Maddox Lincoln"What are you looking for?" Luca's loud voice made me groan.I hate disruption and my Beta happens to do everything I dislike.He has been asking me that question for the tenth time now if I am not wrong.Not getting any response, he raised his voice.I kept the books down on my desk before throwing a hard glare at him."Can you shut up?" I sneer."Can you answer my questions?" He mocked, crossing his arms and looking at me unfazed.Lucas is stubborn, and adamant whenever I need peace.Sometimes I wonder if he annoys me on purpose.I honestly wouldn't be surprised if that's the case.I slammed my palm on the desk, knowing he won't give up.And I want peace for now to focus on my work."These are some books which have information about Isis and their strengths.I was searching for something helpful so Annalise could learn or at least prepare herself for everything she is capable of" Annalise has no little idea how big of a trouble she is in, and most importantly she has no c
AnnaliseMy eyes fluttered open, pain shot through my hips.A groan leaves my lips as I scan my surroundings, my gaze falling on the duvet and the cold marble floor.No wonder my hips hurt.How did I fall off the bed though?I yawned before stretching my arms.A smile grazed my lips, Maddox scent lingered in the room.I got back on my feet and picked up the duvet before throwing it on the bed.That was empty.Where is Maddox? I couldn't help but frown and it only deepened when I checked the bathroom, he was not there either.Scenarios of last night flashed back in my head.I remember clearly the change in his body language.The guilt, regret and fear radiated from him.He looked vulnerable in that one second, although he was quick to mask it but I had sensed it already.For a second I thought he was guilty for trying to mark me without my permission but the fear he felt was conveying something else.I didn't pry him or push him to speak the truth because he clearly wanted space.It did hu
AnnaliseMy mother wiped the blood from my cheek with the tissue which burned at the contact but somehow she managed to clean it."Anna, it's not your fault..You did it to protect me sweetie" Mom said while cupping my face in between her palms.I held her hand before removing it from my cheeks.Her eyes blurred with tears when I stepped back but I was too much in a daze.One question flashed in my head."Is it possible that I could hurt you? Dad? Lucas and..and— Maddox.. I could hurt him because most of the time my outbursts are directed at him.She didn't let me finish, engulfing me in her arms while continuously chanting"no.. sweetie you can never, don't blame yourself" Tears rolled down her cheeks as she rubbed my back.I pulled away from the hug and nodded to ease her worry."I want to go on a walk," I said, glancing at the mess in the hall which was freaking me out.I want to disappear."I will join you" She wiped her tears and smiled."I want to be alone mom..Just need some tim
MaddoxMy grin only widened when Annalise clicked her tongue letting out a 'tch' sound before turning to look away from me.I sat next to her and stared up at the sky.To say I was sick worried for her would be an understatement.Luckily she is safe and sound."You didn't answer" I said, shifting my gaze on her face."No, I don't want another kiss" She said rather quickly, keeping her gaze still at her legs.I suppressed my smile before speaking "I was talking about my very first question.Did you eat?" Crimson shade appeared on her cheeks."Yea a little bit" Embarrassment edged her voice.I just want to grab her cheek and kiss the hell out of those lips."I will cook something for you if you stay over for the night" I offered.She turned to me so fast, I almost thought her neck would snap.Her wide eyes locked with mine.Is it shocking to offer someone a dinner?"Whatever you are planning in that little head of yours wouldn't happen" She warned."Sorry to disappoint you but I am not pla
AnnaliseEmbarrassment, excitement and pleasure dissipated with a striking speed of light, as soon as those words left his lips."I am nice to you but that doesn't mean I wouldn't show you your place" And the fuck does he think is my place?The sexual tension completely left the air, now anger flared in my chest as I grabbed the pillow and threw it straight on his face.Grabbing him by his shoulders, I pushed him down on the bed and hovered over him."Let me clear it to you.I am your equal.Don't fucking expect me to tolerate your shit and act submissive." I glare at him."You sort of misunderstood me" His hands moved up to rest on my hips while I narrowed my eyes on him."The hell did you mean by 'show you your place?" I asked.I know damn well higher ranks show themselves superior, females are treated inferior to them.But I thought Maddox was different considering the way he has been nice to me despite my stubbornness at times."Well that was for the teasing.In simple words, you'd be
AnnaliseHis dark gaze collided with mine tearful ones before it flicked to my hand that was still in my panties.I quickly retreated my hand back.My cheeks warmed with embarrassment."You never listen, do you?" His demanding tone only flared my need.I clenched on almost nothing.He moved with feeble, powerful grace towards me like a predator stalking its prey."Why is it so hard for you to understand?" He sneered down at me."My apologies Alpha, I didn't intend to disturb your sleep but self care is important as well" I bat my eyelashes at him, knowing damn well it's going to piss him off more."Lizy, why are you so" He groaned, running his fingers through his messy hair.He is way too charming even in the middle of the night."So darn sexy?" I winked at him."Yes but so fucking stubborn as well" "That's how you see it.I usually focus on the positive side" I tied my hair into a bun, trying to avoid the growing need that hurts now."Now could you please leave if you don't plan on helpin
