~ Matteo ~

"I have always liked dealing with you, Matteo. You have always been fair and just, but since the girl came into the picture, you have been erratic, making decisions without discussing them with the table. And that is not how things work in our world." Lou droned on my fingers, gripping the phone's edge until I could hear it squeak from the pressure.

"I see," I replied coolly, my eyes briefly drifting to his son. "He crossed a line, Lou... If I came into your house and put my hands on your wife... I would expect some sort of repercussion. Now if I had not only put hands on your wife but had thrown her to the floor and threatened her like a fucking dog... I would be dead... we both know it! So your son got off lightly." I announced, looking back at the phone, waiting for something to happen.

"His hand... you took his fucking hand!" Lou screamed, spit flying across the table and landing on my new jacket; my eyes looked at it and then at him in disgust.

    ~ Matteo ~ "Do we know who is attacking and how many there are?" Samuel asked, bringing my focus back to the here and now and away from the downward spiral I was eyeing. I could hear the strain forming in Samuel's voice and fought to hide the tension on my brows from my guests. "I won't get there in time! Fuck! Alpha, I have called for reinforcements. They will be there before me." Samuel finally snapped, anger ripping through him. "How?" I asked, baffled; Samuel always travelled alone, claiming he needed space from the pack and its drama. Despite my inner trauma, I kept my eyes still glued to the screen and watched Emmy like a hawk as the guard fought people off. "She is fit and young. She will be pregnant in no time, Pa, and you will have those grandbabies you want!" Ryan announced, my jaw clenched so tightly, knowing he was desperate and clutching at straws to get a reaction from me. Instead, I focused my attention on the guard I had hired. He was Emmy's only chance at this mom

    ~ Emmy ~ "I might not be so white in a minute.." Rae laughed as the door crashed into the gym, sending wood and metal flying over the floor like it was fucking confetti. Snarling, I caught my prowler's face in the mirror, a mask of astonishment and fear settling on his features as he eyed me, pulling his mask off as if it was somehow causing his eyes to play tricks on him. "I guess if I had watched a girl disappear into a room only to get inside and come face to face with a beast instead, I would have been scared too!" I mused to my beautiful wolf in the mirror."Hey, less beast.. I was magnificent a minute ago!" Rae whined, and I chuckled at her neediness, finally grasping the personality I had sensed in my head. Now that I was seeing her, I understood more than had seemed possible."It was majestic." I corrected her. "AND... You can be majestic and beastly! Have you never seen a lion up close!" I reminded her with a charming chuckle. "Shit!" The male hissed, bringing my attention

    ~ Matteo ~ Staring at the screen, I watched the scenes unfold and knew my jaw was hanging open; not only had the camera panned around to show my girl kicking ass but in wolf form, no less. She was fucking breathtakingly beautiful, as pure as freshly fallen snow. I had never seen an entirely white wolf before, but she was magnificent; even her eyes shone brighter than any wolf I had seen. I couldn't wait to get back to the penthouse and see her in person and, of course, get an apology for her 'crazy' remark while I tanned her ass for being a brat last night! I watched her move with such grace and power I would never have guessed this was the first time she had shifted. She was a natural! I had to turn the volume down to stop Lou and his prick of a son from hearing the growl that left my girl's lips as she slid across the floor to chase her prey. "Mate!" I heard Blaze roar in my head, and I wanted to agree, but I couldn't help the nagging feeling eating at the back of my head, tell

    ~ Matteo ~Sitting back in my chair, I brought my fingers to my lips and began to chew at the nail beds as Lous words sunk in. My kind. Silver bullets."Shit!" I hissed. The bastard knew about me, about what I was. Who had he told? Did that mean my board knew, too? Was my world about to come crumbling down because of a fucking girl."If they don't know, they will soon enough; Ryan ain't gonna keep his mouth shut!" Blaze announced, ignoring my comment about Emmy."I know, not after what I have done to his hand!" I groaned."It's his pride that is wounded!" Blaze corrected me. Feeling my teeth nibble too roughly on my nail bed, catching my skin, I watched blood trail down my finger and drop onto my crisp white shirt. The slight inconvenience pushed me over the edge and shattered my calm exterior; lifting from the chair, I roared and swiped all the shit off my desk, watching as papers, files, and my computer crashed to the floor in a booming sound that had Gwen rushing into the room, pa

    ~ Emmy ~ I had tried to rush down the hall to the males who had barged into the penthouse, wanting to see what Rae could really do when let loose; the intruder who lay shredded on the gym floor had been a piece of piss for her; I think she needed a little challenge. "Cut me a break, huh, Emmy? It's my first day on four legs!" Rae chuckled, but I could feel her excitement to get her paws dirty and teeth into something or someone else! But as we rounded the corner, my guard caught up with me, pushing my bedroom door open and elbowing me into the room. Pausing momentarily to look at Rae's angry face, he chuckled but slammed the door shut behind him, closing me inside like a naughty child.I had debated shifting back into my human form like Rae had suggested, if only so I could open the door and get out, but ultimately, I had shredded my clothing when I had shifted back in the gym, and like fuck was I going out there naked. That little stunt had cost me... and Ryan enough already! Plus,

