“Damn!” The woman on the bed said, sitting up. “Was it supposed to take her this long to sleep? She must have had a lot going on in her mind.” She adjusted her sitting position. “But then it would be super strange if she didn't, considering all the things you’d done to her in the past few months.”“You weren’t really going to let me sleep, were you?” Maverick asked quietly, still lying down with his eyes closed. The woman on the bed hummed, and he opened his eyes. The sight of Aurora’s face, very close to his, was what he saw.“Sorry, I didn’t remember to tell you that your dearest’s face is right in front of you. Don’t worry. You can say whatever you want to; she won’t wake up,” the woman said before she started muttering some spells under her breath.Her features gradually began to change, from those of an old woman to those of a young woman in her early twenties, as well as her body.“You really got good with your body transformation spell. I almost didn’t know it was you. The fact

Aurora continued to stare at the older woman as she led them through the forest. While the older woman was supposed to be leading, Aurora wasn’t about to let her act like some kind of leader, so she walked right beside her, matching every step, while Maverick walked behind them."If there’s something wrong, you might want to say it now, before you're back at your pack," the woman said, and Aurora cleared her throat."How well did you know Dante?" she asked, and Stephanie scoffed, but Aurora continues "Rude, aren’t we? You don’t want to know how I know your father, but you’re asking how well I knew him?" Stephanie said, raising an eyebrow. Aurora nodded."Yeah, I don’t care how you know him, it’s none of my business. But how much you know about him matters. That way, I can ask the right questions and confirm my theories.""If this has something to do with asking questions, you can just go ask your mother and stepfather. They know quite a lot," Stephanie shrugged."And you think I would

Aurora and Maverick had appeared in front of the pack house after going through Stephanie’s portal, only to find Jared, Owen, and Floyd rushing toward them. It was as if they had been waiting for their arrival.Maverick furrowed his brow at them in confusion. He didn’t remember leaving any important task undone before he had left. What was more, all three of them had agitated expressions on their faces.They paused for a moment when they noticed the hostile air between Aurora and Maverick, but the pause was brief. Floyd was the first to speak.“Luna Anabella has been kidnapped,” Floyd stated, and Maverick stared at him in surprise.“That’s impossible. There’s no way any force would have been able to enter the barrier I created. Are you sure of what you’re talking about?” Aurora asked in disbelief. It had been barely twenty hours since she had spoken about how potent the barrier was and how they would be protected by it. The fact that there was now a kidnapping felt like a blow to her e

“This was the letter he had sent, and there was the address of the place too,” Alec informed, dropping the letter into Maverick’s hand. “He said not to bring any sort of security. If he spotted any, Anabella would be gunned down before we even got a chance to get close.”“We had no time to waste. I would go to that place right now,” Maverick replied, and Alec nodded.“Yeah, I had made a plan before you arrived. We would go with you but hang around the place. Initially, the plan was to make the witches help with some sort of invisibility spell, so we could hide in plain sight or wait for a signal to trap him. But it seemed like their rogue pack blood had suddenly turned red, so we stuck to the second plan of hiding in some places. There were a lot of blind spots at the location he had chosen.”“Of course there would be. Stefan is an idiot,” Maverick responded.“I had already taken the contract paper from where it was and altered it slightly. At a glance, there was nothing different from

Aurora, Easton, and Layla arrived at the exact location given to them by the council leaders, who had forced them to beg and grovel at their feet. For Aurora, the memory of their humiliation felt deeply satisfying.They stood before a warehouse hidden deep within the forest, far from plain sight. Aurora rolled her eyes at the scene—it was typical of someone foolish enough to use such a location to welcome his enemies while claiming the title of Alpha of a pack.“What now?” Easton asked grumpily as Aurora studied the warehouse in the distance.She noticed several dangerous-looking men armed with guns stationed in front of the building. It was clear to her that Maverick and Anabella were likely somewhere deep inside the warehouse.“We try to fish out where Maverick is,” Layla replied.“And how exactly is she supposed to do that?” Easton questioned, raising a brow at her.“They’re still mates, Easton,” Layla explained. “Aurora can use their connection to sense his location and sniff him o

Aurora stepped into the room with a commanding presence, her eyes blazing with authority. "I heard that you wanted to see me. May I ask the reason why?" she demanded. Stefan felt a spark of something dark stir within him. There was an allure in confident women that he couldn’t resist—the desire to break them and watch them gaze at him as if he were their god.He recalled the rumors about this woman, the so-called runt bastard hybrid of the Moonlight Pack who had turned rogue. How had she risen to this level of confidence?"I heard the Blood Moon Pack extended their 'welcome' to you today, right before I sent my little message," Stefan said, his voice dripping with arrogance. He released his Alpha pheromones deliberately, hoping to impress her with his power.Aurora, however, remained unaffected. She saw him for what he truly was—a distrustful Alpha with little concern for his pack's wellbeing. No respectable Alpha would abandon his responsibilities to meet with potential enemies while

