Asher's Point Of ViewI held the syringe tight. "That she isn't human? Yes. They fucking knew," I answered Stef's question.At first, I thought these rogues were after her because of me. That somehow they found out she was my mate and wanted to harm her to get to me. That was usually how things like these worked. But with this syringe, it was obvious they were after her for another reason.The warriors grabbed the unconscious rogue, and we headed back home in our trucks.The prisoner was taken to the pack's cell and forced awake. I was eager to get him talking. I called for the pack's doctor and wanted to leave Cirilla with her and Lyra but she demanded she wanted to be present for the interrogation.I couldn't argue. After tonight, she made me realize she isn't one to take orders or do what she's told. And I loved that about her. It was a fucking turn on for me.I guess we both were just as crazy as the other. Imperfectly perfect.I smiled to myself. I liked that.We were at the cell,
Asher's Point Of ViewIt was way past morning. I was at the field training, trying to get things off my mind, and think clearly. But the exercise wasn't working. I wasn't thinking clearly without this measly emotion called fear crawling its way into my chest.I just couldn't stop thinking about everything Cirilla had told me last night.Last night wasn't the first time she had been attacked by wolves. She had encountered them before moving to Beaverton. That scared me. They've been following her and now, they know exactly where to find her.I groaned, feeling Ryker's relentless pacing at the back of my head as her words kept echoing. The strangest part of it all was someone had saved her that night. Someone she didn't know and wasn't human as well.She was saved right after by a man in flames. It seemed like he walked out from the flames of hell. From what she told me, it was clear she was saved by a supernatural called the Phoenix. It had to be. But I don't understand why he erased h
Asher's Point Of ViewThe last twenty-four hours had been beyond exhausting. I stood in front of the mirror in my room, watching my reflection for a few minutes, losing myself in my thoughts.Earlier today the pack had laid the once-great Luca Cohen to rest. I deeply hoped now he was at peace, in the arms of his mate, and he found the happiness he spoke of. I didn't believe in stuff like this, but I hoped for Dad's sake, he was happy even in death.I shut my eyes, fighting the tears that attempted to surface from the pain rooted in my chest. I was like that for minutes and only pulled my eyes open when I inhaled the delicate sweetness of baking cookies and fresh roses.Cirilla. I exhaled, instantly feeling the peace that washed over me.Cirilla came behind me and I saw her beautiful reflection in the mirror."Do you need any help?" She asked, picking up the black button-down shirt from the couch.I smiled, nodding and she was in front of me, helping me to put it on. Tonight was my in
Asher's Point Of ViewMy eyes enlarged."You are in heat," She gave me a confused look. I don't think she even knows what that meant and she didn't care. No wonder her scent and arousal were stronger.But this couldn't be. Cirilla's wolf hadn't emerged yet. There was no she should be in heat.My thinking was interrupted when she wrapped her hands around my neck, swallowing my lips hungrily as if seducing me back into that crazed wild passion. And I almost gave in like I did a while ago.Ryker was already going berserk to mark her and the sweet smell of her arousal wasn't helping at all. It smells so fucking good.I growled, pulling her away. I wanted so badly to have her under me on the bed while I fucked her till she can't walk. But if I give in now, I won't be able to resist claiming her, making her wholly mine. At this point, I had no fucking control.Cirilla groaned in pain, tears in her eyes. "Asher please,"Goddess, she didn't have to beg me, I would gladly undress her and pleas
Cirilla's Point Of ViewI released a loud growl, my inner vision blood red, and a deep thirst for their blood overpowered me. My eyes narrowed on the witch closest to me, and two witches rushed closer, eager for their deaths.I felt their fears. It was delightful. And I knew I would enjoy ripping their hearts out and drinking them dry.Then I felt Asher's presence as it came with a thundering growl that shook the walls of the room and the smell of blood soon filled the air.But I didn't dare look away from my soon-to-be victims. They lifted their fingers and an invisible shield was created imprisoning us.My smile only deepened at their obvious stupidity. Nothing could stop me. I knew that, even as they began whispering foreign words, and channeling their energies to attack me, my smile only ran deeper.They lifted their fingers collectively, and I felt magic that charged my way to harm me, but nothing happened.The horror on their faces was priceless, as my smile vanished and my eye
Asher's Point Of ViewWe were at the portal gates of the demons' realm. This was where the Kroma Conclave headquarters was. It was impossible to enter, only top-ranking demons had access to enter, aside from the Conclave.I slit my palm, pouring my blood on the black crystals, and instantly, a red glow appeared in the middle of the tall black pillars. A portal gateway.I turned to Cory and Andy, before stepping in. "Stay close,"I ignored the deafening screams that echoed through the red mist that surrounded us in the portal. They belonged to demon souls from the fiery pit that had been banished there for committing heinous crimes.After a while, we reached the other end of the portal, stepping out in front of the Night Castle."Prince," The warriors guarding this end of the portal gates bowed to me. I didn't fail to notice their surprised gaze."The Overlord?" I asked, sharply."In a meeting with the Conclave," One of the warriors answered.I nodded, as we entered inside the Night ca
Cirilla's Point Of View"One shot! One shot! One shot!"I didn't stop. I kept gulping down the liquid content in my glass, ignoring the burning trail that began from the back of my tongue, through the throat, past my chest, and settled in the core of my stomach.I groaned, successfully chugging down the drink. Only the heavens knew what exactly Dorian had mixed in there for me.I flipped the glass upside down on the table, smirking with pride."Happy birthday!" They all chorused, chugging down their drinks.We were at Lakita bar with just a small crowd. Miles had closed the bar earlier tonight and had given me a day off."One more round moonpie!" Dorian shouted over the music playing, and I groaned, shaking my head."I'm not gulping down any of those again or I might just throw up," I yelled back, grabbing my phone and walking to the counter.I checked my call log and there haven't been any calls from Asher. To say I was getting mad was an understatement. He promised he'd be here.I w
CARSON CITY, NEVADAWISCON PALACECameron's Point Of ViewThere was chaos and confusion in the court, but my focus was on my mate."What's happening to her?" I growled again, pulling my mate's body to mine. She was so hot. Really hot."Take her inside!" Zeriyah said, and immediately, I carried her in my arms and teleported her to her room in the palace. But I was teleported back to the Court.What the hell?"What happened?" Rhona was already at the door when she turned back to me."I don't know," I teleported to her room again and I was teleported back again to the Court. "Something is wrong, something keeps bringing me back," "I think it's the Crystal stone," Mirabel's words caused my eyes to fall on the glowing crystal stone next to Cyrene's lifeless body. It was glowing blue. And every time I teleported, it glowed brighter."But Cyrene's dead. It shouldn't have any ounce of magic left," The demon king, Daimon, uttered as he moved closer to us."It shouldn't," Rhona looked taken ab
