The Vargulf that was once my so-called uncle threw his head back and roared viciously. Connor showed no signs of fear and exerted dominance from where he stood. Irritated that the wolf before him did not cower, Tim charged forward. I watched as my mate launched himself onto the beast and latch his jaws onto its exposed shoulder.The black wolf struggled to steady his paws on the beast as it attempted to shake him off. The Vargulf screeched a blood-curdling shrill as his shaking allowed Connor's teeth to rip him open with his weight. Hanging by a slim amount of flesh that had almost ripped completely off, I could hear my mate snarling as he did his best to bring down the monster that was twice his size. Tim slammed a fisted claw into Connor's ribcage resulting in a yelp of pain but he did not release his teeth. Luckily a Vargulf thinks more on the kill than how it will kill which benefitted my mate in his attack.The deranged werewolf glanced at me and I watched as some

Simon's POV What I did was wrong. I didn't know Jenny was of Lycanthrope blood nor did I know what kind she was. For some reason that I couldn't explain, being around her relieved the pain I felt from Lil's anger. It was like she helped me to release the pressure building up inside of me. Not only did she cheer me up, but I also had this uncontrollable urge to love her. Loki wasn't able to escape her pull either. The moment I bit into Jenny, I could no longer feel Lil. Her consciousness wasn't connected with mine and in normal cases, it would've bothered me. Now I couldn't be bothered with her. At least, not the thought of her. My new mate was still a mystery to me and she wasn't into talking about herself with things I didn't know. Her explanation on the claws during the sex and being able

Lilith's POVSeeing Simon, hurt more than words could describe. I desperately wanted to run into his arms and hear his snide comments but he stayed silent. It was almost as if he was another whole person. The cocky jokester I had grown to love was missing and replacing that shell was a cowering dog.Nova whimpered for him and I wanted to do the same. He caused feelings to stir with betrayal as he stood beside his new mate - the same one who almost got me raped and my other mate killed. When we were in the office, I did catch on to him trying to stand up for me but she shut him down and he OBEYED her. I was appalled.Now as I stand here behind Connor, all I could do was worry. Even if Jenny loses, I don't believe my mate would kill Simon but if he loses, she will kill me. Was he strong enough to have another battle after just being healed by his pack? The growing frustration towards this day, in general, was beginning to get on my nerves

My heart raced at the thought of someone going through the basement for Talia. Connor was at risk and that terrified me. He was the hope I had left that we could overrule Jenny. The moment my fear rose, I had to instantly smother it. If she smelt any fear from me, she might choose to listen in to my thoughts or demand me to tell her why I was afraid. No chances could be taken.“Want me to go get her? Pretty sure she’s still in love with me from a spell we used within the last 3 days.” I offered.Jen's eyebrow rose. “She’s in love with you?”Ethan snorted but I responded with a shrug. “It’s a long story but yeah, she is spellbound to believe I’m her mate. Talia would be less likely to fight with me than someone else.”“That’s curious. Remind me to push you further on the reason why later.” She waved her hand at me. “Go grab her.”With her dismissal, I rushed fr

Connor’s POV Dior: Connor, wake up. … Dior: I need your help to heal. … Dior: Connor… I can’t draw power from Lili or Susi without you. … Dior: Please wake up… … Dior: I can try to reach out to Kia and Nova without you, but I still can’t draw their power unless you wake! …   Simon’s POV Jenny insisted we leave Talia back in her cell and make Ethan drive us in his truck to keep an eye on her new Beta. Her concern for me was minimal as she demanded I ride in the bed of the truck. We arrived at the address Talia gave us, but the dirt road resulted in a dead-end. When he put the truck in park and climbed out, I could feel fear rising in him. I assumed it was fear of Jenny’s anger after realizing she was lied to. She jumped out of the truck and paced the grass at the e
