I blinked in surprise, taken aback by his reaction. "Is what happening?" I echoed; my tone filled with confusion. He sighed heavily, his eyes drifting towards the suitcase that lay open on the bed, his expression darkening with seriousness. "I warned Malik, but he wouldn't listen. Now, what do
~Ezinne~ Minutes later, Delilah had finished adorning me in my attire, and I looked splendid in the reflection that greeted me from the mirror. While I was fully capable of dressing myself, Delilah's expert touch as a professional stylist made the experience distinctly enjoyable. I watched her
"Thank you, Your Highness," she said, her voice trembling as tears streamed down her cheeks. "You're the only one who has supported me like this. Kael is proud to be seen with me, but I've remained hidden in the shadows out of fear. My fellow servants constantly remind me of my lower status and that
~Ezinne~ Xavier's driving was as wild as his life— wild and exhilarating. But I enjoyed it. With the roof of his sleek Bentley retracted, the crisp air played mischievously with my hair, tossing it in joyful disarray. No one from our pack interfered or questioned our sudden departure; they likely
"Maybe you should apologize to her. It might help," I suggested. Xavier shook his head slowly, the shadow of regret darkening his features. "She wouldn't want to hear any apology. The way I rejected her was unforgivable. I wouldn't even forgive myself if I were in her shoes." I looked at Xavier
"I realize that now. Back then, I didn't see it that way," he admitted. As we drove, I felt a pull to comfort him. Tentatively, I reached toward his hand resting on his lap, hesitating momentarily—I wasn't sure how he would react to the gesture. Seeing his vulnerability, I decided to go ahead and
~Malik~ That dawn had been the best moment of my life since I lost my real family. I had never felt happier or more at peace. I dreamt of Ezinne, her presence weaving through the fabric of my dreams, her smile radiant and infectious. We wandered through fields adorned with blooming flowers, and
My eyes narrowed, and I fixed Hunter with a glare as sharp as a dagger. "Really? Is that the question you should be asking me right now? I paused mid-stride, turning to face them squarely, a challenge in my stance. "On whose side are you even on?" Rafe hiked his shoulders. "We're on the side o
~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
