LOGIN╭──────────.★..─╮ Selena's POV ╰─..★.──────────╯ ⛧☾༺♰༻☽⛧ I reached between us with shaky fingers after the orgasm, unable to wait any longer for my husband to make love to me. I gently eased him free from his pants, unveiling the warmth of his desire with reverence and care. He was thick, hot, and already pulsing with need for me. For so long, I convinced myself I didn’t want this. I lied to my own heart, pretending I could resist. But the truth is, if he had asked me to turn away, I wouldn’t have been able to. No matter what I told myself, I could never push him away. We had been so busy, me with my art and new collection, him with the pack, plus the therapy he had gently but firmly insisted I attend. Now that we were married, I couldn’t wait any longer. He had been so patient with me, and I wanted to reward him. I stroked him slowly, reverently, savoring the velvet hardness of him in my palm. “Make love to me,” I whispered against his lips, my voice
╭──────༺♡༻──────╮ Alpha Jeremiah's POV ╰──────༺♡༻──────╯ ⛧☾༺♰༻☽⛧ Two months later, I carried my newly wedded wife in bridal style through the door of our shared room, her white wedding dress spilling over my arms like moonlight. We had left the guests and our friends behind at the after-party. The guests could wait. The pack would wait. The entire fucking world could wait. I couldn’t wait another second to touch my wife. I hadn’t truly touched her like this in over a month. I had been away on a business trip, and I had insisted she take time for therapy to heal after what that bastard Dominic had tried to do to her. Even though she had told me it didn’t affect her much, I sent her anyway as a precaution. We hadn’t even had time to consummate our engagement properly. But now Selena was mine, in every damn way. Legally. Soon spiritually. And tonight, physically. I wasn’t letting her go until I marked her as mine. Selena laughed softly against my neck as I kic
╭──────────.★..─╮ Selena's POV ╰─..★.──────────╯ ⛧☾༺♰༻☽⛧ I took a deep breath, smoothing down the beautiful green dress, and turned toward the garden. My breath caught in my throat at the sight that greeted me. Rose petals, deep red and soft pink, were scattered thickly across the stone path, forming a clear trail just for me. They looked like nature’s own carpet, soft and fragrant under the morning light. I followed them slowly, my heart pounding, as I took in the garden that had been transformed into something out of a fairytale. Bright sunlight poured through the trees in golden shafts, catching on fresh blooms and dew-kissed leaves. Flowers of every color burst from carefully trimmed beds, their fragrance thick and heady in the warm morning air. It looked and smelled like heaven had touched earth just for this moment, pure magic wrapped in green and gold. I followed the petals until they stopped. My heart slammed against my ribcage as I looked up. Jeremia
╭──────────.★..─╮ Selena's POV ╰─..★.──────────╯ ⛧☾༺♰༻☽⛧ The sharp compliment on my black heels caught me completely off guard. Yesterday, Lily had looked at me like I was the enemy, like she wanted nothing to do with me. Today, she stood blocking my path with her hands hidden behind her back, her expression tight and uncertain. For a split second my mind spiraled into ugly places. What was she hiding? A knife? Poison? Something to hurt me again? But I shoved those thoughts away hard. This was my daughter, even if I didn’t know her that well yet. She wasn’t a threat. “I… I’m sorry for the way I acted yesterday,” Lily said quietly, her voice wobbly. “I just couldn’t accept that my father would do something like that, and I reacted badly. I didn’t want to believe a stranger, and then I ended up acting like a fool…” Her voice broke with a sob as tears filled her green eyes, eyes that looked so much like mine it cracked something wide open inside my chest. “Daddy Flynn s
╭──────────.★..─╮ Selena's POV ╰─..★.──────────╯ ⛧☾༺♰༻☽⛧ The sharp ringing of my phone dragged me out of deep sleep. I sat up with a groan, my lower back aching from a full night on the floor. The pain was beautiful, though, worth every stiff muscle and creak in my spine, because yesterday I had been wrapped in the chaos and warmth of being around all my children for the first time in years. Memories from last night flooded through me as I rubbed the sleep from my eyes. Jacob and Eric had clicked instantly, wrestling over popcorn like they had known each other forever and bonding over some video game. My quiet, bookish Rose had picked on Jacob all night during the Disney movie, teasing him relentlessly because she was overjoyed to have a little brother. Jacob complained loudly that she should leave him alone, but the secret grin on his face said he loved every second of it. Anna laughed at them and joined in a few times to tease him too, while baby Sophia fought to
╭──────༺♡༻──────╮ Alpha Flynn’s POV ╰──────༺♡༻──────╯ ⛧☾༺♰༻☽⛧ I stood there, jaw tight, when Dominic spat at me again. The wet glob flew through the bars. I shifted back just in time, watching it splatter uselessly against the cold stone floor. He grunted like the feral animal he had become, chains rattling wildly as he thrashed against his restraints, muscles straining, eyes bulging with raw madness. “You can’t do this to me!” Dominic screamed at the top of his lungs. “You should have let me die because this punishment is worse than death!” His eyes were wild and sunken in that matted mess of hair, glowing with delusion. “You can’t keep me away from Selena! She is my mate, my woman! I found her first, she belongs to me!” Disgust coiled tight in my gut. He was still lost in the past, clinging desperately to the lie that she could ever belong to a monster like him after what he tried to do to her. I opened my mouth to respond, ready to shove the truth down his throat, w
.╭──────༺♡༻──────╮ Alpha Jeremiah's POV ╰──────༺♡༻──────╯ ⛧☾༺♰༻☽⛧ "Baby, where the fuck are you?" I demanded, my voice a growl that went nowhere but my own throat. Selena’s voice, thin and trembling, came back through the mind link. "I don’t know the exact spot… but I’m in some kind of re
╭──────༺♡༻──────╮ Alpha Flynn's POV ╰──────༺♡༻──────╯ ⛧☾༺♰༻☽⛧ I don't remember deciding to move. One second I was standing in the hallway, rage boiling in my veins, the next my legs were carrying me straight to Madison's room like they had a mind of their own. I didn't knock. I didn't s
╭──────༺♡༻──────╮ Alpha Flynn's POV ╰──────༺♡༻──────╯ ⛧☾༺♰༻☽⛧ I woke up with a skull-splitter of a headache, my mouth tasting like stale beer and regret. The bright sunlight stabbed through the window blinds like it had a personal grudge. The night before replayed in fragments: Dom
╭──────────.★..─╮ Selena's POV╰─..★.──────────╯⛧☾༺♰༻☽⛧ “Pathetic,” My wolf cursed inside me, but her voice was raspy and desperate. “Fucking yourself to another female’s mate like some starved rogue.”But she didn’t stop me, no she pushed, her hunger slamming into me like a second puls
