When the nurse mind-linked me and told me that Enya had woken up, I was ready to tear the whole pack to pieces to get to her. But when she told me that the human girl was sitting against the wall like a scared cub and wouldn't let anyone but Aros and me near her, something inside me snapped. I've never felt so threatened in my life as I did at that moment. I ran like a madman down the stairs and towards the hospital. As I got closer to the room, I knew something had changed. Out of nowhere, I noticed a delicious smell that drew me closer and closer. The growl escaped my lips before I could stop it. It was not until I was in her room that I understood where the scent was coming from- Enya. Now that there was no wolfsbane in her system, her scent changed, but at the same time, she seemed weaker than ever. Her face was pale, and even from a distance, I could see that she wouldn't be able

Vincent povSitting down and admitting my feelings feels surreal. I'm not the man to talk about such things, especially when I look like a whole mess. I don't let anyone, especially Aros, see me when I appear weak or broken. As an Alpha, I have to be on top of everything, yet I feel like I'm breaking in half since Enya came along. There are two sides of me now, and each wants something completely different. The Alpha wants answers, and Vincent wants to experience happiness, even if it's only for a ridiculously short time.I hate this human part of me that is still far too naive to understand that there is no happy ending for me. I'm caught up in the idea of having a mate because it's been eleven years since I should have met her or him. I wouldn't care if the Moon Goddess would pair me up with a man, as long as we loved and respected each other as equals.

Enya pov The nap did me good, that's for sure. I feel like a whole new, much stronger person. Whatever those shifter doctors did to me, they must be miracle workers because I've never felt as good as I do today. I take my time stretching my limbs and breathing in the scent that surrounds me. I have no idea what kind of perfume Vincent uses, but it's the best I have come across so far. It's a blend of leather, coffee, and musk, and while I never thought it would work- it does. Perfectly. I'll have to ask him what it is or find the fragrance bottle and buy it when I get home. I'm a creep, and I'm not ashamed of it because I'm going to spray my bedsheets with it and enjoy the scent to the fullest. Home. I miss it. I miss the people, and I miss my father. But I hate that I feel like I'm on cloud nine while I lay in Vincent's bed, knowing that my father is out looking fo

Vincent pov I've made many mistakes in my life, and some of them I can't forgive myself for. But everything I do today feels so right. Even if it's a mistake in a few days, weeks, or months, I will cherish the memories I have made. No matter how hard I try to remind myself who Enya is, I don't feel like she will ever be a mistake. She couldn't be at all. Calling her my mate feels better than anything I've ever said. I know the odds are fifty-fifty. No one knows until the day comes. But unfortunately, I know how I feel, and if I found out she wasn't actually my mate, I'd be disappointed. It's funny how so little time with her has changed so many of my thoughts. Before her, I hated them all with passion. As I threw that asshat against the wall, I felt something I hadn't felt in a long time- pride i

