Maddox: It started out innocent and sweet. The kind of love story where the good guy might finally win the girl. But that all went to shit when I gave into the thought that she might actually want me back. My foolish naivety is what broke me and another’s betrayal is what damned me. Love turned to anger and anger morphed into obsession and now…Well now I am powerful enough to twist fate to make her mine. Lies and deceit plague our once pure friendship as I take and take, stopping at nothing to get what I want. And what I want is her. Lana: This isn’t how this was supposed to go. I was supposed to choose one of my best friends to be my mate after they came back from Alpha training. Except that only one of them came back. The other exiled, left for dead and abandoned to the wild. That was just the first of many pitfalls that led to all my freedom and choices being stripped from me. By the time I discovered who the problem was I was already caught in his dark web and now I fear he won't ever let me go. I am trapped by a mate bond that was forced on me. But I'll be damned if I submit just because I’m his Luna.

*Maddox POV**8 years after Lana’s Epilogue*Lana chases little Rosie through the daisy filled meadow, her two younger brothers fast on their heels, growling like the little monsters they are. After spending the day with all the children cooped up in the car, they need to let off a lot of steam. They screech and squeal, our four-year-old Mikail no doubt the loudest as his little cheeks flush pink with effort from running. Declan stops and wiggles his little body, his tongue hanging out as he blows raspberry sounds and then runs off away from his little brother once more. Lana swoops in and scoops Mikail up, propelling him after his bigger brother with a victorious smile on his face. After a little while, Rosie stumbles up to me, her eyes droopy and her hair wet with sweat. I can’t help but chuckle as she wipes her brow and her hair sticks straight up. “Phew. That is exhausting.” She sighs.“Oh, yeah?” I ask and she nods, stealing the bottle of water from my hand and taking a deep s
*Lana POV* *Two years later* The sun peeks out through the horizon, breaking into a new day. The day I get to tell Maddox the amazing news. I have wanted to tell him for more than a week, but he has been off visiting Julian’s pack, which he has officially handed over to the newly mated Lexi and Simeon. It wasn’t at all surprising when Julian called and relayed that he was passing the title off. Maddox and I both knew he never wanted it. I should have just gone with him, but I wanted him and Julian to have their own time. Their bond is deep, one of brothers and one so much more than I ever thought Maddox was capable of with his quiet nature, but Julian compliments him. Or rather annoys him into having a good time. Julian promised me that Maddox would not be allowed to sleep in and that he would make sure he trained daily. I trust he will wake him up early every day, but I do not, however, believe for a damn second he will actually hold Maddox to training. Not that I actually care a
The committee left yesterday, but not without expressing their great upset over not being able to take Allen back with them. Lana, however, stood her ground and insisted they had more than enough information to take to the Waning Moon committee and inform them they are under investigation.Especially since she gave our committee two extra days to gather information from Allen. Two days of him healing from his injuries so he could handle his punishment better, but we kept that bit of information to ourselves. Lynne and Harold made an interesting case for keeping Allen alive, but selfish as it may seem. I want him dead. And so does everyone in our pack. In the end, our pack’s punishment takes priority. Which I am damn thrilled about. It also helped our case that they still have Brian and the three other alphas who they can get information from before they are dulled out a harsh punishment.“Are you up for this?” Lana asks, trying to be a supportive mate, and I frown at her. She shrugs.
