"Run little she-wolf, as far as you can because if I ever catch you, your worst fucking nightmare will become your reality.” He whispered dangerously, his grip on me painfully tight. A smile curled the corner of my lips, and I raised an eyebrow, running the tip of my nail down his chiselled jaw challengingly. “Oh but you’re wrong Blue-Eyes because I am the stuff of nightmares, and I'm here to create hell in your life. Not scared, are we?” Icy blue eyes met my unblinking bright blue. “I'm warning you, don’t mess with me.” He growled. “Oh? But the thing is, I always do what I'm not supposed to.” ----- Azura Rayne Westwood. Known for her devilish ways and wild personality, was the youngest child of the renown Westwood couple. From her days at the Academy, word of her antics spread far and fast, yet there was far more to the young nineteen-year-old woman. The skeletons of the past are never left buried, and life isn't all as carefree as Azura portrays it to be. When demons from her past begin to make life difficult, she ends up making an even bigger mistake. Spending a night of intense passion unknowingly with the infamous stone-hearted Leo Rossi, changing her life forever. When Leo finds out that the woman he bedded was from none other than one of the packs he resents the most, he turns away from her, but he forgot one very vital detail; Azura was no angel, and when you mess with the Westwood Devil, you're tied for life. In a journey of passion, fire, strength and rejection, who will triumph? The young girl with the heart of fire, or the Alpha who yields nothing but hatred and resentment?

The laughter rang in my ears but there is nothing merry about it, filled with malice and jeers.
“Go on!”
“Awe, what’s wrong, too much of a wimp?”
“You’re meant to be the boss' woman, can't you do it? Too weak?”
I freeze, standing between my boyfriend and his men. They are torturing someone who I don’t even recognise in his wolf form, but what else is new, this is the usual for them. I always tried to ignore his ways and stayed out of his business. Trying to focus on the good in him instead, but today, they expect me to join in with their sick games.
I don’t want to do this, staring at the bloody mass on the ground, my stomach churns. This was not meant to happen.
“Just pull the trigger.” His voice is devoid of emotions, his cold murky eyes meet mine as he holds the gun out to me.
“I... I'm not so sure about this, this wasn’t what you told me.” I reply calmly, despite the way my stomach is twisting with nerves.
“Not even for me, my little Pet?” He tilts his head, looking at me whilst the rest of his friends spur me on.
I stare at the gun, trying to think how I got here…
But I don’t know when I fell into this toxic relationship. I’m not someone who needs sympathy, I was never one who couldn’t sleep at night because of my demons. I was always carefree, unbothered, and wild. I loved to have fun, crush on the good-looking boys in my class or whatever hot Alpha crossed my path. But now… I find myself tossing and turning, trying to push the nightmares my so-called boyfriend has pulled me into.
“Please, come on, let’s forget this.” I try to shrug it off, wrapping my arms around his neck and hoping he listens.
His scent fills my nose, mixed with the smell of cigarettes and drugs. His hands stroke my waist and I tried to remember the man I had fallen in love with.
Where has he gone?
“Forget what? Oh yeah, forget what he called you? Let me rephrase that, little Pet, you don’t want to be an outcast, do you? The outsider… The odd one out… The freak?” His tone is a cold sneer, as his eyes burn into mine.
Freak.
My heart thumps as I stare at the bloody wolf on the ground.
I’m not a freak.
I am Azura Rayne Westwood, daughter of the previous Alpha of the Blood Moon Pack. Even though I was a child born in a way that played with the very laws of nature, I’m not a freak.
I should be dead, but I'm not.
“Freak. Freak. Freak” His men begin to chant only making the anger rise within me. He smirks, knowing it’s getting to me, making me yank away from his hold, my heart thumps violently as I snatch the weapon from his hand.
I remembered when I was a child, I didn't understand why I was disliked. Occasionally there were kids in the Pack whispering behind my back, but they didn't dare to do anything to me because I was the daughter of their Alpha. Plus, I was not someone to mess with, I always made anyone who tried to hurt me or those I loved, suffer.
However, there was one name that never left me - The Freak.
