CHAPTER FORTY-EIGHT

Brother...

I didn't hear it wrong, did I? Yet, when his gaze flicked to me I saw the striking resemblance between them. There is no mistaking it.

He's the little brother Carlos told me about. But I thought he said he died. Clearly, that was not the case at all.

He's here, alive. And it's either he happens to be here or he is one of the rogues. And by the looks of it, he is one of them.

Carlos stared at him all the time, and his hands were shaking. I could hear his heartbeat racing. The way he swallowed when he saw him for the first time.

Some of the trackers behind me growled, but Carlos held up his hand in warning. Not to take action. That he had this under control.

'Get the children to safety. I will deal with this.' He sent the message through the group link. All of us just froze.

'Now!' The warning in his voice has become a real threat. It had everyone jolting up to go to move the children to safety. I, however, stayed in my spot unmoving.

    CHAPTER FORTY-NINECasey's POV"Hey, hey, sshhhh..." I could hear someone shushing me. I try to move. Try to get up. But my body was killing me. "Argh..." I groan, peeling my eyes open. It was Nita, staring at me right in the face.I knit my brows. "What are you doing here? I mean, what am I doing here?""It's okay. You're safe now." What is she talking about? I winced when a searing pain swept right through me as I tried to move. My mind was in a haze. Blinking, I take in my surroundings. I'm in a white room. Everything was white and the air smelt strongy of disinfectant, alcohol, and... blood?Then it snapped. The witch. Sorcerer or whatever. Lucas. Rogues. The kids. My breath hitched in my throat.Carlos. Oh, my god."Carlos!" I vaguely remember seeing his wolf breathing hard on the ground. Blood oozing off his stomach. I remember him taking the hit, when Lucas tried to pierce me with his magical glowing weapon. And then I remember... a whimper. His wolf, whimpering as he laye

He agreed to do the mission in exchange for freedom. I sighed."Just so you know, I didn't want to do this." The Alpha muttered.I nodded, but didn't speak."I had no choice. He was getting out of control." "But to put him back in that cell?" I snapped. I couldn't close my damn mouth to save my life. The Alpha stopped in his tracks, twirling on his heel to face me. The look in his eyes now is deadly."Listen, girl. This is also out of my control. I can't control him.""Why?"His eyes narrowed at me."You're the alpha." I added.He squinted at me before he sighed. He shook his head. "Not everything is as simple as you think." I tilted my head. I wondered what he meant by that when a guard rushed over to us."Alpha, he's losing it!" The man was panting, his eyes wide."Sedate him." I snapped my eyes to the Al

I asked, casting a worried look to my dress as I smoothed it down."Are you kidding?" Pixie was the first to speak, as Evvie was still in a trance."You look amazing!" She beamed.I smiled."Absolutely gorgeous." Evvie nodded in agreement, snapping out of her trance.A wide grin spread on my face. "Thank you," I sighed, turning back to the mirror. "Is something wrong?" Pixie steps forward, a worried look on her face.For the nth time, I let out a sigh. "What if...this was a mistake? What if I'm not ready for this?

    Evvie's POV:“Don’t be sad, Evvie.” Zachary, my smoking hot and soon-to-be beta boyfriend, soothed me. I pouted, crossing my arms against my breasts. We were in my room. Seated on my bed, I pursed my lip as Zachary plopped down beside me.“I promise I’ll be back before you know it. I’ll only be gone for a few months.” He said as an attempt to comfort me.“You mean six long, agonizing months of me not being able to see you.” I rolled my eyes, refusing to meet his piercing blue orbs flitting to my breasts for a split second.“Why can’t they let you use your phone during training?” I grumbled, folding my arms against my chest.He chuckled and ruffled my hair. “Because we need to focus on training, silly.”I slapped his hand away, shooting him a glare. I hate it when he does that.“Evvie, please. I need to get going in just an hour. I can’t even get a hug?” He pouted like a child. His eyes are too dreamy to resist.Rolling my eyes, I scooted closer and pressed my body against him, giving h

I was at a loss for words when Ethan, my brother who was older than me for two years, blocked Zachary from my sight. His large frame towered over me but for once, I was glad he was taller. Just so I could hide my eyes nearing to burst into tears any second.“You’ve done enough, Zach.” My brother said sternly. He is also the future gamma of our pack. Winter Mist Pack. Zachary the future beta and Gabriel the future alpha.They were the hot trio that filled my high school days with both annoyance and thrill.I was always with them, at first as Ethan’s little sister. Then I became Zach’s good little girlfriend.Until now.“Brother, let me talk to her.” He growled, sounding angry. It appalled me that he had the nerve to be angry in this situation.Ethan shifted his stance, shielding me from him protectively.“I said enough!” he barked.I heard Zach

