Se connecterLaura's POV I stared into space, unblinkingly. Nothing made sense anymore. Jenine was dead. I was a fugitive. And I was stuck with the last person on earth I wanted to be with.Things had gotten really bad. I caught myself mumbling words that I didn't understand. I couldn't stop even if I tried. But I didn't try.The sound of running water drew me back to reality. I felt the current pull against my legs as I stood in the shallow water. I caught a glimpse of my reflection and a shiver crawled down my spine.My hair was disheveled. I hadn't trimmed my nails. I looked like the devil's spawn—a shadow of my former self.My mum had tried her best to comfort me. But she didn't understand. She never did. She could never understand why I grieved.Before Jenine, my life had been a bore. I had been all by myself. No family. No one to talk to. In her, I found a friend—a sister I never had.

Elisha's POV Respect.It came with being beta. Enormous. Thrilling. Breathtaking. You'd give an order and it was carried out with the speed of light. Something I'd never experienced before. I felt powerful. I could do anything.No one challenged me. Everyone feared Barlas. And so they in turn feared me, his beta. His word was law.Just the other day, he had decapitated an omega for breathing too close to him. A cruel thing to do.Effective nonetheless. I didn't want to be feared or respected on Barlas's account. It was a brazen insult to me. Because I knew who I was. What I was capable of.A warrior walked up just as I sighed.“Any news?”He shook his head.“Use your fucking words!”“N– no beta. We found nothing.”I waved him away. This was the fifth squad I'd sent to look for her. It's been two months already and still no sign of her anywhere. Even the warriors that Barlas had sent to hunt down Luca were yet to return. Goddess knew what held them back.“Beta,” Barlas's voice came t
Elisha's POV My ears twitched as I walked to the door, muscles taut. I had heard everything. Coming to in the middle of nowhere after trying to kill your best friend… It does something to you.The last thing I remembered was my raised claws descending to kill Luca. I still remembered the look in Jenine's eyes—the way she had looked at me. The way she had begged for his life. She still felt something for him. That poor bastard. My rage and loathe had gone off the rails.He was gone by the time I snapped back to consciousness. Jenine too had disappeared into the wind.Everything I had fought for had eluded my grasp in the twinkle of an eye. But I wasn't going to stop until I had it all.I sauntered in just as Karl darted for Barlas. A very dumb move.I watched as the warriors pounced on him. He had threatened the alpha.“Take him to the underground dungeon,” Barlas ordered. “A few nights in there should cool him off.”I straightened myself as he dismissed the meeting. I waited till th
Karl's POV A hush fell around. The warriors—what was left of them—glimpsed around, peering through bloodied eyes, their bodies marked by the scars of battle. The whole place reeked of pain. Of fear. Of death. Of anguish.Orchid sauntered in, a walk of victory. Her mission had been accomplished.Barlas's eyes met hers.“Is she–”“Yes, she's dead.”I didn't know who she meant. But I'd overheard her talk about a certain she-wolf that needed to be out of the way. From the way she spoke of her, I could tell she was threatened by her mere existence. Even if she didn't admit it—I didn't expect her to—she was afraid of who she was. Of what she could do. My curiosity grew. Someone that bothered the witch… Who was she? And why did she want her unalived?Barlas's voice startled me. I wasn't used to having a brazen Alpha. None of us.“We will be having a reform in this pack,” he growled loud enough for all to hear. “A lot of things are going to change starting today. I am your Alpha. Anyone
Luca's POV That was it. I knew. I knew my father would go ahead with his promise. I hadn't found a mate. At least to the best of his knowledge.The bed creaked as I lowered myself into it, tired and frustrated. I had to go find her—the girl that I had saved in the woods that night. My mate. But I
Laura's POV “Hold yourself together, Jenine,” I whispered, tightening my grip on her arm. I wasn't going to let her do this. I had watched her every move since she got in here with Elisha. You can't blame me. I didn't trust the son of a bitch.“Laura,” she grunted my name again as she struggled t
Jenine's POV Laura had looked pale in the face like she'd seen a ghost when I came out to meet Elisha when he came to pick me up. The only thing she had told me was that she and Elisha had dated and he wasn't all good and nice as he portrayed himself to be. Well, I didn't care. I wasn't in Lupest
“Elisha's still taking you?” Laura asked as Jenine sat in front of the mirror, dusting her face with light powder.“Mmmhhh,” she mumbled as she tried to apply the eyeliners.“You're getting it all wrong. Here, let me help you.” Laura turned the swivel chair around to face her. She couldn't help bu
