ERIKA Nothing is going as planned. I had a feeling that something went wrong with the whole plan. Why would Karim plan to get Laika to fall in love with him? He was supposed to be mad at her and treat her like the trash she was. Why was he letting her still walk this pack freely? Why hasn't he tie
LAIKA I followed Karim and met him on the hills, looking over the valleys. I slowed my steps and walked up to him. I had to let him know nothing was happening between Morpheus and me. Even though I did not need to explain myself. After all, he was fucking Erika. But two wrongs cannot make a ri
"I hope you recognize your mate soon," I said in a hoarse voice and looked away from him. "We can always seek help," I said, plucking the healing herbs around us. I rubbed them between my palms until they produced juices, and then I turned to face him. "If you let me put this on you, it heals faster
ALPHA KARIM Being around Laika was driving me fucking insane. It was ripping my heart out. One minute, I was fucking pissed at what she did, trying to take my pack from me and turning my people against me. And the next minute, I was pinning over her, realizing how deeply in love I was with her.
LAIKA "I came as soon as I got your message," Sekani's voice jerked me out of my thoughts. I stood and hugged him. I had missed him so much. I had been trying to get my wits together since I returned to this pack, and having a friendly face around was very much needed. "Did you miss me this muc
ERIKA "There is a crack in the spell. That is why he behaves like that." the blind sorceress said. I sighed. "What crack? Why? I have done all you asked me to do." "A new life cracks a spell." I stared at her in confusion. I did not understand what she was talking about. "What do you mean?" I
LAIKA "I did not want to be here," Morpheus said. "Why did you come?" I asked, sitting on a rock. We were by the stream, near the waterfall. Morpheus was standing with his back to me. "My mother had always wanted me to know my roots which I hated so much. What I even hated most was that my mom
MORPHEUS I watched Erika as she approached my tent. I know she had eyes on me. Even though Laika told me nothing about her or her mother, I had heard whispers, and I was no fool to know she was Laika's rival. I do not particularly hate her, but I do not like her. I planned to convince Laika to l

"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
