"What the fuck was that about, Kairo?" Kellan spat out the exact moment the females were out of earshot down the trail.I pressed my lips together into a hard line, completely ignoring my younger brother."Don't you dare ignore me right now," Kellan growled, stepping into my path. "I have always really liked Nia. She is completely single now after what happened with that border warrior, and I think—"I shot up from the stone wall and got right into his face, my inner wolf baring its fangs. "You cannot have her, Kellan!"Brother or not, I would beat his face black and blue right here on the grass if his claws ever touched her skin."That is definitely not up to you to decide, Alpha," he spat back, his chest heaving as he refused to back down from my gaze.I grabbed him hard by his thick leather collar and lifted his boots right off the stone patio. "Yes, it is my choice. And you will not touch a single hair on her head.""What the fuck is wrong with your mind?" he choked out, clawing a

What a total clusterfuck.I didn't have the whole story—nobody in the territory did—until I spoke directly to the actual female my father had obsessed over. Unfortunately, that talk happened months after I had already broken Nia's heart. And Imani's innocent daughter had to bear the full, heavy brunt of my revenge.I knew I had to let her go back then. I knew our wolves could never truly mate; her mother had sealed that doom before Nia was even born. The best thing that had ever happened to my wolf, and it had lasted less than twelve hours.Suddenly, my desk crystal buzzed loudly on the wood. "A female named Candace is on line two, Alpha."Damn it, I really did not want to hear from that northern wolf today. I had already sent her a massive payment of pack resources just for letting Callum Hayes between her legs to ruin his relationship with Nia.I picked up the communication link. "Speak.""Kairo, it's me," her voice purred through the line."What do you want from me now?" I barked o

"You shouldn't play with real wolves, Nia," the dark words echoed inside my head on a terrible loop.I spent the entire afternoon walking fast through the trees, pure rage boiling inside my chest. Those were the exact cruel words Kairo Adeyemi had growled at me the morning after I gave him my virginity under the full moon.Obviously, the Supreme Alpha kept his promise and did not say a single thing about that night to Zuri or Kellan. Because those two siblings were still totally happy to see my face. I was really starting to regret traveling down to Silvermoon Hollow. Kellan was right; I had been avoiding the pack for seasons. How could I not after what happened between my wolf and Kairo? The horrible words he dished out, and that dark Forbidden Bloodline Prophecy about what my mother did to his high alpha father... secrets I never knew existed.It was only four in the afternoon, and there was so much restless, wild energy buzzing inside my veins I thought my skin would burst. I heade

A loud buzzing started in my ears like a low hum, intensifying with every passing second until it threatened to drown out all my logic. I wanted to lash out, scratch his face, scream at the top of my lungs at the sky. I finally understood what wolves meant by a crime of passion because I was so damn furious I could kill a male right now. Kairo Adeyemi was a fucking bastard. A manipulative, arrogant, cruel bastard.Suddenly, the sound of screeching tires breached the heavy fog of my anger, but I did not even raise my head to look down the dirt road. I just focused entirely on the boiling fury inside my chest, picturing all the ways I could destroy Kairo."That explanation is totally pathetic," I muttered to Callum. My wolf would never jump into a stranger's bed just to drown out the memory of another lover. Or maybe I did that exact same thing? While trying to forget the pain Kairo caused me, I had settled for Callum. "Who was the female wolf?""I don't even know her name," Callum conf

Goddamn this male. I wanted so badly to forget that one incredible night of pleasure with him so I could finally have a clean slate for my future. I lost important pieces of my soul that night under the full moon, and nothing in my life had ever been the same since. I needed to move on.He just stood there stoic and completely unmoving on the path. His jaw was locked tight, showing that ruthless stubbornness and cruelty on his beautiful face as he watched me breathe."Nothing to say to me?" I scowled, my voice shaking hard from the adrenaline. I usually never raised my voice at any wolf, but around this specific male, all my wolf wanted to do was scream. When he remained silent, I continued, "I am not that weak, innocent girl from five years ago at the academy anymore, Alpha. I won't just sit around and take your sick, twisted punishments, Kairo."My eyes locked onto the red handprint currently marking his cheekbone, and instantly, a wave of regret hit my stomach. This violent behavio

