KaylaNicholas walked into the room and closed the door behind him. I stared at him as he entered, not moving from where I was perched on the bed.He sauntered over and sat beside me, the mattress dipping slightly under his weight. His proximity made my jaw instinctively tighten, and I looked down,
A hint of amusement flashed in his eyes. He reached over, placing his hand beneath my chin and turning my face to meet his.“I’m very sure that day will come. I believe in you, Kayla.”My face warmed at his unexpected support. Nicholas always managed to annoy me, and yet somehow he gave me the suppo
KaylaThe table was silent. All eyes turned to Nicholas, waiting for him to confirm my little story. I sipped my wine and eyed him mischievously over the rim of my glass, thoroughly enjoying his tension.Serves him right, I thought wryly, trying not to laugh out loud. That’s what he gets for… well,
Once I was back in my room, I stretched and felt some of my negative mood dissipate. I changed into comfortable sleepwear, the silky fabric cool against my skin. It had been a long and tiring day, but at least I had managed to get a little revenge against two men who drove me utterly insane.Not to
KaylaToday was my first party as Luna.Right now, I was standing beside Nicholas, greeting every guest that walked through the grand entrance of the Alpha Manor. The chandeliers above cast a warm glow on the polished marble floors, and the air was thick and heady with the scent of expensive perfume
His eyes narrowed dangerously. He leaned down and whispered in my ear, his voice smooth like a brush of velvet against my skin. “Promise to be a good girl first.”I had to admit, his words did stir something in me, a heat that spread from my core outward. My knees wobbled a little, and I felt my thr
KaylaI really couldn’t believe Vanessa still had the nerve to come to my party, after all she had done.She used to be my friend. My best friend. My only friend. And then she had slept with my fiance, on our wedding day no less.Even looking at her now, all I could see was her bridesmaid dress pull
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.
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
