Chapter 7 6 – Kennedy My eyes go wide. “First what?” Still dodging, I’m sure they all talk but it’s not something we talk about out loud as a group. “Yes!! I knew it! Who was your first kiss p> “Huh p> “Don’t play dumb, any red blooded non-mated woman
Chapter 6 5 – Kennedy Of course a text isn’t enough, Ben has to call with his response. “Are you sure? Have you talked to Jer about this. He’s going to be pissed if you leave and don’t say anything. I do like living you know p> “He doesn’t get
Chapter 5 4 – Kennedy Walking into the gym and flipping on the lights I, at least, think to warm-up a little first. I crank some angry rock music, grab a speed rope and start jumping to get my blood flowing and my muscles warm, still letting the rampant negative
Chapter 4 3 – Kennedy “So, the cat’s away. What are the mice going to do?” Tommy taunts. “This mouse has some homework to do and the Beta gave me something to test this weekend so we are playing hide and seek.” They all look up at that? Shocked faces
Chapter 3 2 – Kennedy “Hey Kennedy! Looking good girl! I think you get hotter every time I see you p> “Tommy. You saw me yesterday…at training…when I kicked your ass.” I didn’t actually kick his ass. I just didn’t get beat, and gave him a run for his money.
Chapter 2 1 – Kennedy The peeling sound of screeching tires. A loud thunk and an explosion of glass. An invisible force throwing me forward. But no control over anything, nothing to grab as my hands fly through the air. I hit a solid surface and jolted up. I gasp
Chapter 1 Prologue What do you do when you’re a human in a wolf pack and your best friend is the next Alpha? You join in that’s what. Or you join as much as a human can. Kennedy and Jeremiah have been friends since birth. Their moms were best friends
Chapter 197 Gavriel leveled a stare that immediately shut Uriel up. “Babysitting?” the Alpha King repeated, voice low. “You call guiding the Queen Mother’s temporary successor babysitting p> Uriel straightened so fast his spine cracked. “I… didn’t mean it like that p> “Then choose better words,” Gavriel said coolly. “Beatrice
Chapter 196 The throne hall dropped into suffocating silence. Ava’s fate was sealed. But Gavriel wasn’t done. Not yet. He had one last message, one last warning, before he delivered judgment. He looked down at Ava, and his voice was calm enough to terrify. “When I return,” Gavriel said, voice
Chapter 195 Uriel raised his staff. Zander had already given him solid evidences earlier that the man managed to gather whenever he slipped inside the royal estate grounds before. Not only proof against Ava, but a full list of who inside the estate was secretly working for Cain. A sharp
Chapter 194 The way back to the palace was a blur of wind and rage as Gavriel and Uriel came out from Urie’s portal. Gavriel didn’t speak at all. Uriel followed a few paces behind him, silent as well, sensing the storm simmering beneath the Alpha King’s skin. They crossed
Chapter 193 Osman pressed his hands to his ears dramatically, pacing back and forth near the cottage window. “Seriously? How long do they plan on cheering wildly? It’s been forever!” he complained, sounding both irritated and secretly impressed. Candice leaned beside him to peek out. Sunlight spilled over the clearing
Chapter 192 “It’s the antidote for your mother,” Zander said, hand trembling. “I gave Ava a potion so she could manipulate the Queen Mother p> Gavriel’s jaw tightened. “You let that wretch control my mother p> “Yes. I’ll accept whatever punishment you decide. But the antidote works, give it to
Chapter 191 Gavriel moved faster than anyone. He caught Althea in his arms before she hit the ground. “Althea—!” His voice cracked with tension he didn’t show to anyone else. Her head lolled weakly against his shoulder, her breath shallow. Gavriel turned sharply toward Zander. “What’s happening p> Zander swallowed,
Chapter 190 Gavriel didn’t answer immediately. Not because he doubted but because he weighed the truth, the danger, and the promise he was about to make. Then he stepped forward, gaze steady. “I know what Althea is,” he said. “And I know what the world will think of her. I
Chapter 189 Zander exhaled slowly. “Desperate doesn’t even begin to cover it p> Candice nodded, understanding. Velmora’s laws were absolute. Every House handled its own affairs, its own chaos. No interference, no alliances, no aid… not even in tragedies. If one House was attacked or framed, the others were forbidden
Chapter 188 The projection wavered slightly, as if Althea’s mother knew her time in the message was running short. “If I could have stayed,” she said, voice trembling, “I would have told you myself. But if something happened to me… I needed you to have the truth because you deserve
Chapter 187 Althea bit the inside of her cheek, trying to steady the wave rising in her chest. Seeing the familiar handwriting of her mother, warmth washed through her so suddenly it almost hurt. Zander gently lifted another stack of manuscripts — thicker, older, bound in deep blue paper marked
Chapter 186 “Amon?” Althea repeated with a faint frown, wanting to make sure she hadn’t misheard. “Amon is the name of your mentor p> Zander nodded once, his gaze steady on her before shifting back to Candice to address the question she had asked earlier. “I don’t know if Althea
Chapter 185 Gavriel’s jaw tightened. His grip on Althea’s waist didn’t loosen, but his eyes stayed locked on Zander’s projection. The silence stretched until even the steady glow of the shard seemed to dim. Finally, Gavriel exhaled slowly. “Fine,” he said. His voice was calm, but it carried the weight
