Chapter 52PIPERKaela showing up was no doubt surprising, but I couldn't deny the rush of excitement I felt seeing her againWe may not be on friendly speaking terms, but her presence here was like an anchor I didn't know I needed. I left her to have a quick shower and changed into something more comfortable.“What exactly brought you to Lunaris? Did something happen back home?” Kaius asked, after we settled in the living room, sat together, across from her. “There was a rogue attack back at the pack house.” She revealed, and I gasped, my shoulders rising on alert.“Did anyone get hurt? Elara?”“She's fine.” Kaela cut in immediately. I let out a breath, my shoulders falling in relief. “The guards detected them before any actual damage could be done. They effectively guarded the pack house, securing everyone's safety. We wrote to the Alpha to inform him of the sudden change; however, I couldn't wait.” Kaela settled her gaze on me, “I knew why they came, that's why I hurried here to

Chapter 51PIPERKaius helped me up, his firm grip grounding my balance. “Thanks,” I whispered, sliding my fingers into his to keep me from falling. His hand snaked around my waist, protectively sealing me in his arms, enough to remind me of his vow, and still seemed like a concerned Beta helping the princess.I could feel Sage's gaze burning behind us, but I ignored it, shifting my focus to the group of rescued people, who were still in a daze, trembling, trying to comprehend their freedom. “I want to speak with them,” I said quietly, and Kaius nodded, grabbing my hand and placing it around his shoulder, to support my weight. When I stopped before the mini crowd, their murmurs switched into cheers, broken voices screaming in relief and gratitude. A middle-aged woman stepped forward, her eyes glossy as tears threatened to spill. “You saved us.” She said, her voice breaking as she reached for me. “You brought us out of our doom, the light that burned through the darkness,” she cri

Chapter 50PIPERThe search around the clearing lasted for three hours straight, until I settled by a tree to rest. Nothing useful had been found, even after burning the hours scaling through the forest. Although it was disappointing, I had high hopes that the day wouldn't end fruitlessly.While basking in my leisure time, Kaius and Sage had to continue the search, tracing and tracking down the belongings of the search troops that had been scattered by the window over time. Sloane, who just uselessly walked around with no purpose, evaded me, when the men left. A good decision she made on her path, avoiding a banter she is most likely to lose. I leaned my head back against the tree, letting my eyes close for what I promised myself would be a short nap.Not much time passed when a sharp burning sting shot through my shoulder, jolting me up. It felt like my skin had been set on fire. My brows creased as I pulled off my jacket and raised one of my sleeves. It was the spot my mark rest

Chapter 49PIPERWhen I woke, the first thing I felt was warmth, my cheeks resting on Kaius's chest. His arm was draped around me, protectively, even in sleep he refused to let go.I lay there, listening to his heartbeat, moving slowly and steadily, and in sync with mine.Memories of the night before came in soft, the touch of his hand, the sound of his voice moaning, the feel of his body on mine, his phallus buried deep inside of me. My core burned with desire at the memory, and I craved to have him again. I placed a small lingering kiss on his chest, his scent sweet, tingling my nostrils.Kaius stirred beneath me, his breath brushing against my hair. “You are awake,” he murmured, his voice deep, and still husky from sleep.“Yeah,” I breathed out, letting the yawn follow. I shifted to meet his gaze, and Kaius tightened his arm around my waist instinctively.“Hey, I am not going anywhere.” I smiled, resting my hand on his chest.“I am sorry, I just…”“Don't apologize for being protec

Chapter 48PIPER "I missed you more," I said, resting my hands on his chest. Kaius's heart pounded beneath my palm, a rhythm that matched mine. I placed my head on his chest, basking in the warmth of his body, and relishing his scent. “Do you mind sharing my room with me?” I whispered against him, an intense heat of longing wrapping itself around me. “How?” Kaius whispered back, his hand rising to my neck. His thumb caressed my ear, and I felt a tingle prick my skin.“Kiss me,” I commanded, and Kaius’ grip around my neck tightened, not hard enough to hurt me, but enough to hold me in place as he leaned in, his lips finding mine. This time, the kiss was deliberately slow. I parted my lips, inviting him deeper, and he accepted, his tongue sweeping into my mouth, claiming it entirely.A soft whimper escaped my throat as his other hand slid down my back, pressing me flush against his hard chest. Heat radiated from me, a burning sensation hitting my core. I held Kaius’ solid muscle,

Chapter 47PIPERTwo days later, I was discharged from the hospital. I was more than happy to leave; the sterile smell I had to put up with made a part of me wish Kaela were here.After Sage stormed out of my ward, he didn't bother showing up, not even today, and honestly, I wasn't entirely mad, because it was a save from seeing Sloane. Kaius was the only one present, though he showed up late yesterday, but he came with news that made me feel good. He found me a place to stay, I wasn't sure how he pulled it off in such a short span of time. He made the effort, and I was happy he did, but at the same time, my conscience kept pricking me. Kaius was the least person I expected to help me, given our few encounters. He didn't let that get in the way of caring or protecting me.“Are you ready?” He asked as soon as he loaded the car with a few of my essentials I got in the hospital. “Yes.” I sighed, rubbing my hands on my leather pants. Kaius opened the door for me and I hopped in. He j
