Jaxon’s POVWe pull up to what looks like an abandoned building. "You sure this is the place?" I ask Melanie."This is where Ayla said it was."I simply hum.Like we can trust anything that witch says. "I know what you're thinking, but this place is consistent to what their warehouses look like," Mel murmurs.Suddenly, an Omega emerges from the house dressed in a tuxedo. His eyes widen as he recognizes me through the window.I roll it down and give him a cold stare. "Do we have a problem?" I ask, my tone dripping with indifference.He swallows hard and stammers, "Of course not, Alpha Jaxon. I just don't believe you were expected.""Last minute invitation from Alpha Carter.""Of course. May I park your car, Alpha?"The quiver in his voice bothers me, but this is the part I must play today, channeling my inner Alpha Damon.If I make him piss himself by the end of the night, I know I'm doing it correctly."You may." I get out of the driver's seat and walk around to open Mel's door. She

Mel’s POVI sit in what I assume you would call a lobby as I wait for Jaxon to re-emerge from the room. As more time goes by, I begin to grow anxious. What if Alpha Kellan is holding him hostage in there? What if he somehow figured out why we're really here? Maybe inviting Alpha Philip was a mistake. What if he betrayed us and sided with Kellan?I've tried mind-linking him a few times, but I get nothing back. Anything can happen down here, and there's no way to contact our pack for help.At this point, there's a chance we're utterly fucked.All of a sudden, Jaxon storms out of the room, his face filled with an indiscernible expression, but I can sense his panic.Something's wrong, but at least he's alive and leaving at his own will."Come on, let's go," Jaxon insists, grabbing my arm and hurrying down the hallway. I wonder what the hell is going on, but I know I can't ask him until we're safely away from here."Good luck and catch up with you soon," Kellan shouts after us, his siniste

Mel's POVIs the power nausea? Because that's all I'm feeling right now.I feel it, Kira whispers in my head.What? And where the hell have you been? I demand.My head has definitely been feeling a little too spacious lately.Your emotions are burying it. Concentrate and you can feel it too. It's there, waiting to be unleashed. As I close my eyes, my mind becomes empty. Suddenly, an unfamiliar power pulsates through me until it radiates through my entire being. It's both a terrifying and exhilarating sensation. It's filling me with a sense of invisibility, like I can do anything, even single-handedly defeat an entire army."I-I can feel it," I gasp, my eyes widening in astonishment.I don't miss the satisfaction on her face. "So, it's decided, you're coming with me. Dusk will lead, and Rubeus and Jaxon will stay here until the Alphas decide to reveal themselves."Jaxon snarls. "The fuck she will!""It's okay, Jaxon," I say, trying to calm him down. His eyes, a fierce combination of s

Jaxon's POVGroup after group is sent through until we're down to the recruits. I feel a tight knot in my stomach, thinking about anything happening to my warriors. But I know I have to stay positive, confident, and unwavering in my belief that they can do this. It's a promise I hold onto with all my heart. There's just this nagging sensation in the back of my mind that we're about to be thrown a curveball, and surprisingly, it isn't Shadow. He's tuned in on Melanie's emotions, searching for any signs of distress.Although Rubeus is focused on listening to Dusk, he looks at me when I call his name. "Melanie told me what you said a while back. Be honest with me, is Ayla's final objective to hurt her in any way?" I demand.He looks me in the eyes. "No.""Then, why tell her not to trust you?""Ayla rescued me, so I owe her my loyalty. If she asked me to do something to Melanie, I don't know if I could refuse. I haven't always been the best at that. The last time Ayla told me not to inter

Mel’s POVAyla's blade digs deeper into my thigh, and although I know Jaxon can feel the pain too, I do my best to downplay it. Nina's howls echo in my mind, but I bite my cheek to suppress the urge to scream.How is Jaxon handling this so well? I feel like I'm about to pass the fuck out! "What are you doing, Ayla?" I hiss, frozen in place since she also has a dagger held to my throat."I will create a new world for us. I will be its ruler, and you will stand beside me, seeing into the hearts of my subjects. I will never be betrayed again!" she proclaims, loud enough for everyone to hear."Release her!" Jaxon growls. With his attention diverted, Kellan seizes the chance to escape, shifting and toppling him to the ground. I watch helplessly as he forces my mate to kneel and presses his sharp claws to his throat. "Should I kill him now or later?" he asks, glancing up at Ayla.What the hell is going on? She...asked him to do this?This is a betrayal that’ll never be forgiven. Ayla must
