“If you’re so concerned about Liam’s love for you,” he said coldly, “then maybe you should marry him instead.”Before I could respond, before I could explain that I only meant that maybe Liam could be trusted, at least to an extent, Nicholas was already striding toward the door.“Nicholas, wait—”Bu
KaylaI stared at the guard in shock. “I don’t need a babysitter.”“Alpha Nicholas’s orders, Luna.” The guard—a tall, broad-shouldered man with dark hair cropped close to his scalp—stood firm. “I’m to remain by your side today.”“This is ridiculous,” I muttered, running a hand through my hair. “I’m
I wanted, of course, to believe it was the latter. I trusted him. Or so I thought.Morning came too quickly and not quickly enough, and the drive to Bluemoon territory passed in a blur. I clutched the small bag containing the antidote in my palm, terrified of losing it, of dropping it, of watching i
KaylaI couldn’t believe it. After two years of sitting by his bedside, holding his lifeless hand, speaking to him without any response…My father was finally awake.A sob escaped my throat as I threw myself forward, wrapping my arms around his neck and practically crushing him against me. I buried
An uncomfortable silence fell over the room. I felt caught between the two of them, torn between my loyalty to my mate and my love for my father.Over the following days, with extensive therapy, tests, and various medications, my father and his wolf both grew stronger. He exceeded all of our expecta
KaylaI stared at my father, unable to fully comprehend what he was saying.“What are you talking about?” I asked, confused. “Nicholas saved you. He’s the reason you’re awake right now.”My father’s grip on my hands tightened. “No, Kayla. I believe he’s the reason I was poisoned in the first place.”
Nicholas had been cold, distant since the incident with Liam. But that didn’t mean he didn’t love me, did it? He had been hurt, scared for me and our baby. That wasn’t the reaction of someone who was just using me, was it?And my father… he had just woken up from a two-year coma. He was confused, di
NicholasI straightened my tie one final time as I approached the podium. The guild hall was packed with members from various packs, all eager to hear what the candidates for chairman had to say. The position William had left vacant in the wake of his timely escape—from which he had still not return
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
