LOGIN“You planned everything. Vesper & Rowe. The appraiser. Even the registrar.” Azriel caught my waist when I tried to retreat and pulled me against him. "Of course I did, wifey." "You left me no choice." "That was the point." His olive eyes held no remorse. "I destroyed every path leading back to him until the only one left led to me." "And you aren't even sorry. You, bastard!" Azriel lowered his lips beside my ear. "I'm only sorry I didn't take you from him sooner." --- Maquia Fairmont, heiress of the Silverpine Pack, spent six years preparing to become Redfang's Luna, only to discover that her engagement ring was counterfeit and the authentic Luna Ring was on her sister's finger. When Caelan plans to replace her publicly during their mating ceremony, Maquia strikes first by marrying his greatest enemy, Azriel Castellane, Alpha of the Nightfall Pack. She offers Azriel her hand, Silverpine's alliance, and the pleasure of watching Caelan lose everything. Azriel agrees on one condition: their marriage will be real and permanent. But Maquia soon discovers that their sudden marriage was only sudden to her. Azriel knew about Caelan's betrayal, arranged their meeting at the jewelry boutique, and prepared everything before she ever approached him. Now, Maquia must decide whether she can trust the possessive husband who manipulated her into freedom and has no intention of ever letting her go.

One hand settled near the restraints at his belt while the other reached toward Mercer's shoulder without touching him.Evelina's fingers tightened around mine. Her fear entered the room before anyone spoke again. It sharpened the frantic rhythm of the monitor beside her bed and turned each breath into something shallow enough to hurt.I stepped between my sister and the doorway. "Evelina, look at me."Her gaze remained fixed over my shoulder. "He was there," she repeated. "I saw him."Mercer's expression changed by less than a breath. The concern arranged across his features did not disappear, but something beneath it became watchful. "She's confused," he said. "Whatever medication they have given her—""Do not answer for her," I said.The Council commander entered behind him. At once, Azriel shifted to my right, placing himself close enough to intervene w
"You could have warned me.""You invited me into the bath.""That was not permission to expose yourself without notice.""Wifey, you have already seen every part of me.""That does not mean I require another presentation."His amusement moved closer. "You were considerably less shy last night.""I was distracted.""Your mouth appeared remarkably focused."Heat climbed from my throat into my face. "Finish that thought, and you'll be bathing alone."
Sleeping inside Azriel's arms did not mean either of us remained asleep.Sometime after midnight, I woke to his mouth moving along my shoulder and his hand spread across my waist. The second time began slowly, with drowsy kisses and whispered questions against my skin. The third did not.After that, the hours dissolved into warm sheets, tangled limbs, and the steady sound of my name in his voice. I stopped trying to determine where one moment ended and another began. There was only Azriel beneath my hands, the black diamond still around my finger, and the certainty that every time I reached for him, he reached back.By dawn, even my wolf had abandoned me to exhaustion.I lay across Azriel's chest with one leg trapped between his and my cheek resting over his heart. His skin remained warm beneath me. Each slow rise of his breathing lifted my head before lowering it again.Azriel, however, remained offensively awake.One arm curved around my back while his fingers traced idle paths alon
The moment I clung my hands around his neck, Azriel didn't hesitate to lift me and make my legs wrap around his waist. A soft, approving moan escaped me as I felt his smile from the way I responded. My fingers tangled into the damp hair at the nape of his neck. He carried me to the bed.My silk robe parted as my back met the cool sheets. I pulled him closer. He settled over me, bracing himself above me. I didn't give him a chance to move. I lifted my head to continue what I started."I am never letting you leave my side again," I murmured."It would be my honor, wifey."He captured my lips again. This time, it was covered with pure hunger as if we hadn't seen each other for years when we had been with each other for hours. I matched his intensity, eager to show that I desired him just as deeply as he desired me.Our tongues dwelled against each other while his hands were impatiently removing my robe. As he was busy touching me, my hand instinctively reached for the recent scar he had,
