Kim always surprises us.
"Could they already have her?" Noah asked.“No, they would be taunting us right now. They’re probably as lost as we are,” I responded, trying to sound more confident than I felt. “Let's focus on what we can do. The flag capture is only successful if any of us can get Kim out of the forest, so we can
KimSurely they don't think that tying my hands and feet will make me wait for help, do they?The cold wind whipped through the trees, sending shivers down my spine as I kept my gaze fixed on the cave where my captors had left me. It was laughable, really. How stupid could they be to think that tyin
It was another goddess-forsaken full moon. I hated full-moon nights. Ever since the night like this when my life was torn apart. I stumbled through the front door, my clothes torn and matted with dirt. The foyer glowed with soft candlelight, illuminating elaborate flower arrangements and golden st
My heart pounded as I sprinted down the hall, my bare feet barely making a sound on the cold stone floor. I didn't want the man to change his mind; I couldn't bear the thought of what he might do if he knew my true status, lower even than an omega. My breaths came in ragged gasps, but I didn't dare
Knock. Knock. Knock.The soft knocks on my door made me jump as I finished drying off from my shower and wrapped the towel around me. I knew this was not my mother as she would have just came in. I said, “Come in."Margaret, the Omega housekeeper, entered my room. She was one of the few who was dece
The banquet came to an end two hours after Mother's announcement. A few pack members spoke to me. I was even brought food. It felt so good to actually be acknowledged for once. When the banquet hall was empty with just my family, I walked up to Kim and pulled her into a hug. She was tense, but it d
"Please help me," I begged, sending my desperate plea out into the pack link. "Someone, anyone, help me." But there was no reply, no sudden rescue, no last-minute miracle. Just the sterile walls of the operating room, the unnerving hum of the overhead lights, and the feeling of impending doom settling deep within my bones. This was it. They were going to separate us. They were going to take my wolf from me. I thrashed against my invisible bonds, bile and fury rising in my throat, but it was useless. I could only lie there, frozen in place, and watch in horror as they approached, tools glinting, ready to rip my wolf from my soul. “Goodbye Kailani,” my wolf whispered. The agony was unimaginable as if I were being torn apart from the inside out. A silent scream rang through my mind, full of anguish and despair. My wolf. They were taking my wolf. The pain was nothing like I had ever felt better. It felt as if my entire body was on fire. I couldn't breathe, couldn't think, and was l
The wolf's howl shattered the tranquil night, guests gasping as white fur rippled into pale flesh.Kim stood naked, hands clasped over her breasts, cheeks burning while she forced a smile. "My apologies,” Kim managed to stammer out. Terry whipped off his coat, draping it around her shoulders."Come, let's get you dressed." His arm encircled her waist, guiding her from the banquet hall.I clenched my fists, heart pounding. I couldn’t just let Kim have her. She wasn’t happy. I needed my wolf back—but how? I crept toward the corridor, straining to hear my sister and mother’s hushed voices."I can't control it, Mother. The wolf—it just came out, and then it shifted back. I had no control!”A comforting hand stroked Kim's hair. "Hush now, we'll find a way to fix this. Don't you worry."Kim sniffled. "But you said this would work!""And it will. It will just take time." My mother's voice hardened. "Now go get dressed. We'll discuss this later." Kim slumped off pouting while the coat swished
