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
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
Kayla I blinked, momentarily stunned. Nicholas, the egotistical and self-righteous playboy Alpha… was apologizing? That was a first, maybe the first time in his entire life that he had actually apologized for anything. He stood there silently, his gaze steady but softer than usual, as he waited
Eventually, the bike began to slow down. I dared to open one eye, peeking over his shoulder. The towering structure of the guild headquarters loomed ahead. He pulled into a parking spot and cut the engine. “We’re here,” he announced. I exhaled a breath I didn’t realize I had been holding. “Thank
Kayla “Due to your lack of romantic history, Nicholas and Kayla, your application has been denied.” The elder’s cold words echoed in the room, each syllable cutting deeper into my chest. For a moment, I couldn’t breathe, couldn’t think. They were… denying my application? Over this? Then, anger
Kayla I stood outside the guild hall, staring at the car that was waiting for me at the curb. The chilly evening wind whipped at my hair, making my cheeks flush red. “Call the driver and head home now,” he had said before leaving me standing there like a forgotten date. What a gentleman. Not!
Most of all, tears streamed down her cheeks as she shook her head, her blonde hair hanging in her face. “Tell me what you know!” Nicholas barked, slamming his hand down on the table. The sound echoed like a gunshot through the hallway, making me flinch. “I-I don’t know anything,” the woman stamm
Kayla The moment I stepped through the front doors of the estate, I felt a heavy weight settle on my shoulders. My mind was still spinning, replaying everything I had just seen in that dark, suffocating basement. And it didn’t help any that I didn’t even get to come home to my own house, but rat
The sensation was indescribable—like finding a piece of myself I hadn’t known was missing, like coming home after a lifetime of wandering.I grinned up at Nicholas, feeling almost impish with the secret I’d kept for so long.His mouth hung open, shock written across his features. “You knew,” he said
Kayla“One more push!” the doctor’s voice barely registered through the haze of pain that had consumed me for the past sixteen hours. “I can see the head, Kayla. One more big push!”Nicholas gripped my hand, his other arm supporting my back as I leaned forward. I was beyond exhaustion, beyond pain,
There was Emma, fierce and loyal despite everything she’d been through, slowly healing from her injuries with her brother’s unwavering support. Marcus, who’d practically raised his sister from childhood and would do anything to protect those he cared about, including us.Noah, with his gentle demean
Kayla“She’s going to get what she deserves. Today,” Emma said, drumming her fingers against the armrest of her wheelchair. It was the third time she’d said it in the last half hour, but none of us called her on it. We were all tense.We stood outside the guild hall in a loose circle, our faces grim
“What did you do with her?”“She’s locked up in Nightshade’s prison for now,” Nicholas said grimly. “I’m going to speak to the guild to decide her fate.”I shivered. I couldn’t believe it, and yet… Somehow, I could. Because Isabella had done so much worse. This was just the cherry on top.My thought
KaylaLight filtered through my eyelids, hazy and blurred. Everything felt heavy. Sore. But alive.The first thing I saw was Nicholas hunched over me, clutching me so tightly I could barely breathe.“Kayla,” he murmured against my throat. “Kayla, please come back…”My shaky hand came up, my fingers
Across the room, Noah let out a roar of grief and anger, his fist punching through the wall with enough force to crack the plaster all the way to the ceiling. Marcus’s hands tore at his hair as he cursed violently. Emma shook in her wheelchair, silent tears streaming down her face. Grace simply star
Nicholas“Detain her!” I snarled at the nearest warriors, who were tangled with their new mates in various states of undress beneath the trees. They scrambled to their feet at my command, eyes widening as they took in Isabella writhing on the ground beneath me, her glamour spell completely faded now
“I’m here, Kayla,” she whispered. “I’ve always been here. It’s going to be okay…”Sobs tore from my throat. “I’m miscarrying, aren’t I?” I choked out, clutching her tighter. “I’m going to lose my baby.” I pulled back just enough to look into those luminous green eyes. “Please emerge before that happ
