AMIRA Three weeks had passed before he stepped into my room again.No.Not my room.His room.Our room.The door clicked shut behind him, the sound echoing softly in the silence. I felt the air shift as he entered, as though the room itself bent to make space for him.I lay in his bed with the blankets tucked tightly beneath my chin.I was wearing nothing more than a loose cotton T-shirt and a pair of soft shorts.Nothing seductive.Nothing that could possibly be mistaken as an invitation.But clothing had never been able to hide the truth.I could have buried myself beneath layers of winter clothes, and he still would have sensed it.The longing.The hunger.Damn him.Wanting him had become exhausting.Especially here.In his room.In his bed.His scent surrounded me, soaked into the sheets and the pillows until every breath reminded me of him.That had been the entire point.Sleep in his bed.Carry his scent.Play the role of the obedient alpha mate while pretending we hadn't spen

DERRICK Amira’s body curled into mine without thinking, like it still remembered what happened in that cave and wanted it again.Since that night, she had stayed in my head. Not leaving. Not even close.How was she doing this to me? There was no control on my side, but she still pulled at me like I was already caught.The Oracle had said it clearly. As a null, Amira would never feel the bond like I did. It would not touch her the same way. When I finally let her go, she would be able to walk away clean. No pull. No pain. No memory that dragged her back.Maybe that was true. Maybe that was why she could look at me like this and still not break the same way I was breaking.She might not even think about me unless I kept her close in Nightfang Manor. Kept her in my space. Kept her in my bed.And still, it felt like I was the only one losing control.Her scent hit me before anything else. It pulled tight in my chest. Every small sound she made when I touched her went straight

AMIRA It had only been a month, but the Silver Fang Inn was already in terrible shape.Several chairs had been smashed into broken pieces. Graffiti covered both the inside and outside walls. Every bottle on the liquor shelves was gone.The sight hurt.This place had once been my prison. It had also been the only place where I had some kind of identity. It had caused me pain every single day.Now it belonged to me.And it was falling apart."One of the guards told me there was some trouble while Derrick was away," Ronan said as he walked over and stopped behind me. "A few employees didn't take it well after Derrick killed the manager.""What exactly did the manager do?""He tried to rape me," I answered without emotion as I turned to face him.Some of the anger inside me eased.It was good to see Ronan again."I'm not exactly popular around here."He gave me a small, tight smile."I figured that out too. The happy couple everyone thought you and Derrick were back in Moonshade Forest..

AMIRA “Leave or die?” The man let out a mocking laugh. “I heard the new guard was a real hard case, but come on, kid. You need to loosen up. We’re not here to hurt the alpha’s mate. We just want to meet her and ask a few questions.”Two more men walked in behind him. Selene cleared her throat. The sound made him glance her way. The moment he saw her, his face changed, and he froze.“Selene. Nyssa,” he said, his voice suddenly uneasy. “What are you two doing here?”“Helping out,” Selene answered with an easy smile. “Now you're going to help too. Thanks for volunteering. You and your friends can start by carrying all this furniture outside.”The new guard's face turned bright red.One of the other men spun around and tried to run.Nyssa gave him a wild grin and chased after him.Less than a minute later, she came back, dragging him inside by one ear. It looked strange because the man was at least ten years older than she was, but he could not get away from her.“Let go of me,” he sn

AMIRA "Wonderful," I muttered. "Now there are two more people who can overhear what I hoped would stay a very private conversation."Lucian opened the door and announced that we had arrived.To my surprise, a lively witch was already waiting for us in the Lower Hearth Kitchen."You're finally here!" Seraphina said with a bright smile. "I've been asking to speak with you every day for the past week, but Derrick kept telling me you were still getting used to life with the pack.""He did?" A frown crossed my face. "I've been asking to see you too, but he kept saying you were still recovering. Looks like he just didn't want us meeting.""Can you really blame him?" She laughed softly and gave me a quick wink before looking at the men. "Gentlemen, we'd like to sit in the living room and talk. If we promise not to go anywhere, can we please have a little privacy?""After he's finished checking the house," Lucian answered in a flat voice.Several minutes passed while he completed his walk-th
