I felt no pain, and it was strange; I had just been shot, right?

There was a loud thud as a body fell right beside me.

During their little arguments, someone had walked in; they hadn't been quick enough to notice it. But it was the last person I expected to see.

Beatrix.

Behind her, Thane and Axel walked in; their eyes were coal black, and their gaze never met mine, but I could see the anger and fury in them.

"Axel, take her away," Thane ordered, and Axel finally turned to me; he picked me up easily and led me away from our room.

I couldn't believe it; I was safe.

~~

Axel walked into a very unfamiliar room, and there was a maid there tidying up the space.

"You. Get out," he says. I had never heard Axel sound so furious, and I had to remind myself that Axel couldn't hurt me.

The maid scurried away as he placed me on the bed.

His gaze swept down my body, he slightly lifted my gown, and his hands grazed down my body, checking for injuries.

"What did they do to you? Are you hurt?"

"No, I

    Where was he? Where was Thane.The whole hall grew silent, and I noticed why, he just walked in. He was shirtless, only in a pair of torn-up jeans; he hadn’t bothered about washing off the blood of the men he had beaten up and killed; his body was covered in blood, and a cold shiver walked it way down my spine. His eyes were cold and empty; he didn’t look up to me once.“Let it be known to everyone that disobeys me; let it be known to the few rebellious amongst you, that if anyone goes against my Luna, then be ready to face death,” he says, his voice harsh and low, but it could be heard clearly even from where I sat.One of the soldiers walked forward, handing him a sword. It seemed heavy, I could tell, but the blade was so sharp it reflected.“That’s silver steel,” Axel said to me, and I gasped.Thane held it, and the crowd watched in anticipation; some even had smiles on their faces. How could they find joy in a thing like this? My question goes unanswered, maybe because I already k

    I woke up in a dark, unfamiliar room. The first thing I noticed was that I had been tied to a bed. The place smelled familiar, but I couldn’t place it all. I tried clearing off my foggy mind and remembering all that had happened and why I was here, the harsh memories flooded in—the blood, the brutality, the danger. It all flooded back in.Where was I?There was a figure in the darkness; I could tell. The room was dark, but there was a dim light illuminating the wide space.“Who is there?” I questioned, and the figure walked closer, close enough that I could see all his features and every single detail of his body. The blood wasn’t there anymore, but that didn’t make him any less scary. Thane stood before me, his eyes still those dark orbs they had been in the judgment room. Was he going to harm me? There was another figure seated on the couch, one I didn’t notice earlier. Axel.“Where am I?”“Where do you think?”“Let me go.”"No,” Thane responded.“How could you do that to them?”“Th

    I was fifty shades of freaking red.Axel was gentle; the movement of his hands around my clit was just as gentle. I didn’t want to think about what was happening, how close he was, or what he was doing to me.And he watched me squirm beneath his gentle touch. I let out a silent gasp when his lips circled around my aching nipple.A moan left my lips. Axel: I had cried out his name; how could this feel all wrong and yet so right?Two fingers dipped into me, and I moaned louder, struggling against the bind, riding my hips against his fingers, chasing his thrust. Axel watched my body; he watched the effect of what he did to me and how my heat pooled around his fingers, taking him in, and then he was out of me.I couldn’t imagine how lost I had been. My gaze travelled back to Thane, who watched me greedily. The lust darkened his eyes. What type of bond did Thane share with Axel? Axel held something in his hands: two dark-coloured balls, with a string connecting both of them.“Look at him,

