Tonight, it was just us—Darius and me, tangled in the heat of our bond, the air thick with the scent of pine and earth and him. His lips moved against mine, slow and deliberate, a kiss that felt like a claim and a promise all at once. My hands found his shoulders, fingers digging into the hard muscle there, grounding myself in the reality of him. My mate. My alpha. Mine.

His hand slid further beneath my shirt, his calloused fingers tracing patterns across my ribs, sparking heat that bloomed deep in my core. I arched into his touch, a soft moan escaping me as his lips left mine to trail along my jaw, down the sensitive column of my neck. The mark he’d given me two nights ago pulsed under his breath, a living reminder of our bond, and every brush of his lips against it sent shivers racing through me, electric and overwhelming.“Darius,” I whispered, my voice trembling with the weight of what I felt—the love, the need, the raw instinct of our wolves calling to each other.

    Once the giggles subsided, Diva leaned back on her elbows and sighed contentedly. "Okay, so spill the tea. How’s the infamous Alpha Black in bed?"I groaned and grabbed a pillow to hide my face. "Absolutely not."⁹"Oh come on!" Dianne whined, nudging me with her foot. "We’re not asking for a play-by-play. Just give us something!"I peeked over the pillow. "Let’s just say... he lives up to the title."They squealed like teenagers, and Diva clutched her chest. "Blessed by the moon herself. I knew it."Dianne nodded sagely. "I mean, the man walks like he owns the wind. I’d be more surprised if he wasn’t good."Diva's face suddenly lit up. "Speaking of mates... I found mine.""What?!" I sat up straight, pillow forgotten.She nodded, her cheeks flushing. "Yeah. Just before the last patrol rotation. He’s one of the warriors from the south ridge. Name’s Kellan. Tall, dark, grumpy."Dianne snorted. "You’re into grumps.""No! Okay... maybe. A little," Diva admitted with a grin."What about yo

    I didn’t hear Darius come in. I only knew he was there when strong arms wrapped around me from behind, pulling me into his chest. His warmth, his scent—earthy and grounding—quieted the storm in my head.He pressed a kiss to my neck, and I exhaled softly."Don’t think too hard," he murmured, lips brushing my skin. "We’re going to get through this. Together."I turned in his arms, eyes locking with his. I couldn’t find the words, so I just nodded. That seemed to be enough for him.After a pause, he said, "The place on the map—we're tracing it tomorrow. Our scouts are preparing already. And as much as I’d rather keep you behind these walls, you need to come with us."My breath caught. Not from fear. From the realization that he wasn’t trying to shield me anymore.I nodded again, more firmly this time. "I wasn’t planning to stay back. I’m coming, whether you like it or not."He grinned, the sharp kind that tugged at his dimples. "I figured. Besides, you’d definitely have my head if I left

    “Kasamaan.”Draco repeated the name, tasting it on his tongue like he wasn’t sure he heard it right the first time. The entire room was holding its breath.“That can’t be,” he said finally, voice low. “Kasamaan is dead.”He looked around the room as if hoping someone would agree with him, but the silence only made his statement feel thinner, more uncertain.“Are you sure?” Darius asked—not accusing, not skeptical. Just quiet. Measured.“No one’s heard from him since the fall of Iron Fang,” Draco replied. “Their entire territory was razed. The Alpha—Hunter—he was killed in the final siege.”My blood ran cold.Hunter. That name again. Draco continued, his brow furrowed. “His Luna, was slain too. Along with their child. The corpses were... hard to identify. The battle was brutal. But the death toll matched the number of their leadership. Everyone assumed they all died in the fire. And Kasamaan? He vanished without a trace.”Draco turned to me now. “Where did you hear that name?”Before

    Without exchanging pleasantries or wasting time on diplomacy, we turned and headed toward the pack house. His beta pulled the car forward into the parking lot while the rest of us walked briskly up the steps and through the main door. Inside, the place was mostly empty. The clatter of plates and soft murmurs of voices filtered from the dining hall. Most of the pack must have been at breakfast by now.But none of us turned toward food.Instead, we made a beeline for Darius’s office. Once inside, the door shut behind us with a heavy click. I sat beside Darius, with Marcus standing at the window like a silent sentinel. Across from us, Draco and his beta took their seats, tension settling into the room like a storm cloud.Draco wasted no time.“We’ve come across a clue,” he began. “Regarding your mother and sister.”My breath caught. I exchanged a glance with Darius, then looked back at Draco.“Where?” I asked, my voice sharp with urgency.Draco cleared his throat. "The day you visited Si

    We got to the border just as the wind shifted, thick with tension and the scent of something dark—unfamiliar, yet vaguely recognizable. There, standing calmly between two of our warriors, was a woman I had never seen before in my life. And yet, somehow, her aura felt... familiar. Disturbingly so.She didn’t look like me. Not even close. Her skin was pale, almost grayish under the forest shadows. Her eyes, a strange smoky color, gleamed with something unreadable. Her build was lean, predatory. So when one of the warriors had said she looked exactly like me? I’d assumed some kind of trick or illusion. But now that I stood a few feet away from her, I realized it wasn’t about physical appearance. Her energy was eerily similar to mine—twisted, darkened, but familiar enough to make the hairs on my arms rise.I glanced at Darius beside me. He said nothing, his face locked in that unreadable expression he wore when he was working through ten different instincts at once. But the slight squeeze
