LAIKA I did not understand what was happening, but I had it up to my neck. My anger was flaring, and I could not control it any longer. Why was Karim accusing me of something I could never do? I risked my life for him and this pack, and the least I expected was his jealousy. I condoned it all beca
LAIKA I ran out of the tent without looking back or considering what everyone thought of me. Karim just hit me, and I could not believe it. Jago understood my body language and knew I wanted to be left alone. But Morpheus would not understand, no matter what I do. I didn’t even want to go to his t
ALPHA KARIM ,, A volcano was erupting in my head, and I could not understand it. It was so difficult trying to do things without being blamed. I do not care what people think about what I do. I am the Alpha, and I will do whatever I want to do, but I cannot take it whenever Power chastises me. He
LAIKA "Laika, Laika," I looked up to see Sekani coming my way. I stood immediately and went into his arms. "Oh, thank goddess, you are here." After hugging me, Sekani pulled away and looked all over my body. "Did he hurt you much? Where did he smack you? Did it leave a mark?" "Sekani, I am
ALPHA KARIM I gulped down the large mug in front of me and slammed the mug on the table. No one was in the bar except for me. Madam Lena stood in a corner staring at me with horror printed on her face. I had asked everyone to leave the bar when I came and did agree to pay for all the drinks in her
LAIKA It was getting darker, and I knew Morpheus and Sekani would be worried about me, even though I told them I wanted no disturbance. I was below the water and could see the reflection of the half-moon in the water, thinking about my life and everything I had been through. Memories popped into m
ALPHA KARIM I ran as my legs could carry me out of the forest No one was awake. I ran into my tent immediately, searching for Laika, but she nor her belongings were there. I knew she had moved out of the tent after I slapped her, but seeing the room devoid of her presence, made me want to fall on
ALPHA KARIM I paced outside Morpheus' tent, rehearsing what to say to Laika when she comes out. She must believe me. She must believe that I am for real and could never hurt her. She must believe that I am back to my senses and that this was not a scheme to get her back and kill her. But no matt

"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
