Percival
The setup was simple but meaningful—a large canopy stretched across the burial grounds, and wolves came in waves, dressed in black, walking beside mates or close friends. Some held hands. Some wiped tears. Some just stared ahead, hollow-eyed but standing tall.
At least no alphas were lost. No seconds or betas. But the loss still burned.
Ashes would be scattered today. And memories would be carried.
Edeline leaned in and whispered, “There’s my brother.”
But she didn’t let go of my hand.
I saw Nixx heading toward us with Tatiana beside him, their steps in

MirabelleThat memory hit me like a wave, and suddenly my knees buckled. But Maximus was already there, arms wrapping around me silently as I sank into his chest. He didn’t speak—just held me, steady and sure.Tears slipped down my cheeks as the numbness set in.Someone I cared for deeply… was just gone. No final goodbye. No last moment. No one even saw it happen.Maximus whispered something too soft to catch. My wolf mourned with me, but more than that—she was worried. About me.She missed Conor’s scent, yes… but she was drawn to the one right in front of her. Right under her.
EdelineHis wolf had been on edge ever since he almost lost me. All he wanted now was to keep me close, mark me again and again, prove I was still his. Still alive. I felt it through our bond like a heartbeat.His lips buzzed softly against my neck. “If the doctor says you can go home…” he murmured, voice like smoke, “I’m going to destroy you in our bed tonight. Carefully. Thoroughly.”I gasped, my mouth parting, a rush of heat racing down my spine. All I could do was nod dumbly as the reality of the day returned like a splash of cold water.“I—I need a shower,” I stammered, blinking out of my daze. “Go. Go do what you need to while the doctor checks in.&r
EdelineWaking up to the warm weight of a body pressed against mine and an arm lazily thrown over my waist was… bliss. Light. Joyful. Just real and comforting in a way I hadn’t felt in a long time. The tingle of Percival’s skin brushing against mine was more than just a sensation—it was a kind of relief. Like, yeah, this… this is how I’d want to wake up every morning. Especially after everything.Lately, my body had been screaming in protest, pain flaring with even the smallest movements. But being near him? It dulled it. Took the edge off. Like his presence alone was a balm.Not that it’s surprising I was hurting. Getting impaled through the chest doesn’t exactly come without consequences. Still, I had been downplaying just
PercivalI transferred my hand from her abdomen and held the back of her hair in my palm, lowering her head and gently pressing my lips against hers. Sparks were sent through my body as her rosy, warm lips touched mine. I could sense the harm I inflicted upon her in addition to the harm she inflicted upon me.Chaotic delight.Her caresses were sweet, as she nibbled her bottom lip. I slowly swiped my tongue across her lip, and she parted them, allowing me access with a murmur. Immediately, my tongue entered her mouth and became entangled with hers. I experienced a sudden surge of lust and adrenaline, and my hand tightened as it grasped her hair. However, my kiss remained gentle and tender.I absorbed every groan, moa
EdelineHer eyes widened a little, lips parting slightly. I could see her starting to understand.“I’ve always been drawn to you,” I admitted, my thumb brushing gently over her sleeve. “My wolf’s imprinted on your scent. You’re constantly on my mind. But I couldn’t chase after my cousin’s girlfriend. Not while you were mourning him. Even if I met you first… it would’ve felt wrong.”I pulled in a shaky breath. “That letter—Melynn’s—it was from my true mate. She told me to find happiness. With you. She knew the Moon had a different path laid out for us. She’s a spirit now, but she sees everything. I thought she died years ago. Turns out… she was alive until eight months ago.
