Katrina’s POVIt was like a dam bursting. Claps and shouts filled the clearing. Wolves threw their heads back, howling in unison, the haunting sound rising into the sky and vibrating through my chest. Some people cried openly, their faces full of joy and disbelief. Others shouted “Luna! Luna!” until it became a chant, echoing louder and louder.I froze, overwhelmed. My chest felt tight, my legs trembling beneath me. I had never imagined being welcomed like this. I had never thought I would belong so completely. Tears burned at my eyes, and I lowered my head slightly, not knowing how to handle so many emotions at once.But Liam was right there. He brushed his massive wolf body against mine, his presence strong, grounding me, reminding me that I wasn’t alone in this moment. He gave a soft nuzzle to my neck, and I felt strength fill me again.With a shimmer of light, Liam shifted back into his human form, tall and powerful, his bare chest gleaming with sweat. His silver eyes stayed locke
Katrina’s POVThe next morning, I woke up to Liam kissing my face. At first it was soft, almost ticklish, and I tried to hide my smile by pressing my cheek into the pillow, but he didn’t stop. He kissed my jaw, my cheekbones, even the tip of my nose until I couldn’t hold back my laughter anymore. I opened my eyes, squinting at him through messy strands of hair.“Good morning,” I whispered, my voice still thick from sleep.“Good morning, my luna,” Liam said in that low, steady way that made me feel warm all over.I felt my lips curve into a smile, my heart fluttering at the sound of his voice calling me that. “Good morning, my alpha,” I answered back. My words made him smirk, but I leaned forward and pressed a quick kiss right on his nose anyway.He blinked at me in surprise before laughing, a deep, rich sound that filled the cabin. His chest shook as he chuckled, and I couldn’t help but giggle with him. He looked so different when he laughed, not the serious, commanding alpha but just
Katrina’s POVHe froze, his grip tightening on my hips. “Are you sure you want more?” His voice was rough, like he was on the edge of breaking.“Yes,” I breathed, turning my head enough for him to hear the truth in my voice. “Please… I want you. Faster.”That was all it took. A harsh growl ripped from his throat, and then he was moving again, deeper, harder. The slow patience he had shown slipped away as his instincts took control. He gripped my hips and pulled me back to meet his thrusts, each one stronger, each one making me cry out. My body jolted forward with the force, the sheets twisting under my fists as I clung to them.The rhythm grew faster, rougher, but still careful enough that I could take it. Every sound that left my lips only drove him on, his own groans mixing with my cries. I could feel the bond between us humming in my chest, stronger than ever, like he was claiming a part of me no one else ever could. “Mine,” he growled again, his chest heavy against my back, his w
Katrina’s POVLiam’s lips were soft and warm as he kissed his way down my neck, moving slowly like he wanted to memorize every inch of my skin. When he reached my collarbone, he let his mouth linger there. I could feel his breath, hot and heavy, and then his teeth grazed me just a little. The feeling was sharp and sweet at the same time. It made me shiver, goosebumps rising along my arms. He moved back and forth with his mouth, sometimes sucking gently, sometimes scraping his teeth again, making my heart beat faster with every touch.His hands were everywhere, sliding along my waist, fingers pressing into my skin just enough that I knew he wanted me as much as I wanted him. My whole body felt tight, like I was full of electricity and needed him to release it. Liam looked up at me, his eyes dark and hungry, and I felt heat rush through me. I reached down, running my fingers through his hair, and he grinned before kissing me hard on the lips. His tongue slid against mine, greedy and dem
Katrina’s POVI gasped, stumbling back a step. My heart raced in panic and wonder. I expected to feel pain, to burn, but there was nothing—no fear, no sting. The flames were warm, almost gentle, like they belonged to me. My fingers trembled as I turned my hands over, watching the fire follow every small movement I made.Behind me, Liam stood frozen, his breath caught in his throat. I could feel his gaze on me, heavy, reverent. Slowly, I looked over my shoulder. His lips were parted, his chest rising and falling sharply, his silver eyes glowing brighter than I had ever seen them.“Katrina…” he whispered, almost like he didn’t trust his own voice. “It’s you. You’re in control.”His words hit me harder than the flames did. My chest tightened, and tears pricked my eyes because he was right—I was in control. For so long, I had been terrified of these powers, afraid they would consume me or hurt the people I loved. But now… now they felt like they were a part of me.The energy inside me beg
Katrina’s POVAfter what felt like forever of running beside Liam in our wolf forms, my heart still raced as we slowed down and returned toward the cabin. The forest was quiet around us, only the soft rustle of leaves in the wind and the distant call of an owl filling the silence. The moonlight followed us, shining through the branches like it was watching over us. My paws moved in rhythm with his, our bodies brushing every so often as if to remind me that this was real—we were bonded, we were together.When we finally reached the cabin, we shifted back into our human forms. My bones cracked and realigned, fur melting away into skin until I was kneeling on the soft grass, shivering at the sudden cool air against me. My chest rose and fell quickly as I caught my breath, still overwhelmed by what I had just experienced. Liam shifted too, his huge black wolf disappearing and leaving the man I loved, standing tall, powerful, and bare in the moonlight.He immediately moved, grabbing a blan
