ALPHA KARIM THIRTY MINUTES AGO “What happened?” Jago asked. I spat out blood and fisted my hands on my waist. My gaze shifted to Sekani. He eyed me and looked away. I knew he had a lot to say to me, but he knew this was not the right time. We had decided to split up and look for Laika in that
I did not understand the state of things when I was not myself. I knew I hated Morpheus, but I did not know that the hatred ran this deep. I also did not know he had his claws deep into my mate’s flesh. What else does he have deep inside her? I was almost losing my patience when the girl I saw spe
LAIKA I felt different emotions at the same time when Karim came back. I was afraid, ecstatic, and confused. I knew that Karim would find me, even if for no other reason than because of his heir, and I thought I braced myself for what came next. I cannot trust him enough to go back with him y
"Don't always exude anger." That would be very difficult to do. I turned to Sekani, who was already dipping himself in the water. "Or I could get this imp to convince her. She listens to him." "If anyone needs to convince Laika that you are real, it should be you." "Besides, I do not
LAIKA I waited outside after dinner, and when Claudia was settling Karim and the others into the other cabin. I had seen the exchange between Karim and Morpheus at dinner, and I wanted to clear the air. I did not want Morpheus to rile Karim up just because he could. And I did not want Karim to thi
ALPHA KARIM I was calmer at dawn. I shifted into my human form, wore my shorts, and headed back to the cabin. By the time I got to the cabin, it was almost morning, and I saw a figure lying on the veranda. On closer inspection, I realized it was Laika. I rushed toward her to make sure she wa
LAIKA Another bloody fight ensued between the two brothers, and this time I could not stand and watch them kill themselves. I stepped in between them and palmed each of their chests. "Stop! Stop it! What is wrong with the both of you?" "He needs to leave this town right now!" Mo
"What if what I feel is right is not right? I spoke with Karim this morning, but he was too angry to listen to me." "We all know about his temper, especially when it concerns you. I do not blame him though; I will react the same or even worse when another man takes away my marked mate who is

"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