Maddox LincolnResting my palms on the edge of the sink, I take a deep breath in order to calm myself, to calm the raging wolf of mine who is trying to take control.'You piece of shit!" He growls, his voice cutting off in between as I use every will of mine to shove him as far as possible..'Stop it.You know what can happen' I tell him calmly, aware of the situation.Angering him would make it worse.'It might…..not' 'I am not fucking taking risk!' I growled, cursing myself for losing it.My wolf shut himself willingly this time, leaving me alone with my thoughts that happened to shred my peace.How long? How long am I going to do it? I can't fucking deny her everytime.I want her just as much, to feel every single inch of her, to fullfill every single fantasy of her.Fuck it gets me everytime she looks at me with those beautiful eyes, be it innocence, sass or challenging look in those emerald orbs.It makes me want to hold her and take my time to explore every single inch of her till s
Maddox Lincoln'Asshole..Asshole.. asshole' I groan in annoyance, my wolf has been chanting that non-stop ever since I called him an ass in front of Lizy.He really plans on ruining my peace which is obviously working.I walked in my house with Lizy's luggage.Her emerald orbs locked with mine once I walked in the living room.Her mouth stuffed with a sandwich that I prepared before leaving."Easy Lizy.I don't want you to choke on the damn sandwich" I said.She swallowed it down before tapping on the table with her fingers.I didn't fail to notice the glint of mischief in her eyes."Thanks for the reminder.I would be disappointed to choke on a sandwich when there are other ideal things to choke on" She smiled sweetly, a little too sweet.I arched an eyebrow at her, knowing damn well the meaning behind her words.This girl is getting too bold.Not that I complain, I absolutely love everything about her but the bitter fucking truth is a barrier between everything I want to do, everything she w
At the Castle -Ezra walked in the room Annalise and Maddox were assigned to.He sighs, glancing between the couple.Fortunately, Maddox had gained consciousness but his body required rest so does Annalise.Ezra is still unknown to what stopped the demon, his curiosity keeps increasing.He had been waiting for Annalise to spare some time but much to his disappointment, she is still sleeping.He left the room and walked around in the corridor where he spotted Lucas standing by the window and staring outside."What are you doing here?" Ezra asked, standing next to him and staring outside as well."Breathing" Lucas mumbled, earning a heavy sigh from Ezra."Is everyone in your Pack a weirdo.None of you ever answers decently" Ezra grumbled."We don't like to be interrogated for such a basic matter." Lucas said, turning around then leaning against the wall.Slowly a grin appeared on his face.Ezra stares at Lucas for a moment, his face relaxing as he says, "Care to share why you are breathing he
Lucas Pov—"How are you going to find him?" Ezra asked, his gaze settled on the lifeless omegas who were getting put into the vehicle."You tell me" I demand.He frowned, turning himself to face me."I can't do anything" He raised his forefinger, signaling me to not interrupt.I stopped the urge to roll my eyes but annoyance clearly morphed my face."The demon who possessed my brother was called for a different purpose.I broke the spell to free my brother but we don't know the purpose behind Maddox one.He was able to control it for a decade.There must be someone to guide him.No?" Ezra said.I find myself pondering once Ezra's words registered in my head, there must be someone to guide him.His father perhaps? But Maddox wasn't on good terms with his father.Still, he was all Maddox had."I'll ask his father" I informed Ezra."Alpha" I mind linked Maddox's father.His response came out instantly, maybe he too was waiting for the news of our mission."Alpha Maddox is under demonic possessio
Annalise pov -Terror settled in my guts at the sight in front of me.The woman who held me captive exploded right before my eyes with just a snap of Maddox's fingers.It felt like a horror movie's scenes unwrapping one after another, the only difference being that I couldn't chill and everything cringes inside.Maddox fell down flat against his back while those silhouettes still surrounding him.He wasn't even doing anything to prevent himself from them."Maddox!" My throat hurts with the yelling but I tried to call him still.My heart hammered loudly in my chest at the very first thought that came to my head.No..he can't lose against the demon.I have to stop these silhouettes.I should be able to as they are formed with my blood.The wound in my stomach made it worse for me to move.I focused on the blood that had been pooling around me.'Leave him' I command.My eyes were slowly getting heavier but I commanded again, this time my anger rolled off me with strong force.The silhouettes