“Anger issues?” the former Alpha of Moonlight Pack, Alpha Prill, asked as he sat at the head chair, staring at everyone while scrutinizing.Jerry–Aurora had recognized his voice–stood at the fourth chair from the right on the left row, staring at Alpha Prill with a serious expression.“Yes, Alpha Prill. My stepdaughter has anger issues. She had always had them, and obviously, she still does. Her mother and I really tried to take them away from her when she was still in the pack. I was sure that you, Alpha Prill, remember that vividly more than anyone else,” Jerry continued, and Aurora swore under her breath.The man clearly knew what he was doing. The former Alpha, of all people, knew about her very well—and not in a good way. He had something against her being a hybrid. The man just couldn’t accept anything different from himself, and he hadn’t hesitated to give Aurora a hard time.Aurora hadn’t been nice back then either, so she had done as much as possible to piss the man off. She n

“Since none of you had anything else to add, we will conclude that we have come to a definite decision. No one is allowed to bring up pulling the Night Pack out of the territory. If anyone has a problem with anything, unless it is utterly important and necessary, I expect you to keep the idea to yourself.For matters that are important, I want them discussed with me first and privately. Let it be known that I don’t tolerate people wasting my time,” Maverick announced when no one spoke after Aurora’s speech.Aurora was surprised when Maverick defended her in front of his father, his assistants, and a group of old, controlling men. It was clear as day that he no longer cared about their opinions, judging by the way he spoke to them.It made her wonder if the relationship between Maverick and his father had deteriorated beyond repair.“Then there’s nothing more for me here. I’ll take my leave now,” Jerry said spitefully. The man’s anger was visible as he gave a curt bow, glared at Aurora,

Ferix had run into the man he had come to this side of the city for, and the man had delayed him with talks that Ferix had paid absolutely no attention to. He just wanted to get away.Telling Aurora how he felt hadn’t been a good idea, and he was aware of that, but he couldn’t help it.At that moment, with her eyes lightened up and the laugh he knew he had caused, he had just blurted it out. Nothing good was going to come from it, because even though they were not particularly lovers, it didn’t excuse the fact that they were still mates.“The look on your face tells me that you’ve done something stupid,” he heard and raised his head to see Carly standing off to the side, almost blending with the shadows.“I haven’t done anything stupid!” he snapped at her, and she scoffed.“You’ve definitely done something stupid, so tell me what it was that you did.”“I didn’t do anything. So what the fuck are you doing here?” Ferix asked, walking to where he had parked his car, and Carly tailed afte

“Then I would contact you later,” Maverick said into the phone before he disconnected the call.“Maverick?!” Someone called his name with a loud shrill, and he was forced to turn in the direction of the person who was screaming so loudly in the hospital.“OMG! It’s really you!” she exclaimed as she moved toward him. Maverick was surprised to see the receptionist from the hotel at Eastwood Pack in his pack, but he hid his surprise quite well.“Hi, Carly,” Maverick said, and her eyes brightened when she discovered that the man recognized her.“It’s so nice to see you again!” she exclaimed, and Maverick was almost forced to tell her to calm down, but he held it down.“What are you doing here?” he asked.“I’m here to visit my cousin and have been here for quite some time, but I didn’t have any hope of seeing you since you’re the Alpha and all, but here you are! In the fucking plain sight!” she continued in her shrill voice, already wrapping her arms around Maverick’s and pushing herself c

“I can take care of it here,” Aurora said, but Maverick didn’t pay any attention to her as he continued walking towards the car, her hand in his as he dragged her along.“Seriously, it’s nothing huge, just a bit of cotton, bandages, and a couple of pain relief pills would help,” Aurora insisted, but he just opened the car and sat her down.“You have to recognize the fact that I’m a werewolf too, I have healing abilities too!” she exclaimed.“Healing abilities that are very slow, you forget that part,” Maverick finally replied as he sat behind the wheel. “Just look at yourself in the mirror. Only heaven knows how many bones you’ve broken, your face is all bruised up, and I’m sure your arm is aching from the amount of shooting you’ve done today.”“It’s not as bad as it looks,”“I believe the decision is up to me,” he said. “Now, you’ll sit still like a good girl and let me drive you to the hospital so that Sadie can check you up. I don’t want to hear what you think.”Aurora glared at hi