    ~ Emmy ~ I felt anger ripple off Rae; she didn't actually want the attention of these males, not in the way they thought, anyway. I could feel her longing to feel appreciated; she had sent years inside my head dulled down and ignored. She just wanted to feel... accepted by her own kind! Matteo's move to banish us had hurt her more than she let on, which was why she was acting out. I got that! I felt the same! So I said nothing and allowed her time to deal with the fucking shit hand we had been dealt while drifting in between the legs of the guests Matteo had sent, nuzzling her nose into their hands so that she could feel... something! But it was too late; they would pull away every time she went in to feel a connection."NO!" One of the males snapped, bravely holding a finger up to Rae's face to get her to stop pestering them for attention. "So, Matteo wants.." He started to say to get her attention, but Rae ignored him, howling needily over him every time he tried to speak. I coul

    ~ Wyatt ~ Well, shit, a brick! It wasn't meant to happen like this... I wasn't meant to actually fall for the girl! Especially after one morning! I came in here feeling ok with tricking her into falling for me, as planned by my father! I knew I had to lay the charm on thick from the off, and something told me she liked it that way. She didn't seem like a beat-around-the-bush type of girl. When she waltzed into the dining room this morning, it was clear that she wanted attention, something she didn't get from Matteo, evidently!He was cold, harsh and utterly undeserving of her. She wanted to feel worshipped and adored, like she should! And it irritated me to see her left needing more than what her so-called mate was giving. Wolves baffled me! Why discard something so pure as a mate bond? My kind would not be so frivolous with something so unique and special. The way he brushed her feelings off and left her alone with a male she didn't know after dropping the bomb that she was being

    ~Wyatt ~ "Fuck!" I hissed, hating that I wasn't quick enough to know who had chanced a glance in on us and what they had seen or thought they had seen. Although I knew if I was honest with myself, I was more angry that they had seen her naked than what they believed they had seen between us. That I could fix... them glancing at her perfect body, I could not! "Well, I could remove their eyes!" I mused as I grabbed the shirt I had dropped in the madness of her kissing me, nodding for her to lift her arms, which she did with a groan. Chuckling at the cuteness overload, I slid it on and buttoned it up, tutting at the way she tried to pull from me. I knew she wanted to slap my hand away, that fiercely independent streak in her determination to fight me, but her body was beyond depleted, so begrudgingly, she allowed me to take the lead this once. "Why couldn't we stay in your form!" She moaned to Rae with a yawn. "Oh yes, let's just trudge through the building as a big ass white wolf,

    ~ Emmy ~I awoke with a start, my heart pounding in my chest, my body drenched in sweat. The darkness around me felt oppressive, the dream lingering like a heavy fog in my mind. I could still see my mother’s haunted eyes, and hear her desperate pleas. But what had she whispered? What was it that I wasn’t supposed to know?Rae stirred within me, sensing my turmoil. “What’s wrong?” she asked, her voice echoing softly in my mind.“I saw her, Rae,” I whispered, my voice shaking. “I saw my mother. She was running from something, a creature... and she handed me over to the Ma who raised me. She said I must never know what I am, that I am in danger. But she whispered something I couldn’t hear.” Rae was silent for a moment, processing my words. “Dreams can be powerful, Emmy. They can show us things from our past, our deepest fears, or even glimpses of the future. Whatever it is your mother whispered, it’s important. When we are out of this cave we will work it out, I promise.” I took a deep

    ~ Emmy ~My feet moved quickly, hoping to find shelter from the prying eyes I felt boring into my back. Eventually, I came to a grand staircase that spiralled down into what looked like a vast hall below. Taking a deep breath, I started down the stairs, avidly aware of the fact I was naked, filthy and smelt like arse. My mind raced with thoughts of what might await me. I had to stay focused and strong. "Emmy, you’ve got this," I told myself. This place, no matter how enchanting, would not break me.As I reached the bottom of the staircase, I found myself in a grand hall that was even more extravagant than the room I had started in. Massive chandeliers hung from the ceiling, their crystals sparkling in the candlelight. Marble floors gleamed beneath my feet, and towering columns lined the room, their surfaces carved with intricate patterns that seemed to tell a story of their own."Someone hasn't heard of the saying less is more." I marvelled aloud as I looked around the rather over-th

    ~ Emmy ~ Rae had exhausted herself running through the demonic realm and had finally given me control while she slept. We were hidden away in a dark cave, the air thick and heavy with the scent of sulphur and despair. She had commanded me to stay put, to rest, but sitting still had never been my strong suit. "It's just a while longer." I sighed as I looked around the cave. It was pitch black, and the silence was suffocating, I could hear the distant echoes of tortured souls, the cries of the damned: not exactly helping me relax. My heart ached with the weight of hopelessness, and I started to feel despair creeping into my soul."Ahhh, this is killing me." I moaned loudly. Unable to sit still any longer, I began to pace the cave. Every step felt like a rebellion against the darkness that threatened to swallow me whole. My eyes slowly adjusted to the inky blackness, but there was little to see beyond the jagged walls and the occasional scatter of bones. My mind raced with thoughts of

