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
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

It was another goddess-forsaken full moon. I hated full-moon nights. Ever since the night like this when my life was torn apart. I stumbled through the front door, my clothes torn and matted with dirt. The foyer glowed with soft candlelight, illuminating elaborate flower arrangements and golden st
My heart pounded as I sprinted down the hall, my bare feet barely making a sound on the cold stone floor. I didn't want the man to change his mind; I couldn't bear the thought of what he might do if he knew my true status, lower even than an omega. My breaths came in ragged gasps, but I didn't dare
Knock. Knock. Knock.The soft knocks on my door made me jump as I finished drying off from my shower and wrapped the towel around me. I knew this was not my mother as she would have just came in. I said, “Come in."Margaret, the Omega housekeeper, entered my room. She was one of the few who was dece
The banquet came to an end two hours after Mother's announcement. A few pack members spoke to me. I was even brought food. It felt so good to actually be acknowledged for once.When the banquet hall was empty with just my family, I walked up to Kim and pulled her into a hug. She was tense, but it di

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
