Struggling to find peace and forcing myself to sleep, I tossed and turned in my bed with the sheets twisting around my legs, creating a tangled mess.

It was stupid of me to let anger cloud my sense of reasoning and pour my pent-up aggression on Sara because deep down, I knew she was innocent.

She's been there for me since day one, yet I had the nerve to accuse her of betraying me. What manner of foolishness was that?

I held on tight to my pillow and my heart grew heavy with pain.

Tears welled up in my eyes, blurring my vision as I stared at the ceiling. I needed to apologize before things got worse.

The silence in the room made it even more difficult for me to sleep. I pressed the pillow to my face, stifling my tears.

I got out of bed and began pacing back and forth. The moon shone brightly casting a silvery glow on the desert landscape and making long shadows dance around me.

The cool night air brushed my skin when I stared out the open window. I reached out my ha

    Axton Feeling like time was slowing down, I sat beside Elias in the rowdy casino, bright lights flashing from slot machines and other gaming tables. The noise was deafening as gamblers of legal age excitedly placed bets, babbling over one another. Despite shuffling my chips and receiving my card from my dealer, my mind was somewhere else. I couldn't stop thinking about Dakota. Whenever her face flashed in my memory, my stomach hardened with hurt and a painful tightness almost threatened to squeeze the air out of my throat, making it difficult for me to breathe. I missed her. So fucking much that it hurt. My heart ached for her, for the way her smile lit up a room, for the sound of her laughter, her intoxicating beauty, and curves more dangerous than any mountain road. Get it together, Axton! She's harmful and toxic, and I shouldn't be yearning for her touch. It's like a war within me, my mind telling me to stay away but my heart begging for her to come back. Why can't I jus

    Dakota The light fabric of my black veil gently floated in the desert breeze. Sara and I walked side by side, our faces hidden by the veil that covered our heads. "Come on, hurry," I said to her as the wind picked up and almost caused my veil to fly off my face. We made our way towards the border and tried hard to avoid people seeing us. "Dakota, I'm not sure this is going to work. Don't forget our last ordeal with the guards. They'll surely recognize us," Sara said. "Let's just try. We need to get out of here." I couldn't stay in Axton's cabin anymore. Couldn't survive the humiliation. It was best to leave on my own. Approaching the tall stone walls, I sighted armed guards. Some stood at attention, holding their weapons while others patrolled around military vehicles. Although the border gates were open and movement was free, it would be a suicide mission for us to walk past them without them figuring us out behind the veil. Shifting into our wolves was worse.

    Dakota Sara and I froze like deer caught in hindsight. My heart raced with fear. The van felt suffocating and I struggled to catch my breath. Axton's piercing gaze locked onto mine, his eyes burning with a feverish intensity. My gaze fell to the ground as I couldn't bring myself to look at him. There was a tense silence around me as the guards watched the events unfold. Elias's eyes never left Sara's and Olivia looked guilty as hell. I narrowed my gaze at her, hoping that she had a very acceptable explanation as to why she involved Axton in this. Axton stretched out his hand to help bring me down from the van. I hesitated for a moment, feeling a sudden heat all over my body. It didn't help that my stupid wolf was jumping with excitement at our mate and the mating scent filled my nostrils. When his hand touched mine, I felt a jolt of electricity and quickly pulled away, jumping down on my own. Axton dropped his hand back to his side and stepped aside. There was no escap

    Axton A wave of relief filled me, knowing that Dakota was truly innocent. Kissing her tears away, my heart pounded at her nearness, feeling a need to touch her and take all her pain and hurt away. She was so beautiful, so perfect, everything I ever needed. As usual, my body had become a slave to my biological need and I wanted her so badly in my mouth. My eyes pleaded for permission and she nodded. Unzipping her gown, it fell, revealing the naked glory of her flesh. Her eyes fluttered shut as I ran over her hair, gazing at her curves and her flawless, sensual skin made for loving. "You're perfect, I whispered. "So fucking perfect." She melted against me, her body heat seeping into mine. I've never fallen in love so easily or so completely. I loved her at first sight without shame and regret. Jealousy bubbled up inside me at the thought of her late husband getting to experience what was now mine. I mean, he was already six feet under, so why was I even wasting my time feelin

    Dakota Four days after our reconciliation, Axton's hand tightened around mine, his thumb rubbing soothing circles over my knuckles. We were in the van outside the pack house and Axton could read how tense I was. My heart was racing and I took in the imposing pack house in front of me A shiver ran down my spine, my body bracing itself for potential danger. It felt as if I was entering a zoo filled with wild, hungry lions. "You can do this, you know that, right?" He said, his voice low and steady as he locked his gaze onto mine. "They will never hurt you. I swear on my dad's grave." I nodded, exhaling slowly and straightening my posture. Behind us, Elias and Sara huddled together, whispering to each other. I noticed a blush on Sara's cheeks and a mischievous grin sprang on my lips. Tilting my head to the side, I decided to be teasing. "So Elias, what's the deal with you and my girl?" Axton's body leaned back and he burst out into loud laughter. "Yeah, I was about to ask that t

