From then on, torture, pain, and blood are all Lilac knows. Not a day goes by where Lilac doesn't think about her home, and the revenge she'd someday take on the people who wronged her. After four long years, Lilac finally finds her opportunity. She has many names to cross off her list, and at the very top is the only boy she ever loved: Nox Griffin.

The two of them stood in the stand pit off to the side of the pool and were currently hitting a volleyball back and forth. Jada and Brinley were on my mates team, while Titus’s consisted of Brick and my father.“Sorry, kiddo. What can I say? Your old man’s got skills.”Lilac scoffed, “Mom!”Lounging on one of the pool chairs with a book in her lap, Annamarie looked up at her oldest daughter with a soft smile and twinkling eyes. “Yes, dear?”“Your mate just cheated me out of my win!”Annamarie chuckled to herself then shouted, “Titus, stop playing dirty to keep our daughter from kicking your ass.”“Hell, yeah! Tell em’ Mrs. Einar!” Jada whooped, running laps around the girls.I grinned behind the mouth of my beer when Diego, who was currently manning the grill, burst into laughter.Titus and Lilac continued bickering until she launc
Lilac’s P.O.V.Three Years Later“This itches.” I grunted, picking at the lace clinging to my rear. “Mark my words, I’m going to have a rash on my ass by the end of the night.”“No scratching!”Shayla smacked my hand away, a playful grin curling at her lips. Since disappearing on a little trip with Kalix for two weeks, only to return with a healed mark on her neck and completed bond, she’s had a permanent pep in her step. Even a surprise visit from the woman who had raised her hadn’t deterred her jubilant mood.“Nox can kiss it once he gently peels this very expensive dress off of your body.” Jada quipped, emphasizing her words for Nox, who stood behind the long partition that divided the room in two. He and the guys could hear everything being said while they put on their suits, without actually seeing us girls or the dress Jada had chosen.“She meant rip.” He replied, “When I rip the dress off of your body.”Dad cleared his throat. His gruff voice trickled from across the room. “I d
Lilac’s P.O.V.One Week Later“How have you been?”Natasha turned from where she sat on the balcony and smiled softly. Pain lingered behind the action. I should know considering I’d made that same expression a time or two. She motioned me forward, gesturing to the chair beside her.I sat down for what was the first time in seven days and sighed. I’d been naïve in thinking there would be effortless peace after the war had ended. As it turns out, Phineas and Gideon had done some serious damage. They still had followers everywhere desperate to reignite their warped views. If there was one person who understood how deep the corruption lied, it was Natasha.“Shouldn’t I be asking you that?” She hummed, muffling her laughter behind her fist.I tried not to smirk at the inside joke but failed.After my parents act of treason, I had no choice but to banish them from the pack for all eternity. Well, sort of. Okay, so it was only a month, and it was more of a vacation than anything else, but it
Lilac’s P.O.V.It wasn’t hard to find Phineas after the battle had ended.Now that his side had surrendered, there were far too many souls willing to sell him out in order to save their own lives. Was I going to tell them I had no intention on killing anyone else? No, I’d much rather let them believe I was still making up my mind.We surrounded him in a small clearing beside a concrete garage on one of the compounds hidden access roads. He, along with several other warriors, were frantically trying to pack weapons into one of the many utility vehicles in an attempt to escape.Phineas’ face had turned red from barking orders, but quickly paled when he realized he’d been caught.Our men poured into the clearing, both in wolf and human form, and quickly rounded them up. I watched in contemplative silence with Nox at my side, as the man I feared above all else, was dropped at my feet. His white suit was no longer pristine, smeared with dirt from behind man handled.Staring down at him, I
