LOGINOLIVIA'S POV
Awkwardness filled the room as Alpha Mateo stood close to the bed and watched me eat.
he wasn't speaking but his harsh gaze made me nervous. I finally dropped the trap and summoned the courage to leave but the minute he stood he blocked my path.
"Let's begin." He muttered oddly calm .
Begin what?
"What's that?" I repeated
"you know nothing about wolf traditions." He uttered in a dry tone and I stared down in shame.
I had no one to teach me and since I was wofless they didn't see it fit to include me in any tradition or ceremony.
My thoughts were cut off as Alpha Mateo bent over and picked me into his arms. I gasped in shock frightened by him.
Before I could ask any Questions he moved. "What are you doing?" I asked in a whisper as he reached for the bathroom door and stepped in.
Is he going to...hell no.
"Get off." He uttered as he dropped me.
So many questions ran through my mind but before I could ask any Alpha Mateo cut me off with his actions.
He turned closed the door behind him and suddenly started taking off his clothes.
"Don't Stare like a duck, we're supposed to share our first bath together, take your clothes off and get into the tub." He said Arrogantly as I stared at him with confusion written all my face.
"We're supposed to ..I should go in there with you.." I kept repeating his words like a foolish person. I don't have the guts for this.
"Yes!" He stated at the same time dragging his trousers down and revealed his erect manhood.
Oh goddess!
I turned my back instantly as I covered my eyes with my palms out of shyness..maybe.
"I..I can't do this, I can't." I stammered biting my lip nervously.
"Its tradition Olivia, unless you want me telling my mother you're not cut out for it." He said and I groaned frustratedly.
I had so much respect for her and she expected so much from me. If I'm going to start acting my role of the Luna, I guess I have to start by following their traditions.
"Okay."
It came with a heavy exhale after much deeps breaths as I reached for the strap of my night gown and slowly dropped it to the ground.
slowly but certainly I finally gave him the view he had been waiting for. The spark in his eyes told me exactly the same thing.
A pervet in Alpha's clothing!
Before he could eye rape Me more, I quickly went towards the large circled tub filled with steamy warm water and red roses. I dipped myself in and my skin immediately responded to the soft tenderness it gave.
He stepped in and I shifted backward giving us a 2 feet distance.
"Come closer." He said but I stayed put. Seeing that I didn't move he moved closer and pulled me to him.
"What?" I asked frowning as I tried breaking free from his hold..
"Hold still!" He almost snapped again as he reached for the yellowish liquid in a can and poured everything on me.
He suddenly began to move his hands around my hair and I got glued to my spot watching him wash my hair with so much focus.
For that moment he was calm. Never uttered a word and just continued to massage my scalp. I was so lost in his eyes I forgot I was supposed to resist him.
the reality of our contract struck me once again causing a shift in my chest. I quickly pushed his hands off and pulled away from his hold..
"There's no Need to act. your mother isn't here." I muttered slowly as I drifted my gaze to anything else but him.
He scoffed and stood leaving the tub and went under the showers. A lump formed in my throat watching him bath all alone.
maybe I was a little bit rude.
He stepped out drenched and picked his towel tying it around his waist. I swallowed hard trying to push down the aroused feeling I was getting starring at his dick itching from the towel.
"Aren't you done?" He asked in his dry tone.
I nodded and stepped out picking the towel and quickly tied it around my chest.
"Use this." He said shoving a perfume bottle into my hand.
"My mother isn't here but she'll be checking for my scent on you." ohhhh that's what the hair wash was for. Getting his scent on me by using his creams and perfume.
I nodded and quickly sprayed the perfume All over my body so I would smell like him. I'm truly amazed by their ideologies and beliefs.
The slam of the door got me jumping in fright as I blinked coming back to reality, Alpha Mateo had left and I didn't even notice.
I dropped his perfume and left, Finding my way to where my clothes were kept.
◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇
"You smell really nice Olivia, I believe the bath ceremony was successful." Luna Diana said with a wide smile as I followed her to where she wanted us to go.
she's been smiling and grinning secretly after she saw Alpha Mateo and I leave the room together.
only God knows what she assume we did.
The cool outside breeze did wonders to my hair as it kept tossing it back and forth causing me to repeatedly push it to the back.
"You know you have a lot of responsibilities now as Luna Olivia, I want you to be conscious of that." she muttered halting in her tracks and faced me.
"I have to live a lie for the next three years right?" I blurted the first thought that crossed my mind.
They made everything on paper and made me sign like I owed it to them to do everything.
"Mateo has a twisted mentality and I've tried to change that but i just—." She groaned spitefully.
"He's complicated I understand but I also have my rights Luna Diana, I only signed because I was desperate but you can't expect me to remain silent knowing that Alpha Mateo is truly the father of my child. He wants me gone but wants to keep our child? I can't accept that." I said desperately holding my stomach protectively.
"Did he say that to you?" She asked surpise all over her face..
"He d—." I stopped as a familiar scent filled my Nostrils suddenly Accompanied with the sudden pull in my chest.
Ory felt it too because she suddenly began to sneer within me, trying to surface.
