APRIL'S POV His words felt like a knife to my chest and I fell to the ground, with my hands clasped in front of me as I cried. "Alpha—" He kicked my sides, making me to fall over backwards, "Don't you dare mention my name again! I have nothing to do with you." His kicks became harder on my sides, sending shots of pain through my body. In an instant, a strong pair of hands grabbed my arms, pulling me up from the dusty ground. "Can you—" I started to say when a hand swung through the air and landed on my face, causing me to go blind for some seconds. My mouth suddenly felt wet, so I coughed and blood trickled out of my mouth, down my jaw. "Make sure she doesn't find her way to this place until the mating ceremony is over. I don't want to be interrupted by this nuisance one more time" Alpha Winston ordered, and the two guards who stood on both my sides, started to roughly drag me out of the crowd. I didn't know which was more humiliating; the mocking stares from the cr

APRIL'S POV "I wonder what you were doing out there, alone in such a dangerous place." Someone said besides me. I stiffened. My eyes were closed, but I could tell that I was laying on a soft surface. It wasn't the wet grass of the forest, neither was it the hardness of the ground. It felt more like a bed. I held my breath for a moment, struggling to remember if any of the guards had caught up with me. I could barely remember anything, but I was aware of every sound around my immediate environment. My eyes fluttered open, just in time for me to see someone pull his hands away from my face. A man! He had a chiseled jaw and his brown hair fell over a part of his face. He seemed shocked to see me awake and he drew back a few inches. I shut my eyes again, wincing as a sharp pain seared through my head. My head thumped, but that didn't matter to me. I was supposed to be focused on where I was. Had I been caught by Alpha Winston's men? I tried to remember the last

Alpha Kayson's POVAs I stood at the conclave, I repeated the ancient chants alongside the other Alphas. The elders led the rites, their voices echoing through the mountain plane. This sacred gathering was strictly invitation-only, and any stranger would be met with swift death. The location was always a secret, changing with each conclave to ensure our safety. I had chosen to bring only one escort, Thane, my trusted gamma and pack member. His loyalty and prowess were unmatched, and I knew he would have my back in any situation unlike Reese these recent times.Just as the procession reached its midpoint, a loud commotion erupted from the base of the mountain, where our security team was stationed. The noise grew louder, with snarls and growls filling the air. Every Alpha's eyes narrowed, their hackles raised as they sensed potential danger. Some of the Alphas had already shifted into their wolf forms, their eyes glowing in the darkness. The procession halted, and Thane instinctively m

April's POVThe heat of passion consumed me, and I was utterly lost in its flames. I couldn't explain, couldn't rationalize, how I ended up entwined with Alpha Ryder. One moment, I was seeking comfort in his embrace, the next, our eyes locked, and a long-suppressed mutual desire burst free.It was as if our connection was beyond my control, beyond explanation. A primal force that neither of us could resist. His hold tightened, and I felt his hardness pressing against my almost bare thighs, sending shivers down my spine. As I raised my head to meet his gaze, he captured my jaw with his large hands, his fingers digging into my skin with a possessiveness that made my heart race.And then, his lips claimed mine in a kiss that was both fierce and tender, devouring me with a hunger that left me breathless. My lips seemed to have a mind of their own, responding to his passion with equal fervor, as if our mouths were made to fit together like two pieces of a puzzle.His fingers traced the cur

Alpha Kayson's povAlpha Ronan stunned us all, his sudden transformation into a gold-colored wolf catching us off guard. I was still speaking, my voice raised in anger, when he launched himself at Alpha Ryder. The two Alphas clashed, and tore at each other. The sound of their growls and snarls filled the air, their battle intense and ferocious.For a moment, I considered intervening, to stop the fight before it spiraled out of control. But then I hesitated, realizing that this confrontation had been a long time coming. Alpha Ryder and Alpha Ronan had been at odds for far too long, their rivalry simmering just below the surface and just maybe this might be in my favor.So I made a split-second decision, my eyes fixed on April's limp form. I transformed into my half-wolf form. In one swift motion, I scooped up April, cradling her in my arms as I turned to flee the scene. I didn't look back from the chaos, April's safety was my only concern.Alpha Ronan's PovI was consumed by rage and b
