Kael’s POV I informed the rest of my betas about Riian. When Tatiana suddenly informed me Ayla was nowhere to be found and she caught a familiar scent. It was that of the spy recruit. Jax.I went after Riian first, desperately tracking his scent, but it cut off sharply at a dead end.If I couldn’t find Riian, there’s only one person that could lead him to me. I searched around the wolf fangs quarters until I found Caleb’s room. My chest tightened when I spotted a familiar wrist band. I picked it up, seeing it had Caleb’s scent all over it and began tracking him down. It led me deep into the forest, far from the wolf fangs camp.Then I came across a clearing, suddenly picking up Riian’s scent again. Blood smeared the ground, trailing deep into the clearing. They had used Riian’s blood like breadcrumbs to bait me. My blood ran hot, pulsing violently in my veins as I followed the trail into the forest. I pushed forward, tracking broken branches and disturbed soil.“Well, well, well…

Kael’s POVWhile we were back to the warrior’s chambers, Simon informed me the scouts who had been sent out were back and the report stated that the wolf fang’s members had been spotted forging silver weapons while the rest drank and celebrated their supposed victory. A chuckle escaped me. Did Caleb truly believe I was the same wolf from years ago?Right from the suspicion, I had spent weeks preparing for this. Every warrior, every soldier, every strategy. They had trained till exhaustion took over their bodies. They were ready, both physically and mentally. I led my men while the paired warriors guided the soldiers into their assigned positions. Before we left, I gave one final order. “Anyone who finds Caleb should keep him alive.” I needed him breathing and conscious, I wanted him to watch everything he had built crumble before his eyes, just as he had once destroyed mine. We ambushed the wolf fangs common area, immediately taking down the wolves at the entrance.The attack beg

Ayla’s POV.Kiara opened the door for Kael. Warmth pools around me as his huge frame steps into the room.His gaze swept over me before the others, analyzing us before asking “Am I interrupting something?”Kiara chuckled, lifting a brow. “Not really. Your warriors are just about to leave.” Lydia caught the cue and stood up immediately. Same way I nodded in agreement to Kiara. “We just came to check in.” I murmured.“Good. Simon is looking for you, Lydia. You should report to him.” “Yes, alpha.” She did a little bow before waving at Kiara who returned the wave with a soft smile. As Lydia slipped out past him, Kael’s gaze lingered on Kiara. His brow furrowed slightly. “Were you crying?” he asked her in a calm tone.“Of course not.” Kiara lied smoothly. “I’m fine, just dealing with the fumes of these herbs.” She shifted, deliberately redirecting his attention.“Do you need something?” She asked him.“I came to ensure you were fine, and also prepared for the lockdown” he muttered, th

Ayla’s POV.My name got cleared during the evening gathering, some apologized to me while some simply averted their eyes. None of it mattered though. We busied ourselves with preparing for the war, Tatiana had told us everything we needed to know about the territories and also mapping out areas we shouldn’t be in.Though we were all paired together, Kael was still the head warrior and Riian the second-in-command. In case something happens, we had to follow up with him. The remaining soldiers, about fifty of them, had been given several tasks, a few were sent to scout areas, some were placed at the entries and exits of the pack while some patrolled the whole pack, including the sleeping quarters, kitchen and safeguarding the little pups. The rest were prepared by Simon and Riian to accompany us to war. I sat with Tatiana, both of us clad in the appropriate protective wear as we sharpened silver knives. My mind wandered, drifting back to the conversation with Kael, since I’ve gotten t

Kael’s POV.I knew that question would come eventually. My biggest fear was that it would come from the one person I couldn’t bear to lose.“About this curse, I—”Before I could finish, Riian’s voice cut through my mindlink, severing my words. My hands instantly curled into fists.Ayla caught the sudden shift in my expression. “What’s going on?” she asked, her voice sharp with instant alertness.“Two of the gate guards just dropped dead,” I said, the words heavy in my throat.Ayla’s eyes narrowed. “The Wolf Fangs.”I quickly mindlinked Riian to assemble the senior warriors. Turning back to Ayla, I forced my racing pulse to steady. “Let’s pick this up later, love.”“Sure,” she agreed, her gaze unwavering. “What’s the plan?”“Fight,” I said. I paused, forcing down the rage threatening to rip through my veins. “But first, we bury our dead.”The burial was sad but swift. Two good men, gone in an instant. The heavy silence of their loss followed us into the warriors' strategy room, where m

