~ LAIA ~I take a turn toward the temple. That pricking feeling creeps in, that tells you something isn’t right. My skin tingles, the hairs on my arms rising. I don’t know what it is… but I ignore it and keep walking.I’m almost at the temple when men in black hooded cloaks surround me, four of them. My breath catches as I take in their masks.The same fucking masks Damon’s pack members wore the night we were taken at Redmoon Pack.Panic hits me. I position into a fighting stance instantly. My body moves on instinct, I launch a flying kick straight into one of their faces. He staggers back, and I twist mid-air, narrowly dodging another attack coming from my side.I’m being subdued when someone grabs me from my left, throwing me hard to the ground. The impact knocks the air out of my lungs.My mind suddenly remembers the mind link, but before I can reach out, before I can warn anyone that I’m in danger... One of the fucking men presses something against my nose.A strange chemical scen

~ DAMON ~“What do you mean she’s nowhere to be found?”My voice comes out like a fucking roar, ripping through the room. Maddox has been restless all day, that uneasy agitation crawling under my skin, and I’d thought he was just acting up again.I was wrong.Caden stands in front of me, tense, careful with his words. I try reaching for her through the mind link, but there’s nothing. No connection.It’s just… gone. My chest tightens. No.Hell no. According to High Priestess Selara, today was supposed to be the relic ritual. Laia wouldn’t just disappear. She wouldn’t...“She’s been searched for everywhere,” Caden says. “The last person she was seen with was Zia.”“Then get Zia,” I say, my voice low, lethal. “Now.”Caden hesitates, and I catch the shift in his expression immediately.“What?” “According to her, they talked, and then—”“I said I need Zia.”My patience is gone, completely gone. He moves, closing the door behind him.I turn to the window, pressing one hand flat against the

~ LAIA ~My eyes snap open to yet another unfamiliar place, and I shut them again quickly, trying to remember where I am, hoping maybe this is just some dream I need to wake up from, but when I keep them closed, nothing changes except the pounding in my head and the heavy weakness in my body, like I haven’t eaten in days, as though something has drained everything out of me.My head aches badly, each throb making it harder to think, and for a second I just want Rhea or Sage, want to call out for them to bring me something, anything, even just Tylenol, something to make this pain stop.I slowly open my eyes again, forcing myself to look around, taking in everything this time, the space feels empty, the bed beneath me is strange, slightly raised and uncomfortable, nothing like my room back at the pack house.Where am I? The thought slams into me all at once, and my heart pummels against my rib.Did Damon find out about my plan, did he finally see me for what I am? That I'm not the angel

~ LAIA ~It’s been hours since I finished eating, I don’t know the exact time because there’s nothing here to tell me, but it feels long, and I’ve done everything I can just to keep my mind from breaking, counting the ceiling, the walls, the cracks, the lines, even thinking about what it would take to clear out the cobwebs hanging above me.The two burly men are still by the bedside, watching me, just there like guards making sure I don’t try anything stupid, and the worst part is I still can’t fully remember how I got here.I remember going to see Zia, I remember parts of it, small broken pieces, flashes that don’t fully connect, and then the fight comes back, those four masked men, the way they moved, the way I tried to fight them off.My memory is coming back bit by bit, slow and frustrating, but every time I try to push it, to force myself to remember more, a sharp headache hits me hard, pounding through my skull like a warning, telling me to stop before it breaks me completely.I

~ LAIA ~For a moment, I almost let myself sink into his words, into that guilt and regret he’s throwing at me, almost let myself feel something for him again, but no, I can’t, I won’t, because the only person on my mind right now is that Alpha, the one with the grey eyes, the one who looks at me like I’m the only thing that matters in his world, the way he stares, the way he touches, the way everything about him pulls me in without trying.“And you still want me as your mistress, right?” I ask, and the look on his face gives me the answer before he even says anything, and that’s it, that’s the whole fucking point.“Well, it’s more complicated, I do want you, but you need to understand that Lysandra...”“Lysandra, Lysandra, then stick to fucking Lysandra and leave me alone,” I yell, because for a second I almost fell for his stupid story, almost let myself believe him, but I know better, I know the relic is creating a fake bond with her, but the relic isn’t the one making decisions fo

