There wasn’t much to talk about after everything poured out of King. After our conversation, Raven invited him for dinner. I wasn’t in any position to help, so King and Raven took care of everything. After having our meal, I went straight to sleep. My body was tired and wired at the same time. I wa
I love coffee; it is my lifeline, but since we learned I was pregnant, Raven has limited the amount I take. His things are already packed, but he is seated, and he looks mighty frustrated. “I was going to leavee. I’d even gotten my things and was about to leave, but something inside me stopped me.
Alec. It’s been a couple of weeks since Sadie died and Piper left the pack. Things have been fucking terrible, and I don’t even know how the hell I’m going to fix everything that is happening. The pack is getting weaker as the days go by. A few days ago, there was a rogue attack, and we almost fuc
“Good evening, Alpha; I’m here on behalf of the other elders,” he bows slightly. Unlike what humans think, elders aren’t above the Alpha. Sure, they are above other pack members, but they aren’t above the Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and their mates. They also aren’t involved in the daily politics of the pa
Anonymous POV I walked through the hallway of my dark castle, a smile on my face. Everything was going according to plan. Everything was going my way, and I couldn’t help but be happy. It's been a long time since I’ve been happy. A long time since I’ve been this excited about anything. I can’t wai
Sadie I walked through the forest, feeling the effects of the full moon. Its power was around me, shifting like a caged animal. I could feel it inside me. On my skin and in my bones. I’ve waited for this day since I knew who we were. What we turn into. I’ve been waiting for this day since I knew w
“I don’t get it, so she told you that you'd have all the benefits of a shifted wolf, but you won’t be able to shift?” King asked incredulously, his face conveying how hard he was finding it hard to believe me. I nodded my head, still reeling from what Nyx had told me. I’d stayed in the forest fo
“Would it be so bad to let go of the old Sadie?” Nyx asked, popping into my consciousness. It took a while to get used to sharing my body with her, but eventually, it got easier. “Yes” “Why?” She seemed genuinely curious. “I mean, I don’t want to come off as cold and heartless, but the old you
AlecThe conference room was silent, the kind of silence that amplifies every thought, every heartbeat. Everyone had dispersed—Raven with the elders, Micah and Jason to rally the warriors. That left Sadie and me alone, the air between us thick with unspoken words and unresolved tension.I stood by t
Micah was the one to respond this time, arms crossed over his chest. “That’s the point, isn’t it? Keep everyone in the dark long enough to move undetected. She probably knew we’d catch on eventually, so she built this army as a distraction. A shield. While we’re too busy fighting off her hybrids, sh
SadieThey were all staring at me now. My words hung in the air like a dense fog, the weight of my suspicion pressing down on everyone in the room. I could see it in their eyes—confusion, shock, and a hesitant flicker of understanding starting to form.Before anyone could speak, Raven's voice cut in
“Wait,” Raven said slowly, breaking the stunned silence. Her voice was low, exhausted, but clear. “Did Nyx actually tell you that Kaden and Xena are connected?”I looked at her.“No,” I said. “She didn’t have to.”Raven frowned. “Then how—?”“It was in the way she felt.” My fingers curled around the
“We reached out to other packs,” added Elder Thorn, his tone clipped with frustration. “We thought perhaps they’d have some forgotten text buried in their vaults. But even with access granted, we came up empty.”“There’s no record of Kaden,” said Elder Mira, her silver braid falling over her shoulde
SadieRaven and I sat side by side in the large conference room. Last night, before Alec left my room after kissing Aspen goodnight, he had reminded me of today’s meeting. Something that I had completely forgottenThe room was quiet, thick with silence and tension that sat heavy on everyone’s should
“We haven’t confirmed she’s Nyx’s sister,” I reminded him. “That’s just a theory.”“Yeah,” Jason said. “But it feels right. I can’t explain it. I can’t stop thinking of her that way.”He wasn’t wrong. The moment the idea got rooted in my mind, it made sense. There were no coincidences. Everything po
Alec.The evening mist clung to the trees like breath on glass—thick and heavy. The last light of the sun bled across the sky, casting everything in gold and shadow. My warriors moved through it like ghosts, their grunts and the sharp smack of fists against flesh breaking through the quiet. I watche
“I’m not trying to win you back because of Calvin,” she said, her voice steadier now. “I’m here because I miss you, Sadie. I miss my best friend.”And then, just like that, she turned and walked away—rushing out of the library before I could even respond.She hadn’t waited for forgiveness.Just like
