Laziel Brahm“I’ve killed him…holy shit I’ve killed him,” My harsh pants matched the ragged breathing that pooled in and out of my heaving chest.Fuck…fuck, fuck! This wasn't supposed to happen! I’d lost control again…screwed up.My eyes watered on the blood seeping out of the cracks in the doorway.With a scent as strong as his, a troop of guards was bound to come barrelling into my chambers any moment.“A fucking royal of all things. Damn you, Eddie,” I sighed, stretching to my full height and wiping reflexively at the blood staining the sides of my mouth when I saw my reflection in the mirror.I scrambled away from him, trying to salvage what little I could of my furniture when the hairs on the back of my neck suddenly stood straight.I was no longer alone.“What the fuck do you think you're doing?” Ronan’s quiet voice sounded like thunder in my ears and my wolf leaped back with a hiss when I turned to see him darkening the doorway.His sharp hazel eyes narrowed to slits as he g

Amara EldwoodShadows played over my closed eyes but only the chirping of a bird filled my room when I flicked my eyes open.Morning.“Crap…how long had I been out?” I gasped, cuddling my arms against my body as a distant boom of thunder vibrated along the walls, making the flames in the fireplace whoosh dramatically.Nothing looked out of place between the dark wood walls and blue-tinted windows.The morning started with such soul-crushing depression that I was sure I would have nothing left in my chest save for an empty chasm.Until a soft rap on the door drew my attention and I glanced up to see the blond maid from the other night standing with a large box in her hands.“Ms. Eldwood? My name is Amenie, the head maid is busy with the royal breakfast rounds so I will be your handmaiden for as long as it lasts,” She chirped, her demeanor far better than the icy monologue Mabel usually greeted me with.It was hard not to like the slender girl, with her big brown eyes and the limo blond

Amara EldwoodIf Dante Milburn noticed, it, then he could have fooled me, because his dark blue eyes swept over my body once, before his lips twisted with disdain.“Who told you you could come here? Did I not give you strict instructions to stay in your room?” He spat acoustically and I opened and closed my mouth wordlessly, afraid one word would loosen the ball of pathetic tears trapped in my throat.“I—I didn't mean—” I stammered, struggling to find something…antthing to say!How could he be so undeniably beautiful and yet say the cruelest things?Had Mabel not said I was to be here on his orders? Did she set me up?The painful pit in my chest yawned even wider when he shoved past me, sending me flying back into a couple of the wolves who danced away before I could touch them.Like I was diseased.“Come on man, she couldn't have seen—” Caius tried, a look of alarm fleeting over his broad face when he snapped off his mask, the worry edging his tone.What had gotten into the Alpha?

Dante Milburn“Could have fooled me. If she really is, then you wouldn't mind having her head on a pike, think of it as our wedding gift from you to me—” She breezed, pushing away from me and making the blood drain from my face before she threw her hands up in the air.“Caius! There you are!” My jaw tightened as I watched her knock the shadow over, barreling right into my Beta’s arms.The blond wolf’s eyes swept to me in surprise and he let out a chuckle, embracing the princess tightly.Embracing my wife-to-be if Kefas was to be tamed.“Oh my goodness, watch it will you?” the redhead’s petulant whine was barely above a whisper, but I saw the way the princess’ shoulders stiffened as the shadow righted herself, shaking off the wine the servant accidentally doused her with.I stomped down on the urge to take her in my arms, hating the pathetic look on her face when she realized none of the other wolves were paying attention.She couldn't have seen the way Ronan’s hands clenched to fists

Dante MilburnMy jaw clenched but I spared the wolf any lessons on manners.It was rare for Caius to be angry enough to flaunt direct orders the way he was now, but I would spare his madness.Hell, it was the least I could do knowing he and Ronan were the only ones holding up my pack while I stayed devastated over Leila’s betrayal and drank away my nights.“I understand that you're grieving, Caius, but we must be careful. Our pack law—” I tried, but he reared back like I had bitch-slapped him hard across the face.Red threads wove into the whites of his eyes as his lips tore into a savage grin. If he was pissed off before, he was downright boiling with fury now.“Pack law? You're going to give me bullshit about pack law now, Milburn? Where was your fucking law when I held back the Infinity legion while you chased your ex lover into The Darkness and cut her heart from her back?” The blond wolf’s bellow felt like a spear had been thrust into my gut but I kept my face devoid of expressio
