Carmine trembled so badly that it was a wonder that she remained standing. A knot formed in her stomach and she curled her arms around herself, mind going numb.
A blond was hanging on his arm, talking animatedly with the group she was with.
Ruby Williams
Heart thumping. Carmine stepped back, dragging in deep breaths. Like a serpent, fear coiled in her belly, ready to strike. Its cold and clammy hand gripped her heart so tight that it slowed its rhythm with a silent but potential force.
Carmine shook her head as she stumbled. Sweat trickled down her spine. What had she
come to
Kade left Ruby talking to the group and started walking towards her with fierceness in his eyes. She found herself frozen to the spot as familiar terror reverberated through her. She couldn’t help but notice that he was wearing a wedding ring on his ring finger. one that matched Ruby’s. So they were married now.
Carmine wanted to flee. This was the last thing she thought she would ever encounter in her life. She had run away from this wolf and here she was-right in front of him. What kind of party was this? That ominous feeling returned with full force. Her b*dy was shaking, and she had to clench her teeth to stop herself to keep up a semblance of
her defiance.
“Carmine,” Kade said in a low, feral voice as he came to stand in front of her, his alpha. aura spilling. “Finally, I’ve found you.”
She didn’t have the strength to respond. Kade was in her personal space, invading her

“Where were you all these years?” he asked. “You dared to run away from me?” He brought his fingers to brush her knuckles softly. The contact sent a chill down her spine. It felt like a thousand slithering snakes.
His eyes flashed golden. “I wasn’t coming to this party, but Ruby insisted I should because I have ignored these annual balls for too long.” He scratched his neatly trimmed beard. “I think I made a brilliant decision.” He gave her a once over. “Look what I found? You look beautiful, even gorgeous. What have you done to yourself?” His eyes went to the golden tips of her hair and a smile ghosted his l*ps.
Suddenly, he caught her upper arm. “Come with me.” He dragged her out of the party to a balcony outside and she left quietly with him, shuddering like a lamb, trying to

uppress her fear. When they were on the balcony, he made her stand against the w and growled. “Do you know my wolf suffered because of you for five years! Now that [ have found you, I am going to drag you back to my pack and chain you to my bed!”
A tear ran down her eye. She hadn’t felt this repulsed by anyone in her life. “You are the same as sh ole,” she said, pulling her arm from his grip. “You are married.”
“So what?” he snarled, taking a step towards her and she started walking backwards. “T told you that time that I would never accept you as my Luna, but you will always remain by my side, give birth to my pups” He sniffed the air surrounding air. “You do smell a little different, though. Have you been whoring?” Provoked as hell, she lifted her hand to slap him, but he caught it in the middle with amusement in his eyes. “You’ve become brave.” He shoved her hand down and lifted a strand of her wavy hair in his hands. Rubbing the golden tips in his hand, he scoffed, “Once this night is over, you are coming back with me. His eyes glazed for a moment and Carmine knew he was mind- linking with his wolves to instruct them what to do..
“I am not going anywhere with you, Alpha Kade,” she protested in a h o ar se voice.
His chest rose and fell in anger. “Of course you are!” he snarled. “I will-”
“Kade!” Ruby called him, her eyes going wide seeing Carmine. “What the f uck?”
“Say a word and I’ll cut that tongue of yours.” Kade warned her and Ruby snapped her mouth shut, glaring at Carmine.
She lowered her voice and said. “The Alpha Supreme is about to come. You better come in fast!” She was going to take care of this situation soon.
Kade nodded. He hated Theo because not only he took over his pack. Theo made him his puppet. And he didn’t know why Theo always kept a close watch on the Blue Moon pack.
He gripped Carmine’s upper arm and pulled her with him inside even as Ruby seethed. “Please don’t do that, Kade,” she requested him, blinking her tears away. “We are in a very prestigious gathering and have to look like a couple in love.”
Kade narrowed his eyes at her. Because of her, Carmine had run away, and he had punished Ruby for that by whipping her. This time, he won’t let her interfere. He leaned over to Carmine and threatened, “Don’t you dare to leave, Carmine. I will watch you the entire time!” His wolf had been extremely restless without her and now that she was here, for the first time in so many years, it was slightly calm.
They all came inside and a wave of dread coursed through. She had to leave instantly, somehow, her thoughts going to her son. Kade stood only a few meters away from her. keeping a watch on her. She scanned the exits as she worked on a plan. “Carmine?” she snapped her head behind to see Winn. He looked at her from top to bottom with

His compliment left her cheeks pink. “Thanks. Nice to see you here.”

He frowned at her words, but if he found them odd he didn’t show it to her. “Why are. you so distressed?”
“Where is Scarlet?” she asked, ignoring his words.
He smiled and pointed his index finger at the entrance. She followed the direction and her eyes landed on Scarlet. But disbelief rippled through her when she saw Scarlet entering with her fingers intertwined with none other than Theo Wilson. Her breath lodged inside her throat and, though she didn’t know why, her eyes turned misty as her heart stuttered.
The moment Theo entered the main hall, everyone present turned their attention to the Alpha Supreme. They gazed at him with pure awe and respect. But his eyes went to Carmine.
