APRIL Of course, Nick was next to make his case. He didnโt hesitate to wrap his hand around my neck and turn it towards him, parting my lips with his thumb and letting it pad along my lower lip in a way that made my pussy throb.โThe thought of being the only men alive that have ever had the privilege of touching these lips, kissing them, fucking themโฆ. Thatโs all weโre after, and youโre just as excited by the dark devotion we have for you,โ Nick bit his lower lip teasingly and I couldnโt help the moan that slipped my lips. โIโฆ Iโm not,โ I said shakily, the feeling of Ace and Xander grinding their erections against me making me dizzy with desire.Could they just fuck me already? I needed them to fuck me until that deliciously dark part of me that their possessiveness appealed to came to the surface. โLetโs find out then, Princess.โThe next moment, Ace was ripping the skirt around my waist and shoving two thick fingers into my pussy, making me scream out, my eyes widening and my w

BROOKE Luna Davenportโs words rang in my head repeatedly. Sheโd easily renewed my motivation by sharing that her and Aceโs fatherโs union wasnโt a peaceful process either. Iโd always assumed that Ace was one of the few alpha heirs that were against being in an arranged marriage, but after hearing about her experience, I realized that wasnโt the case. In fact, I did a deep dive research on arranged marriages throughout history in the library after I left the hospital and I learned that most powersful Alphas were too stubborn to concede the hopes of having a love marriage or a mated marriage that could strengthen their reign. Eventually, they all caved, every single alpha in history whose prospective Luna kept on fighting for the marriage to happen ended up caving at some point.And now that I knew that, I was more fired up to go after Ace again and claim what was rightfully mine to begin with. Besides, Iโd given him more than enough time to play house with that worthless whore. Wh

BROOKE Anthony walked to the water dispenser on one end of my office and poured me some room temperature water in one of the glass cups and brought it to me. โDrink some water and then Iโll answer all your questions, I promise,โ his warm smiles and the constant twinkle in his eyes whenever he was around me finally made complete sense as he handed me the glass of water.I murmured a โthanksโ and gulped down about half of the glassโs contents. โYouโre in love with me? Howโs that possible? How havenโt I noticed?โ I wasted no time rolling out the questions as soon as the dryness in my throat vanished. โI doubt Iโve ever hidden it,โ he chuckled, โIโve always assumed that I was doing a shitty job at concealing my feelings because theyโve only grown stronger by the day.โโYouโre everything Iโve always wanted in a woman. Youโre a brillaint and creative woman. Youโre hardworking and resilient. Youโre confident and well-spoken, and you light up every space you walk into,โ he confessed, maki

BROOKEI tucked the last wad of crisp hundred dollar bills into my birkin bag, adjusting my thickly framed sunglasses over my face before walking away from the ATM.Five hundred fucking thousand dollars, to be the next Luna Jackson. I snorted at the thought, strutting towards my car while the weight of the cash weighed down my left arm that the bag was strapped over. The further I walked, the more it seemed like that money wasnโt worth spending to be Aceโs wife. What Iโd much rather spend it on is a vacation to every island on the planet where I can drink countless cocktails and shake my ass on yatches. Unlike the thought of marrying Ace, that fantasy brought a huge smile to my face and sent excitement flooding through me endlessly. I didnโt let the fantasy linger though, because all it would do is make me bitter when I eventually came to the obvious conclusion that I would never be privy to such bliss. A hiss slipped my lips as that harsh realization sliced through me and I yank

BROOKEI froze in place, going over a sensible response in my head and being unable to find any that didnโt make me seem like a crazed person. So, I chose to lie. โI love Ace, and I believe that we belong together, so Iโll do anything to make him realize that as well, even if it means eliminating the woman whoโs feeding him nothing but lies and delusions,โ I answered, nearly gagging when I said the wordsโฆ I love Ace. Of course I didnโt love him, heโd never given me a reason to even like him. But that didnโt mean I wouldnโt marry him anyways, love had nothing to do with the power and fulfillment I stood to gain by marrying him. โYou hate his guts. I donโt even need my powers to figure that out, thereโs an undertone in your words that easily gives it away,โ she saw through my lie without trying.โIt doesnโt matter, heโs mine,โ I bit out, unable to think up a better comeback. โI can tell that this marriage isnโt something you want. Itโs something you think you need to do to be wort

