As soon as I silently closed the door shut, Lorelei suddenly hugged me tight, much to my surprise.“Do you have any idea how worried I was?” I heard her ask, her voice a little shaky. “I really feared for the worst when I saw you gone from that cage.”I widened my eyes at those words, now realizing
Drake’s POVIf anyone was to ask me if I was feeling nervous, the answer would be ‘no’. No, I was not feeling nervous. No, I am not feeling fidgety over seeing Nex again after so long. No, I was not shocked to see her with kids, who bear some resemblance to my half-brother.But of course, like any p
And so, after replacing the advisors and sending away some of the more dangerous criminal werewolves we had locked up in the dungeon, it has been nothing but peaceful in the kingdom. Sometimes Garon would come to make surprise visits, but so far, it was all just small talk; nothing that seemed dange
Nex’s POVThanks to Drake’s offer, the next day, I left the castle with Kora and his few trusted wolves. They who did not mind me being a white wolf, or so they claimed, anyway. As planned in the prior day, now that Kora and I have additional, reliable help, we were going to go back to the human wor
As for the workers themselves… The human portion were all shocked and befuddled with what happened at the debate. Speechless that their boss was not who they thought he was, for the most part. As for the werewolf workers… Although they acted just as innocent as Dylan did, many of them had been linki
I didn’t know what I was thinking, coming to Avalon Park late at night, without a plus one of any kind. Did I get sleep deprived to actually agree to this meeting so easily? Have I unknowingly given up on all other forms of legal means to help Beowulf? Become so desperate to take other measures at t
In any case, I really do owe White an apology. She was right about this whole thing being a trap, and yet I ignored her.‘White? White, are you there?’ I linked.‘Ow… Yeah, I’m here,’ she answered, to my relief. I didn’t want her to be forced to sleep on me again. ‘I told you this was a trap. Now lo
Raina’s POVYes, YES! That face! That is the exact expression I wanted to see~ The disbelief that the one person who has her captive being the very one who has been a thorn to her side. Who tried to ruin her life the first time around! And that is but a start~“Raiha… Why are you here?” she began to
“Nex… I have something to confess to you,” he said, raising more of my confusion, which then turned to fear. Did something happen while I was away for two years? Beowulf licked his lips for a moment, moisturizing them with his saliva, before continuing to speak. “I… In these past two years, I couldn
Nex’s POVWith the interrogation done, Helio and I made our way back to Beowulf and Helix, holding hands as we walked. The questions weren’t so difficult; just asking about how I was treated, what was Helio’s connection with the mafia and his life there, and what our connection was. All I was worrie
“If you can believe that, then yes.” I grew even more lost by the response, in which she seemed to have noticed. “Beowulf, a lot has happened in this kingdom while we were gone. One of them being Drake and Garon’s… relationship. So to say.”“How do you mean?” I questioned.“Well… They’re close, you
Nex’s POVI wasn’t sure what happened or why… One moment, Zeke appeared with Helix in his hold, threatening to take his life. The next we knew, he killed Raiha, and gave her as much comfort as he could in her passing. “Mom!” I was snapped out of my stupor upon hearing Helix call for me, as I turned
“Dad is already on his way to Mom, isn’t he? If they see him with me, they will think that mafia leader won. Even the leader will think that, if she is that crazy for revenge. And she will definitely try something horrible to Mom and Dad, without having to worry about what they will do. If he brings
Zeke’s POVHow do I feel about what just happened? About what I just did. I doubt it would be pride; what was there to be prideful about in this situation?I was just standing in the woods, with a gun in my hand, and one of my target in my other hand. One look at the situation before me- of Raiha co
“You already had a destined mate. Only you used him as a tool he wasn’t. Took advantage of his love for you,” I pointed out, causing her to flinch at the reminder. “As if that wasn’t enough, you tried to kill a fellow werewolf just to get what you want. You let your own father- a respectable Alpha-
Beowulf’s POVAfter I briefly met with the captain and told him that I knew where Raiha went, I left the matter of the hideout to him and his team, who arrived not long after we did. At first, he tried to either get me to stay or join me to get Raiha, but I managed to convince him otherwise. Tell hi
At first I wasn’t able to process the words that came out of her mouth. Not with the pain I was experiencing. However, slowly, I caught on to the meaning behind it, and looked up at her. “W-Wait… You promised… you wouldn’t hurt them!” I managed to shout.“Only so long as you be live feed for the bra
