WHEN TRIBUNAL’S FAILS

COLT'S POVMy pulse hammered in my ears.He had me cornered.He turned to leave, brushing imaginary dust from his sleeve. “You’ve always had potential, Colt. Don’t waste it by choosing the wrong side.”With that, he walked out, his words lingering in the air like poison.I sat there for a long time after he left. I’d made a mistake. A dangerous one. But I couldn’t regret it, not when it meant seeing Aurora alive, even if she was suffering.I whispered into the silence, “Hold on, Aurora. I’ll find a way.”×××RAGNAR’S POVThe great hall of the Griffith Coven had never felt so cold.White banners hung along the walls, marked with native writings of judgment. The air was heavy with the scent of burning sage and candle wax. I stood in the center of it all, barefoot, bound by cuffs, and dressed in the white robes of shame.A punishment reserved for those accused of betraying the coven.Today was the day the witches among the council would vote on my verdict, whether or not they wanted me t

THE DEVIL’S BARGAIN

THORNBLADE PACKAURORA'S povI was led into a room, one I recognized. It was the same room I had been placed in the first time they’d released me, before everything had gone wrong again.The room was warm this time, the fire crackling gently in the hearth. Steam rose from the bathtub that stood by the far corner, filled to the brim. Clean towels were stacked nearby, and on the table sat a tray covered in silver lids.I blinked. Was this a trick?Before I could speak or ask anything, the two men left, locking the door behind them.For a while, I just stood there, frozen. My heart hammered in my chest as I tried to make sense of it all. After days of being starved and drained, suddenly they wanted me clean, and clothed?What kind of game was this?The food covered by the side smelled heavenly, roasted meat, warm bread, and pudding porridge. My stomach ached painfully at the scent. I approached cautiously, half expecting the meal to vanish before my eyes.But it didn’t.I didn’t want to

HIS BEAST

THORNBLADE PACKLUCIAN'S POV " So, do we have a deal ?"I'd asked her but I already knew her answer.She didn’t need to say a word, her facial expressions were dead giveaways.She looked like someone who had just been handed the possibility of life for the first time in years.Her lips parted slightly, yet, before she could speak, I uncorked the small thumb-sized bottle Rigor had given me. The lid popped with a faint click.To his explanation, the contents in the bottle were gruk poison mixed with wolfsbane.A lethal pair, painful enough to tear a man apart from the inside, effective for self-torture, but crafted for a much crueler purpose.It would inflict enough pain on my body to forcefully push my beast to the surface and if successful, it would trigger my curse on purpose.Rigor had warned me...at least three times...that drinking it willingly was madness. Purposely forcing my curse out would be unpredictable. He said there were easier ways. Safer ways, if only I weren't so im

HUNTED BY MY OWN MATE

AURORA'S POVI had to admit that he was indeed gorgeous. Realizing my thoughts, I groaned softly, annoyed at myself, quickly, I pulled myself together.This was probably the mate bond messing with my head.I watched him in bewilderment, wondering how it would feel to touch this beast's fur.Suddenly I snapped out of my thoughts. It almost felt like a tight slap of reality when I saw the instant bloodlust that emerged in the beast's eyes.What. . . I clenched my teeth and balled my fists for the inevitable attack that was about to happen as I watched how the lycan ran towards me.Running would do me no good, and surely shifting to my wolf would be a death sentence. My size was barely a pup compared to his, he'd tear me apart in a second.My heart raced as I saw my death approaching.He had said I wouldn't need to do a thing but now I was starting to doubt his words.My adrenaline kicked in and instinctively, my hands shot out, i muttered the only spell I knew I had mastered and at on

THE MONSTER MENT TO LOVE ME

AURORA'S POV As for what I would do next after reaching the gate, I would have to figure it out later. The roar behind me informed me that the beast had probably gotten past the barrier I created. I heard another roar, this time not too far away and the thought sent chills of fear through my bones.What pathetic kind of experiment was this?He had told me that I wouldn't need to do a thing to subdue his beast, but now, he was trying to kill me after triggering his curse.How was this a better option than being left to rot in that dungeon?It was all the same thing, in the end, I would die in the hands of my mate.No way!I shook my head to get rid of the thoughts but eventually, I stopped running. I couldn't help but stop, I was losing my breath, fast. I needed to. . .I barely got the chance to take in two breaths when the air was knocked out of my lungs at the heavy weight that pounced against me from behind.My body hit the ground when the beast pinned me down. Without thinking,

