Lilac’s P.O.V. ‘That’s what they want the Order to believe. How else would they get so many people on their side? If they think we’re the enemy, why wouldn’t they fight?’ “These humans have been allowed to flourish for far too long. They have created weapons of mass destruction, artillery that can
I swallowed the bile crawling up my throat and followed Nox out of the dining room. Behind the closet door in the furthest depths of my mind, my magic howled. Kill him, kill him, kill him… A single look from Nox, even wearing the face of another, silenced its chant. Guards in black uniforms scour
Lilac’s P.O.V. “No way! What happened next?” I said in between spurts of laughter. Tears stung my eyes, threatening to overflow. Nox and me had just gotten back from Juneau last night. The first thing I did, other than face plant in my bed and eat something other than a can of soup, was call up Ja
On the drive over to Jada’s, I told him about the reading Zuri had given me and how I needed to make a choice. Now that we were fully mated, and I could feel fragments of his emotions through the bond, I realized that the choice I needed to make had been about Nox all along. I hadn’t quite forgiven
Lilac’s P.O.V. Jada poured herself a glass of wine, her scowl firmly in place. I’d never seen her so torn up before. She seemed to be at war with herself, struggling to make some kind of decision. “I’m glad you’re trying to turn over a new leaf, but that’s not what has me feeling like this. It’s H
“Oliver is planning my coronation for the end of this month. After that, Nox and I will take over the pack. There has to be something we can do to get her out of this marriage. Maybe we can buy both of the families off? Or at the very least, I can have Nox coerce them into changing their minds.” It
Lilac’s P.O.V. I was in training class, sparring with some oaf who couldn’t throw a half-decent punch if his life depended on it, when a barrage of emotions flooded the mate-bond. They came on so suddenly that I stumbled, throwing up a hasty block that was easily knocked aside. I barely registered
Slick and wet, his tongue lavished every inch of my pussy until I could no longer think straight. Juices ran down my thighs, coating his hands and face. By the time he pulled away, I was barely coherent. His cock slammed into me, meeting no resistance. I wasn’t given time to adjust before he was po
Kalix froze. In fact, I was pretty sure we all froze. “My wife is pregnant?” “Yes.” Natasha nodded. “With my baby?” “No, the mailman’s.” She snorted, wiping the tears from her eyes. “Who else would it be?” “I’m going to be a father?” A giggle bubbled past her lips. “That’s typically what happe
I recognized the look on Kalix’s face whenever his sister and Shayla were in the same room. The mixture of awe, terror, and bliss was unlike anything I’d ever felt before. We had everything we could’ve ever wanted and would do anything to keep it that away. “Where’s Natasha and Hakeem?” Shayla aske
Nox’s P.O.V. Six Years Later “You no good cheater!” I heard my mate belt from across the backyard. Her father’s boisterous laugh followed, drawing my eyes. The two of them stood in the stand pit off to the side of the pool and were currently hitting a volleyball back and forth. Jada and Brinley w
I threaded my arm through his and patted his hand. “Well, now you can focus on other things.” A gleam of nervousness filled his eyes. “So, is everything ready for tonight?” Shayla often mentioned how flustered she’d get by Kalix’s smooth charm, but she was the only one who failed to see how nervou
Mom beamed, tears blossoming in her eyes as she threw her arms around our shoulders. We clung to her side chuckling when Jada raced forward to blot her make-up with a microfiber cloth. “I’m sorry, I’m just so happy. I never thought I’d get to see this moment. Goddess, I’m so grateful. I’ve got both
Lilac’s P.O.V. Three Years Later “This itches.” I grunted, picking at the lace clinging to my rear. “Mark my words, I’m going to have a rash on my ass by the end of the night.” “No scratching!” Shayla smacked my hand away, a playful grin curling at her lips. Since disappearing on a little trip w
“Your aura has never been brighter.” She murmured quietly in my ear, a bright smile warming her face. A few minutes later, Diego called our names and invited us onto the stage. I laced my arm through Nox’s and followed his lead. No less than six cameras were stationed on us, each one set at a diff
The tension faded from her shoulders as she nodded. “Thank you for being there for me. I never meant to put you in a spot. Anyway, you came here for a reason, right? Don’t let my tears chase you off.” “You sure?” I paused, “It’s not exactly a light topic.” “None of our conversations this past wee
Lilac’s P.O.V. One Week Later “How have you been?” Natasha turned from where she sat on the balcony and smiled softly. Pain lingered behind the action. I should know considering I’d made that same expression a time or two. She motioned me forward, gesturing to the chair beside her. I sat down fo
