LOGIN“Say you’re mateless. No matter what you feel, Laila. Don’t you dare say a word, unless you want your brother to lose everything.” Years of crushing on our Alpha’s son, Cael. Years of secretly dreaming he’d choose me, even while Lysander clung to his side. All those fantasies shatter the night he forces me to deny him at the Moon Ceremony. I thought my life had ended… until one reckless kiss from Cael binds me to a new kind of doom. For my sin, Lysander delivers her price: steal an ancient moon relic from the Fearless Pack, or lose my brother’s freedom, and the scholarship that was supposed to save my future. But how do I steal from a man whose very name is Death? A masked Alpha who watches me with burning restraint, his nostrils flaring, every muscle straining as if he’s one breath away from breaking. Sometimes he fails. Sometimes I feel the ghost of his touch in my hair when he thinks I’m not looking. And sometimes… I wonder if I’ll survive the way he’s already claimed me without a word.

I can’t do this… I can’t fucking do this. My gaze drifts to the ring on her finger, my ring on her finger. I don’t see myself exchanging vows with her. She’s controlling… and seems to know everything, no matter how well I hide it, she always knows. Everything. Every fucking thing.“Calm down,” I say, forcing the words out. “It’s nothing to argue about. She just happened to be there, and our conversation was nothing but friendly.”A muscle ticks in her jaw, her hands fumbling through the image she’s holding before she throws it at me.“Doesn’t look like it,” she snaps. “Seems someone is very obsessed with their ex-mate, and don’t fucking lie to me about it. Xade
~LAIA~When you have a silver-eyed beauty like Laia sleeping so peacefully, I swear the last thing you’d ever want in life is to stay away from her.Watching her tucked under my duvet perfectly… like she belongs in my bed, the missing piece in my life. Her eyes are shut, her breathing steady, soft. Watching her is everything I could do forever.It’s fucking tempting to sneak in and lie right beside her… but fuck no. I can’t.I mean… I can… but not without something going wrong. I can’t risk it.Years of sleeping alone, because the last time I try… it’s not a story I ever want to relive.Sleep clings to my eyes, heavy and deep, even as Maddox groans inside me, urging me to move closer to her… to feel her in our arms… to hold her.I exhale slowly. Rain drizzles outside. The room cold, enough to make everything else weighs on me; the sudden death of Alpha Maverick, the attempted theft of the relic… and Xaden, with whatever the hell he’s planning. It all scream at me.But staring at her m
~LAIA~“That was quite beautiful,” he groans. The realization of what I’ve just done washes over me. My cheeks redden, and I look away.“Don’t shy away. You’re too sexy… too fucking sexy not to look me in the eyes.”He stands from the bed, getting rid of his pants like he’s in a fucking haste…My eyes widen as his cock springs free, hardened and long, and I’m suddenly wondering how in this motherfucking world that stuff actually fits into me.My thoughts are instantly replaced with him stroking his cock right in front of my face… I only stare, my face reddening.I… is staring at him even legal? Am I supposed to look away… to… characters in my books touch, right? But I can’t because that’s their man, right? And as far as Damon and I are concerned, he hasn’t put a label to this—aside from me knowing my place as his bedmate… and I’m too fucking scared to assume. My gaze doesn’t leave him as he climbs back the bed… eyes still on me…“You’ve never…?” The question trails down to realization
~LAIA~A lump forms in my throat the moment those words leave his mouth.Heat pools between my legs instantly, my nipples already hard from his light caress, the rain doing nothing to cool down what's burning underneath my skin.I still don't fully understand what he does to me. I don't think I ever will. But I want him, by the goddess, I want him so bad it scares me. The look in his eyes right now... hunger, need so raw it sends wild shivers racing down my spine.We're still standing in the rain."I've never craved a woman this way..." His voice drops to something low and rough that goes straight through me. His thumb traces my jaw slowly. "Laia... I want you in the most unhealthy way." His forehead drops to mine, grey eyes holding me completely still. "I want to explore every inch of your body... make you come until you forget your own name... and then I want to hear your screams." His grip tightens just slightly. "Feel that sweet pussy pulsing around my cock when I sink my teeth in
