PRESENT DAY…KAILIN BLACKWOODKailin was wrapped in fear. He tried not to show it, but as the image of the scene outside and thoughts of Aspen’s death ran through his mind, he became weakened in front of the Lycan Queen.And she instantly caught on, and that caused her lips to form a smirk.She retraced her steps and said, “Don't fight this. Just say yes to being my puppet, and we can all live as happily as possible.” Her right hand pressed her waist. “And if you are a good wolf, I might give you a glimpse of what it means to have the elixir of everlasting life.”Kailin’s eyes narrowed within his chaotic thoughts. “The elixir? That’s what you are after?”“It is one of the things I am after,” she replied, her voice annoyingly more pitchy. “I still have a lot to cross off my want-to-do list. But my focus right now is you, Kailin Blackwood.” Her lips crashed in

KAILIN BLACKWOODThe next day arrived, and Kailin’s heart weighed heavier. Greatly depressed, he pushed himself out of bed and walked to the only window in the room to get rid of the stuffiness that enveloped him. But as he stuck his head out of the window, the saddening view of the land greeted him, and the state of his heart worsened.He certainly needed to do something about the suffering in the country. He had no right to expect his people to endure till he had clarity on what to do about the situation at hand.But what could he do?While waiting for Rolis and Ezra to carry out their plans, there had to be something he could lay his hands on.Perhaps, he could search for a way to reduce the Lycan Queen’s powers. Or maybe he could find a way to ensure that staying in that building would no longer diminish his powers. If not those options, perhaps he could start to chase the hope that Aspen was alive. Surely, there would be traces left in the bui

KAILIN BLACKWOODKailin didn’t get the chance to feel betrayed. The moment a portion of the crowd lunged at him, he was forced out of his position. He picked the fastest race of his life while the loud laughter of the Lycan Queen teased and tortured him. He had no idea where he could hide, so he kept running and running till the cries of his desperate people became very distant.His wolf was quiet, Kailin could not feel its powers and that made things worse. So, that moment easily became more hellish than he could handle.He stumbled a few times and quickly started to run out of strength after many minutes had passed. When he realised he could not run anymore, he stopped, his throbbing eyes instantly searching for where he could hide himself to regain some power. So, when he found a small hut whose loneliness beckoned to him, he rushed to the building and shut the door.Seconds later, angry feet rushed past the hut.Afraid that his breath would att

ASPEN VESPERThe kiss lasted for a long time, and when it came to an end, Aspen didn’t want to let go. It seemed her soul had been itching for that moment and was not ready to let it pass so easily.“Aspen,” Kailin whispered, his hand reaching for her face while his eyes teared up. “You really are here.”“I am not dead,” she returned his whisper. “I am here.”His body shifted closer to hers, and they both felt their bodies jolt excitedly. The jolt awakened Aspen’s wolf briefly, and more warmth enveloped her.“What did that woman do to you?” he asked.“I am still confused about that. All I know is that she kept trying to remove the goddess’s gift from my soul.”“She wasn’t able to obtain it, was she? She failed, right?”“Yes.” Aspen recalled more pressing matters. “How are the packs? Did she hurt the people? Are they safe?”“No.” His gaze became feeble. “I was not able to protect them. I could not even defend their lives.

ASPEN VESPERIn the past, Kailin’s kiss was always a blissful reminder that their bond was very much alive. But at that moment, their kiss reminded Aspen that they were fighting a battle they hoped to win. However, within the fierceness of the moment, she still gave in to the innermost desire to find happiness in the lip lock.So, with slight desperation in her touch, she dug her fingers into his back and leaned her entire body towards his to feel the beautiful thrill of what was about to happen between them.“I have missed you so much, Aspen,” Kailin murmured against her lips. “I miss having you in my arms.”“You are talking too much,” she responded as she introduced her tongue to explore more of their kiss. Then, with a seductive grin, she pulled at his lower lip and gazed into his eyes. “Let our bodies talk for now.”Kailin grinned, and the next second, he lifted her off the floor, her legs firmly wrapped around him. “We should not waste time. My body is more than ready to do the ta
