"Two more, and then we'll let you rest.""Before we start again," Caspian added with a wicked smile.Elara was still trembling when Kieran lifted her off him. "My turn," Alaric said. "On your hands and knees, love."She moved into position, her arms shaking slightly, and felt Alaric settle behind her.He entered her in one smooth thrust, and the new angle made her gasp. He was deeper like this. Hitting spots that made her see stars."Hold her up," Alaric commanded. "She's getting tired."Caspian moved in front of her, supporting her weight. "Lean on me. Let us do all the work."Alaric set a brutal pace...deep, hard thrusts that had Elara gasping with each one. And when Caspian's hand found her clit again, she knew she wasn't going to last long."That's it," Alaric growled. "Take it. Take everything I give you.""Five," Caspian whispered
Kieran's mouth on hers was devastating, all heat and hunger and barely controlled need. His hands framed her face, holding her exactly where he wanted her, and Elara melted into the kiss.Through the bonds, she felt the others watching. Waiting. Their desire building like a storm about to break.When Kieran finally pulled back, his amber eyes were blazing. "On the bed, tesoro. In the center."Elara's legs felt shaky as she moved to obey. The soft sheets cool against her skin as she climbed onto the massive bed and settled in the middle, suddenly very aware that she was wearing nothing but Alaric's shirt.All three brothers watched her with expressions that made her core clench with anticipation."So beautiful," Caspian murmured, moving to the foot of the bed. "Every single time, you take my breath away.""And tonight," Alaric added, prowling to her left side, "we're going to take yours.""Over and over," Kieran finished, settling on her right.Before Elara could respond, six hands wer
"But I still have to prove I'm worthy," Elara said quietly. "That I'm strong enough to be Luna. That I'm not a weakness.""You're not a weakness," Kieran growled. "You're our greatest strength. They just don't know it yet.""Then I'll show them." Elara lifted her chin. "At the Summit. I'll show all of them.""That's our girl," Alaric murmured, pressing a kiss to her temple.They sat like that for a while, the four of them tangled together, drawing comfort from the bonds that tied them.Finally, Caspian said, "You should eat. Then bath. Then bed. You've earned rest.""I should practice more....""You should rest," Alaric interrupted firmly. "You're no good to anyone if you burn out before the Summit even arrives."Elara wanted to argue, but exhaustion was pulling at her. "Fine. But tomorrow....""Tomorrow we train more," Kieran agreed. "But tonight, you're ours. No work. No stress. Just us.""Just us," Elara echoed, already feeling her body relax into theirs.Dinner was brought to thei
"Nine days is what we have." Kieran's hand settled on her shoulder. "And you're stronger than you think. You just need to believe it.""Believing it is the hard part," Elara muttered."Then fake it." He tilted her chin up, forcing her to meet his eyes. "Confidence is half the battle, tesoro. Walk into that Summit like you own it, and half the Alphas there will believe you do.""And the other half?""Will test you." His expression turned serious. "Which is why we're training you for every possibility. Magic. Combat. Politics. You're going to walk in there prepared for anything they throw at you.""And if it's not enough?""Then we burn their packs to the ground." His smile was all teeth. "But it will be enough. You're going to be magnificent."***The afternoon was spent with Helena, going over the specific Alphas who would be attending the Summit."Alpha Garrett," Helena said, pointing to a photograph. He was in his forties, graying at the temples, with cold eyes and a cruel mouth. "T
The Northern Pack Summit was nine days away.Nine days to transform from a nervous, barely-trained Luna into someone who could stand before fifteen packs and command respect.Nine days felt like both forever and nowhere near enough time.Elara stood in the center of the training room, facing Meredith across a circle of salt and protective runes. It had been three days since her shield breakthrough, and the High Priestess was determined to build on that success."Again," Meredith commanded. "Shield up, hold for thirty seconds, then expand it to cover the entire room."Elara took a breath and reached for her magic. The silver light came willingly now....no longer fighting her, but flowing like water responding to the moon's pull.Trust it, she reminded herself. Work with it, not against it.The shield materialized around her, a sphere of translucent silver light that hummed with power. Solid. Strong. Beautiful."Good," Meredith said. "Now expand."Elara visualized the shield growing, st
"I don't care what the council voted." Cassian turned to face the assassin, his ice-blue eyes hard. "I hired you to find an opportunity. Have you found one or not?"The assassin was quiet for a moment. "There's a gathering. Two weeks from now. Northern Pack Summit. Fifteen packs attending, including the one protecting her.""I know about the Summit. I have spies in the werewolf territories too.""Then you know it's the perfect opportunity." The assassin's smile was cold. "Large gathering. Multiple packs. Chaos and politics and posturing. Easy to slip something dangerous into the mix. An 'accident' during a demonstration of power. A 'rogue' wolf who slips through security. A poisoned glass at the feast."Cassian considered this. "The werewolf territories will be on high alert. Extra security. The hybrid will be surrounded by her mates at all times.""Then we make the threat seem like it comes from somewhere else," the assassin suggested. "A rival pack, perhaps. Or a political move by o
