KNIGHT My stomach twisted a knot as I watched Nirvana asleep in the confinement at the Night Stalker Pack. I couldn’t believe I had just done what I had done to save her. I knew she would probably not forgive me for what I’d done, but I made the toughest decision, and she left me no choice. “Shit. Is that—?” Califf stared at me in disbelief. “What the fuck, Knight? What did you just do?” With my chest clenching, I looked at him. “Saving my wife.” “I’m confused. When you called me asking for my help, I did not expect you to do this.” “Babe—” Shadow smiled widely. “Who’s in the confinement?” “You’re not gonna believe it. Come and see, baby.” “Holy shit.” Her eyes widened as she stared down from the two-way mirror and stared at me. “Nirvana? Did you lock up Nirvana? Why in the hell did you do that?” “I have reasons.” I crossed my arms over my chest, determined to prove what I did was best for my mate. Nirvana hadn’t woke up, and I knew she would be terrified thinking she was he

NIRVANA That bastard! He betrayed me, my own mate. My. Own. Fucking. Husband. I sighed and scratched my head in annoyance. I hadn’t tried teleporting. Maybe it would work, but that was the only move I had left, and they could never know that. “Sweetheart, stay put!” “Don’t call me that.” Anger boiled under my skin, and my muscles contracted. “Don’t tell me what to do, asshole! I hate you. Right now, you’re the last person I want to see. Get out! We have nothing to discuss if you don’t let me out of here. I don’t wanna see your face ever again. Do you understand? Fuck you!” I stepped closer towards them, only the shield spell that separated us and for me not to claw those eyes out— they were beautiful and sad, but I couldn’t care less. Staring at him in the eye, I let my anger simmer. “You and I are over. I don’t give a shit of defeating Cyrius. Good luck saving your people. I’m not one of your kind anyway, so I’m out. I’m fucking out.” When he dropped his gaze as if guilt tor

KNIGHT “That’s a good idea, Lyon. But how are we supposed to do that?” Zarah huffed a breath. “Let’s get out of here.” “If you can trap as powerful as Nirvana, maybe we can trap Cyrius, too, then we’ll kill him.” “Ambrose could have done that. As long as no one can wield the dagger other than Nirvana, and you’re not willing to risk her life, then our plan won’t work. And it seemed that that was what Sophie saw of Cyrius’s future before he cursed and killed them.” “Is it possible to make a swordstaff and put the dagger at the tip so everyone can wield it?” I turned to Zarah. “It is. I know a blacksmith, but the problem is, will the dagger allow itself to be touched or attached to another weapon.” “I’m sure you can work it out, Zarah. If you can make it as strong as a shield and a portal, I believe you can make it work.” “You put so much patience in me, but not on your mate.” Her words hit me hard in the chest like a knife. I looked outside the window. “I know I’m selfish, but w

NIRVANA Ducking down, I went to the tree and hid myself there. I briefly closed my eyes to listen to the footsteps and voices. Then, I saw an intruder creeping slowly towards me. His movements were precise, but Asina was better at stealth than him. I pulled out the dagger. Before he could shift and lung at me, I swung my arm and stabbed the fucker on his neck. His body fell on the root, bleeding profusely to his death. If there was one thing that terrified me, it was that I was too calm, taking people’s lives. I knew they were the bad guys, but it was still killing— one thing that changed me into someone or something I didn’t recognize anymore. Considering I didn’t even flinch or hesitate, it should bother me. And then he did not come alone. He was merely the scout. At least six of them were walking out of the property. How did they get in the barrier? They must have a witch working for them, or they found a way to break it. Something caught my eye that sucked me in a breath. Shi

NIRVANA “What the hell is going on between you and Knight?” Kailin just bombarded me in my room. Of course, no matter what, she was team Alpha Knight. The way she looked at me right now was filled with accusations and blame. Admittedly, I got too carried away with my anger. Instead of protecting his pack, he was away locking me up. Yeah, I blamed him for the attack. He should have been here with them. I should have been here for everyone. “Vana!” She shook me when I ignored answering her question. “Why don’t you ask him?” “You’re my best friend.” “And he’s your cousin and your alpha.” I arched a brow at her. “I just want to hear it from you.” I faced her. “Where’s Dane? Haven’t you seen him today?” She shook her head in annoyance. “Dane is working.” I smiled. “So, you two have mated?” “None of your business.” Her reply was defensive. At the same time, she blushed. “I don’t see his mark on your neck.” “Vana!” My smile faded. “I’m sure you know the answer. If I were here,