    Dakota I woke up spent but well-rested. With a contented smile that graced my lips, I stretched my arms above my head and nestled close to Axton. Still asleep, his face looked so young and peaceful. I smiled, snuggling against him. My eyes closed in bliss. I enjoyed being held by him and savored his nearness of him. It was difficult to restrain myself from begging him to make love to me. I was surprised I hadn't done so yet despite my heart pounding to craving for an orgasm. Axton himself didn't make any lewd moves or make me uncomfortable. His left arm encircled mine and he popped one eye open with a mischievous glint. "Were you watching me sleep?" His sleep laden voice asked playfully I chuckled softly and got out of bed "Why would I do that?" I opened the window to let the cool morning air in. The sun was rising over the horizon, casting rays over the pack's landscape. "I see people running. Don't you have to go for the morning run?" Axton didn't respond. I turned arou

    Axton Earlier, I halved the distance to my bedroom when Gwen blocked my path raising a snarky brow at me. Releasing a frustrated groan, I let out a strained smile, suppressing my annoyance. "Gwendolyn, to what do I owe this visit?" She pulled on a slow smile and lowered her yellow tank top to reveal her cleavage. I thought of several excuses to leave her presence but knowing how persistent Gwen was, I gave up with an exasperated sigh, pleased that Dakota wasn't home yet. Gwen aimed to touch my arm. But I sidestepped, avoiding her touch. "Come on, Axton," she pouted, narrowing her eyes in a failed attempt to seduce me. "I missed you." Maintaining a firm expression, I met Gwen's gaze directly. "I didn't. Can I leave now?" "Axton!" She cried, her eyes balls of fire. "Has that murderer cast a spell on you? What does she have that I don't?" "I'm not a murderer, you don't know anything about me," I heard Dakota's cool voice behind me. A sharp breath expelled from my lungs as she t

    Dakota All activities came to a sudden stop and my mouth dropped open at the sight of yucky eggs dripping down my hair and onto my clothes. The smell made me grimace and Axton rushed in a hurry to my side. "Shit, Dakota I'm sorry," he apologized, grabbing a nearby cloth napkin to wipe the egg off my face. "Did she really have to do that?" I exhaled, forcing myself not to lose my temper and maintaining an unbroken connection with Imani, watching her reaction. Cara acted blind to what that nasty girl, Gwen had just done, with a pasted- on smile on her face. Imani, however, looked conflicted on whether to apologize or remain silent. I had begun to study Imani and realized she wasn't a bad person. She was only pretending because Gwen was her best friend and Xavier was Axton's rival. "I'm so sorry, honey," Axton kept apologising. "I had no idea she would do this." "Nor did I know scrambled eggs could come with a side of drama, someone should have warned her not to use eggs as a

    Sara Four months later. With my pregnancy showing, I wore a loose beach-colored gown together with other bridesmaids. Pumped and happy for the big day. Today was Dakota's wedding, and I was so happy as though it were my wedding. Dakota was experiencing back-to-back victories, and my emotions overflowed with tears streaming down my cheeks. It was a good decision for me not to wear makeup because I knew in the end, it was going to get smudged. My hands roamed my belly. My tiny miracle was growing every day, but the cravings that hit me were often crazy. While Dakota was getting ready with Olivia, Imani, and Sloane dolling her up, I reached for a slice of cake nearby and stuffed it into my mouth, enjoying the smudges of frostings. "Goodness gracious," Dakota laughed. "Somebody remind them to take my wedding cake far away from you." The wedding was the biggest talk in town as the merging of Wild Fangs and Desert Canines. It was the biggest event I had ever encountered, filled with

    Sara My mornings were filled with overwhelming nausea washing over me. Getting sick in the morning had become my constant companion, and I felt a change taking place inside me. Everything was happening so fast, and Axton's betrayal threw us off balance. I couldn't believe that he cheated on Dakota with that bastard, Erika. I had never liked her, although I didn't have the guts to tell Dakota. The pain Dakota was experiencing was unfathomable, and I hated that bad things kept happening to someone with such a good heart. Axton, her own mate, had hurt her deeply. I made my way to the bathroom, and my stomach churned as I emptied its contents. Dakota watched me as I lay on the couch, covering myself with a blanket. "Are you okay?" she asked softly. I could see the sadness in her eyes, yet she was concerned about me. She had lost so much weight and was looking like the ghost of her former self, reminding me of the sad times before she met Axton. "I don't know," I managed to say. "I f

    Elias My honeymoon with Sara was a fucking disaster. I was frustrated, confused, and annoyed that no matter how I tried to salvage the situation, nothing worked. All she wanted to do was return to Desert Canines to meet Dakota. The bond between both ladies was unbreakable, but I needed my time alone with my wife. It didn't help that I was getting blue balls after the failed attempt to make love with Sara. Sex had never been a problem for me. Although I was quite big, the girls at the Academy and my ex-flings had no issues with my size, but Sara freaked out when she saw me for the first time, making it seem like I was abnormal. She still hadn't returned from the pack house. I needed an outlet and went to Axton. He was busy with alpha duties, but when we took a break, I shared my feelings with him, hoping he would provide some relief. Instead, the idiot was amused and burst out laughing, which only fueled my annoyance. "It's not funny, dude. I don't think I can handle it a

