The punch was powerful enough that it would’ve levelled even the strongest wolves, and yet our Alpha still remained standing. His head was turned away, so I didn’t catch his reaction until he faced Dylan who stared wide-eyed as he spat out a mouthful of blood… and grinned.“That was very good,” he c
Layla’s POVAt first my feet remained rooted to the spot, and all of my muscles froze in place as I felt a surge of panic spike through my system. This was it then, a voice in my head summarised bitterly. This was what Hector had had in mind when he sent Carlos to come and fetch me, his way of punis
My hands ached with a need to explore.I almost answered back, telling him that it was both. I’d been kept away from him and I’d been avoiding him. That I’d been on the brink of dying before, and being around him felt like that sometimes, except in a different, more dangerous way. That he intoxicate

Lu, despite her constant whining and vanity, was actually a very gifted fighter. And beyond that she was strategic. Every bite and scratch seemed designed to weaken and do maximum damage, while mine came off as weak, desperate attempts.Needing a moment to place some distance between us and rethink
Layla’s POVLea whined, her ears falling flat at the sides of her head as Rhea’s jaw closed even tighter around our neck, her teeth breaking skin.‘Lu!’ I cried, scrambling desperately to form a mindlink between us even as I tried to remain still. ‘Lu, stop this. I’ve surrendered. Don’t do this!’Ab
The Alpha didn’t respond to dad. Instead, his gaze narrowed to slits as he stared at Lu, and I knew that they were communicating via a mindlink he had set up between the two of them.His expression remained unchanged for the longest time, and then all of a sudden his lips curled in a show of disgust
Dear readers, And that’s the end of it. Unbelievable, I know. I didn’t want to write an author’s note until I was absolutely finished with this, and now I am. The journey through telling the story of Hector and Layla has transformed me in ways I hadn’t thought possible—financially, mentally, cre
For years I had been afraid, unable to defend myself as people scorned me, and dictated who I was, where I stood. But none of that remained the case now. I had my mother, who was flawed and awkward, but perfect, I had a cousin who slightly terrified me. I had a grandfather, who had sacrificed h
Layla’s POV There was an edge of something dangerous in his tone even as he kneaded my ass playfully, and I shivered. My pulse raced. “I–It wasn’t intentional.” “Oh, I’m sure it wasn’t,” he murmured in something like pride. “My Little Wolf isn’t so little anymore, is she?” I swallowed in the

Layla’s POV Lust burned hot in my brain, making it impossible to think of anything beyond Hector. The feeling of his arms wrapped tightly around me as he carried me across Pack grounds, and his earthy wild male scent which left me powerless to resist his charms—all of these resulted in a sudden
“They WILL come, and right now you decide how ready you will be when they finally come at us.” She paused to let the meaning of her words sink in before finishing: “Now, I’ll invite my mother to come and take over; you can direct any questions you have at her.” The sound of a chair scraping acros
Hector’s POV The Sanguis Pack conference hall was more packed than I had ever seen it. It teemed with visiting werewolves from all over the globe, all seated, and as the sounds they made traveled to me (chairs creaking, the steady drone of air conditioning, and people with heads close together sp
My whole body felt as taut as a string, and tears stung my eyes as I watched her let her emotions settle. “Sorry about that,” my mother apologized after some time, swallowing. I noticed her hands in her laps, trembling. “I don’t… I don’t know what came over me.” She paused to gather her thoughts b
Layla’s POV With a tucked-in T shirt, denim jeans, and hair cropped just below her chin, Elaine Holloway looked much better than she had when I last saw her… which wasn’t that high of a bar when I actually thought about it. I mean, she had been standing next to the man who kept her captive for al
