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
KailaniThe next morning, I met Veil in the kitchen, rubbing the sleep from my eyes and expecting to go hunting and then spend the day cooking. Instead, she led me out of the house and deep into the wilderness, into a clearing."Veil, what's going on?" I asked. I felt something was off and immediate
KailaniThe next day, on the way to meet with Veil, I noticed pack members muttering about me. I groaned in irritation. Veil brought up that Letita spread rumors that Alpha Houston was favoring me because we were sleeping together which was ridiculous. What was her play? This wasn’t Mean Girls.Some
KailaniVeil’s words echoed in my mind as I considered my next move. After a moment, a plan began to form in my thoughts, and I smirked. "I think I have the perfect idea." "Can I borrow some of your herbal books?" I asked Veil. She looked at me with curiosity before saying, “Of course, but what do
Kailani“Kailani, I hope you know what you're doing.” Veil nodded in agreement. "Go ahead. I’ll make sure it is only Letita who gets her special seasoning tonight."I thanked her and began to prepare the concoction, my heart pounding with both fear and excitement. I knew what I was about to do was
KailaniLetita's swollen face was burned in my mind for days after the situation. The warriors had rushed her inside just in time, saving her life. I didn't want her dead, but I knew she would be left with scars on her face due to the allergic reaction.If Alpha Houston had any idea that I was behin
KailaniI've definitely come across him before! At Mr. B's!A sudden flash of memory hit me like lightning – Damian had been at the illegal fighting ring. He'd brought me food when I was held captive by Mr. B's men. I gagged at the memory of me being nice to him.“I needed to figure out what he was
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
