LOGINChapter 51- Two Sides of One CoinAZRAEL POVThis was life!This was everything I prayed for and more.For this, I would suffer centuries of loneliness and curses… Just to have this… to have her snuggled in my arms as she purred softly, and Malrik’s body pressed against hers. The past few days had been absolute hell. The idea of losing her alone was enough to almost drive me to the edge of a knife. I almost did the unimaginable; almost removed myself from the surface of the world before having her yank our hearts out and crash them in the palm of her hand. And to think that was the farthest thing she thought…The idea of her rejecting us almost drove me crazy. But now, with her warm body snuggled close to mine, to Mal’s, I was the happiest person in the whole wide world. A tiny giggle yanked me from my musings. I shifted just a bit as Aurelia moved her hand to cover her mouth to muffle the giggle. I turned fully until I was spooning her body, my hand draped onto her slim waist and
Chapter 50- The ChoiceMALRIK POV You know that foreboding feeling... That sense of catastrophe when shit was about to hit the fan... And you couldn’t do anything to stop the impending doom but sit and watch as it drew closer and closer, and fucking closer…That's what crippled me the entire night. Even as my whole world and the reason for my existence lay curled in my arms the whole night, snoring softly and murmuring about magic pussies... I couldn't sleep a fucking wink.For one, I wanted to know what were magic pussies and what was actually going on in that head of hers. Secondly, I dreaded what came in the morning. She had said she wanted to talk to us...And I already knew what it was all about...She was going to reject us, and it was going to hurt like a motherfucking bitch. We had only just found her, and because of our wicked ways, we were going to lose her. À soft click resounded from the door before à shiny shoe showed up. Azrael stood by the doorway, freshly showered a
Chapter 49- The Calm Before The StormAURELIA POV The sound of a light tap by the front door yanked me from my sleep. I hopped off my bed, careful not to trip and face-plant as I pulled on a nightgown and wrapped it tightly around my body. I was not even slightly alerted when I raced down the stairs heading towards the front door in the dead of the night. I knew it could only be one of the two people who rocked my world, or both. I never really had visitors because I had zero social life. And my cabin was tucked safely away from the city. Even the guards that were assigned to me were never visible to the eye. I just knew they were there, but never really saw them.I yanked the front door open and gave a small smile as I stared at the ball of muscles and restrained chaos, clad in black jeans and a black shirt. His wet hair danced lazily, brushing his broad shoulders, his fresh after-shave wafted in the air around us, à signal he had just jumped out of the shower. He looked so deadly
Chapter 48- Embracing ChangeAURELIA POV The following days were an absolute nightmare. The truth followed me around like a dark cloud of misfortune, refusing to let me breathe or to dwell in the delusion that my life belonged to me. I woke up, bathed, drove to work, fucked up the prototypes on repeat for days. Meryn even demoted me to counting stock and cleaning the equipment instead of doing the real production. I was useless. Utterly and painfully so. That’s how bad everything was. And Azrael?He was fucking everywhere. The office. The boardroom. The parking lot. Every fucking where. But what gutted me the most was the awkwardness between us. The tension between us was so thick it could be wrapped, packed, and shipped to the Atlantic. The proud man who commanded authority by just breathing was reduced to à fidgety mess who could only swallow his words and look at me with so much hurt and regret in his eyes that it made it hard for me to breathe. So yah. Everything else just
Chapter 47- Bile and RegretMALRIK POV Everything sucked. Every fucking thing. I didn’t need to be told, but we were going to lose her. This whole entire clusterfuck seemed to be a good idea at the beginning. But now? Not so much. Not when the very foundation of our story was built on lies and deceit. Where the fuck did we all go wrong? We were doing everything right. We followed the fucking script from the get-go. We did everything by the bloody book. Now when the hell did we fuck all this up? Was it when we started inching closer towards her? What were we supposed to do because we couldn’t stay away? She was peace and redemption wrapped in fine, smooth skin and sweet laughter. She was our mate. And we were drawn to our mate like moths to the flame. There was no denying the pull she had on us. Was it worth it?“Goddamnit.” My fist collided with a punching bag so hard it came off its hold before landing in front of me with a loud thud. I looked at the sorry thing only to realize
Chapter 46- The Second Chance I Never Had IIMy own voice was strange to my ears. My eyes averted back to my plate and studied the contents like they were something foreign. I looked up just in time to see them staring at one another, that look flashing between them like they were communicating with just eyes. Something that was starting to get on my nerves. “To be honest, Little Moon…” Azrael commenced. “We have no idea.” He added with à single shrug. I studied his handsome face, the fine lines of worry on his forehead. The man ruled the world, mortals and beasts alike. Yet he sat in my kitchen looking so nervous. Never thought I would see the day the night Azrael fucking Zephyros was
Chapter 2- The Poisoned CrownAURELIA POVAs my father’s heiress and future leader of our pack, I had stood in this same courtroom my entire life. I knew the outlay of it like I knew my name. Never once did I imagine I would be standing in it, in this manner. In the middle. Alone. Shocked. Confus

Chapter 5- Bread, Water, and RegretRONAN POVThe walk to the holding cell felt longer. My feet were unsteady beneath me, a heavy weight pulling down on my chest from the inside. Everything else sucked. The bloody council. Aurelia’s trial. Everything fucking sucked. Because for the very first tim
Chapter 3- The Enemy I CuddledAURELIA POVThe holding cell was murky. Cold. The luxurious ballgown I wore felt like useless armor that only crushed me down with its weight. The earrings I carefully picked some time this morning were somewhere on the floor. The hum of festivities continuing above