Enya povI stare at Vincent, and all I can do is blink. Blink like an idiot trying to process important information but can't understand anything, no matter how hard I try. "Us," he said. Has there ever been such a thing as us? As a joke, perhaps, as a way to get rid of his weirdly obsessive step-sister, definitely. But in private? Has there ever been anything like that? Has either of us ever shown any real feelings or interest in each other? And I mean genuine interest, flirting, and all those things people do when they are into someone. He kissed me to prove a point. That snake Angela or her daughter probably sneaks past the bedroom door, and that's why Vincent kissed me as soon as we stepped into his bedroom.I'm so confused; I don't know what to say or what the appropriate response should be. Did he mean it? Or is this another joke? My eyes sear
Red Riding Hood Killed A Wolf CHAPTER FIFTY ONE
Vincent pov I've never tried so hard to make anyone believe in my words. Everything I said, I mean it. Sure, I could do my best to stay away from her and act like a fucking asshole towards her, but I couldn't sleep or live with myself every time I tried to do that. The look on her face kept running through my mind, and no matter how hard I tried to ignore it, it kept coming back. At the end of the day, I know I have feelings for her, and I can't deny those. Enya was right when she said we were enemies. We shouldn't be together. But even though I've tried to push that thought away, I've managed to develop feelings for someone who's supposed to be my prey. I'm the predator, and she should be my victim, the one who falls from my claws. But I can't do that. I can't hurt her and pretend I don't care.
Red Riding Hood Killed A Wolf CHAPTER FIFTY TWO
Vincent povI smile at the shock on Angela's face. It's been a while since I last saw her lose her temper, and each time it's been more than amusing. I enjoy watching this woman seethe with rage and grit her teeth, especially when she has no control over the situation that made her angry. And right now, she can’t do a thing, because I am the one making the decisions. She's welcome to try and give me advice, not that I'll ever listen, but Angela can't do anything when it comes to my love life. I'm going to fuck whoever I want. And it definitely won't be her daughter. After all, I'm in a serious, committed relationship now.She stomps her feet on the hardwood floor and glares at me. "You're planning on letting this human carry your pups? Have you lost your mind? Vincent, my son, please reconsider! This is beyond outrageous. She has brainwashed y
Red Riding Hood Killed A Wolf CHAPTER FIFTY THREE
Enya povMy cheeks burn; I feel like all the blood running through my body will end up in my face. I hide behind Vincent as the shirt is rolled up, and I don't want anyone here to see me half-naked. Besides, something tells me way too many shifters would ask me about my scars. And that's not a topic I want to talk to anyone about; if anything, I'd rather forget the fact and keep hiding it. The Alliance has always said that scars make a man look like a real man, but they have never mentioned women. I believe that scars don't make me beautiful; they are a part of my journey- the ugly, vicious and inhuman journey. They are a constant reminder of what I have done, of the horrible crimes I committed.I think Vincent realises how uncomfortable I am, so he doesn't budge. "Aros, can you do me a favour and leave my office for a few minutes? I'll let
Red Riding Hood Killed A Wolf CHAPTER FIFTY FOUR
Vincent povSince my oh-so-wonderful Beta lost a requisite stack of documents, we have been sitting in the file room for about three hours. We have checked every drawer, every shelf, and even underneath. And nothing. I needed these documents to form an alliance with another pack, but I guess that will have to wait until tomorrow. It's already too late for me to call Alpha Brandon and ask him to send new copies here. He's a mated man with a pup on the way; I can't be the ignorant douchebag who keeps him away from his family.Besides, finally, I have someone waiting for me to finish work. I have dreamed of this day, but I never thought it would actually come. Dreams don't come true as often as we'd like, so I consider myself lucky. Having Enya and being able to call her mine is more than I could have dreamed. And actually, just having her by m

Red Riding Hood Killed A Wolf EPILOGUE
ENYAA week ago we got married. I didn't wear the traditional white dress. Instead, one of the Omegas made a beautiful fire pattern dress for me to pay my respects to my father and his tribe.There were too many people around for us to end the evening on a somewhat quiet note. His father walked me down the aisle, Aros was Vince's best man, and my mother helped Brent care for their newborn daughter. My little girl was given the honour of being the flower girl. Yes, we chose to adopt- the child that grew closest to me. We adopted Bella, and since that day, we have been an official family. I think it all worked out for the best- all three of us were robbed of family and found each other when we needed it most.Vince and I decided we don't need a honeymoon- our

Enya povIf it hadn't been for that lovely lady, I wouldn't have been able to accept the news as fast as I did. Everything the pack doctor told me felt like a punch below the belt. Still, I'm glad she told me the truth and offered to tell me more about the history of werewolves. If Mother Nature decided I couldn't have children, so be it.The only person I'm really worried about is Vince. He was at the hospital and stormed off as soon as the doctor told him everything. It's been hours since Aros tried to mind-link him and about thirty minutes since Aros left the packhouse. I hope he finds him as soon as possible and drags this stubborn man home. Vince needs to sit down with me and talk. And while I know the news hurts him- there are some things in life we can't change. And this, unfortunately, is one of them.
Red Riding Hood Killed A Wolf CHAPTER HUNDRED TWENTY ONE
Vincent povI'm lost.So fucking desperate for an answer. Or at least for someone to jump around the corner with a camera in hand, yelling "jokes on you".I've been wandering the woods for hours. I don't have it in me to go back to Enya and break her beyond repair. Although she dreaded the possibility of pregnancy, I know she wanted to be a mother later. Neither of us ever had a real family, and now we have no chance to start our own.I hoped that getting some fresh air would help me think, but it doesn't. All I can picture is the pain in her eyes when she encounters a pregnant pack member or one of those kids. Enya is stuck in a place that will constantly remind her of everything she will never have.

