“I want you, please...hot...help me...” I grabbed the Lycan King's shirt and pulled him towards me, kissing him passionately. He hesitated for a moment, then held me even closer… I never expected that after being betrayed, slandered, and drugged by my ex-Alpha husband and half-sister, the King would be the one to save me. What surprised me even more was that I ended up pregnant with his child after that wonderful night. When I discovered he was plotting to kill me for his fiancée, I ran away. “Come back to me, Eden,” his Lycan Aura made me shiver uncontrollably. “No!” I bit my lip, insisting, “If you don't love me, you should let me go.” His dangerously captivating eyes locked onto mine, and he said gently, "You broke my curse, how could I let you leave?" Curse? What curse? “That's my secret,” he held my waist, whispering softly in my ear, “and I know yours too, Love. Let me help you awaken.”
view moreSerena’s POVI had to admit, the dungeon smelled like ass. I know it’s a dungeon and all, and it’s not supposed to be pleasant, but the stench was borderline unbearable. Like crusty old socks. And rotten meat. And damp werewolf fur. With a hint of vomit thrown in for good measure.The warriors were rough with me.“Ouch,” I said, affronted as they tossed me down onto the floor. “No need to be so violent. I’m a lady, after all.”They smirked at this. I looked around. The cell was small. It was cement walls from floor to ceiling. There were no windows, but it was fairly well-lit by a slew of lanterns. I noticed chains attached to the wall. They were very similar to the chains I’d used on Eden.Karma, I suppose.But to my surprise, the warriors didn’t chain me up.Other than the chains, the only other thing in the room was a small pot of some sort.“What’s that?” I asked, pointing to the pot.“That’s your pissing pot,” a warrior replied with a glint in his eye.My what? Hell no. I couldn’
Zane’s POVI marched into the pack house. I was glad that we’d found Serena and tossed her in the dungeon. She knew where Eden was. She refused to tell me, but I had ways…ways to make her talk. And I wasn’t above using them. As a Lycan, I couldn’t hurt a she-wolf.But my warriors could.If she wouldn’t give up Eden’s location willingly, then we’d force it out of her.“Zane?” A voice called to me from behind. I turned.Ugh. It was Chloe. She was walking towards me, a sweet smile plastered on her face. This was the last thing I needed right now. She’d been meddling in my affairs, telling Eden lies. I wished I could just get rid of her once and for all.But she knew my secret.She knew about my curse. So I had to keep her around for fear that she’d tell everyone.I couldn’t have that. It would make me look weak and vulnerable.“What?” I snapped at her, making it obvious that I was in no mood to talk.“I’ve been looking for you everywhere,” she said.“Why?”“Well, I’d like to invite you t
Serena’s POVI was furious at first. Adrian was accusing me of kidnapping Eden!Of course, it was true, and I had, but is that really what he thought of me? That I was some lunatic who kidnapped people from their own packs.I’d been offended.Eden was gone now and he STILL wasn’t over her.That’s when I found out Eden was pregnant.And apparently, that’s when the Lycan King did, too.Now, let’s get one thing clear here. The King is a total crackpot. I know he’s all ‘noble and Lycan and powerful and stuff’. But seriously? He’s got some really bad jealousy issues. And his temper? I’m not sure he’s stable enough to be ruling all these packs.Just saying…In any case, when the Lycan King barged in on Adrian and me, after hearing that she was pregnant, well. He went ballistic! Completely off the rails. Crazy, crazy mad.The look in his eyes! I almost shit myself. He unleashed his Lycan aura and then started choking Adrian! I mean, come on. Who does that?I was filled with instant dread. Th
Serena’s POV“Mate?”You’ve got to be fucking kidding me. Her? Seriously?Who was this woman? This warrior? Why was Adrian looking at her like that? Where had she come from? Everything was happening so fast.“Adrian?” I asked.His expression changed, right before my eyes. He looked like a stupid lovesick wolf pup. He was fixed to the spot, frozen.I looked back up at the woman, this ‘Astrid’. She was strong, sure. Whatever. Lots of she-wolves are. But there was something different about her. Something I couldn’t quite place at first. It was her confidence, the way she stood, the steady look on her face…It hit me.She stood like Storm.Did that mean….was she a Gamma?Her hand rested on the hilt of her dagger. Her eyes flitted over to Zane. He seemed pleased to see her. He nodded respectfully towards her.Right.Of course.She was the King’s Gamma. “Zane,” she nodded, with a curt, half smile.And all the while, Adrian just kept staring at her…with longing in his eyes.This wasn’t hap
