ANTHONY’s POV“What the fuck is going on? We’ve had men on the prowl for HOURS and still have NOTHING?” I roared, slamming my fist down on the table with enough force that the chandelier hanging above shook threateningly.I felt like I was suffocating in the wide, airy throne room as I glared at the stony faces of the uniformed soldiers who remained silent at my rage.“Every inch of the palace grounds has been searched Your Highness, there's no evidence of foul play-” One of the men dared to speak before I threw my sword at his head, only missing because I didn't want to impale the bastard.“NO EVIDENCE OF FOUL PLAY?! MY LITTLE SISTER HAD A KNIFE IN HER FUCKING CHEST! THE KILLER LOOKED HER IN THE EYE AND STUCK A KNIFE THROUGH HER HEART AND YOU'RE TELLING ME THERE IS NO EVIDENCE?” I bellowed as rage tore through me before my brother’s calming hand on my back thinned the red haze that had started to blur my vision.“Hey, we’ll find the bastard okay?” Michael growled, but I wondered if h

Elenas POVThe loud cawing of the birds, as they scattered in the distance was the first thing I heard when I came to.The sky had darkened to a black void with only the fire sticks that were screwed into the walls casting their dull yellow halo on the surrounding.“W-what are you going to do with me?” I stammered with fear lacing my voice as my gaze widened on the large cell gate up ahead that led into what looked to be a cave.Panic surged in my chest now as I ground to a halt, yelping when one of the guards dun his elbow in my back painfully and I jolted forward.Tears stung in my eyes and I struggled to swallow the bitter feeling in my chest. I had been absentmindedly putting one foot in front of the other as the unfriendly guards carried me along in utter silence, expecting one of the twin Alphas to come to my aid…it was obvious now that it wasn't going to happen.“Inside please, we don't exactly have all the time in the world!” One of the rougher guards barked suddenly, motionin

ELENA’S POVThere were people everywhere. It was the first thing I realized before I looked down to see that I was back in that godawful ball gown I had worn to the dinner party, only now it was stained with blood.“H-Hello? Can you help me? I don't…” I wheezed, clutching at one of the manservants with wine trays and feeling the moisture dry from my mouth when the uniformed Wolf shrugged off my hold without even looking at me.What the hell was going on? The faces of the guests became a blur of smiles and grimaces as I stumbled through the crowd and the gnawing in my gut grew when I realized something was very wrong.The bright wash of the yellow lights had been turned up to the full beam. It made me want to claw my eyes out, almost bringing me to my knees as I struggled to rake enough air into my lungs.“Sophie! I have to find Sophie!” I gasped, for a split second before my gaze locked on the woman’s slender back, her long blonde hair billowing slightly in the breeze from the wide d

ELENA’s POVIt was the soft beeping of the old heart monitor that reached my ears first when I opened my eyes.I groaned, trying to sit up and falling back into the comforter with a distressed hiss when white hot pain exploded in my temples.“Shit! She's awake! Get the nursemaids, FAST.” A man’s deep baritone boomed somewhere around me followed by the frantic shuffling of feet as I struggled to open my eyes.“Hey, you're okay, thank fuck, you're okay,” It was Anthony’s stern face that blurred into view when I managed to screw my eyes open, feeling my skin heat up when his fingers traced the lines on my forehead.“Anthony? Where’s Michael?” I murmured, glancing around the dimly lit room as discomfort and desire intertwined in my belly.I could smell his heady earth and forest scent on his breath and it took my mind to places I would rather not go…to the memory of his big, strong hands cupping around my breasts and the hard length of his cock pressing insistently on my sex.I watched a

Anthony’s POVI knew the moment the door closed with a soft clap behind me that I wasn't alone.The sharp tang of Carla’s jasmine scent hung in the air like poison and I tried not to hack out the phlegm building in the back of my throat.“You shouldn't be here,” I growled in a low brooding voice, ignoring the woman who sat stiffly in the shadowed space of my study to snag a wine bottle instead.It was looking more and more like one of those nights where I would lose myself in bloody alcohol.I could tell that the woman was surprised at my indifference, a mask I kept tightly woven around my body, fighting the irritation that built steadily inside me.“That's the first thing you're going to say to me? What did I ever do to you to deserve this Anthony?” Carla cried, her voice hoarse from disuse, and I watched her grip the leather edges of my table until her knuckles turned white.“Get out. Now. Before I do something you would dislike very much.” I barked back, taking a swig of the sweet