Instinctively I turned around and the first thing i met were the golden eyes of Alpha Alex.
My knees buckled as my eyes snapped wide with shock. Dozens of emotions bombarding me all at once.
Worse he was coming towards me.

Another chapter dropping tonight. Feel free to add this book to your library so you don't miss out on what's going to happen next.
Author's Note To everyone who read this book with me—thank you. Thank you for sticking with Anaya and Ryker through the chaos, the danger, the realms and entities and everything that tried to keep them apart. Thank you for cheering for Olivia and Mateo, for a love that didn't start easy but became one of the strongest in this whole story. Thank you for falling for Skye and Andrei the way I did, for waiting through every almost-confession with me. This story started as one thing and grew into so much more — a family, really, one I got attached to right alongside you. Writing Kingston and Sofia into the world, watching this whole found family gather around one table by the end, meant more to me than I expected it to. I'm endlessly grateful you chose to spend your time here, in this world, with these characters. Every comment, every read, every moment you stuck around for one more chapter — it mattered. Thank you for the journey. I hope it stays with you the way it's stayed with me.
Chapter 133 - The END Olivia's POVThe rain held off for the funeral, which felt like exactly the kind of small mercy Luna Diana would have arranged herself if she'd had any say in the matter. She'd never been one for dramatics, not even in death, though the entire pack turned out anyway, dressed in black beneath a sky that couldn't quite decide whether to stay grey or clear.I stood near the front with Mateo's hand locked tight in mine, watching them lower his mother into the ground beside the husband she'd lost decades ago, and let myself remember her the way she deserved to be remembered—not as the frail woman who'd spent her last months slower and quieter than any of us had ever known her to be, but as the force she'd been for most of my life.She was the one who found me, after all. Twenty-three years ago, a terrified, humiliated young woman with no idea what came next, and it was Diana who'd sat beside my bed that first night and told me, with a certainty I hadn't earned yet an
Chapter 132Olivia's POVThe house was quiet in that particular way it only got in the late evening, after Kingston had finally been wrestled down for the night and Sofia had gone home with her parents, leaving nothing behind but stray toys scattered across the living room floor and the faint smell of the dinner we'd all shared a few hours earlier.I found Mateo out on the back porch, exactly where he usually ended up these days, a glass of wine forgotten at his elbow, staring out at the darkening yard like it held something worth studying."You're thinking too hard," I said, settling into the chair beside him."Just remembering," he said, not looking away from the yard."Remembering what?"He finally turned to me, and even after all these years, something in his expression still had the power to make my chest go warm—that same steady, quiet affection he'd carried for me since long before either of us had known what to call it."Everything," he said simply. "All of it."I let my head
Chapter 131 Andrei's POV The jazz club Kelly had recommended turned out to be tucked below street level, down a narrow staircase that opened into a dim, smoky room lined with red velvet booths and a small stage where a quartet was already deep into something slow and syrupy by the time we found a table near the back. "This is exactly what I pictured when you said jazz club," Skye said, sliding into the booth beside me instead of across from me, close enough that her shoulder pressed against mine. "Kelly has surprisingly good taste for a man who once set a grill on fire." "Low bar, but I'll allow it." A waiter appeared with two glasses of red wine we hadn't technically ordered yet—apparently the house didn't believe in menus so much as vibes—and we settled back to let the music wash over us, the saxophone bending low and mournful before the whole quartet picked the tempo back up into something brighter. "I used to think places like this were pretentious," Skye admitted, swirling
Chapter 130Andrei's POVThe boat was smaller than I expected—intimate, really, more like a private charter than the crowded tourist cruises we'd passed on our walk along the river that afternoon. Just a handful of other couples scattered along the deck, soft music drifting from somewhere near the bow, the whole vessel gliding slow enough that conversation didn't have to compete with the engine."This is not what I pictured," Skye said, leaning against the railing, the wind catching loose strands of her hair. "I thought it'd be one of those big double-decker things with a tour guide shouting facts through a megaphone.""I did some research," I admitted, coming up beside her. "Wanted something quieter.""You really did plan this trip like a military operation.""I prefer 'thorough.'" I wrapped an arm around her waist as the boat eased further out into the current, the city beginning to catch the last of the light—gold bleeding into the stone facades, the water below turning the color o
Chapter 129Skye's POVSeven months. That's how long it took to get from a flower house confession to standing in front of everyone I loved in a dress my mother cried the entire first time she saw me in.The ceremony itself passed in a blur of golden light and half-formed memories—Andrei's face when I came down the aisle, like he'd forgotten how to breathe. My mother's hand trembling in mine before she passed me off. Sofia, seven months old now and thoroughly unbothered by the significance of the day, gnawing happily on the strap of her tiny flower girl basket instead of throwing petals like she was supposed to."She's supposed to throw them," Chelsea had whispered from the front row, and Kelly had just laughed and said, "She's doing her best," which set off half the guests.By the time Andrei slid the ring onto my finger, I'd stopped trying to hold back tears altogether. Anaya, standing just behind me, squeezed my shoulder the second the officiant pronounced us married, and I turned