I hate it in here. The depressing smell of vibrant flowers wraps around me and the dim lighting that only makes his skin look more sallow. The man laying before me is longer recognizable as my father. His dark veins are the liquid silver now working their way through his sunken cheeks and pale complexion. There is no beating liquid silver when it hits your bloodstream, apparently. I have had silver poisoning, and it nearly killed me. It was a near miss for Matthias as well, who still is recovering. But liquid silver? This is new to us, at least the weaponized version if it. Of course it’s existed. We live in a world separate from humans but not completely removed. I can only imagine the horrors that Allen opened in his pack for the short time he was in charge. Though I doubt he was the first in their pack’s history to do said crimes. He was probably just the first to get caught.I close my eyes, allowing the mental barrier down. My emotions have been so pent up, like a damn nearing c
*Maddox POV* I enter the room with far more composure than I thought I could manage. My wolf stands with me, ready for the onslaught of whatever might come out of Allen’s mouth. I have the answers I wanted, the ones I can give my father to help him rest easy and let go. What I need is to watch Allen break the same way he wanted to break me. But there is a time and place. In front of the committee, before I have cleared my name seems like a bad time. So instead of spinning and facing Allen to relay the gory details of his son’s demise, I remain in check and glance at the faces of those who once again control my fate. “Maddox…” Lynne says in surprise, looking at me as I give her a nod. Allen immediately goes rigid, his eyes darting to the committee members, pleading. I can feel Lana coming in behind me and Matthias tries to hide a smirk. He either knows shit is about to go down or he is hoping it will. I suppose I’m not one for beating around the bush in important matters. “I wante
I have never been more grateful for Maddox to have his mental block up than I am right now. My eyes snap to Harold and Lynne and the remaining committee members, who look just as angry and surprised as I am. Lynne bolts up and storms out of the room, her eyes near red in fury as she passes by slamming the door behind her. I turn back to Allen, loosening my grip a little for him to breathe easier. “And your reason for infiltrating my pack?” I ask him, my chest heaving up and down as I try to remain in control of my temper while Matthias quakes in barely restrained hatred. “If you had permission to do all that, why would you need to enter my pack? Replace Matthias’ dad?” Allen glances at Matthias with a blank expression. “I wanted a pack.” He says, as if the answer were so obvious. I scoff and shove him into the wall. He grunts in pain and steadies himself with his hands. “Bull shit.” I grit out, stepping closer to him in an intimidating fashion. “I was an alpha. An alpha needs a
*Lana POV*The mood is somber as I walk alongside Maddox, his hand secured in mine and his eyes fixated on the ground ahead of us. I know silence is his safe place, but I can tell he is drowning in it right now. But there is no way for me to help him right now. He has shut off the mental link, and I understand why. He needs to wrap his head around this all. When we arrived only an hour ago, Matthias was frantic. He had Allen locked up and guarded. Not that the asshole could make it very far with a gnawed off right foot and mangled left leg. But he couldn’t find Maddox, and he was worried. Matthias doesn’t worry, not like that. Not for people like Maddox, people that rarely need to be worried about. I slide a glance up at him, his jaw clenched and his muscles taut with stress. His cheeks are a bloody mess of deep grooves and blisters and his eyes are red and puffy. He looks fucking terrible, and I have no idea what caused such an injury. All I know is asking will get me nowhere when
I sprint through the woods, my eyes sliding back once to look at my father before I focus my mind solely on Allen. The fucker who can’t seem to play fair. No matter the situation, he always has something up his sleeve. He has never been a fighter, always forgoing training and giving Kohen different dirty techniques to use to win. Dirt in the eyes, silver spiked gloves or a dagger. How the hell did they come up with these disgusting ideas?Using weapons of such magnitude has always been banned. Of course, trying to survive, all bets are off the table, but even just having a silver weapon fashioned is against our rules, our moral code. We are animals, yes, but we already have wolves. Why would we need other weapons?I come up on Matthias who looks over at me, surprise written on his face. I can sense his inner turmoil. Does he help the Mad Alpha or does he try to find Allen before me so he can get his own revenge? What he doesn’t pick up is that I am still here, for the first time in wh
Lana POVDear Lana,There will be nothing left of your perfect lips if you keep chewing them nervously while waiting for my reply. Usually, I am more punctual in my responses. I am sorry if I made you nervous thinking I would skip sending you an email tonight. To answer your question, yes, things have been intense. But they should be rigorous. They are training us all for alphaships or betaships, after all. I would do it over tenfold if it meant a better chance of being what you need me to be. I have to admit; I miss you far more than I ever imagined possible. Your sharp wit and your nervous lip biting always bring a smile to my face when I find myself stressed or unable to focus. I am thinking this will be the last message for a couple days as we enter the last week we are to be separated, so I feel it is only fair to formally ask you for a chance…“Lana!” Someone hisses at me and I jump, slamming the laptop closed. My heart is in my throat as I move toward my dark balcony and peek ...
