LOGINMaya Lucien has made himself unnecessarily scarce, and I find myself searching for him everywhere.It’s been one meeting after another.Every time I try to reach out, it’s futile.Just like now.Ava and I had that real talk… the kind that lingers long after the words are spoken. I still can’t wrap my head around what it means—to have someone care so deeply about me. And everything she said… it all ties back to the Moon Goddess. To some kind of assignment.A destiny I never asked for.Yet, as we talk, my thoughts betray me.All I want… is Lucien.To wrap my legs around him. To feel him close. To let him take control in the way only he can.Especially after I finally end things with Tyler.And to say I’m not looking forward to that moment… would be a lie.This time, I’m determined to find him.In his office.My legs move before my mind can catch up, carrying me down the hallway with a will of their own.‘This is a bad idea,’ I think.‘No… it’s not. We want him close.’Lily stirs within
Maya I turn to Lucien, but he doesn’t look at me. His gaze is fixed on Tyler, his expression blank.Then I look back at Tyler, and I notice it immediately—the color has completely drained from his face. For the first time since he arrived, he looks like he has nothing to say.And that…That irritates me more than anything.“Yes, Tyler,” Lucien say sharply. “Go on. What’s your deal with Seraphina? Tell Maya—she’s your girlfriend, right? Don’t you think she deserves to know?”He stiffens.“I… um…”The hesitation only makes it worse.“You know what?” he mutters suddenly, shaking his head. “I’m out of here.”He turns and starts to walk away.My chest tightens.“No.”I don’t say it out loud, but I feel it.He stops.For a second, I think he’s going to turn around and explain everything.And he does turn.But he still doesn’t meet my eyes.I stand there, waiting, my heart pounding, giving him one last chance to say something to make sense of all this.He opens his mouth, like he’s about to
Maya I never told Ava about Tyler. All I know is what I chose to share—that there was someone I talked to every now and then. Someone who was overseas, studying. I have been dating for a while, even though we barely saw each other—once in a blue moon.Nothing like this.“Brother…?” I whisper, turning slowly toward Ava.I don’t even know what to think anymore. Everything is happening too fast. First, he calls her Lucien’s dog, and that alone sends a wave of unease through me. For a split second, a horrible thought crosses my mind—are they… sleeping together?But no. That can’t be right.I’ve never seen them in any compromising situation.And yet…Sometimes I’ve wondered why Ava is so protective of me. Why is she always watching, always stepping in. Even now, she’s refused to go back to Kael, despite him showing up over and over again, trying to fix things with her.None of it makes sense anymore.Ava stands frozen in front of me, her chest rising and falling too fast, like she can’t c
Lucien I haven’t felt like this in a while. Ever since Maya and I started getting along, things have been… good. Better than good, actually. But right now, my wolf feels different—restless, unsettled, like something isn’t right.I step out of my office and head straight toward the training arena, trying to shake off the uneasy feeling crawling under my skin.That’s when I see Maya.She’s rushing toward someone. I can’t see the person’s face yet, but from the way she moves and throws herself at him—it’s obvious they’re close. A low growl builds in my chest as my wolf howls loudly in my head, agitated, territorial.I thought we were getting somewhere. I thought things between us were finally changing. But right now… it feels like I was wrong.Without thinking, I start moving faster, my steps turning into a determined stride.Then I see it.His hands are all over her.Something inside me snaps.I step closer, letting my aura roll off me in waves, thick and commanding. ‘Who the hell has
Maya Definitely, something is wrong with me. I slowly shake my head, trying to clear away the thoughts clouding my mind.“What happened?” he asks softly.He tilts my chin up with his finger, forcing me to look at him. I meet his gaze, staring into those intense amber eyes. It feels like they’re peeling away every layer of me, like he wants to dig deep and uncover everything I’m trying so hard to hide.“Please… let me in,” he says gently, his voice almost a whisper.I just stare at him, my heart pounding. How do I even begin to tell him that I don’t want to get pregnant, that I completely lost myself in the moment, even knowing the risks of unprotected sex? How do I explain that I couldn’t resist him, no matter how much I tried?The words won’t come out.Instead, I do the only thing I can. I step forward into his outstretched arms.He doesn’t hesitate. It’s like he already knows what I need. He pulls me into his chest, wrapping his arms around me tightly, and I can’t help the way my b
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.Why did he s
Maya I close my eyes for a second. With these damn masks, it’s impossible to recognize anyone. And to make it worse, every male werewolf seems to have the same broad shoulders and solid build. The mask turns everyone into a stranger.The man wears a skull mask that covers his face completely. It’s
Maya My whole body feels like I’ve been hit by a moving train. I’m bone-deep exhausted, the kind that makes my limbs feel heavy and my head ache. All I want is a steaming hot bath and a bed. I want to curl up, close my eyes, and pretend today never happens. My babies are safe, and that single tr
Maya How does he expect me to leave when my babies are asleep inside my house? The thought knocks the air out of my chest. “No,” I snarl, anger rising fast. “I’m not leaving my babies.” The sound that comes out of me is raw. Before I can do anything else, he scoops me up again like I weigh nothin
Maya I don’t know how everything moves so fast. My mind is blank, like someone wipes it clean. Now I’m sitting on the cold floor in front of Ryan’s pack house—naked. My mouth drips with blood, warm and metallic, and my whole body is stained like I’ve been dragged through a nightmare. None of it
