Without another word, Jacob started to drag her away. Emily’s eyes widened in fear and she continued to struggle from his grasp, still trying to scream despite his hand gripping her mouth. Tears streamed down her cheeks as she punched him in the arms and chest. But no, it wasn’t enough to defend herself from the devil of her past.She sought help from her wolf, pleaded with it to help her, and let her borrow its strength so she could save her life. Her wolf was trembling in fear within her, but then still nodded at her."Argh!" she screamed when she felt the sudden movements of her bones, as if those were trying to extend and reshape."What the fuck is going on with you?" Jacob stopped and looked at her in confusion.Emily began to run out of breath, her eyes turning a misty green ringed with silver. The pain was excruciating, but she knew she had to endure it. Her body slowly turned from being a human to a silver-white wolf. She was tired enough to navigate, so her wolf took cover an

The gentle hum of the water droplets was like music to her ears, soothing her soul and lulling her into a sense of calm. Emily closed her eyes and took a deep breath, letting the sound of the shower fill her senses and transport her to a place of serenity.Behind her was Lucian, who joined her in the shower. She could feel his gaze on her, but the man did not say anything and only helped her wash up the aftermath of what they’d done a while ago."You are forgiven," Emily uttered, feeling the heat on both of her cheeks.Lucian gently rubbed the shower gel on her back. Each stroke made her breathing harder, and so she had to calm her freaking heart all over again."Am I now?"She nodded. "Yes. You did what I asked you to do.""Hmm…" Lucian sounded a little amused or something. "So sex can wipe your anger away?"‘I guess so,’ she thought, but she had no strength to voice it out. Instead, she answered, "It was a spur of the moment thought. That’s what I wanted, and you wanted it too."Emi

Lucian approached Emily's bed slowly, not making any noise at all, as his wife was sleeping peacefully. He looked at her and felt Argus' possessive growl, as if the beast inside him didn't like the idea of Lucian staring at his own Luna."You're acting weird," Argus said irritably.Still gazing at the little wolf on the bed, Lucian chose to ignore the jealous beast and leaned down to hold the blanket, then gently tucked Emily in. She moaned, and her forehead creased, but then seconds later, she was back to her calm breathing again.He had no idea why, but he felt something pulling him to caress her hair. And so he did, before he shut his eyes and forced himself to stand up properly, taking one more glance at her before finally leaving her bedroom."Caught you peeking again," Laura said, holding a cup of tea and grinning from ear to ear. His twin sister was leaning her back against the marble railings of the stairs and eyeing him maliciously."I'm glad you're early," he stated, not giv

Something was wrong. As he looked out of the car window, he felt a weight in his chest and couldn't quite put his finger on what was bothering him. His mind seemed to be stuck back at the mansion, and he couldn't understand why. Argus, his Lycan spirit, snarled at him in his mind, sensing his unease and clearly not happy about it. Lucian tried to ignore the beast and focus on the road ahead. The drive from the pack’s territory to North Carolina took nearly half a day, and it was already mid-afternoon by the time they arrived at the grand hotel owned by the Alpha King of werewolves, who hosted this year’s annual conference. "Which pack do you represent?" inquired one of the security guards. Lucian's lips curved into a smirk as he took off his black aviator glasses. "Lycan blood," he replied, his voice low, yet full of confidence. The two guards visibly recoiled at the mention of his pack, fear evident in their expressions. Lucian was known as the infamous Lycan King, feared even b

Emily blinked in surprise as she swung open the door to the guest room. A wave of stench hit her nostrils like a brick wall, and she wrinkled her nose in disgust.Laura and Camille were sprawled on the white floor, completely passed out. A small smile crept onto Emily's lips as she surveyed the scene. It was almost amusing to see the normally poised and elegant female Lycans reduced to this state. Her sister-in-law and the Beta's mate may have been gorgeous, but they were still capable of making a mess.Glancing at the clock on the wall, Emily realized it was already past ten o'clock. The trio had downed countless canned beers, and would have continued their drinking spree if Alpha Cain hadn't called it a night. Compared to him, who still managed to walk properly and only looked flustered because of his reddened cheeks, Laura and Camille were a total disaster. Emily couldn't help but wonder how they would feel in the morning."Laura, Camille, wake up. Go sleep on the bed."After tucki
