Everyone is gathered in the dining hall of the coven to celebrate Blaine as he is officially retiring today, and Cade is now the official leader of the Coven. Ever is a little over two now and a clever little thing. She’s also adorable, and everyone fawns over her. She absolutely loves the attention. Watching Ever bob and weave around people as she makes her way over to me. She runs into my arms, and I scoop her up. She looks so much like Ari with the same hair and facial features, but she has my dark gray eyes. Ever’s light wavy hair bounces as we make our way over to Ari, who is rubbing her growing belly.
Ari and I got smart and started using some magical protection till we were ready for baby number two. Blair is standing next to Ari, also rubbing her baby bump. Cade and Blair took their time starting their family. They procrastinated a lot. I’m not totally sold that they wanted to have kids. The

Today is one of those days; please give me a reason to set shit on fire. You know the kind of days where you have zero fucks left to give as your world crumbles around you at the betrayal of your family. My parents didn’t just betray me, though. They also betrayed our entire pack. I’m locked up in a prison cell for my safety because I’m guilty by association. I had nothing to do with them helping the rogues attack our pack, but the pack doesn’t care. My parents might be dead, but my fate has yet to be decided.I’m in defense mode. My aggression is coursing through my veins; it’s what wolfsbane does to werewolves. It suppresses our wolves and brings forth our aggression. Werewolves are naturally aggressive. Well, wolfsbane makes it feel like we are on crack. I’m practically foaming at the mouth, wanting to rip someone apart. It’s why they have me in silv
The sound of keys on the door jolted my attention to it. My senses are dull from the silver and wolfsbane, but I can hear keys and voices. Sure enough, the doors open, and Alpha Liam, Sage, the warlock, and the guard who locked me up enter the room. The area surrounding the four cells is open. We are in the basement of the packhouse, which is basically our city hall.“Here’s the prisoner.” The guard states proudly as if he’s why I didn’t escape. I inwardly roll my eyes at his lame attempt to impress the Alpha.“Oh, goddess! You chained her! Open the door now!” Sage demands, her eyes searing into the guard's face like she could murder him where he stood.Sage is tiny for a werewolf, but she is a fierce bitch to reckon with. She is in shape as she was trainin
Zane whispers words in a language I don’t understand. Suddenly, black smoke with a life of its own wraps around us. Chills run up and down my spine as goosebumps show on my arms. It’s cold, and I realize it’s not smoke. It’s a fucking shadow with glowing amber eyes. What the fuck kind of warlock is Zane? The one thing I didn’t ask him was what his coven practiced.The shadows envelop us, and the cold is now accompanied by an extreme suction feeling as if I’m surrounded by tons of industrial fans. It’s intense, and I find nausea creeping up my throat. One minute we are in the cell; the next, we are standing on the grounds of a vast dark gray and black manor. The manor is unusual. It almost seems never-ending. I look to the overcast sky that almost appears to have an oily sheen. The stone pathways are lined with statues of black crows. The crow's eyes glow much
I follow Zane into the massively large mansion. I continue to follow Zane through hallways and staircases. As we walk through the strange mansion, it’s genuinely odd. Some stairways lead to nowhere, doors that open to nothing, bizarre paintings, and stained glass windows all over the place even where there doesn't need to be one. Shadows move along the walls like swirls, almost giving the illusion of wallpaper. Unease creeps over me as we pass men in long black robes with hoods. I can’t see their faces, and somehow I don’t think they are alive.It’s like I ended up in some twisted version of the underworld, except there are no souls that I can see. The whole place gives me the creeps. I can’t believe I have to live in this weird-ass place. How the hell am I ever to navigate this insane place? Seriously, who has doors that open to nothing and stairways that lead nowhere?
I have a sobering thought as I slip the robe on and tie it. What if my pack was never my home? I hate them for cursing me to this life. Resentment builds within me against my pack, parents, and even Sage. She should have tried to keep me in the pack. Instead, she let Liam give me to Zane like I was a piece of property to be traded. Everything worked out perfectly for Zane, but what about me? I’m doomed to be in this creepy mansion, forced to become a familiar to a warlock I just met. Yeah, this is not how I pictured today going. Not at all. I thought today would be a dull day helping Sage with her Luna shit, but Fate decided to dump a giant bowl of molten lava on my life, melting away everything I knew and loved. Thanks, Fate, you asshole.Blair comes to get me, and I find myself walking down another long hallway. We come to black double doors. The doors open. I realize that Blair is in a long
We head out of the ritual room, or whatever they call it. I’m sure I’ll have plenty of time to learn how this coven operates. Every coven is different. I ended up needing to link arms with Zane so he could help me walk as I started to feel weak, which is not a feeling I’m used to. Once more, we walk through crazy hallways. I find even more strange things about the mansion. Everything is incredibly detailed. The door nobs, light fixtures, and even the walls have some type of design on them. This place is weird, but it’s strangely fascinating. The shadows swirl along the walls as if they are living entities.Zane leads me down a long hallway with a handful of doors. The hallway is quieter than the rest of the house as I follow him to a dark gray door. Zane puts his hand on the knobless door. When his hands touch the door, it briefly lights up white and opens. We walked int
Blinking my eyes open, I roll over to find the warm body of Ari lying next to me. I don’t think she meant to move close to me in her sleep. When we fell asleep last night, she was as far away from me as she could get without falling off the bed. Now she’s right next to me. Ari is curled under the comforter. Only her head peeks out. I brush some of the hair out of her face as she’s on her side facing me.Ari is beautiful with her black wavy hair. Her hair has natural gray highlights that blend perfectly into her dark hair. It almost creates a smokey effect, especially with natural light waves. She has an ivory complexion. Her dark blue eyes with a hint of violet around the irises pull her appearance together. Her nice sized boobs, sweet little curves, and cute ass only add to her appeal. I also love that she has the cartilage of her right ear pierced with a black hoop earring. She&rs
“Sleeping next to you isn’t horrible, but I don’t want you to get any ideas.” Ari’s words bring me back to the present.“Oh, I have many ideas. Many ideas on how I’m going to make you mine, on how I can seduce you, and ideas on how I’m going to fuck you.” I watch as her mouth slightly drops. She’s not used to men being forward with her, nor is she used to a man wanting her. The males of her pack were fools not to claim her. Their loss is my gain.“Well, just get those ideas out of your head,” She demands, but I can tell my boldness flusters hers. “So, are we going to train today, Master?” She says master with some defiance. She’s changed the subject from sex to training.I inwardly chuckle at her. She&rs
