-NIA’S POV-

“Stop here.” I decided to leave Julius at an intersection on the boulevard that was lined with rows of Cape Cod houses. “This spot is good.”

We hid behind a tall inkberry shrub at the side of a yellow house on a corner lot.

“Ms. Nia, my instructions were never to leave your side and keep you safe.” Julius’ eyes narrowed with concern, unwilling to disobey Lykoan's order.

“Well, too bad because your boss is not the boss of me.” I rolled my eyes and decided to explain. “We have to be careful because I have enemies here,” I replied, reaching my hands behind my perspiring neck to bundle my hair. “I want you to act as a gardener and be on the lookout.”

I twirled my strands around into a messy high bun and snatched Julius’ black cap, putting it on.

The crevice between his eyebrows deepened as he deliberated. “I'll be at the hedges. I'll make a whistle if anyone is approaching.”

“Give me half an hour.” I nodded in agreement, wiping the moisture from my brows, and parted from him,

    -NIA’S POV-Shell-shocked. My body tensed and I wanted to sink into the floor and vanish away. My nerves felt wired and uneasiness clawed inside of me.It's as though his brooding presence cast an eclipse over me. I couldn't move. I couldn't breathe. I couldn't blink.Those devilish cobalt eyes remained stubbornly on me, and oh so slowly, his lips moved, and he breathed out like he had been enduring torture. “Nia? Is that really you?”He stumbled back. Momentarily losing his balance, his body rocked by the sheer force of the sudden realization.A moment of silence ensued before I shook my head. I blinked at my worst nightmare as my mind sluggishly came to grip the god-awful reality.“Dalton?” I hissed, lowly. The name tasted like poison on my lips.The sight of him was like a sting in my chest. A deep, sharp stake, pushing right into my heart, the longer I stared at him.Panic surged through my veins, plunging me into full terror mode. I was not prepared to see him this soon. Not when

He squeezed my neck harder and his knuckles whitened.“Back away from the lady,” Julius threatened with concern in his soot-black eyes.“Are you the chivalry police?” Dalton huffed, turning his head with his dark eyes sizing up the guy standing at the threshold. “Name and purpose.”Julius replied, stoically, “I'm here to help Nia retrieve her belongings.”Dalton's eyes slung at mine with a dangerous glint in them. “You dare to bring a rogue into my pack!” He squeezed my throat aggressively, jerking me so that my head thudded against the wall.My heart shrieked, and I coughed, unable to answer.“Sir,” Julius intervened, trudging forward. “We did not come to make trouble. Nia and I will go if you could please release her.”“Who are you to talk here? Are you her new lover?” Dalton switched positions. He yanked me in front of him, arresting my upper arms to hold me hostage. “Are you the man who left these disgusting hickeys on her?”“I take

    -NIA’S POV-“You dare to assault my Lily Bud!” Lykoan roared, with a heavy and dark aura rolling around the room.Suddenly, Dalton’s fangs were ripped from my neck. They gouged pieces of my flesh, making blood gush out."You fucking bastard!" I yelled as tears escaped my eyes. The moron tried to mark me.My shoulders slumped forward in terror and I slapped a hand over the wounds. A fear of dying twisted in my throat as I panicked at trying to stop the bleeding.My heart was slamming inside my chest with a second fear for Lykoan. Despite his build being bigger than my ex’s, Dalton was a ruling Alpha with power that would outmatch Lykoan’s. I did not want to see Lykoan get the crap beat out of him.It wasn’t supposed to be this way.Forsaking a deceased Jeff, Julius rushed over to help me as I sunk to the floor, losing volumes of blood that escaped through the cracks of my fingers.Julius cursed under his breath after he knelt and removed my hand to examine the gashes. He ripped a porti

