KailaniPanic clawed at my throat as I stared into the cold, emotionless eyes of our captor. The dimly lit room seemed to echo with his malicious laughter, leaving me feeling trapped and hopeless. I clenched my fists, trying to control the anger and fear that threatened to consume me."Who are you?
KailaniI paced the room, my mind racing with possible plans. I couldn't help but worry about Abby and what Mr. B might do to her. My chest tightened as I thought of the danger she was in, and I forced myself to slow down my breathing. Panicking would only make things worse, and I couldn't let my a
KailaniI didn't want to touch the food. It smelled awful, and there was no telling what was in it. I pushed it away from me, and Abby did the same.We sat there alone in the room for hours. I couldn't help but run through my thoughts, trying to remember how I came in so I could get us out again, bu
KailaniI had to give Abby the opportunity to get out of here and survive.When the time came for the final match, my heart pounded in my chest. The underground club was filled with electric energy, and the air was thick with anticipation. I met Abby's eyes across the arena, and we exchanged a silen
KailaniI sat in my cage, carving another line into the floor. It has been at least two weeks now. No one had come, and I hated to admit I was losing hope.Mr. B entered the room I was in. He pulled a chair up and sat down in front of me. "It's your lucky day, Kailani."I glared at him, refusing to
KailaniThe moment he said "I think I'll start with you." makes me shiver. I stiffened, trying to keep my expression neutral. This was not what I had signed up for. I had been willing to make sacrifices, but I never thought it would go this far. My heart pounded in my chest as I came face-to-fac
AbbyThe sound of Kailani's scream echoed in my ears as I watched her body crumple to the floor, defeated. The crowd roared around us, their excitement quickly turning into confusion as a riot broke out. I grabbed Kailani by her shirt and began dragging her to safety, trying my best not to cut her w
AbbyAs we navigated through the chaotic scene, dodging obstacles and avoiding detection, I couldn't help but notice the mysterious man's knowledge and skills. He seemed intimately familiar with the layout of the underground club, guiding us down hidden passageways and through locked doors with ease
Kailani”If a person is deemed worthy, the path to the wolf den will be revealed to them and they can go to challenge the wolves. If that person wins, they can choose a wolf. If the wolf does not accept that person, even after winning, that person will be killed. But if accepted, in the place blesse
Kailani“Every year, the Dark Brood pack goes to the black market for an exchange event. Other packs go there too to harvest beasts with potential,” Veil explains, her tone brisk as she resumes walking. “Packs will exchange wolves in an auction. Then the selected will go through the wolf exchange pr
KailaniI know my days are numbered. I was failing at convincing Houston to trust me. I was no closer than I was when I first arrived. I force a smile, trying to keep my voice light. “If I died, would you miss your troublesome apprentice?” Veil rolls her eyes and scoffs at me. “That’s a pointless
KailaniI've been living with the Dark Brood pack for almost four months, though it feels like a lifetime. Time here has a way of blurring, each day bleeding into the next until I can't tell where one ends, and another begins. My status within the pack has shifted subtly. I hadn’t noticed until Mad
DamianAbby frowned at Terry and said, “Do you think because we’re here that I care about your attitude? Let’s not forget you almost mated a terrible bitch of woman that abused her own sister, so your decision making skills aren’t that high up there."That‘s my girl!I couldn’t help but smirk at her

Abby“I know,” I responded as I left my room and made my way to my parents’ room. Once Alex had brought me home in a wheelchair, my parents didn’t leave me alone. I was under house arrest for an entire month as I fully recovered.I hesitated at their door before thrusting the door open."Mom, Dad,"
AbbyWater droplets clung to my skin as I stepped out of the shower, steam clouding the glass door behind me. My muscles ached from another rigorous workout session, an attempt to distract myself from the thoughts that plagued me. But as much as I tried, my mind kept returning to Kailani and the gui
Terry“Listen kid, I told you…”I quickly grabbed him by the neck and squeezed hard. My claws digging into his flesh. “I have limited patience. Tell me what you’re hiding or I’ll break your neck right here, right now.”“Okay, okay, okay,” the man choked out and I released him. “The only thing I foun
