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
Less than ten minutes, I get to where I want to be. It’s my spot. My calming spot. The only place in the pack where I can fully let go. The one place I come to think. It isn’t much, honestly. Nothing grand or out of this world beautiful, but there was a pond.Stepping into the open space, I start re
I didn’t understand why he was so shocked. It’s not like he's never seen a wolf shift before. In fact, he has helped some of our pack members shift when their time came.It felt different being in this form. Unlike the other forms where Nyx and I shared control, in our wolf form, Nyx was more domina
“Nyx,” I call, trying to avoid the deer’s empty eyes; they felt like they were staring straight at me.Sure, I have killed a lot of rogues and hybrids since my first kill when I first met King, but this felt different. Maybe because it’s an innocent animal.“Oh, stop with the guilt," Nyx says, dropp
Alec.“That was an unexpected turn of events,” Jason mumbles as we leave the office.“That’s the understatement of the year,” Micah joins in. “Who would have thought that the same girl you tortured years ago was the miraculous help you’ve been looking for?”I don’t answer. In fact, I don’t even want
Fuck! I rub my chest, trying to ease the ache I feel in my heart. What the fuck was going on? Why was I feeling like this all of a sudden? It’s been three years. That feeling came and went, so why now?“Hey, are you okay?” Micah asked, coming to stand next to me.I don’t answer. What the hell would
None of my strategies are going to help me with Sadie. None of my training prepared me for this cluster fuck.“But have you guys felt it? It’s been there since we got here,” Micah asks, as his eyes shifted from me to Jason.“You’ll have to be more specific, Micah. I’ve felt a lot of shit since we go
AlecI’m still rooted to my spot as Sadie’s words continue playing through my mind like a broken record.I want to ask if I am that terrible. So terrible that she would wish I were dead. I can't, though, because I know that I was a monster to her. Worse than a monster, actually."Alec," I hear Piper
She lowers her arms to her side.“Hi” she says in an awkward tone and a half smile.I stare at her, not really sure what the hell to do. The woman standing before me used to be my best friend. I knew everything about her and vice versa. Now I look at her and a stranger stares back at me.I should mo
I quietly pass some of Alec’s pack members. Some wave at me, but I ignore them. One, because I find their actions hypocritical. I mean, why, all of a sudden, am I now a good person? Just because their alpha told them that he made a mistake, and they conveniently forgot what they did to me. No. It do
“She doesn’t deserve my respect. Not after what she allowed to happen,” I tell her, all the while feeling her anger simmering to the surface.She doesn’t reply immediately. Instead, she closes her eyes for a second before opening them again. “One of these days you are going to regret all the shit yo
“I’ll win your love back. Mark my words!”His words keep ringing in my head over and over again. I try to block them, to bury them, to ignore them, but nothing works. They keep playing in my head like a broken record.I scoff at both his words and my inability to ignore them. It sounds ridiculous wh
I am just about to flee after having said my piece when his hand grabs my arm. I twist around and face him. His gaze is intense, as his green eyes pierce mine in a way that leaves me breathless.For the first time in our lives, Alec’s gaze isn’t indifferent as he stares at me. I gasp at the emotions
SadieThree days. It’s been three days since I had the dream, and I am still confused about it. It doesn’t make any fucking sense. Just like the first time I dreamed about being killed, I woke up in the forest, naked and alone.I have no idea what happened or how I ended up there. All I can remember
When I got out and started changing, I didn’t know that I would be giving Sadie a strip show. Not that I am complaining anyway.I turned when I felt eyes on me. That’s when my eyes landed on her form, standing by the window. She didn’t flinch or move when I turned, even though I was stark naked in f
Alec.“You look deep in thought.”Micah’s voice interrupts my musings, pulling me back to the present. It’s been three days since we found out that a demi-god was probably imprisoned here.I am in my office. I should be working. I had a lot of work load. Both from my pack and my security company, ye
