Masuk“Rihanna, there’s something I need to tell you…”I looked at him, waiting for him to finish.But before he could say anything else, the sound of boots pounding against the ground caught our attention.I turned my head toward the noise and saw Julian running toward us.He came straight to us, dropped to his knees beside me and immediately reached for me.“Rihanna, what the hell were you thinking?” he demanded, his eyes moving over my face before dropping to my injured shoulder. “If I didn’t think you were stupid enough to come here, I wouldn’t have followed you. But I had to track you down.”His eyes widened when he noticed the blood.“Look at you. You’re bleeding.” His voice rose with every word. “Why do you always have to be so stubborn? Why do you always have to be so stupid? Why do you keep putting yourself in danger like this? You haven’t even healed yet, Rihanna. Why are you still doing this? Why don’t you ever listen to me?”“Julian…”“No. Don’t ‘Julian’ me.” He reached for my a
"Papa...papa?" I knew I was dreaming, I knew this had to be my imagination playing a cold joke on me... I knew that because I was seeing my pack. And in my dream, everyone was still happy, still thriving, still hopeful and excited like we had always been... "Papa?" I called out for my father. "Chipmunk, if you keep calling me out like that, you'll wear down my name" my father said as he walked out of the pack house... alive, smiling and waving me over. "Oh please, your name isn't Papa... how would I be wearing it down? It's not even your name" I asked, laughing even though my heart was breaking on the other side. "Oh no, Chipmunk. My name is Papa to you... nothing else. Understand?" He said, flucking my nose and laughing when I slap his hands away. "Dad... Stop...I'm not a kid anymore" I say, still giggling. "You'll always be my kiddo, Chipmunk. Always" I smiled and looked up at his face. One second he was smiling down at me, the next he was bleeding from his ey
I didn’t know how long I ran, it could could have been minutes or even hours. But I ran so far away with the baby in my arms that the war began to sound far away. I breathed a deep sigh of relief, dragging air into my aching lungs, as i held on to my torn dress and tried to tie both edges together to give it a semblance of decency. My feet were red and bloody, and full of wounds, but at least I was safe and all alone. No one had followed us while I ran. Not even Alpha Cassian. It was just me and the baby. I looked at him, covered in blood that wasn’t his, but at least he was safe . I was safe. Broken, hurt and alone, but safe… Finally… I was about to thank the moon goddess for finally answering my earlier prayers when I heard a twig snap from behind me. It sounded too damn close to be a coincidence. Way too close to me. My pulse stuttered as I held the whimpering baby closer to my chest. Then the scent of another wolf hit me. I did not recognise the scent. It was not a
Lilith’s POV If i had ever needed the moon goddess to save me, it would be now. I needed her... I was going to die right here and nobody would even care... I couldn’t breathe. The weight of the warrior above me was crushing me, as he pinned me to the ground, his gloved hand trying to forcefully throw my legs open. My already bleeding back scraped against broken branches and gravel as I struggled beneath him... I knew he was only letting me move underneath him because he liked the feel and sounds of my struggling and begging. “please, dont do this... please!!! Get off me! I'm begging you... please leave me alone” I screamed, shoving at his chest, but he was too strong. I knew exactly what he wanted to do to me. Hell, I had watched him and his other fellow soldiers beat up and rape the other females in my pack when they attacked us... I knew it was my turn. As the alpha's daighter, they had saved the best for last. "Alpha's daughter... I've heard so much about you
Perfect — let’s continue the tension from Chapter 19 and move into Chapter 20. Here, we can really show Kade’s Alpha authority, Naya’s wolf fully emerging, and Dorian’s playful, teasing energy breaking the tension slightly.Chapter 20 — Naya’s POV / Kade’s POVThe growl didn’t fade. It stayed in the air, heavy, oppressive, and full of warning. Morgana’s eyes darted between me and Kade, her bravado melting into panic.“You… you can’t—” she stammered.“I can,” Kade said, his voice calm, but each word carried the weight of a storm. He stepped closer, the space between them shrinking, his shadow falling over her like a predator circling prey. “And you will regret it if you touch her again.”I felt my wolf surge, rolling forward like fire in my chest. The anger that had been simmering since the massacre, since the slights, since the hunger and the nightmares, pooled inside me and roared. My claws itched. My teeth ached. But I stayed put, letting Kade’s presence anchor me.Morgana raised he
Chapter 17"I should have died with them,” I whispered before I could swallow it back.The words fell heavy between us.His answer came immediately with a growl.“No.”I laughed bitterly. “You don’t get to decide that.”“Correct,” he said. “But I’ll still say it.”My hands curled into fists. Tears slid from my eyes, further humiliating.“Kade... I can't continue like this... I hear them,” I said. “When it’s quiet. When I try to sleep. When I breathe too slowly. They’re still there, and when I hear them, I hate you even more... I feel the bond, I do... But I can't bring myself to go with the flow of the bond because I hate you so much for making me like this... You ruined me... You ruined everything!!!”His jaw tightened not with anger like I expected, but with restraint.“I know, I understand... I do,” he said.“You don’t know.”“I know what survivor’s guilt smells like,” he answered softly. “It smells like you right now. And honestly, as much as I thought I was doing the right thing
