The city lights blurred into a long, shimmering ribbon as I drove home, my mind a swirling vortex of the day's events. The success of the Blue Moon project, the undeniable thrill of my carefully orchestrated revenge on Ettire, all of it faded into the background. My thoughts always returned to his messages, his playful yet possessive words that promised a night I would never forget. He was waiting for me. I could feel it. I pulled into the driveway and stepped out of the car, the cool night air instantly replaced by a heavy, electric stillness. As the front door opened, a soft glow of candlelight illuminated a path through the living room, and a smile crept across my face. Dozens of candles, of varying sizes and heights, were placed with deliberate care on every available surface, their flames dancing and casting a warm, intimate light across the walls. The air, rich and heavy, seemed to hum with an unspoken promise.
Ettire took the bait. Desperate as he was, he had agreed to every single one of our terms in the contracts. I didn't think he even realized that one of the contracts was made with me, his former mate. He had likely just glanced at the company name, Lunar Crest, without bothering to check who had signed the documents. His overblown ego and shortsightedness were the tools of my vengeance, and he was using them perfectly against himself. In total, we had structured three separate agreements. Amy and Margie had created an independent investment company to get the agricultural sector in Blue Moon on its feet and see it through to the first harvest. An extensive feasibility study had already been conducted, and The Alfas from the other packs were willing to reinstate their old supply contracts. Everything was in place. All that remained was to recruit new pack members, and that was where Lunar Cr
Believe me, stepping in as the Good Samaritan was the last thing on my mind when I laid out this plan. Margie’s announcement about supporting her mate, instantly sparked an idea in me, and my offer to invest in Blue Moon was decidedly twofold. If I had only been after a decent to high return, I could have just as easily invested in my own pack, the business acumen of my inner circle was unmatched, and a project there would have offered a much more secure and predictable return. But no. To me, it was all about revenge.This plan was built for payback, nothing more. My need for revenge on Ettire burned within me like a slow, steady fire. I had promised myself I would face him again one day, but I never imagined it would be this soon. I saw my opportunity here, a chance to settle the score. He was broke and saddled with an overrated attitude, and I was going to show him exactly what he had lost by flatly turn
Anna’s Point of View now “Anna, I’m quitting. I’m moving to live with my Beta in his pack. He needs me, and I simply can’t bear to be separated from him any longer.” Margie glided into my office, her usual brisk efficiency replaced by a dreamy, ethereal expression that made her appear almost glowing in the morning light. She was clearly head-over-heels, her mind floating somewhere among the clouds, utterly consumed by her newfound bliss. A faint, sweet scent, subtly changed from her usual human one, now clung to her, a hint of something wilder, deeper; the unmistakable scent of a recently marked mate. I looked at my friend, an amused smile tugging at the corners of my lips.The confident, sharp-witted Margie I knew, the one who navigated the cutthroat fashion industry with a steely resolve, was nowhere to be found at the moment. In her place was now a woman who radiated pure joy, her eyes softened by a gen
But my mate was not remotely intimidated by my words. On the contrary, her hand closed around my boner, soft at first, then stroking with growing rhythm, each move steeped in quiet dominance. “It is too big,” Margie breathed, her eyes wide as she stared at me, then down at my erection, her voice tinged with a sudden, unexpected sting of doubt and fear. “So much bigger than I’ve ever seen. Will… will it fit inside me?” For a moment, surprise flickered across my face. This sudden shift in her, from ravenous eagerness to hesitant uncertainty, was completely unexpected. Seconds ago, she had been so confident, so boldly assured, as if she knew exactly where we were heading, what we were doing. “Of course it will. It was custom made, just for you. We are the perfect fit, babe,” I assured her, planting a heated kiss to her forehead. As she carefully stroked my member once more, a
My mate’s raging lust, the overwhelming waves of pure physical desire, completely blurred her ability to think rationally. All she wanted, all she needed, was the fulfillment that only I, her mate, could offer her. “Yes, Emile. I am yours. All of me, now and always. Please, don’t keep me waiting!” she whimpered, trembling with surrender. With a surge of pure, triumphant joy, I gathered her into my arms, cradling her in a bridal hold as if she weighed nothing, carried like the most precious gift fate had ever granted me. I took her to my waiting vehicle, her body pressed tightly against mine, her scent enveloping me. With one hand on the steering wheel and her tucked securely against my side, I drove rapidly in the direction of the pack. Xin, my wolf, was howling with unbridled excitement and fierce anticipation. ‘Why is the return trip so long?’ Xin complained loudly in my mind, impatience rolling off him
