~Ezinne~ I was jolted awake by the echoing clang of the heavy dungeon gate swinging open. The dungeon lay shrouded in darkness, illuminated only by a slender beam of sunlight piercing through a tiny opening in the ceiling. My cheek pressed against the icy floor, and a chill crept over my fee
"I refuse to waste my breath on a failure like you," I retorted sharply to Canice, watching as anger flushed his face. "What did you just say?" he spat, his voice rising. Ignoring him, I turned back to Garrick. "And why would you want me anywhere near Elara, your pregnant wife? Aren't you
Two Days Later... ~Ezinne~ Canice's voice echoed through the hall as he addressed the assembly, "We've gathered here to bear witness to the trials of a murderer, one who has cast a shadow of gloom and shame upon our pack with a heart filled with bitterness!" He declared, his eyes scanning t
"I only used enoxaparin because she was likely at risk of thrombosis, and the other was the Tdap vaccine. They are completely safe for her and the child," I protested. "But it was Prostaglandins in the syringe when it was tested," the nurse shot back, her eyes clouding with tears. "I never me
~Ezinne~ I was hauled up again by the warrior as I fell for the umpteenth time. The warriors lashed me with the silver whip, while the members of the Eclipse pack taunted me with a cruel song. My hands were tied up, and my wolf was so weak from all the silver. I made a silent prayer to the Moon G
"It was Lady Elara who entered the kitchen. She said she wanted to get some water," he replied. I nodded, my mind reverting to that night. I remembered Elara had an already filled glass of water, waiting for me when I entered the dining, as if she was expecting the food to be spicy. How did I miss
~Ezinne~ "Wake up," the woman whispered, drawing nearer until her face came into clear view. In that instant, the sharp sting of my aches dulled, as if I had slipped into a dream. I lay immobilized, my eyes the only part of me seemingly awake, while the rest of my body felt buried under a h
"So, what happened to Isobel?" I pressed, curious about the fate of this adversary. "She's no longer alive," Ashere answered simply. "And you expect me to seek revenge against a dead woman? My only desire for vengeance is against Garrick and those from the Eclipse pack who wronged me
~Malik~ I held Ange’s hand and led her out to the front of the castle where my pack members and distant Alphas from both the werewolf and Lycan territories were gathered. Everyone bowed their heads as we came out, standing on the podium. Rafe, Hunter, Soren, and Kael filed out behind us in thei
~Ezinne~ It was a total disaster. A far cry from what I had expected. I couldn’t believe that Alpha Abee was this malicious and could go to any extent to gain the power he needed. He had trapped us, releasing the rogues and his men on us. We were outnumbered, and even though our men fought val
~Malik~ My team and I pulled up just a few feet away from Alpha Abee’s cars. His men were already waiting, looking ready to fight. Once Alpha Abee saw our cars, he got out of his car, signalling his men to bring Kael out. They led Kael out while we led Ange out. Ezinne stood beside me, her fing
~Ezinne~ Malik paced up and down the den. We all waited in bathed breath as the hour passed. Ange told us everything we needed to know. It was so disheartening that the man Malik trusted from his childhood and had called him mentor, even respecting him as a father had been responsible for all
Ange’s words had the ring of truth, but I wasn’t ready to take her at face value or divulge our strategies. For all I knew, this could be a ploy. Since Malik and I have marked each other, we could link ourselves. I quickly reached out to him, informing him of Ange’s unexpected visit and the cryptic
“Oh, fucking goddess, Red. I think I’m going to come.” A moan escaped my throat, and I gagged as his head hit the back of my throat. He let me pull back to catch my breath, and I sucked on his tip, giving a flirty look under my lashes. “I don’t think I can wait any longer, Red. Come here.” He quic
~Ezinne~ I woke up from a barrage of pleasure slamming into me. Opening my eyes, I saw Malik nestled between my thighs, prying my legs open. I let out a sharp gasp as he sucked on my sensitive nub. “Malik, what are you doing?” I asked, my voice barely audible. “Satisfying you, my queen,” Mal
“I needed more time,” Ashere shot back. “I had a plan. I set Elara up back in Ezinne's ex-husband's pack so that she would be banished and be free from that pack. I patterned everything, and these kinds of things take time. If we don’t kill Malik, he will come back for us. Do you have any idea what
THIRD PERSON POV Alpha Abee roared with laughter, the sound echoing through the dimly lit room as he chugged the last of his whiskey and splashed another generous measure into his glass. His eyes twinkled with mischief and triumph as he turned to Ashere. “Everything is going just as I planned
