Chapter Thirty One

TESSA POVHad I said something wrong?Was it the tattoo?I couldn’t be sure, but I thought he looked mad when I showed it to him, and he’d walked away without a single word.The next morning, by the time I woke up, he was already gone, and something told me I wouldn’t be seeing him for a long time.Angelina had told me she would be picking me up by eight for breakfast with the pack. I couldn’t say I was looking forward to that, but anything had to be better than staying in here all day, alone.I put on a light blue crop top and a pair of fitted jeans. I had just enough time to pull my hair up in a bun before Angelina walked in.“Hello there… Wait, is that your Mark-ink?” she asked, her eyes locked on the tattoo that was only partially covered by the top I had on.“Is that what it’s called?”“Yes. After the marking process is over, a Mark-Ink appears in the spot.”Wraith hadn’t told me anything about that.“You have one too?” I asked.“Yeah, but it’s not nearly as cool as yours.” She p

Chapter Thirty Two

WRAITH’S POV I was covered in blood. None of it was mine. I peeled off the leather cloak from my body and walked into the shower.The ice-cold water rinsed away every single trace of blood, and I watched the reddish water go down the drain.It had been another assignment, just like any other. Those men broke the rule and had to pay with their lives, and yet… I couldn’t just close my eyes and forget that I’d ended three lives today.I took out the hardcover book from the drawer, adding three more names to the list. But this time penning their names down didn’t make it any easier to bear.I was raging inside; I wanted—no, I needed a release, something to make all this pent-up anger disappear, and I knew just where I had to go.…The Underground arena was the last place I should be, and yet here I was.When I was younger, this had been my biggest fear; standing in a ring and facing someone twice my size, but now, what once terrified me had become my own solace. That’s how fucked up in t

Chapter Thirty Three

TESSA POVI was worried sick.It’s been four days now and I hadn’t gotten even a glimpse of him. Wraith wasn’t in his room either. Was he avoiding me, or was there some other explanation for his absence?I knocked on the door to Jake and Angelina’s apartment. There was no response. I was about to knock again when the door was unlocked and pulled open.Angelina stood before me, breathing hard like she’d just run a few hundred meters. She ran a hand through her hair in an attempt to tame it. Behind her, Jake was in nothing but his shorts, covered in sweat, and also breathing heavily. That’s when I realized I interrupted something. Heat rose to my cheeks.“I’m sorry—I didn’t mean to…”“No, it’s fine.” Angelina cuts in. “Jake was just about to leave for work. Right, Jake?”“Right.” He agreed, putting on his shirt and a pair of pants.“See you later, Tessa.” He said to me, then placed a kiss on Angelina’s forehead; he whispered something into her ears that got her blushing, before he left

Chapter Thirty Four

A tense silence settled in the car as Angelina drove me back to the pack.“Are we being followed?” I questioned.“No—I think we should be fine. I made a bit of a miscalculation, that’s why we had to leave.” She said, but her eyes remained fixed on the road ahead.After a few more minutes of silence, she finally spoke up. “I’m sorry you couldn’t stay longer.”“That’s okay, I never thought I'd ever see her again, so this is already more than I ever expected. Thank you.”She nodded, her smile returning.“I wanted to ask a question.” I began,“I’m all ears.” She replied.“When you got close to Bree, you kind of looked to me like you were in pain… I mean, I could have been wrong—” “You weren’t.” She pulled up the sleeve of her sweater, revealing a burn mark on her wrist. “Bree had on a few… accessories made with silver.” She said, before rolling down her sweater sleeve.“And silver does this to you?"“To werewolves, yes. Silver is harmful to werewolves; that’s why the pack doesn’t have a s

Chapter Thirty Five

When Wraith had told me about their abilities to turn into wolves on full moons, a part of me didn’t believe it, despite everything I'd seen. But this…this changes everything.I should run; I shouldn’t be standing here watching the creature like it was the most intriguing thing I had ever seen.“Wraith?” I called silently, and his gaze met mine. It was him, I just knew it.Run.The word kept echoing in my head, but I did the exact opposite; I drew closer to the beast. It snarled, that was a warning, but I didn’t back away.My shaky hands met its fur, and it was the softest thing I’d ever felt. I gently stroked it, and this time the sound it made was different—content. The wolf stretched its limbs and lowered to my level. Taking that as an invitation, I stroked its fur some more, letting my hand wander to its back and then to its ear. “I was worried about you, Wraith. You left without a single word.”He watched me, almost like he was trying to communicate something to me, and then… he

