I didn’t know how many could be inside the old building, but I entered roaring, ready to cut off heads. Too late—I was already a step behind. It was obvious they had fled in a hurry. They must have realized I was closing in on them. I shifted back into my human form, storming through…
“They were looking for a woman who could read what was written on the Altar. Adele tested all the locals and visitors, but we didn’t even know there was anything written there! I did it to protect my family. You would have done the same!” “I would have asked for help, you idiot! Vampires are…
It hurt. It hurt so much, like I had shoved my fingers into a burning oven. And honestly, they looked just like that—bleeding and scorched. “She’s not the one. That idiot girl messed up again! We shouldn’t have trusted her to handle this properly!” the vampire growled in frustration, kicking a chair aside. Then, as…
“Boss isn’t going to like this at all.” “What did you expect me to do? Pick up that disgusting corpse or stay there waiting for the specter?!” “This girl’s lucky—her face is so messed up, even the specter didn’t want her.” I could hear the conversation of what seemed to be two men. My whole…

Valeria clearly carries secrets and a painful past. She deserves a good werewolf. Someone who can love her unconditionally. Not a Lycan. Not even Quinn, who seems to…

It’s my fault. No one else’s,” he said, exasperated….
Chapter 16. VALERIA. “Y-Your Ma—” “Don’t even think about it,” Aldric snapped, his voice sharp, and the man’s lips clamped shut as if glued together. I had noticed he preferred to keep a low profile, avoiding the mention of his title whenever possible. The newcomer remained frozen in the middle of the room while the…
Chapter 15. VALERIA The King’s carriage was spacious and comfortable, lined with soft red and black velvet. We had left the castle that morning, traveling along winding roads toward a distant pack.
