Rain’s povHe marched towards me, crouched down, coming face to face before me as he pulled down his hood, and my stomach tightened with dread. The rumours about him were always about his cruelty and the agony he'd caused but none ever warned or prepared me for how beautiful the devil looked like.His face looked like it had been sculpted after the word perfection. The detailed outline of his jawline, and that provocative stare he wore like a garment was alluring.My heart skipped a beat as I stared at him. How can a devil be this beautiful? Kane had long dark hair which flowed down his shoulders, hazel small eyes that pierce through mine, burning into the pit of my stomach as he took a long look at me. “What is your name?” He whispered gently almost like he wasn't all the brutality he had been made up to be.I didn't answer. “Her name is Rain. She's the princess or was the princess,” Alec answered for me still standing next to us.“I see,” Kane said, looking intrigued. “Rain. Did

Kane's pov I tensed as I jumped upon Rain, my wolf shouting with unrestrained rage. My veins coursed with the power of the moon as liquid heat, my brain wild with hunger. She backed away, knocking against the cold wall of stone. Nowhere to escape. Nowhere to hide. Her chest was heaving with frightened breaths, her eyes frozen with fear as I towered over her trembling form. "Please," she whispered, hardly making a sound. The monster within me reveled in her fear. It devoured the racing heart at the base of her neck, the trembling limbs, the smell of fear. My claws lengthened, prepared to tear muscle from bone. But then—something odd happened. When my claws were inches from her face, she was no longer the same. Between us, the smell had changed, charged with something... else. My flared nostrils gathered up the smell. She gazed up at me, no longer fearful, but defiant. She lifted up her chin, baring her neck not as a signal of surrender, but of resistance. "Do it," she s

Kane's POVDreams came to me the moment I closed my eyes, as they always do. This evening, however, they were different.Bloody marble floors. Raya's vacant eyes looking up at me, accusatory even as she had never been while living. Her warm lips only a matter of hours before against my mouth, now blue and lifeless."You've failed me," said the corpse, never even opening its mouth.I tried, I begged, holding my hands up to her. I didn't know—"You were supposed to protect me," she reproached. "Now see what you've become."I stared down at my hands, watching as they transformed into claws, as black fur erupted all over my body. The metamorphosis coursed through me—not merely physical, but spiritual as well. Darkness seeped through me, corrupting all it touched."This is your punishment," Raya's body continued, sitting up from the ground now, head tilting to one side unnaturally. "It is not sufficient."She stood, still bleeding from the open wound on her chest. "You will lose what you l

I followed him through the manor's corridors, my footsteps leading me closer to the woman who had my fate in her hands. I smelled her first, even before I glimpsed her with my eyes: wildflowers and rain with a base note of a kind that was all her own. My heart pounded harder, the creature within it stirring.The ballroom fell silent as I approached, scores of pack members and visiting Alphas bowing their heads with respect. I scanned the crowd with my eyes, seeking only one face.She stood at the foot of the stairs beside Alec, midnight blue silk hugging rounded curves acquired over the past year. Black hair cascaded down her back in waves, silver claps for hairpins catching the candlelight where they secured it. Delicate chains at her throat—obviously hiding my mark from me to my disappointment, glinted as she stepped.Our gazes connected from across the room, and the creature growled its approval. She was beautiful. And she was mine.I stepped closer to her, the crowd parting around

Rain's POV I looked at him. He was staring at me. Something moved inside of me. My wolf. The angry creature moved in many directions, forgetting it was a small body she lived in. What the hell was happening? Suddenly, I heard her speak. “Mate—” It was loud and it was clear. “Mate. Alec. Mate—” It confirmed its words from the first instant and with fear in my eyes, I glanced at Alec. He still looked at me, it was as though he felt the same thing. My mouth opened. It shut and opened again, and then I asked him. “Did—did you feel that?” Alec moved. He let go of the tray, the table and was moping at me from a distance. “This can't be.” Same thing I thought. There was no way it could be. Why would the moon goddess choose to punish me this way, as though the ones I had received before now wasn't enough? “You are bound to the Alpha.” Confusion plastered on my countenance like never before. My thoughts raced in my head, many ideas running to and fro as I tried to lay my hands on
