~Axel~I hadn’t been this angry in a long time—not since Lyra died. But this wasn’t just anger; it was worry, a deep, gnawing concern that consumed me when I learned Tamara was missing. The news hit me like a punch to the gut, dredging up painful memories of Lyra. She had vanished two days before he
‘’Axel, you jerk.’’A smile formed on my face, knowing that she was fine and was also thinking about me, but I couldn’t help but feel like we were being watched by someone. I looked around us but found nothing suspicious, and then I turned back to Tamara and gently lifted her off the bench into my a
‘’so you’d rather have a baby on your own!’’‘’At least I wouldn’t have to be controlled by you all the time!’’ she yelled again and sighed heavily, placing a hand on her forehead as she tried to catch her breath. ‘’I can’t do anything anymore because you always make sure that I am being watched, an
~Tamara~I burst through the door of my room, slamming it shut behind me. I leaned against the door, my chest heaving as I struggled to catch my breath. I wanted to run away. I wanted to escape the suffocating grip Axel had on my life. I wished that I could flee from the constant control, the endles
The man’s response sent ice coursing through my veins. ‘’I am your greatest nightmare,’’ he whispered into my ear. ‘’Run!’’ he shouted at me, then looked down at my stomach. ‘’This child, you will never have it! Kill them, child, and go far away!’’ he said and tried to drop me to the ground, but bef
I felt a chill run down my spine, and I tried to remember where I had met him. I had never gone anywhere since I met Axel except from the park. Could I have met him there? ‘’why is he telling me to run and not have the baby?’’Axel frowned. ‘’because he has a score to settle with me, and that was wh
~Axel~My eyes fluttered open to find Tamara’s face inches away from mine. Her skin glowed softly in the morning light that shone from her window. Her lips were slightly parted, and the urge to move closer and kiss her overtook me. It brought back memories of Lyra and me.I reached out to touch her
I turned to Tamara and grabbed her hand, carefully caressing it. ‘’You are mine to protect, now. And I will stop at nothing to keep you safe, so you do it when I tell you to do something. Is that clear?’’She nodded in response. ‘’Crystal.’’‘’Good,’’ I grabbed her hand and pulled her out of the bat
I couldn’t bear to watch them acting foolishly when I had something else to deal with. I looked toward Tamara and saw her staring back at me, expecting me to say or do something.As I watched their argument unfold, I could feel the tension in the room rising. It was clear that both Emma and Gaion ha
I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself down. But as Emma’s words continued to echo in my mind, I felt my control slipping away. I could feel the rage building inside me, threatening to consume me completely.Without even realizing it, my hands had clenched into fists, my nails digging into the
~Axel~“Leave!” I yelled at Tamara, and my voice boomed through the room. Everyone was startled by my action, and even my wolf reacted by growling in my head. Tamara walked towards me, and concern was carved on her face. ''Are you alright?'' she askedI took a step back, my voice coming out like a
I gritted my teeth, fists clenching. "I knew you planned this!" I yelled. "What do you hope to gain? How?" I lunged at him, aiming for his stomach, but he vanished into thin air.Ian’s laughter echoed as he reappeared behind me. "Be careful now, brother," he said, his tone dripping with malice. "I’v
~Axel~"Where is she?" I questioned the guard I’d assigned to stay by Tamara’s side at the workplace as soon as he reached the mansion. I had expected to see Tamara, but she was nowhere to be found, and instead, the guard had come to report to me alone."She retired to her room as soon as we arrived
~Tamara~As I walked beside Axel toward the front of the company, my heart pounded with anticipation. All eyes turned toward us as we entered my department, the buzz of conversation halting. Employees stared, their curiosity evident, and I felt a flush creep up my neck. Axel, the alpha king, strode
I raised an eyebrow. The witch was the key to bringing down my brother, and Emma had hinted a few days ago that she might be connected to her. “Go on.”Gerald leaned forward, his eyes intense. “It’s our daughter, Axel.”I frowned, confused at what he had said. “Your daughter?”“Yes, the witch,” Gera
~Axel~I walked beside Tamara as we approached the company entrance, her presence drawing the eyes of the employees around us. They stared, whispering among themselves as we walked in. Tamara remained by my side, hiding her face because she had been against that when I suggested it in the morning, b
~Tamara~Axel gently laid me on the bed, leaning in to kiss me again. “Tamara,” he said, his voice low and rough. His hands found my face, thumbs brushing my cheeks gently, and I felt my heart racing with every touch. “I meant it when I said that you were my future back in the dream. I don't know if