~ DAMON ~It’s been two fucking days with no result in finding her… we’ve searched everywhere, turned over every possible place, and I was able to pull the footage from the scene… four masked men, and even through that, I can see she fought, I can see how hard she tried before they took herI’m lividTwo fucking days without sleep, two days of nothing but rage. I’ve been tracking Xaden, trying to pin down where that fucker is hiding, but he moves like a ghost, jumping from one deserted place to another, recruiting rogues, building whatever sick plan he has.And I’m waiting for the right moment to strike. I expected a call, a message, or some kind of threat, but there’s been nothing, not even a single move. If he thinks he can play this game… Then all I need to do is show him just how well I can beat him at his own fucking game of chess.“Alpha, something urgent just came in,” Caden says as he walks in, his tone carrying clear urgency.I turn to look at him, my expression already dark.

~ LAIA ~The mark stings, the hotness, the redness... it's like something hot is being engraved into my neck... I feel distantly removed from whatever pull exists between Damon and me.Fury burns through me... I feel my wolf build up, my claws are pushing out, ready to launch an attack.It happens in a blink, he’s already closing the distance, grabbing me and slamming me down hard onto the dusty ground. I yelp, the impact knocking the air out of me.He presses over me, his strong thighs caging mine, his hands pinning my wrists to the ground.“Fucking let go of me, you bloody scoundrel!” I bellow, struggling against his hold, trying to pull my hands free, but it’s useless. His grip doesn’t even budge.“I fucking will, Laia… but first, you need to understand your situation. You’re mine… already carrying my mark. And I can do with you as I please. Even if you try to resist, the bond is there. My wolf recognizes yours. This is a bond the Moon Goddess herself destined… and you know one thi

~ DAMON ~I’m still yet to recover from Caden’s words when I feel a sudden disconnection. Fucking no.Maddox’s voice roars inside my head, and I know instantly that something has gone wrong. Two days ago, after she was kidnapped, it took eight hours before I felt her pack bond with mine break. That alone nearly drove me insane.However, this is worse.Something is wrong. So fucking wrong, and I can feel it down to my bones.My chest tightens as I try to make sense of it, but Caden’s words are still ringing in my head, refusing to let me think straight.“Show me,” I say. “I need to fucking see it for myself, and Goddess help you… if the evidence isn’t enough, then maybe you’ll find yourself hating Maddox more.”I take a step closer, my gaze hardening.“Because you’ll be in a hospital bed, battling with Dr. Bastien.”Caden nods, giving me a look that clearly says I should brace myself for whatever is coming next. I try not to pace as he fumbles with the hard drive, trying to insert it i

~ CAEL ~Seeing Laia on the bed settles Azrael, even if he’s still yelling at me for how I handled it, but Damon didn’t do it right either… he could have agreed to the switch, he should have, but he refused… fucking refused… and that’s because he knows, he felt it, that she belongs to me… and still he chose to stand in my wayThe Moon Goddess can tell how fucking satisfied I was when Xaden called to say she was in his possession, for once he actually did something right without screwing it up… but when he explained what it took to subdue her, that’s when I realized I underestimated her… she’s stronger than I thoughtThe drink Xaden gave her the second time wasn’t my idea, but it worked… a concentrated dose of dreamroot extract, strong enough to sever pack bonds and leave her completely isolated… efficient… I didn’t think he had it in him, not after losing most of his warriors to Damon and running like a coward, but I’ll give him that.The dreamroot will leave her disoriented, gaps in

~ DAMON ~We’re in my private training chamber. Caden is already reading me, positioning into his stance. The room is wide enough for us to shift.My eyes size him up, searching for the right place to strike. The damn feeling of betrayal weighs heavily on me. For once, just once, I let myself feel something close to love… and now this. The hurt cuts deeper than any dagger ever could.“Ready?” Caden asks, his posture already set in an attacking position."Bring it on, Caden..."The first punch lands clean on Caden's jaw, and honestly, I need it more than he does."Feel better?" he asks, spitting to the side."No.""Good." He swings back.I duck under it, grab his arm, and twist, using the momentum to send him sideways. He recovers faster than most people expect from a Beta... I know Caden, I know exactly how he moves; he favors his right when he's tired, drops his left shoulder half a second before he commits to a takedown. He knows the same about me. That's the thing about fighting so
