LOGINBeing a werewolf who only partially shifts, Lori was seen as a misfit by her pack until the Alpha confessed his love and married her. However, Lori’s dream of a happy ever after began to fade when her mate grew distant after she uncovered his shady dealings in his quest for more power. When Lori discovered she was pregnant with twins, she thought the news would prompt her mate to retrace his steps. But just when she went to tell him, her sister accused her of infidelity, and Lori’s life took a fast spin to hell. For months, Lori endured torments, clinging to the fragile hope that the truth would be revealed when she gave birth. However, her sister tries to kill both her and her baby, and Lori runs, despite several failed attempts before. Her escape is cut short again, but this time, the moon goddess favors her when her rescue comes from the most unlikely source: the ruthless, one-eyed Alpha Vince, a man feared even by the powerful. Alpha Vince requests Lori as payment for a debt owed by her mate, never expecting that his compassion for lone wolves would make him break his own rules. And finds out Lori’s past, even her present, held secrets that would determine the fate of their country.

I shake my head gently, facing Vince. “No.” I try to convince myself, but it’s futile. “It can’t be.”Vince places his hand on my left shoulder. “Please, relax.” His voice is low. “We have one week until the next summoning, so we can find some answers before then.”My thumping heart eases slightly, and I gaze down at my stomach, blinking multiple times. My mind immediately wanders t
VINCEI quickly bend to catch Lori just before she hits the ground. Her face becomes faintly pale, and my heart hammers, filling my ears. I raise my head to face the Supremes. “This is exactly why she should never return to that hellhole,” I yell, and my gaze circles them.I rise, carrying Lori in my arms. The urgency to get her conscious pumps adrenaline so strongly that I turn sharply and dash to the door. Barrett moves towards me, and I growl at him not to dare. “One week.” A loud voice echoes into the silence, making me halt halfway through the door.I turn to face the Supremes with my brows furrowed, and my gaze settles on Garf, whose face is set in a tight frown.“This summoning continues in one week.” Garf barks, and all six of them stand to leave. I swirl and storm off to the elevator, burying my anger at Garf. The ground floor elevator opens, and I hurry in a slow jog, careful not to shake Lori excessively. I kick the door into the parking lot but freeze for a second when I
LORI“No way.” Vince protests with knitted brows.“I need to go, Vince.” My voice is firm.Vince sighs and looks at Lola, expecting some support.“They need to know everything Barrett did,” Lola says.Vince exhales and looks at me, parting his lips to speak.“And it’s better if Lori’s there to tell it,” Lola adds, interrupting Vince.Vince’s head snaps back to Lola, his brows furrowing slightly, and his shoulders slump in defeat. Sighing, he says, “Well, OK.” Lola's lips raise in a mock smirk. “I know you hate losing, but this is Lori’s fight.”“We leave after breakfast tomorrow.” Vince stands. “I have to take care of some things tonight.” He glances at Welsh and Levi, and they follow as he leaves.The rest of the evening is mostly silent for me, and when Vince returns, he sits on the balcony until very late, just staring straight ahead. I lie awake, swirling restlessly for long, but dozing off eventually.The morning comes rushing like water from a pressured tap nozzle, and Vince is
LORII’m just angry—angry at myself for believing I can be saved. Vince was bold enough to interfere in the first place, and I’m grateful for that. Levi drives quietly, stealing peeks at me occasionally. We cross Malrock’s border, and my heart drowns. I place both my hands underneath my stomach and blow a shaky breath. ‘This is it.’ As if sensing my pain, Levi’s shoulders rise and fall as he heaves, and his fist tightens on the steering wheel as we approach a curve on the road.“Stop.” I blurt out suddenly. Levi turns to me with knitted brows. “What?”“Stop, please.” My words are rushed, and I fix a stern gaze on Levi’s.Levi brakes, and we lean forward as the car reaches a quick standstill. Levi glances at me, the unspoken question written on his face. “I’ll walk the rest of the way.” My voice is low, and I turn my head to fix my gaze ahead.“But…” Levi starts, but I interrupt.“It’s just up ahead.” “No, it’s not.” Levi protests, looking down at my stomach, then at the road ahead
LORIDistorted voices echo as I slowly regain consciousness. The voices fade when a low moan escapes my lungs, and I rub my hand against my eyes gently.“She’s awake.” A female voice whispers. “Call Vince, fast.”The smell of penicillin hits my nostrils, and I squint. I slide to sit up, but a sharp
VINCEI shouldn’t be here. Being the strongest alpha in the south doesn’t make me above the law, but my will to bend those laws to their farthest always gets the best of me. I’m investigating a rumor I heard about Barrett from one of my men, and I intend to come and go discreetly.Conan, my wolf, c
“Hello, madam,” Maya says, facing Celine.“Maya.” Celine’s voice is firm. “Did you finish the errands?” Errands? My mind spins as it hits me that Celine was indeed trying to harm my babies. Without them, she knows there’ll be no way to prove my innocence, and I’ll be of no use alive. “I brought yo
VINCE“Yo, take it easy, man.” Levi, my third in command, speaks from the back seat.I ignore and grunt softly as I step on the throttle. Levi falls silent, and I’m grateful he finally understands. Welsh, my right-hand man and best friend, sits quietly beside me. I appreciate his understanding of my
