It is not her first time.

She lied to me.

“You have been with another,” I mumble as I pull out and rush to stand.

Rain opens her eyes and uses her hands to cover herself. “What? No. No. It’s not like that.”

I put my pants on and take out a cigarette. “Then how is it? Because I asked you if someone did anything against your will, and every time you denied it!”

Rain gets dressed. “If… if…” she breathes hard. “If I have been with another, what does it matter? You have been with others before me.”

“But I never lied to you!” I roar. She flinches. “I didn’t mean to yell… I just need a few moments to process everything.”

She stands there, looking awkwardly around. “I never meant to lie to you. I am sorry. If you want to reject me, I understand, but I want you to know that I never lied to you and… and… I love you,” she says before rushing back to the Packhouse.

I pace around smoking like crazy.

‘Why the fuck do you have to ruin everything?’

‘I didn’t ruin anything! I just need a moment to thi

    A few hours before Kevin returned to Jordan with Rain’s phoneTatiana had been so insistent that I should be patrolling the border—which I already do every single night—that I ended up running along trees and thickets that mark the end of my territory for almost twelve hours now. Usually, I would be exhausted by now, but the potions Tatiana gave me not long ago helped me sleep a few hours during the night. I forgot when I last felt so rested.I let Raven take control for a while, and I enjoy seeing the world through his eyes. His senses and night vision are much stronger than mine, and even without the light coming from the moon, he would still be able to see perfectly.Normally, Andrew, my ex, would accompany me during the patrol, but since he found his mate, I am alone. I should get used to it because I don’t plan to let another male into my life only to have my heart broken again. Conon and Conrad have tried to set me up with several single males from the pack, but I am done with d

    An IV is connected to Red’s left arm, a transparent liquid slowly flowing into her body. She is wearing one of those medical gowns that cover almost nothing, a blanket draped over her legs. Next to the bed is an Ekg heart monitor, her heartbeats showing on the screen. Her eyes are closed, and she appears to be sleeping, her breathing even. More whimpers come from her. I even think I hear her say, ‘hurts.’ “I know it hurts, but you will feel better soon.” A sob so broken comes from her, it makes my anger return with more force than before. “You are safe,” I say more for me than for her. ‘We will hunt down each and everyone responsible for her attack and… rape… and kill them.’ ‘We will,’ I promise Raven. It does not take long to see the outskirts of the village. Hector and Conon are waiting for me and… the Omega. I realize I don’t know her name. Red. I decide to call her Red—the color of her hair—until she is well enough to tell me her name. “How is she?” Hector asks. “Alive, bu

Next to the bed is an Ekg heart monitor, her heartbeats showing on the screen. Her eyes are closed, and she appears to be sleeping, her breathing even. “How is she?” I ask Hector, careful to keep my voice low, not wanting to wake her up. “She is lucky you found her in time.” Sensing that’s not what I want to know, Hector adds quickly, “The stab wounds were not deep enough to affect any vital organs, and she has no internal bleeding. I gave her two shots to speed up her healing, but even so, it might take a while. As for her rape, from what I could scent, only one male was involved.” I nod, Hector confirming my suspicions. “If you don’t mind, I will stay with her. You know that the nightmares will start soon.” Hector glances at Red. “Are you sure? She will most likely be scared of being alone in

    The anger returns, and I have to take a few deep breaths to keep myself calm. ‘Jordan Reed, what does he smell like?’ I ask Jeremy.‘Oranges.’Oranges.He is not the one that raped or beat Red, but if my nose is correct, he is the one that gave her the mark of the Betrayer. Her mate. The one who rejected her.‘Tell him there is no Omega with that name in our pack,’ I tell Jeremy.A few moments later, Jeremy mind-links me again. ‘He is adamant about searching our territory. He thinks his mate is here.’The fucker rejected her and now claims she is his mate? Where the fuck was he when she was beaten and raped? If he had loved her, he would not have rejected her, he would have taken care of her.‘His mate is not here. And he has no business stepping inside my territory, less he wants to start a fight between our packs,’ I snarl.Jeremy sighs. ‘Fine. I will make sure he stops bothering us.’‘Thanks!’Red remains in the clinic for the following three days, and my ass is glued to the chair,

    The never-ending pain in my chest prevents me from thinking or breathing or… functioning. I want this agony to end. I want to close my eyes forever. I want for one moment to forget what he had done to me. Each night, I relive the moment Jordan rejected me. My pleas to be heard are never listened to. Jordan always turns his back on me, leaving me alone in the shadows, where the monsters lurk.I step inside the shower and turn on the cold water. I feel so dirty…. The scent of the guards still clings to my skin, and I want—need—to remove it. Grabbing the soap, I start to wash myself, scrubbing my body hard to the point of pain. But no matter how much soap or water I use, I can still scent them… and it makes me gag.I close my eyes and slide down along the cold tiled wall until I am crouched down, and I hug my legs with my arms, letting the water—now freezing—cascade down my back.I see him on top of me, his weight pinning me to the ground, the guards hitting me as he….

