LOGINThe moment Tyler finally disappeared from the study, the tension in the room did not leave with him.If anything, it seemed to grow worse.The heavy wooden doors closed behind the stranger with a loud thud, and Eugene immediately turned away, running a hand through his dark hair in frustration."You're all dsmissed" he said, the order came sharply.The guards wasted no time. One after another, they bowed their heads and hurried from the room.Within moments, only Alpha King Eugene and Max were left alone and the study suddenly felt quieter.Eugene walked toward the large window overlooking the training grounds and his jaw remained clenched.His fists tightened and loosened repeatedly.Max watched him for several seconds then sighed."You are still angry" he said.Eugene let out a humorless laugh."Still?"Max folded his arms."That bad, huh?"Eugene turned toward him and his eyes flashed."That wolf is becoming a problem" he said.Max rubbed the bridge of his nose."The man saved Becc
Kaelyn paced restlessly across her room, back and forth. Her shoe sounded beneath her feet as her anxiety steadily grew.The baby slept peacefully inside his crib, completely unaware of the storm brewing around him.Normally, watching her son sleep would calm her but tonight, however, nothing seemed capable of calming her nerves.Her hands trembled, her stomach felt tight and one terrifying thought kept repeating itself over and over inside her head.Mira heard everything.The realization made her stop pacing.Moon Goddess.What if Mira had already gone to Alpha Eugene?What if she was telling him everything right now?What if she was twisting things? Making her sound manipulative?Making her sound exactly like the kind of woman Alpha Eugene despised?Kaelyn pressed both hands against her face."No, no, no..."A soft voice interrupted her panic."Panicking won't solve anything"Kaelyn lowered her hands and looked at Ava who sat calmly in a chair nearby.Unlike Kaelyn, the maid looked
The study had become deathly silent, not a single guard dared move.The atmosphere itself felt dangerous, like a storm moments away from breaking.Tyler's back remained pressed firmly against the stone wall, the impact from Eugene's earlier shove still lingered through his shoulders but he refused to show weakness.Unfortunately, that only seemed to make Alpha King Eugene angrier. His hand remained twisted in the front of Tyler's shirt.Tyler sighed internally. This situation had become ridiculous."I don't want to fight you" he said.Eugene laughed and the sound held absolutely no humor."How noble" he said.Tyler resisted the urge to roll his eyes."I'm serious" he replied. The Alpha's grip tightened further."So am I" he shot back.The room felt filled with Alpha power but Tyler still refused to react.Eugene's expression darkened further."You think you're brave" he said.The Alpha's eyes narrowed as Tyler kept quiet."Answer me."Tyler sighed."I have nothing to say" he replied.
The sound of Jack's punch still seemed to echo through the hallway and for a few seconds, nobody moved.Mira stared in complete disbelief. Her mind struggled to process what had just happened."Oh, Moon Goddess" Mira whispered.Max slowly turned his head back and the look on his face immediately made her heart sink.He was absolutely furious.His eyes locked onto Jack dangerously but he wasn't backing down. If anything, the punch seemed to have released something inside him.His chest rose and fell heavily while his eyes remained fixed on Max.The tension became unbearable and Mira immediately stepped between them."Stop" she said but nobody listened.Max rolled his shoulders. His wolf was close to the surface now."You hit me."Jack laughed."I'll do it again" he said.Max's eyes flashed. The answer nearly pushed Max over the edge.Mira could practically see the moment his self-control snapped.Mira reacted instantly. She threw herself between them, both hands pressed against Max's c
As Eugene stared at Tyler from across the study, the room felt smaller than it should have.Every second that passed only seemed to worsen the pressure building inside his chest.The atmosphere around Alpha King Eugene had become increasingly dangerous and the guards lining the walls could feel it tooTyler stood in the center of the room, his shoulders remained straight. His gaze remained level and that irritated Eugene more than he cared to admit.The image of Becca holding Tyler's hand flashed through his mind then another memory of Becca standing between them, defending Tyler made his jaw tighten.Eugene slowly walked around his desk and the sound of his shoes echoed throughout the room.Tyler followed his movements carefully. He knew exactly how powerful Eugene was.Only a fool would underestimate the Alpha King and he was not a fool.Unfortunately, caution didn't stop Eugene's irritation. It only made him more aware of how much he disliked the man standing before him.Finally Eu
The hurt in Jack's eyes refused to disappear and Mira wished she could take her question back.She had expected anger, maybe irritation, perhaps even a sarcastic response.What she hadn't expected was disappointment.Jack stood motionless in the hallway. The documents in his hands suddenly seemed forgotten.His gaze remained fixed on Mira and the longer he looked at her, the worse she felt."Mira..."His voice was quieter now, not angry or defensive, just hurt.The sound alone made guilt twist inside her stomach.Max watched the exchange silently, his expression unreadable.Mira swallowed."Jack, I didn't mean—" she started but he cut her off."Didn't mean what?" He asked let out a soft humorless laugh. "You didn't mean to ask if I'm secretly loyal to the man who ruined my life?"Mira flinched and Jack noticed but he wasn't interested in making her comfortable.Not right now, not after that question.He looked away briefly then back at her."You know what I've done" he said plainly.
Becca stumbled as rough hands dragged her forward.Her wrists were bound tightly behind her back, iron cuffs biting into her skin with every step. Each tug from the soldiers made the restraints dig deeper, a constant reminder that she was no longer in control.Mira was beside her, pushed forward ju
The room smelled of bitter herbs and crushed flowers meant to be some kind of therapeutic process but Seraphina hated it.She lay half-reclined against a mound of pillows, pale silk sheets drawn neatly to her waist, her hair brushed but dull, lacking the former shine it once carried so effortlessly
The room chosen for the meeting sat deep within the resistance hideout, carved from stone and reinforced with thick wooden beams that bore the marks of old battles and newer desperation. Oil lamps burned low along the walls, their flames steady, casting long shadows that stretched and shifted in t
Max ripped his claws free from a soldier’s chest and pushed the body aside with a snarl.The wolf collapsed to the floor, blood already pooling beneath him, dark and steaming in the torchlight. Around him, the resistance hideout had become a battlefield carved straight from hell.Screams echoed th
