LOGINOur breaths chased each other under the warm silk drapes, melting together the last bits of the thick passion we had just finished. My body felt so light, filled with the stable pure energy from the triple bond tattoo on my chest.Hunter laid his big body beside me, pulling me without resistance into the hold of his strong solid arms. His broad chest rose and fell steady as he kissed the top of my head for a long time, full of a possessiveness that was now absolute. "Finally... you're truly ours completely, Inka. With no shadows of fear anymore.""We won't let the world disturb this peace again, sweetheart," Seth whispered from my left side. He crawled closer, propping his head up with one hand while his other rough hand slowly stroked my stomach with a gentleness that contrasted his giant body. His brown eyes glowed warm, filled with a deep shine of worship.Zane sat leaning against the headboard, letting his slightly messy black hair fall on his forehead. The tactical man reached fo
The roar of the White Tower’s explosion slowly faded, replaced by the calm rush of a waterfall and the chirping of mountain birds that had been missing for so long. The eternal blizzard in the Western region was finally melting, letting tiny blades of green grass sprout under our feet.The four of us, me, Hunter, Seth, and Zane, sat exhausted on the grassy meadow a few hundred meters from the tower’s ruins, which were now nothing but rubble.Aria was curled up in my arms, calm again and sleeping soundly without a single scratch. Nearby, Dad and Gideon were taking care of Mom, who was slowly recovering completely now that the Council’s energy-draining magic was gone.“We did it, Inka…” Seth whispered hoarsely.The broad-shouldered man lay back on the grass, using my thigh as a pillow. His handsome face, still streaked with soot, looked up at me with warm brown eyes full of relief and deep adoration. His rough hand grabbed mine and kissed my fingers over and over, not caring who was wat
"You're not taking anything else from us, Chairman!" I scream, my voice echoing through the entire room.The golden light bursting from the tattoo on my chest explodes violently. My purifying blood flowing through Zane's palm becomes pure fuel that instantly reverses the Council's purple magic circulation. The purple bars trapping us suddenly crack, then shatter into pieces like glass.CRASH!The Supreme Leader staggers backward, his prized silver staff hissing hot and burning his own palm. "Insolent! What kind of power is this?!"The second the bars shatter, Hunter doesn't waste a single second. With an ear-splitting Alpha roar, his giant wolf form shoots forward like lightning. His golden claws slam into the Supreme Leader's chest, sending the old man flying into the crystal wall."This is the power of the woman you oppressed for eighteen years, you bastard!" Seth roars.Seth leaps, slamming his stone axe into the floor right under the remaining Wardens' feet. The ground splits open
"Focus, Inka. Follow my breathing rhythm," Zane whispers near my ear.The tactical guy presses his body close behind me as we sneak through the narrow, wet stone tunnel gap. His solid arm wraps around my waist, guiding my steps with a protectiveness that's also possessive as hell. In the middle of this tense situation, Zane's skin contact and those ocean-deep blue eyes always manage to anchor my heartbeat and calm me down.Zane ducks down for a second, locking his lips onto mine in a quick but deep kiss, channeling his golden static energy into my body to ward off the cold from the waterfall. "Hunter and Seth successfully cleared the lower path. Elena's holding cell is right behind this stone wall."Using the dagger forged from black meteorite stone sent by the Eastern Faction, Zane slices through the remaining outer defense seal on the tunnel wall.CRACK!The stone wall in front of us collapses, opening a direct path into a dark, cold circular room, exactly like the spiritual project
The golden mark carved above my heart pulses warm, sending out a steady, calming wave of energy. Through that sacred beat, I can feel the flow of power from Hunter, Seth, and Zane, now merged without any barriers. Inside the spacious cabin, it's dead quiet but thick with tense, romantic energy. Aria's passed out cold in a fur basket in the corner of the seat, while my body's completely surrounded by three dominant Alphas who refuse to give even an inch of space.Hunter sits next to me, his muscular arm wrapped possessively around my shoulder, pulling me until I'm leaning all the way back against his warm, broad chest. His big fingers brush against my arm in a slow rhythm every now and then, like he's making sure I'm really here in his arms."You're too quiet, babe," Seth says from the seat across from me.The stocky guy leans forward, resting both hands on my knees. His brown eyes, usually wild as hell, are looking at me with this intense tenderness. Seth grabs one of my hands, bring
"ARIA!"A hysterical scream tore out of my throat, cutting through the dead silence of the ruined Obsidian Pavilion. My heart was pounding so hard my chest hurt. Behind the wrecked doorway, the High Council Chairman just stood there, totally calm, his spotless white robes not even dusty from the fight. And there in his left arm, he was holding Aria, fast asleep under some kind of Council sleeping spell.Hunter's face twisted with pure rage, his wolf surging just under his skin till his eyes glowed that terrifying gold. "You old bastard! How fucking dare you touch my daughter!"Hunter and Seth both moved at once, fast as lightning. But before they could even get past the hall's edge, over a dozen Council Wardens in silver masks stepped out of the darkness and fog, aiming these long spears tipped with Anti-Alpha Runes, some old modified wolf-suppressing magic."Don't take another step, Blackwood Alphas." The Chairman's voice was so smooth and cold, dripping with absolute authority. He t
HUNTER'S POV "She left because you made her think I betrayed her!" My hands were shaking. Had to clench them into fists to keep from doing something I'd regret. "She left because of the photos you staged and the pregnancy you're faking and the lies you keep telling. This is your fault. All of it."
INKA'S POVI'd been waiting for almost an hour when I finally heard Tyler's truck coming back up the road.The whole time I'd just sat on the couch. Staring at the positive test in my hand. Trying to process what it meant.Pregnant.I was pregnant.The word kept repeating in my head but it still di
I sank onto the couch and put my head in my hands.The mate bond pulled. Stretched thin. I could feel Inka out there somewhere. Alive. But so far away. Too far away."I can't feel her properly," I said quietly. "The bond is there but it's faint. Like she's blocking it somehow.""We feel it too." Za
HUNTER'S POV I couldn't stay at the compound another minute. The mate bond burned in my chest like an open wound. Every second that passed without knowing where Inka was felt like glass grinding into my ribs. Victoria's doctor appointment had ended three hours ago. Dad had watched the ultrasound
