Vienna's POV: I could hardly believe my eyes.Was this really my father, Orion Belmont, who was crying over how much he loved me? But no matter how many times I blinked to dispel the illusion or hallucination– whatever it was– he was still here, standing with his side profile towards me and tears glistening in his eyes and speaking further. “After Ellora died, I couldn’t bear to face my little girl. Every time I looked at you, Vienna, I was reminded of her. It hurt too much… and I felt guilty to some extent, like I had failed you both. When I married Tessa, I thought… I thought you would have a new mother to look after you, and I could finally grieve. But I wish! I wish I knew back then, that I would only end up isolating you further.”“Dad…”I could feel a startled gasp escape my throat, and my eyes followed the Adam's apple bobbing in his throat before he swallowed the emotions and spoke his next words. Words that I had imagined him saying at least a hundred times, when I was yo
Vienna's POV: I couldn’t believe the words coming out of my mouth. I was the one saying all these words, which were completely against my wish… the words which were against my might.Was I really asking him to leave like this, without even the dignity of a proper explanation? And the reason! The reason behind it was my father… the same father who had never given me the love I deserved, the affection which was my right, the safety that my soul had craved for. The protection that I had always dreamt of. And now that I am finally getting the hope of getting all of these from somewhere I am the one who is asking him to leave, with my own mouth… without any force… just because of the sudden rush of emotions I was currently feeling.The expression had scribbled the verdict of hurt all across his face, and it was unbearable to me… making me feel like my guilt was an alien soul. Alive and breathing inside me, clawing me from within. And so, I did the cowardly thing and trained my gaze a
Vienna's POV: I didn't get to hear what he was going to say, or when exactly he would be coming to get me. Before he could finish, Tessa marched over, screeching like a banshee once again and making me wonder how she hadn't screamed herself hoarse yet. “You pest! Are you determined to suck our blood dry!" My startled eyes found Kai, just as she shoved him away from me using both her hands, and positioning herself between us like a guard dog on steroids. “I knew this girl was shameless, but you are no less! Tell me, what more do you want to hear? She said she is not going anywhere with you! Are you deaf, or just plain stupid?” If I was expecting to see anger or aggression lingering around his expressions, there was nothing as such. In fact, he barely even reacted at first. Then, taking his own sweet time, he cocked an eyebrow, his body language eerily calm. “I highly recommend you keep your aggression reserved for those who tolerate it willingly. And in fact, con
Vienna's POV: With Kai gone, I slowly felt the realization sinking in, about all that had happened in the span of less than an hour. I felt like a storm had just passed over my life, turning everything on its head and spitting me out of the eye of the storm, dazed and disoriented. My father… I remembered with a start, and a sudden jolt of urgency pushed me into action. I made my way towards my father, feeling like I was wading against thick currents, instead of walking on the floor of my house. But I forced myself to walk until I was standing in front of him; where he sat slumped on the couch, his head bowed and shoulders slumped, his face buried in his hands… looking like a defeated man. Slowly, I reached out and awkwardly rested my hand on his arm, hoping to offer some comfort. “Dad… I'm sorry…” My throat had suddenly become so tight that the words had to be squeezed out one by one. I lowered myself to my knees in front of him, speaking sincerely. “I’m sorry for not
Kai’s POV: I reached home, restless and on edge. I was too disturbed to even think about anything, and any time I tried, the haunting image of Vienna’s face appeared in front of me again. Time and again, my mind flashed back to the tears in her eyes, the tremble in her voice as she asked me to leave, the look of disgust in her stepmother and stepsister’s eyes… all those thoughts, refusing to be silenced. Not to mention the fact that my wolf was on the verge of rebellion, for abandoning our mate there. How could anyone be so heartless towards that innocent soul? And as for her father, I didn’t trust him for a second. Although he had said all those words to show how hurt he was by the possibility of her leaving, and said all the right things to prove his regret over not having a good relationship with her, for not showing how much he loved her… I could smell some bullshit. His regret was too sudden to be genuine, because how could a father watch his daughter get taunted and phys
