Houston"She’s not what she seems," Damian said, his voice laced with caution. He was choosing his words carefully, but his comment still pissed me off. Damian knew nothing about Kailani. Who was he to tell me anything about her?"I’ve seen what she can do. She won't submit to you. Watch your back a
Houston“Why does that matter? Why would you even care?” I questioned and then scoffed. “You always were too nice.”“This is different,” Damian argued. “No, it isn’t. You take what’s yours Damian or it will be taken from you. Bring her here. She’s family now. And if she doesn’t want to go, then you
DamianAlpha Houston's question echoed in my mind, haunting me as I stood outside my door. Was she my mate?Abby... the girl who had captivated me with a single glance, the one that I barely knew and yet couldn't shake from my thoughts. I needed answers, but I didn't have them."Damian," I muttered
Damian"Her name is Abby," I began, feeling a strange mixture of vulnerability and pride as I spoke. "She’s... she’s different, Madelyne. She’s strong, but there’s a softness to her, too. When I look at her, it’s like she’s all I’ve been searching for without even realizing I was searching."Madelyn
TerryI paced back and forth, my finger hovering over Alex's contact information on my phone. The cold wind whipped around me, but it didn't faze me; I was too upset to be cold.I couldn't help but think about Kailani going rogue, disappearing without a trace for months.Why would she do that? After
TerryI didn't bother responding; instead, I let my fist fly, connecting solidly with his chin. The impact sent him stumbling back, but his infuriating smile only widened. "Is that how we're going to play this?" he asked, wiping a trickle of blood from his mouth. “You won’t be laughing for long,”
TerryThe cold wind whipped through my hair as I stood on the edge of the cliff, overlooking the Blood Rose pack's territory. My heart ached with frustration. Visiting them had been my last hope in finding Kailani, but it seemed that even they were clueless about her whereabouts. How could she just
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
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
