Se connecter"I, Caleb Parker, the next alpha of the shadow hills pack reject you, Rebeccah Smith as my mate and future Luna" The words burned through me with the worst kind of pain. I couldn't believe what was happening. Why the sudden change from him. Everything had been okay all this while. Or has it? __________________________________ Rebeccah's downfall begins with a betrayal. Her best friend who is hungry for power and the mate meant for Rebeccah. So she exposes her secret and watches her burn. Rejected and publicly humiliated by the man she has always loved, Rebeccah is branded as a liar and forced to go to the Misty falls pack as tribute to a man she has never met. The Alpha King. Tales about him were whispered as warnings. He was an unstoppable force. Cold. Dominant. Untouchable. And cursed. He isn't the mate fate gave her first but he's the last mate she'd ever have. Their bond ignites a slow, dangerous fire, promising protection and ruin in equal measure. Because the Alpha King carries a curse as deadly as Rebeccah's past. And when two broken souls are bound by destiny, love isn't gentle. It's disaster.
Voir plusI sat under a tree, arms wrapped around myself as I watched King Leonidas and Christopher talk. Their exchange was calm, nothing heated in the way it used to be. I sat quietly and waited and after a while, Christopher walked away leaving King Leonidas and me alone. He didn't walk towards me and I averted my gaze, trying to rid myself of any expectation. When a twig broke under his boot, I looked up, king Leonidas was facing me, a blank look on his face. We held each other's gaze, neither of us willing to back down. But his intense stare began to rouse emotions that I had buried so I looked away and helped myself to my feet. I scanned the clearing. "Where is Christopher?" I mumbled, not expecting an answer. "He's gone""Gone?" My eyes snapped back to meet his again. There was no hint that he was joking about it. Had Christopher really left? Why? And without a word to me? What happened to our plans of leaving together?"I'll be leaving now. Thank you" I muttered. "I can't let you g
The disturbing sound of water dripping roused me up. Slowly, the world materialized in front of me. I immediately noticed my bound feet and when I fully opened my eyes, I saw Christopher bound, hands and legs on the ground. There had been an explosion and he asked me to run. Something knocked me off my feet and everything went black. We’d been captured. “Christopher” I called in a whisper, I moved closer to him, nudging him but his eyes didn’t open. Instead, the large door opened with a noisy creak. A man entered, his face marred by scars from what I could only assume was battle. Behind him, a familiar figure stalked closer, a satisfied look on her face. “Isabelle” I croaked and she cackled. “We meet again” she announced triumphantly, like she had waited a long time to say that to me.“Unfortunately” I muttered and her expression darkened. “Unfortunately?” “I’m not exactly excited to see you and I don’t know what you intend to achieve with this but it’s useless. It won’t be like
KING LEONIDAS POVI sat in the same spot until morning came. I'd gone through bottles of alcohol and nothing seemed to be dealing with the hollow feeling in my chest. Richard had dropped by earlier with some information I'd not bothered to listen to. Fenrir had lingered longer than I'd liked and it pissed me off. I glanced at the empty bottle and reached for another, loving the feeling of it burning the back of my throat. I'd not expected her to leave or maybe I'd convinced myself it wouldn't happen. I'd been tempted to refuse too. To order her back to her room until I made the decision myself but I'd stopped myself right on time. I didn't have any reason to keep her here. My plan with her was complete. Done. But my mind was still stuck on what I could have done differently to keep her here. As punishment for stealing. That was what I told myself.'Ours' my wolf growled in my head, unhappy with my decision to let her go and everything that had happened but I wouldn't agree with him
Christopher followed silently behind me, his presence like a stormy cloud. Richard spotted us in the hallway but he said nothing and walked right past. A few servants lingered in the hallway, they watched, their eyes following but I held my head up high as I walked back to the room. "I don't have much to pack. We should be on our way" I said softly."I have to make arrangements and then we can leave" I nodded and settled into the chair. "Are you sure you want to do this?" Christopher suddenly asked and I scowled at him. "What is it with you trying to make me rethink every decision that I make. You asked me to leave. No. You pleaded with me to get away from the king. You said it was the better choice and just when I've agreed with you that it truly is, you want me to rethink" Maybe I was better off doing things on my own. Christopher was beginning to come off as unreliable."I don't want you to. I'm just...I don't know how things will play out with your sudden decision to leave. I
KING LEONIDAS POVMy head throbbed in the empty room. I eyed the sheets that were soaked in her scent. I had no idea what it was about her scent that suddenly had me hooked. And I wasn’t willing to let go.She had played herself into my hands. Although I could have found a way to make it happen but
I stared at the harrowing man that I'd traded places with Sarah earlier today just to avoid. His eyes burned into my skin, specks of gold dancing around the black pupils as he stared at me with an emotion I couldn't decipher. He was smiling but it didn't reach his eyes. His eyes told a different s
I abandoned Finn and my quest for dinner and I returned to my room. All through the night, I could barely get any sleep. The king appeared in my dream and he was tearing through Finn while I was forced to watch.By morning, I was a mess. On edge and nervous. The girls acted up as usual but I ignore
I didn't stop running long after I was out of that room. I narrowly missed bumping into walls because of my blurry vision. When my legs finally gave out underneath me, I was somewhere I didn't recognize. A narrow hallway. My hands shook as I pulled my knees to my chest. I'd murdered a man. An in
