Alaric.I hadn’t expected to reject Cara so suddenly. Everything with Lilia unfolded so fast, and I needed to do something to call a truce between the two she-wolves before things got really ugly.I didn’t know it would hurt so damn bad. My chest feels like it’s both caving in and exploding out at t
CaraAlaric’s face is a thundercloud, his brows knitted in a scowl that speaks of a tempest of emotions raging within. His eyes, usually so composed, are now a stormy mix of confusion and… something else.It looks like…Could it be jealousy?It’s a side of him I’ve never seen before. A shiver zaps do
I ran. Sheer surprise was the only way to break free from Alaric’s grip....One thing had become crystal clear to me:I had to get away from Alpha King Alaric.AlaricI almost ran after her.My wolf, Grey, was screaming at me to follow her. A big part of me wanted to, but a much larger part knew it’
CaraThe apartment Alaric and I shared looks the same as it did a few days ago, but somehow everything has changed.“You’ve changed,” my wolf Lucy says gently in my head.“I had no choice.”Grabbing my suitcases, I look through the items deciding what to take. The expensive clothes, designer watches
My Beta, Walter, cleared his throat, subtly alerting me to his presence.“Sorry, Walter. I hope the wait wasn’t too long.” I usually tried my best to avoid long hours for the old man. Walter had been my father’s Beta before me, and he had an unwavering loyalty to Pack BloodyMoon that I had to respe
AlaricA few days later.“I have news about Cara Wilson, sir.”My Gamma, George knocks on my office door. I gesture for him to enter and close the door behind him. “Well? Have you heard who fathered her child?” I return to signing the documents in front of me while he speaks.“Not exactly. I have i
CaraThey say distraction is the best way to navigate through a hard time.I’m not sure the people who say that ever had to deal with planning their former Fate Mate’s wedding.But there’s so many tasks to complete. I found a hotel even more luxurious than the proposal site to host the wedding. My d
I walk backwards away from the door, weighing my options and whether I should report this to the Alpha King directly.I don’t get very far in my thinking when Lilia passes through the doorway and spots me immediately.Her eyes are size of dinnerplates, wide and wild.When she speaks, her voice is li
* “Just leave, Alaric. Just go,” Cara replies softly. Her voice is filled with sorrow. * Her words keep popping up in my mind. I'm lost in my thoughts, driving to my Alpha villa. Six years ago, I was more used to having a driver take me places...but after spending time with Cara, I grew to
Eamon’s POV I answer the phone as soon as I see Cara’s assitant's name on the screen. “King… You need to come… quickly. We’re close to the border, in DarkWood…” Her signal seems really bad. The voice keeps breaking up. “We’re on our way.” I ask her as I rush down the hall towards the garage. A
She must be Cara’s child. But my children with Cara miscarried long ago. The gravestones I placed for them still stand near the site of the car accident in Pack DarkWood, and I visit them every year... So, these two children must be Cara’s—just not mine. She‘s mom now. She finally has that f
Alaric’s POV I can’t believe it. It’s her. It's Cara. After all these years…this is our first reunion. A trace of fear still lingers on Cara’s face. Her cheek is scraped, a streak of blood visible on her skin. Yet, even like this, she still looks stunning. I find myself captivated by her—h
The skin on my face stings and burns, and I realize I must’ve scraped it against the pavement. I feel something wet on my cheek and realize with terror that it must be blood. My blood. My blind date’s laughter rings in my ears, mean and chilling. He walks up to where I lay on the ground, and one
Cara’s POV I feel slightly better after the phone call with Ruby and the kids, but I’m still feeling a bit uneasy as I return to the table where my blind date is sitting. This definitely doesn't feel like a good sign... I once discussed with my assistant how to handle a situation if a date tur
Cara’s POV I head to the date feeling a little nervous. Thankfully, I don’t see Alaric or Eamon’s car on the way. Maybe they’re already gone. This blind date is going surprisingly well compared to the others, but somehow something feels off. The man sitting across from me at the restaurant tab
Alaric said, “Of course I remember. But it doesn’t matter anyway. I’ve realized something…” He trailed off again, looking into the distance. Here’s the revised line with the added question: “Well, spit it out then. Don’t leave us in suspense…” Ryan said with a sarcastic yawn. “What, did you on
Aidan’s POV “No!” Cara stares at my brother and eye. “I haven’t seen Alaric in six years, I promise!” Ryan and I narrow our eyes at her, a little skeptical at first, then both of our faces relax when we realize Cara’s telling the truth. “Now tell me more about this meeting you had with Pack Da