ACEShe didnโt respond, but the deafening silence told a dreadful tale.โWhat the fuck? April! Can you hear me?โ Xander asked despite the sinking hole that was now piercing through the mateโs bond, answering his ask. She couldnโt hear him. She wasnโt near. She was gone. โYouโre scaring us April, where are you? Speak!โ Nick was even far more deeply rooted in denial than Xander judging from how hopeful he seemed to hear her speak. Why did they choose to act oblivious? The mate bond was telling us more than enough, that our mate had left a gaping void in the space she was meant to occupy because she wasnโt near and she was in danger. I was about to put an end to their annoying delusions when the dark fog clouding over visions mysteriously faded. And April was nowhere to be found.We all got off the floor in a frenzy, equally panicked and confused about what had just happened. It was the strangest fucking abduction either of us had ever witnessed and what was even scarier was the fa

ACEโSheโs exhaled an unhealthy amount of dark energy and we just need to get her out of her so that she can expel it from her system. The longer weโre in this cave, the more weโre exposing her and ourselves to this nasty energy,โ Xenia said, already making her way towards the exit. โShit,โ I hissed. Nick threw April over his shoulder that very second and we all made our way out of the cave as quickly as we could and got back into the helicopter. As soon as we got off the ground, the sound of April coughing as she woke up made all of us turn our attention to her. โSheโs awake,โ Xander and I said in unison while Nick adjusted her over his body. Slowly, she opened her eyes, looking around with deep confusion, almost like she didnโt know who she was or who we were for the first few seconds.โApril, can you hear me?โ Nick asked her, worry etched deeply into his every word. April looked up at him blankly, but she made no move to respond, she just kept looking between us like she was

APRIL Iโd thrown enough punches to put Zeus to shame. The training sessions that my mates suggested had been an absolute blast for the past few days and I was genuinely having the time of my life. At first, I thought it would be exhausting and annoying, but it turned out to be the exact opposite. Each time they taught me a new move, I felt like weโd become somewhat closer, more knitted tightly as one. The eye-opening experience of being trained by them had somehow become a means of strengthening our bond and I loved every thrilling second of it. For combat, Xander was my trainer. He was a true warrior, in guidance and in demonstration. I loved how he helped me learn my body and how to manipulate my opponent into revealing their weaknesses before every move. When it came to perseverance exercises, Nick was the master at the time wheel. He taught me how to persevere through pain and get a hit in even when every muscle in my body was begging me to retreat. He taught me patience and

PROLOGUEAPRILโSandy, stop making your brother cry. You promised that you wouldn't do that today, remember?โ I groaned as my oldest child terrorized her little brother. She shrugged, laughing, the mischievous glint in her eyes matching that of one of her dads whose character sheโd inherited; Ace. โItโs so easy to make him cry, I promise I wasn't even trying. Iโm just being myself,โ she flipped her dark lush hair over her shoulders, the glossy and stunning sight also resembling that of her fathers. She was such a daddyโs girl that she took every last bit of her being from them; her drop dead gorgeous looks and her fearless, stubborn personality. According to her dads, she got her stubbornness from me and not them, but I refused to believe that. โSweetheart, putting a worm in your brotherโs shoe doesn't count as being yourself,โ Nick stifled laughter as he walked into the living room, dressed handsomely in suit that was identical to our son Samuelโs. โIโm a prankster and an anima

APRILโWell, itโs a good thing I know exactly where that asshole is,โ Nickโs mom said, the anger in her voice superseding his.At least Xeniaโs trip across the world had proven to be the answer to our problems. But now, we had yet another broken hearted mate to add to the mix, and just like me, the pain sprung from parental issues. However, there was no time to dwell on that. The moon goddess had given us an opportunity to reclaim the peace in our city, so we had to focus our all on that. After the city was secure, we'd find a way to tend to our broken hearts and find the emotional healing we all deserve.But for now, all that mattered was find Nickโs monster of a father and putting and end to his evil attacks. โAre you sure this is the place, mom?โ Nick asked as we pulled into the empty driveway of an abandoned factory in the middle of nowhere. โI'm certain. I'll never forget it because I traced his assets all over the city in a bid to uncover proof of his evil agenda, but he cau

APRILWe all followed behind him, running until we stopped outside what seemed to be a prison cell. There was a woman dressed in tattered clothes and covered in dust cowering in a corner and hugging her knees to her chest, and something about her was oddly familiar. My mates also seemed shocked by her presence, but not in the same way that I was. The look in their eyes told me that they knew something about this mystery woman that I didn't know. Before I could even ask about it, Nick grabbed the iron bars and broke them off with a deep growl before running into the cell and wrapping his arms around the woman. That? That was the most confusing thing Iโd ever witnessed. And I needed answers right now.I started to stomp towards the cell when Nick said a word that made me freeze in place, understanding washing over me in a thousand waves. โMom! Itโs you!โI blinked repeatedly, awfully confused. โMom?โ Ace and Xander looked away from the emotional reunion unfolding before us and nodd

APRILGlinda was confirmed to have been dead for good, but our hellish experiences still didn't cease after her death. Personally, I was still grieving my mother and the wonderful life I would've enjoyed with my parents if she hadn't swooped in and turned things upside down. My motherโs burial was an emotional moment for me and I broke down completely while delivering the eulogy. The guys even had to come upstage and keep from falling apart some more. The days that followed weren't any greener, especially with the dark void around the city worsening and swallowing us into a vortex while I was still grieving.Of course we were terribly confused as to why the spiritual attacks had carried on even after Glindaโs death, but no one had a reasonable answer to that. It was fucking frustrating having to watch people in pain almost every damn day. It sucked the humanity out of oneโs soul and replaced it with nothing but bitterness.