    I must have blacked out at some point, because I was back in our room and I didn’t recall walking my way here.I felt numb down there; I was sore too, and I wasn’t alone. Axel sat there, staring at me. I looked away almost immediately. I was finally clear of the high I felt and now I was totally red, and my mind wouldn’t stop replaying all that had happened—how he had touched me everywhere.“How are you feeling?” he asked, his eyes never leaving mine.“I’m fine—well, not fine considering I can’t walk—but...” I rambled on.His chuckle gave me a pause, and I swallowed nervously. Could the earth just swallow me already?“I guess you are still surprised.” he questioned. Surprise was not quite the word.“It did feel surreal,” I admitted. “Please don’t tell me to look you in the eyes; I can’t handle that now,” I admitted, knowing he was about to say that. Axel loved seeing me embarrassed.“It was a surreal moment for me too,” Axel says.“Is this normal? I mean you two...” I couldn’t say th

    “Thane is on his way here; I should leave,” Axel said to me. I wasn’t expecting Thane; it was nowhere close to the time of his usual return. But just as Axel had said, Thane walked in.“How is she?” he asked Axel, shrugging off his suit as if I were not in the room.“She just needs more rest,” Axel said, and I felt like there was some hidden message he was trying to pass on to Thane that I wasn’t getting.“I don’t need any more rest; I've been sleeping for hours,” I piped in, and Thane smirked at that.Axel stood, leaving us alone. It was strange that being alone with Thane was just scarier.“You let Axel have sex with me?” It was more of a statement than a question.“Yes, does it bother you?” He asked, watching me. “You seem close to him, and he would never hurt you,” Thane said, joining me on the bed.Does it bother me? The weirdness of it all bothers me, but apart from that, did it really bother me? , No, not really."Is just... some Alpha wolves get possessive, and others...”“Der

    The dress Thane had picked out for me wasn’t that bad. Though it revealed my back and threatened to go lower, the front was decent enough, exposing a little of my cleavage. The green dress had two slender straps and a deep slit. It was beautiful.Thane walked in, already fully dressed; of course, he didn’t need much to look as spectacular as he did now."Sit,” he says, pointing at the chair, and I take my seat, knowing if I don't, there will be consequences.He selected a large diamond necklace with matching earrings, and he put them on me. I didn’t miss his hands lingering on my neck longer than supposed. But he hadn’t stopped there; he had proceeded with my hair. It was indeed a surprise; one would never expect a man like Thane to have the patience required to learn hair styling.“How did you learn how to do this?” I asked, staring at the mirror. My hair was in an updo, and I was sure I had never looked this beautiful.“I did this for my mother a few times,” he admitted, but there w

    Alpha Slade and his mate’s seats remained empty.“I need to go to the restroom” I said to Thane.“Axel can go with you.”“I can go on my own,” I say, my cheeks reddening. I didn’t think he should worry about any attack, not after the example he had set for the others. I noticed how the other pack members seemed to keep a good distance from me; they were all afraid of coming too close and I couldn’t blame them.Thane wasn’t happy about my choice, and I was very sure he would come looking for me if I took more than a few minutes. But I wasn’t planning on returning; after all that happened today, I just needed to go back to the room and shut everyone else out.It was only going to be six months. I reminded myself.I knew the way back to our room, and I had made sure to study the routes we had followed when coming here, I wasn’t about to get lost again.I exited the hall, very aware of the stares boring into me."Luna,” a female who had been leaning against the wall, called; of course, it

    “How dare you disrespect me?” Slade roars, “I put a roof over your head and food in your fucking mouth. I bought you all you need, and this is how you repay me, bitch! You disrespect me!”Slade lifted the whip again, but this time I dove before Freya. He had seen me; he knew I walked in; he could have stopped the whip from hitting me, but there was a curve on his lips as the whip landed against my waist, circling itself up my ribs, very close to my cleavage. The pain was unlike any I had ever seen, and I fell to the ground, letting out a loud cry, my hands wrapping around my abdomen.Just then, he walked in.I could tell it was Thane even before the deep ear-splitting roar escaped his lips.I looked up just in time to see Thane collide against his father. Slade hadn’t been expecting the attack. Thane’s claw slashed into his father’s neck.He was vibrating, almost like he couldn’t stand on his feet, and then he switched into his wolf form. Slade was quick to switch, too. But I could te

