    JaxonThe invitation to Skye’s bonding ceremony/wedding to Nicolai arrives through Dimitri. I should have seen this coming, some part of me probably did. But my hand still shakes as I take the envelope from him. Inside is a card, formally worded, the kind of thing you send when every detail of an occasion requires perfection. I read the formal part once. Then I find the handwriting at the bottom—Skye's, distinctive, the particular slant of it I know from three years of memos and notes and a divorce petition she signed with the same pen she used to sign our marriage documents.Benji will be there. I'd like you to be there too.I read it three times. Then I call Noah. Because of all the moments I’ve faced in the last few months, if any one of them required the help of my best friend, it’s this one. "What do you want to do?" he asks when I explain the situation.Not you should go. Not it's the right thing. No advice at all. Just—the actual question.The words that want to come out are

    Nicolai The following evening’s topic of conversation is not quite so pleasant as the wedding planning. Because tonight we talk about Jaxon. We’ve put it off as long as we could. Not because either of us has been avoiding it purposely—just because there's been enough to manage that it hasn't risen to the surface yet."He should be there," Skye says. She's not looking at me when she says it. Looking at the planning notes on the table between us. "For Benji. The ceremony is going to be part of what Benji's life looks like, and Jaxon is part of what Benji's life looks like, and—it's the right thing.""I know," I admit. It’s true, but I don’t have to like it. She looks up. "You're not going to argue?""No.""Your wolf is going to argue." She pierces me with a stare that tells me her wolf is looking directly at mine. "My wolf argues about many things," I shrug. "I manage my wolf."She watches me for a moment, not entirely convinced."You're sure?"I think about what it means to have Ja

    NicolaiShe said yes.I've been saying this to myself at irregular intervals for three days. Not because I doubted she would say yes. But since the moment she did, life has taken on this dreamlike quality, all soft and fuzzy around the edges. So it seems the reality of it keeps needing to be confirmed.She said yes. She's wearing the ring. I’m going to sink my teeth into her neck and she's going to be my mate in every sense of the word, in front of everyone who matters, in a ceremony I'm going to make certain sends a message that doesn't require interpretation. She’s mine! I'm a man who controls rooms with his presence and manages an empire and does not, as a rule, allow things to show that aren't meant to be shown. But I have been insufferably happy for three days.And unfortunately, Dimitri has absolutely noticed."You're smiling," he says it like an accusation.We're reviewing shipping manifests. Or I'm supposed to be reviewing shipping manifests. Dimitri has apparently been watch

  • Pursuing My Rejected Luna   Chapter 157

    Skye Despite every instinct we possess, clawing at us to never leave our bed, Woolf family business never sleeps. Nicolai’s phone buzzes on the nightstand and he rolls over with a groan to check it. “I have to go to the office, Moonbeam,” he says regretfully. “You stay in bed and rest. I’ll be back as soon as I can.”He kisses my forehead and tucks the covers around me. I try to burrow in deeper, inhaling the way our scents mingle perfectly. But stronger than everything else is the scent of our lovemaking and that has me squirming and restless, unable to settle down.Giving up on sleep entirely, I check the monitor. It's Jaxon’s morning with Benji and he’s already gotten him up for the day. Relieved of that responsibility, I shower and dress quickly, grab my coffee, and head for the garden.It’s my favorite place to relax on the estate grounds. And this is my favorite time to enjoy its beauty, before anyone else is up. The particular morning light that makes everything look like it'

  • Pursuing My Rejected Luna   Chapter 156

    SkyeI wake up the next morning, Nicolai still wrapped around my back, a possessive hand splayed across my belly, and his semi-hard cock still buried inside me. I stretch gently, trying not to wake him, and I take inventory.Taking stock seems necessary after the drastic ways my life changed yesterday—a methodical, honest, checking what remains and what's different and what my life looks like now that so much is different.First, I'm in Nicolai's room, lying in the arms of my second chance mate, the bond singing quietly but happily between us. My body aches in the best way from the night we spent consummating that bond. And my heart… my heart is so full, so overflowing with love, joy, peace, contentment, need and desire, it could burst.But there’s also the second thing. And it cannot be ignored. The bond with Jaxon is gone.I can tell the way you tell when a sound that was always present has finally stopped. Not by hearing silence—silence is just silence. By remembering its particular

  • Pursuing My Rejected Luna   Chapter 155

    Nicolai“Second chance mate.” Skye whispers, that same wonder from earlier coloring her tone. But there’s a question there too. One she hesitates to voice out loud, but I can see the wheels turning in her mind all the same. “If this is truly a mate bond, why didn’t it happen the moment I saw you after rejecting Jaxon?” She finally asks,“I’m not sure.” I answer honestly. “But I’ve heard some bonds don’t actually sever completely after a rejection. Sometimes it takes time for the last remnants to fade away. Maybe your wolf needed that bit of extra time while you were napping to let it all go, to make way for a new bond.”Skye stares back at me wide-eyed. Neither of us speaks immediately, which is its own kind of acknowledgment. Two people who don't have the reflexive impulse to fill silence letting this particular silence be what it is. A mate bond solidifying between us. Not like she described the bond with Jaxon—I've heard her description of that, the sudden overwhelming snap of so

    JaxonCassandra admits the original test was faked. She'd bribed the lab technician. Not a complex bribe—just money, and enough of it. The technician has since moved abroad, which was part of their deal.She always knew Liam wasn’t mine. Knew since before he was born. Knew when she came back to Iron

    JaxonI'm reviewing boring border reports, trying not to think about Skye, our baby, or basically anything else about my messed up life, when my Beta knocks on the open office door."You have a visitor," Noah says. His expression tells me everything before the words do. Whoever it is, I don’t want t

    SkyeNicolai doesn't want me to see my sister. He says this quietly, his hands still at my waist, his voice controlled. "There's no obligation. I can have her removed."I lean back to look in his eyes and what I find makes my breath catch. There’s an inferno burning in them, promising a fiery death

    SkyeSeven months pregnant, and I've stopped counting the days until I "go back." Back to where, exactly? I’m not sure anymore. I vaguely recall I had a plan for my life once the threat was dealt with, but it all seems so hazy now. Because this is my life now. Living here at Nicolai’s estate. The w
