Ian was consumed by his anger which made his moves sloppy making Nate prevail.The pain of betrayal cut deep as I stood paralyzed on my feet watching them throw punches at each other.In my moment of distraction, Darren took the time to choke me with his elbow from behind.The sand under our feet and the trees seem to be fighting for us, as Darren's men would trip out of nowhere, their feet became clumsy and whenever they got tossed against the tree, they found it hard to get out of the small bush at the foot of the tree trunk.I jammed my elbow hard into his upper abdomen and chest, but he never let go instead, his grip tightened considerably.Extending my claws, I slashed his left eye, his hands instantly came off as he howled in pain doubling over.I rammed my elbow into his back which wa

CARLY WOODS POV "I have something I want to show you."Jace was behind me, his hands snaked around my waist as he whispered, his breath tingled my ear and his morning voice did things to my southern region. My lips curled up coyly, leaning into his hard frame."I wonder what that could be.""You'll have to find out for yourself my little omega.""You know Selva can take down an entire pack." "I know, but you'll always be my little omega plus I know you love it.""You caught me but it's only fair I have you mine." I tapped my chin with a fake pondering face. "How about cutie?" I had my best cute face on as I turned in his arms."Don't even think about it. There's nothing cute about all these." I pouted as he gestured to himself."I don't like it either, how about snuggles? I love the sound of that already.""Whatever makes you happy love." He dipped his head and connected our lips in a toe-curling kiss.It's been six days since the Gaia Ritual, six days after the Outlanders' attack.

He deserves his happily ever after."Why?" "You brought it on yourself.""It's my fault my best friend betrayed me?"Nate was awaiting trial in the holding cell. I wanted to know his reasons for committing treason."Best friend? Everyone knows who filled that position in your life. It should have been me." I had a feeling this had nothing to do with who he th

Chapter 224 (Final Chapter ) - TOO SMALL

JACE BALDWIN'S POV Nate's lifeless body sprawled awkwardly on the floor, the brown T-shirt he had on soaked with the red fluid of his blood. People got busy snapping away at the body, and murmurs slowly erupted from the people. "What are we dealing with?" Ian had his usual blank look as he and two pack detectives stopped before me. "Murder." A red-haired female detective with upturned eyes responded while shoving a notepad into her pants pocket. "I'm Detective Miller." "Murder?" I looked up at the balcony and back at the body, his back was against the ground. It could've been an accident, or suicide. I couldn't believe the woman I'd once loved was capable of taking another's life. "Mr. Moore was seen pushed over the balcony rail by the house resident Miss Addison Cobbler at an estimated time of 4:22 PM. According to one of the witnesses from the other building, and the evidence gathered, the two were arguing over something when Miss Cobbler knocked him 60 feet down." A

CARLY WOODS POV "How did you three meet?"Everyone's attention shifted from Stephanie to Allison, Kyle, and me. A smug smirk stretched my lips at his words as the memories which were now amusing as I thought of that day."She spat into my hot chocolate." Jace growled and threw a fake glare at a smiling Alli on the opposite side of the table. Everyone except Ian looked horrified at my words which made Allison pout.

I wasn't surprised she invited my friends and me because the woman had outdone herself in trying to get on my good side.Mrs. Baldwin who was in an elegant blank evening dress sat at the head of the table, Jace took the seat by her right and Ian her left.
