I’ve been trying not to think about what happened yesterday. Trying to block it out because, one, I didn’t know how to handle it and two, I didn’t have all the information.“Yes, in a way,” she answered with one eye open.“What does that mean?”“It means that even though her powers will be a bit wat
Alec.“Mate”Sadie and I say at the same time, both of us frozen in shock.Fuck! You’ve got to be fucking me. I feel like I’ve been hit by a boulder. Of all the people to be my mate, the savior of my pack, why did it have to be her?"No,” she snarled, pulling deep breaths into her lungs. “Just fucki
“Why you…” he goes to attack her, but she flings her hand, sending him flying and crashing against the wall behind us.“Well, that’s new,” she murmured, looking at her hands.Jason gets up, and Micah stops him before he can try to launch another attack on Sadie.“I’m not happy about this, and Alec i
Fuck! I did not see that coming. A sharp pain travels along my spine. I swear to the goddess, my legs almost give out.“Did you just reject me?” I asked in shock.I can’t fucking believe it. We managed to keep the news of Lola rejecting me between me, Jason, Micah, and the elders. If word ever got o
No one has ever managed to catch me off-guard, but Sadie has been doing it since I got here. The blows just kept coming one after another, and it was getting hard to keep up with all of them.“Y-you’re the Alpha?” Jason mumbles the words in disbelief.Even Micah looks as shocked as we were. I guess
Sadie.I stared at Alec, and I knew that something was working in his mind. It was quite clear that he didn’t like the fact that I was his mate, or the fact that I rejected him. To be honest, it puzzled me.He couldn’t hide the hate he has for me, and I hate him right back. So why the hell would he
My mind is trying to find out the reason behind his sudden shift. It must be something big. Something he has no control over. Something important enough to make him tolerate me as a mate. Well, that is, until he gets what he wants.The thing, though, is that I’m not the same gullible, naïve Sadie I
“W-what?” I could hear Raven stammer behind, but my mind was otherwise preoccupied.I’ve heard about shifting. We were taught about it. How it is painful because your bones are basically shifting, re-aligning themselves to those of a wolf.There’s always been excitement towards someone's first shift
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
