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
Liam allowed himself to return to his human form and then stepped closer, picking up an axe and keeping it at the ready. Liam might have been in human form, but his wolf was very much in control. His eyes were golden orbs that saturated his surroundings with raw and unfiltered dominance."I don't th
James nodded in understanding. "Alright, I'll take you to her. But be careful, Alpha. She's still afraid of you."Liam nodded, his heart pounding in his chest. He followed James through the forest, his mind racing with thoughts of Nicole.As they approached the cabin where Nicole was staying, Liam's
"It was just a dream. It was just a dream." Nicole muttered under her breath.She hated it, and she hated that she was like that. Every day was a battle, and she felt like she was drowning in a sea of fear and pain. She missed her wolf, the part of her that was strong and fearless and hated herself
Her chest was still constricted from all the pain, but there was something new, like a freeing outlet. Was it his mark? Maybe it was the strength in his eyes or the kindness in his voice. Or maybe it was the way he seemed to understand her without her even having to speak. All she knew was that she
Nicole felt a pang of sadness for him. She knew what it was like to lose someone one loved. "I know it's hard," she said gently. "But you have to keep going. For her. She would want you to be happy."Garrett's arms went limp, and he broke the hug. Without a word, he guided her to the trunk. They wer
As surprising and heart-warming as it was to see Nicole finally venture out of her shell while helping Garrett get over his grief, Liam was displeased.He unsuccessfully tried to push away the feelings of jealousy and anger that he felt every time he saw Nicole with Garrett. He had no right to feel
James examined him silently as he limped out of the panic room, his feelings and thoughts hidden behind his dark eyes."We'll meet at the office," he said, with his arms folded behind his back as he walked away.Liam showered and returned to studying. A few minutes later, there was a knock on the d
“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
