(Kaeleigh’s POV)I stood outside Zoey’s room, willing myself to knock. I was nervous. I was never good at talking to people, but eventually I took a deep breath and knocked. And nothing. Oh! I turned to walk back to my room when I heard an excited squeal. “Kaeleigh!” Zoey had just walked round the corner with three other beautiful women. “You came. I wasn’t sure if you would.” She ran up and pulled me into a hug. “Girls, this is Kaeleigh,” she said excitedly as she swiped her card and dragged me into her room. I could see the other women exchange looks as they followed us in. Her room was, well, pink, like lots of pink, everywhere!Zoey introduced me to the three women. The petite blonde who looked like sh

  (Kaeleigh’s POV)   I made my way off the stage as soon as it was considered polite to do so. I wanted to get away from all the staring. I made it halfway across the dance floor when I heard a familiar voice.   “Kaeleigh.” I looked back to see Chase following me. I sighed and stopped and waited for him.    “You did amazing,” he said once he had reached me. I smiled in response to be polite but felt conscious that people were watching us.   “Thank you,” I said quietly, and he went to reach out to me, but I stepped back and he dropped his hand.   “I wanted to ask if I could see you later,” he said and rubbed his hand on neck, “Maybe tomorrow?” I hesitated briefly but remembered that I said I would give him a chance, so I smiled and nodded.   “Okay,” I said and then looked around. “Are you not staying at the party?” I as

(Unknown POV)I was standing in the shadows at the back of the great hall. I hated these events; I hated these people, and most of all, I hated this pack. In the four years since I had been assigned to the Dark Moon pack, my hatred had only grown stronger. They acted all high and mighty with the fake Alpha King sitting on his throne of lies every day. But I had to push aside my hatred. I had to ensure I had the trust of the pack. I had a mission, a duty. I was here to watch. Watch for weaknesses in the defences, and more importantly, watch to make sure the curse runs its course. I had to make sure that that pigheaded Alpha heir Chase didn’t complete the mate bond. They had got close once. He had a girlfriend, not his fated mate, but that didn’t matter, not to him. No, he was very happy to take a chosen mate, without thinking she could be someone else’s fated mate, the selfish prick. We had taken

(Kaeleigh POV)But the impact never came.There was a rush and a loud crash and I opened my eyes and a bigger wolf, also blond but more of a honey blond, had a struggling Adelaide wolf by the throat. This all happened in less than a second, but I could have sworn years went by.“Submit now, Adelaide, or I will authorise him to put you down permanently,” the Alpha commanded in his powerful voice. That’s when I noticed that the Beta no longer stood beside him. I looked at the two wolves and realised where the second wolf had come from, silently reminding myself to buy the Beta a drink or something to thank him for his quick reflexes. The smaller Adelaide wolf still struggled against his hold, her eyes on me and her teeth bared. “I said SUBMIT AND SHIFT NOW!” the Alpha boomed again. I was frozen in my place, Adelaide’s eyes were still on me. I watched as they

(Jensen’s POV)Shit, I was late for dinner. I checked the time on my phone, 7:08pm, before slipping it back into the pocket of my dark grey jeans. Training had been extra intense today. Commander Stanton had been in a bad mood after finding out about the Fischers. He’d cornered me afterwards to find out if the punishment for Brandt had been justified. We rarely use the chains. It’s a cruel punishment, and I know that Alpha Daniel doesn’t come to that punishment lightly. It leaves the punished in the cold dark dungeon, shackled with silver and wolfsbane coated chains. They are unable to shift, to mind link, to heal or to even communicate with their own wolf. They are essentially human. I told Stanton that after what Brandt did to Kaeleigh; he was lucky to still be breathing, and th