Adrian’s POVI know, I know.Standing up to the Lycan King probably wasn’t in my best interest. And why was I defending Serena? She had kidnapped Eden, after all. Perhaps she deserved to be seized. I just couldn’t bear the thought of her being hurt. Or tortured. Or worse. I’d known Serena my whole life and my feelings for her ran deep. I stepped in front of her to block the warrior out of love. I wasn’t thinking with my head.“Out of the way!” the King commanded. I was nervous but I stood my ground. The warrior glared at me. I held out my hands to show that I didn’t want to fight. I just wanted to protect Serena.Serena cowered behind me. She clutched at the back of my shirt, clinging to me for dear life.“Adrian,” the King said. “What the hell are you doing?”What was I doing? I didn’t know. Was I nuts? Probably.“You don’t want to do this,” the king said, shaking his head. “Trust me. You’re not exactly my favorite person, but you’re innocent in all this. I’m going to tell you one la
Zane’s POVIt was…HER?This whole time?This young, weak werewolf, cowering before me? She was the one responsible for Eden’s disappearance?And what about Adrian? Why was he here? He knew? He knew that Serena was responsible?I shook with rage.Astrid had found blood on a tree trunk not too far away. It was in a clearing at the bottom of the canyon. There were footprints, too. And a long line in the dirt.“See here?” Astrid had said. “It looks like someone was dragging something. Or someone along the ground.”I nodded. We looked everywhere but the trail just suddenly stopped.The thought of someone dragging Eden? My poor Eden? It was horrific.Astrid had put her hand on my arm. “We’ll find her,” she’d assured me.We searched and searched. Every inch of the valley. But it was all just a dead end.Until….“Zane!” Astrid called me over. She was looking up squinting. “I think I just saw something. But I’m not sure.”“Saw what?” I asked.“Well, it’s pretty far up, but see there?” She poin
Adrian’s POVSerena didn’t know I was following her. She denied having anything to do with Eden’s disappearance, but I didn’t trust her. As soon as she got the chance, and she thought know one was looking, she snuck out of the packhouse.She ran through the forest, glancing back every so often. I was careful to keep a good distance so she didn’t see me, but not too far away that I lost her.We crossed through the pack boundary and into a different forest. I wondered for a moment if maybe she was lost. How could she make her way through this forest so confidently? But she never paused. She knew the way.After a while, we came to a valley. She stopped dead in her tracks.I was close enough to see what had made her stop.The valley was swarming with warriors.She turned around quickly, panic on her face. Then she veered to the right. She darted across a trail, away from the valley.It was clear that Serena was heading somewhere, but the warriors were in her way.This was a detour.Eventu
Eden’s POVUgh! I took a step back, disgusted by his offer.Seriously?Jacob had a really bad habit of not being able to think past his dick. Was he seriously considering letting me go if I….slept with him?What kind of proposal was that? He wanted sex that badly.“You’ve got to be kidding me,” Scarlett chuckled. “You’re willing to put your on life on the line for a roll in the hay? You’re pathetic.”A horn blew again, closer this time.“What do you say, Eden? I’ll be the best fuck you’re ever had.”I highly doubted that.“Are you insane?” Caleb interjected. “She’s the Lycan King’s mate? He’s crazy possessive. He’ll kill you if you sleep with her.”“Nah,” Caleb waved his hand. “I’ll say she seduced me.”“Right. And the King will believe that because you’re soooooo irresistible,” Scarlett mocked.“Enough. This is a pointless conversation. There’s no way in hell that Eden will sleep with you. Not even for her freedom,” Caleb sighed.It was true. I wouldn’t even consider it, not even for
Eden’s POVMy mouth dropped open.Scarlett?My eyes flew to the figure beside her.Caleb?But how could that be?I hadn’t seen either Caleb nor Scarlett since their wedding.I’d heard rumors that Zane had taken over the Sequoia Pack. In retaliation for hurting me. I’d also heard that both Scarlett and Caleb had been tossed into prison.So how were they here?I eyed them warily.“Who the hell are you?” Jacob spat out. He clearly had no idea who they were.“I’m the Luna of the Sequoia Pack. Scarlett,” she said, smiling slyly. Caleb clasped his hand in hers. I flinched.“And I’m Caleb. ALPHA of the Sequoia Pack.”“I don’t think so,” Jacob scoffed. “The Sequoia Pack was taken over by the Lycan King. You’re not the Luna and Alpha. Not anymore.”Now, as much as I hated Jacob, and I really did hate him, I couldn’t help but smile at his little burn. Scarlett and Caleb’s faces contorted at his insult.“How dare you!” Scarlett seethed.“You have no right talking to an alpha like that,” Caleb qu
