MasukDominic.I barely felt sadness. But as I gazed down at Sunder all bent and out of shape, I knew that she deserved better.I had been in a deep and tense conversation with First Clan Chief who had finally revealed what made him confidence about going against me.I was amused by what he told me. Then I heard the sounds of stones breaking. I knew that it was Sage and she was in trouble.And then here we were in my favorite part of the hotel with my rare marble collections tampered with and some of them were already shattered to pieces."I leave you alone for some time and here you are destroying art pieces to pieces." I mused as watched her skin begin to burn."What..." Sunder trailed in surprise and fell on her already damaged knees. I looked over at Sage and felt her intensely radiating energy.She was safe but she looked shaken and slightly trembly."What is happening to her?" she demamded breathlessly."I am putting her out of her misery," I replied."Or maybe you should help her ins
Sage."We must not underestimate her, Sage." Oracle said to me. "This is the first time I hear how worried you are," I told the entity sharing my body and mind."You may be powerful, Sage but you are not untouchable." Oracle replied. I needed to hear that because it kept me even more focused.I knew how dangerous Sunder was and just how much of a combatant she was.My ears rang and pulsed with Source magic. The Source magic fused with my wolf core giving me a very high perception of my surroundings. I controlled my breathing and submitted myself to my magically fused instincts. Sunder charged at me. I was momentarily shocked by how fast she truly was. She had read my body language and knew from exactly which angle to strike at me from. I moved just in time and barely escaped by an inch. With every bit of power in me, I jumped back up into the air and did two flips and landed directly behind the statue of a naked woman. The head of the castle exploded with a powerful force as Sund
Sage.My mind screamed for something else to do. I was already bored of looking at the horizon of Black Crest.I could hear vividly, the call of trouble whisper to me. I could feel my freedom seep out of my in little droplets.I went back inside and thought of what Dominic and the First Chief were talking about.The sheer humiliation Dominic had put that werewolf through had physically hurt me. I shuddered uncomfortably as I imagined myself bump into him.
Kieran.It dawned on me that Sage was not coming back. Dominic had made her Luna. How dare him? Without consulting me first? His audacity irked me and I wanted nothing but to crush his spine. I knew because my spy had been killed by Sage when he tried to play his hand. Fortunately, he had not been linked back to me. I cursed softly as I thought of how difficult it had been to plant Lord Baron at Black Crest as my eyes and ears. His death was a foolish one. He had no business seeking out Dominic nor trying to assert a dominance he did not posses. It was illegal to have spies in another Alpha's territory. Black Crest belonged to Dominic by rule and by blood. I had no business there but that would not stop me from getting what I want from him. Sage Winters was now Luna. It was still shocking to hear. "He played us," Asher announced himself arrogantly, distracting me from my thoughts. He seemed agitated by something but I didn't care what it was. After the disgusting act he had com
Dominic.I gave her the time alone she so clearly needed, though it cost me more restraint than I wanted to examine. Five years of not knowing where she was, not knowing if she was safe, not knowing if she thought of me at all in whatever version of a life she'd built without me, and now she was one floor away, on a balcony I could reach in under a minute, and I made myself stay exactly where I was.Some lessons I had learned the hard way. Chief among them: Sage did not respond to being chased. She responded to being given room to choose, even when every instinct I had screamed to close the distance and not let her out of my sight again.I dressed and went looking for Argos instead, found him exactly where I expected, already three steps ahead of whatever crisis the morning intended to hand me.
Sage.I didn't remember falling asleep. One moment I was watching the last of the party guests trickle toward the elevators, and the next I was waking to grey light filtering through unfamiliar curtains, my body curled instinctively toward the warmth beside me before my mind caught up to where, and who, that warmth belonged to.I didn't move. Dominic's breathing was slow and even behind me, the particular stillness of someone who slept the way predators slept: lightly, but completely, ready to wake at the first wrong sound. I let myself lie there for one long, indulgent moment before the memory of the previous night caught up with me in full, Lord Baron exploding into pieces, the Beta vomiting blood at my feet, an old man crawling across marble while a room full of strangers laughed.I eased myself out from under the bl
Asher“And what if I killed you all right here, right now?” I asked Magnus, letting the threat hang in the air between us.I expected fear. I expected at least a flicker of self-pres

Sage.He was very timid for a warrior. I had heard near mythological exploits about him and yet here he stood awkwardly before me like he was afraid if embarrassing himself before me.
Sage.I trembled with fear and worry as I stepped into the Manor. The only person that was aware of my children was Marcus, my father’s best friend and archivist. I was sure he would not have told anyone because he too would be complacent in covering up my escape which would put him in a terrible p
