"I'm sure Queen Willow and Alpha Emerson are discussing that very thing as we speak." Kade dismissed, turning us down another hallway, putting even more space between us and Dex, and I didn't like it. As we rounded the corner, I eyed the guard from my periphery, ensuring he was still with us even th
EMBER Doctor Soren's powers were water. I could feel her tampering with it in my body, and my stomach twisted tighter with each second her powers were inside of me. It was moving through my veins, pumping through my organs, and bubbling beneath my skin. It wasn't something I had approved of or as
Seeing the guard straighten with what appeared to be either pride or confidence, as I said, filled me with assurance that this was still the right thing to do. They were counting on me. So, I lifted my chin and let Kade take me to Rosa. The designer's room was littered with mannequins and fabrics
DEXWatching Ember walk away was one of the hardest things I had ever done since becoming Alpha. I didn't trust Kade with her, not for a second.Whenever I caught him looking at her, I wanted to rip his eyes out.He was pushing my buttons, and if the queen hadn't been eyeing me like I was her prey,
"I am not manipulating anyone," I stated, lying through my teeth. The only person I was trying to manipulate was her, but she was evil, so I felt no remorse.I knew she dabbled in shadow magic and had mastered all the other elements. That made her dangerous, and a dangerous and angry Fae was not som
EMBER I smiled, feeling more comfortable as Kade kissed the back of my hand before nodding to Thea respectfully as we parted ways in front of our rooms. There had been a lot of joking after he made a comment about how I would taste. I had been uneasy and almost offended at first, but then he asked
"Because he is going to want babies," Thea said, groaning and throwing her head back. My lips parted, surprised by her reason. It wasn't unusual for women not to want kids, but to not want a relationship didn't make sense to me. People could be in happy relationships without children. I was sure th
EMBER I released the breath I had been holding as I pulled the dress on. The floor-length silver gown was stunning. The thin fabric was cool against my skin, and I was worried if I touched it, my clammy palms would leave marks on it. "You look incredible." Dex's deep voice from behind me sent goos
EPILOGUE “You’re late,” Cole grumbled as I raced through the trees, unable to wipe the smile from my face. I had anticipated the worst when I first turned to the Fae to train me on my magic, but the tension melted away after a couple of sessions. The more I got to know my great aunt… well, the
His heart was too fast for my liking, and I knew this upset him more than he would admit. “I’ll come home to you. I promise. It’s only for a few days to start my training.” I pressed a long kiss to his chest before wrapping my arms around his waist. “When have I ever not chosen you?” From the be
“Today, one of our pack members, the ringleader of this group, was killed during an attempt at taking my life. Before she died, I was able to extract a list of names from her. I have the names of everyone she has been working with, and I want to assure all of you now that I will do everything necess
EMBER I was in shock, stunned by what I had done and how easily the darkness had taken over. Once the guards had rushed in and moved between me and Jensen, I fell to my knees. Dex had run for me, not caring about anything else in his hurry to ensure my safety. His touch brought me back, his arms
EMBER I gasped as Dex crashed into me, the impact sending me to the floor. His warm body was on top of mine, shielding me from her attack, and I cried out as the heavy metal of a chain hit the top of my head before Dex was pulled away. My hand instinctively flew to my hairline, covering the stin
“And you thought the best solution would be to make everyone think Dex had done it?” Ember asked, disbelief thick in her tone. “He was starting to wake up, and it was my only choice. I grabbed a handful of the dirt beneath him that he had been bleeding on and sprinkled it around her.” Jensen’s voi
“Dex! You have to believe me! Jensen is lying! He is behind all of this!” Caroline walked forward until the chain stopped her, rubbing her throat as she flashed her wide, puppy-dog eyes. “She’s been blackmailing me,” Jensen explained. Caroline pulled her leg back before kicking forward again. Wh
DEX “Clear the room.” I snapped, and the guards made their way to the door. I knew they would find themselves on the other side of the double-sided glass wall where Nolan, Alec, and Thea were sure to be watching. It wouldn’t surprise me if other pack members heard about their Beta being interroga
“How could you do this to Paige?” Caroline screamed, “She is rolling in her grave knowing that you betrayed her with a Fae!” “That is enough, Caroline.” Dex snapped, but the woman didn’t hear him. She knew she was getting to him, and I didn’t know how to calm him without stepping out of line. He di
