Kara

I looked in the mirror one last time, taking a deep breath. Mum had just left, and I knew dad would be here to fetch me soon. The news mum had left me with circles over and over in my mind. What did I want?

I added the necklace Elio had given me to wear for our wedding. It was a three tiered silver chain with rubies on it. It was beautiful, but right now it felt like a choke hold threatening to send me over the edge.

I walked to my balcony overlooking the Crimson Moon pack. It was magnificent I had adjusted to the heat and the endless sand dunes that layout before me. I looked down the castle, seeing one of the gardens was in use for our ceremony. A fairy tale wedding, by all accounts. Only I felt as if I was drowning, unable to catch my breath.

Elio … I don’t know what he was and I don’t know how I feel about him. I said I hated him, but even then, I knew that wasn’t true. I disliked him, of course, for forcing me into this, but the reality is there is only one person who for

She’s so childish. If she wanted to talk to him privately, she could’ve easily signaled him when they looked at each other.

    Elio There was a niggle in my chest. My wolf was restless. Ever since I saw her gazing out the window, I could just tell she was up to something. To make matters worse, she looked fucking stunning. I wanted to rush upstairs and fuck her, something I have wanted to do since the day we met. I had seen her father go up to fetch her, and her mother was looking rather shifty. Did she say something to her? “Aaliyah … how did Kara seem?” I ask pulling her to the side so no one else could hear. She bit her lip, something she has always done around me trembling slightly. I want to roll my eyes and force her to tell me, but I know Cahya will have my balls if I scare his mate again. “She seemed nervous … it’s a big day alpha,” she tells me respectfully as I give her a look. Nervous … whatever for? I have been nothing but nice to her and she is nervous. I growl at her and she squeaks as Cahya then appears beside me, pulling her into his chest protectively. I roll my eyes at him and he just sta

    Kara My whole body quivers with fear as I watch Elio engulfed in a blazing inferno of rage. It’s not like before this time he fully shifts. His body morphing into a hybrid of a fearsome wolf and a sinister shadow monster which almost looks like … The darkness surrounding him I can feel it, as if it could swallow everything in its path. My heart races as I feel the raw power emanating from him, sending shivers down my spine. “Your marked!” he bellows, making every hair on my body stand on end. Crap, my makeup must have melted off after running in this heat. This was not how I wanted this plan to go. “Elio,” I add softly, trying to explain. I feel tears prick my eyes and although he looks like a monster right now, he has done nothing to hurt me. But maybe I’m just being delusional. His eyes flicker hearing my voice and I try to think of the words to say. His wolf looks more like a hellhound with the flames burning all around him. Yet it doesn’t singe any of his fur. I want to take a

    Elio I mind linked Cahya telling him to clear everyone out and cancel the ceremony. In addition, I requested he bring her parents to my office for the meeting. I was so angry I could feel the heat still burning through my skin. I had no idea how she was silent, but she just lay there like a doll in my arms. I had wanted her to be submissive, but not catatonic. No doubt she was thinking about her lover, her mate that she couldn’t be with anymore. She thought she could fool me! I was prepared to exhibit to her explicitly what happened if you crossed me. I jostled her, so she landed with my shoulder, digging into her stomach. She didn’t make a sound. Not a peep came from her lips. What was it that she was blathering on about anyway to do with the blood oath? Is that why she ran? She saw her out and took it fleeing her wedding? Our wedding. To make matters worse, she was almost naked. I couldn't take my eyes off her perfect peach, which bounced with every step I took. Did she have to

    Elio I took a long hot shower, trying to clear my head, but no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t get my anger under control. I don’t know what was driving this feeling. If anything, shouldn’t I feel relieved I am no longer bound by this blood oath? Her dazzling emerald green eyes flash in my mind, first the look of defiance, then the look she gives me when she pretends. She isn’t checking me out and now those wild purple eyes dimming with resignation. It is a look I have seen thousands of times, but from her … it feels wrong. I scrub the shower gel over my body, rubbing my skin hard as I try to wipe away the feel of her skin on mine, her scent, the taste of her blood. Why did I even heal her? My wounds have healed. I can't believe she actually had the audacity to attack me. Questions are buzzing around in my mind, creating a chaotic storm. I needed her gone, but every time I pictured her leaving, I felt an ache in my chest. I shut off the water grabbing a towel as I headed to ba

    Kara Marquis led me silently down to the omega floor, the dimly lit corridor lined with steel doors. The air felt heavy and suffocating, filled with a mixture of anticipation and despair. The faint sound of distant footsteps echoed through the narrow passageway, creating an eerie atmosphere. As we descended further, the scent of stale air mingled with a faint odour of desperation, a reminder of the lives confined within these walls. The omega floor was divided into two distinct sections - breeders and servants. The thought of becoming a breeder sent shivers down my spine, but I clung to the hope of being assigned as a servant, a role I believed I could endure. I liked baking. I enjoy cleaning but having to be forced to sleep with someone … I’d rather die. I don’t even think my father, the monster that he was, had an omega floor. He must have had alternative approaches. Perhaps he believed he didn't require one. As we walked, the castle slowly faded away, the beautiful architectur

