My heart still thrummed with lingering disappointment over the realization they were not my mates after all. Best to avoid any further distractions from their admittedly devastating good looks.The meeting commenced, and my mother was one of the first to speak up. “I’ve received seen that the dark witches are gathering forces at an alarming rate,” she said grimly. “The chaos of the werewolf wars before gave them leverage to gain power. They thrive on chaos and wars and use it to manipulate and destroy.”I felt her eyes flick briefly towards me before continuing. “For instance, they aided my mate Alpha Lucas during the last great conflict. We cannot take them lightly, as they grow more powerful and numerous by the day.”A surprised jolt went through me at her words. My father had conspired with dark witches before?Thalia, the white witch, nodded solemnly. “The dark witches can be even more formidable than we white witches,” she warned. “They seek the darkest of magics, some even beyon
I tried to be as quiet as possible sneaking out of the pack house before dawn. If my mother realized I had slipped out, she’d surely put a stop to my little adventure. But the beautiful lake I had discovered called to me.The grounds were completely still and silent as I tiptoed across them in the early morning darkness. The pack warriors could rest easy with their families now, thanks to Freya’s protective shields around across every pack territory. No one would be out to see me considering it was 4:56am in the morning and the sun wouldn't set until 5:30am.I followed the narrow stream, its gently splashing the only sound breaking the silence. Reaching the treeline, I could barely make out the glassy surface of the lake through the branches. I picked up my pace.When I finally stepped into the little clearing, the lake seemed to glow even in the pre-dawn light. The water was like glass, perfectly mirroring the pinks and oranges starting to spread across the sky as the sun peeked over
Third party PovYears had passed since the alpha twins, Ryan and Dylan, had last seen Lily. The beautiful girl who had once made their hearts flutter was now a haunting memory.She had been the highlight of their lives, someone they always looked forward to seeing. But jealousy had overtaken them when they saw Lily talking to Alpha Scott’s son, Morgan. In a moment of possessive rage, they marked Lily, causing her to fall into a years-long coma. It was a nightmare they would never forget, a guilt that gnawed at them daily.When Lily finally woke up from her coma a year later, the twins were relieved yet devastated, knowing they would never be allowed to see her again. Their parents had forbidden it, and they understood the reasons why. They had caused enough pain and had to live with the consequences of their actions.Years later, a new threat loomed over the packs—the dark witches. An urgent meeting was called, bringing together leaders from various packs. Ryan and Dylan attended, the
Agatha PovI added another gnarly root to the fire, the smoke stinging my eyes. Around our underground house, my sisters watched me with a mixture of fear and admiration. Good - they should be afraid, for what I had to say went against everything that bitch Freya and Thalia the white witch stood for.“Sisters, for too long we have existed in the shadows while that pathetic excuse for a white witch pranced around, spreading her sickly peace like a plague.” I spat on the ground, my anger burning as hotly as the fire. “She has managed to unite the werewolf packs and drive us from the overworld where we ruled. Beasts we have used for sacrifice and spell ingredients since the dawn of time?”Murmurs of agreement could be heard through the coven. Those youngest among us had never known true power and control over the supernatural realm. Thanks to Freya and the white witch meddling, they had grown up watching our influence wane along with the conflicts that fed our dark arts. We had to be liv
I stomped up the stairs, rolling my eyes at Mom calling after me. “I’m going to bed early to get away from you and Dad being so overbearing! I’m an adult wolf for goddess’ sake!”Slamming the door behind me, I let out a satisfied smirk. Finally, some peace and quiet away from my overly protective parents. I made my way over to the dresser, eager to get changed into something more comfortable for bed.My fingers trailed along a soft, skimpy fabric as I pulled out a pink two-piece nightwear set. Biting my lip, I slipped it on, the sheer material clinging tantalizingly to my curves. Maybe a bit too provocative for just sleeping alone, but who was I kidding? This wasn’t for me - it was to entice my alpha mates in hopes they would show up in my dream again.I hadn’t intended to be such a tease, but there was something so thrilling about riling them up. Those two powerful alpha twins came undone by my simple femininity. I shivered in anticipation at the thought of them catching me in this ba
I gasped at the implication behind his words, a thrill of anticipation and fear racing through my veins and making my body flush warm. The thought of whatever reminders or punishments they might devise made my heart race. “W-what do you plan to do with me?” I asked breathlessly.My eyes widened with a mix of horror. “Do you...do you plan on remarking me?” I asked nervousness.“No, little mate,” Dylan’s gravelly voice replied. “Not this time.”I bit my lip, confused. “T..then what...?” But before I could finish, Dylan moved with swiftness. In one fluid motion, he lifted me from behind.Ryan immediately laced my legs around his twin waist, so I was cradled between their powerful frames. My breath caught in my throat as I held onto Ryan to steady myself, his solid body against mine making my core throb with sudden awareness.Then, with seemingly no effort at all, Ryan tossed me onto the bed. I gasped at the rough treatment, bouncing slightly before staring up at the imposing alpha twins
I was walking towards the conference hall when I heard my name being called out. Turning around, I saw Morgan jogging over to catch up with me. Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed the alpha twins also headed in the same direction, their intense gazes locked onto me as Morgan approached.Instantly, my cheeks warmed to a furious crimson blush as vivid memories of my recent dreams involving the twins flooded my mind. The memory of how they had taken turns possessing every inch between my thighs, thoroughly claiming me and leaving no area untouched or unsated by their passionate attentions.Since I didn’t have accelerated healing abilities, I could still feel the lingering imprint of Ryan’s harsh yet intoxicating affirmation of his territory between my thighs.Just as Morgan moved in to give me a friendly embrace hello, I instinctively took a step back. As much as I wanted that platonic hug from an old friend, I couldn’t risk incurring the twins’ jealousy or wrath again by welcoming an
Jezabel's PovAs I sat on the clinic bed, I couldn’t help but smirk inwardly. Phase one was complete - I had successfully infiltrated the pack without raising any suspicions. The fools had no idea who I really was or what I was planning.I lay there on the bed, my thoughts racing as the door opened. This time, it was Luna Freya and Sage, Lily’s mother, who entered the room. Sage’s eyes locked onto her daughter, and she spoke in a firm tone, “Lily, step away from her.”My heart nearly stopped. They knew. They had to know. Why else would Sage want Lily to move away from me? I gripped Lily’s hand tighter, fear coursing through my veins.Unexpectedly, Lily spoke up, “What do you plan to do with Jessica?” I held my breath at the mention of my real name.Sage replied, “A human cannot stay within the pack, Lily, you already know this. The fact that she also knows about werewolves is troubling and we have no one here who can erase memories.”Lily countered, “Then how am I able to stay in the
