Dirk pov
"God damn it, they set us up!" I throw the papers on the floor and stomp them. The fucking monster leader gave me coordinates to shitty second-hand stores. We had a deal, and he tricked me-he's going to pay for this. My advisor shifts in his seat and chuckles. I don't know what's so funny about this situation, but if he doesn't shut his mouth, I'll personally cripple him. I turn around and glare at him. "What's so funny? You want to share it with me so we can both have a good laugh?"
His eyes widen, and he instantly shakes his head. "I'm sorry, Leader Dirk, I meant no disrespect. I chuckled because we couldn't really expect the wolves to play our game fairly. We never bothered to play a fair game ourselves, so it's no surprise they responded with the same attitude. We still have one location, and if you send the sentinels there, at
Vincent povWe did it... We raided the damn Alliance headquarters and blew it up. The rest of the packs involved set out to raid the hideouts- by the end of the day, there will be no trace of the Alliance left. They'll go into history the way they operated, in the shadows, unknown to humanity.We evacuated the whole place, taking only a few men as hostages. I found the girl I was supposed to spare, and she was right- that little thing couldn't hurt a fly. Still, I have to give her credit for her courage. She put herself before the others and offered herself just to save them. No wonder Enya called her a friend- they're very much alike. I mean, they sacrifice a lot for the ones they love, but my Enya has the spirit of a true warrior. I shake my head to get rid of the thoughts. I can't call Enya mine just because we're mates. Our union is impossible.
Enya pov For some stupid, forsaken and god-awful reason, I'm still alive. Why couldn't he let me die when I wanted it that way myself? I'm done with life, every crime I've committed, and all the shit I've been through. I don't feel pain; in fact, I don't feel anything. I'm in a new room, but it doesn't smell like a hospital, and I've never seen this wallpaper before. Weird. I sit up in the silly excuse of a bed and groan. My chest is wrapped in a bandage, so I can assume the doctors helped me. It's probably because of Vincent- he made them do it. If he's not around, I can try to find some doctors and give them the pleasure of killing me. Then when I'm gone, they can use a medical excuse to get Vincent off their backs. Doctors don't do magic, some patients go, and there's nothing they can do about it. I wa
Enya povI can't believe I'm up against the same men I once called trainees. I have forced myself to forget, or rather repress, some of the memories of the Alliance, but a few things are still there. Even though we never called each other friends- those men grew on me because we spent so much time together. Especially James. We had our ups and downs; many called us 'enemies to lovers' because we couldn't stand each other at first. But as time went on, we even discussed the possibility of running away together. I could call this man my first love if I knew what being in love felt like. But of course, the good things that happen to me don't last- my time with James came to an end. My father suspected there might be something between us and did everything he could to keep us apart. I wonder if his feelings have already faded...I grip the handles of the kniv
Vincent povAfter that conversation with Emmy, I have no more questions to ask or anything to say. I sent a couple of my warriors to the old packhouse to check if everyone was safe around there. We arrive at the packhouse after the women and children are back to safety, and as soon as I enter my office, Katie invites herself in.I turn my back on her. I have so much on my plate right now; I couldn't possibly take any more shit. Every time this woman showed up next to me, there was trouble coming along with her, so I don't think she'll ever bring anything good. Not for my pack or me. I groan as I walk closer to the window. "Katie, I'm not the one to fuck with, and you know that. One more, just one more of your games, and I'll banish you from this pack." That's a fair warning for someone I have already done my best to be patient with. I don't
Enya povI'm surprised that the warriors listened to me. They did take me to the cells, but the place is new, and there's no sign of Roma around me. I guess Alpha Asshole decided to separate me from his father so the old man won't feel sorry for me. I can't blame him for that. Whatever happens next has to be for the best- it's better to be kept locked away than living in the wilderness. God knows when I'll lose my mind and create carnage wherever I go. I know that I'm unpredictable and pretty much unstoppable when I'm in the wrong state of mind.I try to look around the cells and notice anything that might distract me from the thoughts that keep coming back like a damn boomerang. Something makes me feel like the wolves are holding me here on purpose- to keep me in the place I once tried to destroy. It's not like I have any regrets, right? I sit in the far

Enjoy xEnya povThe silence is killing me. I open and close my mouth again and again, but no words escape. My father is silent, his gaze fixed on the hallway. If only he could tell me what he's thinking, even if they were the worst, most painful words I've ever heard- that might help me feel at ease. At least a little.After a few more minutes, I finally gather enough courage to speak up, but the squeaking sound of the door opening interrupts me. I take one look at my father and whisper: "Back up in the cell, if anything happens now, I'd better take the first place in line. Torturing me will wear t
Vincent povI hate myself.I hate myself so much that I'd rather become someone else. Anyone. Anyone but Vincent Romano.Yet, my life isn't a fairytale, and I can't change skins with others or escape my life at will. Deep down, I knew from the beginning that Enya would be both a blessing and a curse to me. But the ways of the Moon Goddess are unpredictable. No one could have guessed that she would give me a mate at thirty-two, and I won't even mention who she is. I can't escape her anymore. Everywhere I look, everything I do reminds me of her. Though I'd like to rid myself of the memories, I can't let her go. It's not just the pack and how they'll view me after I free a murderer, it's also my selfish nature. The fact that she's in my home, even as a prisoner, somehow makes me feel better ab
Enya povI think I fainted, for when I open my eyes, I'm surrounded by complete darkness. I'm not sure if it's because it's late or someone decided to turn off every light source in these cells. I try to sit up but end up on my knees, barely able to hold my head up. A strange wave of pain erupts in my chest, and my hand instinctively reaches out."Father?" I whisper. I don't need him, but for some reason, I know I'd feel a lot better if I knew he's around. This must be a family thing.After a few minutes, there's still no sound or at least movement, so I call out to him again. This time he crawls closer to the bars of his cell. "Child, it's late; you need to get some sleep," he sounds calm, but I can hear the panic in his words.
