Edeline
Percival burst through the door, breathing hard like he’d sprinted the whole way over the moment I sent that thought-link about us.
The room was dim, lit only by a low lamp and a few candles scattered near the table, casting soft shadows on the walls. I stood there, waiting, the red silk of my robe catching the glow.
He shut the door behind him, eyes immediately locking on me. They dropped down my body, taking in every inch wrapped in silk before rising back up to meet mine. His blue eyes burned with hunger.
I smiled, just a little, as he walked closer. He still looked sharp in the clothes he’d had on all night, the heat between us practically sizzling. “Hey.”

Edeline Every time we had sex, it was like this. Never rushed. Never dull. Percival knew exactly how to unravel me, to strip me bare and rebuild me with each kiss, each stroke. Seven or eight times since our wedding, and every one had left me shaking and ruined in the best way.His strong hands found the clasp of the garter belt, unhooking it with ease and tossing it aside. His fingers slipped under my hips, lifting me, and I felt the full weight of him above me. I was small beneath his frame, delicate compared to the solid mass of his body. He could’ve snapped me like a twig if he wanted—and somehow, that knowledge made me feel even more desired. Even more safe.“I want to see these,” he murmured, voice hoarse as his eyes roamed up to my chest. He leaned in and kissed his way up my stomach, across my ribs to the center of my chest, leaving hot, open-mouthed kisses that made me shiver.His tongue flicked, licked, teased. His fangs grazed along the swell of my breast, and when he acci
Edeline Every touch felt like fire and silk. Every stroke of his fingers over my skin made my head spin. I couldn't tear my eyes off him, completely enchanted by how he worshipped me.I had meant to tease him tonight. To drive him wild and keep the upper hand. But now? Now I was the one melting. That’s what alphas did—they flipped the script and made you beg without a single word.He looked up at me, those piercing blue eyes catching the light, and my heart stuttered. I reached down, unclipping the garter straps slowly while he watched every motion. When the stockings loosened, he leaned in and pressed soft kisses at the tops of my thighs, just under the lace. Then his tongue flicked out, teasing the sensitive skin.His hands gripped the back of my thighs, big and rough and unrelenting. My panties were practically nothing at this point—just a soaked piece of lace barely clinging to me.“Percival…” I breathed, but it came out as a broken moan.He released me only to scoop me up effort

Edeline“Wait—we? Dad knows too?”Of course he did. He’s a beta—he could probably smell the damn hormones from a mile away. Still, I was only eighteen, and Percival was twenty-two. Dad had always been quietly… protective about the age gap. Even though he and Mom had been younger when she got pregnant with Nixx.Mom chuckled softly at my expression. “He’s the one who figured it out. You forget how sensitive his nose is. He picked up on the shift in your scent almost immediately. Percival apologized beforehand, you know… about the way he’s been hovering. The way he served you first tonight, the way his hands linger around your stomach.” She laughed—a beautiful, almost girlish sound. “You&rsqu
EdelineI love Mirabelle. I truly do. She’s got a good heart. But damn—she’s as easy as instant pudding. And yeah, I know that sounds terrible, but I don’t mean it cruelly. Just... wolves don’t judge based on sex the way humans do. Mates are sacred. Casual flings? Not so much.Besides, wolves don’t get STDs, so that’s a bonus.Still, in our pack, she-wolves are supposed to stay “pure” for their mates. That didn’t stop some from sneaking around with wolves from other packs, but once they found their mate, if he made her wait to be marked... it said everything.It was public humiliation, plain and simple. Everyone would know she’d been around and
EdelineUsually, an Alpha feeds his female first when she’s expecting. It’s a symbolic gesture, and Percival did it tonight, which could expose us, but honestly, no Alpha needs a reason to show respect for their mate. With all the packs here, it might just be out of reverence for me.Then my dad’s gaze locked onto me, and I could feel the weight of his scrutiny. He was definitely analyzing everything, but there was satisfaction in his eyes as he watched Percival treat me with such respect.I smirked a little, trying to act nonchalant as I kept eating. My parents were clearly communicating through the bond.Sh!t. Percival, I think my dad knows or at least suspects what’s going on. We can
EdelineIt was a known fact that when a male’s mate is pregnant, he’s not just producing extra hormones for the baby. Nope, testosterone levels spike too, making him even more muscular, more aggressive, and, well, more... possessive.He led me toward a big table surrounded by wolves, some familiar faces like Maximus, Conor, Gaspar (who had Annabel half in his lap), Dad, our other beta, Gerald, and Damon with a Dark Moon wolf by his side. “I did,” I said with a bright smile, and he bent down to peck my lips.I noticed Annabel had changed—she’d grown, but she didn’t have her usual glow. Instead, she looked pale, almost sickly.“It’s time for us to eat,&
EdelineIt felt good to be surrounded by friends, especially women I could trust. Even though I used to have some doubts about Tatiana, I had a whole new respect for her now. My eyes flickered between the two of them before landing on Mirabelle. "So, what’s going on with you and Conor, huh?" I teased, wiggling my eyebrows. Mirabelle’s cheeks immediately turned red, but she quickly waved it off."We just... We clicked, I guess," she said with a grin, but her lips were different than usual—more soft and shiny than the bright red she was known for. It was strange seeing her like this.Tatiana, ever the interrupter, leaned in with a mischievous grin. "What she means is, when she first got here, she was all over him. And, well, seeing as she loves power an
EdelineIf I didn’t know better, I’d think Conor was jealous.Percival chuckled, scratching the back of his head. "Yep, still me, Ede."Mirabelle raised an eyebrow. "I see you're a little more... approachable now. My wolf doesn’t think you’re about to break us in half anymore. Let me guess, Edeline's the reason for that, huh?" She poked him playfully, and he growled, narrowing his eyes at her."What?" she said, looking innocent as she backed off."I’m only okay with being touched by Edeline. Sorry, it’s a wolf thing," he muttered, then pulled me close, his breath warm against my neck.
