Nicole was tentative about James's presence. Out of everyone in the pack, she feared him the most. They walked together, finding comfort in the quietness of the surrounding woods."Nicole," James began, his voice firm yet gentle. "I haven't spoken to you about this before because I thought it was a
As Liam made his rounds, inspecting the warriors and assessing their readiness for the upcoming battle, James approached him with a serious expression on his face. They moved to a more secluded area, away from prying ears, to have their discussion."While you were away, I had an interesting conversa
"Hi," he said, sniffing her hair. His wolf purred within him.Smiling, Nicole relaxed onto his body. "Hi," she responded. "I've missed you.""I've missed you more. But I want to know, is this you or is this your wolf speaking."Nicole made a purring sound, then shifted her body and turned to face hi
He angled himself deep, inward and up, to hit that spot inside of her—and he thrust at her hard. Her throaty whimpers told him to stay right there and keep delivering and he did.“Oh my gawd, Liam, don’t s-stop...” Her eyes had lost focus, and her nails dug into the skin of his shoulders. “Harder. H
They dashed out of the room and onto the field together. Liam had planned that the battle would be as far from the pack's residential area as possible. The moon hung high in the night sky, casting an ethereal glow upon the battleground where the Dark Moon pack stood united against the encroaching t
Liam wanted to reject the idea but Nicole interjected, "When we find it I am the only one who will be able to stand inside a ball of concentrated magic, which is what it is, so let's not argue."Liam grunted, showing that he grudgingly accepted it.As she fought alongside Dark Moon, Nicole's instinc
Liam's mind raced, his thoughts consumed by the safety of his mate. As he dispatched his opponent, his gaze darted across the battlefield, searching for any sign of Nicole. Fear gripped his heart, but he steeled himself, refusing to let doubt cloud his judgment.Nicole, aware of Liam's concern, foug
Nicole's heart pounded in her chest as she looked around. She was alone. It seemed like no one had ventured into this unrecognizable part of the forest for years. Her senses heightened and were disoriented by the sudden change in her surroundings.The air was thick with the scent of damp earth and f
“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
