تسجيل الدخولA loud shout rang out and a group of young guardians rushed toward us waving their arms.I stopped walking. “What is going on?”A girl with short hair reached us first. “Please. We need help. Our bonds feel weak. We saw what you did for Joren and Sela. Teach us.”Ronan looked at them. “How many of you?”A tall boy answered. “Six pairs. We tried talking but it still feels thin. Can you show us right now?”I glanced at Ronan. “We can try. But you have to talk honest. No holding back.”They nodded fast and led us to an open space with soft ground. The pairs stood close already nervous.One young woman named Tira spoke up. “My mate and I fight too much. Then we go quiet. How do you keep the fire?”Ronan answered. “We talk even when we are mad. And we talk when we touch. Try it now. Tell him something real.”Tira turned to her mate. “I hate when you shut down. It scares me. I need you to say what you feel.”Her mate swallowed. “I shut down because I am scared I will say the wrong thing. I
Ronan yanked me into a hidden grove so fast my feet barely touched the ground and his mouth crashed onto mine.I kissed him back hard. “Someone could see.”He laughed against my lips. “Let them. I need you now. Talking with that pair got me so ready I hurt.”I pulled his shirt open. “Then stop talking and show me.”He pushed me against a smooth glowing tree. “Tell me what you want first.”“Your hands” I said. “All over. Then your mouth between my legs.”His hands slid under my clothes fast. “Like this? Your breasts feel so full. I love how hard your nipples get.”I moaned. “Yes. Pinch them. Harder.”He did. “You like that. I can tell. Now I am going lower.”He dropped to his knees and pulled my legs apart. “You are already wet. I love how ready you get for me.”“Lick me” I told him. “Do not tease.”His tongue moved right on my sensitive spot. “You taste so good. Come on my tongue. I want to hear you.”I grabbed his hair. “Faster. Right there. I am close.”He licked harder. “Come for m
A tall stranger crashed through the light circle and dropped to his knees right at our feet breathing hard.I jumped up. “Who are you? What is wrong?”He looked up eyes wild. “My name is Joren. My mate is stuck. The pull took her. I heard you two fixed the last crack. Please help.”Ronan stood fast. “Slow down. Where is she? How long ago?”Joren spoke quick. “Half a cycle. In the dark edge. We were talking then the ground opened. She fell in. I cannot reach her alone.”I grabbed his arm. “We will go. Ronan come on.”Lirien appeared out of nowhere. “I felt the shift. The dark edge is tricky. You two go. I will watch the door.”We ran with Joren. The path turned cold fast. Gray mist swirled. Joren pointed. “There. The hole.”A wide black crack sat in the ground. Soft crying came from inside.Ronan leaned over. “Can you hear us? What is your name?”A woman’s voice answered weak. “Sela. I am here. It pulls hard. I cannot climb.”I called down. “Sela we are coming. Keep talking to Joren. T
The ground under our feet lit up bright gold and a door of pure light slammed open right in front of us.I grabbed Ronan’s arm. “That is the path Lirien talked about. It is open. Do we go?”He stared at it eyes wide. “Yes. Right now. I need to see the cabin again. You ready?”I nodded fast. “Ready. Hold my hand tight. We go together.”We stepped through. The light wrapped around us warm and quick. Next thing I knew we stood on the old ridge path. The cabin sat there same as always smoke rising from the chimney.Ronan whispered. “Look. It is real. Smell that wood fire?”I squeezed his fingers. “I smell it. And hear kids laughing. Come on.”We walked fast down the path. A young woman with dark hair spotted us and stopped dead. “Grandmother? Grandfather? Is that you?”I smiled big. “Yes Mira’s girl. You grew up. Call the others.”She ran yelling. “They are back! The founders are here!”People poured out of the cabin and the nearby houses. Kael’s grandson a tall man with Ronan’s eyes rush
A sudden roar of thunder and light crashed around us and threw us straight into a valley of dancing shadows that pulled at my chest like a magnet."Ronan hold on tight" I shouted over the noise gripping his hand hard.He squeezed back and yelled "I got you. This feels like a test but we are in it together. What do you say we turn it into our playground"We tumbled onto soft ground in a hidden corner of the valley where shadows played like curious friends. My heart pounded wild as Ronan faced me with that familiar spark in his eyes."Talk to me first" he said breathing fast. "What is running through your head right now""I feel excited and a little scared" I answered pressing my body to his. "But mostly I want you. Touch me and tell me what you see in me."His hands slid down my sides warm and sure. "I see my brave woman who faces every new storm with me. You are shaking a bit. Let me steady you."He kissed me deep and I melted into it. "Lower" I whispered. "I need your fingers on me w
A burst of wild energy hit us out of nowhere and yanked us into a storm of swirling colors that made my heart race like crazy."Ronan what is this" I gasped grabbing his arm tight as the lights pulled us forward.He laughed low and warm his hand steady on my back. "Feels like the realms are calling us again love. You ready for whatever comes next"We landed soft on a wide plain covered in glowing grass that swayed like it had a mind of its own. The air felt alive buzzing against my skin. Before I could catch my breath Ronan turned me to face him eyes locked on mine."Tell me what you feel right now" he said voice rough with that hunger I knew so well."I feel you" I whispered pressing close. "Your heart beating fast like mine. And this place... it wants us to let go completely.""Good" he murmured kissing my neck quick and hot. "Because I need to hear every thought in your head while I touch you. No holding back."We dropped down together on the soft grass laughing as it tickled our s
The second Ronan slammed the cell door, I knew the real fight was just starting between us.Cold stone pressed against my back as I slumped on the floor of the reinforced cell deep under Shadowfang’s main hall. My side burned from the fresh wound, blood still seeping slow through the rough bandage.
The snow turned red the second our packs slammed together, and the man I killed was there to watch me bleed.Fresh flakes fell heavy as we hit the river clearing. My wolves spread out fast, growls mixing with the rush of water. I gripped my blade tight, already tasting the fight.“Stay tight!” I sh
Three years had passed since Ronan and I first spoke openly of starting our own family. The pack of Stormridge Shadow had grown into a true power across the mountain territories. Villages that once stood divided now blended seamlessly. New homes built with stone and timber rose beside ancient trees
The bond that should have stayed dead was about to drag us both under in the worst way possible.A loud bang on the cell bars jerked me awake. My side still throbbed but the bleeding had slowed. A Shadowfang guard stood there scowling.“Alpha wants you upstairs. Now. Move.”I got up slow, chains ra
