Edeline
His lips found their way to my chest, sucking gently, and I couldn’t help the soft murmur that escaped me. I moved against him, desperate for more, pressing into his hard body as I ground against him. The low groan that rumbled in his chest sent vibrations straight through me. His hand moved up, lifting the hem of my shirt as I complied, letting him expose me to him completely.
With a sharp tug, he pulled my shirt away, my breath catching as I felt the cool air on my skin. He looked down at me, his eyes dark with desire, then murmured against my skin, “Much better.”
I could feel myself heating up, my body reacting to every touch. There was no way I was stopping this now, not when my body craved him like this. I whispered his name, breathless,
EdelineHis eyes weren’t just angry—they were hollow. Somewhere distant and cold. But underneath the fury, I felt his wolf through our bond. It wasn’t angry like he was. It was whining to mine. Restless. Displeased.“I. Said. I. Don’t. Want. To. Talk. About. It.” His voice was like thunder, each word spat with venom. “Go fix someone else. I command you—as your Alpha. Don’t ever bring up my family again. No more trying to fix me, Edeline.”Then he shoved my face away and stormed out of the room.I stood frozen.What just happened?I slowly
EdelineThree weeks laterI sat quietly at the kitchen island in my parents’ house, staring down at the steam rising from my cup of herbal tea. My mom was beside me, just to my left, her presence calm and familiar.“Mom,” I finally said, voice low, “I don’t know what’s going on with him. He’s just... not the same anymore.”The words left me in a soft exhale, almost like a sigh too heavy to hold in.I wanted to cry—God, I really did—but the tears just wouldn’t come. Maybe it was pride. Maybe it was just exhaustion. Either way, I couldn’t let myself fall apart. Not yet.My mom reached for my hand, her fingers warm and gentle as they wrapped around mine. I glanced up and met her soft green eyes, filled with concern and something else—pain, maybe. The kind only a mother carries when she sees her child hurting.“Oh honey,” she murmured, “what happened? Did you and Percival have a fight? Why haven’t you called me? Two weeks… that’s a long time for him to shut you out. Talk to me, baby. Pleas
EdelineHe didn’t say more, just held me like I weighed next to nothing as he climbed, moving with purpose. We eventually stopped at a rocky wall nestled between some trees. He set me down gently and took my hand, nodding toward a narrow path that wove between the stone and the trees.“Come on,” he said, and I followed, curiosity buzzing in my chest.Suddenly, he crouched down in front of a dark hole carved into the ground, pressed up against the rock face. A cave? It didn’t look like much—just a shadowy drop into who-knew-where.He glanced up at me. “Do you trust me?”I bit my lip, but I didn’t hesitate. I no
EdelineMy heart stuttered in my chest. I could feel my wolf stretching, tail swishing with joy inside my mind, sending emotions to Percival that made my entire body flush with warmth.Before I could respond, I was suddenly swept into his arms."Percival! I can walk!" I squealed, clinging to him.He smirked, silencing me with a kiss to the nose. "Not in those heels you can’t. I’m not risking you falling—not on this uneven ground, and definitely not on those planks."I huffed, but melted a little more at the care in his voice.He carried me down the dock and onto the boat, then gen
EdelineAs we walked the dirt road leading to my and Percival’s massive house, we passed other pack members here and there. Most of them smiled warmly, tilting their heads slightly, showing their necks in respect.A few even greeted me with, “Hello, Luna,” and each time, it sent a weird little jolt through me. Like… wow. That’s me now.“How’s it feel being Luna, huh?” Mirabelle nudged me with her elbow as the golden light of late afternoon spilled across the road.I smirked, glancing sideways at her. “Still getting used to it. You haven’t told me how it feels on your end. Miss Luna.”She gro
EdelineTears filled her eyes and she dabbed at them, trying to smile through the emotion.I never knew Maximus had put that much thought into it.“Anyway,” she waved it off gently, blinking her eyes dry, “he brought me to the poolside, and there was music playing. I was already half-lost in him, so I wrapped myself around him and we started kissing… then more dancing… and that’s when he dropped to one knee.”Her eyes glossed over again, fanning herself. “He said the most beautiful words I’ve ever heard. Like, I swear, my soul heard them. Then he pulled out this little black velvet box, and my heart just stopped. My wolf went crazy the second she saw that ring.
