She sneaked into the grand theater where the presentations were held.It was filled with seats arranged like a fan, tiered like in a movie theater, and at the back wall, there was a massive white screen for slide projections.Suddenly, the screen lit up at full volume, startling Rose, who immediately covered her ears, sending her fear into overdrive."Mommy, why won’t you wake up? Mommy!" It was the old horror movie Rose relived in every nightmare.She stepped back, knowing it was "that thing" already hunting her like prey."Rose! Rose! Rose!" voices began calling her from all directions, shadows creeping over the floor and the seats.On the screen, the dead woman lifted her head with hollow eyes and gave her a sinister smile."Leave me alone, no, no, leave me alone!"Rose began crying and screaming, ready to flee. She turned to run back through the door she had entered, and suddenly…"Rose, boo!""Aaahhhhh!" Right in front of her face, a grotesque specter laughed, its mouth stretched
The massive black wolf collapsed onto the ground, writhing in agony, its abdomen pierced and being consumed by the shadows."Rose, run now… run… little one… forget about us.""No! No more running! I won’t leave you! I won’t leave you!"Rose screamed, maddened with rage and vengeance, consumed by the fury of not even being able to control her own inner world.She charged forward like a lunatic toward her arch-nemesis—her darker, crueler self—which turned to face her."Give them back to me, damn you! Give me back my mates, give me back my body! GIVE ME BACK MY LIFE!" she bellowed.All the shadows under "its" control began slipping away and yielding to Rose’s command.The small human attacked with everything she had—punching and kicking, unleashing explosions of dark powers, and wielding the very shadows she once feared as her allies.They danced and crept along the walls, ceiling, and floor, joyfully gathering around Rose as though they had finally found their true master."AAAHHH!!!" R
ROSERose walked with greater confidence through the halls that, just moments ago, had terrified her.There was nothing stalking her here anymore; in this entire realm, she was the absolute ruler.Confidence and security had returned to her for good.“It’s easier and faster if I search alone. Wait for me here,” she told Aysling, who nodded happily, seeing Rose strong and fearless.The human closed her eyes and began to wander through her domain.Everything cast shadows in the real world, and she understood how terrifying this power could be if it fell into the wrong hands.She found a hidden elevator behind a massive painting in a sealed office.Descending, descending—floor after underground floor—there was a secret laboratory, just as they had suspected.She moved under the protection of shadows, drifting from one table to another, one computer to another.No one was there. Apparently, it was empty, but Rose knew that wasn’t the case.She reached a door and felt the luminous presence
"Maell, what are Aysling and Rose up to? They couldn’t stand each other before, and now they’re best friends,” Niall asked his brother irritably, both sitting in the back seat of the car on their way to the lab.“I don’t know, but they’re definitely up to something, that’s for sure,” Maell replied, his brow furrowed as well.Both were jealous because yesterday, and all night, Rose hadn’t paid them any attention.She had spent all her time with Aysling—she had even slept in her attic!“Do you think it’s about the plan to rescue that damn egg that I’m already sick of? Weren’t we supposed to corner the head researcher today to get all the information out of him?” Niall kept interrogating Maell.“I already told you I don’t know. Stop ruining my day even more! If it were about Aysling’s mate, I suppose we would have been invited.”“I’m so damn frustrated! Aysling got into Rose’s apartment before we did! I don’t even know why I listened to your stupid ‘friends with benefits’ idea! We should
“Niall, calm down. She’s just messing with you.”“Aysling, where is Rose?” Maell also spoke with restrained anger.“Oh, I missed this dynamic of the ‘good wolf’ and the ‘bad wolf.’ Or better yet, the ‘crazy wolf’ and the ‘insane wolf,’ because both of you have a few screws loose in your heads. Are you going to threaten me with calling Mom now?”Aysling suddenly stopped talking, feeling a strong pressure on her neck as Maell slammed her against the column, squeezing it with his hand almost to the point of choking her.“No, now we’re going to take back our mate and lock her up. Two days later, let’s see who the hell saves your husband’s rotten egg,” he growled through clenched teeth, enjoying his little sister’s reaction.“What’s wrong, spinster witch? Not so funny now, huh?” Niall grabbed her cheeks, forcing her mouth into a pout.None of this really hurt her.“Fine, you win this time. You’re not such cute wolves anymore.”Aysling relented, rolling her eyes, completely unfazed by their
As expected, Niall was the first to let his wolf out.Aysling barely managed to cloak the area with an illusion.She should have seen it coming; this was a normal reaction from her brothers when they were under extreme stress—especially surrounded by humans!Rose was beyond stunned when suddenly a huge white wolf lunged at her, followed by a black one.If she had been a regular human, she would have been terrified, but these were her husbands!“Ha, ha, ha! No, Finn, don’t lick me there! We’re outside! Oh, for heaven’s sake, anyone could see you! Casey, wait, hahaha!” Rose was a mess, covered in licks and sniffs from every angle.They had been restrained for far too long since their reunion. Now, they couldn’t hold back anymore after such a declaration of love.Rose lay on the grass, hugging the necks of these intimidating wolves, her eyes closed, laughing and basking in their presence.No one would believe these massive wolves—capable of tearing out a throat in one bite—were now being
The lead investigator had the bad luck of not only withholding such vital information from the owners but also ruining part of their honeymoon.So, when he found himself locked in the executive office, cornered by two furious Alphas and a witch searching for her mate, he didn’t last 15 minutes before spilling everything.As for Milo, the investigator didn’t know much about him. Rather than conducting an investigation, it seemed more like they had been hired as caretakers and storage for that strange golden object.Under the threat of even his cat being kidnapped and beaten, he handed over access codes that Milo believed only he knew—but clearly, he didn’t.Additionally, the resourceful investigator, being a cautious man, had installed hidden cameras in the area where the strange egg was kept and in the underground office where he practically lived, just in case Milo ever did something illegal that could harm him.Everything about that investor was dangerous and mysterious.The only re
A stunning woman stepped out wearing red high-heeled boots, black fishnet stockings that reached mid-thigh, held up by a garter belt cinched around her waist.Below, a tiny black thong left little to the imagination, and on her ample breasts, only two small edible stars barely covered her nipples.Rose walked confidently toward the pole in the center of the small square stage, illuminated in white and red.She felt a bit embarrassed as the moment came to step onto the stage—she had never done anything like this in her life!But when she saw her mates’ wolfish eyes, their expressions of pure lust, and the obvious bulge in their pants, she found all the boldness she needed to become their personal pole dancer.“Shit, Maell, tell me there isn’t any damn bet this time, because I’m about to come in my pants,” Niall growled, his eyes fixed on his mate.Maell prayed there wasn’t. This time, he didn’t think he could hold out or be the winner either.Rose began moving her hips sensually to the
