FARRELL’S POVContrary to how I looked and acted, I was mad at myself for letting my emotions control me and nearly kissing Elise. I had promised myself that I was only here to take back what was mine and make those that wronged me pay. The last thing I had expected was to get a mate—and one that wa
FERRIS' POV The blaring of the alarm echoed through the silence, dragging me from my sleep. A sharp pounding at my temples made me groan as I reached out blindly, slamming the device into silence. My head was heavy. I think I had a huge hangover all thanks to last night's drinking with Eden. Ev
ELISE’S POVI busied myself with Nayla. The tiny cub was on my lap as I waited for Farrell. The little creature let out a soft purr, nuzzling into my hand, but my thoughts were far away. I prayed Farrell hadn’t done anything drastic on my account. He was impulsive, dangerous even, and I couldn’t bea

ELISE’S POVThe ride back to the center was suffocatingly silent. Farrell kept his eyes on the road, his grip on the wheel so firm that his knuckles turned white. Even as he drove, I could feel him stealing glances at me. I didn’t say anything. I didn’t even look at him.My thoughts were all over th
ELISE’S POVI sat on the cold floor. My breathing was ragged. My eyes were probably puffy due to all the crying I had been doing. My heart felt too heavy in my chest and it was barely able to piece itself back together. Farrell knelt before me, silent, watching.I wasn’t sure how long we had been si
ELISE'S POVThe moment Farrell’s lips pressed against mine, I felt fire in my veins. It was a slow burn at first, a small spark that hesitated before catching, but as his hands cupped my face and pulled me closer, the flames roared to life. His kiss was deep, demanding, filled with a longing that ma
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

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