    "You can open your eyes now," he assured me.But my eyes were squeezed shut, and I wasn’t sure I could open them even if I tried. It took a full minute before I finally managed to pry them open—and to my surprise, we were standing right in front of the familiar building, the one I now saw as home.“How…” I trailed off. I knew just how we got here. He ran.Daemon took me inside, straight up to his room, before placing me down on his bed. “Who were those people after you?”“My people.” He answered.“If they are your people, they shouldn’t be a threat, right?”He regarded me again. "The deal was for me to kill you—that was the agreement. But now, you're under my roof, and I can't go through with it. They feel betrayed, disappointed. And if given the chance, they wouldn’t hesitate to kill you."He took a strand of my silver hair between his fingers, his touch lingering. "I won’t let them hurt you," he promised.“Thank you,” I said.“For what?”"For letting me glimpse the human world, for

    ALIYA’S POVI caught the tension in his eyes. He didn’t have to say a word—I could tell something was very wrong. Daemon was rarely unsettled, and if this was enough to shake him, it had to be serious."What is wrong?" I asked.His gaze, slightly unfocused, finally settled on me. After I had brought up his past lover and he had left—supposedly to get me ‘food,’ though I knew it was really to avoid the conversation—I hadn’t seen him for the next three hours. He could have easily called for room service, so I couldn’t help but wonder if ‘getting food’ should really take that long."We need to leave now.""What?"He said nothing more, simply dropping the clothes in front of me. They were new."What is going on, Daemon?""They're here," he said, his gaze locking onto mine. I was completely naked beneath the blanket; the clothes I had been wearing were in shreds. He took off the blanket slowly; a part of me still felt the need to hide my nudity from him, even if he had seen me naked more t

    We were both in tears, but there was something about the way he looked—so vulnerable, so helpless, so pained. I couldn’t bear to watch; I looked away."I don’t deserve your forgiveness, but I’m so fucking sorry. I told her—I told her that no matter what, I would never hurt you, even if it meant choosing between my sister and you.My sister could be dead for all I knew. But every time I felt like I had already done too much wrong, I told myself—what was one more bad deed to add to the cart? Your father had been like a father to me—that’s how he so easily picked up on the fact that something was wrong. He tried to talk to me about it, and I felt so guilty. But you have to understand—one way or another, Cynthia would have killed him. She was never going to let him live."“That doesn’t make you any less of a murderer. That doesn’t make you any less of a criminal.You know, I had thought of all the things I could do to you—all the ways I could kill you slowly and painfully. But now that I’

    Chaos erupted—people spoke over one another, everyone desperate to be heard."Enough," I snarled. “You bicker like children. I am not for one side or the other—this pack is one, and everyone will be treated equally. You’re right that I don’t deserve this position, but…” I paused, weighing my next words. “The Alpha will return” I assured them. Keith spat on the ground. "That's a lie, and you know it. You did something to him, and he's not coming back."I couldn’t hold it in anymore. “I did what I did to help him!” I hated the fact that I lost it, but I felt the need to let them know. “I love him, and I will never stop loving him.”“And yet here you are, taking his title and taking over his pack. You didn’t do this for love, but greed—greed for power. What you fail to realize is that you might claim the title as yours, but loyalty and respect are not passed down; they’re earned.” Keith finished; with one cold glance at me, he turned around and walked away. Many others followed.“You ca

    KADIA’S POVThe whole pack had gathered before me—some drawn by curiosity, others eager to know what would happen next.I looked upon the faces of those I had to protect, their lives resting in my hands. One wrong decision, and they would all suffer. I couldn’t let that happen.Austin and Phil sat on either side of me, on the platform overlooking the pack members.After the incident with Sarah, her body had been disposed of. I supposed I should feel bad that she hadn’t been given a proper burial, but I couldn’t bring myself to. She was a traitor, and she had died a traitor. News of her betrayal had spread through the pack, giving people even more to gossip about. Aric deserved the same fate. I should have killed him—made his death slow and painful. I might have once considered Sarah a friend, but Aric… I had seen him as family. His betrayal cut the deepest, yet I couldn’t bring myself to expose his treachery—not until I heard everything he had to say. For now, he rotted in the cold, d

