Tangled in His Shadows Collins spoke quickly in a low voice, "Evelyn." "You should leave that hotel." Right now.” "What?" "I was confused and asked. "Why?" “ "I found something." All about Dominic. About the business. I can't talk on the phone. Trust me, and leave now. When I looked at Dominic, his face had turned very cold. "What did you do?" I asked him. Dominic told him straight out, "Don't listen to him." "He's playing with you." I said in a whisper, "He sounded scared." Dom snapped, "Because he knows you're mine." "It makes him sick." I took a step back and shook my head no. "This is different." He said, "I found something." "Just exactly what?" Dominic spoke in a scary way. "What did he say?" “ When my phone rang again, it was Collins's message. It was a picture. It made my hands shake as I opened it. The picture showed a paper. An agreement to keep quiet. The name of my dad is... that of Dominic. I looked up with wide eyes. "You knew my dad?" “ Dominic didn't say

“His Lies, My Truth” We felt like gunshots were being fired at our fragile peace as we moved through the crowd of people. Fear clawed at me from the inside as I smiled. I wasn't just protecting my reputation; I was also protecting the lies that kept us living. We slipped away into the quiet library next door. Even though the lighting made us feel safer, I could still see the truth in his eyes: pain, hunger, and fear. He shook his head. "We have to stop running." It broke my heart. "I understand." Keep quiet. He then let out a sigh. "I discovered something." My heart stopped beating. The phrase felt like the end. He took out something to record with. "I have everything." My heart beat very fast. "What is everything?" His voice broke. "Our family trees. The tests Damien did. What my family did to kill your dad. It's all about this. My view was cloudy from tears. "Why did you lie?" He took a breath. "Because nothing about us was easy." I didn't know if we'd make it through if

Shattered Truths and Burning Kisses"I saw the blood before I heard the screammine or someone else’s, I couldn’t tell." * As I ran to the study, the hallway got fuzzy around me. It felt like a war drum was beating in my chest. I heard Dominic's voice, which was sharp and hurt, and then the sound of something breaking. It wasn't clear which scared me more: that someone had hurt him or that he had hurt himself. What a name! I rushed through the door, out of breath. He was in the middle of the room, breathing, and his hand was wet with blood. It looked like a scene from a crime movie, but the glass bottle that used to sit on the mahogany shelf was now broken and lying at his feet. Hi, Evelyn. His voice was very low. I couldn't put my finger on what was making his eyes, those cold, dominating eyes, go crazy. "WTF did that happen?" I quickly ran over to him, grabbed a hand towel from the bar cart, and put it around his hand. He did not move or flinch. Just looked at me like I was the

What Was Stolen at Birth "You made me think he just vanished," I said, shaking my head. "All these years, and it was you. You and Collins. "Together." His face changed shape. "That wasn't how it was." "I was looking out for you." "By telling lies?" "By stopping you from dying," he growled. "They would have killed you if I told you everything back then." "They might still." There was a moment when the wind was the only sound we could hear. Then he slowly moved toward me, as if I were a hurt animal about to run away. "Evelyn..." I love you. "I've always loved you, even when I felt bad about it." I held my breath. "Don't do that." I turned my head away. "That's not okay to say." Not when everything we had in common was power struggles, lies, and keeping things from each other. "But you stayed anyway." I laughed very hard. "Because I had no other choice." He moved like I hit him. "You could have done anything." "You had a hundred chances to leave." "Do you think I didn't try

The Challenge DeclaredI spoke in a low, sharp voice, "He's not just challenging me for Alpha; he's also bringing Damien into my pack through the back door."The news was still making the council room very lively. It wasn't long after the messenger left that the oak doors slammed shut behind him. The air became heavy and smelled like fear and stress. My wolf bit my chest and begged me to do something, but my mind was already going fast.Elara stood across from the table. Her face was pale, but her eyes were on fire in a way I had only seen her when she was in a tight spot.Elara asked, "Are you telling me that your uncle works with Damien?" How long have you known them?"Lucian: "I thought so." It made me not want to believe it. But now it's clear: he's offering Damien power over our lands if he takes my place.She was shocked and blinked, then took a step closer.Elara: "Then we're going to leave." Tonight. We'll take Aaron andNo, Lucian said. I didn't mean for my voice to sound so
