Water!Was my first thought as my eyes flew open. My eyes darted around my surroundings and ended at the worried brown eyes that stared back at me. “Oh heavens,” Marian placed her hand over her chest, and I blinked multiple times to make sense of the situation. I looked down at my body, and my eyes widened in surprise. I sat in a large tub of cold water in the restroom while my skin burned and itched. I parted my lips to try at words, but my voice came out croaked. What happened to me? What is going on?So many questions, but I couldn’t ask. “Honey, take it easy,” Marian dipped her hand into the tub, scooped some water into her hand, and poured it on my face. “You need to tell him!” Soph’s voice came from the bedroom. I whipped my head to the opened bathroom door, where I heard Soph clearly.“She’s on heat! At this rate, she’s going to die if something’s not done,” she paused. “Don’t give me that! You know he’s the only one that can do something about this!” Soph’s voice was str

Rune.The moon goddess didn’t take my life as I requested. Instead, she gave me health. Chris had estimated that my recovery would take at least a week, but on the second day, I had already started speaking, and by the fourth day, I was almost perfectly fine. Almost, because Zarah was still not responding to me. When I told Chris about it, he suggested letting her be because Alpha Kane’s negligence hurt her more than anything. Zarah probably didn’t even know we almost died from wolfsbane, which was entirely the only reason we survived, he told me. Without my wolf, I was almost purely human, and wolfsbane does not deal with humans the same fate as wolves.I returned to the pack house the night before with Soph’s help. I had not seen her in the medical house since the day I woke up, and it seemed as though she was forced into staying away from me, as she hinted when she arrived. But she swore to see me today, so I was waiting for her. I had a lot of questions I needed answers to, questio

Kane.“How dare you disrespect me? I am your Alpha,” I ground the words out between my teeth, fingers tightening around her neck, but she didn’t move. Her brown eyes were full of life, pain and strength I’d never noticed before. She didn’t back away or beg for me to stop. “Keep going, and you’ll really kill her!” Ky yelled out in anger. I paused, surprised at his outburst. Ky was more bloodthirsty and violent; he’d never back away from a fight or blatant show of disrespect, which was what our mate just displayed. “Kane! Let her go!” He growled when I didn’t stop. Her eyes turned glassy, and I felt her pulse slow down under my grip. I could tell she was almost out of breath, but fuck it if the smouldering fire in her eyes did not arouse me. Her nearness tingled my senses, and the need to lay her flat on her back and fuck that anger and disrespect out of her threatened my entire being. I knew the effect of her scent on me, but it intensified, driving me insane. I had my fingers aroun

Rune.“Confirmed by who? Who said I was dead?” Rachael took a step back. No, several steps back with Jummy right beside her, exchanging panicked glances. “It was all the pack could talk about for days,” she rushed the words. “No names were mentioned,”“I’m not dumb, Rune. I am capable of putting two and two together. You were the only out-of-place wolf in the pack house,” she folded her arms and smirked.“And from the way people spoke about it, everyone could tell it wasn’t an omega that died. You had no reason to be there, so it was easy to think Alpha Kane got bored of you and decided to end your miserable life,” she scoffed and flattened out the nonexistent creases on her white sundress that exposed way more than her long creamy legs. She took a step forward.“Now that you’re here, let me ask you,” she took another step forward, her dark eyes digging holes into my skin. “What the hell are you still doing in the pack house?” One more step and she’d be in my face. I took a step b

Rune.“GET YOUR FILTHY HANDS OFF HER!” I’d heard that line before, and the moment it was uttered, it changed my life… for the worse. I couldn’t stop the burst of laughter at the irony. The arms around me tightened even harder and even though I couldn’t breathe well, it felt nice to be held like this. I looked up at the person holding me and saw deep black eyes and red hair. I blinked. I didn’t notice the lanky wolf had such an attractive face. Another giggle broke out of me. He smelled like mint on a cold night. I liked it.It must’ve been the alcohol in my system that made me reach out for his face and trace the line of his jaw. Red Hair’s eyes softened, and a little smile tugged at his strawberry-coloured lips. “Woah,“Fucking hell!” I heard another angry outburst before I pulled away from Red Hair and into the familiar musky scent. Angry green eyes stared down at me with tendrils of his black hair covering some of it. Another wolf and an even more attractive face. I smiled. “W