    I awoke in bed, wrapped in a blanket—but beneath it, I was completely naked. Daemon lay beside me.“I’m sorry.” He said, “I lost control.”I recalled passing out and couldn’t help but feel embarrassed. “That wasn’t on you. It was my fault.”“Not really. You passed out from blood loss. I should have fed before, but I had never tasted any blood as sweet as yours,” he said.“That feels and sounds like a compliment.”A small smile played on his lips. “Now, everything else tastes like dirt.”“You’re always welcome to drink from me.”“No. I’m not putting you through that.”I reached for my neck, and the bruise from his fangs was almost completely gone. “How…?”“You don’t have to worry about that,” he said.I nodded, rising from the bed.“You shouldn’t…”I didn’t listen. The moment my feet touched the floor, my legs gave out. He caught me instantly and placed me back on the bed.“You are severely sore.” He said, and I could almost see the guilt in his eyes. Not many things made him feel guil

    I stood there for a moment, watching him, aware of every inch between us.I stepped closer. "Daem—Trian, I..." The words wouldn’t come. I wasn’t sure if I was afraid of saying them or if I simply didn’t know how. So instead, I rose onto my tiptoes, reaching for him. But he was too tall, and my lips only grazed his jaw.I lingered, searching his face, hoping he would understand what I couldn’t say.“For a demon, you have a surprising amount of self-control.""Every moment with you pushes me closer to losing it.""Then why didn’t you? Why didn’t you make a move?""After what I did to you, I have no right to touch you."I watched his fangs as he spoke, then lifted my gaze to meet his. Once again, he knew exactly what I wanted. He bared his fangs, allowing me to touch them. Their tips were so sharp that with just a little more pressure, they could have easily pierced my finger. Like everything about him, his fangs were both beautiful and terrifying—they scared me just as much as they amaz

    On our way out, more women stared. It was getting unnerving—I wanted to snap at them.I was tempted to show them he was mine by wrapping my arms around his torso, but I wasn’t sure he would like that. He had never been one for such close contact, so I kept my hands to myself. But as if he could read my mind, he wrapped his arm around me—possessively.I stared up at him in surprise."I’m on my best behavior, but if those guys don’t stop undressing you with their eyes, I might have to reconsider," he said. I followed his line of sight, and sure enough, about five guys stood there, watching me. The moment Daemon’s gaze fell on them, they quickly walked away.“You don’t seem to be noticing how almost every female in the building is checking you out.” I said, and his eyes met mine again, making me realize that he truly hadn’t noticed them. How was that even possible? Some had walked past him multiple times just to get a single look from him, I couldn’t help but feel a little sympathy for t

    I had never seen anything like this place; it felt more… alive. This had been all I wanted, and here I was. Free of the castle and out in the open. The world was far bigger than I could ever know—far more diverse too. I didn’t realize I was smiling until I noticed his eyes on me. His attention was no longer on the road ahead of us. "It's beautiful," I said after a moment.“I would have done this sooner if I knew how happy it would make you.”"Daemon, thank you for doing this," I said, and for a moment, our eyes locked. I reddened and looked away. "Where are we going?" I asked to fill the silence."To watch a movie. It’s a rewrite of Romeo and Juliet," he said.For some reason, I couldn’t help but laugh."What?" he questioned."Who would have thought? The Demon Overlord watches movies.""I like to see myself as a normal person at times.""But there is nothing normal about you.""I've been good since we arrived here. That should win me some points in normality, shouldn't it?"“Yes, I gu
