Despite the inner conflicts warring inside of her, she can't deny the growing connection that binds her to each of the brothers.

It was a beautiful gown, made of the finest white silk, woven with silver threads that glittered in the sunlight filtering through the grand hall’s stained-glass windows. On my head, a delicate circlet rested, not heavy with jewels, but elegant and symbolizing my new role.Today, Norman was being crowned King of the whole kingdom, and I, his mate, was being presented as his Queen and Luna. My heart beat a steady rhythm against my ribs, a mixture of nerves, pride, and an overwhelming sense of wonder. Just a few months ago, I was a runt, a troubled past. Now, I stood before thousands, about to be declared Queen. It felt like a dream.The grand hall was packed, a sea of faces stretching back as far as I could see. The air buzzed with excitement, with the low rumble of happy chatter, and the anticipation of the ceremony. HornSide warriors and pack members wh
Riley's POV For a moment, he just stared at me, his eyes wide, unblinking. His jaw dropped slightly. The pain, the remorse, the exhaustion, all seemed to vanish, replaced by pure, utter shock. “Parents?” he whispered, the word barely a breath.I nodded, tears streaming down my face, a shaky smile blooming. “Pups. More than one, he thinks. He said it’s early, but…”“Pups?!” he roared, a genuine, joyful roar this time. He pushed himself up, ignoring his bandages, ignoring the pain, his arms reaching for me. “Riley! Pups! We’re having pups!”He pulled me into a fierce, surprisingly gentle embrace, despite his wounds. I nestled against his chest, feeling the strong beat of his heart, the warmth of his skin. The scent of him, filled my senses, comforting and familiar. This was where I belonged. This was what I had almost lost.He pulled back slightly, his hands cupping my face, his eyes shining with unshed tears of happiness. “A celebration!” he declared, his voice booming, filled with an
Riley's POV Hours passed, or maybe it was only minutes; I lost track. Damon was eventually stabilized, taken to a separate, more secure room. The doctor had been grim but said he would live, if barely. Eventually, the medical room emptied, leaving me alone with the quiet hum of equipment and the lingering scent of blood. The initial shock began to wear off, replaced by a deep, aching despair. I had to talk to Norman. I had to. This couldn't be how things ended. Not after everything. Not when I had such important news.I found him in a smaller, quieter recovery room. He was propped up on his bed, looking pale and drawn, his chest heavily bandaged. His eyes were closed, his breathing shallow. He looked exhausted, perhaps even more exhausted than he had looked when he was bedridden. I stood at the doorway for a long time, my heart pounding, gathering my courage. What do you say to a man who just stabbed his brother because he thought you betrayed him? How do you even begin?I took a d
Riley's POV The air still smelled faintly of smoke and blood, a grim reminder of the chaos that had swept through HornSide. A day had passed already, a long, agonizing day filled with hushed reports and the distant sounds of clean-up. The outlanders, by some miracle, had been pushed back, defeated. Our warriors, though battered and grieving, had held the line. HornSide was safe, for now. But the cost had been heavy.My own body ached with a deep, weary exhaustion, but it was nothing compared to the knot of dread that had tightened in my stomach ever since I’d seen Norman fall.Now, I stood beside Norman’s bed in the medical wing, a cramped, sterile room that smelled of antiseptic and lingering fear. The light was dim, softened by the heavy curtains drawn across the window. My gaze was fixed on his still, pale face. The slow, shallow rise and fall of his chest was the only assurance tha he was alive. That was all that mattered.Dr. Walker, with his tired eyes and steady hands, leaned
Riley's POV With Zoey increasingly absent, drawn to Kirk’s glittering, fake charm, I found myself adrift. The troop was busy, preparing for the upcoming battles, and while I participated in discussions and planning, my 'light duties' meant I wasn’t out in the thick of the physical training. It gav
Riley's POV “Alright, out we go,” Karl grunted, his voice weary but resolute. He helped me down, his grip firm and steady. Vinny, limping slightly but with a relieved grin, was already out, stretching his stiff limbs. Hardin, silent as ever, descended like a shadow, his eyes scanning the pack hous
Riley's POV My eyes fluttered open, struggling against a heavy weight that seemed to press down on my eyelids. My head swam, a thick fog coating my brain. The world was a blur of muted colors and indistinct shapes, swaying gently. A rough vibration hummed beneath me, a constant, low thrum that spo
Riley's POVThe cold night air bit at my exposed skin, but the chill that ran through me wasn't from the weather. It was the thrill of the hunt, the sharp edge of danger that always accompanied a mission like this. Karl’s voice, low and gravelly, cut through the quiet, giving his final instructions