    ~ Matteo ~ "So, what's your plan?" I requested Evelyn, as I rejoined the group. Wyatt by my side a silent pact had been made between us, and it would stay silent until we had Emmy and Lula back. As if understanding the situation Levi and Hank nodded to Everlyn and the book she had pulled out of her bag."We need to infiltrate the wedding," Evelyn declared, her tone resolute. "We can use the gathering to our advantage. With so many supernatural beings in one place, it'll be chaotic. It'll give us a chance to find Emmy and Lula, and possibly stop Wyatt's father before he completes whatever ritual he's planning." I nodded slowly, the wheels in my mind turning. It was risky, but Evelyn was right. This could be our best chance to strike. "Alright," I said. "What do you need from us?""We need to sneak into the wedding," Evelyn began to outline her plan with a determined expression, her green eyes flickering with urgency.

    ~Matteo ~I stood in the clubhouse, irritation boiling just beneath the surface. The door had been left unlocked—a careless mistake that could cost lives, especially since we had just been attacked. I was about to rip Levi a new one, despite Hank trying to defend his brother's idiocy, when I noticed Levi talking with a woman. I paused, listening to their conversation. "She is his mate, the witch?" I mouthed to Hank who nodded, a slight glimmer of jealousy shining in his eyes. Which I guessed was down to the fact that she was striking. Her rich, deep auburn hair fell in loose waves down to her shoulders, catching the dim light and adding a warmth to the otherwise grim room. Her piercing green eyes, sharp and intelligent, missed nothing as they darted around, assessing every detail. Except apparently the group of wolves behind her! Regardless they held a depth that spoke of experience and resilience, something that drew my attention.Her skin was fair, almost glowing, hinting at time s

    ~ Wyatt ~Levi and I travelled back to the club using my powers of teleportation. As we landed, I couldn’t help but smirk when he doubled over, retching onto the floor. It was a sight I had grown accustomed to, one that never failed to amuse me.“Magic doesn’t suit everyone,” I teased, clapping him on the back as he wiped his mouth. “You’d think dating a witch would toughen you up a bit, but here you are, still can’t stomach a simple teleportation spell.”Levi shot me a glare, but his usual retort was missing. He was too tense, too on edge to indulge in the back-and-forth banter battle that seemed to be 'our thing'. I understood why. The club was eerily quiet, a stark contrast to its usual hustle and bustle. Everyone had dispersed, off to complete their tasks, leaving the place feeling empty and hollow.I took a seat at the bar, leaning back as I watched Levi pace back and forth. "What's up squirrel?" I asked as he rounded to look at me."Squirrel?" He repeated his nose screwed up wi

    ~ Emmy ~ From out of the shadows, the winged beast emerged, its massive black wings unfurling and casting an ominous shadow over the already bleak landscape. Fear gripped me and Rae, our shared anxiety intensifying as the creature drew closer. This time, we could see it more clearly, and the sight was enough to make my blood run cold.The beast was monstrous, its eyes glowing with a malevolent fire. Its teeth were jagged and pointed, each one coated in the blood of its victims, gleaming sickeningly in the dim red light that permeated the realm. The talons on its feet were sharp and shining, looking like they could easily pierce through Rae’s fur and flesh.Rae’s instincts screamed at her to run, but she stood her ground, her body tense and ready to react. I could feel her muscles coiled like springs, prepared to leap or dodge at the slightest hint of an attack.“We have to stay calm,” I whispered to her, trying to steady my own racing heart. “We can’t outrun it, but maybe we can outs

    ~ Matteo ~ "And who do you think you are?" Mr White sneered, his smirk faltering, replaced by a flash of anger and fear. He leaned forward, trying to regain his composure. In the balcony door reflection, I watched as Samuel leaned in, matching his intensity. "The end of the line for you, I am afraid." He chortled, uncaring for his feelings. "Unless you can give me the information I need," I announced as I turned from the balcony, happy that my pack were doing their jobs. "I am afraid I am going to have to let Samuel here tear you apart..." "He will have to get in line.." Hank growled from the other side of me, a smile splitting my lips. "You all will," Blaze announced through the pack link. "So shall we.." I motioned for Mr White to give me what I needed. As I spoke, I felt Blaze, my wolf, stir within me, a growl rumbling in the depths of my mind. He was as repulsed by this place as I was, and his presence gave me the strength to confront the monster before us. This auction hous

Though I had once participated in these auctions, buying women from him, knowing that he was the cause of Emmy's painful journey into my world, gnawed at me."Matteo!" Mr. White exclaimed, his voice as oily as his appearance. He tried to mask his nervousness with a wide, insincere grin. "Welcome, welcome! And your friends, of course. How is Emmy doing? Serving you well, I hope?" I clenched my jaw, ready to respond, but Samuel stepped forward, cutting me off. "What are tonight's auctions?" he asked, his voice sharp and to the point. Mr. White blinked, taken aback for a moment before regaining his composure. "Ah, yes, the auctions," he conveyed, rubbing his hands together. "Tonight, we have three very special women up for bid." He gestured grandly, as if presenting fine art. "First, we have a young woman from the northern territories. Blonde, blue-eyed, v
