The Alphas and their Lunas linked me first thing this morning, requesting my presence in their office for my morning report. As a vampire, sleep is a luxury I seldom require, allowing me to oversee the pack’s patrols and ensure its protection during the vulnerable hours of the night. When dawn break
Running at Talon's side, the wind slicing through my fur, I can't stop my mind from circling the same thought over and over: my mate is one of the last two white wolves alive. Talon and her sister, Amara, are all left of a legendary bloodline; sometimes, it still doesn’t feel real. How did I, of all
The boy’s eyes lock on Katia, and unease slithers down my spine. His eyes are dead, black, and empty like no soul is left inside him, only a shell.His lips stretch into a smile, but it’s wrong, like someone forced his face to mimic happiness."Don't you remember me, Kat? I used to help you hide in
Things just got really interesting.I could feel the ripple in the air before it even happened, the kind of shift that makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand straight up. I didn't hesitate. I sent out the call, summoning the others of my kind. The Gods. Yes, we live primarily in this realm n
Bob’s jaw clenches so hard I hear his teeth grind, the sound sharp in the stillness.I glance at Katia, watching her watch him. Something in her eyes softens as if she can see past the rage to the pain underneath. I crouch beside her. "Little ghost, I think your vampire needs some help. He’s not pul
I awaken—finally—dragged from the void like a drowned thing hauled from the depths. The air burns my lungs, and for a moment, I wonder if this is what it feels like to be among the living again.Inside me, Zor stirs, his presence vast and primal, like a beast curling lazily in the corners of my mind
I am so grateful for the care Agnes and I have received. The burning fire of silver and wolfsbane that once raged in my veins has finally dulled to a quiet ache. I feel stronger now, steadier on my feet, though the shadows of what we endured still cling to the edges of my mind. Poor Agnes, though...
"How can you be sure it’s her you feel and not something sinister trying to lead us into a trap?" Alpha Mark's voice was low but filled with concern, his piercing gaze locking onto mine. His words echoed through my mind, making my stomach twist in uncertainty. But I knew. I felt it deep within my so
The barrier drops, and Demon is there to help us through and keep the idiots out. Once we are all through and the barrier is back in place, we head to the pit. The fire is barely ever out anymore. The bonfire has become the center of our pack. It is where we end up for everything, no matter the weat
Walking the last few miles toward what was now my new home with my mate, family, and pack, I watched Katia. Something had changed in her, Selene, her sister, and my mate. Whatever it was, it weighed heavily on our Alpha Luna. Her mate Nathan kept glancing back at her, his brow furrowed. I could feel
We sat there for what felt like an eternity, the silence pressing against my ears like a scream held too long. Time blurred in the heavy stillness, broken only by the quiet sobs and the rustle of leaves under careful steps. We mourned lives we had barely known, souls who had barely brushed our world
Mark was right behind her, but he froze, his eyes locked on the fire as realization dawned. He moved to help, tearing away the burning debris with shaking hands."Oh, Goddess… no."I threw my hands over the mother’s ears, trying to shield her from the sounds, but her eyes were rolling back when I lo
*Trigger Warning-Death of mother and pups. Please read at your discretion. This chapter is written to further the book, and I mean no disrespect to anyone who has lost a child*"No," I whispered, my voice barely louder than a breath, but the anguish behind it clawed at my throat. Then, as the horror
“No,” Agnes said softly, a tear slipping down her cheek. “She wasn’t crazy, Alpha. She was doing everything she could to keep her babies alive. She fed them what little milk her body could produce and kept them quiet and safe.”I couldn’t stay quiet anymore. The weight of it was too much.“They were
I had no idea how long we had been running. The cool air rushed past me, carrying the scent of damp earth and the ever-present forest musk. The steady sound of paws pounding against the ground echoed through the trees as we followed the river, its shimmering surface guiding us. My heart hammered in
I watched in awe as she stood unyielding yet filled with love before her mate. Alpha Nathan’s jaw clenched; his eyes filled with reluctant acceptance. "Fine," he grumbled, but his voice was affectionately laced. "But if this weakens you… I’m not carrying you back.""Yes, you will," she whispered wit
