ZEUS“You didn’t make one,” he replied matter-of-factly, as though this was entirely my fault.I stared at him in disbelief. “Okay, so why not eat at Cade’s or one of your loyal wolves’ houses? Aren’t you their Alpha? Their god? They’re practically throwing themselves at your feet for attention. I’ve seen it.”The tease slipped out before I could stop it, but I regretted it immediately. His expression darkened, a frown creasing his brow as his entire demeanor shifted.“Why are you pushing me toward others?” he asked, his tone sharper now, tinged with something I couldn’t quite place.I blinked, stunned by his sudden change

ODIN Exiting the packhouse, I strode straight into the office where Lex waited with the letter. Though young and lacking strength in battle, Lex had a sharp mind. Perfect for strategy. I often used him as my proxy in meetings where brains mattered more than brawn.   “What’s the matter?” I asked, taking my seat.   Lex stepped forward, placing the letter on my desk. “Alpha, when I went to deliver the message to the Opal Moon Pack, Alpha Mario was there.”   “Oh…” I leaned back, a smirk tugging at the corner of my lips. Mario, Alpha John’s nephew. It was his fortune to not have been John’s son; otherwise, he wouldn’t be breathing. “He could

ZEUSExiting the office, I slipped the $1000 bill securely into my pocket, carefully adding it to the small stash of bills I’d already collected. My fingers brushed against the growing pile—$3000 now. A genuine smile spread across my face. It’s growing. Day by day. For a moment, the gravity of my situation felt lighter. But… the feeling of his finger brushing against the skin of my waist was still there. I could not help but run my finger over it, his handsome face appearing in front of my eyes. “Hey!”Ekim’s voice startled me, as she jumped in front of me, grinning brightly.I couldn’t help but chuckle. “I thought you forgot about showing me arou

ODINCade’s gaze flickered between my eyes, which was fixed on the diary, and the words on the page. “Alpha, is everything alright?” he asked carefully, his tone hesitant.My thumb traced the corner of the diary absentmindedly thinking about Lynn’s words and what I had witnessed with my own eyes. Then, out of the corner of my eye, I caught sight of Ekim. She was lurking by a tree, her eyes watching the exit of the office building. Snapping the diary shut, I handed it back to Cade. “Prepare for the meeting,” I ordered, resuming my walk.“Right away,” Cade said, bowing his head slightly before hurrying off. I could hear him mind-linking the others to gather in the meeting room as he followe

ZEUSI could not recall a single day in my life when someone had saved me, because there was none. It had always been me…alone. I was my own protector. I lived by the belief that a protector cannot be protected. A protector was bound to be wounded, to bear the brunt of the battle.But for the first time, I had been protected. To top that off, the one shielding me was my kidnapper. Before I even realized what I was doing, my hand had moved of its own accord, to touch his cheek. I should have been scared. Scared of the possessiveness burning in his eyes, of the obsession that crackled like lightning between us. Instead, I found myself mesmerized, both of our lips slowly inching closer, an invisible force pulling us together.But then…“Goddess, are you two alright?”Ekim’s voice shattered the moment like glass. My eyes flew open in alarm, and I jerked back as though I’d been burned. Heart pounding, I scrambled to my feet and turned to face her, hoping she hadn’t seen what had nearly ha
