NIXON
The heat and Nixon’s chocolate scent assured me that he was still alive, but the lack of two heartbeats was enough to startle me awake.
Alice was gone.
‘Where are you?’ I reached for her over the link.
‘With Maddy,’ she responded immediately and Declan cleared his throat from the side of the room.
‘She doesn’t look well still, she barely slept a few hours,’ he linked me, clearly not wanting to chance Alice hearing our conversation. ‘You’ve been out for most of the day, nightfall is in a few hours,’ he proactively answered my next question, which meant that crying was almost as draining on me as rebirthing was.
‘What was wrong with her? What is wrong with her?’

NIXON “What are you doing?” I asked Alice when she looked at me like she knew I was there the whole time, her thick scent hanging in the air, more potent than it usually is, “Is that your-” “Yes,” she interrupted, “Marcy needs it to survive now, Nixon.” “You’ve already lost enough,” I hissed, taking the time to really look at her and Declan was right. She looked paler, had bags under her eyes, and reacted slower than normal. We’ve never been sick, part of the shifter charm I suppose, but that's how she looked now. Sick. Onyx was scratching at the surface to be let loose, even though Marcy was Linden’s mate and he understood she needed it to survive, the fact that she was drinking Alice’s blood was boiling his. Marcy looked better, and she was technically dead.

ALICE “Just because you couldn’t survive out there, doesn’t mean I can’t,” Jerrika was arguing with the guards as I approached, “I’m allowed to leave.” “Jerrika, I can’t let you go out there, your dad-” “My dad is dead,” she said, a little too emotionless for a nine-year-old with a baby on her hip. Her back stiffened once she sensed my presence, standing taller as she prepared to face me. “Jerrika, what’s going on?” I looked down at her as I linked some of the mothers I knew had recent babies, ‘I’d like someone willing to nurse another to meet me at the main gate.’ “I’m not a prisoner, am I?” She asked so matter-of-factly with no hint of aggression and I knew what it was like to hide all of your emotions, she must be exha

IAN Scar walked into Ambrosia with a murderous look, nodding his head to the back at me, and talking as soon as the door to the office slammed behind us. “We have a problem,” he paused, “It’s Lucius again. He killed an Alpha-” “Which Alpha?” I could feel every ripple of muscle in me tense. I haven’t quite worked out which pack my little wolf belongs to, but I know where Scar found her. “Black Claw’s, I’ve already ruled out-” “Unless you know for sure, you can’t really rule a pack out,” I snapped as I debated how to go about this, “and I assume that this is a problem because you don’t know where she is?” “She’s resourceful,” he tipped his head slightly down before meeting my eyes agai

IAN Alice was down there. Of that I was sure. The Heir’s weren’t just any Wolves, they were the royalty of their bloodline, each of them somehow descended from the original Wolf… that must be making the pain of losing them worse. She wasn't just losing an Alpha, she was a losing part of herself. The other heir had shifted back to human form, a tiny woman to have come from such a wolf, and as she let out a piercing scream, the pain my mate was feeling mounted. The crippling pain didn't last long but still had me on my knees watching the devastation unfold, anything Jasper was saying being lost to the wind, but as soon as the pain in my chest let up, the Heir jumped into the air. I half expected her to change in

IAN “What… did you… do?” Huffed my giant, very angry mate as his large hand was crushing my jaw. Blame it on desperation, on the endless nature of his eyes, or on the fact that I’d been without him now for weeks, but I was paralyzed as I stared up at him. When he finds out I’ve known our mate for over two weeks, he’s going to lose it. When he finds out that Lucius was near our mate, that she’s in pain and I left her, I’m dead. Part of me always knew this day would come. He would find her and there wouldn’t be a need or a place for me anymore. I wanted a chance with her, any chance to know her before he took over her world... because he would. It would be hard for her to resist him. Even now while he's close to becoming undone, the painful burning in my che

RIAN Sebastian was barely holding himself together, letting little snippets of his thoughts through that he thought he was keeping private. Losing Lucius would seem insignificant to most, a blessing to others, but to him, he was what made becoming a Vamp bearable. Lucius used to be carefree, a light where they had none. Sebastian was broken when I found him today, and I had to be careful not to give away my access to his thoughts. He’s my mate. Alice is my mate. There is nothing I wouldn’t do for either of them and although it may take time to prove that to him… he will see. I cared about how Sebastian was dealing with it all, but the priority right now was finding Alice and getting her to the safety of our home. The text message I received almost sent my beast

RIAN “What is this?” My body was reaching inferno heat, angry and vibrating that someone had already marked what was ours. We’ll kill them with our bare hands, we’ll erase any record of this mark from her and replace it with- “It’s my brother’s mark,” she whispered, “it bonded us and my other brother together. My brother wears the same mark, and he’s now mated… it won’t interfere,” I looked back up into her eyes and it hit me. I was too distracted by my adoration of her, too lost in her absolute beauty, too busy trying to breathe in her presence that I missed what she was afraid of showing me. She’s an Heir. Facts started to assault my thoughts, coming in rapid-fire as I pieced everything together about what S

LINDEN Ace was growling in my head, and as the light filtered through my eyelids... I wish it didn’t. I can’t be alive without her. I don’t want to be. I can’t survive this. My body moves on its own accord, a sudden surge in my movements causing me to go off the bed, getting tangled up in a number of tubes that are now pulling at my skin as the coolness of the hard tile flooring reminds me that I'm really here. “Thank fuck,” Nixon’s voice reached me just as he righted me and his forehead was against mine. “I want to see Marcy’s body,” I snapped out, the warmth from him doing nothing to su