Lilac’s P.O.V.Agony split me in two from the waist up, the pain muddying my thoughts. My magic evaporated into thin air, vanishing along with the voice of my wolf. The silver added an extra layer of searing pain. I forced my vision to focus, latching onto his smiling face.“Not so badass now, are you? I can’t wait to watch you slowly bleed out.” He leaned in, his breath fanning across my face. Somewhere in the distance, I heard a roar that belonged to my mate. “No magic. No wolf—”Blood coated my teeth and tongue, both visible as I peeled back my lips and grinned. “I don’t need either of those things to kill you.”Hidden up my sleeve, I pressed the small trigger that sent the knife Nox’s mother had gifted me down my wrist and into my hand. Slade’s eyes widened as I plunged it into his chest. “Should’ve aimed for my heart.”“Next time.” He gurgled as he stumbled back, his hold slipping from the knife buried in my gut.As the dead he commanded fell to the ground, so did he.The strange
Lilac’s P.O.V.I hit the ground just in time. A slab of rock bigger than Brick, flew right where my face had been. If it had hit me, it would’ve knocked my head clean off. It was followed by a blast of flame, and a scream that sent a chill down my spine. Chunks of the stone exploded in all directions, scraping the visible parts of my skin.“Stay close to me.” I barked at Shayla, who had both a pistol drawn and a silver-plated blade. The weeks of training had truly transformed my little sister into a warrior.I drew my own and sank into the familiar pattern that was my training. The sting in my muscles pushed me further, as did the sight of my friends and family fighting for their lives. Despite the warriors and enemy wolves trying to drive us apart, we moved as a group, forcing our way deeper into the compound, towards where Kalix was being held.An enemy wolf with pale fur and blood coating its muzzle shimmered into existence much too close for comfort. I quickly tore the soul out of
Lilac’s P.O.V.The dawn had never come and gone so quickly in my life.Barely feeling the weight of all the tactical gear I wore, I took in the thousands of faces surrounding me, doing my best to memorize each one. Mothers, fathers, siblings, and children crowded around the warriors gathered here today. Hugs and kisses were exchanged, vows of love and promises to reunite even in death were gifted freely.All around me was sorrow and hope, so thick I nearly choked on it.Jada’s vibrant laugh rang out as she and Hakeem hugged their parents. Just as they pulled away, I caught Brick shaking her father’s hand. Shayla and mom were wrapped up in an embrace that had tears falling from my sister’s eyes. Further away stood Natasha and Harley, both deep within conversation.A hand came down on my shoulder, steadying my resolve. I turned and looked up into my father’s solemn eyes. “These are your people—your warriors—which means you’re going to feel every single death out there. Don’t let the pai
Lilac’s P.O.V.Kalix’s capture was the final nail in the coffin that drove home the fact that this was actually happening.We were going to war.Despite the copious hours spent discussing war strategies, where to place our troops, and what method of attack to deploy, I still felt wholly underprepared. Hell, I’d barely even attended college for a month and here I was getting ready to lead an army into battle.I was a Luna, and yet I felt like a child who could barely stand on her own two feet, let alone navigate the world.“You’re doing it again.”Nox’s husky voice pulled me from the chasm that was my thoughts. A cool breeze stirred my frosted hair around my shoulders. I looked down at my mate, who lay beneath me, and wondered if I had dreamt the past hour and a half.“Is this real?” I blinked, chewing on my lip. The slight sting of peeling the dead skin from my flesh helped mellow out my worries.He smoothed his thumb over the sore spot I’d left behind, then reached down to grab my ha
Lilac’s P.O.V. Two Weeks… The air was knocked from my lungs as I was slammed onto the thick padded mat lining the training facility’s floors. I quickly rolled, jumping to my feet. It was bad enough that I was coated in 6 different people’s sweat. I really didn’t want to add blood and drool to the mix. “You did good, Luna, but you’re distracted. Take a break.” The command came from Makena, one of the trainers from Africa’s Lycan camp. A grunt was all I could muster. Exhaustion had long seeped into my bones and was only now starting to fade. Keeping Natasha’s soul from leaving her body had drained me bad. For awhile, I thought my magic would never replenish. It was absolutely terrifying. I snatched up my water and rubbed some of the condensation on my forehead, relishing the cold. After chugging half, I plopped down on one of the rolled-up mats and lost track of time, staring out the window at the forest beyond. Someone sat down beside me, and I turned to meet Hakeem’s knowing sta
