ELISE'S POV The week had gone by quickly. The good thing about it was that fact that I was finally settling into a routine at the palace. It felt strange, being here, in a place that wasn’t my home but was starting to feel familiar. Jade was her usual grumpy self as she helped me prepare for the
FERRIS' POV I rubbed my temple, trying to ignore the mounting frustration as Alpha Pretel Rodriguez—better known as Alpha Rod—stared back at me. His arms were crossed and his jaw was set in a stubborn expression. The old Alpha’s graying hair, thick beard, and stubborm face made him look as immova
FERRIS' POV The negotiations had gone better than I expected. Alpha Rod was stubborn at first but after what happened with Elise and his grandson, he was ready to make the deal. As I looked through the final document, my mind wandered, drifting to Elise. I hoped she was alright. I was supposed to
ALEXANDRA'S POV I sat in the meeting, barely hearing a word. My thoughts were elsewhere, locked on the one person who had somehow managed to worm her way into Ferris’s good books: Elise. A stranger. An outsider. She had no place here, yet she had Ferris’s attention, something I had tried and failed
ELISE'S POV I was pleasantly surprised when Alexandra arrived at my door that evening. She wasn’t one for unnecessary small talk. When she told me that I’d been rewarded with a meeting with the council, I almost didn’t believe her. It felt like a breakthrough—like maybe, just maybe, I was finally b
FERRIS' POV When Elise walked into the council room, I could hardly believe what I was seeing. She was wearing something so provocative, so unlike her usual modest self. The dress — if you could even call it that — was practically see-through, clinging to every curve of her body. I had to use every
"Ferris, please," she begged breathlessly. "I need you..." Her pleading inflamed me further. I slid my hand between her thighs, groaning when I felt how wet she was for me. I slowly circled her clit with my thumb and then, I slipped two fingers inside her tight heat. "Oh gosh," Elise cried out, he
ELISE'S POV I could feel the excitement and nervousness coursing through my veins as Ferris carried me all the way to his room. The moment of passion we had in the boardroom was unbelievable. I had never felt like that with Jackson. It was as if Ferris and I were made for each other. Ferris final
JOAN’S POVThe stench of iron burned the inside of my nostrils.My wrists throbbed from the tightness of the enchanted shackles, and the cold stone beneath me did nothing to soothe the ache in my bones. Rats squealed somewhere nearby, likely celebrating the scent of blood left from the last mad soul
FERRIS’ POVElise was at my side, holding me and kissing my cheek. I couldn’t help but laugh. I was so happy to be in her arms again.I touched her stomach “How’s our future king doing?’Elise pouted “It’s a girl”“Please, don’t start” Eden said with a sigh “You’re gonna make me miss Sophia”We laug
FERRIS' POV Everything changed as soon as Farrell walked in. Damn him, he always knew how to make an entrance. He held a drive in his gloved hand—small, silver,. But the weight of it? I could already tell it was heavy enough to shake kingdoms. “Farrell,” I called “What’s this?” He looked up at
FERRIS' POV. “Alpha,” Eden’s voice was barely a whisper as he stood behind me. I didn't even remember that he was present. That's how occupied I've been “Tell me you have a plan. Please.” I turned to him. The exhaustion in my bones was so heavy I could barely shake my head. “I have nothing,” I wh
FERRIS’ POVThe chamber was colder than I remembered. Not just in temperature—but in energy.The council members murmured in their seats. The place was filled with gathered council members, warriors, nobles, and guards. Everyone important in the pack was present. Everyone’s eyes were on me.I sat at
FERRIS’ POV The third day was almost there. My hands were stained with papers. My mind was fogged with dead ends. The desk in front of me was cluttered—maps, lists of names, flight records, surveillance screenshots, scribbled notes that barely made sense anymore. I raked my fingers through my hair
ELISE’S POVThe forest swallowed us whole as Farrell hauled the assassin forward. The bastard wouldn't stop squirming. "You think dragging me through the woods like some animal will make me talk?" Spit flew from his mouth. "You're wasting your time!"I rolled my shoulders. "Shut up."He laughed—right until Farrell's fist cracked across his jaw. The snap of bone echoed between the trees. The assassin choked, blood dripping from his split lip. Before he could scream, Farrell stuffed a rag in his mouth."Quiet," Farrell growled.The man's glare could've melted steel, but at least he shut up. I caught up to Farrell, my boots sinking into damp earth. "Where are we—""You'll see." He didn't look back.The trees grew thicker, branches clawing at my arms. My pulse hammered in my throat. Then I saw it—a jagged mouth of rock yawning open in the hillside. The cave exhaled a breath of something rotten.I pressed a hand to my stomach. Bad energy coiled around this place like a snake.Farrell plung
FERRIS’ POVJoan entered the roomShe bowed her head at me. “You summoned me, Alpha?”Before I could respond, an elder spoke up “You were seen with Elder Marcus late at night. In your room. Alpha Ferris himself bore witness to this.”The other council members murmured among themselves. Joan’s eyes w
ELISE’S POVI stared at the man before us. His body was restrained. His face was bruised and swollen due to the beating Farrell and Henry had given him, yet I could see a hint of arrogance in his eyes. He looked at us like he had already won. He sat in the chair, bound with thick chains. His pants
