~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
~Ezinne~ We arrived at Eclipse Park in the late afternoon, with the golden sun casting long shadows over the lush greenery. I was utterly exhausted, my stomach growling in hunger from the long journey, and I suspected Xavier must be feeling just as drained. A wave of sympathy washed over me.
"That won’t be necessary," he announced, his voice booming, stopping Louisa in her tracks. His formidable, Alpha aura enveloped me, and I instinctively stepped aside, letting him take the lead. Louisa spun around, her eyes widening as they met Xavier’s. An obvious fear washed over her, so intense t
~Ezinne~ Louisa's gaze drifted into the distance, clouded with memory, as I asked the question. I had always sensed her deep affection for my father, despite him not being her chosen mate. The way her eyes softened at the sight of his photographs spoke volumes of the love she had for him, likel
Louisa's voice softened as she recounted the night that changed everything. "One fateful night, I found him drunk at a bar. Seeing an opportunity, I didn't take him back to his house. Instead, I brought him to mine, and we had sex. Laurie left as soon as he sobered up the next morning, and he apolog
~Ezinne~ "Did my father love me?" I asked, struggling to process her story while blinking back the tears that threatened to spill. "His love for you was one of the reasons why I despised you so much," Louisa replied, her voice heavy with unspoken emotions. "A part of your father died wit
~Ezinne~ Candice descended the staircase, clad in an outfit that left little to the imagination and sauntered into the dining room. She effortlessly ignored the collective gaze of all of us as she took the seat beside me, placing herself directly across from Xavier. Xavier didn't bother to sp
~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
