LOGINRowan's povThe silence in the room was suffocating, but inside the mind link, the roar of our telepathic argument was loud enough to shatter glass."You don't know what you're talking about, Rowan!" my father’s voice slammed into my mind, trembling with a furious attempt at authority. "You were just a child! You weren't there!""I WAS there!" I hissed back through the link, my eyes locked on his pale face. "I was a child, but my eyes were wide open. I saw every single disgraceful, self-serving thing you did to her. I saw what you did to Larry's mother."The King flinched, stepping back half an inch."If you stand in my way tonight," I warned, squeezing the link so hard I could feel his breath hitch, "I won't just mobilize the army. I will walk straight into the Pack Council. I will tell the entire kingdom every sickening detail. And I will start with my mother's brothers. You know as well as I do that my uncles will tear that crown off your head the second they hear what you did."A
Rowan's povThose were human assassins, and they were intent on brutally murdering Larry on the spot. If I hadn't intervened, Larry would have died that day. But I have a good suspicion of who sent those Assasins. But then.... "Calvin nodded slowly, listening intent."The second attack was at our home when Sasha was present," I continued, my voice dark. "That was done by a rival pack who have been raiding our territory. It was a standard territorial strike against me because someone leaked our location. But this... this is completely different. These aren't humans, and they aren't rogue or rival wolves wolves. They're high-grade, military-spec mercenaries. They bypassed state-of-the-art palace security, knew the exact layout of my private quarters, and brought anti-Alpha equipment specifically designed to suppress my bloodline. Someone immensely powerful yet very knwoledgble gave them direct access to us."Before Calvin could respond, the doors burst open again, and Sasha rushed into
Rowan's povThe moment Larry’s body went limp in the intruder’s arms, something ancient and terrifying shattered inside my chest.Seeing him being dragged away, defenseless and unconscious, unleashed a wave of raw, unbridled fury that burned straight through the wolfsbane in my veins.My mother’s bloodline... the ancient, twisted lineage that slept deep within my marrow surged to the surface with a deafening roar. My vision flared white-hot, the skin along my fingers splitting as my claws extended.I pushed off the floor with a terrifying burst of speed, my teeth bared, intent on tearing the leader’s throat out.Before I could land a blow, two of the mercenaries stepped into my path, before raising heavy, metallic cylinders. Suddenly... a high-frequency sonic blast ripped through the air, vibrating at a pitch designed specifically to disrupt an Alpha’s nervous system.I staggered with my head exploding in blinding pain as the runic silver chains wrapped around my torso like living ser
Larry's pov"I'm serious!" I yelled, with tears of frustration stinging my eyes as I looked between them. "I'm human! I've been sick my entire life! I am just a normal human!"The leader leaned down, his shadow completely blocking out the light as his voice snapped shut like a trap. "Is that the little bedtime story your Alpha has been feeding you this whole time, kid? If you are human, then I'm a fucking pink rabbit." He laughed mockingly. "Stop ling already and admit what you are." He insisted.I felt like I was loosing my freaking mind! What was wrong with these people?!"I am human!" I argued, my chest heaving as I glared up at him. "I don't know what you're talking about! I'm not trying to deny anything either, I'm telling you the truth, you have the wrong person!""Don't insult my intelligence," the leader warned coldly. Then He reached into his tactical vest, pulling out a small object, and carelessly tossed it right onto my lap.I looked down and saw that resting against the f
Larry's povThe heavy, chemical-induced darkness I was forced under didn't lift all at once. It receded in agonizingly slow, painful waves, leaving behind a pounding headache and a sudden, sharp rush of adrenaline.The first thing I realized was that I was completely incapacitated. My hands were pulled brutally behind my back, bound tight at the wrists with rough rope that bit into my skin, and my ankles were secured just as firmly.A thick cloth gag was jammed inside my mouth, choking my breaths down into muffled, pathetic whimpers. To make matters worse, a coarse fabric was tied tightly around my eyes, absolute blackness blinding me.I was lying on a hard, ribbed metal surface that vibrated violently under me. The steady, mechanical drone of an engine hummed through my bones, and the sharp, aggressive sway of the floor told me everything I needed to know.I was in a moving vehicle. I had been successfully kidnapped right out of Rowan's bedroom.My heart hammered against my ribs like
Larry's povWhat connection did Rowan have with my dead mother? How long had he known about me? And did that mean that he had built a massive, elaborate lie about finding me by accident?!What the hell was going on?!The realization of the deception felt like a physical weight that was suffocating me as I stared at the photograph.Before I could even stand up or process the massive betrayal, the entire atmosphere of the room suddenly shifted.Out of no where, there was a sudden, unnatural silence fell over the wing, and even the distant, comforting sounds of the palace occupants and guards completely cut out.It was weird and something inside me began stirring as if it knew something was coming... Something bad. Something very very bad.And before I could even begin to understand what I was feeling... the heavy glass doors leading out to the balcony suddenl shattered inward with a deafening, concussive crash.BANG!Shards of glass rained down across the room like a crystalline storm a
Larry's pov“Wow,” Rowan said. “I didn’t realize you’d be this shy after last night.”I gaped at him in shock. “After… after what?” my voice croaked.The laughter instantly died, and he frowned.“Wait,” he said slowly. “You don’t remember?”I felt dread fill my tummy. “Remember what?”He studied me
LARRY’S POV"Never, Larry,” Rowan snarled. “I will never ever stay away from you. And from today onward, you are forever mine!"I sat there analyzing his words as they rang in my mind over and over again. “You are forever mine!”He didn't sound like he was joking, or even teasing. There was an air
LARRY’S POV“Larry?” My sister, Sasha, called again, louder this time. There was something in her voice now— it sounded like confusion… and something very close to panic. “Larry, seriously, have you seen him? He’s not in his room. No one knows where he is.”Guilt slammed into me so hard I nearly ch
LARRY'S POVMy virginity was stolen last night… or at least I think so. But I’m not sure—I don’t really remember clearly.It might have just been a dream, or something worse… but I really hope it was a dream.I could only recall arching my back in response to the coldness of lube being rubbed on my