“Do it.”
I look at my boyfriend, he knows I hate that term, but he still used it… It’s my fault, I was the one blind enough to tell him my darkest secrets.
“Fine.” I spit as I turn, pretending to do his bidding and raising the gun.
What should I do?
“Shoot him, Baby.” His quiet voice laced with a deadly warning, came from right behind me.
My hand shakes as I stare at the whimpering wolf on the floor.
His breathing is so shallow…
No amount of logic makes this ok.
I am not going to do this, but the urge to turn around and shoot my so-called boyfriend instead tempts me.
I lower my weapon, the laughter fading as a tense silence falls at my act of disobedience.
“I'm not going-”
I gasp when something knocks into me from behind, making me accidentally pull the trigger, the body on the ground shivers before it stills.
“No!” I scream, dropping the gun, as I run to the wolf’s side.
No, no, no!
Laughter follows me as I look at the wolf before me, I can’t feel his heartbeat, but he doesn’t even shift to his human form. Whatever those bullets contain, is deadly, it is so fast he couldn’t even shift back.
“Why, Judah!” I scream.
Silence fell as I glare at the man who stands there, his cold eyes on me. Although he said nothing, the anger in his eyes makes my blood run cold. He hates to be disrespected.
“You do not talk to me like that.” He whispers menacingly as he strides over to me. Grabbing a fistful of the wolf’s bloody fur, he lifted his body from the ground in one sweep. “You did this.” With those words, he throws the heavy body of the dead wolf on top of me, the weight crushing my legs.
“Do you feel sorry for him? Here, take care of him!” He snarls as I glare back at him. My anger rises as I try to push the body of the wolf off me. “Who said you can get up, my Pet?”
“This is not a joke! I'm done with you and your sick ways.” I spit resentfully.
He’s no different from all of the others, he’s worse.
His eyes darken and he grabs a fistful of my hair.
“Oh, we aren’t done until I say we are.” He snarls menacingly.
“You don’t own me, and I am not your pet!” I hiss, glaring at him with defiance.
He simply laughs loudly, like my childish words amused him, but I knew better. He is beyond angry; I had just disrespected him in front of his men. He won’t forgive that.
“Yeah, I will. I'm done with you.” I spit, my heart pounding with rage.
He tugs my head back violently and using the hand that he had grabbed the wolf with, he rubbed the blood over my face roughly, before shoving me onto the ground roughly.
“I think it’s time I show you exactly who you belong to.” He spat as he hit me across the face, making my vision darken...
-
I lurch upright in bed, my entire body is soaked with sweat as the memories of that night fill my mind once more. My heart is thumping violently as I look around, and it takes me a few moments to realise I am in my bedroom. Safe.
Taking a shaking breathe, I get out of bed and walk to the adjoining bathroom, splashing my face with water.
It has been a year since I walked away from my toxic ex, one year since I thought I was done with him for good. Until two days ago when I received a video of that night along with the message: ‘Remember that I know what you did.’
My stomach knots, feeling sick as the words ring in my head.
I turned the tap off and take a deep breath, returning to my bedroom.
I’m safe here… right?
No matter how many times I think it over, I don’t know how I got involved with him.
The worst part is that if my parents knew, they would be more than disappointed in me, and the one thing I hate most, is letting them down.
Even though my parents are no longer the Alphas with my brother having taken over, they are still highly respected, their reputation is known across the country and Dad is on the Alpha King’s Council. He is also one of the Elite Eleven, a title that had been unofficially given to the selection of the most powerful Alphas of our time and here I am making things worse for them.
I wish I never met him, and I wish I could turn back time. Glancing at the clock, I realise it’s five in the morning.
I should try to get some rest. I turned the lamp off, just as my phone beeps.
Tensing, I frown as I stare at the sleek device. Taking a deep breath, I unlocked it and read the message.
‘Can’t sleep? Well, I’ll give you something more to think about. Come back to me or I think your entire family would love to watch all those videos. Do you want them to see exactly how FREAKY their little girl can get?’
I know what other videos he means and it makes me sick.
I covered my mouth unconsciously, my stomach twisting sickeningly as I glance towards my window.
