Alpha Enzo 105 | SUN TO MY MOON
Scarlett’s POVIt was the only thing I could think to do, the only made sense amidst the fog of confusion that had swirled around me for weeks on end. Getting away from Alpha Ryker had only served to add to that confusion and, once the dust of the day’s escapades were starting to settle, I realised what the outlier was.Weirdly, it wasn’t Bennett.Weirdly, it wasn’t the fact I’d blindly trusted him and followed this rag-tag bunch out of Desert Oak, my supposed home. Weirdly, it wasn’t my elemental power or the too-cold manacles I once again wore.It wasn’t Priestley’s admission of romantic feelings or the spliced werewolves I’d seen or even the damned giant that had chased us.It was Alpha Enzo. He was what didn’t make sense to me. And a mate should always make sense, shouldn’t they? He was the supposed other half of my soul, the other side to my coin, the light to my dark; he was supposed to be every beautiful ever said about two people in love, and therein lay the problem.We weren
Alpha Enzo 106 | MAGIC ISN'T WHAT IT USED TO BE
Enzo’s POVI barely slept that night, too worried about Scarlett to let sleep claim me. I watched her through slitted eyes, my gaze shifting from her to the window to the door and back again, over and over and over. We were too many stories up to worry about someone coming through the window, but still I did.I wouldn’t lose her again. I couldn't.Wishing I was in bed with her, holding her to my chest, keeping her safe, I shuffled closer to the edge of my bed and reached my hand across the space stretching between us.She’d really wanted to sever the mate bond. I couldn’t quite believe it. I didn’t think she’d known which way to turn, lost and confused, and that was entirely my fault. She never would’ve gone to Ryker if only I’d been honest with her…I blinked back tears and rolled onto my back. There was no point worrying about it now. She was here, she was safe, and I would never let her go again. Not unless she wanted to.I sighed. Sliding out of the covers, I padded, barefoot, ove
Alpha Enzo 107 | EVERY LAST ONE
Scarlett’s POVEnzo had told me about the too good to be true trail they’d found. He’d also told me that he’d wanted to rush ahead, and would’ve gone alone if he’d had to, had Davin not stumbled through the portal at that exact moment.Despite the distant heartache I felt for the fallen wolves, abject relief cut through me. Enzo hadn’t gone. If he had, I…How had I been ready to give up on him, on us, yesterday? I already felt more at home here than I ever had at Desert Oak. This, I knew now, was where I was supposed to be. “All of them?” asked Enzo, his voice raspy and hoarse.The woman in the doorway nodded. “Yes, Alpha. Every last one.”“We have to go out there,” he said, leaping up and starting to pace. “We can’t let this go unpunished. We need to wipe every rogue from our woods.”I watched him, my mouth going dry. He was so worried about me – would he still allow me to go with this new information? It didn’t matter what he said – I was going out there and helping regardless of h
Alpha Enzo 108 | BETRAYED
Enzo’s POV“Isaak said he could be pretty scary–”No. It couldn’t be true. Isaak couldn’t be the traitor. I’d thought it, dreaded it, not been able to believe it – and here was proof that my worst fears had been realised. Sweet, young Isaak, who I’d taken under my wing, who I’d let help my wolves, who I’d let look after my mate, had betrayed me.Unless it was a coincidence. Isaak was a reasonably common name among werewolves. Please, God, let it be a coincidence…But I knew, deep down, that it wasn’t.I flinched. Scarlett was flung from my back. Shit. My eyes widened; I shifted back into my human body and rushed over to her, the blood draining from my face. “Scar?” I whispered, lifting her gently, “are you okay?I hoped nobody had heard the thump of her flying off my back and landing in the undergrowth. ‘Marla, edge forward and keep watch,’ I mindlinked to her. ‘Davin, do the same but behind.’“I’m fine,” Scarlett whispered, her voice so quiet I could barely hear it. A small cut lin
