NATEShe kissed me.In the backseat of this car that George had been speeding down the road with, an entourage of three black cars behind us. She kissed me.And I loved it. I loved every second of it.She pulled apart from me and rested her head on my forehead. I couldn't help but sigh in relief. And when I heard her sigh, I knew she was smiling.She suddenly sprang up. "Wait, what happened? The fight…" she said, looking backward.I tucked her hair behind her ear. "It's done. We won." I replied. She exhaled. "I had to leave to get you help but I'm sure the Alphas are finishing up and everyone is going to head back. We're going to have to provide vehicles for the injured."Gemma nodded, slowly, "And Leonard?" She looked at me and then George. "Is he okay?"Shit. I didn't know that. I hadn't bothered to check on anyone when she was unconscious. All my focus had been on Gemma."He's injured but he's fine. I saw him when we took you to the car," George answered from the front seat. He gla

GEMMAThe healers took me to the palace infirmary. I kept my eyes fixed forward in front of me, willing myself to stay awake. The power I had released was still vibrating through my bones. It was exciting and scary. I wasn't so sure how to handle it anymore.But I couldn't shake the image of Nate's face when he had seen me collapse. The pain in his eyes, the fear—it had cut through me in a way I didn't quite understand. Even though we hadn't gone past the total hate phase, there was something between us now.Aedin was defeated, and I had tapped into a part of myself that I didn’t fully understand. It was a part that scared me more than I wanted to admit. The power of the White Wolf… That burst of energy in the battle was purely instinct. It had taken everything I had to control it.Control had been slipping through my fingers; I remembered that. I had fully stepped into my destiny as the White Wolf. But what next? Was I going to have to face even more enemies?I had managed to save us

GEMMAAll these men who had been through hell on the battlefield, and yet, they were bowing to me. Me, who didn't have nearly as much experience as they did. Me, who wasn't important.It was a gesture of respect that I hadn’t expected. Even the Alphas inclined their heads slightly as I passed by. It felt strange, accepting their reverence and equally suffocating. I had done what I needed to do in the battle but I didn’t feel like a hero.I felt like someone who had barely held on. Someone who had just managed to keep herself from losing control completely. When I left the infirmary, I fled. I needed to find somewhere where I could be completely alone.As I turned the corner, I ran into someone. It was Nate. He grabbed my shoulders to steady me. "Whoa, easy, are you okay?" He asked.I don't know what happened. Maybe it was the look of worry in his eyes or the way he stared at me but, I started to cry.He said nothing and pulled me into a hug. I held onto him tightly sobbing into his ch

GEMMAFor the first time in what felt like forever, I found myself relaxing. The fear and tension of the past few days were slowly melting away as I listened to the music.It was almost like I was stepping back into a normal life, something that I hadn't had in weeks. Finally, there was room for laughter and lightness again.I found myself standing by the table stacked with champagne glasses to form a tower. I didn't drink but I was curious as to what they enjoyed. Truly, it tasted wonderful. Elias came up next to me to keep me company.I was glad that he had survived the battle but, of course, he was an Alpha. He had experience in fighting and those Obsidian Wolves couldn't have just killed him so easily.Surprisingly, I found something out about him tonight. He somehow had a knack for drawing me out of my head. He was making me laugh at silly jokes and stories. For once, I wasn’t the White Wolf or the girl who wanted to have revenge against Nate’s family.After so long, I just felt

GEMMAI pressed my lips to him, ignoring all the voices in my head. His breath was warm against my ear. I felt a shiver travel down my spine. He was so close to me, our foreheads almost touching.His fingers traced the outline of my jaw sending a thrill down my body. His touch was intoxicating. The world outside seemed to vanish, leaving just the two of us. Nothing else mattered.He pulled away from me. "You didn't even answer me." He said.“Yes,” I whispered and that was all it took.His lips met mine in a gentle and deep kiss. It wasn’t the kind of kiss that came from the burning need of our bond. But this one, this one was different. It spoke of all the things he wanted us to be, all the things we've been through together.It was slow and deliberate. And it was also full of affection and attention that I had not realized I so desperately wanted from my fatal enemy.Nate’s hand slid up to hold the back of my neck. He pulled me closer to him, deepening the kiss. My hands found their

