MaliyahThis was probably the worst idea. Ever. One would think I’d have nothing more to worry about other than the death that was creeping around the corner thanks to the curse I’d been given. But whoever thought that obviously didn’t foresee that I was about to be thrown into the grounds and trained to become a warrior. The field was green, wide, and open. It was located behind the estate and next to the Dark River. Beyond that river, I heard, was a territory we weren’t allowed to cross as it was another pack’s estate. I wasn’t very knowledgeable about locations. I had little to no involvement with my old pack to know stuff like this. As soon as my foot was set on the grass, what came to view were members of the pack already undergoing warmup. Little practice fights were going on, here and there. Everyone wore whatever they were comfortable with. And a black leather jacket was a popular choice, making my brown cardigan look like a joke. I attempted to strip out of it, but before

DimitriIt’s hard to look in the mirror sometimes. Realizing I’d been born with a curse. I am mateless. Loveless. And the struggle to find an organic connection had been making itself way too difficult as years continue to pass. When I turned eighteen and shifted, all I craved was the bond from one to another. I wanted the attachment, the attention, the unconditional love. And a lot of she-wolves had come and gone and attempted to be my Luna. As much as I despised it, I couldn’t blame them. Bloodsky is the strongest pack ever known. Anyone would kill to run with us. I’ve always taken pride in that. But it was difficult to accept that sometimes whenever I’d remember I was their cursed Alpha. Something about it made me feel undeserving of the place. All the alphas I knew had their Luna. And I didn’t. Well, not until Maliyah Lovegood. My heart started beating again, regardless if she wasn’t truly mated to me. Our ties weren’t as organic as I would’ve hoped, but my heart didn’t race

MaliyahI gasped at the sound of Alonso’s voice linked in my head. Questions started clouding my head. Did he find out I was his mate? How could that be possible?“Everything all right?” Dimitri asked.I hesitated a nod. And for a moment he seemed convinced. I knew that coming out of the Midmoon pack wasn’t going to be the start of something good for the rest of us. I knew I’d be in trouble.But I’d rather be in trouble than get killed.“Are you sure?” Dimitri prompted.“Yes, of course. Shall we?” I plastered a small smile on my face and brushed the thoughts away.If I was going to fight a bigger battle, I’ll need to reserve my strength from overthinking so much.On our way to Bloodsky’s estate, I tried my best to be present at the moment.I was moving into a completely different place with completely different pack members. And while that part made me anxious, I also couldn’t stop thinking about Alonso’s thoughts linked to me.Only those with a certain connection could do that. Obvio

Maliyah I was holding my breath. This wasn’t the first time Argan had seen someone turn. But this was the first time someone had threatened him. He was always protected and highly regarded. Cain shifted back. He was now nude in front of me and not a trace of shame on his face. He walked towards the others standing behind him. One of them handed him a coat. “Help Maliyah pack. I’ll go get Dimitri,” Cain ordered. “And get that man out of here,” he added, glaring at Argan who was being picked up from the floor. Before I knew it, Cain was already off to get Dimitri and Argan was being dragged out of my room. “Shame on you!” He exclaimed, “How dare you shame your pack like this! You’ll never belong anywhere!” Argan’s voice was full of venom as he screamed these words. He said stuff like this that pierced through my bones whenever he was intoxicated but I could never learn not to let it get to me. And so, as usual, it weighed on my heart. It didn’t take me long before my things were

MaliyahAlonso was about to put an attack in motion.It wasn’t long until Dimitri’s pack was behind us. The room shifted into full panic. What once was festive was now seemingly a battleground.Alonso kept a fist raised halfway, to stop his members from pushing forward. And they all gladly followed. All of their eyes were set on me and Dimitri as if they’d kill us if Alonso wasn’t in command.“Maliyah just received my mark and she is to leave with us after this assembly,” Dimitri stated calmly, as though none of his words provoked anybody in the room.His pack was just as ready as Midmoon. Lowly growls and hissing sounds bounced back and forth between the packs and the guests from the assembly had cleared the way.Other Alphas remained on the side, probably preparing for the worst.Uneasiness wrapped my entirety as my breathing started to hitch. I felt myself lean on Dimitri as my chest continued to tighten. Dimitri called on someone else.“Cain,” he called. “Stand for me,”Cain was j

The word YES was stuck in my throat.While I was desperate for help, I was only hesitant as I did not like the idea of being owned. I was my own person and my own wolf. If the men can be on their own, why can’t we she-wolves be?Time ticked and the blood in my veins began to rush through and fill my cheeks red. Was I ready to receive Dimitri’s mark?If it were up to me, I wouldn’t have chosen to rely on someone else. But it wasn’t.In order to escape this, I’d need the right allies and Dimitri fit the bill.“What’s with the hesitation?” He asked calmly, “Do you, perhaps, still love Alonso?” I was struck by his question.“No,” I immediately answered—quicker than lightning. “Alonso has no regard for us she-wolves. All he cares about is his position as Alpha and not really about the pack. He’s impossible to love,”Dimitri’s dark eyes slightly circled and then softened.“Very well then, answer this—” a beat passed, “are you ready to give yourself up to me completely, Maliyah?”I gulped as
