Chapter 17
EJ
I cautiously made my way to the King’s private chambers. I could hear my uncle destroying furniture from down the hall. He had summoned me to him to handle a problem and it was clear from outside the room, it was a massive one. As an assassin, very little scared me, but the thought of facing my uncle’s wrath had my stomach twisting into knots. It wouldn’t matter that I was his nephew, nobody was safe from the King. I waited for the sounds of destruction to subside before knocking on the door.
“Enter!” The king boomed from the other side of the door.
“You summoned me, uncle?&rdq

Selene Things between Lucas and I had reached new levels of awkwardness after giving into our base desires the night before. He sulked around the apartment, flipping through the few magazines I had and channels on the television. I remained seated on my bed, looking for new constructions in secluded areas. I needed to find a place that had live wires but was far enough of the beaten path to avoid interruption by a passerby. I had been at it for hours, searching for permits and new utility connections, when I finally found the perfect place. I shot the address to Rory in text and dropped my phone on the bed. &

Lucas I had been sitting on the couch with Daniel watching a football game on television when a blinding pain ripped through me. Selene had done a fantastic job of shutting me off through the mate bond in our short time together, but this was something different. The bond was shattering, the shards tearing my soul to pieces as it did. Hades pushed forward, partially shifting my face to my wolf form, and released a mournful howl. I clutched my chest, trying to hold back the pain and collapsed forward, falling to the floor. I held myself up on one hand, the other clawing at my chest as if I cou

“Please don’t leave me.” I couldn’t believe the words had left my mouth, or that Maggie agreed to stay. Even the darkness in the immediate aftermath of Selene’s death hadn’t been as comforting as the idea of a friend who knew what I was going through. Maybe it had been weakness breaking through the cracks of my powerful Alpha exterior, but I knew I couldn’t keep it together without her. I laid in my bed, unable to sleep, feeling torn by the request I had made of Maggie before we went to our separate rooms. I had never shown weakness like that to anyone, not even my mate.

“I brought you lunch!” Maggie smiled as she waltzed into my office, Tupperware in hand. “I figured you’d be too busy to eat with processing all the refugees in the territory.” I motioned for her to take the seat across from me and join me. She had let me wallow in my grief for another week after I returned home before insisting I return to my duties as Alpha. Zane had been insanely grateful to her for getting me back to work. There was a long list of rogues fleeing Cerathe seeking membership in my pack and he couldn’t induct them. That was something only the Alpha could do. With the monthly haze rapidly approaching, it became more important then ever to get them settled in as members. The haze not only made wolves seek out sexual conquests, but

EJI watched in silent satisfaction as Selene’s body contracted as the electricity flowed through it. Her heart had already stopped, but I chose to leave the live wire tangled in the ladder rather than cut the power. The bug I had planted in Rory’s office had captured enough for me to know that she would be arriving soon. The longer I left Selene at the mercy of the electric current, the less likely the medic would be able to revive her. I should have been surprised at her not putting up a fight, but I had discovered that the Alpha my uncle had tasked me with killing was her mate. After I left the medic’s office, I made my way to stake out Selene’s parent’s house. She had been sloppy, letting herself relax in her family home rather than be on

LucasI considered the older wolf sitting across from me. I had been so rushed during the intake of the rogue refugees before the haze that he hadn’t caught my attention. His meeting request had gone unfulfilled for over two weeks after the mass induction. I had been overloaded with settling the new members into the pack in the aftermath of the haze, as well as recovering from the battering I had taken when Hades tried to break free from the cells. “I need to speak with Selene, urgently.” He said, an aura of power flowing through his words. “When she didn’t return my calls, I assumed she must be here, with you. You are her mate after all.”&

Rory The construction site was quiet as I pulled up beside Selene’s car. I glanced at the clock on my dashboard, wondering for a moment if I was late, but it displayed ‘7:59’. I was on time. Selene had a penchant for being early to everything.“That girl is going to be early to her own funeral.” I chuckled to myself as I slung my medical bag over my shoulder, grabbing my battery-operated lantern and the portable defibrillator. I quickly made my way to the door of the building. The scent of burning hair and sea

Selene It hurt to breathe. Every part of me was filled with a blinding pain. Raina was quiet, I wasn’t sure if I had lost her or if she was focused on healing us. I heard light movements beside me just before there was a light stinging sensation in my arm. I felt my body relax as pain medication began to ease my pain. I forced my eyes open against the drug induced heaviness of my eyelids. “Good, you’re awake!” Rory cheered. I le