He is watching me.
I walked over to the window and peer out. My heart thumps as I scan the darkness outside.
Nothing.
I can’t see anything out of the ordinary… Is he just messing with me?
My phone beep again and I look down at the new message that pops up on the screen, a message that makes my blood run cold.
‘I see you still sleep in your underwear.’
KAREENA. “Mm?” I ask, my eyes closed. We didn’t sleep, and morning has arrived, but even now, I don’t want to sleep… I’m exhausted, but at some point, we began talking… too exhausted to make love any longer, but neither of us wanted to sleep. For the first time, we were so open; it felt beautiful. This night was beautiful. Goddess, he smells so good. His arm is under my head as we lay naked on the rug on the floor. I feel so damn achy but even now his naked body against mine is messing with me but even more than that, I am content. “Favourite colour?” he murmurs, his fingers combing through my hair soothingly. “White and blue… yours?” “Possibly grey or black.” His lips graze down my shoulder and a soft sigh escapes me. “Your dream?” I ask, my eyes fluttering open and I gaze into his eyes. He’s looking directly at me. His gorgeous green eyes are crystal clear, and I reach up, brushing my fingers through his hair. “To live a life with my sexy mate, my friends who are my family
JAX. I unbuckle my belt, pulling it out as I roll it up in my hands before tossing it aside. Some other day, I’m going to tie her up… She sits up, disobeying me as she drops to her knees, looking up at me. “I want a taste…” she whispers, making me throb hard, and I decide to forgive her this time. Fuck, she’s fine. “But I never said you can stop touching yourself,” I whisper dangerously. “You can punish me later,” she replies sassily, as she unzips my pants. The smell of her arousal is fucking driving me nuts and the way she’s looking at me with those sultry lust-filled eyes makes me want to fuck her hard. “I think I can let it slide this time,” I reply huskily. The moment her hand touches my cock, pleasure shoots through me like a fucking jolt and it’s way fucking better than imagining her stroking me. Fuck, it’s been way too long… and it makes it all the more better that it’s her. She lets go, allowing herself to pull my pants down, and I watch her intently as she pushes
KAREENA. “Real smooth tiger,” I say, rolling my eyes, but no… tell me, what’s on your mind? You seem quiet today,” I ask. There’s something wrong. I see the way he looks down for a moment before he moves back and glances at the kitchen. “Want some coffee?” “Sure,” I say. We walk to the kitchen, and he motions to the table, telling me to sit down. I perch against it, watching him make the coffee. Iced for me. I love how he knows my pattern. After I have just eaten, I’d usually go for iced and late in the night it would be normal. “How did it go up north?” I ask, breaking the silence. He tenses and I frown. For a moment, the craziest thought enters my mind and I close my eyes, almost smiling at how ridiculous that thought was. Why did I suddenly think there was another woman like he was nervous because something happened on his work trip? He isn’t mine for me to even think that way. Sure, that hurts, but I don’t have any claim on him when all I’ve done is keep him at arm’s len
KAREENA. My heart is pounding violently, almost as if it will jump out of my chest, and I turn away from the window. He can see me… Just the thought sends my entire body into a frenzy. I’m nervous, it’s weird how I can feel so but I don’t try to cover myself as I continue to towel my hair. He’s still watching me, his gaze burning into my back and only when I’m done drying myself do I walk away from the window. He wants me… just as I want him… that’s something I can no longer deny. Even if it does feel crazily surreal to me. It is the truth. Tilting my head, I look at the white and nude bustier I had chosen to wear… It’s a little… daring. I pull on some sexy panties before I squeeze into my skinny jeans and put on the top. Ok, so I look like I’m an open invitation saying ‘come get me’, which I kind of am right now. I pull it up over my breast. I pull my brown hair up in a messy yet sexy bun and quickly apply some makeup. Once my nails are painted, I look at the green shade I ha
