Unknown PoVBennett and Alpha Rick stared down at the breathless rogue that was knelt before them with disdain clear on their faces.“Well?” Bennett demanded in a cold voice, “Did you complete the mission successfully or not?”“We did, sir. The majority of Alpha Ryan’s elite fighters are neutralized, but we took heavy losses during the fighting.” The rogue said mentally counting down the minutes he had left until the poison stopped his heart. He could already feel the slight tingling sensation in his muscles that showed it was starting to take effect.Bennett reached for his head and yanked his hair to lift his face to the light, sneering at the bloody mess that his face was in before shoving him backward.“And that?” He said, pointing to the rogue's face.“As I said, we took heavy losses, the elite fighters they had assembled were very capable fighters and once the initial surprise of our attack wore off, they fought with ferocity.”“So…what you’re saying is that they outclass even y

Amber’s PoVI stared blankly at Peter as he lowered his naked body on top of me and I tried to ignore the sensation of my skin crawling and the urge to vomit as his lips and hands explored every part of me under my clothes.We were the only people in the room right now and he wasn’t at all shy or repentant at the fact that I was supposedly under the influence of whatever he had drugged me with. He was clearly enjoying himself immensely as I felt him rubbing his stubby little cock all over my thigh, as he grunted in pleasure.I had thought that something like this might happen, especially with the way that I had seen him look at me during the birthday celebrations that I attended for him and Lily had been very against me coming here.But, because I was left with no other choice but to secure Ryan’s rescue, I had come along anyway, but with additional measures in place. Lilly had managed to procure an antidote to most known poisons and I had drank it before I left, although she did caut

Author's POVKelly slammed her phone on the table in anger and clenched her teeth. It had taken less than five seconds to finish reading that text, and only two to inflame her anger to boiling point.She wanted to scream and rage at the unfairness of it all, but there were people watching...her servants had already arrived to help her get ready and the last thing she needed was for them to cause a scene with their pathetic whimpering and crying.What she wanted to know was how did it all go so wrong? They had planned everything meticulously, to the point that all eventualities were covered, yet, somehow, that fucking Alpha Ryan, the Alpha King’s favorite, had still managed to screw everything up.“Luna?” One of the servants called timidly, “Come and take a seat, and let us finish doing your hair. It’s almost time to go and meet with some of the other Luna’s.”“I know what time it is,” Kelly snapped as she stormed across the bedroom and threw herself in the chair.Even as the maid brus

Amber’s PoVWhen we arrived back at the pack house, Lily was already waiting for me. Ryan got out of the car first, holding the door open for me and offering his hand to help me out, and as soon as I stepped out of the car, Lilly raced down the front steps and threw her arms around me.“Oh my Goddess, Amber! I’m so pleased you’re safe!” She exclaimed as she released me and stood back to check me over.“Things could have gone quite differently for me if you hadn’t insisted on the antidote and the wolfsbane, Lilly.” I said with a soft smile, clasping her hands in my own, “I’ll always be grateful for that.”“You did well, Lilly.” Ryan nodded gruffly, “You have good instincts…unlike my mate who appears to be entirely too trusting in my absence.”I chuckled nervously and tucked a stray strand of hair behind my ear as Tom wrapped his arm around Lilly and bent to kiss her gently.“Look, if it hadn’t been another of my father’s lies, then I had to do whatever I could to make sure you came hom

“Well that went about as well as I expected,” I snorted, kicking at the chair absent-mindedly after my father left us.“It could have been a lot worse,” Ryan shrugged as I raised an eyebrow at him.“True,” I said as a slow smirk spread across my face, “He could have tried to involve us in some underhanded scheme or…”“Or I could have ripped his throat out for daring to be so insolent to my love..my Luna,” He growled huskily as I felt myself melt under his attention.I relaxed into his arms as he chuckled and kissed the top of my head.“That would have been a bit messy though,” I said playfully, wrinkling my nose up at him, “It would also be quite unlucky to commit murder a day before the eve of our Wedding, don’t you think?”“I think that depends very much on who you ask,” Ryan snorted.I opened my mouth to reply but just then, there was a knock on the door and after Ryan called to enter, Tom strode in with a grim expression on his face.“Is everything okay?” Ryan asked, instantly on