Alpha Enzo 109 | UNCERTAIN TIMES AHEAD
Scarlett’s POVI woke up in Enzo’s bed. I felt stiff and strange, my body placed flat on my back, my hands resting limply at my sides. I blinked blearily at the ceiling, confused when I saw the pale light of a spring dawn streaming in through the cracks in the curtains.What had happened? I remembered the giant, the portals, riding on Enzo’s back… My brow furrowed. With a trembling hand, I reached up and touched my forehead. The bedframe creaked with my movement; something shifted in my peripheral vision a second later.“Scarlett,” breathed Enzo. “You’re all right.”“Never better,” I joked weakly, squinting against even the dim light to meet his worried gaze.“You were out for a long time. I thought…” I didn’t interrupt. I just let us sit in the slightly uncomfortable silence that followed. Enzo coughed. “I thought you weren’t all right, is all. I’m glad you are. I’ll get Emila to check you over at once.”“No.” I bit my lip. “No, please, not yet.”“Okay. All right.” His eyes dipped t
Alpha Enzo 110 | RISING TIDE
Enzo’s POV“I’ve sent out my scouts to find Isaak,” I said, pacing back and forth across my office. Scarlett’s eyes followed me. “I can’t risk not having my Warrior Wolves here, not if Alpha Ryker is coming. Who knows when that will be, though?”“It sounded soon.” Scarlett knotted her hands together and nibbled on her full lower lip. It distracted me for a moment; I wanted to kiss her deeply. “Bennett wouldn’t have woken up like that to tell us he was coming in a year’s time, now, would he?”My brow pulled taut. I paused. “I don’t think he woke up at all. Emila induced a coma, Scar. He shouldn’t have been able to talk. I think it was his gift that spoke to us, if such a thing is even possible.”“You think it could be,” she said. It wasn’t a question.“Hell – I don’t know.” I shrugged and resumed my pacing. “I was turned into a woman, then – I don’t even know what after that.” I shuddered at the memory. “We travelled in ways that shouldn’t be possible. Then your magic turned me back. W
Alpha Enzo 111 | BIGGER PICTURE
Scarlett’s POVEnzo tugged at my clothes, like a starving man clawing at a steaming banquet. I arched up into his every touch, craving it just as much as he craved mine.I wasn’t sure when I’d decided to let myself give in and be happy. Maybe it was when I’d realised how short a time we might have together.Maybe it was when one of my memories had come back. After waking, back from the fight in the woods, it had started to form slowly. When I’d seen Bennett, it had slithered back into place. I’d been too preoccupied by his injury to realise it had come back, but…But now I knew.Enzo nipped at the soft skin below my ear. I ground up against him, my core warm and desperate for contact. He chuckled, the sound dark and teasing, and he sucked a bruise into my neck.“Enz,” I gasped.His mouth travelled down; he yanked my sweater off and groaned when he found no bra beneath it. He grasped my breasts, squeezing and then pulling away, ever so slightly, just enough to brush his fingertips over
Alpha Enzo 112 | AT WHAT COST?
Enzo’s POVI stomped down to the cells, my boot soles slapping hard enough against the stone to send vibrations ricocheting up the walls and echoing back down the sloping hall.I’d known we would be outnumbered no matter what. But this? This was unprecedented. Hell, this wouldn’t even be a battle – this would be a massacre.Unless Scarlett performed some kind of God-damned miracle, we would all die. Because there was no way any of my wolves would bow to Alpha Ryker – I cut myself off. Maybe I was wrong; maybe they would. I was on my way to see a traitor right now. Sure, he’d only helped the rogues – but that was with no prompting. Maybe with a boot to their necks my other wolves would cave, too.A muscle tensed in my jaw. My knuckles were white, the skin pulled taut over bone. I wished I’d brought Scarlett with me, but she’d had a strange look in her eyes as I’d left, and she’d said she had something else, something important, to do. We would reconvene after. I was more than a little
