And I hated just how natural command looked on him, and how much I understood why they obeyed. My hand found a spine I had not meant to touch. The Lunar Trials: Forgotten Queens of the Northern Packs. I read the title twice before my fingers closed around the book. Forgotten queens. The word lodged in my throat like a promise. The cover was heavy, dark blue leather, silver faded to pewter. When I opened it the scent of old paper rose up, dust and ink and something older. I found myself getting lost as I stared at the page for a second, and it was then that I genuinely forgot that I was in the Alpha’s office at all.

River showers first, then Leo, then me, and by the time I emerge in soft leggings and one of Ezra's enormous hoodies that hangs to my knees, the living room has been transformed. The massive sectional sofa that dominates the space is covered in blankets and pillows, and someone has dimmed the lights to that perfect golden glow that makes everything feel warm and safe. Jax appears from the kitchen carrying a tray loaded with fresh cookies, popcorn, cut fruit, and what looks like homemade brownies, and I'm struck by how domestic this all is. How normal. Five massive alpha wolves and their mate settling in for movie night like we're a regular family instead of something the supernatural world a

“You’ll serve as a maid in your new pack. At least you won’t starve there.” And with that, he signaled the driver to leave. As the carriage rolled away, I cried silently, staring back at the home I’d never see again. “Where are we going?” I asked the driver after hours of silence. “To Wolvehowl Pack,” he replied softly. My heart sank. I’d heard stories about Wolvehowl and its Alpha—a cruel, merciless man who ruled with an iron fist. I was being delivered straight to a monster. When we finally arrived, the driver tapped my shoulder gently. “Miss, we’re here,” he said.

I like taking my time, that way, I can get used to the idea of living with Xander. Sitting behind the counter in the bookstore, I listen to Vincent talking to his cars while I place an order for new books. One of those books is The Art of War by Sun Tsu. I want to read it and see why Alexei loves it so much. My thoughts turn to the BBQ, and I must admit, I enjoyed it a lot. And Rosemarie was right. Everyone seemed pretty normal. I don’t know what I expected. Maybe guns and men smoking cigars while plotting the end of the world?

"You're already in a sad situation, you shouldn't worsen it. Crying and brooding will only make you sick." "Aisha, I'm just scared they might harm Samiat, I don't know who has done this but it's just so unfair, she's an easygoing girl who doesn't even pry into other people's affairs, like what do they want? And her father? How will he feel once he finds out his daughter is missing?" She couldn't hold back the tears. "I'm so sad and worse enough, I'm confined to this bed, using a wheel chair to convey myself, I really don't know, I just feel so frustrated. Not being able to walk is something I've never planned for in my life, I can't believe this is happening to me."

Mom jumped up instantly. "You've learned to talk back now? As if you are so well-liked. "You have the exact same disposition as your useless father! You'll never measure up to Freya." I closed the door while she continued to rant into the night. So I put on headphones and began packing my luggage. Early the next morning, I went out to buy the things needed for the mountains. Snake repellent, mosquito repellent, a first aid kit... When I returned, the house door was slightly ajar.

Samuel couldn't understand. Everything was messed up when they got to the Anvin Kingdom with the jet. His Alpha was messed up while Luna's state was quite scary. And… "Only he can deal with Alpha George at the moment." Rain reasoned briefly. He suddenly turned and looked at Samuel who was still reluctant. "Don't tell me that you want Alpha George to die before paying for his past Mistakes? I want him to watch everything get taken away from him so that's why we should bring Brice here right now." His ever-cold voice was now back and he seemed to be the merciless Rain that Samuel grew up with.

"One down, two to go" Evelyn said feeling victorious "Glad" Zach said "Congratulations on owning back half of your family's wealth which was supposed to be yours from the start" Wade said "Thanks Wade, but this isn't time to be celebrating, the Aragon's are next" Evelyn said "I believe so, but then you will not be going back to them as a poor girl or as Evelyn Morse, but as a billionaire and owner of Mill's enterprise" Wade said "Not just that, the new owner of Aragon's holdings" Zach added

He popped in a k-cup and opened the fridge wondering what he should make for breakfast. The small vibration from his phone broke his attention and he went to pick it up. His beta's number flashed on the screen. "Everything go smoothly?" David asked when he answered. "Not really. The beta wanted to hold us all hostage, said you kidnapped his mate. One of them notified the Alpha though, who stepped in. I think they had to restrain him, but we're all back safe and sound. Except for Marilyn." "That guy's kind of a dick huh?" "I liked the black eye he had. So what gives? Why did our weekend get cut short?"

But because my sister, Raven Webster, thought Snowviper was too terrifying to look at, she stole Blazewing for herself. A month later, the whole world turned hotter, and the heatwave apocalypse began. Snowviper's power, just like his name, could lower the temperature within ten feet of him, creating a living shield against the burning world. Blazewing, on the other hand, carried the opposite—heat and fire. Raven took Blazewing, but she died of heat stroke in the heatwave apocalypse, while I survived thanks to Snowviper's cooling power. In her final moments, Raven was convinced I had stolen her husband. She whispered poison into Snowviper's ear, and he killed me.
