“Beta Aristo!” The three girls turned to the man taking up a large part of the doorway. Avalon’s tight grip on my hair loosened before she finally let go, taking a step away from me.“What are you doing here?” It was Felicity that spoke this time. She took a step towards him, pushing out her chest and tucking a strand of her hair behind her ear. “Were you looking for me?” She turned with a small triumphant look to the other girls before she focused her full attention on the Beta.“Why would I be looking for you?” He turned away from her after a fleeting look of disgust crossed his face. “You –“ He brushed past Felicity who was reaching for him to turn to Avalon. “You have a lot of audacity.” He reached out and wrapped a hand around her throat. “Do you know who you have carelessly put your hands on?” His voice dropped low and I realized then why he was Cahir’s Beta.Cahir and Aristo looked and acted like polar opposites. While my mate was dark both in looks and temperament, Aristo had

Aristo kept me company in Cahir’s suite but then night arrived and he had to prepare for the night party since he missed the official one. The initiation would start in thirty minutes and all pack members were required to attend but I didn’t feel like it and I couldn’t be damned to attend a ceremony for Kade.“When will – When will he be back?” I asked Aristo as he made to take his leave.For the last two hours, I waited for Cahir’s return but there was no sign of him anywhere. My wolf felt his absence and it made her go silent. The dread of what would happen with him was enough to tire her out with worry.“He is using this visit to settle some things with the Alpha of Blue Blood pack. Don’t worry, he will be back.”The Blue Blood pack were the closest to us here. It irked me that while I was waiting with bated breath for him, he was out conducting business. Did he not want me or what? If he was going to reject me, the least he could do was spare me the anxiety of waiting for his verd

I fell asleep after Cahir left although I spent a full hour tossing and turning and wondering what he was doing, where he was and things too explicit to recount. The sensation of freezing water on my face jolted me from a dreamless sleep.“Holy –“ I gasped as I jumped upright, wiping water from my face as I came up. “What the hell?” My eyes focused on Felicity with her hand on her waist and a bottle of water in her other hand. “Why did you do that?” Asena snarled at the girl.Looking at her made me remember Rena. Rena had been an innocent and harmless wolf that only wanted to protect me but Felicity cost her her life – the life of my only friend in the world. I wished that instead of healing, the goddess had gifted me with the ability to shoot lasers from my eyes. This bitch standing in front of me deserved to be burnt to a crisp.“Get out of that bed!” She shrieked, coming to pull at my hair. Anticipating the move, I shifted to the middle of the bed and considering its size, she coul

“How can an ordinary omega have the kiss of the goddess?” Alpha Warren laughed. For the first time, a look of panic crossed his face. He did not have the situation under wraps like he always did and he knew.So this was the reason Warren and my father teamed up with Kade to keep me in this rotten pack. I should have known they would never be sorry for how they treated me. I should have known that it was never my place to determine my value to them. They would treat me as they liked until they decide I was worth more than the way I was treated. After toiling and labouring for these people without ever receiving a proper thank you, they had found another use for me and did not want to let me go.“There is no need to deny it,” Kade said, cutting his father off. His lips curled as he spoke to Cahir. “Sihana is my mate. I may have rejected her in the past but the rejection isn’t complete so there is no way I can let you have her.”He had a five o'clock shadow, eyes that desperately needed

*CAHIR*... I – I reject you!I slammed my fists against the desk and pushed away from it. Those words – Those unsure words spoken with fear and hatred made my heart feel funny I rubbed a fist across my chest in annoyance and against my better judgement, I moved to the room where my mate was curled up in bed.My mate.At twenty-seven, I had already given up the idea of ​​a woman tying me down. She-wolves were a hassle I never wanted to take on but this one –She had tears staining her face as she slept. Her brows furrowed and her trembling bottom lip stuck out. I brushed her hair back and pulled the covers over her.“Please, let her go –” She choked, her eyes tightening as she whimpered. “Rena is innocent –” She turned and a choked sob escaped her lips. Then tears wet her lashes as she grew more distressed.Fuck.What was it about this woman that made me want to shoulder her burdens? Looking at her so small in the bed, curled up and crying, I ached to find every and anyone who had eve
