WINTER

The past two weeks had been a blur of nightmares. Crystal’s pregnancy spread quickly through the pack. Kallias hadn’t tried to hide it, he wanted everyone to know.

And what cut the deepest? It was how our pack members reacted to it. An Alpha fathering a child with another woman after taking a Luna would be met with shame. But in our pack, they greeted Crystal’s pregnancy with smiles as if it were a blessing.

Crystal’s life had changed overnight. Kallias moved her out of the maids’ pavilion and onto our floor, giving her a special room right next to his. He hadn't realized what he did wasn't something wise but I don't think he cares.

This morning, I caught some maids gossiping in the castle hall.

“I heard Alpha and Crystal will perform a mating ceremony soon. Then what will happen to Luna Winter if Crystal becomes the new Luna?”

I froze mid-step, my head turning toward the cluster of omegas gathered at the end of the corridor.

“She’ll be banished. No matter how much Alpha Kallias loves her, what good is a barren Luna for a pack?”

“If you’ve been paying attention, you’d have seen Alpha’s been watching Crystal ever since she moved here. It's like he wants her more than he wants Luna Winter.”

I gripped the stairs’ railing so hard my knuckles ached. Hot tears blurred my vision, but this isn't from sadness. What burned in my chest was anger.

Had I been so blind all this time that I hadn’t seen my mate eyeing other women?

I needed answers. I was just about to turn toward the maids when I saw Julian walk toward me.

He stopped before me.

“Julian?”

“Luna, are you crying?” He asked softly.

I quickly averted my gaze, blinking the tears away as if I could erase the evidence.

Julian’s eyes dropped to the floor, “I’m so sorry about what happened lately, Luna Winter.”

My pain had become public knowledge in the castle since the news spread, and they now whispered about it every time.

“I may not be coming to you at the right time,” He began, his tone apologetic, “But I really need your help.”

“Say it, Julian.” I straightened my spine.

I might be broken but I was still the Luna of this pack. If my people needed me, I would not turn away.

“I haven’t been able to reach Alpha Kallias since yesterday, he said he was too busy to see anyone. I have an important letter from one of our allied packs.” He lifted an envelope, its wax seal still unbroken. “Do you think you could take it to him?”

"Sure."

Julian handed me the envelope and I took it. He offered a respectful nod before turning away. Clutching the letter, I started toward Kallias’s study.

I hadn’t spoken to Kallias in two weeks. Was he all right?

The closer I drew to the black wooden door of his study, the heavier the pressure in my chest became. The image of him and Crystal together flashed in my mind again. I forced myself to look straight ahead as I passed Crystal's room.

But then I heard it.

“Fuck. You’re so tight and warm. You were made for me, weren’t you?” Kallias’s breathless voice slid into my ears.

I froze, my pulse thundering.

My feet betrayed me, moving closer to the half-open door despite the pain lancing through my chest.

“Whose pussy is better? mine or that boring, plain Winter’s?” Crystal asked.

Her jet-black hair swung in a rhythm as she rode his cock, her body moving up and down over Kallias' lap. He gripped her waist firmly, guiding her movements

“Yours. Yours, my beautiful Crystal. How could you even ask?” Kallias’s voice was a low growl. The same sound he always makes when he is about to cum. “Oh, fuck…”

“Yes… ah… cum in me, my Alpha. My dashing Alpha. I’ll take every drop of you,” Crystal moaned, leaning forward until their lips met in a heated kiss.

I staggered back.

I clutch my chest tightly when intense pain ripped through me. I could feel our mating bond straining, threatening to snap under the weight of his betrayal.

Enough.

I would not spend the rest of my life like this.

'I’m sorry, Khione,' I whispered to my wolf, guilt coiling in my chest. 'But this can’t be saved anymore. Today we sever our mate bond with him.'

------

I descended the stairs and walked to the dining room as night came. Crystal and Kallias sat together at the long table, a lavish spread of delicious dishes lay before them, the air thick with the scent of roasted meats and his favorite wine.

They laughed softly and fed each other.

“You need to eat more to keep my heir healthy,” Kallias murmured, lifting a forkful toward her lips. She accepted it with a smile.

Their hands stilled when I stepped closer, halting just a single step away from the table.

Kallias’s smile fell and he turned his gaze aside.

Crystal’s, however, only brightened. “Oh, Winter? What a surprise to see you downstairs. Will you join us tonight?”

I swallowed the burning urge to hurl one of the plates into their faces.

“No,” My eyes fixed on my mate. “I came here to tell you something.”

He knew my words were meant for him. Slowly, he lifted his gaze to meet mine.

“What?” 

“Let’s break our mating bond right now.”

The room fell into a heavy silence. I saw something close to excitement flickering in Crystal’s eyes. Kallias just held our gaze, fingers curling loosely around his wine glass.

Then finally, he spoke. “No. It would be an insult for me if we did that.”

“I would never keep a man who betrayed me and fucked another woman as my life mate, Kallias Thorn.”

“It’s not betrayal,” He answered calmly, “It’s normal for an Alpha to have two mates, Winter. A few months ago I realized Crystal is also my mate and I can’t ignore that.”

“So you got her pregnant?” I laugh bitterly “That’s the brilliant logic rattling around in your Alpha head?”

His eyes darkened at my mockery.

Kallias rose from his chair and stepped toward me until we stood face to face.

“No. I won't release you as my Luna or my mate. You will stay here by my side, in my pack, you heard that? I'll make a pack with two Lunas, first in history.” He said.

For a moment, I could only stare at him in disbelief hearing the silliest idea in my life.

