EMBER“Is that why you sent your people out to search for Fae among the packs? You were trying to find her.” I said as understanding dawned on me. If my little sister had been kidnapped, I would have started cursing people, too. “We wanted to bring all our people home, the princess included. As so
“Evasive.” He nodded with an amused smile. “If you give me an honest answer, I will give you one.” I thought about it for a moment before nodding. “Deal. Is that your question?” “Yes.” “I was severely injured a few months ago, and she has been in recovery since. I’m hoping to have her back soon.”
EMBER “Are they dead?” I asked as I inched forward to peak over the desk at the beast blocking the hallway. “No, but they can be. Would that make you more comfortable?” Kade leaned around me to take a look at my packmate. “What?! No! Absolutely not!” I shouted before his hand clamped down over
The ceiling was half as high as it would be in a regular room, so one had to hunch to go inside. It had made me feel claustrophobic, and I hadn’t spent more than a few seconds there when I first found it. “Don’t tell me you want to follow the trail of blood,” I whispered as Kade stood. “We’re fo
EMBER I glanced at the clock on the wall of the fourth bedroom we had cleared. It was only one in the morning. We still had hours to go before the sun would come up and Dex would be back. Our relationship may have been a strategic play for him, but it felt very real for me, and after tonight, I
Kade dropped the beast to the ground, just as a second turned the corner and came at him from the other side. He turned to the newcomer, and I felt my heart stop when I noticed it wasn’t the one from the office. That made at least three, and I felt our chances of getting out of here untouched pl
EMBER I held my breath as the creature passed the office, my trembling hand over my mouth. They would be able to smell my fear and hear my heart hammering away in my chest, but the sound of Kade’s fight against the others seemed to hold the beast's attention, and it continued down the hall. I w
“Jump!” Kade shouted, and without a second thought, I jumped out of the window. The air around us thickened, slowing our descent, but we still hit the ground in a rough landing. Kade held most of my weight and grunted as he stumbled back. He must have twisted his ankle or hurt his foot from the f
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