    Elio Meeting her parents made me pissed off because one little idea caused so much damage. I am one of the most powerful alphas because I possess a keen intellect that allows me to exploit the foolishness and narrow-mindedness of others, effortlessly claiming whatever I desire. Heading to my office, I meticulously review the paperwork of the blood oath, determined to confirm every detail. Frustration consumes me as I shake my head, growling at the thought of that treacherous rat who dared to double-cross me. If only he were still alive, I would relish the opportunity to make him suffer for attempting to strike a terrible deal. He had referred to her as unmarked and pure, but I know that it’s yet another lie. My lips press together, my jaw clicking with anger at his last remark. She may act innocent, like a virgin, but it’s irrelevant to me. I want nothing to do with her. Maybe it’s unfair of me to hold her accountable for her father’s wrongdoings, especially since he’s no longer al

    Kara I had zero sleep last night, and it had nothing to do with the lumpy mattress, the cold temperature, or the barely there blanket; it was all because of Elio. I know I made a mistake, but he didn’t even want to hear me out. He wouldn’t even listen as to why; I was so angry my whole body was shaking. I got up and headed upstairs to bring him his breakfast, which I had half a mind to spit in for him being so obtuse! I knocked on the door, remembering Marcels words about not going in here unless he told you too. Did that still count? Was I supposed to leave his breakfast outside? I placed the tray down on the floor and checked if the door was locked. It clicked open, much to my annoyance. Using my foot and hip to wedge the door open, I picked up the tray and hurried along, looking for somewhere to place the tray and get out of here. I wonder where he was? Would I be able to grab some of my things? I thought about the phone Gabriel gave me but I had no idea if I would have a signal

    Elio I was undoubtedly a masochist. It was the third day of Kara being my slave and all I had managed to do was annoy her and observe as she cleaned. She constantly shot me irritated glances, clearly puzzled by my excessive staring. Strangely enough, her reactions only added to the overall amusement of the situation. Every time she would give me a sassy retort, a mischievous smirk would curl on my lips But when I sensed that she was starting to go too far, I would playfully tease her about how I would go about taking out her family, one by one, right before her eyes. Of course, I had no actual intention of doing such a thing, but she had no clue about that. But she didn’t fucking know that and twisted pleasure I derived from watching her squirm was almost intoxicating. Still, it irked me how I still noticed her beauty. That plump lower lip she would bite down on and how well I know she tasted when I kissed her. I was also avoiding work, as Naomi would find ways to corner me. I had

    Kara 5 years later Chaos reigned in every direction. As an omega, I like things clean and tidy but with kids … impossible, especially when you find yourself surrounded by their cousins and friends. Six, there were six of them. Elio thank the goddess was with me. I had agreed to look after Luca whilst Aurora was having a few issues with the twins. The triplets were there, along with our two Xander and Aria, and Addison, who had suddenly joined our pack. Addison was the same age as Aria, and they generally got along. “MUM!!!! Aria is doing it again!” Xander bellowed from across the hall. He’s such a sweet boy, but his sister sure gets under his skin. “Aria, what are you doing to your poor brother now?” I ask as I see her trying to stuff jelly into his ears and nose. Addison, I can see hiding behind the Xander as she tries to hand him a tissue to help get the jelly out. “Where did this jelly come from?” I ask as she shrugs, batting her lashes, looking at the picture of innocence.

    Kara 5 months later I rubbed my rather enormous belly once more, feeling my little pup kick. It turns out Elio had been right, and I was pregnant after my heat. I was relieved because I’m not sure how much I enjoyed feeling my insides burn unless he was pounding me raw. Although I will have to think of something because I’m not pumping out kids like my sister has done to avoid her heat. Although considering she has an extra 7 days on me, I can see why she does. I was sitting in Aaliyah and Cahya’s quarters whilst we put together the final touches of our plan regarding the omega floor and hierarchy of our pack. We wanted status to be determined by rank that was earned, not because of their blood. Both Elio and Cahya had come clean to the pack they were hybrids … it took them a few more months to tell the pack what kind of hybrid but as Baylee and Marquis had insisted they can’t protect their alpha if they don’t know what the pack could be up against. They had also told Elio they had

