His lips stretched into a predatory smile that sent chills skittering down my backbone. “Dance on the nails, Sin. Don't make me repeat myself.” He really was the devil. *** Bound to the notorious murderer who’s put a sword to her father’s neck, Princess Annora, fallen from grace, is made to live in Devil’sDen pack as the slave to her captor, Alpha Aegon. Being the fated mate to the Beta of the same vicious pack, Annora plans to use her mate’s feelings as a triumph card, driving her way up to the Alpha’s heart and hoping to put a knife in it. But life happens in reverse— the Alpha becomes the one ‘putting’ things in her. He’s elusive, the most dangerous man she’s ever known. But he’s just as sweet around the edge, alluring in all the forbidden ways. Her hate for him becomes a three-legged chair— wavering. Alpha Aegon hates the Stormbringers for everything they’d cost him, but taking their little white-haired princess was a complete crack in his mode of operation. As harmless as she might seem, everyone is a victim of her wits. Of course, he thinks he’s excluded. Aegon only finds out he’s been mastered in his own game when it's too late, and everything else hangs in the line. His life. Hers. His Virtuous Beta's. What evil befalls this forbidden attraction? How does Annora outsmart this charming man who’s laid waste to everything she’s ever known?

With the stick that stayed in my hand or next to me all day long, I concentrated on chewing a chunk of meat—struggling with anger that was directed to the head of the maids. Why would she give me this type of meat? After a long while of struggle, I chewed the last part of the piece of meat. The maid who watched me while I ate, handed me a bowl filled halfway with water, and without any hesitation, I washed my hand. “That should be all, I believe.”The maid, I didn't know what she was doing, but I could feel her walk out of my chamber. “Hand over my stick to me before you leave—” I called her back, and she did as told before leaving—walking out of the chamber finally. A sigh escaped my mouth. What was to be done? What else? Unlike everyone in the Pack, I was to stay in this chamber all day and not leave. Of course, I wasn't chained back by the Alpha or the other authorities
AEGON The next morning, I woke up with the urge to speak with Kairel. The urge was more than strong but what could I do about it? He had shown his wish to not speak with me at that point and I didn't mind. Maybe I did. It happened to be days after the moment I went to visit his chamber and was chased away. I sat up on the bed this morning, my hand touching my head slightly. What was my day going to look like? I got on my feet even and caught up with the closet so that I could take a towel and proceed to the bathroom for a good bath. By the time I was done with my bath, the urge to reach out to Kairel was more than overwhelming. At this point, I could not ignore my thoughts any longer but rather wished for a moment with my best friend. Was he even still my best friend? Maybe he was. Or not. I was going to be in his chamber before the end of the next hour. Who else would be there if not me? With a towel tied around my waist, I was standing in front of the closet, wa
AEGON On this day, myself and the men of the pack had a meeting. Snapping my fingers this early, I watched the door open and then Darius led his way into the chamber. “Good morning, my lord. What shall I do for you today?” “Gather the men of the Pack. We might have a meeting. Can you be fast about it? I need some time to myself.” Announcing while I got on my feet, I reached the closet and took out an outfit for the meeting.The day, in total.“Right away, my lord.” While Darius left the chamber, I snatched a towel from the closet and reached the bathroom for a bath. After my bath, I walked out to a knock on the door. “Come on in.” Tightening the towel, I called. Agnes. The head of the maids. She was the one who walked in with a smile and a bow. “My lord. Good morning. I'm here to know what you would love to eat.” “I thought about it. “Good morning, Agnes. Anything would work for me this morning. But can you be fast about it? I don't have all day and am hungry.” I wanted the da
AEGON From where I sat, I could tell that Kairel could see the unpleasant look on my face. “Do you hear me, Aegon?” His next words snapped me out of my thoughts and I looked up to meet his gaze. “I want Annora released. She is my mate and I deserve this.” I shook my head immediately. “No, Kairel. You don't know what you're talking about.” “No, Aegon—” he challenged. “I am very sure of what I speak of. I have come all the way from my chamber down to this hall to ask you for my mate. She is my mate and deserves to be free. Let go of her already. You have to.” It was funny. Very funny that Kairel had grown such wings in the space of a few days. How could he talk to me like this? I thought about it and it brought a smile to my face. “You're not going to ask for this favor again, my friend,” I warned. “You'll leave me with no choice but to treat you like a stranger and you're not one. Mind your words, Kairel.”He chuckled. An act that rarely happened. “You've given me more than en
