Chapter: Chapter 131: ElaraThe idea of having some strange, fake flirting conversation with Varek over the phone made me feel like I was going to throw up... but I'd do whatever it took to save Kael. Anything. That was both the greatest honor and the hardest part of being a mother. I'd give up everything for him... even my own life and body if it ever came to that. Even so, Orion would never let things go that far. I'd do my part, and then we'd see what happened. The moment I thought about Kael, I slipped into a dark, depressing mood. It had already been a week since he was taken. I'd never been away from him for this long before. The longest time before this had only been five days, when he'd gone to a summer camp with some boys from Lucien's pack. I missed him so much that it physically hurt, and I still had no idea when I'd get to see him again. "You're upset," Orion said. "I can see it in your eyes." "I miss him," I said as I dropped onto the couch. "I miss him so much." Orion wrapped an arm around my sh

Chapter: Chapter 130: ElaraQuiet voices downstairs slowly pulled me out of my sleep. For a few seconds, I had no idea where I was... then everything came back to me. I'd gone to bed early the night before. Every single day had been harder than the last, and I'd been so mentally and emotionally exhausted that I'd fallen asleep before the sun even set. The soft voices continued through the closed bedroom door. I could recognize Orion's deep voice, along with Lucien's and Jaxon's, but I couldn't make out what they were saying. After letting out a yawn, I climbed out of bed, got dressed, slipped my phone into my back pocket, and headed downstairs to find out what was happening so early. The moment I reached the bottom, anxiety twisted inside me, and my heart started pounding. Jaxon and Lucien were leading Milo, the prisoner, up from the basement. They still held him firmly, but they weren't nearly as rough as they had been when they'd first dragged him downstairs. "Damn, guys," I said. "The sun isn't even up yet.

I told him everything before I came here, and he offered to bring a team to help. But I need to prove I can handle things like this on my own. Besides... by the time he got enough people together and made the trip, this could already be over.“And even if he could come sooner, Elara asked me for help... not my father. I take that seriously. Orion, I know we had some problems earlier, but I need you to understand something. There has never been anything between Elara and me. Is she beautiful? Of course she is. But I mean that the same way a brother would say his sister is beautiful. That's all. I'm here because my friends need me, nothing else.” A wide grin spread across his face. “And if you still need proof... I've already found my fated mate. Looks like fate brought me to Georgia for more than just helping my friends.”I stared at him, letting his words sink in before the answer suddenly hit

Chapter: Chapter 128: OrionMilo did his best to lift his tied arms."I'm obviously not in any position to help with that," he said.He was right. We'd already exposed him by capturing him. Like Lucien had said earlier, if Milo showed up at Varek's place again, Varek would immediately assume he'd shared information with us. By the end of the day, Milo would probably be lying in a shallow grave."Do you know anyone we could convince to switch sides?" I asked, still hoping we'd get lucky.He rolled his eyes."Someone working for Varek? No chance. We all know how he operates. He even told us when he hired us. If somebody offers us more money, we're supposed to tell him. He'll double the offer and throw in a bonus if we help kill the idiot who tried to steal us away. You could offer someone a fortune, and they'd only use it to get a raise from Varek. It's not happening.""But you said some of the guys are scared of what he's doing," Elias pointed out."Wouldn't at least a few of them decide to switch sides and do th

The confidence he'd been pretending to have was completely gone. All that was left was fear. "Please... you have to get me away from him. Do that, and I'll tell you everything."The fear pouring off the kid was almost something you could touch. We all knew how dangerous Varek was, and it was obvious his own men knew it too. As foolish as it might have been, I couldn't stop myself from hoping that this same fear was the reason Vale had stayed by Varek's side. Maybe... if I was lucky... My brother was only doing these terrible things because he was terrified of what Varek would do if he didn't."We don't need lawyers," Lucien said. "Orion and I are both alphas. Our written word carries legal weight on its own." He looked at Elias. "Grab some paper and a pen.""On it."Elias hurried upstairs and came back a minute later with both.Lucien lai

Chapter: Chapter 126: OrionBy the time Elara and Voss drove away, I stood there watching them with a small smile on my face. But as soon as she was out of my sight, that smile was gone. My wolf let out a low, dangerous growl. I turned and looked at Jaxon."Are you ready for this?" he asked. "You don't have to be part of it. Lucien and I can handle getting the information.""I appreciate that," I replied, "but I'll be okay. You both have been through things like this before, and I haven't. Still... This isn't just another mission. This is about my son and my mate. If I have to get my hands dirty to protect them, then that's exactly what I'll do."Jaxon studied me for a moment, licking his lips, then gave a slow nod. "All right. Let's get started."Selene walked past me and headed down the porch steps."Good luck," she said with a shiver. "I thought I could handle this, but I guess I'm more like Elara.

