INICIAR SESIÓNBROOK'S POVI was a complete mess of emotions.It felt impossible to believe that everything had fallen apart this quickly. It was as though we had been pulled into a storm before we even had the chance to understand what was happening, and every attempt to find our way out only seemed to push us deeper into something we couldn't control.I hadn't seen Levi since yesterday afternoon. But I knew him too well and knew that he was somewhere searching for a solution or a loophole.Without a second thought, I picked up my phone and called Dagon who picked immediately."Hello?""Brooks..."I could barely hear anything. His voice was barely audible, weak enough that I had to strain just to understand the words. It sounded as though every sentence required more strength than he had left to give.A knot tightened painfully in my stomach."There's still no other solution?"The silence that followed was answer enough."The solution still remains the same. You must be there with Levi tomorrow mor
LEVI'S POVBrooks' body kept fading away. It was happening so gradually that anyone who wasn't paying close attention might have missed it, but I saw every change.Every hour seemed to steal a little more of her. The warmth that usually lingered beneath her skin had begun to disappear, and there were moments when I reached for her hand only to feel nothing.By the following morning, things had become so much worse that Brooks started to hide from Rowan. Her own son.She couldn't bear letting him see what was happening to her, so she quietly began avoiding him altogether.Whenever he came looking for her and before he arrived from school, she would stay locked up in our room pretending to be busy, or ask one of the servants to keep him occupied somewhere else in the palace.She never complained about it, but I knew every second away from our son hurt her far more than she allowed herself to show.More than once, I caught her standing outside his room. She would stop just in front of th
BROOK'S POVI spun toward the doorway so quickly that my breath caught in my throat.Levi stood there, his face revealing almost nothing, yet I didn't need to see his anger visibly to know it was there. It was in the rigid set of his shoulders, the tightness in his jaw, and the way his eyes locked onto me the instant he stepped inside.He didn't so much as glance at Dagon. It was as though no one else existed in the room.Without taking his eyes off me, he crossed the room in long strides until he was standing directly in front of me.He reached for my hand, but his hands closed around nothing. His fingers passed straight through me as though I wasn't there at all.Levi froze, and so did I. For one long, unbearable moment, neither of us moved as we tried to figure out what just happened.Then, as though convincing himself he had somehow missed me the first time, he reached for me again with both hands.The result was exactly the same. His hands slipped through me and closed around not
BROOK'S POVI sat quietly in the back seat of the car staring out the window as the city lights slipped past one after another, but I barely noticed any of them.My hands rested tightly in my lap, my fingers laced together so firmly that they had begun to ache, yet I couldn't bring myself to loosen them.I had tried everything since leaving the palace. I had tried distracting myself, closing my eyes, and convincing myself that it would eventually pass, but nothing worked.The voices only grew louder and they never truly stopped anymore.Some sounded distant, while others were so close that they felt as though they were whispering directly into my ear. They overlapped one another until I couldn't separate one voice from the next, and the constant noise was making it harder and harder to think.I couldn't take it anymore and that was why I had to go to him again.Dagon was the only person who seemed to understand what was happening to me, and he was the only one who would know how to ma
LEVI'S POVIt had been a long day, and all I wanted was to get home. My thoughts drifted to Brooks almost immediately, just as they always seemed to.I thought about how she was doing, whether she had eaten, whether she had managed to get any rest after the nightmares that had left her trembling in my arms the previous night.A vibration from my phone pulled me away from my thoughts. I glanced at the screen to see a message from Theo.Without thinking much of it, I unlocked my phone and opened his message.It was an article about the only way for the White Wolves could be revived. I read it, and it was through the death of the last surviving descendant of the man responsible for their massacre.Me.I frowned. “What is this?”I scrolled down just as another message entered.It was a picture and the moment it loaded, every other thought disappeared from my mind.It was Brooks and she was sitting across from Dagon. She had met him again without telling me.My jaw tightened as I stared at
BROOK'S POVSleep claimed me almost the moment I closed my eyes. Levi had completely worn me out, trying to show me how much he would never get tired of me.I really appreciated that, but the moment I slept off, I found myself trapped inside another nightmare.The world around me had changed completely. I was no longer lying safely in the bed, in Levi's arms.I was standing in the middle of the White Wolves' homeland, but there was no trace of the beauty I had witnessed through the pendant. Everywhere I looked, there was destruction.Thick black smoke swallowed the sky until there wasn't a single patch of blue left above me, and towering flames devoured homes one after another while terrified screams echoed from every direction.The air was suffocating with smoke, blood, and ash, making every breath feel heavier than the last, and no matter where I looked, all I could see was death unfolding before my eyes.My heart lurched painfully inside my chest as I stumbled forward, desperate to
LEVI HAWTHORNE Seven years later. I've always known Brooks Beauregard was my mate. I knew it from the first day she resumed at **** when her scent hit my nostrils and my whole body became enveloped with a want so visceral that I had to excuse myself from the classroom to take a cold shower.
BROOKS I tried to convince myself that it was a lie, but the pictures staring back at me from my phone told a different story. Levi and Seraphine were standing side by side, matching rings on their fingers and smiling like the world was their oyster. My breakfast rose to my throat, and I had to
BROOKS I never thought my fantasy could come true, but as Levi kissed me with all that desperation and hunger that threatened to consume me alive, I realized that this was really happening. “Fuck, Brooks,” he groaned into my mouth. I couldn't believe how utterly sinful and addictive he sounded, “
Brooks Girls like me shouldn't want boys like Levi Hawthorne. He was the alpha prince, the most popular boy in school whose name was on the lips of every single girl. I was the wolfless omega, the orphan who only got to breathe in the same air with him because of a welfare scholarship. But stil
