Julius almost sobs with the pain that tears through his chest. A small whimper leaves his mouth, and he turns to go back to the tunnel.He had waited too long. Romeo had given up waiting. He shakes so much that he can barely walk. Between the knife, he felt stuck in his chest and his eyes stinging from the tears he was trying to hold back, he could barely breathe. He needed to get out of there and finally cry or I just collapsed on the floor. When he reached Lycaon, the wolf would collapse… or he die.Romeo turns his face to the window, and when he sees Julius, he thinks he is still dreaming, but Julius shakes so much that it makes Romeo's senses wake up.- Julius? – he says as quietly as he can.Julius stops but doesn't turn around.- Julius? – Romeo repeats, lifting the blankets and getting out of bed.In less than 1 second, Romeo's arms surround Julius' waist and his forehead rests on the strong back of the man he loves and feared he would never see again.Julius still doesn't move

When “the wolves” left the bar, Baltazar couldn't help but look back and observe the two brothers. His sense told him that there was someone strange, but he couldn't put his finger on it.He gets on the bike and all his companions follow him. They set off and started the route that took them a few miles away.The whole way, Balrazar tried to find an explanation for his distrust towards those two, especially towards the youngest. His rogue sixth sense, which had kept him and his companions alive, had never deceived him. If he felt there was something wrong there, it was guaranteed that there was.After some time following the road, they turn onto a dirt track.A mile later, they arrive at their destination. A small farm that they bought and affectionately call home.At the entrance to the fence that defended the size of the farm, it was written: “MC the Wolves”. Once through the gates, they were in “The Rogue Pack”.Baltazar parks in front of the two-story house where 2 members are on

- Is Shane here? – she says looking around.- no. I came with Lycaon.Her eyes show disappointment.- What happened? How did you end up here?- It's a long story.- Let's get out of here before the vampire comes back, and then you tell us that long story.Julius uses all his strength and breaks the rusty iron ring that holds Lorena's wrist. Then he helps her to get up and the 3 of them walk to the entrance of the cave. She pauses for a moment, and Julius frowns. But she ends up following the two werewolves until they move away from the cave to a safe distance into the forest.- How… - Julius begins to ask.- I don't know how it's possible, but that's my father.- What? – Lycaon says. – But wasn’t your father killed by nocturnes?- He was. I don't understand either. I've never heard of a nocturne transforming a human, but my father is now a vampire. And despite being nocturnal he still manages to have self-control, which no nocturnal has.- You have to tell Romeo about this. Maybe he ha

- The only thing I know is that it seems like you're doing it on purpose. Or maybe your brain has already turned to jelly from all the spiked alcohol you've been drinking for years.- Goddess, woman! No one stops that mouth of yours. That's why you live in this exile, alone. – Skyler fought his anger by walking around the house.- Skyler, what's the point of you being there, throwing out escape plans, if none of them show the slightest viability of success? Romeo and Julius need a foolproof escape plan. Much more now that instead of a plan for 2, it's a plan for 4.. And one of them is human. She can't escape like the others. We really need to find a way to make them disappear from the face of the earth. A place where not even nocturnals dare to enter. We need to put our brains together and think. No more insults and fights.Skyler stops and looks at Delilah.- What did you just say?- I said we need to put our brains together and think. No more insults and fights.- No, before that.

- Do I still have time to dig my own grave?Julius and Shane laugh.They remain silent for a few seconds until Reed asks:- Is that why Vlad is after you?Julius hesitates but nods.- I'm surprised that your father doesn't know anything. They are enemies, but since he can't catch you, he could let your father know. Was a way to destroy you in your father's eyes.- Vlad is not interested in that.- There's no logic in your you just said. Your mate is just a vampire. Unless... - he looks Julius in the eyes.“here we go” – Julius's wolf and Shane says simultaneously in his head.- Unless it's someone very important to Vlad and he doesn't want to put him in that situation. Who is the vampire Julius?- That doesn't matter. I've already told you too much. I don't even know if I trust you.- Screw that. Who is he, Julius?Julius keeps his mouth shut and Reed squints again. He suddenly tilts his head, as if he had read something in Julius's face and he becomes distressed.- It's the prince, i