Chapter: Chapter 317 / LyannaShifter pregnancies lasted only seven months instead of nine, and I was nearing the end of my seventh month. The weather outside was starting to cool—well, as much as it ever did in Florida. There was a light, refreshing chill in the air, and I was growing more excited by the day to meet our baby. With just one week left until my due date, it could happen at any moment.I went into the nursery to go over my hospital bag one more time. It sat on the changing table, perfectly packed. Everything was in place. I let out a contented sigh as I looked around the room. We had chosen Winnie the Pooh as a gender-neutral theme.Atlas, surprisingly, turned out to be an incredible artist and had painted a stunning mural of a Pooh scene. It was so beautiful that I knew I’d have to find a way to preserve it someday when our child inevitably outgrew it.I was halfway through checking my bag when I heard raised voices outside—Mira and Rowan again.

She’d been wishing for a girl so she could decorate everything in pink—an over-the-top pink celebration. Instead, she had to rethink everything and go with neutral tones. Saying she disliked the safe choices of yellow, green, and gray would be putting it lightly, but she still managed to plan an amazing party over the following months.During the baby shower, as I was loading my plate with finger foods and snacks, she casually moved up beside me.“Are you two still serious?” Mira asked.“About what?”She rolled her eyes. “Really? The gender, you goof. You and Leo are still waiting?”I laughed. “Yes, we’re waiting. It’s going to be a big surprise.”“Ugh, you guys are ridiculous.

The sensation made everything feel more intense, and I hardened further. Desire pushed me forward as I met her gaze, increasing the pace of my thrusts. My heavy breathing mixed with her soft moans of pleasure.I was getting close. The pressure building in my balls and cock grew stronger with every second. I was on the verge of losing control, but I forced myself to hold on. Lyanna’s pleasure was all that mattered. Then she gasped, her hips rising to meet mine.“I’m gonna come,” she whispered.A grin spread across my face as I moved faster, driving into her without restraint, chasing my own orgasm.“Look at me, Lyanna. I want to see you when you come.”Our eyes locked. I held her gaze as her lips parted and her body trembled, shaking as her orgasm overtook her. Her cheeks flushed as the intensity of it washed through her.The connection between us—the way we looked at each othe

Chapter: Chapter 314 / LeoA week after Lyanna and I had gone for that run in the woods, we held the memorial ceremony. Dad, Lyanna, and I agreed it wouldn’t just honor those who died in the battle, but everyone who had lost their lives during the royals’ reign of terror. I sent out invitations to all shifter packs and clans across the world who wished to attend. I thought the turnout for the battle had been massive, but in the days leading up to the ceremony, every hotel and rental within a two-hour radius was completely booked.I hadn’t truly realized how far the royals’ influence had spread until shifters came from places as distant as Tokyo and South Africa. Their destruction had stretched across centuries, starting in Europe and spreading worldwide like a disease.We held the ceremony on my land. The energy of the land itself flowed through everything, reinforcing that this was the right place. It was one of the few places that still held the true essence of shifter power, and it felt fitting for something

Ever since the night I’d been attacked in my bar, everything had revolved around the royals—around Viola and her organization. We had spent so long running, hiding, investigating, planning, and preparing for them that it felt unnatural not to have some kind of crisis looming. To keep ourselves occupied, we focused on something we wished we didn’t have to do.Many shifters had died. Members of our pack, along with those who had come to support us, had lost their lives, and Leo was organizing a memorial service.

My wolf felt completely at home in it and didn’t want to let it go. As calmly as I could, I reached out to her.The power thrilled her, just like the awareness of what her father had been. I understood that, and I let her feel that understanding. I pushed my thoughts toward her, showing her how much I loved Leo, my family, and my friends—and how badly I needed to return to my human form to be with them. We weren’t just wolves—we were both human and wolf, sharing one body. We had to meet halfway.A deep sense of understanding flowed back to me.

Wenn zwei Menschen sich ineinander verlieben, sind zwei Herzen daran beteiligt. Deines und das Herz des anderen Menschen, das dir anvertraut wurde. Denk immer an dieses andere Herz, das dir anvertraut wurde, und triff keine dummen Entscheidungen, durch die du es brechen könntest.“Er nickte, obwohl ich mir nicht ganz sicher war, ob er wirklich verstanden hatte, was ich meinte.Soweit ich wusste, hatte Kael noch nie eine Freundin gehabt.Trotzdem hoffte ich, dass meine Worte in seinem Gedächtnis bleiben würden. Vielleicht würde er sich Jahre später daran erinnern und den Menschen, den er liebte, mit Güte behandeln.Nachdem er das Geschirr gespült hatte, ging er duschen und ließ mich allein zurück, um Orion die Neuigkeiten mitzuteilen.Ich saß da und starrte
