"What is the matter with you?" he asked, and I wondered how he could figure out that I was worried. I shook my head and looked at his mother, who was yet to wake up. We were feeding her three times now, and she went back to sleep after lunch and was yet to wake up. "Come on, tell me," he said gen
Nikolas POV After spending time with Aliana and my mother, I returned to my office. Aliana's fears were valid; I would never have expected her to feel that deeply. All the months of being away from her and watching her from a distance. How could she feel for me so strongly? I put myself in her sho

I understood, and suddenly, I was filled with excitement. I did not know if our wolves would mate, but I wanted to see Raven live up to her fantasies, the very fantasies she filled my head with and mocked me if I could not fulfil them. I took off my clothes and shifted to my wolf. Raven's fur was
Nikolas POV Aliana looked peaceful this morning, and I did not want to trouble her sleep. Qusack had linked me to inform me of the werewolves found dead in the woods. I learned they had gone to the woods to pick mushrooms and potatoes. I wondered why Lycan hunters still thought it was okay to com
