Ethan's POV I shifted mid-jump into human form and continued my stride, breaking free from the cover of the trees behind and approaching Zayn's back porch, dodging the front entrance because I didn't want to be seen and I didn't feel like entertaining someone's crap tonight all in the name of being civil.The way I felt currently, just one wrong look my way would have me snapping someone's neck into two.One of my spies had reported what he recently just found out in Valerian's Court, Alpha King of Red Sun Hill city. The abomination burned my ears. As he hastily whispered the information directly to me, for fear of getting caught by someone, rage summered in my veins and my wolf called for blood. Specifically the blood of that bastard who dared to think he can get on with such an act.For a moment, I felt the buffoon had been fed the wrong information until I confirmed it from another source whom I trusted What the hell was Elena thinking?She wasn't, that's for sure.I'd felt unbot
Elena’s POVHIS cock is deep inside me again. Then again, it seems like he always is, ever since that fateful day."Where did your mind go?" I looked up at Valerian as he stopped moving to look down at me with a knowing look on his face. I can't deny sometimes I feel guilty and uncomfortable even though that's not his fault, it's mine.Before I could give him a plausible answer, he grips my cheeks hard and plunges his tongue deep into my mouth, sucking my lower lip and playing with my tongue."Don't worry about them, allow them to ruin what we have. Don't allow them to control or own you, even from afar," tells me, pausing the kiss like he knows exactly what I'm thinking. Seeing as we are connected, he does."Do you hear me?" He says softly, looking at me, his hips stilling. The way he looked at me belied the words he'd just spoken, and the butterfly wing feel of his lips, when they touched mine, brought tears to my eyes, making me feel silly for overthinking when I had this amazing m
Elena's POVI was still in shock over what happened yesterday, immediately the woman realized what happened. She quickly ushered everyone out and spoke to them about hopefully keeping their mouths shut about what happened.I got to find out that her name was Sophia, and one of Valerian's top security team members was a very skilled shifter. She was quite older too. After consulting Valerian and Andromeda, who I was getting to learn was a fountain of knowledge when it came to things like this, we learned that I was a Healer. An extremely rare breed of female wolf shifters said to be direct descendants or blessed by the Fates with the power to heal any fatal wound.Since I was an Omega, the ability had laid dormant in me since I was born but was always present. When Valerian fed me with his life force, it activated my ability. It was in my lineage as my grandmother had the ability but it skipped a generation- my mother- and landed on me.I was warned to be very careful with my ability
Elena's POVSOPHIA understood what I was going to do and she shook her head in defeat, moaning."No, no, no. Damn it, I knew I shouldn't have told you!." she shook her head about like a Barbie doll."Even if you hadn't, I would have found out. Where are they held?"She bit her lip to stop herself from telling me more, but I just folded my hands, an eyebrow arched until she spilled."We might have an idea but it is not solid yet. Why?""An idea just popped into my head right now"Look, there's got to be another way so you don't have to do this. Valerian's gonna kill me!" She hissed."He's not going to know.""I find it hard to believe he's not going to know his wife is missing." she eyed me disbelievingly."That's not what I mean, and you know it." She was still angry and a little bit headstrong so I grabbed her hands, forcing her to look at me, really look at me while I pleaded with her. "I can't just do nothing while innocent people are being hurt in this tussle between us and my mat
Valerian's POVI WAS neck-deep in confusion. The attacks were just coming back and forth so much that I couldn't step away from the command room for even a second. Only to catch a few hours of sleep and recharge.Even as I spoke, I had to strain to keep my eyes open."What do you have?" I spoke to the man right beside me, one that Jared had entrusted to me in his absence, promising me he would deliver a good job. I knew I remembered his name but my sleep-deprived brain couldn't be bothered to dig it out."Okay sir…" he trailed off, tapping a large tablet in his hands before sliding it over to me. "We have noticed that the attacks are concentrated on one part of the city. The part that is weak in security and structure, and I have also noticed that they haven't deviated from that consecutive attacks." He explains while I make sense of what he's showing me.I stopped the tablet with a finger, bringing it closer while I inspected it. Several red circles indicated spots that I knew had b
Ruby's POV My heels sunk into the ground for the third time, and I grunted in annoyance digging it out of the ground and bypassing that spot. Huh, I thought I had seen it earlier. Urgh, my favorite shoes might be ruined right now. Then again, maybe I shouldn't have worn heels out into the forest. Not like I had a choice to change into something simpler, that idiot had kept on ringing my line to pass me a piece of important information. I just sighed internally thinking back to that saying, "If you want something done well, do it yourself." Damn right! The fools I'd hire to follow Elena and capture her, then deliver her straight into the hands of Zayn and Ethan Incase she had another option, couldn't even carry out such a simple task. Thankfully instead of taking her right underneath Valerian's nose, she made it easier for me by sneaking out of the house as the proverbial lamb, or should I say wolf. Ha! "Are we there yet?" Her nasally, whiny voice was screeching down my skull lik
Ruby's POV Kat carried Elena in her arms and the sight was so comical, I wanted to laugh but I refrained. Elena's blood stained Kat's clothes and I could make some out dripping on her shoes. I allowed her to go forward, directing her to a different path but the one we took here will lead us away from Valerian's city not to it. Time was of the essence right now, I wouldn't have her bleeding on my watch. I whipped out my phone and dialed the number I'd been in contact with so frequently the past few weeks, I practically could recite it out loud by heart. "Yeah." He picks up on exactly the third ring as always, just like he loves to make me squirm a bit before he answers. "It's me. Ruby." I reply my voice low, glancing towards Kat. I could never be too cautious with these people, anything little thing and they'll snitch on you faster than you can blink. "I know who it's you. What do you want?" Such a rude ass motherfucker. He never greets, answers the phone with his name, or say
Zayn's POVI hesitated before answering.Duncan was the Alpha of the Tatum pack, taking the role from his now-deceased father.The Tatum pack was a well-known werewolf pack in the eastern part of this region basically due to his predecessor's influence. Back then even as a child, I used to hear stories of the then Alphas taking over cities and towns and their incredible prowess during battles. They established the name of their pack and made it the most feared in this region. No one didn't know of the Tatum pack here.But now I think it's safe to say that his ancestors would be rolling in their graves if they figured out what he's doing with the legacy they left behind. They still have the numbers and that reputation but they have grown complacent in their past victories and made no move to strengthen themselves.However, we still need their numbers to strengthen our victory."There's no reason for you to bother yourself about that." I lifted my glass to my lips, drinking down the fru
