ALICE
'You can’t kill the Lord’s without killing me... Bash has been my mate, our mate, for over a century.'
Rian's words echoed in my head, like a stun grenade that disabled my brain from any logic or reality filtering in. Did he just say what I think he said? My dirty fantasy coming to fruition and my hell on Earth realized all at the same time?
I was back in Rian's arms, begging Onyx to take me back, begging Onyx to take my side here and let us just finish this once and for all, but Nixon denying me access to him seemed to force my world to settle in around me. The warmth of his forehead making me instantly regret leaving the pack, leaving Linden.
'...Killing your mate is a sure way to death town... it's time to do what feels right...'

ALICE “Do you know who I am?” I narrowed my eyes at Ian, leaning over Rian’s arm and trying to ignore the muscles flexing beneath me, “I mean truly… do you?” “You’re a princess,” Ian smirked. “I’m an HEIR!” I screamed at him over Rian, “a triplet,” I extended my arm to my side, putting Onyx’s mark on display, “born of fire and bonded for life to them.” My voice cracked and my chest constricted just thinking about what happened, about how Linden wasn’t even awake yet, but fuck it, he needed to know that Lucius failed on all accounts. “LINDEN survived,” shock covered their faces, “and Nixon WAS the show, or did you miss all the fire?” I went to storm out but almost fell from exhaustion. “This has gone far enough,” Rian caught me and held me up by my hips, tu

ALICE “She did,” I nodded and Ian flashed to me, grasping my cheeks with both hands and holding my full attention. “Your LUNA turned?” There was a slight panic in his actions, a wildness in his eyes that had his body tensing. “She was a Witch, not a Wolf,” he relaxed slightly as I finished, “but yes, when I carried her back-” “You didn’t…” Ian interrupted me, looking at me with disbelief, “why didn’t you scent her first? She could have-” “She looked pretty dead,” I cut him off, staring at him with a trained lack of expression, “I was carrying her, with no wolf to help me, walking on freshly reset and barely healed legs after that psycho crushed and ripped every part of my leg apart - so sorry that I lost the ability to sc

ALICE Ian’s face fell in a moment too quick to cling to, the brush of air and his lack of presence all I needed to know about his answer. Amara was whimpering, pacing and laying down repeatedly as neither one of us knew what to do, where to go from here. We would never have his loyalty. The heartbreak of that realization had me out the door, searching for fresh air as I stripped my clothing off, my body bulking to shift as I broke into a run before the slam of a door behind us and his strong voice halted it. “A stór.” It was commanding, soft, demanding, and a plea all in one, but the fall of liquid from my face told me not to turn around. I couldn’t get lost agai

ALICE “Nix-” “He’s up,” Nixon interrupted me, “but he’s on a warpath.” “But is he-” “Ours? Of course,” he sighed, “but he needs you, please tell me you got right to-” “I’ll meet you downstairs when you’re done,” Rian pressed his lips to the sensitive spot behind my ear, dragging his thumb across my lips as he cradled my face in his hand, waiting for me to acknowledge him. My eyes darted to the door, wondering where and when Ian would reappear, “He won’t interrupt you,” Rian tapped his ear to tell me without having to verbalize it that Ian could still hear me no matter where I was. “Why do you seem so relaxed about all of this?” I half demanded as Rian left.

ALICE The warmth of the wind was mixing with the breeze coming off of the water when Ian’s scent hit me. It begged me to run off of the cliff that the house sat on and Amara wanted to test him and see if he would jump after us, or if he would let us get away. “Baby girl,” his voice was like a direct line to the feeling of pure bliss, but bliss was dangerous. It masked every other feeling, every other worry. “I’ll be more cautious,” I remained laying down in the grass, closing my eyes so that I wouldn’t have to chance getting lost again, “you shouldn't have to give up moments with him because of me." “You don’t want me.” His words were more like a desperate question. The tone in his voice seemed broken compared to its norm

ALICE “Lucius tricked her,” Ian’s voice sounded strained, “into thinking he was in love with her, that by providing us with the rings, that he could live a normal life with her, protect her always… but pretending to love someone when he ached for his mate he’d never see again removed any part of his humanity that he had left. He destroyed her village, drinking every last person dry, and left her to answer to her coven… who ultimately decided to hang her and disown her bloodline.” I tried to remain impassive, but every part of me wanted to get the praise I deserved for ridding the world of that true fucking monster. “A few decades later, Jasper did find his mate but it wasn’t what he was expecting. She was close to death when he found her, her vehicle had rolled over in a ditch. She had two children who didn’t surv

LINDEN “The invisible triggers are all set?” I asked Madeline. “Unless they have a witch of their own to detect and disable it, yes.” “They don’t,” Nixon reiterated, “if they did, they would have used them to get in here in the first place.” My fingers gripped the back of the chair in front of me, the crack in the wood only mirroring the deep fault that ran through me. I let them in. We weren’t prepared enough, we were cocky the first time, and now Marcy- “Hey,” Terran placed his on my arm and when I opened my eyes he only shook his head from side to side. He didn’t have to say any more than he alread

LINDEN I smoothed out my suit and the outline of the ring in my pocket passed under my hand, "Without the Lord’s, the Vamps won't be so bold and the Wolves can help maintain the balance again so no more Fae are being taken." "That's going to be a problem," Nixon shook his head and looked wearily in Declan’s direction, "Alice…" he trailed off but Alice never agreed with the plan to take out the Vamp’s and now she would have to in order to prevent the Fae from escalating. "Alice will have to get on-" 'Her mate…' Nixon interrupted me with a link. 'I haven't forgotten,' my brows pinched together as I looked at him, drawing the attention of Terran and Declan, 'but if he wants what's best for her, her mate will get over h
