Lily POV
The drive through winding forest roads had taken us deeper into the pack territory, away from the university, away from the pack house, away from all the watchful eyes and careful restrictions that had governed our lives recently. When Kai finally pulled the SUV to a stop, I understood why he had chosen this place.
We were at a secluded clearing overlooking a pristine lake, its surface like polished glass reflecting the afternoon sky. Trees surrounded us, their branches creating a natural roof that filtered the sunligh
LilyHis mouth, hungry as my own, found its way down my neck, tasting the salt and heat there, running his tongue along the curve of my throat claiming me with every nip and velvet of his tongue. I splayed my fingers on his chest which was now bare, then moved my fingers into his hair, urging him to take more. He flipped me onto the mat, pressing me against the mat. His hand moved to my hips, then down to the back of my thigh, his fingertips slipped to zipper of my pants. “Can I take this off?” he murmured in my hair. I nodded and lifted myself off the mat as he dragged down the slacks. My blouse followed next, leaving me in nothing but my matching underwear which I was glad I choose. Not that it would have mattered but the way Kai’s eyes darkened with desire when he saw the red lacy thong and matching bra… was the exact reaction I was hoping form. “goddess, Lily,” he breathed. “You’re so beautiful.”His mouth claimed mine again, angry and wild, stealing every breath I tried to fi

Lily POVI immediately took a deep breath as soon as I left his office , feeling like I could finally breathe properly again. The fresh air was a welcome relief after the suffocating tension of our conversation—or whatever that had been. My mind was still spinning, trying to make sense of his shifting demeanor and the questions that remained unanswered.The sudden shrill ring of my phone made me jump, my heart skipping a beat as I fumbled to pull it from my pocket. When I saw Kai's name on the screen, my face broke into a
Lily POVThe lecturer’s words hung in the air between us like a challenge. My heart was still racing from his casual mention of the Moonwhisper bloodline and the Shadow Council, but now he was looking at me expectantly, as if waiting for me to respond to something completely different."Could you help me carry these to my office?" He asked, gesturing to a stack of books and papers on his desk. "I'd like to discuss your academic situation privately."
Lily POVThe coffee shop was in a busy commercial district where a luxury car would be less conspicuous among the other vehicles. After Marcel reluctantly dropped me off—with strict instructions to call him the moment class ended—I set off on foot toward the university.It was farther than I'd anticipated. What had seemed like a reasonable walk in my head became a challenging trek in dress shoes that weren't designed for long-distance walking.

Lily POVThe butler nodded, producing a leather-bound planner from seemingly nowhere. "Yes, miss. Beginning tomorrow, you'll start taking classes and lessons to acquaint yourself with what it means to be Luna of the Royal Hunters pack.""Classes?" I repeated, feeling like a broken record.
