A murmur of agreement rippled through the hall.Nicholas turned back to me, a hint of admiration in his eyes. He lifted my hand gently and pressed his lips to my knuckles. “I’m honored to have you as my Luna,” he said softly. “You’ve helped me expose Isabella’s false image in front of everyone. Than
Kayla“How dare you make all these decisions without my consent?” I snarled, furious.Nicholas simply chuckled and approached me, lifting his hand as if to tilt my chin upward, but I dodged him, stepping back just enough to evade his touch. “Answer me.”He paused, clearly surprised, but then shrugge
Dammit, I thought as I felt my knees begin to quake. He knew exactly what he was doing, the effect it had on me. I felt powerless with his warm body towering over me.Still, I somehow managed to maintain a composed front, even forcing a mocking smile. “You think you can bully me into leaving my home
KaylaWhen I finally collected myself and walked out of the room, Ava was waiting for me, her eyes filled with concern. She immediately noticed that something was off, just like she always did.“Kayla, is everything alright?” she asked gently.I forced a smile, trying to mask the whirlwind of emotio
My legs felt unsteady, a familiar warmth spreading through me as unbidden images flashed through my mind. I hated that a part of me wondered what it would be like if there was any truth to those fabricated stories.Ava caught up with me as I reached the exit. “Are you okay?” she asked, grabbing my s
KaylaI looked around the room I had lived in for twenty-two years, and felt my heart sink. I didn’t want to leave. But I had to.Sitting at my desk one last time, I began composing a letter to the guild. I was formally requesting that Nicholas be appointed as the temporary Alpha of Bluemoon Pack. P
He was using a Mindlink to orchestrate the chaos.I narrowed my eyes. So, this wasn’t just some spontaneous uprising. It was planned. A coup.“You are unfit to take over as Alpha!” another voice rang out. “We all agree to make Mason the new Alpha!”Mason. I stored that name away for later.“You,” I
KaylaNicholas helped me into the car, then slid into the driver’s seat and put the car in drive.“So,” he began, casting a sideways glance at me, “I’ve moved out of my old place. We’ll be living in the Alpha Manor together.”I felt my heart skip a little. The Alpha Manor was where the Alpha and his
My eyes widened. “What did he find?”“It came from a guild informant,” he replied. “I need to go.”And with that, he was gone. As he left the room, I lifted my trembling hand to my fresh mark, wincing at the pain mixed with pure, unadulterated pleasure.If I had a wolf, then maybe I would be able to
KaylaNicholas stormed forward and shoved Liam aside with unprecedented force, sending Liam sprawling down the front steps. Before I could process what was happening, he signaled to the security guards. They moved swiftly, escorting Liam and Isabella off the manor grounds despite their protests.“Ni
Sadie sputtered, “This isn’t over.”I met her gaze calmly. “Yes, it is. Please leave.”She huffed but obeyed, storming out with Isabella following closely behind.Once they were gone, I let out a breath I hadn’t realized I was holding. The room felt lighter already without them in it.Later, as I se
KaylaIsabella and Sadie stared at me in shock. For a moment, the room was silent.“Why don’t you open the box now, dear?” Sadie finally said with a sweet smile.I narrowed my eyes and set the box aside. Clearly, something was indeed off here; I wasn’t being paranoid or going insane after that aphro
It was all too familiar.“I’ll make them pay,” I muttered under my breath. Memories of my mother flooded back—the same drug, the same tactics. After forcibly detoxing, her body had become weak, and she never fully recovered.Kayla stirred beside me, her hand reaching out. I took it gently.“Mommy...
Nicholas & KaylaNicholasThe effects on Kayla were immediate; I had seen this particular drug used before and could tell instantly from the sudden change in her scent and the way her pupils dilated. She turned to me and placed a hand on my chest.“Nicholas…”I cursed under my breath. Scorpio had ac
“Alpha Nicholas?” a voice called, pulling me from my thoughts.I snapped out of it and locked eyes with the elderly man in front of me. It was Alpha Alex from Darkwood Pack, also one of the presidents of the guild, Isabella’s older brother, and currently my biggest enemy.“Alex,” I acknowledged curt
Kayla & NicholasKaylaI panicked a little, standing frozen in place like a statue made of ice—and yet at the same time my face seemed like it was on fire.Nicholas simply chuckled as he turned to face me.“I know you’re not the biggest fan of public displays of affection after what your ex did to y
But then, Isabella appeared out of nowhere. She wore a sleek navy blue dress with iridescent sequins that made her look every bit the snake she was.“Vanessa is Liam’s girlfriend. I invited her,” she said with a huff. “Nicholas, don’t be so inconsiderate.”Nicholas’s eyes flicked to his stepmother.