Vincent pov Before I leave Enya in the bedroom, I check her forehead to make sure she doesn't have a fever. The fact that she has heat after such a short period of time from the previous one is strange. I have many responsibilities, and I should discuss a few things with Melinda, but instead of getting to work, I take a detour to the hospital. As soon as I open the door, I see a bunch of nurses. They all stop and wait for me to acknowledge them, but I won't. Not because I don't respect them, but these women gave away their plan without thinking that I might hear these rumours. The nurses and some Omegas decided to find out how loyal I am to my mate and basically tried to set up their Luna. I'll deal with them later, now- I'm a man on a mission. I walk past the nur

Enya povI'm speechless. As I stare back at those pitch-black eyes, I forget how to breathe. I notice a shift between the colours in his eyes-Vince is fighting back, but I doubt his wolf will let him have the upper hand. Now that the beast has the upper hand, he'll use it for the alone time he's been trying to get for so long.Damian reaches for the faucet and turns off the water. I don't expect much from a wolf; he's supposed to run on all fours and be an animal, but to my surprise, he acts kind of human. He steps out of the shower, holds my hand as I follow, and reaches for a towel. Though I assume he'd need it, Damian wraps it around my body and grabs another to dry me off."Mate can't walk wet, will catch a cold." He mumbles to himself once again, surprising me so much that I can't beli

Enya povHer words make sense, so do her intentions, but deep down, I'm hurt beyond repair.All my life, I've been nothing more than a puppet in someone's hands, and it was foolish of me to think that would stop. It wouldn't. Sooner or later, someone would find a way to use me as they pleased. The same as my newfound mother did.She can tell me she had only good intentions, but I heard what she said. I heard her claim that she wanted to hear those screams. To me, it sounds more like she desired revenge more than anything else. Maybe we'll get closer and learn to understand each other after a while, but I need time to get there."Vince, can you please walk me to the bedroom? I need some alone time," I don't look at my

Vincent povI accompany Melinda to the kitchen and show her where she can find anything to her liking. Like her daughter, she complains that she is allergic to basil, which makes sense.However, a few details confuse me, and I hope Melinda has the answers I'm seeking. "Melinda, can I ask you a few questions?" I turn to her, but I see half of her body peeking out from behind the refrigerator door.She closes the door and grins at me. Melinda's mouth is covered in frosting. Yeah, a true lady there. I roll my eyes, and my attitude doesn't go unnoticed. "Sure thing, Pussysaurus-Rex." She bursts out laughing. "Sorry, I couldn't resist the temptation to use that brilliant nickname. And don't look at me like that; I've been complaining about being hungry for weeks- my prayers have be

Enya povMy hands tremble, my grip on Vince's hand tightens to the point where I feel him flinch in surprise. But a moment later, I push my mate away from me and free myself from his grip. Step by step, I move closer to his cell. Though Vince is doing his best to hold me back, there will be no end to the suffering of those who hurt me. Starting with the man who pretended to be my father."Vince, Melinda," I whisper, but apparently, I'm loud enough to get their attention. I can't look at my mother, nor can I address her as such. I have no right to do so- I killed the man she loved, I slaughtered my own father and spilt his blood like a pig. If anything, I have no right to be near her, so I cast my gaze to the dirty floor. "I need you both out of here. Please," my voice breaks and tears run down my cheeks as memories flood my mind. Both of the

Vincent povMelinda hasn't changed a bit. She's still the same loving and bubbly personality I remember her to be.On our way to the packhouse, I keep throwing glances at Enya. She's visibly anxious, and while her mother keeps asking questions, the only moment my mate speaks up is to answer a question. She doesn't ask her own questions, though I know she has many. Perhaps in time, I'm sure Enya needs a moment or two to get used to the situation. After all, it's not every day that your dead mother comes back to life and appears in front of you. I couldn't blame Enya because I would react the same way.After a moment of awkward silence, Melinda turns her attention to me. "Vincent, how is your father? It's been a while since I last met Roma. Oh, and I'm sorry about your ste