“You weren’t nice,” Aurora commented, and the woman smirked.“I thought I told you, you were the one who wasn’t taking me seriously,” she replied nonchalantly, taking pride in Aurora’s busted lips.“Then, pardon me for being rude too,” Aurora replied as the woman moved towards her. This time, both of them were merciless. They hit each other fast and hard, barely giving the other a chance to recover before delivering the next blow, but Aurora seemed to be on the winning side, while the other woman was getting tired.Aurora delivered a blow to her jaw, adding another bruise to her already bruised face. She grabbed the woman, who was still sputtering, and flipped her over her shoulder, throwing her on the floor hard. The sound of bones breaking made some of the werewolves on the field cringe. They watched as Aurora cleaned the blood on her lips and face with the back of her hands before groaning when she remembered that she must have dirtied it more because her knuckles were all bruised

Aurora stared at the numerous werewolves scattered across the part of the field that had been designated as the training ground. Many of them were warming up, while others chatted amongst themselves. The Night Pack members stood apart from the members of the Moonlight Pack, none of them willing to familiarize themselves with the others just yet.The Night Pack wouldn’t make the first move, especially since the members of the other pack didn’t show the standard amount of respect for their leader. While they didn’t openly disrespect Aurora, they also didn’t hold her in high regard. Many of them believed that without her spells, she wouldn’t stand a chance against them. Her reliance on magic was something the men, whose pride lay in their strength, found hard to respect.“Good morning,” Maverick’s voice rang out across the field, commanding immediate attention. Even Aurora turned to glance at him.His tone was nothing like the one he used when speaking to her. This voice was authoritativ

Aurora walked into the playroom after searching the entire mansion for her assistant and almost groaned when she saw Layla and Zach making out intensely on the couch. They were so lost in each other that neither of them noticed her presence. Tilting her head to the side, she observed them for a moment, shook her head, and then loudly cleared her throat.They finally broke apart. Zach tried to move away from his mate to face Aurora properly, but Layla pinned him down with her body, glaring at Aurora.“Can’t you just go on your way without interrupting us?” Layla snapped.“Can’t you just find somewhere else to do your dirty deeds? Thank god there are no kids here. They’d be blinded by your antics,” Aurora said, sitting on the couch opposite them. Layla’s scowl deepened.“What do you want?” Layla asked begrudgingly. Aurora scoffed at her grumpiness before reaching for the box she had brought. She placed it on the table, opened it, and watched as Layla leaned forward to examine its conten

Aurora halted when she saw Phoebe sitting in front of her, hands draped on her waist. The woman wore a spaghetti strap top and a tight skirt that accentuated her figure.“I have absolutely no idea what the hell you are on about,” Aurora said casually. She was at a restaurant, trying to tail Jerry’s movements. Anabella had informed them during the meeting that a mail had arrived for Jerry two days ago. She had checked it and found only a cryptic note:It will get delivered at Jay Restaurant and Pub at three o’clock, eastside.Aurora had arrived just in time to witness a man—likely a spy from one of the many packs—drop a small container into the trash bin. She retrieved it and discovered shiny, vibrant red rubies inside. Pocketing them, she quickly used her power to create a replica before returning to her table to eat.“Maverick and you are back together, aren’t you? You went on a date,” Phoebe said, interrupting Aurora’s thoughts.Aurora snickered. “So that’s what you’re talking about

Ferix sighed as he placed the glass cup on the counter once again. He pushed the bottle toward the bartender, who refilled it with one of the strong cocktails Ferix had absentmindedly picked when he arrived at the bar.His head was clearly not in the right place, and the lively bar continued on without him as if he weren’t even there. His mind wandered far away, no matter how much he tried to steer his thoughts elsewhere. He always ended up back to the same thing: Aurora. Specifically, the image of Maverick and Aurora sharing a quiet moment on the balcony and the kiss they’d shared in the car later that night.He’d been waiting for Aurora at the pack house, ready to leave when she didn’t show. But just as he was about to head home, the sight of them in the car caught him off guard. They were so lost in each other that neither of them noticed him standing there.He had asked himself countless times why he still liked Aurora despite knowing she had a mate. Back when they weren’t on good

“Why does it always have to be that man ruining our date at the park?” Aurora grumbled, her tone sharp as she crossed her arms. Maverick kept his focus on the road, his hands steady on the steering wheel.“At least now we know why he’s there now and possibly why he was there back then,” Maverick replied, his voice calm but thoughtful.“He came to meet with a member of the Blood Moon Pack eight years ago too?” Aurora asked, raising an eyebrow.“I can’t be certain it was the Blood Moon Pack back then, but I’m sure this park has been his meeting spot for a while. It’s lively, there’s often a crowd. A man his age walking into a trampoline park might seem odd, but not strange enough to attract real attention,” Maverick explained. Aurora nodded in agreement, her mind piecing things together.“That makes a lot of sense,” she admitted, placing a thoughtful hand under her chin.“You don’t seem that concerned about him being alive,” Maverick observed, glancing at her briefly.“I’m not,” she rep