GEMMAHe didn’t stop. His fingers worked into me and I threw my head back, shutting my eyes. He kept going until it felt like I was on the edge of release and then… he just stopped. Right when I thought I couldn’t take it any longer, he pulled back. He left me feeling out of breath and aching for more.I opened my eyes to see him staring at me with a look that took my breath away. Without taking his eyes away from me, he took off his clothes, stripping naked in front of me. I couldn't stop my eyes from trailing down to his massive length, erect and ready.Still maintaining eye contact, he climbed on top of me and kissed me till I was gasping for breath. I squirmed under him, feeling the need and desperation to come undone. He couldn't have carried me this far and left me hanging."Nate…" I begged, my voice needy."I know, princess. Almost there," he said before he kissed my neck and sucked on the flesh there.I was gasping for breath and moaning, feeling the pressure build up as he co

NATE"What?" I asked, furrowing my brows. I wanted to close the door so that Gemma wouldn't have to worry but, I knew she was still going to ask me about it so it was best to ask it directly."It's a situation that requires your immediate attention, Nate. Ragnarok has threatened to wage war if you don't produce his sister."I frowned. Ragnarok was not under my kingdom. He was an unclassified wolf clan known for their barbaric ways of handling matters."They sent a messenger. There's been a kidnapping of some sort." He said. "Ragnarok's sister has gone missing.""What does that have to do with us?" I asked. George was taking his time to realize information to me.George let out a grunt. "She went missing in our territory and they're blaming you for it. They say you took her for marriage."I frowned. That's one of the most absurd allegations that I have ever heard. Why would Nate kidnap someone to marry her?"That’s impossible," I said. “I have never even met the girl. Why would I kidna

GEMMAI furrowed my brows. Right now, it was from one problem to the other. We still needed time to recover from the fight with the Obsidian Wolves and now, this?Who the hell was even Ragnarok?That was the first important question. George left the office, leaving me and Nate alone."Who exactly is this Ragnarok? And why does he have such a weird name?" I asked.He sighed. "Ragnarok is a barbarian. For centuries, after his pack broke out from our kingdom, they have lived on the outskirts, having no alliances with anyone. They're strong enough on their own." He explained."Ragnarok… is a complex person. He sometimes makes the toughest decisions. He gets away with it because it doesn't generally harm his pack so he's remained Alpha for a long time. The last time I saw him was during my ascension."I nodded. "Hmm, so this might just be one of those rash decisions. Maybe his sister ran off to have a moment or two to breathe from him. Someone who gives a king a twenty-four-hour ultimatum

GEMMA"I guess that leaves me with not many options," I said."What do you suggest?" George asked.“Let me speak to the northern alpha,” I said. “If this is a setup, I might be able to get a read on him. See if he’s hiding something. Or…""Or what?""Or he's doing all this to get my attention," I said as the thought entered my mind. "He's trying to get the White Wolf's attention by threatening war."It made sense. Maybe that's why Nala doesn't want to say anything. It doesn't worry her. George paused, thinking about it for a moment."You think he’ll talk to you?" He asked.“I’m the White Wolf. Of course, he’ll talk to me.""Okay, we're going to have to talk to Nate about it," George replied."Don't worry, I'll handle it." With that, I turned and left the communications room. I headed straight for Nate's office, hoping to meet him there.Turns out, he was at the Luna Queen's pavilion. I redirected and went there instead. He and the Luna Queen were having a discussion when I knocked and

GEMMARagnarok's eyes flitted to me and he lifted his brows. I walked forward, standing next to Nate. The tent felt smaller as he glared at me.All eyes were on me. The two men from Ragnarok's side watched me. George kept his eyes on them. Ragnarok's facial expression moved from surprise to guarded.He took in my presence. I could practically see the wheels in his head turning. He was trying to access who I was and why I dared to talk to him like that."The White Wolf," he said, his voice taking on a slight awe. "So you finally decided to show up."I gave him a tight smile in return, not bothering to mask my hate for him. I already hate him for some reason. "I thought it was time we met, considering you're threatening war over something you have no proof of."Ragnarok sneered. I saw his jaw clench. From what I had learned, he was a man who was used to getting his way. Whether it was through intimidation and brute force."Proof?" he repeated, his voice dripping with what I suspected wa