    Elio “Marquis don’t let anyone come to my floor and ignore all and any of your lunas requests,” I link him as I see him taking his place at the bottom of the steps nodding at me as I walk by, “Yes alpha,” I can still make out Kara’s screams from the floor above. I headed to the cells expeditiously enough, checking on Naomi first as I inspected her back. “Use the silver whip tomorrow and a dash of wolfsbane never hurt either,” I reminded the guard as he smiled knowingly before I turned, heading for Katie’s cell. “Of course, alpha,” he tells me as I reach the next cell. Katie, in comparison, looked much better now, wearing some of Kara’s clothes after her shower as she licked her fingers, the chocolate frosting covering all of her digits as she stuffed her face. She looked up, seeing me there before she excavated more cake into her mouth. Half of it smeared around her face. I’m surprised she wasn’t sick. She swallowed down her mouthful before she gave me a look. “You don’t waste any t

    Elio I waited upstairs for Kara to return and when she did; I noticed her sleeves were waiting, and she had a deep frown on her face. “What happened?” she told me everything as I listened and waited for her to finish my jaw clenching around some of the details but still she continued. I was sitting by the fire as I watched the flames flicker, their heat warming my skin. I pulled Kara in to my lap as she finished speaking. “Have you headed the name Tobin Adnet before?” she asked, biting her lip with eyes wide. It was concerning, they had enlisted a witch to help them. I wish I thought of it sooner. I shook my head as I settled my hands on her waist when an image of a man appeared in the flames. He looked strangely familiar, which posed several problems. “I know what she did was wrong, but I need you to show mercy to them. The pack was just following orders and Katie has suffered enough. I know she has. Please,” it was her plea that mollified me or I may not have agreed. “Fine, I’ll h

    Kara I headed down to the cells. The temperature dropped noticeably down here. A metallic scent permeated the air while patches of dark red dried blood on the walls and floor sent a shiver down my spine. I had no expectations for how Katie might react seeing me, in truth I hadn’t known her all that long and she had always been so warm and kind to me that I looked past any red flags she may have had or didn’t want to pry into her or Dawsons bond. Perhaps if I had, things would be different. She wouldn’t be rotting in a cell and her mate and other pack members killed. Having said that, it could be the case seeing her pack is responsible for all the silver bullets killing wolves. When I reach her cell, the guards standing close by I gasp, seeing the state she is in. When I reach her cell, I gasp at the state she is in - her hair, usually bouncing and shiny, is now matted at the ends and greasy on top. Dirt stains covered her clothes everywhere, leaving them tattered. She was also extre

    Kara I still had the smug grin on my face as I walked into Aaliyah’s hospital room, where she was holding two beautiful babies and Cahya was holding one. She had triplets, two girls and a boy, the cutest little munchkins since Luca. Their mocha coloured skin and bright blue eyes with a few tufts of red hair made them all so gorgeous. Aaliyah looked exhausted as she cuddled them. Cahya beamed with pride as he boasted to Marquis and Baylee about how they were the most handsome and beautiful kids and if they ever had kids, they would not be as beautiful as his. Candice sat with Aaliyah, wiping her brow that still had a light sheen of sweat, while the doctor rushed out and gave Cahya a weary look. I wonder precisely what had occurred before we arrived. No wonder he was in such a hurry to get back. “Where’s Elio?” Aaliyah asked, a sleepy expression on her face, but despite how challenging her delivery had been, she seemed to glow. “He’ll be in shortly,” I told her as I came to sit by the

    Elio Kara’s cheeks burnt red and I resisted teasing her further, although she was trying with all her might to pry me off of her. The door clicked open, and she screamed as my lips popped from her hard bud. Our doctor had barely taken a step before I mind linked him to stop him entering further. “Can you meet us in the room next to mine?” I demanded, as Kara shuddered above me. The door swiftly closed as she glared at me, despite her body reacting to every flick of my tongue. Seeing as we didn’t have much time, I dropped her back into the bath, the water splashing over the sides as I quickly helped clean her. Her fingernails dug into my wrist as she gripped the rim of the tub with the other. “Elio, what are you doing!” she pants and honestly, I’m not sure if I’m trying to help clean her or get her off once more. “Be quick, little wolf. You don’t have long,” she snarls at me in response as the water splashes between her legs before her legs shake as she bites her lip, trembling before

    KaraThe sun shone through the window, heating my skin as I winced. Every cell in my body hurt, I peered my eyes open seeing the carnage around me tables and chair knocked over clothes and bedding ripped. My core was on fire and not in a good way. It felt like an endless train had passed right through me. “Ouch” I tried sitting up, but that just made everything worse. I felt the bed dip beside me. I knew who it was his scent told me everything I needed to know. When I gazed into his eyes, though, the look he gave me wasn’t what I expected. It was stern … detached even. “Elio?” my voice was hoarse as I swallowed, feeling a burn. Oh god, how long did my heat last?“How are you feeling?” his voice was icy as I frowned, wondering what he could be unhappy about now. I was the one with the insides melting, turning to fire unless he touched me. Even when he did, there was the pain of having him inside for so long, but it was nothing compared to the pain of trying to move away from him. My bo
