"Let go of me," I snarled, my anger boiling over so intensely that my body trembled with the force of it. "Or what? You'll kill me?" Malik retorted, releasing his grip. His tone was laced with disbelief and frustration. "Seriously, I don't understand. Am I the villain now because I reacted to
~Ezinne~ I had never witnessed such intense emotions etched across Malik's face. His shoulders drooped, burdened by a weight far too heavy for any man to bear. My heart raced with disbelief at his confession. "Was that why you killed him?" I asked softly, taking a step back into the room. I co
His father shook his head, a grave expression shadowing his features. "I will only add to your burdens. I don’t want to become the kind of father you would grow to resent, one who drags you down. I want you to soar higher than I ever did. To do that, you must not have a weakness, or at least never r
~Ezinne~ "So, he made you believe it was a covenant?" I asked, my voice tinged with disbelief as I wiped away the hot tears streaking down my cheeks after Malik had just finished recounting the harrowing events that happened in his father's office on that fateful day. My heart went out to him, not
Malik's response was a soft chuckle that seemed to carry a mix of scepticism and resignation. "Believe me, if anyone knew a way, it would be her. She doesn't hold the answers you seek. She was the one that made me know that my father had cursed me that day and had sealed that curse with his life and
Ezinne Malik remained silent, his gaze distant and thoughtful, before he finally broke the silence. "Love. It was something I vowed not to feel. I watched how it destroyed my father for years. I felt it destroyed my life too. You know, if my father had not loved my mother so much, maybe he would ha
As he spoke, tears began to stream down my cheeks. A surge of guilt overwhelmed me, and I was torn with indecision. Should I confess my initial plans to him, even though I had no plans of carrying them out anymore? Should I just go ahead and accept the future he offered, even if there was a chance i
~Malik~ As I strolled from the training grounds through the echoing hallways, I hummed a light, carefree tune. Kael quietly followed behind me. Today, my spirits had soared unusually high during training; I even managed to crack a joke or two. Ezinne and I had slept wrapped up in each other's arms
~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
