GINA'S POV I stood by the back laundry. My heart still raced, though I tried to calm it. My moment with Ferris replayed in my mind—his words, his touch, the way his eyes seemed to see straight through me. For so long, I’d wanted to be close to him. I’d dreamed of it, schemed for it. He was one of
ELISE'S POV The cell was... different this time After the attack I had, Ferris ensured that I was taken to a different cell. This one was much better. It wasn’t as dark or damp as my previous one, and the bedding was slightly softer. It also had less guards surrounding the place which made eve

ELISE'S POV The air felt heavy, like it was pressing down on my chest, making it harder to breathe. My heart raced, as I watched the guards lead Alexandra away. Her head hung low, but she didn’t resist. She didn’t scream or try to defend herself. The sight of her acceptance only made me surprised.

“So,” Sophie said after a while, breaking the silence. She touched my belly “How’s the baby?”I smiled “Fine”She leaned in slightly, placing her ear on my stomach “ What do you think it is?”“I think it’s a girl but Ferris seems convinced that it’s a boy”She stood with a smile “I’m sure it’s a gir
ELISE’S POVThe warmth of Ferris’s arms was intoxicating. His strong arms held me in a world where nothing else existed but us. His deep blue eyes were fixed on mine, and the vulnerability I saw in them shocked me.“Elise,” he said softly “You’re the most important thing in the world to me. I never
I hollowed my cheeks, bobbing my head up and down as I sucked him off. Ferris’ loud moans filled the room. I held the base and kept sucking. His moans urged me on. I took as much of him as I could, making myself gag. I wanted to keep going. I wanted to please him more than anything.I kept going til
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' 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

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.

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