Kai's POV:“To hell with that!” I gritted out through my teeth, finding no other suitable place for my rage. I had come here to find some clarity, but so far, Fynn’s presence and horrible suggestions were just making the mist of confusion and anger grow denser. I could see very well that Fynn was just as worried about Vienna… maybe even more than I was. But again! My twin’s stubbornness was overriding his sensibility, and I wished I could have told him earlier, how much he really sucked at acting. “Will you stop acting this way, how long are you planning to be mad at us for that?! She is our mate, for fuck’s sake–”“I wouldn’t say that.”Fynn’s jaw tightened as he said coldly. “Not when she hasn’t accepted me as her mate in front of the pack members and with Moon Goddess as our witness. Until then, she has at least accepted or acknowledged you as her mate, so that's good! I'm happy for you.”I growled, the sound rumbling deep in my chest. “What bullshit! You know the Mating Cer
Vienna's POV: I tossed and turned in my bed, trying to put pressure on my stomach, desperate to ease the sharp, stabbing pain. My sleep-addled brain was struggling to push past the discomfort, but it was useless. Even after fifteen minutes of this, I wasn't feeling any better; nor could I succumb to the call of sleep, no matter how heavy and droopy my eyelids were getting. Finally, I gave up and stumbled out of bed, clutching my stomach with both hands. My head was dizzy, and the realization hit me like a brick: it was already a new morning, which meant an entire day had passed, without anyone entering my room or bringing me any food. I reached out hesitantly and turned the latch of the door. Thankfully, it was unlocked, and I let out a shaky breath. Hopefully, that meant I could sneak down to the kitchen unnoticed. But as I crossed the hallway and turned to head down the stairs, I felt a shove on my shoulder, causing me to trip. I tumbled forward, the hard edge of each step
Vienna’s POV: Tessa’s anger melted into doting affection within a matter of seconds. “You’re right, my darling. What would I do without you, she would have boiled away all my blood with her presence alone, not to forget, how ill mannered she really is!” Gemini smiled brightly. “But I'm here, aren't I? So forget about her! It’s Sunday and I have plans to go on a lunch date with Asher, so I wanna have a light breakfast. Whatever you have made, leave that aside. I need something light.” "Of course, love. What exactly do you feel like eating? Tell me, and I’ll make it for you. Anything you want, all you have to do is speak!” “Um… not much, maybe a few quesadillas, some waffles… just a few though, not too many! Some fresh apple juice, and two omelets. That should be enough." Tessa’s smile widened. “Oh, lovely! I have already prepared the quesadillas, and I’ll whip up everything else within minutes. Just come along with me…” I bit my cheek to stop the snarky laugh climbing up m
Vienna's POV:“Just stay still for a moment, baby!”I murmured, humming softly to myself under my breath as I brushed Zeke’s hair into a side part. He made a silly face in the mirror and stuck out his tongue, wiggling his head so that my careful work was instantly unraveled and.“Zeke…” I warned, biting back a smile at his cute antics.“But Mama, it tickles…”He giggled, scrambling off the stool before I could launch a second attack on his head with the brush.He was wearing his new blue shirt, buttoned all the way up and his favorite black sneakers that lit up when he walked. His backpack looked huge on his small back, but he wore it with pride, like he was off to conquer the world.Today was his first full day of preschool. I should have been nervous, but the past few days had been peaceful enough that it felt like the world had given us permission to breathe and relax. My heat had finally passed, and we had picked up Zeke from Lola's house on the way back to Azuremist pack. It s

Fynn’s POV: She was still shaking when I lifted her off Kai’s cock. His hands lingered on her hips, holding her like he couldn’t quite let go, while her head lolled forward, cheek brushing his chest. Her thighs were soaked, trembling, and my heart squeezed at the sight of her. But I also knew that at any moment, this wild little cat was going to wake up with her desire on fire, again. I guided her gently to the bed, laying her on her back between us. Her lips were bruised with kisses, her eyes glassy with heat. But she still reached for me, her fingers curling weakly around my wrist like she was starving for more. “Fynn,” she whispered. “I’ve got you,” I murmured, brushing her hair back from her face. “You want more?” She nodded, just once. “Need you.” Gods. My cock throbbed at the way she said it. Like I was her air– the only thing connecting her to reality. I knelt between her legs, watching her body clench in anticipation. Kai leaned over her, his hand trailing up her s
Fynn's POV:Kai’s voice sent a fresh shiver through her. Her head turned toward him, lips parted, eyes still heavy-lidded from release.I didn’t move away. I wasn’t done watching her like this—undone and radiant and still so desperately needy.Kai rose behind her, his body a shadow of heat and muscle as he knelt on the bed. “That was a beautiful sight,” he murmured, leaning down to brush his lips over her temple. “But I think she’s still hungry.”“She is,” I confirmed, my fingers still stroking gently between her thighs. “Aren’t you, baby?”Vienna’s soft gasp was answer enough. Her hips rolled into my hand, already greedy for more.Kai reached around her, cupping one breast in his palm while the other slid beneath the sheets to join mine between her legs. His fingers found hers wet and open, and he exhaled a sound between a groan and a laugh.“So wet. So ready.” He licked at her ear, his voice a low growl. “You don’t know what you do to us, do you?”She moaned, caught between our hand
