Hi all, Hoping to receive your gemstones for this book. I am planning on a mass release but I need some reviews so that it would reflect on the app!
ZekeThe thought of Ezra befooling me made my blood boil. But the thought of him going to Tonya was like someone had dropped in a boulder in my stomach.Panicked, I opened my mind link with Daniel. ‘Get every available warrior and tracker on this. I want updates every hour. Track every road, every damn trail,’ I ordered, desperation laced in my voice.I stood in the midst of my pack members, knowing they were now waiting for my announcement that I’ve won. But my mind went to my bastard older half-brother. Ezra hadn’t run from fear. Why did I feel he had made a move I didn’t see coming? I felt like I’d been played. Or was I overthinking? I wished he hadn’t found Tonya. I had to kill him before he reached her. Razor was growling inside me to shift and run to my mate. So instead of announcing, I turned to leave. But as soon I was about to go, Angie came.Angie grinned at me. “I heard Ezra didn’t make it.”“Yeah!” I ran my fingers through my hair, wondering if I truly won it. Angie too
Zeke The day of the challenge had finally arrived. Every time I thought about how I would fight with Ezra, it felt like fire licking up my spine. I wanted to defeat him, and go to Tonya.I got up before sunrise, unable to stay still. My body felt tense with anticipation. I had trained for this for the entire week. Defeating Ezra in front of everyone sent a thrill through me. I would put that rogue in his place.I looked at the small knives I had in hidden pockets of the slacks I would wear for the fight. A chuckle left me thinking how I would puncture his skin, make him bleed, and he wouldn’t even come to know. I would grind his pride into the dirt. After that I’d finally make Tonya mine, knot in her. My wolf was restless inside me, ready to fight and then claim our mate. Not sink our fangs in her. Claim her. Just the thought of it had my entire being stirring.I still remembered how she looked the last time, so scared, fragile and stupidly stubborn. She pleaded for freedom, and yet
Tonya The sound of heavy paw-steps thudding outside the tent made me stir. What was going on? It was still cold, and a faint breeze carried his scent of woodsmoke and pine through the fabric walls. I stirred slowly, blinking my eyes open to the canvas of my tent. Morning had arrived but the warmth beside me from the night before was gone. Surely, last night was a dream. I yawned and stretched lazily, but when images of Ezra pinning me beneath his body flooded my mind, I gasped, blushing hard and straightening like a ramrod. The flap opened only slightly and I saw golden eyes watching me curiously. Shade had pushed his face inside the tent, and was watching me as I yawned. The moment our eyes met, his tongue fell out slightly and… did he purr? Butterflies exploded in my belly violently. Shade had an unexplainable effect on me. And his human Ezra as well.Shade tore his gaze away from me and turned back, closing the flap. I took a deep breath to silence my thundering heart when all of
Tonya We ran through the night nonstop. Shade was powerful and tireless beneath me. His golden fur shimmered under the moonlight, mesmerizing me. I held on tightly, and once again pressed my cheek against his warm back. The cold wind stung my eyes, but I didn't care because the wind smelled of freedom. It was a thousand times better than the cozy fire in the cabin.Sometime during the journey, I noticed we weren’t alone anymore. Hundreds of wolves ran with us, their paws thudding softly against the forest floor. Some wolves flanked us on motorcycles, others in jeeps, headlights bouncing through the trees. They followed their Alpha without question, like an army answering only to their king.I wanted to ask about the challenge. Had it been postponed? Cancelled? But I couldn’t bring myself to ask about it. I clung to Shade, my fingers buried in the thick fur around his neck. I realized that I didn’t need answers. All I needed was this feeling of a safety net around me. And so I closed
Tonya A deafening explosion shattered the silence of the cabin. I screamed and ran, clutching my ears as the very ground beneath me shook. Dust fell from the rafters. Outside the window, I saw a cloud of smoke rising. My heart leapt into my throat at the sound of splintering wood and crumbling metal. The fence was gone. It was blown to pieces.“No, no, no,” I whimpered as I dragged myself across the wooden floor. I crawled to the darkest corner of the cabin and wrapped my arms around my knees, trembling. I was sure of it now. The rogues had come. And they attacked me. They’d heard my screams. They’d smelled my fear. I was going to die here, torn apart in a lonely cabin while the snow fell quietly outside. I prayed to the goddess as tears rushed out. Today was the day of the challenge. If not Zeke, then I would die at the hands of the rogues. The next sound I heard was the door being ripped from its hinges. It was torn from the frame like it was paper. I closed my eyes and shrank fu
EzraThe seventh day finally arrived. It was the day of the challenge. The full moon hovered at the horizon. It glowed larger with every passing second. I couldn’t help feeling restless, not because I had to fight Zeke. I knew I would take him down in less than thirty minutes. But I was restless because I couldn’t wait to meet Tonya. Or was the effect of the full moon?Werewolves’ emotions were at peak during the full moon. And this was a reason why all of us were adrenalin charged. Not only that, we were prohibited to go near the human towns because of our feral natures. I stood before the mirror, bare-chested, as I stared at my reflection, cursing myself for not even trimming my beard. I looked so rough. My hair had grown longer, and curled around my neck. Damn it. I should have got them cut. What was she going to think of me?My heart should have been focused on victory, on the power I would seize tonight. But all I could think of was Tonya. What was she going to wear? I hope not
