BRYNN I had no idea what I expected Alpha Kade and Luna Elle to be like, but they were extremely welcoming. Luna Elle had this calming demeanor about her. Moira and I felt at peace while in her presence. She was positively gorgeous with her porcelain skin, long wavy black hair, and a figure to die for. Alpha Kade was well over six feet with a solid Alpha physique, broad shoulders, and massive muscles. Tattoos littered his exposed skin just like Theo’s did. Between the two, Theo was definitely sexier, but that was just my own opinion. I was certain that Luna Elle would think the opposite. We were treated with more hospitality than I ever imagined receiving in another pack’s territory. Luna Elle gave us maps of the packhouse and territory so that we could know how to get around if we wanted to explore. There were no restrictions placed on us, and she made sure to tell us that everyone would be more than happy to help us get places. Then they set us up in a suite with two bedrooms be

THEO It had broken me when we had our talk on the couch because I was forced to see the true depth of the pain that I caused her. I had hurt her so fucking badly, and it gutted me to see those tears. However, the talk was cleansing for the both of us. I had been surprised when she asked me to stay with her, but I was even more surprised when she let me hold her while she slept. I had never felt as complete in my entire life as I did right then. It was hard for me to think about going back to the pack because of the danger that lurked within Dark Moon’s borders. However, I would keep her safe one way or another. I would destroy anyone who tried to harm her. The good news was that Dante, a guy named Chris, and a Light Fae named Pylorna would be there to help. Dante’s gift let him see what the eyes could not and would be the best option to sniffing out our traitors. Our last day in Nightshade was spent around the pack. We even rode dragons. Nothing could compare to that experience. Di

BRYNN I was really tired of people talking shit about Theo. It did not involve them whatsoever, so why did they feel otherwise? They needed to pull their noses out of our business. If I lost my shit, then there was no guarantee that they would survive it. Our three friends followed us out to the training grounds. I peeked over my shoulder and saw Chris and Dante exchanging smirks. They were future Alpha and future Beta, so they were bound to have the same driving force when it came to fighting. Higher ranks typically had more dominant wolves. Therefore, their drives were typically more advanced too. Plus, look at them. Their muscles had muscles that also had a set of muscles. My father was speaking with Sebastian but stopped when he saw me. His eyes flicked to Theo who was right beside me, and I knew exactly what that look conveyed. He was furious about the rejection and what it did to me. I was his baby girl, and he would strike down the gods themselves if need be in order to prote

BRYNN “What’s going on between you and Seb?” Maya asked me after cornering me in the bathroom. I listened carefully to make sure that there was nobody in the bathroom with us. Despite everything else, I did not want to share personal shit with people who did not need to know. It was none of their business. “He’s not happy with me and Alpha Theo,” I told her. “That’s a loaded statement that we need to unpack. Let’s start with the first part. What’s up with you two?” I sighed, running my hand through my hair, and jumping up on the counter. It was the same question that I would have if our situations were reversed. I just hoped that she would take it better than he did. His reaction still hurt to think about because it was completely out of character. I never realized that Sebastian saw me as anything other than a friend. To say that I had been blindsided would be the understatement of the entire year. It worried me that perhaps I had led him on without ever realizing it. That thoug

THEO ‘Alpha Theo, this is Sebastian Coldwater. I needed to speak to you immediately.’ The mindlink paused for a moment. ‘It’s about Brynn’s safety.’ Those words were the only reason that I had agreed to meet up with the little bitch in the middle of the damn night. I was still stuck on how he had frightened her that day on her porch. It was not okay for anyone to do that. ‘Come to my suite. Let me know when you’re here,’ I told him. I looked down at my sleeping beauty, smiling at how peaceful she looked. I was just incredibly thankful that she was willing to give me a chance to prove myself to her. There was nothing I would not do to keep her safe and happy. I kissed Brynn’s head and tried to sneak out of bed because I did not want to wake her. She had been through so much lately and deserved a good night’s rest. “Where’s my cuddle buddy going?” she asked with a pout. She was so fucking adorable. From adorable to sexy goddess and everything in between. “Sebastian just linked me