Ayla’s POV.My emotions spiraled with each second, confusion, rage, anxiety, fear… they all kept rushing to me. I tried to cry, but tears wouldn’t budge as I was being dragged away. I expected to be locked up in a dark, rusty cell but to my surprise, I was brought to Kael’s quarters. Maybe he’s trying to help us escape, a delusional Maya rants inside me. Escape from what exactly? I’m not the spy. Ohh, we’re not the spy. Damn.Since meeting Agnar, Maya had become impossible. Every waking moment she reminded me that our mate existed. As if the bond wasn’t difficult enough to ignore, she made sure I never forgot what we were missing. Well, there goes our mate, he literally just announced me as a spy in the presence of the whole pack. My mind leaps back to the moment alone in the chamber with him. He asked if I trusted him and foolishly I had to say yes. The door knob clicks and the door slides open, revealing Kael.“Why?” I snapped.“I’m sorry, but I need you to listen to me.” He sa

Cheyanne.I wanted to scream — no, I wanted to tear the heavy satin off my skin and just run anywhere but here, my hand wouldn’t stop shaking and my lips trembled. But I couldn’t, Gia was the only person who would know I was actually missing and if they took her too—so I stepped on my toes and placed a feather light kiss on my husband’s lips. He didn't return the kiss, he just stared with a cocked brow. Acting like he expects more.Around us, the small crowd erupted into cheers, a tear slipped out my eyes but I wiped it with the hem of my sleeve before it touched my cheeks. A small breathless laugh escaped my throat, who’d have thought? Staring at the huge stone on my finger that burned into my skin itching for me to take it off. It seemed more like a shackle.“Do you remember me now?” His voice was surprisingly deeply baritone and it terrified me more. He wasn’t looking directly at me when he spoke. He had his face straight on as we walked down the aisle together and out of the c

Cheyanne.The limousine door glides open to reveal an ancient, towering church, the type that you knew had a long history from the weathered stone and longitudinal walls. I looked at Rebecca who gave me a firm nod. Swallowing the lump in my throat, I swung one leg out then the other before reluctantly taking the driver’s hand for balance as I stepped onto the pavement. As we made our way towards the entrance, I noticed the environment was crawling with people trying to fit into the whole scenery. But the constant tapping of their ears and watchful eyes told me they were security.Seizing a moment of distraction, I sneakily reached the front of my gown sliding my hand under my boob pad where I’d hidden a chocolate protein bar. I managed to pick the half bar and shove it into my mouth, chewing furiously and hoping to God no one had noticed.“Are you good?” Rebecca asked, her sharp eyes catching my unease.By the time we entered the church, my hands grew clammy, slick with sweat. Rebe

Ronan. Ten years.Ten years in Hell and the first words out of my mouth were: “Where is my wife?!” “God, Ronan, it’s been ten years and the first thing you request for is for some woman?” Elena scoffed.“I’m not going to say it again, Elena.” I snapped and I could have sworn I saw her flinch. “Now we’re on first name basis. I birthed you Ronan, and I will—““No!”I cut her off mid sentence, moving dangerously close to her, while the rest of the relatives with plastered smiles and a fake welcome moved a few steps away… visibly terrified. But she remained glued to the ground. Dr Elena Vaughn, my mother stood her ground as I spoke. “You will do nothing, I promise you.” And for the first time, she faltered. I knew that face, because I had worn it for ten freaking years. “I’ll tell you where she is but you have to hear me out, Ronan.” I lifted my left hand to check the time on my watch, “Five minutes.” The room emptied out within seconds, leaving just us in the rich leather smelling

Cheyanne.Current day.After realizing crying wouldn’t solve a damn thing, I calmed down for the first time after spending a week isolated in this place. I didn’t know where I was, I had probably been transported to the other side of the world but I know one thing, I wasn’t just going to sit and watch them treat me like a damn prisoner, if I was still alive, it meant they needed me to be alive. So for the first time since I arrived, I finally ate; not the once I had done for just survival. I ate to my fill and took a very hot shower. Maybe if I followed their rules and was on good behavior, they would let their guards down, and I’d have my opening.I spent an hour studying the room and the guard shift—peeping through the curtains regularly and now I knew they always switched by exactly twelve pm noon and it took about two - three minutes for the next guard to arrive. I overhead footsteps heading to my room, so I jumped into bed and pretended like I was fast asleep.I heard the door

Cheyanne. A week ago.Choosing between Chinese takeout or pizza and coke had always been one of my biggest indecisive choices.My phone pings.Gia: why not just order something aside from those two. Something more fancy. Just as I began to type in a response to her, an email notification pops up on the top screen of my phone. I rolled my eyes realizing it’s from work before tapping on it.I jumped out from my lazy couch as I read the message over and over again to be sure I wasn’t seeing things.I immediately dialed Gia, who picked up before the first ring finished.“Code red, babe. You need to be here ASAP!!” She responds almost immediately, “on my way!”.In less than twenty minutes, a knock sounded behind my door. I sucked in a deep breath and walked over to open up for my best friend.“What happened? Are you okay?” She asked, looking pretty concerned with her jacket worn inside out.“I got it.” I muttered with a half-cry, half-smile face. “What do you mean you got it, omg you
