Grayson's eyes bulged in surprise and he kept opening his mouth, sweat was running down his temple. " Adira, it- it's not... My father is dead," he stammers. I only carried my bag and looked back at him over my shoulder. " You owe me no explanation, we all have different ways to mourn. By the way, I need to talk to you once you're done in here," I glanced at the omega wolf before leaving the room and going to the garden. This pack still needed a leader and Grayson was trained his whole life for the position. I may not like him but I had to do what's right by these people. I removed my phone from my pocket and read messages from Wyatt, he called a few times too. Grayson joined me in the garden half an hour later, he was fully dressed and his eyes were red like he was crying. " Hello," " How can you be so calm when you ordered two deaths? Adira, that man was my father," he growled. " Watch your tone if you don't want to join them," I warned. He looked shocked by this but I
Azriel This woman was absolutely breathtaking! Her smile was mesmerizing. Even after knowing her for months now, her beauty still amazed me. She talked about the food on the table while I watched her, I didn't like it as much but I pretended to because it made her so happy. When we were almost done with the meal, a middle-aged woman came to our table, a huge smile plastered on her lips. " The unruly child! " she clapped, smiling from ear to ear. " Mrs. Li," Adira didn't seem enthusiastic to see the woman. She stood up and crossed her arms against her chest, waiting for the woman to speak. " Luna, I was so happy when I heard you came to my restaurant," Mrs Li beamed. " Oh really?" she said. " Yes, news of your arrival spread, and what happened, don't worry, we support you and your new position," Even I was impressed by the way she dealt with Mars and Steven. She was so powerful at that moment and so damn sexy. I tuned them out and continued to eat my food. Mrs Li left and
I opened my eyes a few minutes later to a ringing in my headache. I touched the area where I felt the most pain with my fingers and there was a large piece of glass stuck in my stomach. I pulled it out as a muffled scream escaped my lips. It took a few minutes for my eyes to fully open. " Azriel," I croaked. He wasn't next to me. I unbuckled my belt and kicked the door open before going out. My legs were wobbly at first as I looked around for Azriel but as soon as my wolf made an appearance, I got my strength back. " Azriel!" I shouted and ran to him, he was hurt and bleeding. I got to my knees and lifted his shirt. Gently, I touched his torso and concentrated on healing him, and just like before, his wounds slowly began to close and he stirred, groaning. " Stop that," he grumbled, pushing me away. " Are you alright?" he asked, worried. I nodded and he wiped the blood on my forehead with his fingers gently. ' What happened- " " Impressive," We froze at the voice, it was that
Zion's POV A few weeks ago I discreetly went into the Diamond city. I needed to see for myself how everything was and indeed, as my men reported, the king was a vigilante. I wouldn't have made it in or out without the help of my sorcery. On my way out of the palace, I met someone I didn't know I would. At first, I thought it was my love, Meryl but when I looked closely, I knew it wasn't her, those eyes that belonged to the man I loathed more than anything. Benedict Wade Lafayette, my flesh, and blood. Benedict and I grew up as antagonists, just like our fathers, the original Lafayette brothers. They both wanted to be the alpha of our pack but my grandfather chose my uncle for that because he had a pure heart, and in retaliation, my father became a devoted follower of the dark king in hopes to take revenge on his pack but that didn't work out after that fucker Wyatt killed them. Years later, a few devoted members of the Dark King approached me, they selected me as their leader. We
Zion told us more about his father and the dark king's close relationship, I could tell he admired their evil work by how he spoke and my skin crawled. " Those were great men," " They were killers," Azriel barked. " Aren't we all," Zion smiled tightly. I could feel Azriel's alpha aura roll off him in waves and I put my hand gently on his leg to calm him. " What is your plan here?" Azriel asked. " Well, this is a family reunion," Zion smiled and I nodded at his word, making Corey cock an eyebrow in interest. " When will this reunion end?" Azriel gritted his teeth. " Adira, I was thinking you stay here for a while," he said, eating his steak, and my eyes slightly bulged. I fixed my gaze on him. " I was thinking not, I want nothing to do with you, and I see no reason to stay here," I said, keeping my voice stable. His demeanor changed. " I have a life of my own, a mate that is probably going crazy looking for me now," I said. He mulled over my words for a while. "They w
Adira I was surprised when Corey said he'd help us escape, " Why would you do that?" Azriel asked suspiciously. " She's my family?" he put a finger at me. " Bullshit," " Fine, I never did care for family but I want to be in someone's good books, hopefully, this helps," he smirked, Corey looked more handsome and I instantly knew the person he meant. It was Jett, he was in love with the king's gamma. " Who?" Azriel asked. " Jett," I answered. Corey seemed surprised that I knew that. " Was he the one who released you last time you were in custody?" Azriel growled. " Not intentional, I tricked him," " Well, he's in big trouble," " No, you can't tell anyone he's the reason I escaped," he was concerned, and his eyes flashed purple like mine do when I'm angry. " You love him," I pouted, and he scowled. Corey didn't say a word, just running a hand through his lovely white hair. " No, I don't like owing favors, and helping you would be repaying it," Corey was trying to con
Azriel PovI smiled as I watched her laugh out loud at what we were talking about, her face was tender, and was about to say something when she stopped, I caught his scent just as she did. Wyatt was here, and my gut twisted. My eyes met Wyatt's, he looked rumpled and I could tell he was really worried about her.I watched them rush towards each other and kiss passionately, Adira wrapped her arms around him and my heart pierced painfully... All I wanted to do was growl at him and pull her to my side. He wasn't going to just come out of nowhere and claim her in front of me but I reminded myself that she wasn't mine, Adira Wade was his. I closed my eyes when I entered the car, I wanted to throw up and my whole being twisted, there was a fire burning in me. I was angry and my body was shaking. I opened the window and kept my head out. I wanted as much air as I could get in my lungs. An hour later we reached the estate and I was the first one to get out of the car and walk inside the ho
Adira I woke up to tingling kisses on my neck and a smile formed on my lips, I inhaled my mate's scent and turned around. " Morning, my love," I purred and he growled sexily, making a shiver run down my body. He was so sexy especially when he growled like that. His hands were caressing every part of my body and my nipples stiffen under my pajamas. My mate hovered over me and my fingers brushed softly against his muscular bare chest. Wyatt smirked and I blushed under his gaze. I pulled him down for a kiss. His fingers traveled down my core and I thrust my hips against him. The spark of our body contact made everything so much bed, and I craved more. I was so wet and his eyes darkened when he thrust in me with his fingers. He pulled down his pants and entered me, making me moan delightfully. Before I could think, I was moaning his name and begging him for more. He was devouring me and my body felt hot, I grabbed his hair tighter and I purred. I felt it coming and his moves accelerate
