KAIRENI crouched low, my eyes sweeping over the rogue encampment below.Some sharpened knives, while others laughed.My eyes counted fifty rogues, but I knew more hid far beyond the camp. Enough to take me down if I were alone. Cedric had definitely done a job well done in teaching these rogues' strategies.I glanced around, unable to tell where Valios and Flinn had planted the backup. If I couldn't spot them, then the rogues certainly had no idea of their presence.The stakes had multiplied tenfold. I glanced down, staring at the rogue pretending to look unfazed.But the repeated tightening of his grip around the hilt of his sword, the way his eyes darted back and forth with his nose slightly turned up into the air trying to sniff out any strange scent, betrayed him.Pity, he'd be the first to fall.I reached for my dagger hidden in my boots and leapt down from my hiding spot. Before he could make a sound, my hands clamped around his mouth and my sharpened steel moved across his

MERILYNI sighed as I sat near the window, staring at the moon up above. The peace and serenity I hadn't felt all day suddenly enveloped me.My tab screen suddenly lit up as Kitara and Gwendolyn’s faces appeared.“Praise God, she's alive.” Kitara threw her arms in the air. “Honestly, you're taking this MIA course way too seriously.”“How do you not even have a social media presence? Your life has to be pretty boring these days.” Lyn’s fingers dove into her bag of chips.“Wait… something is not right. Merilyn, why does your background look like your bedroom in the Lycan castle?” Kitara pointed out, pushing her face so close to the screen, all I could see was her nose.“Oh,” Lyn’s gaze narrowed, “Talk about withdrawal symptoms. Did you get your new apartment painted and decorated in that exact same way?”“Of course she didn't. It's the exact same room, Gwen! She's still in the castle.”“What?” If Lyn could throw her bag of chips in the air, she would have. “Why are you still there? I th

MERILYN I stood on my toe, closing the distance between us and merging our lips together once again. The fire geared up within me once more. The kiss held so much and said so many things at the same time. It felt like once we started, we couldn't stop, couldn't get enough of each other. I wanted to feel my hands on his skin. I eagerly tore at his shirt, buttons flew in every direction as I exposed his skin. A contented sigh escaped my lips as I ran my hands over his chest. He pulled away, leaving me heaving as I drew in a much needed breath. Breathy moans filled the air as he left a trail of wet kisses down my neck to my exposed cleavage. I gasped as he sucked on my skin, biting gently and lapping at it like a starved man. His hand moved beneath my nightgown, touching every dip and curve of my body, setting off every nerve beneath my skin, goosebumps exploding all over me. His face buried in my chest, causing my breasts to jiggle beneath the satin material of my gown. My

MERILYN'S POV “What happened at breakfast today?” I asked, my hand linked around Kairen’s arm. “Nothing important.” “No, it’s not. It's like I touched a forbidden topic that no one wants to talk about. How would I know how to avoid it next time if you don't tell me what it is?” "Some stories are meant to stay buried, Merilyn." A vein ticked at the side of his head. “Kairen,” I halted, making him face me. “Tell me. What was it?” He hesitated, his eyes flickering back and forth. “Soulmates are a very sensitive topic for both of them. It used to be for the three of us, but now I have you. As for my brothers…” he trailed off. “You can tell me.” “It's all my fault.” He sighed. “I made them this way.” My brows furrowed. “What do you mean?” “Every single time we think we understand the curse, it evolves, changes pattern, and comes in a different form.” He began. “I've lost control so many times, Merilyn. And in each one, the innocent were always on the receiving end.”

MERILYNThe sounds of birds chirping in the distance filled my ears. I frowned as I slowly awoke to consciousness.For a minute, everything looked strange. Where was I?But as my gaze roamed around the room, taking in the familiar colors of the curtains, the painting, the regalness of Kairen’s bedroom, I almost let out a sob.I'm back. I'm really back.Kairen’s head jerked up, and his gaze met mine. “You're awake.” He exhaled, moving next to me as he gathered me in his arms.I wrapped my hands around his neck, tears running down my cheeks. “I was so scared, Kairen. I thought I'd never see you again. I thought I'd never come back home.”My body shook as I cried in his arms. The fear of the carriage knocking me out, of feeling my blood pool below my head, still weighed heavily on my heart.“Shh, it's alright. I'm here now. And I've got you.”I gripped his shirt tightly, burying my face in his neck as he ran his fingers through my hair while patting me gently.After a while, I calmed do
