Malik! Light flooded the room, revealing Malik standing among the fallen men, his chest smeared with their blood. The man holding me quickly snaked his arm around my neck, using me as his shield as he pulled back. My hands were now securely tied behind me. Then he began a low, cruel laugh, a
~Ezinne~ Hunter led me into a warm, welcoming room where Kael was patiently waiting. When Kael saw us, he quickly stood up, looking back and forth between Hunter and me, as if trying to understand what was going on from our body language. Hunter gently helped me sit down on a very soft sofa,
"Midnight snaking?" I asked. He nodded eagerly with a smile. "I'm all for it." "Good. So, how do you like your eggs?" he asked again. "Scrambled," I answered, feeling a bit surprised but glad for the distraction. He nodded, then walked over to the fridge. "First, let's make you a c
~Ezinne~ "Why is she still wearing that?" Malik asked in a voice that was a bit too loud than normal. His angry eyes fixed on Kael. "I didn't think it was right to take her to your room without asking, Your Majesty," Kael answered, his voice steady. "You needed my permission t
"Why?" I asked, my indignation flaring. "Why do you keep seeing me as a threat?" "Because you're a threat," Rafe countered bluntly. "You lured those beasts here." I couldn't believe Rafe was saying that to me. "How can you blame me for their attack? I don't see how—" "Enough," Malik
~Malik~ Everything should have been perfect after I found my mate and we completed the bonding rituals. But it felt as though my problems were only beginning. Convincing Ezinne to become my wife was surprisingly easy, considering her strong-willed nature. It made me suspect her purpose of be
~Ezinne~ I couldn't understand what was happening to me. Was it because they acted like I was invisible, which triggered painful memories, or was it the way they told me to leave, making it clear that I didn't belong? Feeling like you don't belong is tough. It's hard to see the point in stat
However, after a short while, I gathered myself from the floor and dried my tears. I had been through tough times before; I could handle this as well. This time, at least, I wasn't in love, which would allow me to think more clearly. I will endure it to get what I want. I was here on a mission. Afte
~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
