LOGINThe night before the ceremony, restraint breaks and both of them have a mind blowing hungry sex that their bodies have been craving for. Wren leads Kade to her room where he strips her dress off against the wall and sucks her nipples hard until they ache. Two thick fingers thrust deep into her wet pussy until she comes on his hand. He drops to his knees, spreads her open, and licks her clit until she shakes against his face. Then he bends her over the bed and drives into her in one hard thrust, fucking her from behind with one hand in her hair and the other on her clit. He takes her on her back, legs folded high, staring into her eyes. She rides him until she comes again. Against the wall. On the floor. Spooned behind her with one leg lifted. Hours of it. By the end she is sweat-slick and leaking his cum. One night they cannot take back. Wren Ashby has spent ten years being told she is nothing. No wolf. No power. No worth. While her twin Celeste is worshipped as future Luna, Wren scrubs floors and swallows every insult. Then Alpha Kade looks at her the way he never looks at anyone else. He is meant to claim Celeste according to pack law. Hours later the mate bond snaps in front of the entire pack. It chooses Wren, not Celeste. The elders force Kade to reject her. A wolfless Luna will weaken the pack. He does it publicly, even though his body already knew the truth. Old enemies circle. A buried power in Wren’s blood begins to wake. Secrets rise. She must decide if giving him another chance will heal her or break her, while a war closes in around them both.
View MoreWren's POVThe patrol howls sounded twice before the sun came up, one long note followed by a short one, which meant the border stayed quiet while the wolves changed their watch. I stood at the kitchen window with my hands pressed flat on the cold ledge and listened to a language I had never learned. Every wolf in Ashwood could answer that call from inside, but I could only stand still and let it wash over me the way I had done every night of my life.Sleep never arrived. Each time I closed my eyes the woman from my vision stood beside that dark water with her hand stretched toward me, and the old pull behind my ribs drew tight like a thread wound around a distant finger. I told myself Odette would know what it meant, for Odette always knew something even on the days she chose to keep it to herself.A pebble struck the glass. I eased the back door open and found Kade sitting on the garden wall with dew soaking his boots and his coat hanging open, a thin pink line of healing burn showi
Wren's POVThe clear picture hit me one hour before. It was stronger than any picture I made in many weeks. My body still shook a little when Odette brought Grier and Priya into the small room where I sat."Say to them every word you said to me," Odette told me. She sat next to me. She held my hand like she thought I needed the hold.I closed my eyes for a short time. The picture stayed clear inside. "A woman. Hair like metal but her face still looked young. Light eyes that almost never closed. She stood next to water but I did not know the place. She looked straight at me like she already knew I would see her look."Grier's jaw got tight. "That is the same woman Corin talked about. It matches fully.""There is more." My voice broke. The next part was harder to say. "She was not just standing. She reached her hand toward something. Toward me I think. But I do not know if it is happening now or later."Odette held my hand tighter. "You think she comes only for you. Not just for news or
Priya's POVPeople came into the big room slowly. The old leaders walked in two or three at a time. They talked in low voices. That quiet way showed everyone already knew about last night. The news had spread more than Grier wanted. I sat at the back next to Grier. I watched Thane sit down in the middle of the raised seats. His stick rested on his legs. His face stayed blank. I knew that look. It meant he had already chosen what to do before the talk even started.Kade stood at the front. Celeste was on one side of him. Grier was on the other side. I looked hard at Celeste from my seat. I tried to see if her calm face was real or just an act. She wore plain clothes that morning. Nothing loud or fancy. Her hands stayed together in front of her. They only shook a little. She could not stop that small shake."This meeting begins," Thane said. His voice was strong and clear in the quiet room. "We are here about Celeste Ashby going missing. We are here about secret papers from the patrols
Priya's povTwo days after that the call arrived. A messenger brought it just as morning began. One folded paper held no signature and no details. Only three words written by Corin with an unsteady hand. Tonight. Fence line.Grier looked at the paper two times, then gave it to me. His face stayed calm even though I saw the strain under it. "She has become restless for whatever cause. That helps us if restlessness makes her less careful.""Or it hurts us if restlessness makes her more harmful." I looked at the paper for a long time. Fear grew low in my belly when I pictured Corin alone again at that fence line, no matter how closely we planned to guard him. "You feel sure this is the correct way. Letting him serve as lure instead of meeting her in the open with the facts we already hold.""I feel sure this is the sole way that offers any hope of truly trapping her rather than seeing her disappear the same way every earlier mark of this plot has disappeared before us." Grier folded the
