Alina:I had never imagined that hearing another voice inside my head could feel comforting. It should have frightened me. A week ago, it probably would have. Yet now, as I sat beside the large windows in Dimitri’s office with an old book open across my lap, I found myself smiling every time she spoke.“You’re reading too slowly.”I blinked at the page. “I’ve only just started. It is not like I’ve been reading for a long time now…”“You’ve been staring at the same paragraph for five minutes.” My wolf said, and I raised an eyebrow at her.“I was thinking.”“Exactly.”A quiet laugh escaped me. “She has opinions already? And it seems to me that she is not liking me too much.”Across the room, Dimitri looked up from the report he had been reading. An amused smile tugged at his lips. “I doubt that is the case.”“She thinks I’m reading too slowly.” I said, and Dimitri chuckled.“Well… is she wrong?”I narrowed my eyes at him. “You’re supposed to be on my side. Plus, I wasn’t reading at all…
Asher:The glass shattered against the stone wall with a sharp crack that echoed through the office. Wine splashed across the floor, staining the expensive rug a deep crimson as the crystal broke into dozens of glittering fragments.No one dared make a single move or take a breath longer than necessary… they understood my anger and the risk of playing with it.The pressure inside the room had become suffocating, thick enough to choke on. Daren stood near the door with his eyes fixed on the floor, shoulders tense. Several warriors lined the wall, each of them deliberately avoiding my gaze.I stood in front of the fireplace, every muscle in my body locked tight as the fury clawing through me fought for control. It was gone. The connection I had forced into existence, painfully, deliberately, ruthlessly… it had vanished.My wolf paced beneath my skin with violent agitation, his growl vibrating through my bones.She escaped. He managed to get her to her mind, and she escaped.“I know,” I
Dimitri:I felt her before anything else.The sensation hit me so abruptly that the report in my hands slipped from my fingers and landed on my desk without me even realizing I had let go. My wolf surged forward with a force that made my breath catch.Mate.But it wasn’t me he was reacting to… it was her.I closed my eyes for a brief moment, letting the bond pull me the way a tide pulls the shore. There it was, faint, fragile, but unmistakably present. Not a heartbeat. A presence. Small, confused, and newly awake.Her wolf.A slow smile tugged at my mouth before I could stop it.“She found you,” I murmured under my breath. “And it seems to me that it is going to be a bit of a journey from here.”The warmth racing through the bond wasn’t fear. It was curiosity, wonder, and beneath it all, a soft thread of confusion.“She doesn’t understand what’s happening,” my wolf said quietly. “And it might be a while before she actually does.”“She will,” I answered. “And you seem to be talkative a
Alina:Something was different.I felt it long before I understood it. The morning had begun like every other since arriving at the estate. The kitchens were filled with the comforting scent of fresh bread, servants moved through the halls with their usual quiet efficiency, and somewhere outside, warriors were already training in the courtyard. Yet none of it held my attention the way it usually did.My fingers kept drifting to the moonstone resting against my chest. I had touched it so many times that morning I had lost count. The stone felt warm. Not hot. Not uncomfortable. Just… alive.I frowned at myself.Ever since waking up beside Dimitri, I had felt strange. My body felt lighter, my senses sharper, and every now and then a soft warmth spread through my chest before fading again. Dimitri had noticed. I knew he had. He had watched me with that patient, infuriating expression of his, refusing to explain anything no matter how many times I tried to pry it out of him.Instead, he ha
Dimitri:I woke before the sun had fully risen, the room still wrapped in the soft quiet that comes just before morning. For a moment, I didn’t move.Alina was still asleep in my arms, her head resting against my chest and one of her hands curled loosely against my side as if she had fallen asleep mid‑argument and refused to surrender even in her dreams. Her breathing was slow and even, and the peaceful expression on her face made every report waiting on my desk feel irrelevant.She looked content. She looked safe. She looked more at ease than she had since the day she was brought into my home.I let my fingers drift through her hair, careful not to wake her. My wolf stirred beneath my skin, calm in a way he rarely was.Mate.“I know,” I answered silently. “She is finally ours completely, and the best part is, no one is going to be able to control her anymore.”He wasn’t urging me to claim her again. He wasn’t restless or demanding. He was simply satisfied, as if the world had finally
Alina:I was not sure how the night was going to go. All I knew was that I wanted this…He moved from my neck to my lips and I ran my hand over his chest before lowering it to his abdomen. He let out a low growl as my finger touched his belt before he took my hand in his.“You know it is me who is supposed to be spoiling you, not the other way around.” He said, and I laughed.“Well, it won't hurt for me to try and help.” I said, biting my bottom lip.“Tonight is about you and only you. Don't worry about the rest.” Dimitri said softly.He guided me to sit on the edge, then knelt before me, sliding my shoes off one by one. His fingers brushed my ankles, my calves, as he peeled away my pants. He looked up at me, his dark eyes asking permission.I nodded, not trusting my words.He lifted my shirt over my head, unhooked my bra with practiced ease. His gaze swept over me, and I could see how his eyes were darkening with lust as his want grew… but rather than take me as an Alpha, he allowed h
