ZEPHYR

"It's been a month since the wedding. I expected our Luna would return reborn as a Lycan after the honeymoon, yet she remains human. What is the meaning of this, Arcadius?"

My uncle, Zeb, sat stiffly in my study, his large frame almost swallowing the chair. His long, dark hair was neatly tied back, but his rigid posture didn't mean well.

Lyla was out visiting an old friend, thank the gods. He was in town for the ceremony tonight, the official welcome for Lyla as Luna to the pack. After our wedding, we'd headed straight to Santorini for our honeymoon instead of having the ceremony first.

Still, he'd shown up at my home unannounced.

I sighed, trying to keep my irritation in check, resisting the urge to rub my temples.

Being Alpha meant your life wasn't truly your own. There was always a list of duties, expectations, decisions, all dictating how you should lead, how you should love, how you should live.

"I don't want to turn her." My voice was calm. "Besides, you know what a Lyc

    "Look, I know you might not be the biggest fan of pack stuff, but I really think you should come over to London," Susan said, adjusting the phone so I could see her better.She was in the kitchen making lunch, one arm throwing sausages into a frying pan while the other held the phone at an angle that gave me a crooked view of her chin and ceiling. Her blonde hair was oiled and pinned into a messy knot on her head, and yet somehow, she still looked adorable."We have a pack shaman here," she added. "She's… well, ancient and good. Very good. If anyone can figure out what's going on with you, it's her."I rolled onto my back, lifting the phone above my face. "I don't know, Susan.""It's a good idea," she pressed, the sound of oil crackling faint in the background. "New country, new weather. You can get your mind off things for a bit. Be away from that emotionally constipated Wrath pack."I guffawed."Will Stefan be okay with it?" I asked."Are you kidding me?" she laughed, then dropped h

  • BRIDE OF WRATH    Far Away From It All

    LYLASeeing my parents brought more relief than I'd expected.The moment I stepped out of the car and into my mother's arms, something in me broke.I burst into the kind of tears I hadn't allowed myself to cry in front of anyone. Not Zephyr, or my maids, or even myself.But here, I wasn't Luna. I wasn't someone's wife.I was just their daughter. Their arms were warm and full of love, and the minute they led me inside their home, I felt a sense of safety. Later that afternoon, after I'd calmed down, cleaned up, and eaten something light, we went out to tour the farm. Dad insisted I ride with him on the ATV, while Mum hopped in another with one of the workers.We laughed more than I thought possible. The farm had grown so much since my last visit with Zephyr. They'd expanded the stables, added new crop beds, and even opened a small greenhouse.Chickens were wandering freely in their designated coop space, a few lazy goats chewed on hay near the barn, and in the distance, the cows gra

  • BRIDE OF WRATH    The Rift

    ZEPHYR (ONE YEAR LATER) Lyla grew cold over the months. Something was eating her up, but she wouldn't talk to me. I suspected it was the baby thing. The disappointment of each passing month, of tests that led nowhere. But she never said it out loud.Our marriage didn't feel like a marriage anymore. It felt like we were roommates… mere strangers sharing a bed, and living under the same roof. I'd thrown her a surprise for her birthday, something small, just the two of us, Nik, Alex, and her parents. She'd barely smiled the entire evening.Her eyes lacked their usual spark, her laugh was forced, and she zoned out most of the time. It hurt me that she was being that way... shutting me out. She no longer curled into me when she slept. She stayed curled into herself. I tried everything. Talking, touching, giving her space, smothering her with affection. Nothing worked. I even booked a session with a therapist because of how concerned I was about her, of watching her slip away, and no

    "Mrs. Wrath, you're perfectly fine," Dr. Bea said gently. "There's nothing wrong with your reproductive system."I blinked in disbelief. "But… Zephyr and I… we've been trying. We've had sex multiple times, unprotected, and still, nothing."She nodded sympathetically, folding her hands over her table. "That can be completely normal, especially in the first few months. Stress, diet, even travel can play a role." Dr Bea smiled kindly. "You're not broken, Lyla. Your labs are strong, your cycle is healthy, and everything in your scans looks excellent. If anything, I'd say you're in better condition than most women your age. I promise you, biologically speaking, nothing is preventing you from conceiving."I sat in silence for a moment, trying to let her words sink in. But deep in my gut, that stubborn instinct whispered otherwise. Something wasn't right. I just didn't know what. I didn't know what my problem was. I'd been afraid of being barren. Now, I'd finally gone to the hospital, only

  • BRIDE OF WRATH    Still Paying the Price

    Luna Gia's voice broke through the heat of the moment as she moved to embrace her daughter. "Where were you?" she asked softly. "She needed the restroom," Troy answered for Athena, tearing his gaze from Slade. "I escorted her."Slade took that moment of distraction to pull the man from Troy's hold.His brothers followed immediately, surrounding him.The offender stumbled back, coughing."P-please. I-I'm sorry."Troy had subconsciously shifted to stand beside Athena protectively, even though she was now wrapped in her mother's arms.Harold remained silent, studying Troy with suspicious eyes."What pack are you from?" Zephyr asked, walking forward and taking charge of the situation. His voice was calm but cold. Before the man could answer, one of Athena's brothers stepped in. He wore an eye patch and spoke with fury. "We'll deal with him ourselves.""I'm sorry, but I'll have to disagree," Zephyr replied. "There will be no blood spilled on these grounds today. This gathering is to cele

  • BRIDE OF WRATH    Not a Man Like Me

    Sheer amusement had me sauntering up to him. He slid me a side glance, but remained perfectly still. Troy's hands were crossed behind him, dressed in full protective gear, he didn't even need. Black combat pants, black boots, a black long-sleeved shirt that fit a little too well… and an aura that practically warned people to keep their distance. "Mrs Wrath," he acknowledged flatly. I smiled up at him. "You know, you could always go talk to her," I said casually, going straight to the point. He stiffened for a moment, barely glancing at me. "I don't know what you're talking about."From the way his jaw ticked, I could tell he did.I almost burst out laughing, but took a slow sip of my wine instead. "Come on, Troy. I'm not blind. You two have been eye-fucking each other all night. You should go talk to her." There was a long stretch of silence, and I almost thought he'd ignore me as usual, letting it go. But then, as if reluctant, he spoke. "I'm on duty. Duty comes first." So,
