This female is the strongest Beta I've ever encountered in the packlands. Even in her weakened state, she looks like she can put up a fight. That's what I've been looking for since Evangeline was killed. I've needed a replacement Luna if only to lure those who came for my mate out. It's been eight years since I losi her and our pup. The only thing I have left is a throne that has been weighing heavier and heavier as of late with her killer on the loose. "She doesn't look like much. Silas says when she's escorted to the pack doctor. She needs a physical. I need to make sure she'll survive my mark when I bite her. She needs to be in perfect condition for this or I'm going to have to start over The last one didn't get very far," "Then we'll keep looking." I wave him off. "She has a mouth à on her," he laughs. "What do you want with the Elder?"

"He'll keep her complacent. As long as we have him, she'll follow suit. Give him one of the villas and send for their shit. I have to talk to the girl

Try t to be gentle on her. Looks like y'all got a lot in common," he smacks my chest as he walks out of my study

Pernicious Phurry. Beta female. Twenty-three years old. Five-Eleven. One hundred and ninety-two pounds. Has a good education. Her parents were both Betas so she's got a good bloodline. There shouldn't be a reason why her body would reject the bite of a lycan. The alpha didn't include what she did for his pack. She might not do anything. She smells like alcohol and not like she had a fun night. It permeates her skin.

The dead look in her dark brown eyes says she's probably been drunk for the past five years. I have no room to judge. I was there myself not that long ago. I put everything I could get my hands on in my body. None of it ever helped. None of it ever killed me. But if she's going to be the new Lycan Queen, she's going to have to shake that shit out of her system. She has a role to play and whether she makes it out alive at the end of it or not, I need her to perform to the best of her abilities so that I can get what I want. What happens to her after will be up to her if she makes it out of this alive.

"My liege," Dr. Alvarez bows her head when I approach her office,

Scars?"

"She's in good condition, sir. This one is strong," she comes over to me with a tablet. "Perry has a few scars and is a bit malnourished, but it's nothing a good night's rest, hydration, and food can't fix," she holds up the tablet.. *

There's a huge claw mark across her chest. Another on her back. A third on her right thigh. Nine scars that should have killed her nine times over. What the f**k did they do to this girl? A better question is what did she do to herself? Both questions will probably go "Are you sure she'll survive my bite?"

unanswered.

"My King, I know I sound like a broken record, but think of what this is doing to you. This will be the fourth female you've connected to. There is only so much your body and soul can take. This is damaging your transitions. If you don't make a real connection soon-"

Thank you, Oz, I nod. She lets out a heavy sigh and motions the door.

Just promise you'll try things differently. This girl looks like she been through hell already. There's no reason to be forceful with her. She's vulnerable. You can ask. Tell her the truth. She might be able to help," "There's only one thing I need her for," know,"

she squeezes my shoulder. "And by the looks of her, she looks like a willing victim,

Perry is sitting on the doctor's table when I walk in. She looks exhausted. There are dark circles around her eyes. Her long brown hair looks ashy. Her sun-kissed skin would be glowing if she took better care of it. It's been a long time since she's done her eyebrows. Despite all that, she looks like she works out. Like she's active. Her legs are thick with muscle. She has small waist for someone who weighs as much as her. It's all

"Not really," she says quietly.
