LAIKA "Shh. You are safe now, it is alright, it is alright, I am here now," Karim whispered to me as I convulsed with tears on his chest, his hand gently stroking my hair. When I was calmer, he walked me away from the borders while his men watched. He carried me in his arms until we got
ALPHA KARIM I had an unsettling feeling about what Laika told me earlier. She was now peacefully asleep in my arms. Her head was on my beating chest, but I was unable to sleep. I could not sleep; I could not get what she said out of my head. I needed to get my hands on that male, Khalid. I w
ALPHA KARIM I watched Laika as she lay still, looking pale. I have never been this afraid in my life. After wielding that fire from her dream, she has not regained consciousness. It was strange to the healer in our pack and at first; I did not want to tell him about her powers, but when she w
LAIKA I walked farther into the forest. It was amazing greenery. A place I had never seen before, but it was serene and beautiful. I felt peace all over me. The scent was also heavenly. I spread my arms wide and inhaled deeply. I was the only one around here and I saw a lot of fruits. I am ha
LAIKA We gathered around the graves of those that Alpha Khalid killed. It was getting scarier. Alpha Khalid would do anything to get me back. I do not know why he wanted me, he does not like me and does not want me to be his Luna, yet he wanted me back to become a rogue like him. Mothe
ALPHA KARIM I heard whimpers from my men. I opened my eyes and shook my head to stay awake. I looked around to see most of my men hanging on trees, some of them were sprawled on the floor with deep wounds. I slowly sat up. “Magic,” I muttered. “He has magic.” My head was throbbin
LAIKA I was afraid when Karim came home. He looked defeated. They brought back one of their men dead. The others were injured badly. I ran to him and placed my hand on his, which he placed over his gash. He put his arm around me. How was Alpha Khalid able to do this to them? “What happened?” I a
ALPHA KARIM I watched Laika as she trained. I was glad that she was slowly overcoming her fears of Khalid. But he still gave me a big concern. I do not know his secrets and I would never want him to come back again and take me and my people unawares. I never wanted that to happen again. As long as

"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
