I quickly pulled my hand away from Lydia's, straightening up instinctively.

"Princess Odette," Lydia said, immediately recognizing the shift in atmosphere and turning to see who had entered.

Her cheeks were still flushed from laughing.

"Oh," Odette said, her expression carefully composed now. "Sorry, I didn't know you had company. I knocked, but..."

We'd been so caught up in our conversation that neither of us had heard it.

"Your Highness, I didn't hear you come in," Lydia continued, immediately straightening more in her chair.

"Miss Sinclair," Odette replied, her voice cooler than it had been a moment before. "How... dedicated of you to keep visiting."

"I like helping people," Lydia said, lifting her chin slightly, though some of the warmth had gone out of her voice.

"How admirable," Odette said, and somehow made it sound like anything but a compliment. She moved to stand at the foot of my bed, her posture formal. "Though I'm sure the medical staff has his care well in hand."

    The Lighthouse Wing was incredible. Our suite sat on the highest point of the rocky outcrop, with floor-to-ceiling windows on three sides offering panoramic views of the ocean. I could hear the waves crashing against the rocks below, and the salt air coming through the open balcony doors was intoxicating."Holy shit," I breathed, dropping my bags and walking straight to the balcony. "Carson, look at this view."He joined me outside, wrapping his arms around me from behind. "Not bad for a mountain pack Alpha and Luna.""Not bad? This is incredible. I could stay here forever.""Don't tempt me. I'm already thinking about how we could convince Alpha Clearwater to let us build a vacation home down here."I leaned back against his chest, watching seabirds dive for fish in the waves below. "It's so different from home. More... peaceful somehow.""Different energy. Mountain packs are all about strength and endurance. Coastal packs seem more about flow and adaptation.""Makes sense. You can't

    The landscape gradually changed as we drove. Mountain forests gave way to rolling hills, then flatter terrain. By the time we stopped for lunch, I could smell salt in the air."The ocean," Carson said, taking a deep breath. "Been years since I've been to coastal territory.""How's it different from mountain packs, I've been to one long ago but don't remember much""Everything. Culture, traditions, even the way they organize their territories. You'll see."After lunch, we continued south. The final hour of driving revealed a completely different world, wide beaches, rocky cliffs, forests that came right down to the shoreline. And everywhere, the sound and smell of the ocean."It's beautiful," I breathed, watching waves crash against the rocks."Wait till you see their pack lands."Oceanview Pack's territory was unlike anything I'd experienced. Instead of mountain valleys and forests, their lands stretched along miles of coastline.

    The border checkpoint came into view, where Alexei's convoy waited. Three black SUVs with Royal Pack insignia, plus Hunter standing beside his own vehicle looking much more mobile than he had six weeks ago."Hunter!" I called out, getting out to hug him. "God, it's been what, a week since I've seen you? How's the leg?""Almost good as new," he said, barely limping as he returned the hug. "Doc cleared me for normal activities last week. And yeah, sorry, been swamped with catching up on all the Beta duties I missed during recovery.""Don't apologize. I've been buried in Luna responsibilities myself. Carson's had me reviewing trade agreements and territorial policies non-stop.""The joys of leadership," Hunter said with a grin. "Though I have to admit, it feels good being useful again instead of coordinating everything from a hospital bed.""Including dancing?" I teased. "Because I seem to remember you having some interested partners at ou

    6 Weeks Later***"You sure you packed everything?" Carson asked, zipping up his travel bag.I looked around our cottage bedroom one more time. Six weeks had flown by since our victory celebration, and now it was time for the Moon Goddess Festival at Oceanview Pack."Formal dresses, casual clothes, swimwear and some lighter clothing for the beach ceremonies," I counted off. "Yeah, I think I'm good.""Swimwear, for ceremonies?""Odette mentioned water rituals when we talked yesterday. Said I should bring something I don't mind getting wet. I'll either wear that or the lighter clothing"Carson raised an eyebrow. "Interesting. Mountain pack ceremonies definitely don't involve water rituals.""Should be fun experiencing something completely different."My phone buzzed with a text from Odette: Can't wait to see you at the festival! Been too long."Speaking of Odette," Carson said, reading

    He traced patterns with his tongue on my inner thigh, so close I could feel his breath where I needed him most.When his tongue finally returned to my clit, it was slower this time, circling the sensitive bud with deliberate precision. My back arched off the counter, pressing myself closer to his mouth. Fuck."Mmm," he hummed against me, the vibration making me cry out. "Taste so good. Could do this for hours.""Don't you dare stop," I managed between gasps.He laughed softly, the sound sending another shiver through me. "Wouldn't dream of it."His tongue alternated between gentle licks and firmer pressure, mapping every sensitive spot. When he sealed his lips around my clit and sucked, I cried out so loudly I was grateful for the cottage's isolation."Fuck, Carson, that feels-""Tell me," he said against my skin. "I want to hear what I'm doing to you.""So good. Your tongue feels so good, I can't think straight."He rew

    The cottage kitchen glowed softly in the moonlight streaming through the large windows. I'd moved to rinse our tea cups, but the successful evening had left me buzzing with energy and something else. Something hungry.Carson came up behind me, his arms sliding around my waist."Leave them," he murmured against my ear.Instead of turning around like he expected, I pressed back against him, feeling the hard length of him through his dress pants."Someone's worked up," I said, grinding my hips back deliberately.His breath caught. "Astraia...""I've been thinking about this all night." I turned in his arms, my hands already working on his tie. "Watching you command that room, seeing how every Alpha there respected you..."I yanked the tie free and tossed it aside."Do you know how fucking sexy you are when you're being all diplomatic and powerful?"Carson's eyes went wide at my language, then darkened with heat. "Is that so