Maddox Lincoln-Rage bubbled inside of my chest with such intensity like a volcano ready to erupt and engulf everything in the depth of its magma.Why the hell did she go to the Lycan Kingdom?That Ezra has been nothing but a nuisance and brought trouble on Annalise every damn time.First thing I wanted to do was kill Ezra and put Bella into the cells after coming to know my mate has been abducted."Alpha" One of my Delta voices brings me back to reality."What!" I snapped at the warriors whose face morphed with fear.Thomas stayed quiet, exchanging glances with Lucas.We were almost about to execute our mission to rescue the omegas after making a plan.And at the very same time, Bella informed me about Annalise.I have lost my cool ever since."You are going to kill each one of us with that anger and your demon," Lucas exclaimed.Only now that I realized my anger has been rolling off me with such ferocity, it stunned me and left my warriors suffocating in the process.Not an ideal plac
"Why? Alina Why!?" I let out the scariest growl ever causing everyone in the hall to flinch including the woman before me, my once dearest sister who gave me this betrayal in the return of all the love I had given her."Don't fucking yell at me Ezra" She hissed, glaring at me with so much hatred which felt like a dagger straight to my chest."You are really asking me 'why'? Is this how unnoticeable I was?" She laughed, freeing her arms from the guards and stepping forward."I knew it, I always knew it but here you proved how little value I hold in the castle.Open your eyes and see me brother! I have always been there but still treated non-existent, be it you, father- mother or anyone! I was nothing in any of your eyes.Everything and everyone has always been in your and Heath's favor." Tears brimmed in her eyes."I always tried to keep you out of any conflict Alina.It was for your own good" "No, nothing was for my good.You just think I am incapable, unworthy and weak.I had to get the
Ezra HartMy steps itself come to a halt when there was no more space left to walk.Bella bumped into my back, letting out a cuss before she steps back."Why did you stop walking?" She asked, annoyance laced her voice."Wait" I said and ran my hand to what I thought was a wall but it turned out to be something wooden.My eyes squeezed shut for a second at the bright light hitting my face.I open them and stare at the girl behind me who had her phone in her hand."Oh it's called flashlight.You must be still learning all the functions of your phone.It's okay, it happens" She didn't even let me speak.I know damn well about flashlight.It just didn't come to my mind at the moment."Push it open or slide it open.C'mon make use of these muscles" Bella said, pointing at the door.If she was not Annalise's friend, I would have smashed her head to the damn door.She could have brought someone smarter and less annoying.I used all my strength and pushed forward.My eyes widened, my body falling forw
At the Lycan KingdomEzra searched for Heath in the Kingdom, set his warriors in search of Heath but so far they find nothing.He was already shaken up with Katherine and the boy's death.The woman he loved so dearly has been killed and he couldn't take it.There was a time he thought nothing would hurt more than the woman he loved to be in someone else's arms but he was wrong.Her not breathing anymore is more painful.This time he is afraid he would fail to collect himself."My Lord, no one has seen him around as if he disappeared" His warrior informed."Ezra!" Adams' voice cut through the thick silence."It will be better to find where the spell is being performed," Adams suggested."We have searched the whole Castle and found nothing.Searching the whole Kingdom will take forever and we might lose Heath till then" Ezra explained, his frown deepening with each passing second."What about the she-wolf? You said she would come" Adams asked."I don't know.." Ezra sighs, looking so defeate
Maddox LincolnJoy and relief welled up inside of me, as I stared at Annalise in the kitchen.Slow dancing to some random song, yet concentrated on cooking something for herself.I don't think she sensed my presence yet.I smiled, stepping forward but stopped when a thought flashed in my mind.I kept my gaze on her still while the shadows slowly made their way towards her.Her shoulders stiffened, probably from sensing the shadows.They crawled up to her legs, sparks welled up inside of me.The shadows were on her skin but I could feel it within me."Maddox" She gasped, turning around and setting her gaze on me.I smirk seeing her flushed cheeks."Lizy" I teased, smiling ear to ear.She shook her head, turning to focus on cooking again.I withdrew the shadows back and approached her instead."Did you find their hideout?" She asked, as I hugged her from behind.The hideout of those bastards who had abducted omegas from different packs."Not yet, they are still searching.Lucas is with the warri
Ezra Hart"How is this possible?" I exclaim in distress.The man before me glanced around the room, skepticism morphed his face."Trust me, I have no idea but my assumption has 80 percent chances of it to be true" He stays adamant."Do you have any proof?" I asked.His brows stretched upon hearing my words.I can't just believe anyone in the Kingdom and waste my time on something that is based on just assumption.I am already busy finding the culprit behind my brother's condition.I fucking need to know who called demon on him."I know you have many serious issues to solve especially about the King but these two things could be connected.Just think about it for once, a witch knows more about demons than anyone else." He reasoned."If I consider your words for once, then don't you think the witch should have been found way before?" I questioned."Forgive me My Lord but someone from the Kingdom could be the one seeking help from the witch..Again it's just my assumption" "I can't question t