"Fucking Callum Hayes," I growled, my claws digging deep into the steering wheel as I tore down the forest trail.That weak northern pup actually tried to play the hero and take what belonged to my wolf. I was half tempted to turn my vehicle around, hunt him down in the brush, and rip his throat completely out of his neck. But Nia would instantly know my scent was behind the blood. All that stupid warrior had to do was accept the massive stash of pack resources I threw at him and go knot some other female on the border lines. It was a simple trade, but his greedy mind had to fuck that up too. He actually thought he was smart enough to come sniffing around Nia's healing quarters. Wrong, little wolf. So fucking wrong. Her scent was mine.The exact second my scout's mind-link alerted me that Callum had crossed into the valley, I walked right out of the High Alpha Council meeting halfway through the session and drove my truck like a complete maniac toward the treeline. Seeing those two si

Truthfully, I should have known I was bound to eventually cross paths with his shadow if Zuri and I remained pack-bond sisters. She was my absolute best friend in the world, and I refused to give up our friendship. Especially not on account of some ancient history or affair my mother and his father had way before Zuri and I were even born as pups. Wolves made massive mistakes, and I could not take physical responsibility for what Chief Adewale and Imani had done in the woods. I truly regretted that it had hurt his royal mother, but that was just as much his father's fault as it was my mother's choice. Besides, my mother had more than paid for that sin in a devastating, hurtful way by the end of her life.I certainly was not willing to give up my bond with my best friend just because her oldest brother dumped my wolf after one night of amazing, incredible sex under the stars. I had fantasized about Kairo Adeyemi from the very first moment Zuri introduced us at the academy. Even back wh

"Don't you dare say it," I stopped her words instantly. "It was just as much my own pack stupidity as it was his fault."I had absolutely no idea why my tongue was defending the Supreme Alpha right now. He sure as hell did not deserve my protection. Yes, my mother's actions broke their family line, but maybe their pack house was already broken from within, and Imani was just an easy scapegoat for the elders. Either way, it didn't justify the cruel way he treated my body back then."Why didn't you ever say something to me about him?"I kept my lips sealed. I couldn't tell her about the dark understanding Kairo and I had come to after that night. He promised he wouldn't tell his sister—who was my absolute best friend—that my mother was the main cause of their family's grief, and I promised I wouldn't tell her that he had used my body for cheap blood revenge. Truthfully though, I never fully understood what kind of revenge that was supposed to be. Nobody in the territory would ever know

"My wolf wants this too," Zuri whispered in my ear, completely shocking my system. She was usually so wild, but tonight she was acting like a perfectly behaved pack-bonded sister."I have to insist we leave for the Shadow Den Network," Regi added, stepping right into my personal space.I rolled my eyes hard, but the foolish northern warrior didn't even notice my frustration because his eyes were busy gawking at the front of my red festival dress instead of meeting my gaze. He could insist all he wanted, but my wolf would never run with a stranger."The next round of heavy moon-liquor is entirely on my resource tab," Regi announced, acting like his basic offer was a gift from the First Alpha Line itself. He shoved the fresh glass right into my palm, and short of throwing it in his face, I just took the cup. I had no intention of letting a single drop touch my lips. "Let's move out to my truck—""These two young females are completely occupied," a deep, booming alpha voice growled from

"No." Oh crap, he used the ancient high-alpha dialect tone, which meant if I kept pushing him, my stupid body might do something incredibly reckless. Just remember, he is a massive jerk, sexy royal accent or not, I kept telling my inner wolf over and over. "I am personally driving you to the dominion."I was genuinely thankful that his sharp senses had saved me from drinking a drugged cup, but I was incredibly agitated that he thought he had any right to dictate my movements, especially after the blowout we had this afternoon."Listen to me, Kairo, you do not get to tell my wolf who I go home with," I gritted out through my teeth. But before I could get another syllable out of my mouth, his massive physical body slammed directly against mine, pinning my chest against the side of his vehicle.His mouth crashed down onto my lips with pure, untamed savagery—nipping, biting, and deeply tasting my mouth. All logical reason instantly fled my brain, and my physical body completely melted aga
