His body stilled immediately as if I had hit him. I didn't even see his face when he abruptly detached from me and left the room without giving me another glance.
Turning towards my bed, I buried my face in the pillow, tears soaking the fabric as my body shook with sobs.

"Milli, you're mated to Kai?" My uncle's voice echoed in my ears, a mix of surprise and concern evident in his tone. It brought back a sense of nostalgia but he was too far away for me to hug him
I mustered a faint smile, attempting to infuse some cheerfulness into my voice. "Yes, Uncle. I didn't want to bother you while you were busy with the investigation. I'm sorry I couldn't let you know earlier."
His voice held a note of caution. "Are you doing
I wiped the blood from my nose as he picked up the call immediately."Daisy?"The voice on the other end spoke for a few minutes. His face grew paler with each passing second as he ended the call, then immediately rushed to his room."Ares!" I called after him multiple times, but he was already gone without even a glance in my direction.Struggling to my feet, I managed to get up. Soon after, Ares descended the stairs with a bag in his hands and hurriedly left the pack house. His face was ashen, as if he'd seen a ghost.I wasn't sure what was happening or what news he had received, but one thing was crystal clear: Daisy would always be his top priority, eve
~Milli~The world spun around me in a whirl of chaos."Uncle… please… Wake up!" My voice trembled as I struggled against the grip that was crushing my neck.Panic clawed at my chest as his hold tightened, making it hard to breathe. His eyes blazed with a furious red, like he was trapped in a nightmare he couldn't escape. Those burning eyes felt like they were seeing right through me, as if he saw a stranger in my place.Blackness edged my vision, my strength waning. His grip was a vise, threatening to snap my neck any moment. Just as I teetered on the edge of losing consciousness, Marcus appeared out of nowhere. With a swift move, he wrapped his arms around my uncle's neck and yanked him ba
Prologue All I could smell was the scent of sex. Everywhere I looked, bodies twisted and writhed in pleasure, moans filling the air. Heart pounding, I ran, the sound of footsteps growing closer, chasing me. The trees came alive, their branches resembling snakes, swiftly closing in on me. One branch ensnared my leg, coiling around me, rendering me motionless as I fell into the mud. I tried to scream, but no sound escaped my lips… Then, a soft touch wrapped around my waist, a whisper brushed against my ear. "You shouldn't have run." I turned my head, locking eyes with Marcus. Another hand grasped my face, turning it towards an angelic face I couldn't forget. "Choose me," he murmured, his lips hovering inches away from mine. “She is mine." Derek's voice cut through the air as he positioned himself between my legs, his lips tracing a path up my inner thigh, inching closer. I trembled, my breath catching, anticipation coursing through my veins. Before I could react, another fa
Holy. Fucking. Shit. When he pulled back, I stared at him, gobsmacked. This was not normal ‘alpha- member’ behaviour. What in the holy hell was going on? I didn’t have to wait long. He told it to me straight out. Too bluntly for my little brain to grasp at once. “I want you to sleep with me as payback.” I stared at him. My mouth hanging open in a shocking silence. Holy mother shitballs. Eventually, I managed to whisper, “You must have lost your mind.” He kept staring at me, wordless. His hand went into my hair and with a gentle pull he tilted my head back again. “You are not serious! You can’t do this to me! We are not doing that!” “Why not?” He was calm as a peach, one of his hands was tangled in my hair and the other arm was wrapped around my waist. His hand rested on my waist like we did little flirtings before bed every night of our lives. “I am not attracted to you. You are more like an older brother to me.” “Is that why you took half naked, almost inappropriate ph
I realised I was in trouble at that point, and a sense of panic washed over me. Tremors ran through my body as I cautiously shifted my gaze, trying to avoid direct eye contact with him. Instead, my eyes drifted past him, landing on the intimidating figures standing behind him. Alpha Ares, tall and imposing, leaned casually against the wall, his strong frame supported by the unyielding surface. The two other men that stood next to him, dressed in sleek, all-black clothes, had their eyes pinned to me. My attention was immediately drawn to the first man’s mesmerising green eyes and the intricate tattoo that adorned his muscular arms. His long hair cascaded over his shoulders, adding to his enigmatic appeal. Derek Ray. There was a smirk on his face. After all, he was the first one who had branded me as a ‘stalker’ and now he was probably smacking a ‘see, I was absolutely right’ across my face with his eyes. Standing next to him was a man with a thin but very visible scar across hi
Marcus and I appeared on the screen. And then the video cut to him slapping the plate across my face. The video played on a loop, mocking me for challenging an alpha like a damn fool. His cruel words echoed through the hall, seeping into my very core once again. My legs shook beneath me, and I could feel the weight of humiliation settling upon me once again. I had barely set foot in this pack, and already I had become a target for mockery. My heart pounded so hard that I got dizzy. The anxiety, the panic taking over my senses. He had to do it to show me who ruled? To show me that I should know my place and never challenge him…? That fucking bastard. That god damn bastard! My fingers clenched around the railing of the stairs, my vision getting blurred with fury. He had the audacity to humiliate me, to dump food on my face. He didn’t even know me, yet he acted as if he had the right to control me. He had no right! I stormed right inside the pack hall, my entire body shaking
