No... No.What right did he have to come into my room after everything and say those things? To tell me that he desperately loved me? How dare he do this to me after everything?And why wouldn’t my foolish, traitorous heart stop pounding because of those words?No, Jane. They were just words, and I couldn’t surrender to them like such an idiot.Suddenly, Marius brought his face even closer to mine and placed a kiss on my forehead, the most tender kiss I had ever received in my life, the first and only one.“It’s becoming harder and harder to accept the idea that I have to let you leave my life,” he whispered in my ear, his voice deep and filled with pain.That began to make the walls I had built to keep him away start to crack, and an overwhelming fear took over my heart. No, he couldn’t do this again.Marius couldn’t say those things that made my heart race and then reject me.“Stop... You have no right to do this to me. Not again.” My voice came out choked and weak because of the te

For a few seconds, I was stunned as I stared at the word written on the notepad. Meg was the sweetest and most helpful she-wolf I had ever met, gentle and skilled at everything she set out to do. How could someone with such a gentle soul be a red wolf and suffer everything she had endured?I had already suspected that the beginning of her life couldn’t have been easy because she was a red wolf, but I had never imagined that the male who was supposed to have protected her with his life had marked her face forever.An unbearable anger toward a male I had never even met flooded my blood, and I had to sit down on the bed so I could breathe properly.“How old were you, Meg?”I was a baby when he tried to kill me.Oh... poor Meg.My mother ran away from him with me and my sisters. We lived together for a few years, until she died when they brought us here. She died fighting to protect us. Shortly after we arrived, my sisters couldn’t take it anymore and killed themselves by throwing themsel

Damn Kilian, I thought.“Household chores? Is he implying…”“He's the Alpha. He can take any female he wants, although he's never done that before, you know. Even though he's allowed to take other males' females, it tends to create a bit of tension. But the Alpha said that if you disobey him, he'll do it for the first time. What I don't understand is, Jane belongs to Tristan, doesn't she? So why is the threat directed at you? And why doesn't Tristan seem to mind sleeping with her?”I didn't stay to listen to Lucian's ramblings. Shoving him out of my way, I opened the door and headed straight to Kilian's office.I kicked the door open with enough force to make it slam against the wall, and, as expected, Kilian was sitting there drinking without even blinking. Bastard. I could never catch him off guard.“What a wonderful visit from my son. Come, let's have a drink and talk,” he said as though he were the father of the year.“Are you threatening me with Jane? How dare you do that?”Kilia

I kept tossing and turning in bed, thinking about everything I had seen throughout the day.The fight with Beth. Marius looking almost like a normal young male while training with Lucian. He had smiled. The smile he only gave me back at our cabin in the woods.I sighed and sat up, my head spinning with all sorts of dark thoughts.What if Marius realized that this was where he belonged? It would be my fault. He was accepting Kilian’s conditions and taking part in the pack’s duties because of me. I got out of bed and peeked down the silent, dark hallway, but I didn’t see anyone.I carefully closed the door and quietly made my way downstairs, heading toward Marius’s room.I knocked only once, lightly, and he opened the door.When he saw me, he seemed surprised. Suddenly, he blushed, and I noticed that one of his hands was behind his back.I frowned.“Are you not going to invite me in?” I asked.Marius’s eyes widened, and he blinked several times.“I will. Just a moment,” he said, then cl

MARIUSI tossed and turned on the mat.The only thing I could think about was Jane and her words, her lips… her soft skin.I shouldn’t want her as much as I did.But I did, and she had made it clear that she was ours. She had made it clear that she wouldn’t reject us. Gaius skillfully tried to remind me.My mother rejected me, my own mother. My father. The only pack I had known as a child exiled me because I had made a terrible mistake.When I closed my eyes, images of that day came to my mind. Luke’s blood… pieces of his body between my wolf’s teeth…I quickly sat up, sweating cold.Don’t think about it. It wasn’t our fault. Gaius tried to comfort me.I felt my heart tighten and my stomach churn. Kilian had done me the favor of sharing the details of that event in the office, and of course Jane had heard. Even so, she had come to me to say that she wanted to be my mate.Did I deserve her? No. I was a bastard born under the worst circumstances, the result of a terrible violation that
