Chapter Thirty-Three - Vengence
Balors' POV
Imelda and I rushed into my place, and I didn't waste any time. I headed right for my room and into my closet. I walked right to the back of the closet.
I slipped my hand behind the back shelf, running my fingers along the edge until I felt the thin wooden box. I pulled it out and opened it, grabbing the red leather handle of the silver knife I forged when I was sixteen.
It was one of the first things Keith ever had me make. The knife as a whole was small. The blade was a little wonky, and the tip ended in a small point. But it was something I made and was proud of it. I was an expert by the time I was eighteen and one of Keith's best apprentices. But this knife held great significance to me.
I stormed out of the room, heading into the kitchen and placing it down on the marble count
Chapter Thirty-Four - VenomReyna's POVI was dragged out of the arena, not given a chance to understand what I had honestly just encountered. Not inky did I kill two boys, but they were also wolves.Werewolves are real. I knew that now. But for some reason, I wasn't scared by that newfound realization. Instead, I was afraid for the others he might have had captured and locked away here.He made them out to be vicious monsters, but those two boys were anything but evil. Instead, they were two scared children forced to fight for their lives.Maybe luck did exist, and I was gifted two werewolves who still had some good left in their hearts.
Chapter Thirty-Five - VictoriousBalor's POV"I have scouts heading in each direction of the city. If there is a camp around there, we will find it." Lincoln assured me.I sat at my desk, tapping my foot anxiously, trying to find a way to make things move faster."What has Aunt Cass said about all of this?""She's furious about how everything has been handled. Mom doesn't like being kept in the dark, and after yesterday's new report, she's a little more than anxious about getting everything resolved. So she has helped set up the scouts. Making sure only the best of the best get sent out. Even Dad went out with the group to give a hand." I nodded."We will find her and bring her ho
Chapter Thirty - Six - FateReyna's POVI felt like I had an out-of-body experience before reality crashed back into me. This wasn't a dream; I had been captured and tortured. I had faced a werewolf head-on and knew they weren't what they were made out to be. My mind was spinning. On top of that, the weird tingling sensation I felt when I first woke up seemed only to exist when I touched Balor.My brain was still in a fog; I remembered Ivan stabbing my leg. But now the pain was gone, and only dried blood seemed to remain. Adding only more questions to my ever-growing list of what the fuck is happening.I had seemed to reenter my body before exiting the cavern that the devil himself carved out for me. But now, I was staring straight into the eyes of a werewolf—one who had just been a mere human seco
Chapter Thirty - Seven - CrossroadsBaker's POVI didn't get any sleep last night. I kept reliving our conversation over and over in my head. The way her face paled as she took in what I had said. Reyna didn't even give me a chance to explain anything else. She excused herself from the office, and I was too much of a coward or too bullheaded to follow her.Maybe even both.I knew she was safe on pack territory, and even Flint agreed that we should give her some space. But I didn't expect it to bother me so damn much.So now I'm sitting at the island in the packhouse, nursing a cup of coffee silently beside Lincoln."Think this is the longest you've gone without speaking. It's a new world
Chapter Thirty-Eight - HesitationReyna's POVI woke to the smell of bacon in the air. My stomach growled, demanding that it be fed. For a moment, everything felt completely normal until I opened my eyes and was greeted by the unfamiliar room once again.This time it looked different as the sun peaked through the window. It's warmth kissing the ebony wood floors. The walls were almost black in colour, matching the curtains. The desk was covered in books and paperwork. And when I looked at the bookshelf, I could see the titles of the books that were both old and new, a couple I had never seen before. Most were books about cities and different countries. But there were a few novels thrown in there too.My stomach sent out another reminder of the food that wa
Chapter Thirty-Nine - Second - ThoughtsBalor's POV"You're an idiot, dude," Lincoln muttered as he threw his keys on the counter. His pissed-off aura mixed with my own irritation.I wasn't in the mood to deal with stupidity. And walking in and saying dumb shit like that was the definition of stupid."Why does it matter to you what I do?" I snapped"Why? You can't be that stupid, can you? It matters because not only are we family, but you're also my best fucking friend, Balor. Your head is so far up your own ass you don't see how wrong you really are.""Wrong about what, Link?" He shook his head, trying to leave before it escalated, but I was looking for a fight, and Lincoln just happened to walk in at the wrong ti
Chapter Forty- LostReyna's POVLost is the only word that can describe how I feel these last few days. The world had its secrets, and now I was another person who had sworn to keep them.I knew why I had done it, not because the world would think I was insane, but because deep down, I knew it was something that needed to be protected.I had learned so much in such a short amount of time; it took days for it to really sink in. But, what really sent me over the edge was when I returned to work, and no one batted an eye at my sudden appearance.Lincoln told me they had everything covered, and I didn't have to worry. But, I was too consumed with my thoughts to really think too hard about it at the time.But when Sullivan ran up to me and s
Chapter Forty-One - RegretBalor's POVReyna nodded before following me out of the noisy club and into the VIP lounge. I had the guards empty this half so we could talk.She looked around the room before shifting her focus on me. The leather top and skirt she was wearing hugged her figure perfectly. My dick twitched as I looked her up and down.The thought of her wearing this to attract another guy made Flint highly territorial.I forced my eyes to return to hers. Her hazel green eyes narrowed as she looked at me. She was the first to break the silence."Not to go all Be
