"I want you to suffer, Nicole. I want you to feel the pain that I felt when you rejected me. You will stay here until you die and no one will come to your rescue. You're nothing, just a weak, pathetic Omega," Shane spat.Nicole closed her eyes, tears streaming down her face. She had given up all hop
Nicole slowly opened her eyes, her head pounding with a dull ache. She was lying in a white hospital bed, surrounded by unfamiliar walls. Panic set in as she tried to sit up, but a sharp pain in her abdomen made her wince and fall back onto the bed. She took deep breaths and tried to calm down, tak
Asha shook her head. "It's not your fault, Nicole. None of these is. You're a victim here, and we're all here to support you."Nicole didn't feel that way. She was becoming overwhelmed and wanted to be left alone. Alpha Liam entered the room, a look of relief on his face. As soon as he walked into
Liam couldn't take it anymore. He came to visit her, but she tried to push him away, telling him to leave her alone."Please, Nicole, talk to me. Let me help you," he pleaded."How can you help me, Liam?" Nicole asked, her voice laced with pain and bitterness. "You weren't there. You were also mean
It had been weeks, long weeks since Liam saw Nicole smile. Long weeks since she met his gaze. Long weeks since she was confident in him, and it drove him to the brink of insanity. On another hand, there was Garrett, who seemed to have also lost his mind since his mate Lola was killed, while he surv
He understood her trauma or at least tried to and he longed to hold her, to tell her that she was safe now, but every time he approached her, she shied away, fear flickering in her eyes. It hurt him to see her so scared of him. He wanted to reach out to her, but he didn't know how to make her feel
Liam stood up, his fists clenched at his sides. "Don't tell me what I can and can't do, James. You don't understand." He growled.James held up his hands in surrender. "I'm sorry, Liam. I didn't mean to upset you. But you have to focus on the pack. We need you."Liam stared at James for a long momen
As planned, Liam smoked out the traitors' dwelling within Dark Moon. After his talk with James, he forced himself to discard his emotions, overwhelming him and putting his pack together again.Liam used his bond with the Dark Moon to locate those who weren't connected; the traitors, and then he sent
“Stop bluffing.” Marisol's smile dropped the moment the dagger slipped into her hands. “We both know that I'm not bluffing, witch.”Before Guinevere could react, Marisol drove the dagger into her heart in one forceful swing. Her eyes blew wide, and she fell right on top of Marisol, pained choking s
The air crackled with magic, and their surroundings became a battlefield of elemental forces. Marisol conjured torrents of fire, sending waves of intense heat crashing towards Guinevere. But Guinevere laughed, her own magic swirling around her like a shield as she countered with blasts of icy spears
Marisol ended up in a dimly lit chamber, the air thick with ancient magic and foreboding. Her grip on the dagger tightened, its energy pulsing against her skin as if urging her forward.She didn't know where she was or how she got there. All she did was allow her senses to lead her, and it seemed th
By the time the truth had fully sunk in, Cedric was a whirlwind of fury and grief. He turned on Leticia, his eyes blazing with a primal rage as he grabbed her roughly, his grip like a vice around her throat."Cedric, stop!" Caleb's voice rang out, his tone commanding. "This won't bring Marisol back.
Caleb's brow pinched in concern as he took in Cedric's disheveled state. “How? Was Guinevere here?” He looked around frantically and found no sign of infiltration. He turned back to his brother. “Don't worry, we'll find her," he assured, his voice a steady anchor within the chaos that was Cedric's m
In the hushed stillness of the night, when the world lay shrouded in darkness and all was quiet, Marisol rolled out of bed. It was time.She knew what she had to do. A sense of duty pulsed through her veins, driving her from the warmth of her bed.Silently slipping out from beneath the covers, she m
Marisol's heart swelled with conflicting emotions at Cedric's declaration. His eyes, conveying his utmost sincerity, almost had her bursting into tears where she sat. Instead, she forced a smile, her applause joining in with the others, though inside, she felt a pang of sadness.“That's wonderful ne
A smile spread across Marisol's face as she turned around in his arms to face him. “Nervous? Why on earth…”“Okay, I was nervous on your behalf.” He admitted with a sheepish grin, and Marisol regarded him with a fond smile. “But Leticia was right. When we retreated, they prowled around aimlessly for
Marisol stepped out of Leticia's chambers with a million thoughts bubbling in her head. She didn't know if she wanted to scream or cry. Maybe she wanted to do both. It was so unfair. Her parents had told her she was destined for greatness. Was this fate's idea of greatness? To be made to sacrifice
