LOGINAdrian woke to warmth, too much warmth. His heart nearly stopped when he realized his head was resting against Kaelen’s chest, their legs tangled beneath the sheets. Panic surged. He shoved himself upright, only to freeze when he saw it, thin, glowing red threads coiling around his wrist, binding him to Kaelen. His blood ran cold. “What the hell…?” Adrian whispered, staring at the unmistakable bond mark. Kaelen stirred, blinking awake. For a moment, confusion flickered in his eyes, then shock. He tugged the sheet up to cover himself, gaze darting between Adrian and the red mark linking them. “What did you do? Adrian hissed, his voice breaking. You’re my sister’s fiancé! You’re supposed to be her mate, not...” He trembled as he scrambled for his clothes. Kaelen sat up, still staring at the line as though it mocked him. “I… I don’t know. But this—this isn’t a mistake. Adrian, you’re my mate.” “No!. Adrian’s hands shook as he pulled his shirt over his head. Whatever happened last night...forget it. This is wrong. You hear me? It never happened. Don’t you dare breathe a word of this to anyone.” Kaelen’s voice softened, almost pleading. “Adrian…” But Adrian couldn’t bear to listen. His chest ached as he turned away, slamming the door behind him, leaving Kaelen staring at the red bond that refused to fade. Two souls tied together by fate. One forbidden connection that could destroy them both.
View MoreThe morning came heavy with mist. The courtyard of the manor was lined with dark banners, their edges whispering in the wind. A chill sat in the air, pressing down on every shoulder that gathered there. The men wore black coats, the women veils. It wasn’t just another burial, it was one that carried the weight of loyalty, memory, and blood. Kaelen stood before the grave, his jaw tight. Ezra and Darius flanked him, silent, their eyes fixed on the casket being lowered into the earth. The scent of incense rose, faint and bitter. “Beloved family and everyone gathered here, Nan was more than a servant, Kaelen said, his voice low but steady. He was family. He watched over my brother and I when we were too young to watch over ourselves. He never once asked for anything in return.” The men around him bowed their heads. A few of the younger office staffs wiped at their faces discreetly. Kaelen’s eyes glistened, though he refused to let the tears fall. “He died protecting the people he love
ADRIAN'S POV...The room was silent, too silent. Only the faint hum of moonlight filtering through the drapes, soft and haunting, brushed across my’s face.I stood before him, chest rising and falling unevenly, my eyes searching Kaelen’s as if afraid the moment would slip away again.“Say something,” I whispered, his voice low, trembling.Kaelen stepped closer until our breaths mingled. “I thought I lost you, I..I thought you were leaving me” he murmured.Thewords dissolved between them as Kaelen leaned in and our lips met, slow at first, then rough, hungry, desperate. It wasn’t a kiss, it was years of silence breaking, the ache of longing bursting open.My hands rose instinctively to Kaelen’s neck, pulling him closer. Our breaths quickened, our bodies pressing together, every motion a battle between restraint and surrender. He looked him in my eyes, he could see the hunger, lust, and desire in them. In all honesty, his gaze terrified me. No one had looked at me with so much intention
Morning light crept through the silver curtains, flooding the chamber with warmth. Kaelen stirred, his fingers twitching against the bedsheets. Ezra, sitting nearby with crossed arms and a scowl, straightened immediately.“Easy, Ezra said, his tone rough but laced with relief. Don’t try to move too fast, brother.”Kaelen managed a faint smile, his voice still hoarse. “You sound like an old physiologist.”"You finally look less like death,” Ezra muttered, his tone teasing but clipped.Kaelen managed a faint smirk. “Guess the goddess still needs me alive.”“You know still someone has to babysit you, Ezra muttered, rising to offer him an arm. Kaelen accepted the help, standing shakily before steadying himself. How do you feel?”“Like I’ve been asleep for a century, Kaelen replied, stretching his arms slowly. What did I miss?”Ezra’s jaw clenched. “Too much.”Kaelen turned to face him, brows raised. “Now what? Since I can move around again, what’s our plan?”Ezra shrugged, pacing. “You te
The room was chaos.Selera’s sobs echoed through the chamber as she clung to Kaelen’s trembling hand. Ezra stood frozen, chest heaving, fists clenched so tight his knuckles bled. His breath came out in ragged bursts as he stared at his brother awake, alive, staring back at him with dazed eyes.Adrian lingered by the door, shoulders tense, eyes flickering between the two.Kaelen’s lips parted. His voice came out cracked and weak, barely above a whisper.“Where… am I? What’s… going on?”Ezra’s heart lurched at the sound. The brother he thought might never wake again was sitting right there, pale and shaking, but breathing. He wanted to run to him, hold him, but something inside him, something darker kept him rooted.After everything… she gets to be the first one he sees? Gosh i hate this lady.Selera sniffled loudly and wiped at fake tears. “Oh, thank the Moon… Kaelen, you’re awake, she whimpered. Her voice trembled in all the right places, soft and broken. You don’t know how worried I’
Ezra parked his sleek black car in front of the Pack Manor. The engine purred one last time before falling silent. For a moment, he just sat there, staring at the towering structure that had always been full of life and noise. Today, it was eerily quiet, too quiet for comfort.He stepped out dresse
The tires screeched softly against the gravel as the black truck rolled to a stop before the grand gates of Moonbane Manor. The air was crisp, and the moonlight spilled across the towering structure. The once lively manor stood silent tonight, eerily silent, as though even the walls were holding the
Ezra walked as though the weight he carried in his chest was going to make him collapse. He kept his shoulders hunched against the cold and the thing that burned hotter than the night, the pendant and picture pressed against his palm. The pendant was heavier than it looked, heavy with implication,
The night air was thick with silence, the kind that whispered secrets no one wanted to hear. Ezra stood frozen outside Kaelen’s chamber door, his chest rising and falling too fast, his mind trying to make sense of what his eyes had just witnessed.Selera.Lucian.Together again.His hand trembled a
