Liam / PanzerI look at Alpha Nikolaos, and he nods. “She did it, just as I suspected,” he says, referring to Demi rejecting the mate bond out of fear. “Now we just need to silently track her since she took the SUV like Mia suggested.”When I woke up this morning, I was determined to get to the bottom of why Levi has turned into something out of our past. What I found odd about the way Demi described everything was the fact that she mentioned he only becomes like this at night.I mean, we are wolf shifters, but not the type to switch up our entire personalities when the sun sets.Luna Mia sighs and my gaze lands on her. “I just don’t understand how this could have happened. Levi doesn’t seem like the type at all,” she says, crossing her arms and shaking her head.“I agree with you, my love, but we can’t jump to—” Alpha Nikolaos suddenly trails off as his eyebrows pinch together. His eyes shift to me and he nods silently… then he scoffs and shakes his head. “Divan is with him and can a

Panzer / Liam I hold Levi close to me as he weeps, and it’s suddenly clear to me how serious this curse is. The fact that he harmed Noelle is breaking him in two, and I can tell he’s not faking these feelings at all. “Let’s get you into the dungeons, Levi, until the priestess can find a way to rid you of this curse,” Alpha Nikolaos’ voice cuts through my thoughts and Levi pushes me away from him. I get to my feet with the intention of following them when Levi stops me dead with his words. “Don’t follow me, Liam.” Alpha Nikolaos holds up his hand and shakes his head. “I’ll stay with him. Go back to the townhouses and see what has happened,” he says, then he places his hand on Levi’s shoulder and walks him towards the main pack house while the priestess follows them. I take a step back as disbelief courses through me. Levi has never brushed me off like this before, not when I know he needs me. I have to follow him, I have to let him know that I’ll be there for him no matter what hap

LiamWith my mind made up, I leave Levi and Demi’s home and make my way to the pack house. I have to make Levi understand things and let him know I am not angry at him. Noelle’s death is all on me because I wanted to fucking act pious instead of coming clean.Before reaching the clearing, I can make out Divan leaning against a tree with his arms crossed. “Rejecting a blessing could be bad for both of you,” were his last words when I asked him for advice. I just didn’t think this is what he meant. “Hey,” he says as he approaches me. “Heading to see Levi?”“I have to speak to him. He doesn’t want me there, I know this, but I can’t let him go on misunderstanding what happened between me and Demi. I have to come clean about everything.”Divan breathes out a sigh and walks towards me, then he places a hand on my shoulder. “Well, you have me if you need a shoulder. Don’t forget that,” he says, then he walks away again.I’ve never had anyone to confide in but Levi, I’ve never had to trust

Demi He’s wearing all-black tactical gear again, but this time it’s simply black cargo pants, a black t-shirt, and boots. Seeing Liam after so long makes my heart skip a beat and I literally freeze in my steps. He must have heard the way my heart is beating because he turns around just as he was about to knock on my front door. “Hey,” he says as he walks down my front path. “I was just looking for you.” Three weeks apart and it’s like he’s become even more handsome than before. Try as I might, I cannot stop myself from walking toward him and wishing he would wrap his arms around me and call me his. “I was…at Alessia’s house. Uhm, why are you here, Liam? I thought you were away on a mission,” I ask, but then I remember I just saw Isaac return home and Liam had left with him back then. Standing so close to him after all this time feels like a temptation I can’t bring myself to resist. His dark sandalwood scent does things to me that I cannot explain, and it feels like I’m drowning

DemiLiam looks down at me with primal hunger in his eyes and I suck in a breath as soon as they shimmer to Gamma green. “Now… where was I?” he says, before leaning in close and snapping the last of my willpower away.The sounds of the forest around us seem to quieten down to a light din as soon as our lips meet, and now there’s nothing more that exists to me than Liam’s mouth tempting me. His lips are soft against mine and his light beard scrapes against the skin of my cheeks as he kisses me.Groaning into my mouth, he deepens the kiss and I swear I don’t even need to breathe at this moment. Liam then trails his kisses toward my neck, teasing my skin with his teeth and tongue, and I gasp at the sensation.“Demi,” he breathes out my name, pushing his hard body against mine and our kissing turns frenzied. “If you want me to stop, I will.”“No…” I trail off, but as soon as I do, he drags his wet t-shirt over his head and smirks.“I’ve dreamed of this moment more than you can imagine,” h