    “Kassandra thinks it is a good idea—” Caleb stops speaking as my eyes fill with tears.“I hate picnics. And I hate you and your stupid pack! I wish you would have never found me!” I snarl, full of anger.Caleb exhales loudly. It might not be the first time I said cruel things to him.“I understand your anger, I do, Red—”“Rain. My name is Rain!” I yell. “And leave me alone already!”“We are not doing this again. You are coming outside, like it or not. If you don’t like picnics, we can do something else.”“I am tired,” I insist.“Good thing I am a strong, capable male that can carry you, Red.”I huff. “If I say yes and go out of the room, will you then leave me alone?”Caleb’s scent changes, becoming sweeter, letting me know he is happy with the idea of me going outside. “We shall see. I will let you change. Come downstairs when you are done.Caleb leaves, and I let out a big sigh. I look at the clothes and then at the door. The idea of getting dressed or going for a walk makes me so t

    The Main House—as Caleb calls it—is quiet. Maybe the pack members are at the picnic Caleb mentioned, and I don’t have to meet anyone new. Tomorrow, if I am less tired, I might consider it, but for now, Caleb is more than enough. Even talking to him becomes tedious. We make it to the kitchen without bumping into anyone. Inside, a male—probably Blade—is singing. While I am not good with music, I am sure he missed more than a few notes. Caleb brings his index finger to his mouth—I think. Understanding what he means, I nod, and Caleb slowly opens the door to the kitchen, and after a quick peek, he tiptoes inside. From the doorframe, I watch how Caleb goes to the freezer and opens it. Blade, who has his back to us, is washing some dishes and singing from the top of his lungs. I am surprised Blade hadn’t caught Caleb’s scent. Caleb turns to me, and after pointing to the sink, he makes his way there. I am waiting to see what Caleb is up to when he suddenly snatches two spoons put to dry,

    After returning to the Main House, I take a nap. The nightmares are still present, but so is the white wolf, keeping me safe from the monsters. It is dinner time when I wake up. But unlike other days, I didn’t wake up screaming this time.I am not sure if it is from all the running from earlier, but I am… hungry. I am still not ready to join the others in the dining hall though. Maybe tomorrow. Or the day after tomorrow.I get out of bed and open the door. As I suspect, Caleb is sitting in a chair by the door, working on his laptop.“What’s wrong?” he asks, looking up at me.I rub my right upper arm up and down. “I am… hungry. But I am not ready to eat with the others.”Please don’t make me join the others.Caleb’s scent tells me he is shocked, but he jumps to his feet a few seconds later. “I will bring your dinner here. Blade made lasagna. You will love it!” he says enthusiastically, placing the laptop on the chair.Then he rushes down the stairs, and I close the door. After folding

    Ever since the feral rogues tricked us into believing Caleb was dead, grief like I’ve never felt before threatened to overpower me. Katherine is the only thing that kept me sane. Along with helping Conrad take care of the pack and keeping an eye on Rain and Sky, I was exhausted at the end of the day, and by the time my head hit the pillow, I would fall into a deep sleep, only to start again the next day.Being apart from Katherine added another level of pain to my grief, but her returning the same day Tatiana let everyone know Caleb was alive still has my heart dancing with joy inside my chest. Tatiana visited the pack while Katherine and I were preparing for our date and let everyone know what had happened to Caleb. Everyone wanted to come and see with their own eyes that Caleb was alive and well, but it wasn’t possible. My arm snakes around Katherine’s waist, her slender body molding after mine. Caleb’s joke didn’t sit well with her. It doesn’t really bother me since Caleb and I a

    I chuckle. “She did. I would be dead if not for my amazing soulmate.” I look around for Red. She is behind me. It’s wrong. She should be by my side, shoulder to shoulder, heart to heart, soul to soul, as my soulmate, as my Queen, as my everything. I take her hand into mine and guide her in front of me so that everyone will know that she is the most important person present. “Tristan, this is my soulmate, Rain. And the one clinging to you is my daughter, Sky, but I have a feeling you already know this.”Tristan looks at Sky, who glances up at him with silver eyes, similar to mine. “How could I not know when she carries part of your scent? Daphne told me everything. I see Sky as my flesh and blood, but I made sure she knew who her real parents were.” This is why Sky said she wanted me as her dad the moment we met because she suspected who I was to her? ‘How could she not know when she looks like you? Except for the hair color. That one she got from Daphne.’ Now, that Raven mentioned

    Being a slave for the Cosaci Vampires reduced me to a shell of my former self. I lost count of how many times I begged all the gods and goddesses out there to let me die. The only reply I’ve ever received is silence. Even the Moon Goddess deserted me as if I wasn’t worthy of her help. In the vampire castle, I was alone in my suffering. Most of the other slaves loved to taunt me, especially the Omegas, because it granted them favors with Sinn or his monster of a mother, Queen Lamia. Not all slaves wanted to be in Sinn’s good grace. Katherine was the only one who risked her life to take mine and set me free. Not all vampires took great pleasure in tormenting me. Daphne, despite being Sinn’s sister, was nothing like her brother or mother. She was more like her brother. Like Tristan. He has been my light in my darkest moments, my friend when I needed one, the brother I always wanted. When my adoptive father sold me to the vampires, Tristan was the only one who never tried to drink m

