The silence between Max and Skye stretched and he could still feel the temptation to forget everything and just go with her.His chest rose sharply as the thought hit him fully, his mind painting the image too clearly.“No.”The word came out firm.Skye’s breath caught slightly.“Max—”“No,” he repeated, louder this time.He stepped back, putting distance between them, as if being too close to her was dangerous.“You don’t get to do this,” he said.Skye frowned, confusion and hurt flashing across her face.“Do what?”“Show up here, after everything, and expect me to just walk away with you like nothing happened” Max said, his voice rising slightly.“That’s not what I’m asking—”“That’s exactly what you’re asking,” he cut in.The tension surged between them again.Skye took a step toward him, her voice softening.“I’m asking you to choose yourself,” she said.Max laughed bitterly.“No, you’re asking me to choose you” he said.Skye hesitated because she knew he wasn’t wrong.“I’m asking
The snapping of branches echoed faintly through the forest now, followed by low murmurs of voices, barely audible but unmistakably present.Mira’s grip on Jack tightened.“We need to hide,” she whispered.Ava didn’t argue this time.Without another word, the three of them moved quickly but carefully, slipping behind a cluster of thick trees and low-hanging branches. Jack pulled Mira down slightly, guiding her into a crouch as he positioned himself just in front of her.Ava moved to the side, pressing her back against the trunk of another tree, her cloak blending almost seamlessly into the darkness.“Stay low,” Jack murmured.Mira nodded, her breath shallow as she tried to steady herself.The footsteps grew louder until Mira could see them emerging from the shadows, their imposing figures moving through the forest with purpose. Her eyes widened slightly.“Soldiers…” she whispered.Jack leaned slightly, just enough to confirm.His jaw tightened.“Skye’s father’s men,” he said quietly.
Ariel's heartbeat pounded violently against her ribs, each thud loud enough that she was certain Alpha king Desmond could hear it. Her hands trembled at her sides, and no matter how much she tried to steady them, they refused to obey.Desmond didn’t move. He stood there, watching her approach, his expression unreadable but his eyes were sharp, cold, and filled with something that made her stomach twist violently.Ariel swallowed hard as she closed the distance between them, her steps slowing despite herself.“I—”She didn’t even get the chance to finish.Desmond moved fast.His hand shot out, grabbing her wrist with a force that made her gasp, and before she could react, he dragged her down the hallway.“A-Alpha—!” she stammered.“Quiet,” he snapped.His voice was low but it cut through her like a blade.Ariel’s breath hitched as she stumbled after him, her feet barely keeping up with his pace as he pulled her along. The corridor seemed to stretch endlessly, the dim lights blurring a
Max walked through the hallway, his steps heavy, his jaw clenched so tight it felt like it might crack under the pressure. Every breath he took was sharp, uneven, laced with frustration he couldn’t seem to shake.Seraphina’s words still echoed in his head and his hands curled into fists.“Damn it” he muttered under his breath.It wasn’t just her. It was everything that had happened tonight. Max exhaled harshly, dragging a hand through his hair as he turned another corner, the dim light flickering across his face.“I should’ve seen it, I should’ve known…m” he said quietly. But he hadn’t and that hurt the most.His steps slowed slightly, his chest tightening.“I trusted you,” he whispered.Even now, he couldn’t stop thinking about her.Max scoffed bitterly at himself.“Pathetic,” he muttered.Maybe Seraphina was right. Maybe he was because despite everything, he still cared.His steps resumed, sharper now as he tried to push the thoughts away.Max stopped walking, his body stiffened s
Mira slowed her steps, crouching slightly as her eyes scanned the forest ahead.Ava had been there just moments ago.“She was right in front of us. She couldn’t have gone far” Mira said.Jack moved beside her now, lowering his voice further.“She’s trained,” he said. Mira’s jaw tightened slightly.They moved forward again, slower this time, more cautious. Every step was deliberate, careful not to make unnecessary noise. The forest floor crunched softly beneath their boots, but they kept their movements quiet.“She’s definitely trying her best to find their camp,” she added.Jack exhaled softly.“If she succeeds…”Mira didn’t let him finish.“She’ll report back to Seraphina, and she won’t wait”she said.Jack’s jaw tightened.Mira’s steps slowed again, her mind racing.“If Seraphina finds Skye before the duel then it won't be good” she whispered.“It’s over,” Jack said.“Not just for Skye, for all of us” Mira added.Jack looked at her because they both knew what that meant.Mira clench
Seraphina stood unmoving at the center of the room, her chin slightly lifted, her gaze locked onto Max with coldness.Max didn’t back down, not even a little.“I told you, stay away from her” Max said, his voice low but firm.Seraphina’s lips curved.“And I told you, I don’t take orders from you ”she replied, her voice dripping with mockery, Max’s jaw tightened.Seraphina stepped forward slowly, closing the gap between them inch by inch, her presence suffocating, her aura sharp and biting.“You’re really testing your limits tonight,” she murmured.Max didn’t move.“Maybe I am,” he said. “Max didn’t resist but he didn’t yield either.“You’re not the only one who got betrayed,” he said quietly.Seraphina froze then her grip tightened.“You’re comparing us?” she asked, her voice dangerously low.“No, I’m saying I know what it feels like” Max said. Her eyes searched his for weakness but she found none.“You don’t know anything,” she said.The tension between them reached a breaking poi
Alpha Brian sat on the floor, his back pressed against the wall of his cell, shackles biting into his wrists. Brian closed his eyes, fury swirling inside him like a storm that refused to calm. He could see her face again, Becca’s, that cursed, wretched woman. The memory of last night gnawed at hi
Becca had not slept a single hour.The night had dragged on endlessly, heavy with thoughts that refused to rest. Every time she closed her eyes, Alpha Eugene’s words came back to her, low, deliberate, and edged with something she couldn’t name.He wanted to impregnate her, not because of love, not
The grand corridors of the Blackwood mansion shimmered with golden light. Chandeliers dangled like frozen stars from the high ceiling, illuminating the polished marble beneath their feet. The faint scent of roses from the garden lingered in the air, blending with the crisp perfume that clung to
The forest was finally behind them. The night air, thick with the stench of blood, sweat, and the lingering growls of defeated rogues, gave way to the heavy silence of the mansion’s courtyard. Guards hurried ahead with torches, their boots striking stone as they dragged Alpha Brian and his survivi
