Chase POVI visited those in service to me almost hourly, but Kiera still hadn't woken. Our doctor assured me she just needed rest, but I needed to see her face.After two days, I heard movement in her room, and my eyes were fixed on her door. I held my breath, eagerly anticipating her to open it. Finally, my goddess emerged, and I knew I'd never tire of witnessing her face or hearing her voice.Despite her lingering fatigue, she appeared stronger than when she first arrived. The desire to retaliate against those who harmed her overwhelmed me. Loki was keen on seeking vengeance, but my resilient fire pixie had already defended herself.As she began speaking, her anger was evident. My insides churned, witnessing the intensity of her emotions. I found myself drawn to the dark scowl she cast my way, captivated by the attitude emanating from her sharp tongue.I couldn't be an idiot and completely ignore the glaring facts. It was no coincidence that Jackson was nowhere to be found, and the
Kiera POV Evie materialized, shooting me a sharp look that signaled I needed to fall in line. Along the corridor, about fifty women, including some older children, formed a silent assembly against the walls outside our rooms. The air was tense with an unspoken energy.Evie, visibly in a foul mood and I had no idea why. I was certain it had something to do with me though, and I found myself uncaring. I moved through a sea of women, their collective disdain palpable. I brushed off their cold glares, each one laden with resentment. These women were prisoners of Chase's, yet a peculiar admiration seemed to underlie their situation.Despite their apparent satisfaction, I held no respect for any of them, unable to fathom finding solace in captivity."Alpha Chase wants the grand hall cleaned. Top to bottom, ceiling and all. I suggest you ladies figure out a way to appease your Alpha going forward, or your days will be filled with making this mansion spotless," Evie warned us. She then turn
Drake POVUpon returning from the South, I retreated to my small cottage I built in the forest when my brothers and I renovated our pack house ten years ago.Each of us designed our section to our liking—mine, a medieval haven with dark colors and magic; Chase's, a sporty, bright space; and River's, a sophisticated area filled with antiques and gold.My largest room in the packhouse was the library. I read at least a book a day. Not those stupid fictional tales, but stories of our past. Legends and myths that people before us claim to be true. There was an insatiable need within me to grasp our history, as if it held the key to my future.The day I discovered my childhood girlfriend, Jasmine, betrayed me, I plunged into the depths of the past. I sought to unravel the mysteries of the dark forest's magic, understand the motivations behind heinous acts driven by the thirst for power, and uncover answers about my mother and sisters. In this pursuit, I lost touch with my current life and
Chase POVI returned down the hall, eager to find my fierce mate. The way she confronted Dex had stirred excitement within me. Entering the kitchen, I discovered her outside, locked in combat with three women. Grabbing a can of soda, I sat back, keen to witness the next move of my captivating pixie."You need to get in line!" Maggie lightly pushed Kiera in the shoulder. Maggie was a fellow southerner from an auction house we raided and currently part of my service, soon to be part of my pack."Or what?" Kiera shouted back. "I'd rather die than submit to the North!""You might have been showered with love and luxury in the South, but most of us weren't. Are you that selfish to ruin this for all of us?" Maggie shouted at her. She was a short woman with brown hair and fierce eyes of a Delta. She didn't take any shit, not even from my fire pixie. I wouldn't let it go too far, but I was curious how Kiera would handle this situation. She was a natural Luna and destined to handle three powe
Drake POV"You want to die!" I bellowed, watching as she expelled a gruesome mix of water, blood, and silver at my feet. Anger surged within me; the notion that she would embrace death seemed utterly senseless."I am dying! What do you care anyways? I'm nothing without Athena! I'm nothing!" She retorted, weakly pushing at my chest. Her defeated words cut through the air. Yet, she wasn't nothing; she was everything, and it was time she grasped that truth. Determined, I seized her arm and led her outside."Get off me! I hate all of you arrogant bastards!" Her screams and punches echoed, a cacophony of frustration.Arriving at my secluded cottage, a refuge from prying eyes, I forcefully placed her on the ground, standing tall with my wolf forward."Do you think you're too weak to survive by yourself?""I am weak." Her voice trembled, a delicate tone of vulnerability. "This damn bracelet is killing me, stripping away my wolf and making me vomit every few hours. I can't heal, I can't fight
Chase POV"What little game are you two playing?" I chimed with glee, bouncing down the hill leading to the grassy meadow near Drake’s cottage. The landscape, adorned with oak trees, created a natural sanctuary where the sun played hide-and-seek through the branches.Drake just had a fucking tree branch clean through his shoulder and our little pixie was on her knees. My tongue wet my lips in a slow, contemplative circle, savoring the twisted spectacle before me."Back off!" Drake sneered at me. He was a beast, and a damn sexy one too."I was simply coming to your aid, brother." I walked over to Kiera, ignoring my brute for a sibling. Her breathing was ragged and skin covered in sweat. Images of her body raptured in desire filled me. I had to push the thoughts away though. The bond between us broke when I rejected her, but the desire to have her was just as strong. She was perfection and I wanted her, but she just tried to kill my brother. How much would we let her get away with befo
Kiera POVI woke in a haze of bliss. My body felt like it was floating on air, drowning in a warm embrace that enveloped me entirely."Open your eyes and see how sexy that warm embrace is," Athena purred in my head, and I smiled, a mile-long expression of pure contentment."I missed you," I cried out to her. My wolf, my soul! I could feel myself becoming whole again. I had a deep longing to tightly embrace her in my arms.'Don't cry, Kiera. I was always here, just blocked. After we ravish these two beast I want to know what I've missed. Now wake up and let our body be worshipped the way we deserve.' Her voice had a slight edge, a bit harsh, typical of her reserved nature when it came to overwhelming emotions. Yet, I could feel her, and in her own way, she was as joyous and content that we were fully reunited as I was.Athena continued to purr like a damn cat inside me. I laugh to myself then peeled my eyes open to see what had her so worked up.I nearly jumped out of my skin realizing
River POVI woke with this feral need inside me. I didn't know what came over my body, but it felt like a train hit my chest then exploded, sending waves of pleasure through me with all my blood rushing to my dick. I grabbed myself, pumping my hard rod like it was life or death to make myself cum. I growled out darkly, a viscous need to be satisfied in a way I didn't even know. I yearned for Elizabeth to share the same bed as me, to flip her over and roughly jam myself tightly inside her. I never liked her next to me at night, but right now, I needed her, I desperately needed something or my dick would literally explode from my balls to my tip.The second I closed my eyes these majestic purple irises haunted me. "Those idiots!" I roared out, jumping out of bed and throwing a pair of jogging pants on. I didn't know how she got here, but I knew my brothers were indulging in her all morning.I practically limped my way to Drake's cottage my dick was so hard. They were taking her body a
