LOGINDemon pretends he doesn’t notice the moment shift. This is a lie. He notices everything. He just chooses when to acknowledge it based on how entertaining the fallout might be. Right now, he’s leaning against a tree like a decorative menace, arms crossed, expression bored in the theatrical way that
The mate bond hits like a migraine wrapped in arrogance. I’m halfway through chewing a piece of dried fruit, of questionable origin, courtesy of Demon, when the pressure blooms behind my eyes, sharp and familiar and utterly unwelcome. You will listen to me. I choke, coughing as Raph immediately s
The forest goes quiet in a way that has nothing to do with peace. It’s the kind of quiet that presses against your ears, that makes even breathing feel loud. The birds don’t scatter, they vanish. The wind doesn’t stop; it waits. The land itself draws a line and holds it. That’s when I know he’s he

Shimmering back into my body, I landed on my little island with a soft pop, like the universe had just corked a bottle of mischief. I couldn’t help the smile that tugged at my lips the moment I saw Nathan—my big, bad Alpha reduced to a purring, swishing bundle of fur. He was curled against my chest
The barrier whispered as it opened, like the sigh of a sleeping beast disturbed. I knew its magic, silent, seamless, deadly. Step through uninvited, and you wouldn’t even have time to scream before you became part of the soil. I had spent days circling this place, studying its edges, feeling its pul
Selene’s voice chimed, smug as sin. “Sorry, Titi. I couldn’t let him get away with treating you or me like that. Not again.”What. The. Actual.
