LOGINMayaI stare at the strip in my hand, my heart racing so fast I can barely think straight.I… I’m pregnant.A slow, incredulous smile spreads across my face. I can’t believe it. Not yet. Not until I tell him.And oh, the look on Lucien’s face when I do… I can already feel it in my chest.We’ve talked about this before we tied the knot. I knew the timing wasn’t right then. But now… I’m ready.I’ve felt it growing between us—the connection, the closeness.Sex with him has always been electric. Anywhere, any time, as long as the children are out of sight… we can’t keep our hands off each other. But this… this feels different.Before, the first time we mated, there was doubt. Hesitation. Fear.Now… Now, it’s almost perfect. Open. Honest. Consuming.“Aren’t you hungry?” I ask, walking into his office, carrying a covered plate in my hands.His head lifts, eyes catching mine as I move closer.“Oh, thanks, bae,” he murmurs, a soft smile tugging at his lips. “You didn’t have to—stress yourself
Maya “Lucien…” I moan his name, my hips bucking against his face as the pleasure over me, are wild and exhilarating. He places his arms firmly over my abdomen, holding me down while his tongue continues its sinful magic between my thighs. He strokes, licks, nips, and sucks like he can’t get enough, like he wants to go deeper, like he’s devouring me completely. The way he moves his tongue feels like he’s fucking me with it, and I can’t think—can’t breathe—can’t do anything but feel. My fingers tangle in his hair as I whimper helplessly, my body trembling beneath him. I can feel the pressure building fast, tightening low in my stomach, coiling and coiling until it almost hurts. His tongue doesn’t stop. It only gets better. I’m so dangerously close to the edge. I squeeze my eyes shut, letting the sensation take over every part of me, letting it drown me completely… and then— He stops. The feeling disappears. My eyes snap open, my heart racing in confusion and frustration.
Maya The reception is jam-packed with guests.Everywhere I turn, there’s another face… another smile… another voice congratulating me. My cheeks hurt from smiling so much, from greeting people I don’t know—and honestly, people I probably won’t remember by tomorrow.Yet somehow… I’m truly happy.It’s overwhelming, yes. It's a little chaotic. A little too much at times. But it’s real.This moment… this life… it’s real.And for once, I’m not overthinking it.I’m just… feeling it.But then— There’s Lucien.I don’t even have to look to know where he is.I can feel it. That pull.That awareness that settles deep under my skin.And when I finally glance in his direction…His look sends heat rushing through me before I can even prepare for it.His gaze lingers a second too long, dark and knowing, like he’s silently reminding me of everything we’ve just become.I try to focus on the conversation in front of me, nodding politely, forcing a smile—but it’s useless. My mind keeps drifting back to
Maya Our big day is finally here.And despite how many times I told Lucien I wanted something small and quiet… he insisted.“There’s nothing loud about it,” he had said, his voice calm but unyielding. “Not when all I want is for the world to know that you are mine.”And the way he said mine…Yeah. I wouldn’t trade this for anything. Not even a little.“You’re glowing, Maya.”Claire’s voice is soft, almost fragile.I meet her eyes through the mirror, and my chest tightens. She’s already teary-eyed, her emotions sitting so close to the surface it scares me.“Don’t start,” I warn gently, my lips twitching into a smile. “If you cry, I’ll cry. And I am not ruining this makeup.”The makeup artist chuckles under her breath, still working carefully on my face, brushing, blending, perfecting.Claire lets out a shaky laugh, quickly blinking away her tears. “I’m serious,” she whispers. “I’ve never seen you like this before.”I haven’t either.There’s something different about the woman staring
MayaI’m in another realm right now.Everything feels surreal, like I’m living inside a dream I’m almost afraid to wake up from. Lucien has been nothing short of amazing, and now… it’s finally time for our mating ceremony.It still feels unreal when I think about how quickly everything has unfolded. Right after the proposal, we had the engagement party—and it was *lit*. I didn’t expect it to be that lively, that full of energy and joy, but it was everything and more.And Lucien?I had no idea he was such a great dancer.Watching him on the dance floor was something else entirely. For once, he wasn’t the Alpha King carrying the weight of an entire pack on his shoulders. He wasn’t the powerful, commanding leader everyone feared and respected.He was just… Lucien.It was so much fun watching him let loose, moving like the dance floor was made just for him. Every step, every turn, every effortless motion drew people in, but somehow, his eyes always found mine.And when they did…It felt l
MayaI can’t stop thinking about my time with Lucien. He is so damn sweet—nothing like the brooding, closed-off alpha I used to know. The way he includes me and the children in our plans is so endearing. He always says “we” in all our conversations, and that simple word does something to my heart.I know I should take things slow with him, but damn… I don’t want to.I’ve guarded my heart for too long, built walls so high that no one could get in. But with Lucien, it feels different. I’ve noticed that everything he does, he does it intentionally—like he’s carefully choosing every step just so we can all truly be together as a family. And that thought alone scares me… yet excites me even more.As for my fear of getting pregnant, we went to the doctor together. He didn’t hesitate, didn’t make it awkward—he stayed right there with me through it all. The doctor handled everything, making sure there wouldn’t be any risk since I’m not ready. And I love the fact that Lucien understands that.
Lucien I stare at the door Maya just walked out through. My chest feels hollow, like something vital has been ripped from me and taken with her.My wolf lets out a roar that shakes the walls of my office. The sound rolls through the pack, raw and furious, and I know everyone feels it. I do not car
Maya “And me?” My heart stutters in my chest as I stare at him. I already know this will hurt, but I still need to hear it. He plans his revenge with my father at the center of it, and I am standing right in the middle. A part of me wants to run. Another part of me needs the whole truth.“You are n
Maya I think you should know the truth. His voice stops me in my tracks.A part of me wants to keep walking, to put as much distance between us as I can. What more can he possibly say? He hates my father. He hates what my father did. That hatred is the reason he makes a plan that turns my life in
Maya The sunlight peeks through the window and makes me realize it is already morning. My body feels sore all over, and I wince as I turn carefully on the bed. I reach out and pat the empty space beside me, wondering if Lucien is still here. Last night flashes through my mind, he was gentle, rou
