"Alright, your question," I prompted, eager to shift the focus. Malik hesitated for a moment; his gaze intense. "There’s a story about you... about your time in your former pack. They say you killed your co-wife's pup. Is there any truth to that?" The question caught me off guard. My grip
~Ezinne~ A burnt orange sunset bled across scattered summer rain clouds as I began my walk into the garden. After yesterday's escapade, Malik had vanished as if swallowed by the earth, and I couldn't help but blame myself for it, even though his actions hurt me. Maybe I wasn't the one to coax
"Malik," I whispered, somewhat breathless. "What are you doing here?" The memory of his harsh shove the day before flashed vividly in my mind, igniting a swarm of butterflies that fluttered chaotically in my stomach. I had sworn to hate him forever, but the sight of him still tied knots in my stom
"Answer me, Red. Where would you let him touch?" Malik's voice was a low growl as his hands roamed assertively over my legs, pausing with a firm grip on my backside. His lips found the tender skin of my throat, planting fervent kisses that trailed down towards my chest. "Would you prefer him to be g
~Malik~ I sat on the edge of the frosty, empty mattress, my gaze lost to the void of my sparse room. Blood seeped from the gash in my palm. The injury had come from my earlier outburst, while scattered shards of glass lay strewn across the floor like icy droplets. I hadn't expected Ezinne's d
~Malik~That same day, Xavier had returned from wherever he went to, all battered and injured, and Ezinne had been around him like a mother hen. I knew Xavier was deeply wounded, and after narrating his ordeal, I had taken action by asking my warriors to fish out the culprits. It sounded like a robb
For a moment, she stared at me, her expression a mix of bewilderment and incredulity, and then unexpectedly, she burst into laughter. The sound of her laughter grew with my confusion. Why was she laughing? What was so funny? When her laughter finally tapered off, she faced me, her eyes glistening w
~Ezinne~ 'Luna Isobel was a pretty great woman. I guess this pack is lucky to have you. It feels like she is here all over again.' Xavier's words echoed in my head. It was hard to reconcile the image of the woman he described with the villain that Ashere had depicted, who had committed thos
~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