    I follow Esyn as I try to memorize the scents of those working here. It would be so much easier if I could see their faces, but there’s no cure for face blindness. The palace is so big it feels like a maze. The entire pack could live here, and there would still be empty rooms. Caleb and Conrad should consider it. The pack would follow Caleb anywhere. It takes us several minutes to get to the Royal Wardrobe. “This is…huge,” I say as I stand in the doorframe and look at clothes displayed on mannequins. “Queen Sera loved clothes. When the place was built, King Aris requested that an entire floor be turned into a wardrobe. He wanted to fill it with all sorts of gowns he designed especially for Queen Sera,” Esyn explains. “Their love must have been something special,” I say. “It was,” Esyn agrees. A long one-shoulder lavender tulle dress catches my eye. The soft tone should look good on me. Noticing the dress I’m looking at, Esyn says, “You will look very lovely dressed in it.” I

    I let out a sigh of relief. “That room just saved my life,” I say, making Caleb laugh softly. “There’s something I wanted to ask you. You mentioned a vampire, K. Do you think he is Kain?” Caleb falls silent while he thinks. “I think he is,” he finally replies. How could Kain have ended up as a slave in another realm? Wasn’t he going to find his mate, Elly? “Your friend, Voros, got Kain out, right?” I ask, concerned about Kain.Caleb’s scent changes again, this time to shock. “Voros. How could I have forgotten about him?” he wonders. “Yes. By now, Voros and Kain should be far from the Nether Realm.” “Good. Good,” murmurs slip past my lips. “We should find out what happened to them.” “If everything went according to plan, Voros and Kain are in the Ruby Realm, home to the Dacian Vampires.” My hands slide to Caleb’s chest, and I tap it with my right forefinger. “Unknowingly, you might have secured your friendship with the Dacian Vampires. You also count on the help of the Druid Witch

    Despite going through so much, Caleb’s endurance and resilience are beyond anything I’ve ever seen. He is not only the male fated to me and the one I trust completely, but he’s also my hero. Everything that had happened to him made him into who he is today.I’m determined to prove, not only to him but to myself as well, that we are meant to be together not because the Moon Goddess decided so or because of the love and friendship that binds our hearts together but because we are equals. There’s so much I need to learn about the Diamond Realm. As the future Queen of this nation, I must give my all. My stomach churns as I think of all the implications that come with such a title. I don’t know how Caleb can be calm about it. Safia suggests that maybe he had some time to get used to the idea.I chew my bottom lip before I reply to Caleb’s question. He won’t like my reply, but he deserves the truth. “The pack is fine. We had some problems a while ago, but nothing we couldn’t handle. Conr

    My hand stills on Red’s back as I reminisce about the past. When I fall silent as I remember my fight with the one trapped in the sword, my soulmate and love of my life says, “You won the right to use the Sword of Nightmares from the god trapped in the blade.” She has no idea how right she is about that.“Something along those lines.” It’s too complicated to explain what happened after I was absorbed in the sword. To be frank, I don’t think I understand everything myself, but Red is right, I was given the right to use it. “What happened after?” she asks. I drag the loofah sponge across her back, my gaze on her tattoo, wondering why it appeared on her skin, and say, “I think you already know. Not long after I pulled out the sword and knew without a shadow of a doubt that I was the heir to the throne and a descendant of Queen Sera and King Aris, I saw you fighting with…” A crease forms between my brows as I fall silent, thinking of the day I first saw Red in the Diamond Realm. “My

    Each week, there’s a different test, each one harder than the next; more contestants fail them. Fortunately, just as the doctor predicted, I made a full recovery from the silver poisoning. My biggest opponent is the one with the green mask. So far, he’s the judges’ favorite. I prefer not to draw attention to myself, so I can sit in the back and observe all the contestants and learn their weaknesses and strengths. From what Elton told me, the last task involves fighting the remaining contestants, and the last male standing will be the regent. Elton slowly wins my trust and over time, we become friends. After six weeks of entering the Games, after a very difficult test, Elton approaches me. “Sir Colt, I was wondering about your wolf. What color is he?” His question takes me by surprise, and I reply with another question, “Why do you ask?” Elton looks right and left, making sure no one is listening to our conversation. When it’s more than clear that the only ones left in the arena a

    After entering the competition for the next Regent of the Diamond Realm, I spend my time either dreaming about the female with red hair, reading in the Royal Library, or roaming the palace, learning its secrets while I wait for the first task to begin. The tension in the air is high, as each person in the race to become the next regent thinks they deserve to win the Games. It will be fun to see them lose one by one.A week after the Games officially started, the first task takes place—the contestants are tested to see how much they know about the Diamond Realm. A good regent knows the history of this place so he won’t make the same mistakes as his predecessors. Passing the test is more challenging than I thought, testing my knowledge to the fullest. Spending most of my time in the library paid off as I answered most of the questions correctly. Out of fifty contestants, seven fail to answer the minimum number of questions and are sent home. The rest of us pass to the next phase of t
