KailaniBlood pooled around Alpha Houston's limp body, a gruesome reminder of the wound he'd received saving me. Guilt clawed at my chest as I stared at his unconscious form, barely breathing. He had given me permission to run away, but here I was, hesitating. My heart raced with fear and uncertaint
KailaniThey are up to no good.I could see their intentions; it was written all over their faces. They hadn’t come to help; they came to make sure Alpha Houston didn’t survive."Watch your mouth," the other warrior growled, grabbing my arm roughly and yanking me away from Alpha Houston. "You'll pa
Kailani"Let this be a lesson to all of you," Alpha Houston growled. "Loyalty is not optional, and betrayal will not be tolerated. Leave now if you do not want to follow me." His piercing gaze swept over the assembled pack, which cowered before him with their heads bowed in submission. This was a
Kailani“When will that brat finally get the truth through her thick head?” Madelyne groaned in irritation, turning to face me. Her expression softened slightly, but there was still a hint of irritation in her eyes. "And you shouldn’t provoke her. I told you to stay away from her."I shrugged. "Well
KailaniI stood up and paced in the middle of my new room, trying to ignore the heavy scent of Alpha Houston that clung to everything. The food on the table looked delicious, but my stomach churned at the thought of eating anything right now. Why was his scent so damn strong?"Ugh," I muttered under
Kailani"Kailani, hurry up," Madelyne said. I jumped at her voice, completely forgetting she was still in my room. She had a worried expression on her face, but she didn’t say anything else as she exited my room to wait for me outside. I quickly got dressed and followed her down the hallway.“I kno
KailaniThe scent of freshly baked bread wafted through the kitchen, mingling with the savory aroma of shrimp Alfredo. As I looked over the array of dishes I had prepared, I felt proud at what I accomplished. This was something that I did because I wanted to and not out of necessity to feed the tyra
KailaniThis may be the first good thing to happen in quite a while.As I made my way back to my room, I couldn’t help but wonder how long this special treatment would last. Regardless, I planned to take full advantage of the time I had, maybe even figure out a way to send a message to Terry.Lost i
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
DamianEverything was coming together.I was surprised at how easy it was to convince Alpha heir Terry to hear out of my proposition. He must be truly desperate to find whoever this mysterious woman. I had heard about him breaking off his engagement with Kim, the eldest daughter of the Iron Claw pac
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
