Alaric’s POV Chaos. That was the scene that confronted us when my crew and I surveyed the surrounding area around the burning hotel that Ben, Fabian Gray, the warlock chief, and I had built as a token of our friendship that spanned over the years. The moment I heard about the hotel burning, my crew and I ran. We came here as fast as we could to check the damage and see what we could save. From the look of things, there is no use saving it now. From our distance, just a few meters away from the hotel, we could see red-hot tongues of fire licking the building as it danced around in glee, spilling over windows and other openings. It was like a monster taunting us with its power and authority. Smoke billowed around us, making the air crackle with heat. It was so hot, scorching our furry covering. I watched as it made an upward assent until it reached the skies, spreading through the clouds, making them appear darker - much like how it looked with a storm brewing. “Let’s check

Erin’s POVI was struggling when we appeared at a place that looked like a hospital. It was all white and smelled of antiseptic. “Where is this place?” I asked in confusion, my eyes scanning the unfamiliar area. Lyla was ahead of us. Boris, on the other hand, held me in a tight grip.  He was almost hugging me. I recoiled inside, detesting his nearness.“Don’t worry, sis. We are still within the Red Stone Pack.”  Lyla told me, whipping her head around to face me. Right after she delivered that bit of information, Lyla turned her back to us to resume walking.  She sashayed her way inside, leaving Boris and me behind. Boris is standing at my back.  He was almost hugging me. Inwardly, I recoiled when I felt our skin making contact. “Let go.  I can walk by myself.” I ordered, my voice full of loathing. Boris chuc

Alaric’s POV“We still did not find any trace of her, Alpha,”  Blake reported, which had me increasingly worried. They just came back after scouring the south and eastern part of our border. They checked the area for abnormal movements, but they did not find anything.  Erin was nowhere to be found. With every day that passes, I am increasingly losing hope that I will never see my mate again. “Did you try to contact her? What about her wolf Maya? Can Eric feel her?” Ben asked.  We were back to my study, waiting for news about Erin. Yesterday, Ben and I tried to track her.  We went to our border in the north to trace her scent, but we did not find any. I pulled at my hair in frustration.  “Nothing. I tried to establish contact, but all my efforts were in vain.  Erin has not made any attempts to contact me.“Do you think

Lyla’s POV“Work on the samples immediately and let me know the result of your experimentations right away,”  I ordered the two doctors before pulling the surgical gloves from my hands and throwing them in the nearest trash bin. Then, we all headed out of the room.Walking the empty hallway of my secret laboratory with the sound of my clicking heels hitting the tiled floor,  I could not help the grin spreading across my face. All my plans are slowly taking shape. After my experiments come through, I will dispose of Erin and her worthless mother. Then, with Gavyn’s help, I will ditch my worthless mate, too.The Red Stone Pack could not serve two masters.  And Boris will definitely have to go. That is after I also plan my dear Father's untimely death. I am clearing the path to my own success - running over anyone who will block my way. I got out of the secret la

Alaric’s POV“What were you talking about?” Erin asked when she stopped a few inches away from me. Seeing the happy look on her face, I could not help but grab her hips and draw her close to me.  I rested my head on her flat tummy.  She, on the other hand, wraps her arms around my neck. “My Alpha wants something," she whispered huskily. Her voice was so low that only I could hear. Casting a warm gaze on our son sleeping contentedly in his stroller, I mumbled for her ears only. “I want another pup,” I told her.Erin looked shocked.   She pulled my head away from her belly to lift my chin.  Our gazes met. “Are you serious, or are you jealous?”  She teased, motioning her head in the direction of my Beta and his chosen mate. Her face took on a softened expression when she watched them cozy and lost in thei
