로그인Mila’s povWe finally decided to go back to rest because it was about to rain and because I could feel Knox’s bond humming with need.Thunder rolled outside, shaking the warped glass of the single window, but all I could hear was the ragged sound of Knox’s breathing behind me and the low, possessive growl vibrating through his chest into my spine.I was on my hands and knees on the narrow bed immediately we walked into the room, he pushed me in that position, the rough quilt scratching my palms, my short was shoved up around my waist.“Mila.” My name came out rough, almost a warning. “Arch your back. Let me see you.”I did and the movement pushed my ass higher, and he made a sound that went straight between my legs. His cock, thick, heavy, already slick from the way he’d rubbed against me nudged between my thighs. I was soaked already, the mate bond thrummed under my skin like a second heartbeat, hot and telling me this was right, this was ours, this was inevitable.He didn’t tease.
Mila’s POVI stared at the young man standing beside us.For a moment, I didn’t know what to say.The music and laughter continued around us, but suddenly they seemed much farther away.“The mountain we’re looking for?” I repeated.He nodded.“Yes.”Knox sat up straighter. “Who are you?”The young man glanced around before answering.“My name is Teddy.”He paused. “I’m the Beta of this pack.”My eyebrows lifted.“A Beta?”He nodded.“I’ve been the Beta here for several years.”I looked at him more carefully and he didn’t look threatening, he wore simple clothes like the other pack members, and there was nothing particularly intimidating about him.But there was something in his eyes I couldn’t pinpoint.“You said you want to go to the mountain too,” I said.“I do.”“Why?”He hesitated and that tiny pause caught my attention.I waited and he looked toward the fire.“My mate and daughter are coming with me.”I frowned. “Your daughter too?”He nodded.“She’s young.”“Then why would you
Mila’s POVThe entire dining hall erupted the moment Sasha’s opponent’s hand hit the table, for a second, I simply stared at them in shock.Then I burst out laughing. Sasha shot to her feet, throwing both hands into the air.“I WON!”The room exploded with cheers and Marie practically jumped onto her. “I knew you could do it!”Sasha laughed as she hugged her.“I told you!”The huge man she’d just defeated stared at his hand as if it had betrayed him. “I don’t understand.”Caleb was laughing so hard that he nearly fell off his chair.“She beat you!”The man looked at him. “Don’t remind me.”Sasha grinned. “You’re a good sport.”“You almost broke my wrist.”“Almost?”The man shook his head. “Never again.”Sasha laughed and returned to our table.I clapped for her. “That was impressive.”She dropped into her seat.“Thank you.”Marie shook her head. “You just couldn’t sit quietly.”“Why would I?”Henshaw sighed. “Because normal people don’t challenge strangers to arm wrestling competition
Mila’s POVI woke up to the smell of smoke.For one second, I thought we were under attack.I immediately sat up.My hand went to the dagger beside me and then I looked around, there was no huge fire indicating we were under attack.Everyone was still sleeping around the campsite.I exhaled.I looked beside me and Knox was still asleep.His head rested against his arm, his hair messy from sleeping on the ground.I smiled.After everything we’d been through, seeing him sleeping peacefully somehow made me feel better.I leaned over and gently poked his shoulder. “Knox.”Nothing.I poked him again. “Knox.”He groaned. “Five more minutes.”I laughed. “We’re not at home.”“Then ten.”“Get up.”He opened one eye. “Why?”“Because everyone is awake.”He looked around.Caleb was already complaining about his back.Sasha was trying to fix her hair and Marie was packing their things.Henshaw looked like he’d barely survived the night, his hair was everywhere and Marcus was already standing.Jon
Hansel’s pov I’m lying on my back between my mates, the thin blanket pulled up to our chests, and I can feel every single place their bodies touch mine.Marcus on my left. Caleb on my right. I was just able to close my eyes when I felt a hand run down my leg, before I could scream and throw the hand away someone whispered “Sshhhh or you’ll wake the others” Marcus saidI keep my lips pressed together and Marcus’s hand keeps sliding up and down my legs, his fingers slide under the waistband of the sleep shorts I wore to bed.His hand was drifting over the bare skin of my hip, then lower. He doesn’t rush, he never does. Two fingertips trace the crease where my thigh meets body, slowly and deliberately until they brush the already-slick folds between my legs. I suck in a silent breath through my nose. My eyes stay fixed on the dark canopy of leaves above us.“Shhhh” Marcus said again and I took a drop breath “Stop it, we’re in public” I whispered Marcus chuckled and Caleb’s hand f
Hansel’s POVI ran my fingers over the ancient markings carved into the stone. They were unlike anything I had ever seen.Some of the symbols were familiar. Others looked older than any language I knew or had seen, I could feel magic lingering inside them.Not weak magic but powerful magic almost the kind I always felt around Mila.“Mila,” I whispered.She stepped closer. “What is it?”“I’m not sure yet.”I closed my eyes and then I placed my palm against the stone. Magic immediately rushed through me.The markings began to glow and everyone stepped backward.“What did you do?” Caleb asked.“I don’t know.”The symbols brightened and then a voice echoed through the chamber but it wasn’t a real voice.It was an old memory like a story preserved inside the magic. I gasped as images appeared in the air.We could see wolves, hundreds of them, they stood on one side of a vast valley and across from them stood demons.The demons looked different from the ones we had encountered in the Und
Knox’s POV“Call the healer!”My voice tore through the hall, sharp and raw, but it felt like it wasn’t loud enough.Nothing felt loud enough because my mother was dying in front of me.Blood spilled from her lips as she coughed again, her body trembling under my hands. I dropped to my knees beside
Knox's POV….The plane landed smoothly, though my stomach had twisted from hours of anticipation. My hands clenched the edge of my seat as Caleb and Conrad guided me through the protocol for the meeting. Every detail mattered every gesture, every word was very important I couldn’t afford to make
Mila's pov…Kreda was draining and annoying, I almost punched her in the face.I reached the palace gates and pushed it open everywhere was dark already except for the torches of fires lining the place. Guards stood at their usual posts, but none of them stopped me as I walked inside.Some nodded
Knox Mercer……. I didn’t want a Luna. That was the truth no one seemed willing to accept. The council chamber was quiet, and I sat in my chair while Conrad and Caleb watched me. Generations of Alphas were carved into the walls, staring down at me like judges waiting for me to fail or slip up.