Chapter Thirty Six

TESSA’S POVIt didn’t take long for me to realize that the wolf who’d chased me was Natasha.I always knew that she didn’t like me very much, and it was fine; I didn’t expect everyone to accept me the way Angelina and Jake did, but going as far as trying to kill me? That was on a different level entirely.Wraith walked in, and it was almost hard to think about this same man as a… wolf. It was still so difficult to take it all in.“So, the reason you let me visit Bree was to keep me away, right? I mean, I did find it weird that all of a sudden I was allowed a visit.”“You’re right. I let you go because I thought you would be safer there.”“Then what happened?”“A miscalculation.”“That’s what Angelina called it too.”I stared into his eyes, this time holding his gaze. Last night he came to my aid, again.“Thank you for last night,” I said, sincerely grateful.“You are my responsibility, and I’m to keep you safe.” He said it like what he had done was simply out of duty. But last night I

Chapter Thirty Seven

KELVIN’S POV‘Hi, it’s Rebecca; leave a message after the tone.’ It’s been weeks now, and every time I called her, it went straight to voicemail.I didn’t need anyone to tell me how badly I’d fucked up. I threw away the one good thing in my life for a woman who disappeared the moment things got rocky.I felt like every unfortunate thing that happened to me was some kind of payback for what I did to Tessa. She didn’t deserve it. She didn’t deserve to be stood up at her own wedding; she didn’t deserve all those harsh words I spat at her. I was stupid enough to believe that after everything I’d done, she would forgive me.I was drowning in regrets, thinking about possibilities that would never happen, like how different my life would have been if I hadn’t pushed her away.I stared down at my left hand, still wrapped in bandages; the man who had tortured me took three fingers, but that wasn’t all he took. When I returned to work a week after the incident, I realised I’d been moved out; s

Chapter Thirty Eight

TESSA’S POVI never believed it was possible to feel so much… pleasure. If Wraith had taken me right there, on the table—I wouldn’t have stopped him, and yet he didn’t.I applied the ointment he’d given me to the bruise on my thigh when I heard his footsteps approaching. I looked up to find him standing by the doorway, watching me.“Perhaps I should stop making promises I can’t keep.” He said before walking into my room. “I was on my best behavior, and yet you didn’t walk away unscathed.”“Wraith, it really doesn’t hurt anymore; this ointment—or whatever it is—works like magic.” I said before returning the bottle to the drawer.“Angelina told me something.” I began, keeping my eyes down so he wouldn't read my curiosity. “She said something about you being… different, she said you are not like Jake or Rex…” I trailed off, now wondering if saying this to him would cause trouble for Angelina.“That’s because Jake and Rex are of Royal bloodlines.” Wraith said, like he expected me to under

Chapter Thirty Nine

Wraith returned at midnight, covered in blood, with cuts marking his face.“Why are you still awake?” He asked, like that was the bigger problem.“You’re bleeding.” “I’m fine.”“You need to go to the healers; you’re not fine.”He ignored me and went straight to his room. I followed him inside, watching as he entered the bathroom.He took off the dark green shirt he was wearing, and a gasp escaped my lips. He had been shot. But that wasn’t the only thing that horrified me.Scars marked almost every inch of his skin; the tattoos were clearly meant for coverage, but it was still hard to miss all those scars. I had never seen him without his shirt, not until now, and I finally understood why he kept it on all the time.“Tessa, hand me the box over there.” He pointed to the cabinet, and I hurried to bring the box; I passed it to him with unsteady hands. “Thank you.” He said before unlocking the box and taking out a pair of surgical scissors.“This won’t be very clean, you should leave now

Chapter Forty

“You seem to be expecting someone else.” Logan noted, with a smile tugging at his lips. He was dressed in a black silk shirt, the top two buttons left casually open, paired with dark tailored pants; a silver earring on one ear, and a thin chain around his neck.“What are you doing here?” I asked, my eyes searching the garden, hoping to spot soldiers or—anyone. Unfortunately, there was not a single person in sight. I could almost hear my own heartbeat, pounding hard in my chest.“I’m here to talk.”“How did you get in here?” I questioned.“I can assure you, I don’t mean any harm.”“I’m sorry, but I don’t believe you.” I said, slowly backing away.“Tessa, there are guards parading this whole place; we might be alone, but drawing their attention won’t require much. I would be a fool to attack you here. I’m here to talk, and I only ask that you listen.”“The last time I saw you, you were pointing a gun at Wraith…"“I was only doing what was expected of me; I wasn’t planning on pulling the