I left the hospital room and returned to my own bedroom. First, I called Uncle Hector and Nyx one after the other, informing them that I was out of danger and shared the details of my punishment. The next day, I had devised a plan to attend all my classes, using them as an excuse to spend at least twelve hours of the day away from Alpha Marcus. And after that, it is going to be what? Like four hours when he asks me to do random shit for him? That was okay. I could tolerate three hours for two weeks. So, happy as a button, I walked to my first class with a spring in my step. And then that happiness went poof in the air the very second I entered the classroom. Alpha Marcus stood before me with his hands in his packets, his hips leaning against the table. And there were whispers echoing in the entire hall by the shell shocked boys and girls who had never even got to see him face to face ever before, let alone in their classroom so closely. Marcus's head turned in my direction the
“Aw… ahh…..” I flinched and then whimpered, trying to push him away. But he grabbed the other side of my throat with his palm, restricting my movement, and licked over the spot with his tongue, soothing the burn. He then bit that spot again. “Goddd…” I whimpered again, my voice shaking terribly, but he rolled his tongue on the skin before pulling back from me. With a gaze filled with pride, he stared at the spot he had bitten with his teeth. His eyes then met mine again, his tongue licking his lips with a starved look in his eyes. I gulped hard, trying to shake off the cloud he had cast over me. It felt almost impossible to regain my composure, but I gathered my resolve and shook my head at him, pushing against his presence. "Back off now. Enough," I whispered, my voice hoarse and trembling. He did step back, but his heated gaze remained locked onto me. Leaning against the edge of the table with his hip, he crossed his arms over his chest. I slid down from the table on my shaky

In front of me stood five men, accompanied by two large, wild-looking wolves with patches of black fur. Their clothes were tattered, washed out, and full of holes.…Rogues?I swallowed hard, shuffling back on the ground, my instinct urging me to flee from them as soon as I could. The men stared at me as if I were their next meal. The wolves were thin, but four times larger than any wolf I had seen in my life. Their gazes dripped with bloodthirst/The one who had grabbed my hair was the largest among them.My heart raced even faster, but then one of the wolves lunged at me.It tore off my top, leaving me in my bra. "No, back off!" I screamed trying to fight off the wolf as its claws scratched my skin.
I entered the pack hall the following day. Thankfully, Kai hadn't returned to the bedroom the previous night. Despite my fear, I struggled to fall asleep until the early morning hours, constantly on edge, fearing his arrival at any moment. The lack of sleep weighed heavily on me as I made my way to the hall. Upon arriving, I noticed that everyone had already finished breakfast. Silently, I ate my own meal while overhearing hushed conversations and glances directed my way."Hey," a gentle voice caught me off guard from behind. Startled, I looked up and saw Ares standing before me.I stood up, the sudden movement making me feel dizzy. Ares swiftly steadied me, preventing me from collapsing, and helped me back into my seat.Taking a place in the chair next to me, he faced me directly. "Are you feeling better now?""Somewhat," I whispered, my voice barely audible, unable to speak in a loud voice without feeling a throbbing ache in my head.”"You turned out to be Kai's mate," he remarked
~Milli~An unfamiliar sensation surged through my veins, jolting me awake. Gasping for air, I blinked my eyes open to a world of disorientation. My breath came in heavy bursts as a searing pain coursed through my neck, a painful trail that seemed to burst my veins.With an instinctual grip, I clutched onto the shoulders of the man who was biting my neck, pushing him away.My eyes widened as I realized it was Kai."What are you..." My voice trembled, my mind struggling to form coherent words.Relief washed over his face, transforming his features into a happy smile. His hand cupped my face, "You're awake? Oh, thank the gods, you're awake!"
~Marcus~ The fire that surged within me as I watched Ares stroll out of the pack house hand in hand with Milli was blinding. My grip on the vodka bottle tightened as I snatched it off the counter, downing its contents in a single gulp. Just as I moved to follow them, Derek stepped in front of me, blocking my path. "Marcus, this event's far from over. There are still hours ahead. Keep your wits about you." "Step the hell aside," I growled, the sight of him igniting an indescribable rage within me. He had the audacity to kiss Sunshine, even though he damn well knew she belonged to me. I shoved him away and caught a glimpse of Ares and Milli vanishing through the doorway. Clamping my jaw, I yanked my phone out and fired off a message - 'Blacklist: Milli Jane.' I stormed out of the damn house. "You finally witnessed that bitch's true colors?" Kai drawled, leaning against the pillar outside, another bottle of whiskey dangling from his fingers. He moved toward me, blocking my path,
As I stepped out of Derek's car, my mind began to clear and the haze of the drinks dissipated. Nervousness and tension gripped each of my steps as I entered the pack house, which was now abuzz with people dressed in elegant attire, a stark contrast to my own appearance. As soon as I walked in, my gaze met Marcus' intense eyes, fixed right in the center of the hall."Are you planning to stand by the entrance all night?" Derek's voice whispered beside my ear, making me flinch.I quickly moved forward, reaching Marcus. He had been drinking heavily. I could smell it from where I stood.His jaw was tightly clenched, eyes burning through me. The moment I came to stand in front of him, he asked,"You kissed Derek?"
I quickly averted my eyes."What's that?" I pointed. It looked like something out of a fairytale, a princess's grand display with a large stage in the middle.There were young girls and boys standing around, grinning, holding hands.Nyx's lips curled into a mischievous grin."Tell me the truth, not your version," I warned.She rolled her eyes with a dramatic sigh. "Gosh, you're always on to me. How do you know I was going to lie?""You get that evil gleam in your eyes, the one that gives me shivers.”"Fine," she huffed, "It's t
