Who could inflict such wounds on him, and why was he fighting? Who did he kill? I wiped it clean and moved on to the one on his cheekbones. His soft breath reminded me how close our faces are. My eyes trailed to his lips again, and they invited me. 'Kiss him already,' Joy groaned. The
LAIKA “Good choice,” Sekani said and patted his horse. He was dressed in khaki pants, brown boots, a light shirt with a brown vest, and a cloth cap. “You are dressed,” I said. “Yes. Change of plans. I decided to travel this morning. You are lucky you found me here.” “I am
“Where is this place?” I asked. “This is where you will stay for now until you decide what you want to do with your life.” Maybe this was a tent set out for homeless people in the pack. But the thought of people makes me cringe. Sekani went into the tent and I followed him. To my sur
LAIKA “Alpha Khalil,” I whispered. He barged into the tent, wearing that wicked smirk of his. I lay frozen where I was, unable to stand up or even scream. He affected me in a very negative way and I could not withstand it. He moved into the tent and dropped to his knees beside me. I was still fr
I must leave this pack. But now it seemed Alpha Khalid was back; I was not safe in those woods anymore. He would surely capture me, and I was not ready to go back to that life of torture again. “Are you alright?” Sekani asked concerned. We had an argument earlier and yet here he was asking if I
LAIKA Flashback... I shriek as the thorn-laced whip landed on my back and my skin tore open with a new wound as the thorny whip hit me. I could have run but I was bound to a stool, naked. Alpha Khalid drank from the gourd of wine again. "How many counts now?" he asked. I lost count. The pain
"Laika, do not ignore me. Answer me. Who is Alpha Khalid? Is it the one I know? From your former pack?" "Yes. I just had a nightmare." I stood from the fur and left. I did not want him to see more from my eyes. But he did not give up. He followed me and grabbed my arm. I tried to jerk away but h
LAIKA Over the next few days, I worked in the pack freely. I did not get kinder treatment from these people but with Sekani's influence and the freedom Alpha Karim granted me, no one touched me. The people I worked for marveled at my efficiency. They had no choice but to call me back. I was making

"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