    Sara My wedding day had arrived. The whole thing seemed like a dream. I couldn't believe that I was getting married. I was ecstatic and scared at the same time. I sat in front of the mirror, and Dakota and Imani stood by my side, helping with my makeup. "I can't believe my baby girl is finally getting married," Dakota beamed, curving my brows. "You, my dear, are such a beautiful bride." "Adorable," Imani agreed. "I'm nervous, Dakota," I said to her. "What if something goes wrong? What if my wedding isn't perfect? Or what if I trip on my dress? What am I even going to do after the wedding? I know nothing about sex." Dakota and Imani exchanged glances, chuckling softly. "You're worrying too much. Everything will be fine. It's your day, and it's going to be amazing." I slipped into my wedding dress, a shimmery soft tulle gown adorned with intricate beadwork. Imani had gifted me the dress, and I had to work on it considering that it was meant for someone chubby like her. It turned

    Sara I sat with Dakota in the back of the van, my heart racing with raw fear that compressed me like a vice, making me faint and feverish. Our hopes of escaping were shattered. Axton looked so pissed, like an angry bull. His reaction confused me, making me wonder why he was angry, considering that they had already labeled us murderers. But knowing how strong the mating bond was, I couldn't blame him, because somewhere in the back of my mind was dancing and rejoicing that we weren't leaving anymore. Now we had to face the consequences of our actions. Dakota sat beside me, her mouth on a white slash and anger simmering beneath the surface. Elias had no emotion on his face, and I wondered what he was thinking. He must hate me so much now. We returned to the cabin and Axton headed upstairs with Dakota, leaving Elias and me alone. The silence felt as though somebody had just died. I couldn't meet his gaze. I stared at my feet instead. He stood opposite me, not moving or saying anyt

    Sara All night, I couldn't sleep. My limbs weakened, feeling Dakota's raw betrayal. I couldn't believe she would think so low of me. She blamed me for her circumstance and I didn't think I'd ever forgive her. The next morning, I sat outside the cabin, staring at the desert landscape. A small part of me wanted to run away because it took her getting angry before she said what was on her mind. If she didn't trust me, why were we pretending to love each other? Despite how angry I felt, I knew I couldn't leave her. We were all we had. I felt her presence behind me and went completely still. When our gazes met, I saw the remorse etched on her face. "Sara, I honestly didn't know what came over me last night. I'm so ashamed of myself. I shouldn't have said what I said. You know that I didn't mean any of those things, right?" My tongue lay like a stone in my mouth and a thick silence passed between us. "Sara, please say something. I was so worried when I returned to the cabin and cou

    Sara When Axton drove us to the cabin. I was so scared and silent tension filled the air in the van like gas, choking me. I watched helplessly with nerves fluttering in my tummy. When Elias's fingers brushed my thighs, I luxuriated in the sweet sensation and the wave of desire hit me from my head to my foot but I'd rather fry my brains out than admit it. We all headed inside. Dakota looked away from Axton and avoided meeting his gaze like the plague. Axton seemed more pissed than Elias and didn't fail to show it. He shot Dakota a nasty look, his eyes like flint stones. Elias tried to infuse some humor and cleared his throat. "Anyone hungry?" No one answered him. Silence descended upon the cabin like a black-winged bird. "I want to speak with you alone. Upstairs," Axton said in a stormy voice to Dakota. The Dakota I had known and lived with for years would never acknowledge anyone who spoke to her in such a rude tone. But now, she did the opposite of what I expected.

    Elias POV In my wildest dreams, I never knew the moon goddess would give me a mate. I'd always felt different, like an outsider. This mindset developed when I was a student. I didn't give a crap about school at all. It was worthless, soul-sucking, with distant monsters as teachers who ignited any spark of passion within me. It didn't help that I was doing very badly in school. Axton, my best friend, always thought I wasn't dumb, and always consoled me whenever the teacher yelled at me for having a coconut for brains. "You're street smart," Axton always said to me. "You're very good at solving problems most of the time. Maybe you're not functioning well because this place is a regimented learning system, or maybe the teachers are crap sacks." Axton was very different from me. He was a genius, loved by everyone. He had a dad, mum, and brother even though his brother was an asshole. My mum died while giving birth to me and my dad mourned her by busying himself with work. I was alwa

    Sara Days and nights passed. Hopeless and defeated, Dakota and I continued our nomadic existence, surviving each day as it came. Our lives had been forever altered and we were stripped of everything we had. I watched Dakota sadly deteriorate from an Alpha to a rogue and after a series of rejections, we had no choice but to seek refuge in the northern deserts. My mind raced like a clock when we stepped into the brothel. I hated the place with everything in me and felt a bitter tang of disgust in my mouth because of their questionable character. It was a whorehouse. Somewhere I wasn't used to. The ladies of the night did their business here, making their rounds around. They were all young girls of varying ages. I had never had sex before, nor did I want to have sex in such a disgusting way, where my body would be on full display, fucking different sizes of dicks, ranging from the ones as tiny as my thumb to long as my forearm. I didn't want to be used as an animal. No female's
