***Nora's POV*** The early morning breeze and sun caress my skin and face, drawing me out of dreamland. My eyes flickered open and adjusted to the brightness of the day. I sat up on the uncomfortable couch, stretched, and yawned. Before glancing around to find everyone in deep sleep on the couches in the living room. “ You guys shouldn’t have slept here “ Josh whispered, standing in the middle of the room with his arms crossed over his chest and a neutral expression on his face. “ Are you fine?

I had prepared myself for this battle. Even after losing over five hundred men. I have a thousand more to fight for me. Today will be the beginning of my reign. After, I kill Ryker and her mate. All the power will be mine. I smell my victory in the air. “Long time no see Ryker…at last, we met after three centuries on the battlefield. “ I said with a smug look. He scoffed “You look like shit as always. “ I laughed, brushed him off and shifted my eyes to the beautiful woman standing beside him. “so beautiful up close Nora blackwood.” ****Nora's POV*** My mate and warriors growled in reply. “Cut the chain, Derrick, and let’s get this over with.” “A...a…aaaaa Not so fast, Alpha Blackwood.
