LOGINWhat do you think about Idris? Can you trust him?
My fingers brushed over the bracelet around Caius’s wrist. “Do you want to have some milk outside?” I asked. He nodded. I lifted him into my arms and carried him out of the room. We had barely stepped into the corridor when we spotted Lucian speaking with several guards, giving them orders in a low, authoritative voice. The moment he noticed us, his attention shifted. “Are you both alright?” he asked. “Yes. I was just going to get Caius some milk,” I replied. “I want milk too!” Calla’s voice came from behind me. Before I could turn around, Lucian had already reached for her and scooped her into his arms. With both children settled, we made our way toward the kitchen. Once inside, we placed them in their chairs while Lucian prepared their milk. “Daddy, can I go to your alpha office tomorrow?” Calla asked. “That place isn’t for pups,” Caius immediately objected. “But I want to see Dad working!” Calla protested. “I want to see his office and make sure he’s safe there. What’s
Amanda followed me into the garden and stayed beside me as I watched Kira play with my children. The uneasiness from our conversation earlier in the hall still clung to me. Seeing my reaction, the Great Priest had decided it was best to give me some time to process everything. Amanda kept glancing at me as though she still couldn’t believe I was really there, alive and breathing. “Are you alright?” she asked. I turned toward her, but the question only made me realize how little I understood about my own feelings. So much had been revealed to me, yet I still didn’t know whom I could trust. I needed to uncover the truth about what had happened before the lycan found me. Amanda seemed to understand. Without saying another word, she handed me a stack of photographs. As I looked through them, I found myself staring at familiar faces; Kira, Amanda, and even Vada were there. Almost nothing had changed about our appearances. The only noticeable difference was that we all seemed more ma
This wasn’t the first time I’d found myself lost in an unfamiliar place, with more questions than answers. The first time was when I opened my eyes in Lycan territory. Now, that same sense of uncertainty was creeping over me again. For the second time, I found myself wondering if I could truly live under the same roof as Alpha Lucian, especially when the intensity in his eyes made it clear that whatever he felt for me was far from simple. I slowly took in my surroundings while Calla and Caius wandered around, exploring their new room. “This will be your room,” Lucian said as he opened the door to a spacious suite. I stepped inside and took in the enormous room. A cozy sitting area occupied one side, while floor-to-ceiling windows stretched across the far wall, offering a breathtaking view of the mountains beyond. Through an adjoining doorway, I caught sight of a bedroom furnished with a massive king-size bed. “If this room makes you uncomfortable, I can have an extension built,”
Somehow, an unfamiliar emotion stirred inside me. I knew I was strong, but I would never willingly put my children in danger. They were still young, and war was never an option when their lives were at stake. No matter how badly I wanted answers or how lost I felt, my children’s safety would always come first. Yet one thought continued to claw its way into my mind, refusing to be silenced. He had wanted to kill me. Why was this man so different from the one I remembered? Lucian turned as though he had made his decision and was ready to leave. “Alpha Lucian, wait!” I called out before he could take another step. He stopped. “I’m disappointed that you’re already planning a war against the lycans instead of getting to know our children.” At my words, he froze mid-motion For a moment, I felt the violent storm inside his chest begin to settle, his anger slowly receding as though my words had reached the wolf beneath his fury. But I was equally stunned by what Alpha Lucian said n
Alpha Lucian and I sat facing each other in the private room, with my two children seated beside us. The silence between us felt painfully awkward, and I found myself at a complete loss for words. ‘So this was what awkwardness felt like. I had no idea how to begin.’ “Alpha Lucian, thank you for bringing my children home.” It was the only thing I could think of saying. Before he could respond, the door opened, and my mother walked into the room with Remus following closely behind her. I immediately stood up when I saw her. “Mother!” I rose to my feet. “I thought you had already returned to the Lycan Territory.” “I was on my way when Remus told me you were here to meet with Alpha Lucian.” She glanced at him before looking back at me. “I won’t let you deal with the problem I caused on your own, so I came back to Verge City.” “Grandmother, I missed you. Can I have a kiss?” Calla asked, instantly drawing my mother’s attention. Her stern expression softened as she bent down and kis
When I stepped out of the Alpha’s Hall, all I wanted was to get away for a while, even if it was only for a moment. The weight of everything that had happened inside was suffocating me, and I needed somewhere I could finally breathe without pretending I was fine. I returned to the room I had been using in the mansion and closed the door. The moment I was alone, every emotion I had been holding back came crashing down. I poured out all the hurt, resentment, and humiliation I had been carrying until there was nothing left to hold inside. A few minutes later, there was a knock on the door. When I opened it, Kira was standing outside. Her eyes immediately fell on my swollen, tear-streaked face, and the pity in her expression made me feel even more miserable. “Where is Lucian?” I managed to ask. “He took the two pups with him to return them to Gwen in Verge City before the situation gets any worse,” she explained. “It’s my fault.” My voice trembled as I lowered my gaze. “But why does
“I accept the marriage alliance with the Blackwood Pack…” The words felt heavy the moment they left my lips. I didn’t even need the time my father had given me to prove my mate bond with Soren. That alone was embarrassing enough, but what made it worse was how he didn’t question me at all, as if
My mind is a mess. I pushed myself to get into Lycan Academy because, just as Rumi said, it was part of my agreement with Soren. This is the most prestigious school for wolves, one that doesn’t favor any pack, no matter where they come from, because it answers only to its own standards. I had told
“Gwen?” Rumi’s voice snapped me out of my daze after I froze at what I had just witnessed. For a second, I tried to convince myself it was nothing, desperately gaslighting my own thoughts. But my heart had already dropped the moment Soren and the woman kissed. She has blonde hair, effortlessl
[Gwyneth] They say the Moon Goddess will grant you the things you desire most, as long as the moon and time are aligned. I’ve believed in her for as long as I can remember. That’s why I’ve always been certain that Soren and I are mates, from the very moment I first understood what love was. ***
