Adam's hands on my waist, before I could move away from him, sent a rush of conflicting emotions coursing through me.

I wanted to push him away, to scream at him for what he had done, but at the same time, I couldn't deny the familiar warmth that spread through my body at his touch.

It had been so long since I had felt his hands on me, and a part of me had missed it, had craved it, despite everything.

At the party, I had been on drugs, a drug that had heightened my anger, and control over my emotions. But now, at this moment, when Adam’s explanations were contraindicating to mine, I was confused.

As his lips brushed against my neck in a soft kiss, I felt a wave of nostalgia wash over me. It was like stepping back in time, to a time when things were simpler, when I still believed in us. But reality came crashing back as I remembered the pain and betrayal he had caused me.

Should I deny myself this moment of weakness? Should I deny the part of me that still longed for him, that still

  • 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

  • Nemesis Of The Lycan Triplets   carnage ii

    SAGEI tore through the pack like breath given purpose.Mist wrapped around me, my body dissolving into vapor and intent as I slipped between trees and rooftops, through wards and shadows, moving too fast for eyes to follow. The night rushed past in fragments—stone, iron, blood, fire—yet my mind burned hotter than any of it.The Queen.The realization clawed at me with every passing second.Claire had not learned that magic by accident—she had been the telling the truth in that regard at least. I had seen it in her mind—the precision, the structure, the discipline behind her spells. That kind of power was not born in secrecy or desperation. It was taught.The Queen had trained her. When? I did not know. But the truth tasted bitter on my tongue.How dare she?How dare that woman touch another life, mold it into a blade, and aim it at me while wearing the mask of inevitability? I had thought I was using her. Thought I was clever, strategic, exacting my revenge with cold intelligence.
