sigh and sank inward for a moment before turning to Kai. “Actually, it was hidden. Kept away for a reason. It held too much information. Everyone swore the book was destroyed, but not everyone could keep that secret.” He glanced at Kai and tried a small, tired laugh.It felt like a joke to Kai. He had always been Logan’s right-hand man, and yet such important information had been kept from him. He was the next beta, but he felt withered, as if nothing about him mattered.“And I didn’t know of this?” he asked.Logan licked his lips. “The Alpha wanted no loose ends. I wanted to protect you.” He paused and fixed Kai with a look. “Trust me — you don’t want to know what was written in that book.”Kai let out a short, unexpected laugh — not funny, j

He stood up and crashed his tablet to the floor, cursing himself for letting her slip away. “Not a single soul should enter,” his servants all shivered outside his door, terrified of what his anger might bring.“Bring her,” he yelled. His right-hand man, leaning on the door, asked, “Bring who, my lord?” Sylvester laughed without thinking and reached through the gap, grasping the man’s neck with one hand.“You dare ask me that?” he growled. The man trembled. “I will bring Lioara," he stammered. “Good seems you live to see another day,” Sylvester said, letting him go.“Get out of my sight,” Sylvester said menacingly, watchin
