“Well, that’s your opinion. I believe in the mate bond. And I believe she’ll submit to it.”“Sure, the same mate bond that is clear as day she’s fighting and, from the looks of it, winning,” Micah growls in annoyance.Their argument was starting to get on my nerves. I needed to think. I needed to co
SadieMy heart starts racing the moment the pilot announces that we will be touching down in the next five minutes. I don’t think I’ve ever been this anxious in my life. Not even when my water broke during labor.Closing my eyes, I breathe in, then out, but the air gets stuck, and I feel suffocated.
Pressing my lips into a thin line, I don’t say anything. It was obvious I was alive, so there was no need to confirm what he could already see.“How? How is it possible?”“Elder Martin, it’s good to see you,” Alec’s voice interrupts from behind. “Let’s leave, we’ll explain everything once we get to
I get out of the car the moment the driver parks it in front of the pack house. I stop and just stare at the huge mansion. I don’t know why, but I expected things to have changed, but they're still the same.I feel Alec’s presence behind me, but I ignore him. I just focus on the house as memories up
He clenches his jaw but says nothing. Instead, he goes ahead of me and leads the way. Minutes later, I realized that we were headed to the conference room. We get there, and the other Elders arrive soon after.“What is she doing here? And how is she alive?” one of them asks in shock.They were all s
I was pissed off by this new development. In fact, I was way past pissed off. I was downright furious.“Did you know this?” I turn to Alec with a glare. “Did you know that they had no idea about how to break the curse?”The thought of staying in this pack for more than a week was making my skin craw
What he says tells me nothing. Absolutely nothing.It could be a witch. That was the most logical answer. Witches were vindictive creatures. Mess with them, and you'll be paying the price for your stupidity in years to come.It could be that Alec’s grandfather messed with one, but something deep dow
The realization that the mysterious woman could be behind the curse keeps plaguing my mind hours after the meeting concluded.I mean, it can’t really be a coincidence, right?The moon goddess rarely punished her people, and the elders were right. This pack was a stickler for following the rules. Of
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
