Killian's POV Having Adeline as my mate and Luna was probably the part of life I enjoyed most. But what I didn't sign up for? Christmas and the whole holiday family visit. It had become a tradition, one that Adeline enjoyed so much. And as the utterly besotted mate that I was, I couldn't refuse her. Last year had been at Solana and Marcel's pack house. The one before was at Klaus and Valerie's. She had a very large family, so we never run out of places to spend the holiday season. Every now and then, one of the kids would celebrate their birthday and my mate would drag me over. I have not recovered from the crowd that gathered here during Alex's one year old party, and also when I discovered that we were the host of this year's Christmas dinner. It was supposed to last for just about two or three days. But now, Adeline wanted everyone to stay until new year. Now I was currently in the lounge, together with all the adults of her family, as we played board games together. Everyone f
Adeline's POV"How come you didn't say something since?!" Lisa's sharp voice expressed our feelings perfectly.I was on a video call with my friends, but now all our attention was on Cindy. She'd gotten married two years ago to a man she met in one of her travels after college. He loved her every bit as she deserved, so we'd all been so happy when she said that they were getting married. She asked us to be her bridesmaids, and we all happily took on the role. Now, she was calling to show us her swollen stomach.Cindy's laugh poured out richly. "I knew that I was going to be ambushed like this.""You deserve it." Zara said, her 'mom tone' slipping in. "Your stomach has grown this much, and none of us knew you were pregnant until now!""It's been a lot to process, okay? Between work, family and love life..." She giggled when she saw that we were all glaring at her. "Fine. I was kinda shy.""I knew it!" I half-yelled. "There's nothing to be shy about. Beside, you're glowing.""Truly." Li
Fredrick's POV "All clear. Check again in thirty minutes to confirm." I said to Lorenzo Hale, one of my clients at Dominion National Bank. He'd suspected that someone was trying to break into the bank system and steal their money, and he'd been right. They were some movement. Subtle, but still suspicious. Someone's testing doors, and from the look of things, they would have stolen a huge sum if I haven't intervened. In the past few years, I had leaned into my computer skills and commercialized it, focusing more on cyber security. Muna was a big factor in this decision in many ways. She knew how good I was and she thought that I would do great if I go into it more. She was also a freaking hard worker, earning lots of money that I never let her spend in our home. She was mine to care for. In every way. I took her suggestion, and I turned it into a career. Now everyone knew about me. I had my team, but some particularly stubborn people like Lorenzo Hale would rather bother me. I let
Muna's POV"Zara, I don't think all of that is necessary." I coughed out a laugh as I stared at the trolley my sister was pushing. Clothes, toys, books and other nonsense my son would definitely not make use to of.She called me some minutes ago, just to show me everything she would bring to my house when she comes visiting. It was a whole ass jumpscare."Nothing! I mean, NOTHING is too much for my favourite nephew." She pushed the trolley forward and picked up another toy car and a toy that looked like Batman. Then she got some random toy of every skin tone and hair colour, with the claim that diversity is good. "If I don't do this, how will I earn the role of the favorite Aunty? I'm competing against Adeline!""You're ridiculous, sis."She shooed me away as a colourful children's book got her attention. At this point, she was out of ideas and just buying random stuff. "And you know Enzo has a lot of friends and cousins. He needs to have so much to share. It's my job to spoil him. I'
Damien's POVI arrived at Amara's restaurant, carrying a bouquet of freshly plucked roses. The staff stared at me as I walked in, mostly giggling or swooning. They were used to my presence here, as I regularly liked to surprise my beautiful mate. But it was not a surprise today. We planned on visiting a friend, and would I be a good mate if I didn't come to pick her up?Amara had made magic of this place over the years. It had expanded beyond what she imagined. I'd always known that she could do it, even in moments when she doubted herself.I moved deeper inside, the familiar hum of the place wrapping around me. It was no longer a single large space. It had been rebuilt, and now it unfolded into sections. Polished floors, chandeliers, linen-draped tables, plush chairs, low chatters and laughter, everything was elegant without being stiff. The sweet scent of meat, spice, pastries made my mouth water, but I pushed back my cravings, suddenly feeling too excited to see her.Well, I was al
Amara's POVI totally blamed myself for what I'd just witnessed. I should have known. It was school time, and the children were not home, except our one year old twin girls. But they were sleeping right now.I should have seen this coming. It was an unspoken rule in this house never to go into Jamie and Carrie's room or office without knocking.I'd taken the day off the restaurant. Well, because I was the boss and I could absolutely decide to.I'd been so excited to share the pizza I made with my new recipe with Carrie that I went to their office to meet her. I didn't knock—a mistake I would regret forever.I saw Jamie first. Sitting on his chair, eyes closed and head tossed back in pleasure. Wanton sounds that filled my skin with goosebumps was coming out from his mouth, and his right hand reached to grip something under the table.That's when I took my gaze down, and I saw her legs. I didn't need to be Einstein to put the pieces together.Worse? They didn't stop at all. Either they
Amara's POVThe past week had been the best. Damien had been so sweet, so open, I could feel myself being prioritized. He said he was going to create a safe space for me, but he was the safe space. The only time he wasn't as gentle with me was when he was pounding me in bed. I had easily become add
Damien's POVAmanda left earlier than she should, leaving Marcel and Solana here— the alliance they came for, forgotten. Everyone was gathered in the living room, and I could almost taste the tension in the air when I walked in.But I didn't care about anyone else, as my eyes found her immediately.
Damien's POV When Amara was back in my room, I pinned her to the wall, claiming her lips with a punishing kind of passion that left no room for doubt—she was mine. When I finally pulled back, her breathing was ragged, her cheeks flushed. She raised a brow at me, lips still swollen. "How long have
Damien's POV It was about 30 minutes drive to my parents house— which I hated, because it was the reason mom could easily barge into the pack house to make me miserable. If the distance was farther, she would probably think more before getting on the road. "So what's the plan?" Amara asked on the
