Chapter 141 *Hayes* I wait for Kyra to make her way over to the fire after changing her clothes, my feet kicking at a stone stuck in the dirt. It was a bad call to leave her behind. No, it was worse than a bad call. It was a grave

Chapter 140 “Shit, shit, shit,” I mutter to myself as I crash through the brambles. Thistles and thorns slice through my skin as if I were running through barbed wire. My hoodie tears, catching on everything as I try to refocus myself. line their dragon’s body. I’m a fucking trained

Chapter 139 *Kyra* I can feel the weight of Hayes’ stare at my back. No matter how much I try to shake it off, it is steady, like a nagging or an itch that I just can’t reach or satisfy. It’s damn annoying, really. Not a single person says a

Chapter 138 “Kyra, Alpha Merikh wants to see you,” Thatch says, leaning against the kitchen counter, sipping on his steaming cup of coffee. My puffy, unawake eyes glare at him as he smiles behind the last of the only elixir that can shake this terrible mood I am dawning. “Is

Chapter 137 Book Two: To Love a Broken Beta CHAPTER 1 *Kyra* It’s so strange being back here, the place I used to call home. Everything is so different. There is hardly anything I recognize here any more. Other than the lake that reflects the trees to my right in

Chapter 136 **Two years later** *Merikh* “Where is he?” I snarl, on my hands and knees, tearing the tablecloth to the side. If Colette finds out he is gone again, I am in deep shit. I find nothing there but a small trail of cookies as I smirk and look

Chapter 135 I feel like I am floating on air, the high from meeting and being accepted so quickly. Even with the very blunt questions about what it’s like to be a dog and if I smell like a wet animal after I leave the water, it was nice. It

Chapter 134 *Colette* I walk in silence with Zale, my nerves sending shock waves through my hands, making them shake. This is fine, it will all be fine. Except what if they meet me and hate me and want to withdraw the whole joining our war thing? Then they have

Chapter 133 Apparently, it is easy to be upset with a dead man, or rather, a dead siren. My anger surges as I scoff and pace away over to the large bay window in my office. Zale remains silent behind me, Colette also unmoving as she waits for a response.

Chapter 132 *Merikh* There is a small knock before my office door pushes open and Colette peeks her head in. A smile replaces the frown I had been dawning since receiving the news that other packs throughout the kingdom are being attacked at random. War has rules, or at least

Chapter 131 I stare out at the lake, the one that first made me feel like I was at home. The water glistens in the sun, the waves lapping gently as a breeze dances across it. It’s been two weeks. Two weeks since my dad and mom sacrificed themselves. I

Chapter 130 *Colette* I yank the covers over my head, my knees pulling up as I struggle to keep myself from breaking into tears. Merikh has been the only thing keeping them at bay. He is my strength even when he doesn’t try. His very presence brings me a calm,

Chapter 129 I groan as I crawl onto the plush bed, plopping down next to Colette’s sleeping body. My tired muscles twitch and tingle through me, from the hair on my head down to my toes. It doesn’t matter that I’ve napped, or that my brother has refused to see

Chapter 128 Hold on, Hayes.” I mutter, crawling over to him. His eyes don’t move from her, the grotesque way her body looks as it hangs there, various parts of her impaled on branches. It’s not until I move in his line of sight that I see any genuine emotion

Chapter 127 Chapter 127 *Merikh* “Have you spoken with Beta Hayes?” Percy asks, the ashes of Giselle in his arms as I carry a now sleeping Colette. My muscles are tense, my instincts screaming out as I try to reach my brother and get no mind link back. “We might

Chapter 126 “There is a life form in there,” Ezrah reminds me as if I give a shit. Right now, the only life I care about is the one with a pointy stick near his throat. “I don’t fucking care.” I grit out, a gentle breeze tickling through my hair

Chapter 125 *Colette* Caspian steps into the wave, his form shifting as his scaly figure emerges, and the water seems to move with him as he makes his way toward Giselle as she grows brighter, hotter. The wave I had conjured up pales in comparison to the one he seems

Chapter 124 *Merikh* “Why is this fucking place so big?” I growl to no one as I sprint through the dying trees and over the once lush green moss under their canopy. How much further must I go to find her? Every ticking second feels like agony as panic and

Chapter 123 It’s incredibly difficult to rest on the back of someone you aren’t sure you can trust. Every muscle in my body feels tense, my neck aching from keeping it pressing into his back too hard. I am used to being carried around; it seems lately it’s been happening

Chapter 122 *Colette* Percy is silent, his eyes always on the lookout and his body tense as we move swiftly closer and closer to the enemy. There are so many things I want to say, want to ask him, but I know all too well the once chatty kid is
