Kain’s POVI’ve finally found her, my mate but the sight of her sets off every bit of my anger I’ve been trying to put on check.Her face bruised and her clothes ripped to the point that she’s almost left bare and naked. Nothing matters anymore. My rage takes over me and all sane thoughts dissipate.I look at the fool I had tossed across the room desiring nothing more than to tear him apart into pieces of flesh lying around and feeding it to the dogs.“You bastard.” I seethe, seeing nothing more than red.I shift into my wolf in the next second lunging at him without restrictions.Or every scar on her skin I add five more on his, every bruise on her body five bones crack under the force of my attacks.I slash at him continuously with my claws while he screams in agony just barely managing to change into his wolf to have even a fighting chance but that changes nothing.He had a death wish the moment he decided to mess with my woman.He tries to attack back but it’s a puny attempt from
Jonah’s POV5 YEARS LATER…Hiding behind the pillar beautifully decorated with flowers by the fountain I stay hushed, pursing my lips together while still covering them with both my hands to stay hidden.I do this all the time and still she still seems to always easily find me when we play this insufferable game.Hide and go seek.An hour at it and she still hasn’t found me yet, which is the longest times he’s taken to find me.Which lead me to think that maybe, just maybe I’m the only one playing this damn game.The thought of just giving up seeps into my mind until I hear footsteps approaching from ahead and stay quiet again.The gentle sound of feet slowly approaching lets me know it’s a she-wolf. Months of training from Beta Ivan comes I perfectly handy in moments like this.Hopefully in a few more years I’ll be able to join brother-in law’s guard, that is if he will let me. My sister’s hold over him has dictated far too much in my life.It’s been years since I’ve fallen ill and n
Kain’s POV2 YEARS LATER…A lot has happened over the years, I’ve lost some gained some; most of it changed my life completely in ways I never knew I need.Now standing over the grave of a child that never got the chance to see the light of day I mourn it as I’ve always does, though I never got the chance to meet him for the split moment I knew of its existence where one of the best moments in my life.Even while everything around us burned and we were bruised the news of his arrival brought a smile to her lips like nothing else could.And though it’s taken more than a few years to get over our loss, we’re still taking small steps to get there.I drop a flower over the small grave.To little sesame, the name Lilith calls it, because it didn’t grow old enough to have a gender.A child’s laughter echoes from behind me while a little girl turns out of her hiding spot rushing for me.Her little feet don’t take her too far before she stumbles and falls face flat on the ground and burst int
LILITH’S POVThe loud pounding at my door is the last thing I need to hear today, especially not after this gloriously shitty week.The last thing I need right now are visitors. I’d finally managed to put Jonah, my brother, to sleep after his latest attack.After hooking him to a ventilator and watching his labored breathing finally settle into soft and well-paced slow breaths, I drop everything else I’m doing and march up to the front door, almost ripping out it’s hinges due to a bit too much wolf strength put in in my fit of annoyance.Well, we can fix that later…My wolf huffs within me, knowing that there’s a 70% chance we’re going to ignore it for weeks till it actually becomes a nuisance we can’t ignore.“What is it?” I scream out before looking at who it is.It only takes a moment to recognize twiddle dee and twiddle dum, A.K.A the Gregory twins; tall, huge, hunchbacked twins.Alpha Arden’s dogs.They stand, towering over me with almost a feet height difference while glaring ba
LILITH’S POVOne moment, I’m lost in mesmerizing green orbs that call out to me.The next, I’m being stuffed into the back of a fancy midnight black car like a perfectly wrapped Christmas gift with a bag over my head.My wolf seems almost as restless as I am when it comes to mind and then, the unsettling feeling that remains in my chest — the feeling that whatever we’re are about to meet in Deathstone pack could potentially change the course of my life into something drastic.Luckily, I’m a sucker for an adventure.***The drive to Deathstone pack is much longer than anticipated, extending past more than a few hours while I’m still heavily blindfolded till the car comes to a halt finally.The door is pulled open and the sack over my head roughly pulled off without remorse.“Get up, we’re here.” The gruff guard growls in my face while dragging me out unceremoniously and in the advent, banging my head against the roof.I wince, gnashing my teeth while calming the rage simmering within m
KAIN’S POVI knew it was her from the moment she walked into my office by that exotic maddening scent wafting off her skin, just like it had that night.She was exceptional, alluring physically, standing out in a crowd of simply bland women.The perfect add to my collection.Her unusual, almost white hair and crystal blue eyes were like none other, far from the typical, and then the daring stare she passed my way.I threw away the measly price of only 2 million to get her as mine rightfully. She’s nothing but a pretty trophy among many others, to simply show that I have the best of everything and more.Looking up from my desk now and seeing her, however, has me momentarily irked as I haven’t given an order for her to stand before me yet.Order.That’s how I want things to work in my pack. Order is everything, makes everything flow smoothly.Anything out of order is disorder, and I can’t stand for that. But looking at her face right now, staring at me with feigned wide innocent eyes… t
LILITH’ POVThe hard cold stares are even much worse than it had been at my pack, and I walk past every single one of them, wondering why and yet keeping my distance.How exactly am I going to integrate into this system when no one wants to talk to me? There’s no chance of getting a good whiff of even a bit of gossip from anyone.I haven’t met a single soul here that isn’t hostile towards me, all taking after their psycho Alpha. I walk past a couple practically glaring bitterly at me.“Xenos bitch.” He growls ferally.It takes everything in me not to turn right back and go full wolf out on his ass, but I don’t.Years of tolerance helps me quell my blood thirsty burst of anger from the demeaning comment. He isn’t worth it, Lilith.Instead, I smile at the fucker, waving back at him and watching him flinch back like he suddenly has a stroke.Acting unaffected is the best way possible to deal with assholes, and my wolf nods in agreement. I walk a bit more, hoping to find something, per
LILITH’S POV: Alpha Kain Gerard is just as the rumors say, even worse.His cold dead cruel eyes stared down at me as though my worth was nothing more than a piece of copper he could easily crush between his fists.Those eyes are the last thing staring back at me as I’m being dragged very disgracefully back to my room and tossed in like a rag doll.Once the doors are shut, the next sound that follows is the door being bolted together, sealing me in.Shit.My pride is wounded with nothing worthwhile to show for it, while that pretentious narcisstic prick entertains himself at my own expense.What I would give to smack that look off his fucking face.I sigh, falling back onto the soft covers of my bed, feeling heavily exhausted.Now that the adrenaline rush is gone, I can feel the blood pumping in my head, followed by the mindshattering headache seeking to ruin my mind.The pain of the bruise is more evident than ever.Damn those little rats that should never have been let out of their