    -DALTON’S POV-“I've been mind-linking you for the past hour,” Brooke complained with a twisted scowl, meeting me at the front of the tundra-gray, neoclassical three-storey pack-house.In a split second, I shifted from my large black wolf into my naked human form to greet her with an uninterested face. “For what?’It ticked me off that she did not move to get my clothes like Nia would. Instead, she stood on the white steps with her hands folded thinking that she could demand anything from me. I passed her and entered the three-storey foyer.She stalked me. “Alpha Haynes and his daughter arrived for the meeting, and you weren't here to greet them.”My strides were long and hurried. She had to run a bit to keep up. Oh goddess, it was time to put up with her nagging again, I groaned inwardly.“I’m here now, aren't I? Why didn't you entertain him like you do with your other men?” I mumbled condescendingly, using a thumb to swipe sweat beads from my forehead. “That’s what you are good at.”

    -DALTON’S POV-Determinedly, I contacted every Alpha just to find which pack Nia was going to. They’ll ensure she suffers so that she would run back to me for protection.As the water from the shower cascaded on my head, I wondered, how long will you make me wait before you come back groveling, Nia?She added insult to the injury of my heart of hearts when she left with them. I cannot accept that.Minutes later as I got dressed in my royal blue jeans and olive green dress shirt, a timid knock came on my room door.“It’s open. Come in.” I yelled while putting on my silver wristwatch.The tracker with a two-toned ginger and white hair entered. Seeing the scowl on my face, he stopped by the door and cast his pearwood color eyes to the ground. “I’m here, Alpha.”“Nia Ravanore,” I spoke, adjusting the watch on my hand. “Do you remember her, Otis?”“Yes, Alpha.”“Why?” I growled, landing on him a cut-throat stare.It pissed me off that he knew her.

    -LYKOAN’S POV-“Are you going to snap at me all day?” I asked her in a soft voice, watching her bite into the corn on the cob while giving me a charring glare. Damn, I could burn in her fiery orange eyes and enjoy it.“I have nothing better to do since you refuse to take me to the bank to open an account.” Nia sassed, licking the baby back ribs sauce from the corner of her mouth.She was in the rottenest of moods. Something in the document bag must have upset her and she was taking it out on me. Today, her searing tongue was as hot as the blazing afternoon sun.Everyone else got her beautiful smile, except me. She thanked Julius for rescuing her, not me. Even Tank and Gawain, she inquired about this morning. I drummed my fingers on the table in agitation. Why were all these men on her mind?Shoving that aside, we were at The Agrarian Grill. It was a rooftop restaurant on the eleventh floor of the hotel and casino building. The bright space was elegantly splattered with multicolored co

    -LYKOAN’S POV-Puzzled, Nia stared at me. Her eyes pleaded for an explanation. I gazed into them, knowing very well she was playing dumb.“You know,” I growled. I didn’t want to spell it out for her. I would rather show her.It was just the multiple eyes on us that were saving her. I swear the temperature between us soared. Or did she enjoy watching me try my damndest to exercise control, knowing she had that effect on me?“Don’t try to be slick with me, Lykoan. Do you think you can trick me into your bed?” She gave me a pointed look.The unbridled heat in her red-glowing gaze threatened to burn me on the spot. It was a fire that I craved. A delectable inferno that I wanted in the worst way, even if she was not good for me. Her closeness put a fiery strike on our converging desire. Sure enough, I was in for a hell of a time in the embers, and I was counting on it.Leaning towards her, I took her hand in mine, drawing slow, feathery circles in her palm. My body tingled, and hot energy

Get it together.” My wolf chanted in my head as I wiped my eyes dry.Dalton had chosen a Luna. That raggedy asshole.Sobs overtook me, and my body shook with every gasp I breathed. Why was I upsetting myself over this? I hated Dalton, didn’t I?“Nia, it’s time to be strong. If Dalton wanted to move on. To hell with him. We must move on too.” Starr griped.To control my panting, I inhaled sharply and exhaled a few times. Guilt was trying to carve itself into my heart for lashing out at Lykoan, but my anger at Dalton wasn't allowing it to.I raked my hand through my hair as I meandered inside the large building. Having this time to myself was a cathartic release.Did Lykoan shove this horrid news in my face hoping that I’d spite Dalton and choose to be with him?“Does it matter, Nia?” Starr whined, missing her mate.“Of course, it matte

