There was such weariness in the eyes of Adam as he stood at the edge of the waters and watched me play around inside the river.

Yes. I had taken him up on his offer, and had decided to pay a visit to the beautiful stream which was damn cold but cool to swim in.

I watched him rake his hands across his hair and sighed. And I wondered what could be the problem. Did he remember something bad?

“Are you okay?”

“Yeah. It’s nothing.” He fixed a fake smile on his face. But his eyes remained the same. Sad. Tired.

Was the workload or expectations on him heavy? Or was it because I was leaving? I wasn’t sure of the answer, and I didn’t want to trouble myself with those either. Besides, he would tell me if he wanted to.

“It’s just that I don’t deserve you…” He muttered, but I managed to glean the words properly. My ears must be overly sensitive today.

I nodded, a slow smile curving my mouth. "Of course you don't deserve me. I'm so good and brave and perfect."

My smile was teasing, frankly sexy

  • Nemesis Of The Lycan Triplets   at the queen's

    SAGEThe palace gates opened for me as they always did.Guards straightened at my approach. One bowed, another offered a small smile—respectful, familiar, unchanged. Their gazes lingered with the same deference they had always shown, the kind reserved for royalty and those close to power.“Lady Sage,” one murmured.“Welcome back.”Maids passing through the corridor dipped into curtsies, skirts rustling in a practiced ripple. Their expressions remained warm, ordinary, unconcerned. No tightening around the eyes. No whispering mouths. No flicker of suspicion.Relief slid through me like a slow exhale.I hadn’t realized how tightly I’d been coiled until that moment—how much tension I’d carried since leaving Peter’s home, expecting every step to reveal that I’d been exposed. That the disaster at the pack had already spread. That someone here had heard.But the palace felt the same. Too calm. Too pristine. Too ignorant.My shoulders loosened a fraction as I moved forward, forcing my gait in

  • Nemesis Of The Lycan Triplets   worried

    ADAMSage’s absence sat in my chest like ice.Even with the mate bond humming steadily between us—even with the steady, undeniable proof that she was alive, strong, unbroken—I couldn’t shake the tension coiled in my spine.She was still out there. Alone.I could feel her through the bond: a fierce, focused presence, a mind burning with purpose. Every so often, a soft tug brushed against my awareness—a silent reassurance. Don’t worry. I’m fine.But I worried anyway. I always would.I wanted to go after her. Wanted to abandon the council hall, shift, and run until the world blurred, until I found her. Wanted to stand at her side the way I should have from the beginning.Instead, I stood in the council hall, surrounded by power that could shatter kingdoms.Twenty Ancients filled the chamber, their presence bending the air around them. They were fewer than the vampires we’d faced—far fewer—but they had been enough to slaughter over sixty attackers in a single, brutal wave.Their strength

    SAGEI watched Peter rub a hand through his hair for what felt like the hundredth time, his confusion etched into every line of his face, and the weight of my choices settled on me all over again.This man had been my father in more ways than blood. He had raised me. Protected me. Believed in me when I hadn’t even believed in myself.And I had repaid him by aligning with vampires.The shame burned. What had I done?Why hadn’t I listened?Why had I let revenge drag me past every warning sign, past every instinct, past the unmistakable stench of rot that clung to the vampires?I had worked with them. Laughed with them. Watched them kill humans in front of me—and done nothing.The memory made my stomach twist.Was that what blind revenge did to a person? Did it empty you out so thoroughly that you stopped recognizing right from wrong?I hated the feeling. Loathed it.I wished—fiercely—that I could rewind time. Make different choices. Say no. Walk away. Burn the path before it led me to t

    SAGEMy mouth parted in shock.For a heartbeat, the words Diana had just spoken didn’t register. They hovered in the air, unreal, absurd—like the last echo of a nightmare that refused to fade.Then I laughed.The sound tore out of me, loud, almost violent. It startled even me. The laughter scraped my throat as it spilled, sharp enough to shake loose the remnants of the gray void, the dust, the phantom thirst that still clung to my senses. I could almost taste it—the dryness, the static, the echo of that strange in-between place. And I laughed harder, as though I could dislodge the dream entirely if I just kept going.Diana beamed at me, misunderstanding everything.“Right?” she said brightly, leaning forward, eyes gleaming. “I can’t wait to give those three fools death for what they did to you. Or have you done that already?”Her words sliced straight through my chest.I shook my head, still laughing, lifting a hand to wave her off. “Stop,” I said, though the word tangled with the la

    SAGE“How do you feel, Sage?”The voice echoed inside my head, too close, too intimate to belong to the world I knew. And it was familiar, yet unfamiliar at the same time.It wasn’t Darius. And it wasn’t Adam. It was someone else… a woman. Yet, not Makeh.My eyes fluttered open, one lagging behind the other as confusion wrapped thickly around me. For a heartbeat, I thought I was still in Peter’s living room—still slumped on the couch, waiting, listening, breathing in the familiar.But that wasn’t where I was.The couch was gone. Everything was gone.I lay suspended in a gray void, an endless stretch of nothingness that pulsed faintly, like static trapped between worlds. The air looked dry—felt dry—dust particles floating aimlessly, catching on no light source I could identify. It reminded me of an abandoned joint unit, the kind sealed off for decades, stale and forgotten. My throat burned instantly. I was thirsty. Achingly so.I tried to swallow and failed.Panic stirred immediately.

    SAGEI heard them before I reached the barren lands. Sounds clawing at me.The ancient blood in me did that, allowing my ears to tremble with it; something that had no mercy in how clearly it perceived suffering, it stripped away the option of ignorance.Darius had been right then.Cries that were no longer voices, screams that had forgotten language, wails stretched thin by torment. Souls, Darius had said. Souls the Queen had chained between worlds, refusing them passage because she was still feeding on what little essence remained of them. Draining them. Hoarding them. Using their agony like fuel.I slowed, then stopped altogether at the edge of the land.The ground here was wrong—I’ve always known, but seeing it through fresh eyes was something else.It was ashen and cracked, as though the earth itself had tried to crawl away and failed. The air smelled like rot and old magic, like grief that had soaked too deeply into stone to ever be scrubbed clean. My chest tightened painfully
