Novels by Laurel O.

Destiny’s POVI’ve felt fear before. When I was ten and my parents were burned alive right before my eyes. I felt fear when I realized I was going to be left alone with monsters who were my pack mates. The fear I felt when I was being chased in the woods after my banishment. That kind of fear. But nothing, and I mean nothing, could compare to the terror that skidded down my spine right now. My body instantly turned to ice as a serpent appeared from behind the bushes. I could swear my heartbeat could be heard from miles away; my hands were trembling like a leaf in a storm. My wolf knew that even if I changed, I was going to be swallowed up like I was a strand of spaghetti. My breaths were shuddering, my eyes fixed on the monster. For a brief minute, I thought I might be hallucinating. That this was just one of the effects of the bite. But I didn’t hallucinate yesterday, so it couldn’t be.The snake was now several feet away from me, its tongue slithering out like a fork as it mad

Destiny’s POVMy thighs were pressed together, my back against a tree trunk while I sat on the ground, my eyes raised to the full moon.I felt a bead of sweat roll down my face. I didn't need to dress warm after all. Another throb went through my middle, the feeling of it on a borderline between pain and pleasure.I let out a groan, my voice a low mumble, “Fuck you, Alpha Theo, wherever you are. Fuck you.”I closed my eyes, taking short and quick breaths to calm myself down. It did nothing.My wolf was pacing inside me, her tail wagging in concern. She was worried for me.“I’m good. I just—” I exhaled, “I just need a minute.” More like an hour.Another throb went through me, and I couldn't help the moan that escaped me.“Fuckkkk,” I whispered-yelled. The sensation spread through me, and it was almost as if my body was crying for him.For the asshole who did this to me.I was sure my panties were soaked. Even the slight breeze that tickled my body was making my nipples hard through my

Destiny’s POVWe were back in Rose’s room, both sitting on her bed with a map of the pack grounds between us.“Listen closely to what I have to tell you and promise me you will tell no one about this,” Rose said, her face serious.“I promise I won’t tell anyone. I just want to get out of here,” I said.She searched my eyes for a moment, those blue orbs of hers holding conflict. It seemed whatever she saw in mine convinced her as she took in a deep breath, seemingly satisfied, “There’s a slight breach on the wall on the far east of the pack.”I raised a brow, lots of questions in my mind.“Don’t ask me how I know that. You just want to get out of here, right?” she said while she avoided my eyes, her gaze lingering on the map a moment that was longer than necessary before flicking back to me. I gave a nod, “Sure.”The questions swirled around in my head, threatening to come out from my mouth.Questions like, was she the only one who knew about the breach in the wall?What if she wasn’t

Destiny’s POVCondescending. Accusing. Judging.Those were the only ways I could describe the stares on my face.Maria had a look of satisfaction in her eyes, a glint that told me she loved every second of everything happening right now.My face was red with barely concealed anger as I glared back at the crowd. “I’m not a rogue,” I said, my voice a mix between shaky and firm.“She’s not the rogue we’re looking for, guys, trust me,” Rose defended beside me. She interlocked her fingers with mine, her hands tight on mine as if she was keeping me grounded.Something twanged in my heart and I gave her a look of surprise. She was defending me. The crowd exchanged looks, as if they were confused that the alpha’s sister was siding with someone they believed to be a villain.The elder who accused me didn’t relent, his lips were in a firm line. “Rose, move away from the female. She could be the one who hurt the pack healer, and you’re siding with her.”“Except she wasn’t actually the one who a

Destiny’s POV“So, what’s the plan? How are you going to get me out without raising any suspicions?” Rose was now sitting cross-legged, tapping on something on her phone. She looked up, her blue gaze meeting mine, “You’ll hide in my car while I drive out of the parking grounds.”The same way she had brought in the human. I bit the insides of my cheeks to keep from asking about him. We weren't that close for me to do that. Plus, I wasn't sure she would like that. If that was the plan, it was really simple. I smiled, my grin wide, my heart already racing in anticipation, “I like it. When do we meet?”“An hour before midnight.”“That’s oddly specific. Why exactly that time?” I asked with a raised brow. “It’s the time the switches between the enforcers guarding the place are made. They are less likely to give a thorough check probably because their minds would be hazed with sleep. I’m not particularly sure, but they aren’t at their best then.”“You’ve done this before then,” I said, s

Destiny’s POV“Alpha Theo, you need to see this,” Maria said as she came bursting into the room, her skin sleek with sweat and a panicked look in her eyes.Alpha Theo, who had already seemed to notice her presence, as he was the only person who wasn’t surprised by her outburst, raised a brow.“What is it?” he asked.All attention was on Maria. She took a brief look around the room, halting briefly on mine and then back to Alpha Theo before speaking, “It’ll be best if I tell you on the way.”The alpha shared a look with his beta, and with a nod, they both got to their feet, together with Maria, leaving Rose and me at the table, curiosity on our faces.“Any idea what the problem is?” I said to Rose, my eyes staring at the hallway they disappeared through.From my side eye, I saw her shrug, “Probably just another clue she found concerning the rogues.” Her fork picked up a slice of pancake, bringing it to her mouth, chewing slowly.Whatever the problem was, I was grateful that it had give
