Murmuring broke out amongst the crowd as I finished. Nox stepped in, his voice noticeably darker this time around. “Any breaking of this rule will be met with severe consequences. It will be considered a direct act of treason against your Alpha and Luna. These people and their families are innocent
Lilac’s P.O.V. I hit the ground just in time. A slab of rock bigger than Brick, flew right where my face had been. If it had hit me, it would’ve knocked my head clean off. It was followed by a blast of flame, and a scream that sent a chill down my spine. Chunks of the stone exploded in all directio
Nox barked commands with his magic-laden voice, while I tore the souls from group after group of rogues. A familiar scream pierced the air, and I whirled around to see a warrior had grabbed Harley, lifting her small form clear off the ground. Before I could tear the soul from his body, he threw her.
“Brainwash me? The only one whose been brainwashed is you, Natasha. Our fathers are going to elevate our kind. We’ll stop the prophecy from coming true, then we’ll set our sights on the humans. Once they’re gone, nothing will stop us from reaching our full potential.” His eyes narrowed. “You used to
Lilac’s P.O.V. Agony split me in two from the waist up, the pain muddying my thoughts. My magic evaporated into thin air, vanishing along with the voice of my wolf. The silver added an extra layer of searing pain. I forced my vision to focus, latching onto his smiling face. “Not so badass now, are
“You won’t be saying that when I pull your soul out of your ass.” Jada snarled back. With a growl, he grabbed her wrist and slapped the cuffs around them. I knew he must’ve pinched skin from the way she gritted her teeth and winced. Next came Hakeem, who looked like Nox, thanks to Harley’s shapeshi
He curled his upper lip at us. “I had planned on keeping the infamous Whisperer, but now I’m beginning to think he’s more trouble than he’s worth.” A knife appeared in his hand, glinting wickedly from the blood moon’s crimson light. Shayla’s gut-wrenching scream pierced the night. She broke into a
Lilac’s P.O.V. It wasn’t hard to find Phineas after the battle had ended. Now that his side had surrendered, there were far too many souls willing to sell him out in order to save their own lives. Was I going to tell them I had no intention on killing anyone else? No, I’d much rather let them beli
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
