#Chapter52Cain POV:I rounded my desk and sat in my chair; Ryder entered my office and closed the door before approaching my desk. I glared at him for interrupting my moment with Freja. “You better have a damn good reason for disturbing me,” I said in a low and dangerous tone. His eyes flicked around the room, avoiding my stare. “I apologize for interrupting, sir, but it’s about Calyx. I overheard him speaking with Samara about joining him.” My eyes widened and confusion wrapped around me. Samara had always been loyal to me, and to think that she was conspiring with my brother to kill my mate and me, threw me for a loop. I shook my head, refusing to believe this. “No, that can’t be right Ryder, she would never do something like that. Samara has always been a loyal pack member.” Ryder sighed heavily. “I know, sir, she has been an upstanding pack member, but I heard Calyx tell her to meet him later today to discuss the plans.” So he Informed me, regret lacing his tone. I was

#Chapter54Feeling a little defeated and overwhelmed, I turned to Cain’s page and began reading. The page was detailed, speaking of his achievements and downfalls. As I continued to read, something caught my attention, Cain’s age; it said he was only 25. So I went back to Calyx’s page, and his age was 28. I sat back in the chair, a little confused as to why the younger son was Alpha and not the eldest. As far as I knew, it was always the older son who took the title of Alpha. So why was Cain Alpha and not Calyx? I remembered what Samara had said previously about the two brothers, and it never really clicked until now; it was like they were competing for the title, but why? I put the history book down and picked up the diary; it was old, withered and used. I opened the book, and the pages crinkled. Page after page had been written on, it was almost complete, except the last few pages. I turned back to the first page and started to read the entry. This diary belonged to Cain’s mother,

#Chapter56We finally finished our food, and Cain placed the containers back into the bag and moved everything to the side, giving us more room on the blanket. I laid down on the blanket, sprawled out and stared up at the stars. Cain followed suit, laying down beside me, but he didn’t look up at the sky. Instead, he stared at me. I tilted my head to the side to look at him, and Cain had this odd look in his eyes, a look of longing and fear. I was curious as to why he held these emotions until he finally spoke. “What do you want to know?” He asked, his tone a little clipped. I wasn’t sure what he meant for a moment, but then it clicked that he asked me what I wanted to know about him. I pondered this question, wondering what I wanted to know about him and if I genuinely wanted the answers to those questions. I pursed my lips and looked into his eyes. “How come, after your parents died, you turned into……a monster?” I asked hesitantly, hoping he wouldn’t get angry with me over that

#Chapter58Freja POV:Cain’s hands wrapped around my body, not leaving any part of my sensitive skin untouched. He gripped the hem of my shirt and pulled it over my head, then unclasped my bra, exposing my bare breasts to him. I reared back slightly and gripped his shirt tightly in my grasp before ripping it in half, revealing his sculpted abs and lightly tanned skin. A cheeky grin appeared on his handsome face as he stared into my eyes, and my breathing quickened, the lust growing within me. He pulled me closer to him again, taking my right breast into his mouth and sucking on my taut nipple. I gripped his hair, tangling it between my fingers, as I squirmed on his lap from his sensual touch. Cain then flipped us over and laid me down on my back. He gripped the button on my pants and popped it open, then slowly pulled them off, not taking his eyes off mine. My feet slipped out, one by one, before Cain wrapped his fingers around my underwear and ripped them from my body, leaving me

#Chapter60I looked between my sister and the vampires that stood at her side. I could hear the sounds of Cain and Calyx battling it out from behind me. An overwhelming feeling of dread came over me as I knew we were screwed; we were outnumbered and unprepared for this. Especially the fact that Adela was a part of this whole plan. I shook my head and pinched the bridge of my nose. “Adela, I am your fucking sister; how can you say you are going to kill me? And most of all, why? What the fuck did I do?” I asked her in absolute disbelief. I needed to know what was going on and why. She narrowed her eyes at me. “Because I fucking hate you, it’s always about you; everyone loves and adores you. Dad, mom, Gunnar, everyone in the pack, they talk about you like you are a god. For example, when you started training with dad and Gunnar, I asked to train too, but they said no, that I was too weak, that I wouldn’t be suitable. Yet, they allowed you to join, and that wasn’t fair. The moment Cain