APRILโYou rotten lads, you couldnโt just mind your damn business? This is your fathersโ karma, why did you have to dig your stupid snotty noses in it?โ she hissed angrily, overly displeased that sheโd been found out by us.โWe should be asking the questions,โ I responded, upset that she hadnโt even made an effort to explain herself, โwe came here thinking this whole fiasco was orchestrated by Glinda, only to see that itโs you, mom?!โ The disappointment in my voice was thick, but she obviously didnโt give a shit about my feelings because she broke into hysterical laughter. โMom? Iโm not your fucking mom you idiotic little whore,โ she rolled her eyes, and then she snapped her fingers, causing her face and physical appearance to warp instantly. Suddnely, she was a silver-haired woman with countless ancient tattoos of the moon and a shiv stuck in her heart that told us more than we needed to know. Later on, the Alphas had given us a more detailed tale of the day they finally took dow

APRIL Itโs been almost a month of back to back horrors breaking out in the city.Weโd successfully chased the rogues out of the city and the sorceres were stationed alongside the armies by the borders, making sure that no more enemies were able to breach our defenses and get in.Heaps of bodies had been buried over the weeks and the entire town was reeking of grief. Loved ones were being mourned in different corners of the city were candles were lit beside framed photos and bouquets of flowers. Each photo of the dead that I saw brought me close to tears, but for childrenโs photos, my heart literally ached and felt like it was going to explode. Living in a place that was shrouded with pain and darkness was suffocating. Even though the sun came out each day, it felt like there was a dark void enveloping the city because everyone was in a sunken mood. We had to find Glinda and put an end to her attacks before the city was ruined beyond saving. Our search for her so far has proven fu

APRILThe ticking clock in the ICU waiting room was the only audible sound.Xander had been taken in for an emergency operation a while ago and we were still waiting to hear back from the doctors.When we arrived at the hospital, he was barely breathing, and it seemed like they mightโve stopped his heart for the surgery because I couldnโt feel even a shred of his presence through the bond. On our way to the hospital, weโd dropped Natalie at one of the safety bunkers where security and magic borders were keeping people safe. If she was here, sheโd have been a great distraction for me. And god, Iโd do anything to be distracted from this godawful unending pain. My chest fucking hurt. Every nerve in my body was on literal fire. My head was pounding as though a line up of high school bands were in a competition. All I could think of was the pitiful state weโd found Xander in a while ago. The way he looked helpless and near deathโs door. The way his blood was like a second skin masking

APRILThe city was a mess. A bloody one.โNatalie, stop using your fucking phone or youโre going to get us killed,โ I whispered to my best friend whose face was a mess of dry tears. She glared at me. โIf Iโm going to die, I need Hector to know that he was the best sex I ever had and I always wished we became more.โ I frowned at her, both disturbed and confused that sheโd picked that as the most important thing to put in order in a life and death situation. What a freaking clown.โNat, Iโve told you a thousand times, youโre not going to die,โ I bit out, โNick asked us to stay hidden here and heโll come get us, and I know he will.โI reminded her of the instruction weโd gotten almost an hour ago when chaos broke out in the city.Apparently, some rogues breached the cityโs gates and began to brutally attack every living thing in sight. They've been killing anything in their way and no one is exempt from their wrath.Not women. Not innocents. Not children. Not animals. It was a battle

XANDER Today, just like every other day for the last two weeks, weโd split up to search for Brooke. April was able to fully recover from the effects of the poison she was heartlessly fed by Brooke after a full day or more. Once we were certain that she was in a perfectly healthy state, we decided to go on a hunt for Brooke to make her pay for hurting our precious mate.No one seemed to know where she was. No one had seen her since she ran off that day. Even the city cameras had no footage of her since that day. It was almost like sheโd vanished into thin air after that day, but we refused to give up on our search.We even had the authorities officially interrogate everyone she knew, especially those she worked with at her modeling agency, but no one had any reasonable information to share with us that would narrow her search.Even her personal assistant only heard that she was missing from us, heโd assumed she was taking a mental health break when she didnโt come to the office for