BOND OF THE BEAST

AURORA'S POV I closed my eyes and groaned when the blazing sun hit my vision the minute he finally eased slowly off of me and moved away. Once my eyes could adjust to the light, I tried to straighten my posture.I could see the red in his eyes flicker, then dimmed just enough to show gold shining through as though he was fighting a silent battle within.A deep, almost mournful sound rumbled out of him. Something between a growl and a plea.His amber eyes had locked on me like a brand on bare skin, like an invincible pull I couldn't ignore.Without thinking, I lifted my hand, slowly, even though I was still terrified and trembling… and gently, I touched the fur on his cheek.It was warm.Soft.And beneath it, beneath my touch, he shook.His body reacted instantly.His breath hitched. His muscles trembled. His claws dug out as though he was fighting himself, fighting the urge to tear everything apart except . .Me.Because I calmed him.The bond flared between us, and I felt it too, ho

THE WARD OF LIES

AURORA'S POV Damn this mate bond!“You had said something before the wolf interrupted us.” I blinked, thinking back.Right.The deal.I took a step forward, my voice steady even though my heart thudded hard.“You gave your word. . ." I said. “That if I helped you test your theory, I’d get to see my mother.”His jaw flexed, as if displeased.“I did,” he said simply “I've kept my part,” I continued. “So you have to keep your end of the bargain as well”He didn’t answer right away.Instead, his eyes keened and he studied my face, slowly, as if he was searching for something beneath my skin. Something hidden. Something only he could see.“Follow me,” he said finally.My breath hitched, almost as if I'd been holding it.I'd truly believed he wouldn't keep to it, after all, he had the greater advantage. He turned, opened the door, and without looking back, walked out.I followed close behind.Not because I trusted him, but because he held my chance of seeing my mother again.I couldn'

SHE’S A WITCH

Two days laterLUCIAN'S POV The council room was filled with tension asSeven of my generals sat at the long wooden table, their expressions tight and their jaws clenched.“Alpha, she’s a witch.”General Lunad spat the word like something foul. He didn’t even try to hide his disgust.A meeting had been arranged when the rumors spread that a witch was in the pack and alive.Aurora.I'd wanted to keep her whereabouts in my pack a hushed secret, but unfortunately, someone had a tongue too loose or a brain too small, and now the news was out and spreading like wildfire.General Lunad slammed his fist down. "You cannot harbor a witch in our pack, it is an insult to everything we’ve ever fought for!”He said and the other seven men around the table nodded in agreement “An insult to our ancestors,” another general chimed in. “Our forefathers died fighting witchcraft. Now you keep one under our roof?”They murmured their agreement, a choir of chatters and whispers.I leaned back in my chai

BETWEEN MERCY AND DEATH

AURORA'S POV "You're scared of me"I said suddenly out of the blue and they both looked at me, their laughter stopped They frowned Even weak, even drained, I could still see it, the flicker of fear in their eyes."Even if you don't show it I can tell, you're scared of me.." I continued "Scared of a girl capable of burning you alive with a single thought"There was silence for a while “Nobody is scared of you witch" ,” the first girl snapped.“Then why drug me?”I shot back."Then why subdue me with portions and wolfbane, Why lock me in a basement?”They stiffened."You're all simply a bunch of scared rats"“One more word..."The girl grabbed my hair, yanking my head back so hard, she grabbed me by my throat and forced me down on my knees. "Don’t be smart with me, witch. I am standing between you and death now.”I met her eyes unflinching “I would think twice if I were you."My voice was steady, too steady for someone on the floor." Knowing your alpha wants me alive, you can't

SAVED BY THE MONSTER

AURORA'S POV This girl was insane and would kill me My body stiffened the moment she let go, afraid a single movement might seal my fate.I felt the light brush of air and a whistle by my ear as the arrow missed by barely an inch My breath was caught in my throat These girls were madMy fear rose when I saw her aiming the bow again, with another arrow.Her smile widened when she saw the panic in my eyes. She lifted her bow and aimed directly at my head. This time, she looked less focused, more careless.Should I run?But if I did, she might aim for my back. And with my luck, she would hit something vital.Before I could make a decision, she released the arrow.It whizzed past my cheek, missing by inches again.She pouted. “Ugh. That wasn't even close. It didn’t even touch her.”My chest rose and fell rapidly as adrenaline surged.“Let me try, sister,” the other said eagerly.My heart crashed painfully against my ribs as the second girl collected the bow. Her smile was even more e
