ALPHA KARIM "Gather!" I roared at the dark sky. My warriors exited their tents quickly, fearing my wrath if they waste another second inside. They got into formation in front of my tent. It was dawn, and it was drizzling. I had not slept a wink since the previous night because
"Again!" I roared as they hit two hundred. They went again. The sun was rising now, and the people were scared to even leave their tents. The pack was quiet, and the only sound heard was the grunt of my warriors. I made them burn till mid-morning when I knew their bones were begging for reli
LAIKA I keep seeing myself running through a valley, chased by something I could not see. I only heard growls and grunts behind me, but nothing was there when I looked. I had two spears thrust into my back, and the pain they gave me was excruciating. I saw dead bodies littered around, skeleton
LAIKA For the next two days, my legs did not touch the ground. Alpha Karim would do everything from bathing me to putting me to sleep. He does not allow me to even feed myself. I have never gotten treatment like it before, but I know I had to leave because I might not survive it the next time
“Karim. Call me Karim.” My eyes snapped up to him immediately. Was he giving me the authority to call him by his first name? Of course, he just said it. I do not know if I could do that. No one called him by his name in this pack or even in the other pack. Why was he giving me that special or
LAIKA It was the fifth day since I moved into Alpha Karim’s tent and I did nothing but sleep, wake up, eat, and read a book I found in the corner of his tent. I was getting bored with the routine and with Alpha Karim not sleeping in his tent at night. I knew Alpha Karim had the best int
“Does she have such white hair? It is rare,” I heard someone say. I ignored them as I headed my way. But at a junction, Madam Zora came crashing to my feet. I was startled that I took a few steps backward. She was crying bitterly. “Please, please,” she cried, holding the hem of my dre
LAIKA I heard the slash of the sword and a man yelled. I ran to the entrance and peeped out from the flap, Alpha Karim’s back was turned to me, and a man was crumpled on the floor at his feet holding his arm as blood streamed down. I could not take this anymore, why was he slashing his men no

"Oh, that's excellent. I should get ready then." Morpheus headed for the bath but paused, turning to Mildred with a cocky grin. "Do you want to scrub my back?" Mildred eagerly agreed, starting to remove her dress. She was always enthusiastic to be with Morpheus. When they were both nude, he lifted
THREE FULL MOONS LATER... "My queen," the guard announced from the doorway, startling Mildred, who had been wrestling with nerves. It has been going on for several days. "What is it?" she inquired. "The royal visitors have arrived the planes of the kingdom." Mildred sprang from
"Penelope, come out," I urged. No response. "I need to talk to you." When silence persisted, I requested a flame torch, which was handed to me by a guard. Holding it up, I peered into the cell and found her lifeless body sprawled on the floor. The metallic scent of blood hung in the air. My heart
"Are you going to lie here all day admiring my perfection, or are you going to claim your crown?" he muttered and opened his eyes. Leaning in, he planted a lazy kiss on my lips. My heart fluttered as I remembered my inauguration ceremony today, and I was supposed to be getting dressed by the ladi
His eyes didn't intimidate me; I knew what it meant when they darkened. He buried his face between my legs, and when his tongue flicked over my throbbing wetness, a quick shiver ran into my blood; my thoughts became misty, and my leg wobbled, but he gripped my hips, holding me in place. "Mo
MILDRED I found myself torn between conflicting emotions regarding Morpheus for two days, so I distanced myself from him during that time. The choice between forgiving him and letting him go out of my life forever weighed heavily on my mind. He had made me cry the most since I met him, but the
"Of course, I want that," I replied earnestly. It was all I had ever yearned for. I longed to belong to someone so profoundly that I had wreaked havoc in Karim and Laika's lives. "I desire a family, someone to return to after the day's challenges, someone to share my thoughts with. I crave everlasti
MORPHEUS I moved silently down the dimly lit corridor of the palace, as quietly as I could, striving to avoid drawing attention or causing any disturbance with my unannounced departure. Everyone would discover my absence when they awoke. The palace remained hushed, although distant echoes of joyfu
