Asher’s P.O.V Maybe the wicked do find rest. As the sun dipped lower, casting a golden hue over the horizon, I found myself at the edge of the world, or so it seemed. The grains of sand felt cool and comforting under my fingertips, yet I still found them twitching…towards her. Watching Anna with the kids as they’d played by the line where the water met the sand, the laughter bubbling out of them like water out of a faucet, a primal urge roared in my chest. My wolf, strained against its bonds, trying to push out and take my skin. Then Omar would howl into the sky! They were mine, these tiny pups, with her smile and my eyes. The truth I had swallowed a thousand times like a bitter pill was that I needed them, as much as they needed me. Since I got to know them, it just felt like every bit of myself that was missing was once whole. Five years. Five years of throwing off a marriage to the strongest Luna in the Kingdom. Who knew it all built up into this moment...this single moment whe

Anna’s P.O.V“Momma! Daddy made us pancakes today!” Ivan screamed at the top of his lungs as soon as I stepped into their room. Their nurse was downstairs, getting milk to bring up to them and I wanted to spend time alone with my babies because I was gone all morning.“Really?” I smiled, surprised Alpha Asher could cook, even if were just pancakes. I moved to the edge of their bed. Seeing me, Ivan and Evan quickly moved into a single bed so they could sit next to me.“It was very delicious.” Evan quipped quietly and I pinched his cheek. My heart swelled a little as I did that. This was because my babies weren’t sick anymore. Yes, they still had to undergo a surgery, but they were healthy. There was a beautiful pink color in their cheeks and their eyes were bright. “But Ivan told daddy you can’t make pancakes and daddy said he also can’t make sandwiches! You both are even!”I chuckled lightly and held their hands. “What else did you do today?”Evan pulled his hand away, jumped back int

Anna’s P.O.V My jaw fell open in shock when Sen pulled the limousine to a stop in front of a glimmer hotel that shone like a beacon in the night sky. In front of the hotel was a long red carpet and the entrance was filled with hundreds, if not thousands of reporters. I could see some actual human celebrities alighting from their luxuries cars, as well as powerful Lycans and vampires who all masked their supernatural auras with magic. Though they exuded the Lycan’s natural confidence and dominance, they looked just like any other human, same went for the vampires too. I could only tell because well, I might not have a wolf but I wasn’t just a human. West-wide truly was a fucking paradise where everyone could co-exist. “Do you need water?” Asher’s smooth voice broke into my palpitating heart and I flinched. This was too much. Tony didn’t tell me it was something as intense at this. I didn’t belong in places like this. I belonged back in Asher’s pack, burying my face into the ground as

Anna’s P.O.V“Rose!” I drew in a large gulp of air as I snapped back to reality. Eyes wide with fear, I glanced down at my body, checking for blood, but not even a single scratch was on my skin. My eyes darted around my surroundings and my breathing slowed as I realized, I was still on the rooftop and the entire accident had been something like a vision. Oh goddess, I almost crumpled on the floor, clenching my fist to hold on tight. I had died in that hallucination. My babies…they would be without a mother. Tears stung my eyes and I let one roll down my cheek. There was no way I would survive something like that. But why did I think about death? Something in me told me there was more to it than meets the eye.There was one thing that happened to me two times in the past. Two different occasions where I’d zoned out of a conversation, gripped in the vision my mind was torturing me with. Only that after the vision, something bad always happens. It might not occur the exact way it did in

Asher’s P.O.VAs the door locked behind me, I took in a shuddering breath, and still, the tightness in my chest didn’t ease. Gritting my teeth, I slammed my fist into the wall next to me, causing the needle from the IV to sink in further. White-hot pain streaked behind my lids and I bit back a groan, gasping silently. The pain dug its roots deep into the barely healed bullet wound on my chest and down the entire length of my arm to my fingertips. Fuck. Crimson spilled from the back of my hand and I watched it with increasing rage.What the heck was I doing? I had tried to fight my desire but there was no denying that I felt something for Black Rose. My wolf tingled when she was near. Anna on one hand was the mother of my children and even though it was within my power, I couldn’t separate the boys from her. They loved her so much and her absence would badly impact their lives. Shit would hit the roof if in the future; they discovered that I was the one who stripped her of her maternal
