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
Sadie.The rest of the day goes by in a blur, but I couldn’t stop thinking about what King told me. I mean, there is just no way, right? There have to be accounts of others who had white wolves.“There aren’t,” Nyx said in a sleepy voice.She hadn’t spoken since she went to sleep after hunting. The
“Martha said she was taking her to have her bath... She fell while playing with the other kids and was completely covered in mud.”At Raven’s answer, I smile. Taking two plates, I serve one for myself and the other for my daughter. I sit down, waiting for her.A few minutes later, King steps into th
Alec.I stumble back in shock when the little girl ran inside, screaming for Sadie. Screaming for her mama. Her body collides with that of Sadie, and she lifts her up by her armpits. I didn’t see her face because her back was turned to us, but I couldn’t fucking deny the pull towards her.My heart b
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