“Not even in your wildest dreams, Kallias.” I hissed.

He didn’t need to release me? Fine. I would be the first to cut the tie. I was far too precious to waste another second chained to someone like him.

“I, Winter Ashbane of the Winterwood Pack,” My voice ringing with finality, “Reject you, Kallias Thorn, as my mate. I sever every bond that once tied us together.”

    KALLIAS“I’ve examined Luna Crystal, Alpha,” Gretta reported softly. “She ingested something that upset her digestion. It caused her pain but with the medicine I’ve given her, it will pass. Neither she nor the baby is in any danger.”When I returned to the castle last night, I found Crystal's chamber crowded with maids in distress. They say that they had discovered Crystal writhing in agony clutching her belly outside the castle gate.“Thank you, Gretta,” I murmured.The healer bowed before exiting the room, leaving me to exhale heavily. I crossed to the bed where Crystal lay, her tears slipping down her face.“Shhh, don't cry, my love,” I whispered, sitting beside her and brushing her hair back with gentle fingers. “You’re alright now. Our baby is safe."Her hand shot up, seizing my collar with m “Don’t lie to me, Kallias. I know Winter isn’t giving me harmless potions. She’s trying to kill our child, your heir!

    VALTOR“What do you-"“I just baited you. And look, you took it so easy.” Slowly, Lilith brushed my hand aside. “I can’t even remember the last time you were this possessive over a woman.”Her sly gaze lingered on me, lips curling into a smile that made my fists clench.“I don’t have time for this nonsense. If you're done, you can get out of my castle-"“But I haven’t even told you the most important part yet.” She tilted her head, “You really don’t want to hear about the latest dream I had, Valtor? Last time you ignored me, you lost what was dearest to you.”My lips pressed into a hard line. Because she was right. The last time I dismissed her vision about Alaric’s massacre, I paid with everything. I lost my Queen, my Luna, my other half. And with her…our unborn child. My pride had told me that being a King meant I was capable of protecting all that I loved. But my arrogance had cost me more than I could ever bear.I turned my back on her, I don't want to let her see the grief that

    VALTORWinter’s expression changed instantly, and whatever words she had been ready to throw at me died on her lips. She didn’t argue anymore. Even when I gave her the clothes for change and the small vial of medicine, she took them without complaint. I couldn’t risk staying away from Nytheris much longer with Alaric around, so we left the inn that morning.We traveled in our wolf forms and this is the first time I saw Winter’s beast. I had expected something delicate like her human but turns out I was wrong, her wolf was bigger than the other female pack wolves I've seen. She has unique silver-gray and pale icy blue eyes mirroring the winter sky she was named for.She ran behind my wolf, Magnus, with ease.'Strong,' I thought. A swell of pride rises unexpectedly in my chest.I remembered Winter had the blood of an Alpha from her father’s, though the past year had robbed her of the chance to sharpen her strength. But I was sure with the right guidance, Winter could become more than s

    WINTERValtor collapsed against me. Not entirely, his arm braced against the bed so that the weight of his body wouldn’t press me down completely. For a moment, he stayed buried inside me before finally pulling out. The sudden emptiness made me ache with disappointment. My hand drifted to my pussy and I felt the warm spill of his sperm seeping onto the sheets.“Did I hurt you?” he asked at last, lifting himself upright. His eyes darkened with concern.“No. You didn’t hurt me at all. That was… so good. I liked it."His gaze lingered on me, “Don’t look at me like that or we’ll end up in round two and I won’t stop until you pass out."I blinked at him "Like what?”But he was already turning away, retreating before I could press further.With a soft sigh, I shifted and sat back, adjusting against the headboard. My body was still trembling from the climax. Just when I thought he had left me to rest, Valtor returned.“Spread your legs,” He said flatly.“N-now? Can’t you give me a moment to

    🔞Mature content🔞WINTERMy body arched the moment Valtor pushed something inside my pussy. The stretch was so overwhelming that it made me think he had already buried his cock inside. But then I realize it was only his fingers. He pumped it in and out with a slow rhythm while his thumb was circling my aching clit until sparks of pleasure shot through me.“Oh, Gosh…” I moaned as his lips tore away from mine.While his finger pumped my soaked core, his mouth wandered lower until his tongue flicked lightly over my nipple. The slow taunting licks made me tremble, then he drew the peak into his mouth. My body writhed between the double assault, overstimulated at my two most sensitive places until I felt my orgasm coming. "I-it's so good..!"“Cum for me,” he growled against my ear.His tongue slid lower, swirling against my clit in perfect rhythm with the thrust of his fingers. The wet strokes and the lick were too much, too good I couldn’t handle it anymore.I cried out, clutching the

    VALTORShit. I regretted not bringing her here sooner before the damned rain started. Now Winter’s maid’s dress was soaked through, clinging to every curve it should have concealed.Her lips trembled as she looked at me. Whether from the cold or from fear, I couldn’t tell. But the sight of her flushed face, the wet fabric molding to her body, sent blood surging hot and fast to my cock.“The bathroom is there,” I jerked my chin toward the door. “You can take off those wet clothes inside.”“But I didn’t bring a change of clothes. Am I supposed to walk around naked?”My cock twitched.I clenched my jaw, holding back the urge to strip her myself, bend her over, and bury myself deep inside her right then.“I already asked for a change of clothes, the boy is fetching them now. I’ll give them to you when they arrive. Go, better get dry before you catch a cold.”“Alright.” She frowned “But what about you? You’ll catch a cold too if-"“I can change after you.” My gaze burned over her. “Or you
