It was a lie, but I didn’t know what else to tell her. The two had bonded so fast, just like she had bonded with her aunt Rave and uncle King.Just like she’d promised, Beth had found us after things had settled. No one knows how, and she refused to tell us. She stayed with us, but around mid-last y
Raven. When I woke up this morning, I didn’t think that things would go to shit the way they were going right now. I’m a witch, a special witch, as my mom used to tell me. I got that odd feeling first thing when I opened my eyes. That heavy weight on my chest, that premonition of something bad hap
“What the hell is she?” Someone whispered next to me. The question brought me back to what Sadie had said the two vampires had asked her when they were feeding. Could this be what they meant? Is it possible that they sensed something in her blood, something that none of us knew about her? Her dead
It takes their Alpha roaring in pain to unfreeze his people. I guess they were in shock; no one has ever been able to defeat the mighty Alpha Alec until now. The fact that he was defeated by the same woman he tortured is a surprise. I sense a different kind of aura. It wasn’t as powerful as that of
Anonymous.Sighing, I lean back against my seat and just stare at spot on my mahogany desk. Like I said, everything was going according to plan, but I still didn’t know how to bring him completely back.So far, what I’ve found is that I need her. I need her powers. My mother put a spell on him. One
Sadie. I use the sliding doors to enter my room through the balcony. Slowly, I walk towards the full-length mirror and just silently stare at myself. I was confused about what happened or what the hell I was. I turn to my right, then to my left, and check out the white pair of wings that were on m
"Come Again?” Raven’s eyes blink at me almost comically.“Micah helped me escape when I was in the dungeon,” I repeated.They both looked at me with shock plastered on their faces. I get their reaction, though. I would be surprised if the positions had been switched.King releases a breath of air. “
AlecI groan as my eyes flutter open. The putrid smell assaults me, and pain consumes me in every inch of my body.It takes me a while for my brain to load, but when I do, both Knox and I release a ferocious roar. That fucking little bitch. I can’t believe that she broke my damn spine. There would d
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