    Evvie’s POV:“Evvie, we need to talk.”Gritting my teeth, I swallowed the lump immediately forming in my throat.Even hearing his deep voice does things to me I can never appreciate at this state.Does the moon goddess take pleasure in f*cking up our feelings even when things get f*cked up? I wondered as I looked into his eyes.“What’s up?” I asked like my heart was not breaking into a million tiny pieces.He pursed his lips. God I hate how I still felt attracted to him despite what he did.I crossed my arms against my chest, vaguely aware of my cleavage exposed through the thin lace dress I was wearing. I had purposely picked out this outfit preparing for this day. Today, I was supposed to give my virginity to him. Mate or not. I have made my decision.But he made his decision too.“Evvie, I don’t want to make this harder than it already is.” He sighed.I glared hard at him. I know what he’s doing.“If you’re here to reject me, do it.” I said through clenched teeth.He looked shocked

    Evvie’s POV:“f*ck.” He sighed into my lips. His strong hands trailed down my thighs and lifted me. I wrapped my legs around him, my arms snaking around his neck as I banished all reason to the fact that I was doing nothing wrong. He is my mate, after all.His tongue invaded my mouth and I welcomed it, thrusting my own and tasting the inside of his mouth. I moaned as he sucked on my tongue and I pulled him closer.It felt just right.But like all good things in my life, this one moment I get to share with my mate has to end briefly.“She’s pregnant, Evvie…” He sighed. “I can’t…”He gently placed my feet down, but I was numb all over. Zach hung his head and I pressed my lips into a line, taking in deep breaths as my wolf handed me back the reins out of sheer disappointment. I felt my cheeks flush in embarrassment.If only I knew, I would have given him myself sooner. Then this never would have happened. He would still be my mate. And I would still be his.My heart ached until I couldn

    CHAPTER FORTY-SEVEN Carlos’ POV Is it him? Is it really him? I can’t believe it. Even Vato became dead silent. Is it really our little brother? But that’s impossible. He died, years ago. I saw it happen with my own eyes. I stare gobsmacked at the man. His eyes were coral blue, something he’d gotten from our mother. His hair, jet black slicked back just like mine. He even has that same birthmark I remember him having as a child. I tried moving my lips, but they’re frozen as ice. “Lucas?” He smiled at Casey, but something about his expression felt different. Then he whips his gaze to me. Suddenly, he drops it. His eyes darkened, and I felt my blood run cold. TWENTY YEARS AGO… Blood. The air around me is filled with blood. Most belonging to my Dad, who had dropped dead on the ground before me. “Hmm,” I hear a rumbling sound. As I turn my head slowly, I realize I needed to look up to clash eyes with the figure I saw kill my Dad. My eyes raised, and my breath hit

    CHAPTER FORTY-SIX Casey’s POVA strong roar ripped from my chest. It was Kaleesa. Pure rage surged through my veins, consuming every rational thought I had. The world blurred, the trees, the warehouse, everything fading as my vision tunneled in on the rogue.I launched forward, claws out, fangs bared. I could hear Carlos yelling my name behind me, but it was drowned out by the blood pounding in my ears. His warning had come too late. Rage had taken over, and I had no plans to stop.I barely felt the ground beneath me as I sprinted toward the rogue who’d kicked the child. He never even saw me coming. My claws tore through his back before he could react, a satisfying crunch of bone under my hands. He crumpled to the floor, and the child scrambled away, eyes wide with terror. The scent of blood filled my nostrils, but it wasn’t enough. I wanted more.Another rogue lunged at me from the side. I spun, grabbing him mid-air, slamming him into the ground with enough force to crack the concre

I thought he wanted to. It turns out I thought wrong.I went too far, and he was not having it. He didn’t want me. He made that crystal clear from the very beginning, but still, I insisted. I have never felt so embarrassed in my entire life.It’s the third time he rejected me. The third time.How could I have been so stupid?I should have accepted his rejection, if I only knew it would be this painful the third time.Tears rolled down my cheeks as I turned around and ran off. I could hear him calling after me, but I never looked back.Danny tried to get it out of me a thousand times this morning. Each time

That goddamn dazzling, devious smile that has me gawking at him in awe.“Sorry, but it’s my little secret, since, I gave you my only one,” he said, and winked at me.Heat immediately rushed to my face, and I feel my chest flush, making me want to cover myself tighter if only I didn’t feel so hot.“But hey, looks like I’m not the only one,” he said, his tone turning serious.I looked up at him and narrowed my eyes.Wh