KAIREL At this point, anger rushed through my veins like blood. I hit the door, watching it shut with a bubble. “Argh!” A loud shout escaped my mouth as I hit the door again. What the fuck went down behind my back? And how come Annora thought of me as a fool? Reaching the end of my chamber, the urge to remain standing overwhelmed me and at the same time, I wanted to be seated. Just then, I sat down on the couch with so many thoughts running around in my head. How dare Aegon? From the perspective of Annora, she was nothing but right. If she had a way, she would not let Aegon have his way with her. She was nothing but a poor woman who didn't have any choice at all. Why did I expect more from her? Aegon deserved to die. He deserved a gun pointed at his skull. He deserved to become the weak man I always thought of him as. How could he do this to me? How dare he be wicked to me, despite my loyalty? Standing on my feet, I fell back on the couch an
ANNORASince he got back, we haven't set eyes on each other. I didn't want to see him. I didn't want to say a word to him. All I wanted to do was stay back in my chamber and not leave the room for any reason.This morning, I thought I was one of the first wolves to come awake. I had wanted to reach the door when I changed my mind and remained on the bed. How did I forget about the recent happenings? How did I forget Kairel had returned and I didn't want to see him? Relaxing back on the bed, I thought about what to do. How worse my life had been since the very moment the Pack of my wicked Father was attacked. What do I do? These and many more thoughts ran around in my head. More sighs ran out of my head and I was startled by the hand of someone knocking on my door. “My lady?” Left with no choice, I sat up. Who was that? Who else if not for Sora? Sora was the only person I set eyes on all day. Even though I didn't dare leave the chamber, she was the only one who had a right to
AEGONInstead of a reaction, Kairel burst out laughing. What was funny? All these while, since I announced the news to him, I had looked away with expectations that his hand hit me in the face. But no, instead of that, he burst into laughter. What was funny? Again, I wondered. “Kairel—” I cried. “This is not a joke, brother.” “Of course, it is, Alpha Aegon—” he dropped his spoon on the plate and faced me completely. “Tell me the truth, is this a joke? Did the moon goddess choose Annora for a task and the first step is pregnancy? How come?” “No—” I stuttered. “Annora has not been chosen by the moon goddess for anything. There's nothing like that that has happened. I felt you needed to know the truth and nothing more. Can you stop laughing, at least?” Kairel shook his head. He picked up the spoon and moped at it before dropping it on the plate once more. “My lord—” he called. “Alpha Aegon—” he called again, an uncertain look on his countenance. “Do you mean to tell me that Annor
AEGONMembers made an unusual sound this morning. Maybe it was quite usual but it's been long since I heard them make noises like that. I jumped off my bed and rushed to the window so that I could look down and see what was happening down there. Kairel was back!Oh, no. My gaze scanned the gate of the compound and I craned my ears so that I could listen to what the wolves were saying. Where was Kairel? Nowhere. Suddenly, a carriage drove into the large space of the compound. It was the same car he left in that had brought him back. How was I supposed to feel about this development? I looked at myself, then down the pack before catching sight of Kairel who hopped down from the carriage.Wolves, now, chanted. Kairel, who obviously was happy to be home, waved at them, chanting the same song as them with a smile on his face. “Thank you, wolves. It's good to be home.” No, it wasn't. Not after what has happened. Would he be happy to be home when he knew the latest? Somehow, I did
ANNORAWh—what was he talking about? “I don't understand you, Aegon. What do you speak of?” He moped at me, dumb. Why didn't he speak? Why couldn't he say something?“What did you say?” “You're pregnant, Annora.” No fucking way!No way!For who?!“No—” I mouthed, getting off the bed. “You've got to be kidding me, Aegon. What did you say?” Was I pregnant? Was this the reason why I couldn't do anything for days? Was this why I fainted in the kitchen? “Are you joking?!” “I don't know,” he cried. “This question would need to be directed to Magnus. I have no idea what to think or say at this point, Annora. But the truth remains that you're with child although we don't know wh—” No. He wasn't going to say that, was he? A wicked smile appeared on my face and I looked at Aegon who had the most confusing look ever on his face. I had never seen him this way. Never. But why would he ask or act like he didn't know this child was his? No. What was I trying to do? Accept that I was pre
Annora “P-please!”The monster didn't leave my side, neither did he hear any of my pleas.My voice had gone hoarse from begging for his mercy. I felt his large hand dip into my hair, yanking my head up to gaze at him, my mouth hanging open.My breath was caught in my throat, and I winced in pain, tears flowing down from my eyes, uncontrolled. But the monster wouldn't let go of my hair, rather he grinned as he locked eyes with me. His orbs were as dark as his soul, but I didn't dare look away, not while my hair was tangled around his fist and he yanked it harder, with a devilish precision while his red lips still formed a satisfied smile.My expression morphed into a wince and the tears wouldn't stop flowing.“I want this one…” he announced, a smile snaking his red thin lips, an opening to the hell of his mouth. “I love what her mouth looks like wide open. Keep her in a separate carriage.”Disgust bit through me and my stomach sank. I spat in his face. “Go to hell, Demon! Go to hell!...
