Love is a fire. But whether it is going to warm your heart or burn down your house, you can never tell.— Joan Crawford.KYLE I wasn’t a bad person… was I?I should have been at Lucien’s side. That was what loyalty demanded.“Put your arms around me, my love. It’s cold,” Viren murmured from beneath me.I didn’t hesitate. I wrapped my arms around his bare body, and he made a soft, content sound as our skin met.“Thank you,” he whispered, nuzzling into me.I traced lazy patterns on his skin, my thoughts drifting elsewhere.I’d told Viren I was going to tell my pack about us, but there was never any space to make anything about me with all the chaos that had been going on.He never said it out loud, but I knew he was tired of waiting. So when he called, asking me to spend a few days with him, I didn’t hesitate.I owed him at least that — my presence. And truth be told, I’d missed him too."I want you again" Viren moaned softly, rubbing his hips against mine so I could feel his hardenin

“Sometimes the smallest things take up the most room in your heart.” — A.A. Milne. LUCIEN I’m a father. I’m responsible for those two tiny creatures in there till God knows when. What if I fuck up? What if I’m not patient enough? What if I say the wrong thing, or can’t protect them, or turn into everything I swore I’d never be? Alanna was showing Damien how to hold one of the babies properly, and they were laughing about it, but I could barely hear them. My eyes kept drifting back to Camellia. Her hair was messy, her lips dry — and she’d never looked more beautiful to me. Yesterday, the nurses said her heart stopped. Today, I’m watching her breathe. And I swear… I don’t know how to carry the weight of that miracle. Rowan clapped me on the shoulder. “Hey, man. You okay?” I nodded, lying through my teeth. Because how do you explain the kind of fear that comes with love this big? The nurses whispered among themselves, moving quietly around the room. One gently brushed a s

“Hell is empty and all the devils are here.”— William Shakespeare.LUCIEN Fuck.I should’ve just stayed home with Camellia and the twins.We were supposed to be doing family bonding time — which basically meant me trying to burp one baby while the other screamed like I’d personally offended him.Camellia said it was “good practice.”The Alpha wing in the pack house smelled like milk, powder, and peace for exactly seven minutes before one of the twins exploded again.Honestly, I’d take that chaos over this any day.“You better make sure we’re in the right location, or I’ll fucking snap your neck,” I snarled at Darius, groaning as I stepped into another pile of forest animal shit.Darius glanced back over his shoulder, smirking. “Now, now, that wouldn’t be playing nice, cousin, now would it?”The sarcasm in his tone made my eye twitch.I rolled my eyes. Darius had dragged me miles away from my pack and my district just to show me where he claimed he’d seen Selene and Matthias.I didn’

“The lonely monster is never born; it is made.” —John Steinbeck. MATTHIAS Perhaps I’ve lost my touch? I placed a hand on my head and watched Selene slap a member of Lucien’s pack so hard his head snapped to the side. Without waiting for him to recover, she shoved her way inside. She was pretty. Too pretty, maybe. Lucien’s pack had good warriors, some of the best, even, but I hadn’t spent more than half a year recruiting wolves I could turn into hybrids for nothing. “Ooh, that’s going to sting.” I clapped my hands as one of my hybrids tore through more than half the face of a warrior. His warriors were skilled, but outnumbered? My, oh my... they didn’t stand a chance. And yet... my eyes kept drifting to Selene from the window upstairs. She wasn’t exactly my type, far from it, but the way she moved, the fire in her stance, was irritatingly impressive. I didn’t plan to let her know that Fernando was the Matthias who’d kept more than half her kind sleeping with one eye

It is easier to forgive an enemy than to forgive a friend.— William Blake.DAMIEN I’d never hoped my senses were failing me more than I did now.Through the shattered window, I could still see the faint outline of Lucien on the floor, Rowan hunched over him, blood spreading too fast.The dagger’s path was clear, straight from the window.Then the scent hit again.It was familiar.No.No, it couldn’t be.Kyle.Darius had left me to join the other alphas in the fight against the hybrids.But this new wave of hybrids was different. They were stronger, faster.They were dragging even the strongest alphas to their knees.I couldn’t move.A few hybrids lunged at me, but Alaric was faster, slamming them to the ground and ripping their heads clean off.One managed to drag his claw across my stomach, tearing my shirt in the process.“Damien, fucking focus!” Alaric yelled, but I still couldn’t move.My eyes were fixed on Kyle.On the male hybrid he was locked in an embrace with.They kissed h
