On our way out, more women stared. It was getting unnerving—I wanted to snap at them.I was tempted to show them he was mine by wrapping my arms around his torso, but I wasn’t sure he would like that. He had never been one for such close contact, so I kept my hands to myself. But as if he could read my mind, he wrapped his arm around me—possessively.I stared up at him in surprise."I’m on my best behavior, but if those guys don’t stop undressing you with their eyes, I might have to reconsider," he said. I followed his line of sight, and sure enough, about five guys stood there, watching me. The moment Daemon’s gaze fell on them, they quickly walked away.“You don’t seem to be noticing how almost every female in the building is checking you out.” I said, and his eyes met mine again, making me realize that he truly hadn’t noticed them. How was that even possible? Some had walked past him multiple times just to get a single look from him, I couldn’t help but feel a little sympathy for t

I awoke in bed, wrapped in a blanket—but beneath it, I was completely naked. Daemon lay beside me.“I’m sorry.” He said, “I lost control.”I recalled passing out and couldn’t help but feel embarrassed. “That wasn’t on you. It was my fault.”“Not really. You passed out from blood loss. I should have fed before, but I had never tasted any blood as sweet as yours,” he said.“That feels and sounds like a compliment.”A small smile played on his lips. “Now, everything else tastes like dirt.”“You’re always welcome to drink from me.”“No. I’m not putting you through that.”I reached for my neck, and the bruise from his fangs was almost completely gone. “How…?”“You don’t have to worry about that,” he said.I nodded, rising from the bed.“You shouldn’t…”I didn’t listen. The moment my feet touched the floor, my legs gave out. He caught me instantly and placed me back on the bed.“You are severely sore.” He said, and I could almost see the guilt in his eyes. Not many things made him feel guil

Chaos erupted—people spoke over one another, everyone desperate to be heard."Enough," I snarled. “You bicker like children. I am not for one side or the other—this pack is one, and everyone will be treated equally. You’re right that I don’t deserve this position, but…” I paused, weighing my next words. “The Alpha will return” I assured them. Keith spat on the ground. "That's a lie, and you know it. You did something to him, and he's not coming back."I couldn’t hold it in anymore. “I did what I did to help him!” I hated the fact that I lost it, but I felt the need to let them know. “I love him, and I will never stop loving him.”“And yet here you are, taking his title and taking over his pack. You didn’t do this for love, but greed—greed for power. What you fail to realize is that you might claim the title as yours, but loyalty and respect are not passed down; they’re earned.” Keith finished; with one cold glance at me, he turned around and walked away. Many others followed.“You ca

ALIYA’S POVI caught the tension in his eyes. He didn’t have to say a word—I could tell something was very wrong. Daemon was rarely unsettled, and if this was enough to shake him, it had to be serious."What is wrong?" I asked.His gaze, slightly unfocused, finally settled on me. After I had brought up his past lover and he had left—supposedly to get me ‘food,’ though I knew it was really to avoid the conversation—I hadn’t seen him for the next three hours. He could have easily called for room service, so I couldn’t help but wonder if ‘getting food’ should really take that long."We need to leave now.""What?"He said nothing more, simply dropping the clothes in front of me. They were new."What is going on, Daemon?""They're here," he said, his gaze locking onto mine. I was completely naked beneath the blanket; the clothes I had been wearing were in shreds. He took off the blanket slowly; a part of me still felt the need to hide my nudity from him, even if he had seen me naked more t

Three days passed, and Daemon was mostly away from home. I didn’t know exactly where he went all the time, but I assumed it was more demon business. No matter how curious I was, I knew he wouldn’t tell me even if I asked.I could finally move around without assistance, so I decided to make the most of my day—even if there wasn’t much to keep me busy. I swept my hair into a loose bun before heading to the living room.I couldn’t believe I had forgotten about Tasha—the human girl who seemed to have an issue with me simply existing. She was seated on one of the couches, and I took the one opposite her.She looked up at me.“Sleeping beauty finally awakens from her long slumber. He really must be good if he had made you so sore you couldn’t walk for days.”My mouth fell open. How did she know?Then again, she had always been the prying type. I quickly recovered from my initial surprise.“It is none of your business, Tasha.”She scoffed. "I can't quite put my finger on it—I tried to figure
