*Selena*I was taken aback when the person standing before me came to light, and I could see the face clearly. My mind raced, trying to connect the dots and uncover the reason behind this unexpected encounter."So, you are the mastermind behind all of this?!" I asked, shaking my head slowly in disbelief. Out of all the people on my suspect list, I wouldn't have thought that the vampire prince, Damon Shadowborne, could be behind all the conspiracies. "I didn't intend to reveal myself like this, but your persistent demand forced my hand," he replied curtly. His expression was devoid of emotion as he inquired, "Where is the data, Selena?""Oh, the data! Yeah!" I mumbled, collecting my thoughts. "It's in the possession of the Alpha King. I believe it would be best for you to deal with him directly and present your offer," I responded, a wicked smile playing on my lips.Damon's face turned pale, his eyes reflecting shock and disbelief. Before anyone could process the situation, Zander eme
*Selena* I made my way back to the pack house. Zander had ordered one of the soldiers to accompany me.Zander and Maddox left to interrogate Damon and Emile, and the minutes had crawled by as I anxiously waited for their return. The atmosphere in the pack house had shifted, a palpable tension hanging in the air. Whispers and hushed conversations echoed through the hallways, spreading the news faster than wildfire. The entire pack was abuzz with curiosity and concern, gossiping about Damon and Emile.Finally, the moment arrived when Zander and Maddox returned. My eyes immediately sought out Zander's face, searching for any hint of the information he had gathered. His expression was an enigma, his features a mask that betrayed nothing. It was the kind of unreadable demeanor that made it impossible to guess anything.However, it was Maddox who didn't look like himself. His usually strong and composed facade had crumbled, replaced by an expression of utter devastation. "Zander, I told y
*Selena*Zander's kisses were intense, claiming every part of my attention. His lips pressed against mine with such possessiveness that I couldn't think of anything else but him. Each kiss was filled with a fiery passion that left me unable to focus on anything but his touch.His kiss was possessive as if he wanted to claim every part of me. His tongue danced with mine, exploring every nook and cranny of my mouth, igniting a fire within me that I couldn't deny.A shameless moan escaped my lips as his skilled finger thrust into my pussy. His other hand touched me so sensually that it seemed like he knew every secret pleasure point on my body. Our bodies were entangled, and I was lost in the sensation of his mouth on mine and his finger fucking me fervently.But then, Zander abruptly pulled away, leaving me breathless and wanting more. He was panting, his eyes dark with desire, and he looked like a man on the edge."Breath, Selena," he panted, his voice husky, "because I won't be able t
*Zander*I had a son? When did it happen?The very idea seemed surreal, and my mind raced to comprehend this unexpected revelation. As far as I knew, I hadn't been in a sexual relationship after Selena. The pieces of the puzzle started to fall into place, and it could only mean one thing - she had run away with my pup and hidden the truth from me."What's your explanation, Selena?" I demanded, my voice trembling with fury and my heart aching from her betrayal. Just when I believed I could trust her again, she had shattered my trust once more.Selena swallowed, her guilt apparent in her demeanor. "I... I was about to tell you," she stammered, her voice quivering with apprehension."When?" I shouted, my anger surfacing like a tidal wave. "When were you going to tell me?! Every time I thought you had changed, and I could trust you, I would find something that made me believe you were about to run away again this time. What is your purpose, Selena? Why are you here?" I accused, my words
*Blair*I took a deep breath as I stood in front of the door. Ever since I'd learned about Emile's betrayal, I'd been yearning to see Maddox. Unfortunately, he'd been swamped with his Beta responsibilities, and I couldn't get a moment with him. But now, the news had reached me that he was about to leave with Zander. I couldn't wait any longer. My feet carried me to his doorstep.I gently knocked and waited there with a pounding heart. The door slowly creaked open. A look of sheer surprise washed over Maddox's face. "Blair?! Umm... You need something?" His voice quivered with concern, and his eyes held a mixture of shock and curiosity."Can I come in?" I whispered with a soft smile on my lips.Maddox hesitated for a moment, then opened the door wide and stepped aside, granting me entry. I heard the door close softly behind me. As I entered his room, I couldn't help but inhale deeply, lost in the scent that surrounded me. It was distinctly Maddox, a blend of the forest and the refreshin
*Blair*I raised my head, and there he was, breathing heavily, his intense gaze fixed on me. His stormy grey eyes held a torrent of emotions, and I couldn't help but feel my breath catch in my throat.His eyes spoke volumes, revealing the raw desires swirling within him. It was as if his gaze could unravel the secrets of his heart, laying bare everything he felt"Princess," he whispered, his voice carrying a dangerous edge that made me shudder in his arms. "I've warned you repeatedly to stay away, but you keep pushing my buttons.""I try to keep my distance, but..." I began, the ache in my heart was palpable. It hurt more than he could possibly comprehend."But what?" he snapped, his piercing grey eyes never leaving mine."Why do you even care?" I shot back, a hint of defiance in my voice, attempting to free myself from his powerful embrace."You dare to snap at me?" he threatened, his words a harsh whisper that carried a dangerous weight."Who do you think you are, Beta Maddox Ainswo
*Maddox*She was a tease, testing my limits, tempting me to make her mine. Never before had I felt so powerless, my little mate pushing me to the edge. I struggled to control the burning desire to claim her, a desperation I'd never known in my entire life. My self-control, unyielding with other girls, now wavered in her presence.When she challenged me, yelling about how I'd feel if another man touched her, my self-control snapped. I had thought I could be strong, let her go, let her find another mate. But the mere idea of another male's touch on her ignited a wildfire within me. Micah roared in fury, and in that moment, I couldn't resist any longer. I grabbed her, slamming her onto the bed.The very next heartbeat, I was kissing her, my lips claiming hers as if my life depended on it. I pulled her lower lip between my teeth, tugging and biting with an intensity that spoke of possessiveness.I hungered to consume her entirely. Every kiss left me wanting more, and I couldn't get enoug
*Blair*The sudden shift in my world left me bewildered. It was like a bolt from the blue. One moment, I was lost in the sweet embrace of my mate's passionate kisses, and the next, he was gone. He'd vanished without a word, leaving me to grapple with the confusion that followed. His warmth had dissipated, and all that remained was an empty space next to me.The last image etched in my mind was of his piercing gray eyes, filled with an inexplicable pain. It was as if he couldn't fathom the consequences of his actions, as though he believed he had no right to feel the way he did. In that heated moment of desire and longing, it became evident that he wanted me as fervently as I yearned for him. But he was fleeing from the overwhelming emotions and the unbreakable mate bond that tied us together.No, not this time, Maddox. You couldn't just walk away and expect me to let you. I had to stand up and fight for what was rightfully mine. The determination welled up inside me as I dressed quick