Vienna's POV:The morning light slid through the curtains in soft golden beams, brushing over tangled limbs and tousled hair. My body ached in the best possible way—used, loved, worshiped. Between Kai’s strong arms and Fynn’s warmth pressed against my back, I could’ve stayed like that forever.But the knocking at the door said otherwise.Kai stirred first, blinking at the sound. “Shit,” he murmured, voice hoarse. “That’s the Healer. I asked her to check on you, just in case.”I blinked, sitting up slowly. “You… what?”Fynn groaned, hiding his face in my shoulder. “Let her in. You need to be looked at after… all that.”I shot them both a look, cheeks flushed with leftover arousal and sleep. “I’m not that fragile.”Kai chuckled. “No, baby, but you are ours. And last night wasn’t exactly tame.”The knocking came again, followed by a soft voice. “Alpha Kai? Fynn? I brought the tonics.”Kai pulled on a pair of sweats and opened the door a crack. “She’s up. You can come in.”Healer Lys step
Vienna's POV:The cabin was quiet… thick with the scent of sex, sweat, and pine. The air was cool against my bare skin, but I was warm between them. Wrapped in the heat of Kai behind me, and Fynn’s arm draped across my waist, I’d fallen asleep with their seed still pulsing inside me, every nerve in my body wrecked and humming.I didn’t remember drifting off. I only remembered the way they had taken me—together, possessive and tender, fucking me through the peak of my heat until I couldn’t speak, couldn’t breathe, couldn’t do anything but cry their names.But now… I was awake.My body throbbed with lazy, low want. Not urgent, not desperate like before—but soft and sweet and deep. The kind of need that curled between my thighs and whispered for more. A different kind of hunger.I blinked in the dim glow of the moonlight slipping through the cabin windows. Everything looked hazy and silver, glowing around the edges. I felt their bodies pressed to mine—Kai’s chest firm against my back, hi
Kai's POV:Fynn rose from between her thighs, lips glistening, eyes black with need. His chest heaved, his shirt already clinging to his skin, and he looked at her like he might lose control if I didn’t act fast.“She’s ready,” he said roughly, voice frayed with restraint. “Fuck, she’s perfect.”Vienna reached for both of us, her hands trembling. “Please,” she whispered. “Don’t make me wait. I want to feel you both.”We didn’t need more encouragement.I lifted her easily, wrapping an arm under her thighs as Fynn stripped her dress completely off her body. Ribbons fluttered to the floor, the last delicate bindings coming undone. She was naked now, bared completely to the firelight, to us, her skin glowing, her scent rich and wild in the air.I lay her down on the bed gently, brushing her hair from her flushed face as Fynn climbed onto the mattress beside her. He kissed her first, slow and deep, and I took my time undressing behind them—pulling off my shirt, undoing my pants, my cock al
Kai's POV:The moon was a white ghost above the trees, barely visible through the gauzy veil of clouds. Inside the cabin, however, everything was saturated in heat.Her scent was everywhere.It clung to the floorboards, soaked the sheets, fogged the windows. Sweet and thick, it hit the back of my throat with every breath and made my skin feel too tight for my body. Vienna was curled in the center of the bed—naked, glowing with sweat and heat, the curve of her hip peeking from beneath a soft throw Fynn had draped over her an hour ago, when she’d finally collapsed between us in a haze of satisfied whimpers.But now she stirred. The sound was barely more than a breath, but my body answered instantly, blood roaring.Her legs shifted, a slow rub of thighs that parted just enough to catch my attention.A low sound rumbled in my chest. Not quite a growl. Not quite speech.Fynn stirred beside me, catching the same scent. She was slick again, her body coaxing us back, her need like a siren son
Fynn's POV:The day had been spent in attempts to keep ourselves occupied with hunting, but the moment I reached the cabin, all of it started to seem like it wasn't going to help her anymore. I could smell her before I even stepped out of the Jeep. Sweet, spiced, and fucking dangerous. Vienna in heat was a whole different creature. She was already inside, Kai had brought her ahead of me, carried her into the cabin like a prince carrying his bride to the bedchamber. We had brought her to this cabin for a reason. No distractions. No interruptions. Just her, her needs… and us. I closed the car door and inhaled again, my cock already hardening against my jeans. She must be soaked. Her scent was thick and heavy in the air—feral, needy, addictive. I stepped inside and locked the door behind me. The fire was already lit, casting amber shadows over the walls and warming the cabin to a gentle, comforting heat. But it wasn’t the fire that pulled me. It was her. She was curled up o