JAX. Three nights. We were away from the pack for three nights. It was fucking worse than we thought, up here in the Scottish Highlands. There’s no sign of an enemy but this one was possibly the biggest attack if you can call it that. Leaving so many homeless. We had managed to rehouse them and tried to secure the area, or at least hoped it was secured. With no proof or any sign of the enemy, it is hard to pinpoint who or what they are. But something Leo said still stuck in my mind. It’s looking for something or someone. Leo had no proof of that, but if Leo says something, it is most likely true since he has a knack for these things. Alejandro was true to his words, he’s pushing Leo to handle things and I know that despite Leo wanting to remain as only the King in the Shadows, he doesn’t really have a choice but to step out there and do what he needs to. But it also means a lot of responsibility for all of us. Leo as the next King, means that the Sangue Pack will be brought i
JAX. “I…” There’s nothing for her to say. Her heart is pounding, her breasts rising and falling. You don’t get to look like the fucking embodiment of sex itself and then act damn innocent. Fuck, this woman grates on every fucking nerve of mine with her attitude, yet at the same time, I want to pin her up against this wall and fuck her hard… Our bodies are pressed against one another’s, yet there’s one way I can think of to get closer and just the thought of burying myself in her pussy makes me throb hard. I skim over those pouty lips of hers that have always been something I’ve noticed… A comment I made to Shane back when he found out she was his mate returns to me, only now I mean it in such a fucking different way… ‘She’s pretty. She’s got nice lips.’ I remember winking at him teasingly… That was an understatement… no wonder he had smiled the way he had… A flare of possessiveness rushes through me, and Hayden and her dancing return to me. Since she’s got here, she’s been t
KAREENA. “Don’t fucking touch her!” He snarls, the anger in his voice shakes me and I look around, my heart thundering as he punches Hayden across the face. I flinch when I hear something break. “Jax!” Ace grabs him. Fuck, this is my fault. ‘Jax, leave it, I was handling…’ I trail off when he turns his eyes on me. “Yeah, I could clearly see how you were handling it,” he says icily. He pulls free from his friends shoving past them and walks out. Why do I feel so bad? I’m about to go after him when Leo takes hold of my wrist. ‘A fucking word first,” he says quietly through the mind link. Great. Just fucking great. I look the way Jax has gone, spotting Jin and Dan going after him and close my eyes before I take a deep breath. Shit. He looks down at Hayden before he bends down and pulls him to his feet. “Alpha I’m sorry, I was just- they aren’t together I didn’t think-” Hayden is cut off. “Regardless of that shit, you should not have pushed the boundaries she was fucking set
KAREENA. Possessive much? “I won’t be the only woman in a dress tonight, Jax. No one is going to be looking at me.” I shake my head as I make my way over to his car. The moment I went into heat is replaying in my mind and I don’t think being in close proximity to him is wise… I’m checking him out, I’m too aware of his scent and the fact he’s watching me is messing with my head. I don’t want to be a burden to anyone tonight. I reach for the passenger door, only for Jax’s arm to brush mine as he beats me to it and opens the door for me instead. I look over my shoulder at him, my heart hammering when his green eyes dip to my lips. I turn away first, during my heat all I could think about was him... I’m falling… I know that… and it terrifies me. “Thanks,” I say, allowing him to open the door, for a moment he places his hand on my waist sending a ripple of pleasure through me. Shit… It’s different, it’s not just the bond. I turn suddenly, totally miscalculating just how close h
KAREENA. He nuzzles his nose into my neck, sending sizzling pleasure through me. Oh, fuck, he smells so good and feels even better…. The bond mixed with the heat is messing with his head and as much as his touch is like a cooling balm to my burning skin, I can’t take advantage of him… We have never been in each other’s presence in my moments of heat, but now… now he’s here and my body craves for him, far more than I expected. I want him to fuck me right here and right now, but I’m terrified. I gasp as another bout of pain rips through me and if he was not holding me, I’d fall to the ground. One of his hands is still tangled in my hair, the other runs up my back before it runs down my back and grabs my ass squeezing it. Pleasure jolts through me and I almost moan loudly. He pulls me closer as if he wants to feel every part of me against him, and I can feel his hard shaft against my stomach. “Fuck,” I moan, running my hand down his stomach. His scent and the heat of his body a
