Angie I had no idea why wasn’t my mark healing up? Usually after the chosen mates marked each other, the marks healed. I was from alpha bloodline, and every injury healed within hours. But it hadn’t. I had to apply a healing lotion there and bandage it.Zeke hadn’t touched me since the wedding. I was getting furious by the minute. We had barely returned from the Moon Temple when he disappeared. I had waited in our room for hours, dressed in my wedding dress, thinking he would come claim me, knot inside me. I was so ready. But he never came. I woke up that night, with a loud crash. It sounded like a loud shatter of glass, followed by a guttural growl and something slamming into a wall again. Shocked, who could do that in the Alpha’s house in the dead of the night, I wrapped a robe around me and walked out of the bedroom. But everything had returned to normal. Was I dreaming? The whole house was shrouded in silence and darkness. I tiptoed toward the place from where the sound emerged
Tonya When I returned from the garden with Ivy, the whispering had gotten worse, and I felt uneasy. What if Ezra also believed in it?But Mandy’s allegations were ridiculous. Me using my looks to control Alpha Ezra? If anything, it was his looks that affected me. Left me with a dull ache in between my thighs. And after what Zeke did to me, no matter the attraction, I had surrounded my heart with layers of steel. I couldn’t let myself be involved romantically. At least not with Alpha Ezra. Because once again I was an omega, and he was an Alpha. He would eventually leave me for a higher bloodline. I just couldn’t afford to break my heart again.At first, I ignored the whispers. It was a passing glance in the hallway, or a hushed sentence quickly followed by silence. But after an hour, I couldn’t walk past a corner without feeling eyes on my back, like invisible daggers being thrown. The maids were unusually stiff. Their fake smiles didn’t reach their eyes. Rather it looked like they we
Tonya There was a soft glow in his eyes when Ezra’s deep voice echoed through the clearing when he announced my inclusion in the pack. The moment my pack bond was in place, I felt a strong, intense pull to him. It was nothing like before. The snap of my bond with Blue Moon pack brought a slight pain, but it was quickly overwhelmed by my new bond. I was sure that Zeke had felt it too, and I knew that this was far from over.Norton and Adam congratulated me. Norton was especially happy, and I couldn’t understand why. A rush of warmth filled my chest.We reached home soon and I found that the maids had prepared a special meal for us. We all sat in the dining hall, and Ezra made me sit on his right. As the fire crackled behind us, Ezra leaned closer. “You’re one of us now,” he said with warm closeness, so unlike of him.“Thank you!” I said. “What now?” I asked with curiosity. “What do you want me to do next?”He looked at me, a faint smirk tugging at the corner of his lips. “Have you bee
Ezra Bringing her here, to my home, to my territory, was the first time I felt like I could breathe again. For days, my wolf had been howling, restless, snapping at everyone, like he would rip everyone into shreds. But the moment Tonya stepped across the threshold of my mansion, he stopped growling. Also, a strange peace settled inside me as Shade stopped clawing against my skin, and I finally felt like I could rest.But with rest came thoughts. Had I done the right thing? What about my mom’s memories? I felt like I betrayed her. Instead of fighting Zeke and putting an end to that bastard with my claws, I brought Tonya to my world. That night, when I walked to rescue her in the shadows near that ruined cabin, watching the flames die out and inhaling her fading scent, without thinking, I took her with me. I was working on my primal instincts, driven and controlled by Shade. He refused to let me come out as long as he brought Tonya back safely to our home. Only then he allowed me to c
Tonya I stood awkwardly, surprised by his sudden arrival because I was expecting to meet him by evening or the next day. “Y-you didn’t have to come immediately. You had a meeting,” I said in a raspy voice.“I told them to wait.” Ezra stepped in, closing the door behind him. “What is it?” he asked in a rough voice.I met his gaze, wondering if I should come straight to the point. Why was it that my mind fumbled for words seeing him here? Gathering my wits, I asked, “I wanted to ask what happens next.” I fidgeted with the hem of my shirt. Feeling uneasy as hell, I dropped the bomb. “C-can I stay here? O-or if that’s not possible, I could disappear into a human town.” I didn’t want to impose myself on him. “But I’d prefer that to going back to Zeke.” His expression darkened. “No.”“No?” I blinked. “You mean I can't stay here?” I lowered my head, misery spreading fast. “I understand…”“No, you ARE staying here,” he growled. “And that’s final.” I swallowed. “Oh, okay, Thanks!” I paused
TonyaI never thought another pack could look like this. From the moment I entered New Moon territory, I was struck by how beautiful it was. Unlike the old, unkept buildings and markets of the Blue Moon pack, this place felt alive, neat and modern. Everything screamed of money. It seemed everyone in the pack was wealthy. And to think that it was a pack comprising of rogues, headed by a rogue Alpha? Maybe, Ezra gave these people a chance to build themselves back. And they must have grabbed it because it was one in a million chance after you get expelled from your original pack. As we walked in, open roads curved around green forests. Flowers bloomed along every path. Sleek buildings with modern architecture dotted the skyline. There were solar panels on rooftops, gardens growing vertically along walls, and street lamps that I was sure ran on nonstop electricity. But it was Ezra’s mansion that truly took my breath away. It stood tall on a hill. Its glass walls reflected the sky and m
