Rhea’s POV“Goddess, I’ve never seen something like that before! You’re amazing Davina!” I said in complete awe and admiration of this girl’s ability to do magic like no other warlock I have ever seen before.Adrian, Alec, Derek, and me were standing at the edge of the pack’s territory where Davina just performed a protection circle around the whole border. According to her and Alec, it will keep everyone that crosses the territory; who’s not a part of this pack, completely human. That means no shifting, no speed, no power, and no healing. Completely mundane. I almost doubted it until I saw it with my own eyes when Alec who’s not part of his brother’s pack tried to shift and couldn’t. Even though this is technically his childhood pack and he was a part of it for eighteen years, the moment Adrian took his father’s place as alpha and he did not submit to him, he was out of the pack since he has his own pack to rule as its alpha for the past ten years.Davina was a lot younger than I exp

Rhea’s POVWe stood facing each other in the middle of the room as he looked at me with a serious look on his face.“If I’m going to try this with you, you need something called a safe word. It’s a special word you say to me loud and clear when you feel like you cannot continue whatever it is we’re about to experience. You say the word only when you had enough but not after you push yourself way over the limit. You say it, everything stops. Promise me you will use it the second you need to” he asked firmly.Anticipation mixed with a trickle of fear of the unknown coursed through me.“I promise”“choose your safe word”I gave it a little thought, unsure what I should pick.“It can’t be Adrian, or stop, because you might say those on instinct but not fully mean to safe word me” he clarified.I nodded my head in understanding.“Cherry, that’s my safe word” I said with a soft smile.He smiled back at me approvingly.“If you say Cherry, it all stops I promise” he said tenderly.“I trust yo

Rhea’s POVHe smiled at me warmly but asked carefully “I know you loved it. That’s the only reason I kept going. But despite that, I still want to make sure of something. Did I hurt you in a way that made you remember what happened to you in the past? Please be honest with me”“Not for a single moment, Adrian. Never. I truly loved the power you exerted on me, it turned me on very much, and I’m pretty sure you saw the evidence of that” I said a little shyly.“So you’re saying we can do this every now and then?” he asked curiously with a hint of desire shining in his eyes.I could see how much he really enjoyed that experience with me, how much he loved me submitting myself fully to him, and how much he enjoyed making me come on his own terms.But I could also tell he would never do something I’m not comfortable with even if he himself liked it, and for that, My love for him surged inside me harder at that moment.“Oh yeah, I think even your pain is addicting to me, alpha” I said playfu

Adrian’s POVEverything was ready.This is going to be the night we rid the world of the most evil rogue alpha in the region along with many of his evil, vile followers.It was such an impactful moment in our pack history that will set the pace for the next generation to come after us.All of my fighters plus Alec’s were standing behind me and Rhea, prepared for the moment the rogues will portal through to end this darkness once and for all.Our training was over, this was the real deal now. This was the real and most important fight we will ever go through and every single person was prepared and ready for it. They were prepared to fight with honor, they were ready to kill and not be killed.We were standing at the edge of my territory, silent and waiting.Rhea held my hand and squeezed it tightly, causing me to look over at her.She was gazing at me with a mixture of nervousness and determination.I squeezed her hand back and told her firmly “We will win”She nodded her head once ti

Adrian’s POVAlec’s scream of agony got embedded into my soul.It took us five seconds to snap out of our paralyzing terror, both Lennox and I. Five seconds where dread was coursing through me at the thought of losing my brother forever. I could never recover if that happened. Alec was more than a brother, he was like my other half. He was the only family I had left, the closest one.I shifted my eyes on the girl that made my heart hurt with so much agony. She couldn’t be more than eighteen, maybe even younger. But the look on her face is what baffled me the most. It was filled with venom and direct hate towards Alec. As if this wasn’t about winning a battle on behalf of her rogue alpha, this was personal. She was targeting him specifically. Like she knew exactly who he was even though Alec never spoke before the battle began.When one of the two men surrounding him moved to kick Alec in the face making him drop on his back; making sure the stick that was halfway embedded through his
