Gavin POV

Mom and Dad took their usual suite to get a few hours’ rest before we contacted Elaine. Everyone else went back to their rooms, but I was still restless after everything and couldn’t settle. So Atka and I decided to go for a run.

We headed out into the forest that was at the back of the castle. I stripped down, putting my clothes in one of the many baskets set out so we didn’t have to leave them stuffed in trees or on the ground, and then I gave control to Atka. We shifted into his wo

  • Luna Rising   Choosing You

    Allie POVI had no idea kissing Ross would be so amazing. I mean, I had a small idea. But it was beyond anything I could have imagined, and I found myself wanting more. He was breathing heavily, his hands gentle on my arms as we rested against each other. His heart was racing, but so was mine. That place inside my chest that sometimes felt separate was happy and content. “That was…” He trailed off, unable to find the words. “Yeah,” I said, smiling as I snuggled against his chest. It felt right. Like I belonged there. And when he dropped a kiss on my head, I wanted to stretch against him and purr. Where did that come from? Shaking off the thought, I nuzzled against his neck. His scent was intoxicating, warm teakwood and cardamom, at once comforting and sensual. I turned my face into his neck, right where I could smell him the best, and he shivered at the movement. That was interesting. Smiling to myself, I nuzzled again. His hand tightened where it sat on my hip. This time, I p

  • Luna Rising   Blossomed

    Ross POVIf I’d been surprised when Allie took my hand at the beginning of dinner, it was nothing compared to how I felt at the way she leaned into me as we chatted with the group after dessert. I didn’t want to move and risk her pulling away. I wasn’t sure what had happened today, but it had clearly been good for her. She was smiling more through the meal, occasionally speaking up about their trip to the mall, laughing when the women made jokes about one of the failed wardrobe choices they’d tried. She seemed to have…blossomed.I was totally here for it. The past days were a balancing act between giving her the space she needed to heal and keeping Jaxon on a leash. My wolf wanted to claim her and let her heal after, but I knew she needed to make the choice herself. She’d already had so many choices stripped away. Allie laughed at something my mom said. The sound hit me straight in the gut, and I smiled reflexively at her joy. I couldn’t stop myself from reaching out and winding o

  • Luna Rising   Finding My Feet

    Allie POVThe skirt was so soft. After years of scratchy, basic scrubs that were dirty more often than not, it was like a cloud touching my legs. I felt so…free. Grandma Gwen—she’d insisted I call her that, though it still felt odd to me—had added another three styles to the pile as we’d walked back to the fitting rooms. It felt excessive, but at the same time, I couldn’t deny that I loved all the options. I loved the idea of having a choice. And every one of the selections she picked had the same loose, soft quality, whether it was winter wear or formal dresses. Somehow, she’d instinctually understood what made me comfortable. Which was far different from what Elara was comfortable in. She had looked badass in the jeans and leather, and one-hundred percent herself. She had a spark in her eye that hadn’t been there when she was simply focused on keeping us alive in that hellhole. I hoped that meant she was starting to heal.I was. I couldn’t point to why it was…easier…for me to com

  • Luna Rising   More Than Meets the Eye

    Gavin POVThe women left with the same energy they came in with, except this time they had Allie and Elara in the middle of them. The girls looked a bit overwhelmed, but I trusted Mom and Grandma to see them through it. They needed a day where they were completely spoiled. And they needed the time with other women, with people who cared about them like daughters. The suite was quiet now that they were gone, and I turned to Ross. “Ready to get to work?”He nodded. “Dimitri and Declan should have updates for us. Let’s get to it.”We met with the group in the conference room we’d designated as a sort of headquarters for the duration of the investigation. Dimitri was setting up the projector while Declan was booting up his laptop. The others were looking through paperwork scattered across the desk. Uncle Gideon looked up when we came in. “The women get off okay?”“I think the idea of shopping with a group of females may have terrified Elara more than being strapped to that torture tabl

  • Luna Rising   Suit Up

    Elara POVMorning sunlight stretched across my face. The warmth pulled me out of sleep. I'd left the curtains open when I came to bed last night. I couldn't stand the idea of sleeping in a completely dark room again, and the moon had been full and bright when I finally turned in.I blinked my eyes open, the clean white ceiling coming into view. The soft, plush mattress underneath me still felt unusual, but I could definitely get used to it. For the first time I could remember, I slept through the night and didn't dream.I wasn't entirely sure what that meant. Still, I felt rested, clear-headed. And I was already craving a shower, so I tossed the covers back and headed to the bathroom. I hesitated for a brief second before I turned on the towel warmer, then opened the glass door and started the spray as hot as it would go. I stayed under the stream until my fingers wrinkled and my skin was pink. When I stepped out and wrapped one of the fluffy towels around me, I couldn't help the sm