    DALTON’S POV-“Evangeline Volkes, by the will of the moon goddess, Selene, I pronounce you the new Luna of the Boulderfist Howlers Pack!” Elder Sixsmith announced with glee. “May the power of the night be with us. Let the union be the start of a stellar new life together with love to spread and power to hold.”The other Elders, in their long, gray, black, and white robes, rose from their chairs to bend in a low bow at us. They saluted in unison. “May the moon whisper her blessings on your union tonight.”Me, in a tuxedo suit of the same colors, returned an Alpha’s respect by bringing a firm fist to my chest and extending it out to them.All the wolves at the late function in the backyard of the packhouse began howling in celebration.Showing her appreciation, Evangeline turned to smile half-heartedly at the crowd. She wore the traditional gray gown with lace. It was backless with a deep V-neck, flowy style with several slits and knotted strings at the shoulders. Tiny silver floral bud

    DALTON’S POVLost in my animalistic nature, fist after fist met my naked brother's face. He laid flat on his back, and I towered over him in the nude, pounding in rage. The afternoon sun's searing streaks whipped my back like it was on Pete’s side, hot and brutal.“Stop!” Evangeline shouted, being held back by her father among the crowd in the expansive backyard of the pack house.Roughly grabbing her shoulders, Haynes swung her around to face him. He shouted angrily, “Evangeline, this is unbecoming. Control yourself!”Pack members flocked the grounds. Several Alphas, with or without their Lunas, and the Elders sat pompously on the deck to watch the challenge for the Boulderfist Howlers Alpha title.Dad and Francine were among them. The expression on my stepmother’s face was unmistakable: pure, unfiltered rage and abhorrence.Not caring for appearances, Evangeline shoved her father’s large arms from her shoulders. She ran towards me, dropping to her knees on the lawn grass, and claspe

    NIA’S POV“Nia,” Lykoan pleaded with a rise in his voice, hoping to center my focus on the present. “It's just me, baby. Talk to me."“What if you don't like what I have to say?" I inquired timidly, with fear veiling my voice.“Talk to me anyway. What did you steal?" Lykoan captured my chin between his thumb and forefinger, forcing me to look up at him.I swallowed hard, squeezing my eyes shut as if my throat was too dry to function. Here goes nothing. “Weloganite.”Lykoan released the grip on my face and went thoughtful for a second. “Aren't those the electric-powered stones Harrison has recently promoted for their power company?”Blinking at him, I nodded.Taking a deep breath, I contemplated my words carefully, aiming to convey my actions without causing misjudgment.It prompted Lykoan to gently caress my hand, offering comfort.Gathering courage, I delved into explanations. “One night, my parents went into the forest for a picnic. My Mom discovered an underground site where the we

    NIA’S POVEvery shadow and shape, every unnatural silence that chased the birds away, was that massive, silver beast. With quiet, light paws, the big, sleek Lycan prowled towards me. The muscles on his furry chest and shoulders flexed with every step he took.Crickets and toads pounced away upon sensing the vibrations of his paws, and the crescent moon above was the only light source that never ceased to illuminate the path.Vulpine and alert, he fixed his glowing pairs of sharp, carnivorous eyes on me, his ears straight up on his gigantic head, and his white nose twitched as he sniffed around my scent. The golden hairs along my spine prickled with warning.Did he spot something?I can’t let him get to it first.Suddenly, Lykoan’s gleaming wolf lay still, down on his belly on the ground of the dark forest. Distracted, Starr scrambled on top of Sultan immediately, licking his face numerous times. Hot air blustered from his nostrils when he was satisfied with her affections.Wanting to

