LOGINIf I wasn't battling a never-ending internal pain, I would have gotten to the Silent Blood Pack earlier than this. Physically, I'm not in good shape. Anyone with two working eyes could see that I could barely stand properly without holding onto the bar gates. But whenever I think about my Lila and how she was in the arms of a bastard, my energy spikes from zero to a hundred percent. The next thing I know, I'm ripping the giant gate of the Silent Blood Pack off its hinges."I need to see my Lila. Get out of my way," I whispered at the men, their teeth bared in snarls as they shifted into their half-wolf forms, ready to attack me.They came after me, and with a wave of my hand, they flew backward from an external force. I don't have the time to engage in any bloody fight. All I want is to see my Lila right now.My legs felt like heavy rods with every step I took. I could finally smell her sweet rain scent, the one that always gave me peace, and I just couldn't wait to see her and take h
After I was completely dolled up from head to toe, I sat alone on the bed, bracing myself for the next event. Every now and then, I glanced at the window, praying for darkness to take a little longer to arrive. I wasn't ready for whatever was about to happen, and if there was a way I could reach Reis, I'd tell him not to bother coming. I'd tell him to forget about me, to abandon me like he did on our wedding night."Sissy, what is going to happen tonight?"Marcy was sitting on the floor in her part of the room, staring at me with the most curious expression I'd ever seen on her face.Every now and then, one or two people marched in and said something like, *Alpha Cillian wants you to do this tonight. Alpha Cillian wants you to do that tonight.* And every single time, Marcy listened."It's nothing." I shook my head, forcing a smile. "It's going to be okay.""Sissy, you know you don't have to lie to me anymore. I know you think I'm still a kid, but I'm a smart kid. I know nothing is goi
Blood running.Danger. Tension. Closer. Closer...I jolted awake by some unknown force, finding myself panting heavily. Instantly, Alpha Cillian's voice rang in my head. He wanted me to kill Reis with an intimidating blade infused with all the poison in the world, and then he wanted to mark me and make me his Luna.He said I was Reis' fated mate, the only one who could break his curse. And I couldn't help but wonder if Reis married me because I was his fated mate and he wanted to break the curse. But then Cillian pointed out that the Alpha must mark the Luna first, and Reis made no effort to mark me. Instead, he resisted quite a lot, even when I willingly gave myself to him.I'm not sure how long I'd been blacked out, but when my eyes finally opened, I found myself back in the historical building Alpha Cillian had introduced me to earlier. My head throbbed. Carefully pulling the duvet off my body, I climbed down from the king-sized bed. The room was so vast it creeped me out."Sisi."
I have never felt this weak in all my years of living. I've been in bed for goddess knows how long. I'm not sure if my damn legs even work anymore. Another sudden pain struck me, forcing me to grip the white bedsheet tighter. My chest rose and fell heavily, the faint warning of the torture I was about to receive tonight striking me like flashes of lightning.The pack weather forecasters predicted the blood moon would rise tonight. I haven't fully recovered, and I wasn't sure how I would cope with the torture it would bring.Deep down, I know I'm doing this to myself. I'm locked up here, suffering and hiding from the only woman who could anchor us; me and Keal.A few minutes from now, Rhodes and Vane are going to arrive and attempt to lock me in the obsidian chamber, so I'm just lying in bed, feeling as useless as I can while I wait for them to come pick me up.My ears automatically twitched as I sensed Vane's approaching presence, but this time it carried tension. I waited for seconds
"Welcome to my den, Lila." Alpha Cillian, standing in front of me, spread his arms wide toward the old-fashioned-looking penthouse before us. "It's not as impressive as the Tartarus Pack Alpha's penthouse because this one has history," he said with a smile."I'll give you a house tour after we have some tea. Come on in." He stepped aside, motioning for me to move forward. "Ladies first."Comply with him, Lila. He has your sister, remember.I told myself, plastering a fake smile on my face and forcing myself to step inside the historical building.The place looked like something he had inherited straight from his ancestors, and no renovations had been done since.The vibe of the den was seriously creeping me out. Eccentric paintings hung on the walls, and the hallway was lit by fancy candles mounted along them. I followed him carefully, not missing a single step.I didn't trust this place one bit. A trap room could be hiding somewhere, and you wouldn't even know until you fell into it.
The woman looked nothing like Zoey. She didn't have that sweet, angelic smile that could wash away your problems. In fact, I wasn't even sure she knew how to smile at this point. She looked strict, strong, and with a slight touch of creepy."Sissy... what's happening to Zoey?" Marcy asked fearfully beside me.I gripped my sister as tightly as I could, slightly hiding her behind me. I wanted to tell her it was going to be okay, but I didn't even know how to convince myself of that.Forcing a lump down my throat, I finally opened my mouth."Zoey? What's going on, and why are we here?"The woman slowly turned her head toward me as though I were some stranger."No Zoey," was all she told me."Why did you bring us here?" My question came out as a demand, and I tightened my grip on Marcy.I could easily turn back to the exit and try to run, but there were sentinels guarding it behind me. There were also some by my sides and others in front of me. I was surrounded, and Zoey... or whoever in
I never failed to get a front-row seat every time I got invited to the Global Festive Run, but today I felt more powerful and excited because I had my Lila sitting beside me. I tried my best to make sure she was comfortable, but still, she always tensed up each time she sat beside me, and I didn't
The next day, we began the journey for the festive run, just as Reis had said. Currently, we're sitting in the car, just me and the bloody Alpha, while another car followed behind where Malakai and Vane stayed together. My hands were cold as we almost arrived at the arena. I've seen it a lot on TV,
The bloody Alpha was sitting on the bed with his legs spread apart. His suit jacket was tossed carelessly beside him, and for the first time, I was seeing him in just an inner shirt, half-buttoned and exposing the hard planes of his chest.My heart skipped another beat. It was impossible to deny th
I didn't realize the world outside the Tartarus pack was this colorful and gleaming. Staring at the bright, beautiful roads of London as the car drove down the street, I resisted the urge to roll down the window, stick my hands out, and let the cool London air brush against my skin.We arrived at a
