Nicole lay beside Liam, the warmth of his body enveloping her. She woke up the next morning, her eyes fluttering open to find him still peacefully asleep. A mixture of contentment and fear washed over her. As the remnants of her dreams faded away, her past traumas clawed their way back into her con
Liam's eyes softened, his fingers gently caressing her cheek. "You don't have to be afraid anymore, Nicole," he reassured her, his voice filled with sincerity. "I'm here, and I'll protect you with everything I have."His words resonated deep within her, melting away some of the barriers she had erec
Startled by the conversation, Nicole couldn't resist the temptation to peer out and observe the exchange between Liam and Garrett. She gently pushed the door open, just enough to catch a glimpse of the two men."Why would you think she's missing?" Liam retorted, his tone edged with irritation.Nicol
Garrett turned his attention to Nicole, his expression serious and probing. The air seemed to grow tense as he fired questions at her, leaving her feeling cornered and unsettled."Nicole, what's going on?" Garrett asked, his voice laced with a mix of irritation and concern. "You know that you're not
Nicole's wolf clawed within. It was mad that Garrett was bringing up Nicole's insecurities."Nicole, you have to understand," Garrett continued as he spoke earnestly. "I've seen what you went through in your previous pack. I watched you suffer, and I don't want to see you go through that again. Liam
Liam approached Lilian's chambers with a growing sense of annoyance and weariness. He longed to spend more time with Nicole to revel in their newfound connection. But it seemed that fate had other plans, constantly throwing distractions in his path. His wolf was on the edge, its agitation fueling h
Smirking, Liam shrugged, and they had already arrived at Lilian's door."Well played, my friend. Well played."Liam would have laughed if they hadn't been at Lilian's door. The commotion within grew louder, and Liam's patience wore thin. He gritted his teeth, willing himself to maintain composure in
Liam's jaw tightened, a mix of emotions swirling within him. "Lilian, I understand your longing, but we can't afford to lose focus," Liam responded firmly, his words tinged with a touch of regret. "The witches are still a threat, and we must remain united and vigilant. I can't risk your safety or t
“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