    LYKOAN’S POVJacques’ mouth dropped in disbelief, and he picked on the tip of his nose. “You’re announcing yourself to the world?”“Nia's family,” I clipped, feeling done with this conversation.“How? She doesn't bear your mark, neither is she your mate.” Josh commented in place of his Alpha. The shot of whiskey has made him bolder towards me.“He's in love with her,” Jacques muttered like it was something that finally clicked.I shrugged.They could think whatever they want to.“She'll have to stay in Boulderfist until the trial ends. We can only keep her if she's mated to an Alpha here. Marking her is the most vital sign of that. It's the incontestable code that would make Dalton request reparations as an alternative,” T.K. declared, snatching the tumbler out of Josh’s hand and turning the glass to his mouth for a large drink.Jacques snickered at me and leaned back in his chair, diverting the topic. “Why hasn’t she shifted? Why haven’t I seen her wolf? I know she has one.”He thriv

Josh glanced up from his tablet. The device almost slipped from his hands as he jerked from fright, on the edge of his Alpha’s desk.“Morning sunshine,” Jacques snickered distastefully from his executive chair where he leaned back, pumping two dumbbells. He cocked his head to the side with brows raised, “Why the hell are you blowing a fuse?”"Get out," I snarled at the other two, whose eyes were wide with fear, as if I was death himself, and scrambled out of the room.Not going far, T.K. and Josh’s presence lingered in the passageway. Anger pulsed through my chest."Oh, for fuck's sake," Jacques rolled his eyes, tossing the dumbbells he was holding to the ground. "Is

    -NIA’S POV“You can’t do that!” I exclaimed, experiencing their devastation. A swirling coil of dread tightened at the base of my spine.Conflict raged behind Lykoan’s gaze, and I physically felt its calefaction through our bond. My chest hurt at the intensity of it, extending for several long seconds. A dangerous, electrifying tension loitered over the terrace.“Look at them.” Lykoan retorted, flicking his head at the dismayed group. “They won't have the same loyalty to me when she dies. So my verdict goes to all of them, and anyone who opposes.”Stricken, the Sigmas’ fear and desperation washed over me in waves. It tugged at my heart. The guilt that their pain was because of me. Kenzie was meddlesome, but death?I rubbed my temples.“Not my baby, please.” Lucidora wailed, struggling to catch her breath between sobs. There's a pleading quality to her voice that just gutted me. The sheer, raw emotion laced every word as she poured her heart out.Scraping a hand through the hair at the

    NIA’S POV “No, Alpha! Please!” Lucidora's desperate cry startled me, sending me into panic as I bolted down the stairs two at a time.My mind raced faster than my feet as I skidded to a halt and glanced all over the living room, dying to know what was going on, and how bad it was.“Where are they?” I panted, frantically.“The terrace,” Kourtney said, fraught with worry. She overtook me and dashed through the kitchen.My brows folded, and my jaw went slack. Bile crawled up in my throat as I remained by the doorway, taking in the scene.Out in the backyard, Lucidora and Julius were on their knees in front of the pool, whimpering in fright.Lykoan sat in a single chair around the table sheltered by the umbrella in the center. His fingers splayed on his thighs, eerily calm. He might not look ready to crack, but it unnerved me. The tension between them was laced with murderous intent.His cut-throat glare settled on Kenzie, who was also on her knees on the hot tiles in the center of the g

    NIA’S POV"Did I overdo it? I'm sorry." Lykoan's voice was dripping with guilt as he spoke the words and I internally scolded myself for not being more specific with my words. “Was I too rough?”"Oh gosh no. Nothing like that. Everything you did was...amazing.” I admitted softly. I shifted on the bed, wincing as the sheet rubbed against my tender skin. “It’s about something that happened while you went to the Trenchlands."Lykoan's head tilted to the side and he sat up. He shook his head as if he was physically trying to wake himself and become more alert, fighting off his exhaustion so he could focus on my words.He moved to a seated position, reaching down and pulling me until I was basically in his lap with a serious expression on his face."Talk to me," he said with concern in his voice that was comforting and endearing.Lykoan's muscles tense beneath me as he set up a little straighter and a deep scowl settled on his face."Who? Who fucking messed with you?" He snapped, getting w
