LOGINI didn’t let it show in my expression, but the truth was that I was a little nervous. Even though Damien was the main investor in my business, he had never once asked to truly see it, not like this at least.He had visited before in the past, but this was different. It felt completely intentional. And deep down, I knew the reason why he was doing this. He was not asking to be in the warehouse to sight see, no, he was doing this because he wanted to be by my side.That thought alone was enough to send heat rushing to my cheeks. I tried to hide my blush as I slid into the backseat of the car while hoping that I could somehow calm down the fluttering in my chest.Damien followed right behind me, and his sheer presence filled the space effortlessly. Joe, who was already in the driver’s seat, turned to face me with raised brows,“To the warehouse,” I directed as my gaze flickered briefly to meet his.He paused, it was just for a second, but I spotted it. There was clear surprise in his eye
Nyssa’s POV:For the first time in a long time, I woke up slowly and gently, not with a jolt or panic clawing at my chest like I used to in my past life, but with wide smiles on my face.For a few seconds after I had regained consciousness, all I did was lay there on the large queen-sized bed and stare up at the unfamiliar ceiling. My mind was still caught in the boundary between wakefulness and being wide awake. The room I was in was soft, and warm sunlight was already filtering through the curtains, which immediately told me that it was morning.I smiled wider as the memories of the previous night rushed back all at once. From the proposal beside the Moon Vine, to the cheers, the rings and the proclamation Damien had made to the entire pack. My lips curved into a slow smile as I lifted my hand and stared at the ring resting on my finger.The metal gleamed as it caught the morning light and its steady weight was a reminder to me that none of what had happened last night was false. It
Adrian’s POV:Adrian paced back and forth around his estate. He did it again and again, and every time he did, the polished marble floors reflected his restless movements back at him like a mirror whose sole purpose was to mock him.His hands were clenched behind his back, his jaws were tight, and his eyes were dark with something far deeper than irritation; rage. This was not the fleeting kind, no, this was the kind that burned hot and refused to die, no matter how much he tried to quench it.The rage had been building up within him since the ball, since he saw her, Nyssa, claiming another alpha as her mate.Adrian’s lips curled at the thought, a low, humorless chuckle slipping out of him as he dragged a hand through his hair.“She said yes,” he muttered under his breath, disbelief still laced in his tone even after all this time, “To him, in front of the entire pack, in front of the werewolf world.”That was not just a disrespect to his name, it was a humiliation directed at him. Mo
The world didn’t just react to his words, it exploded. Cheers roared through the clearing like a dam bursting loose. Wolves howled into the night sky, their voices rising together in a powerful, primal chorus that sent chills racing down my spine.Applause immediately followed after, and they echoed far through the estate. I froze completely, for a couple of seconds, I was too stunned and overwhelmed to react, then, I smiled.I could not help it. All of this was real, and it was needed. Damien’s hand found mine and I turned to look at him. His gaze was intense enough to send heat rushing through my cheeks. Pride shone clearly in his eyes, but beneath the pride was something both softer and warmer.“You’re doing well,” he murmured quietly as he leaned closer, so I would be the only one able to hear him.I let out a small breathy laugh, “I’m trying, but I do feel like I’m about to pass out.”He smirked, “You are incredibly strong, Nyssa.” he answered, “I know you won’t.”“That's very re
For a very long moment, I could not breathe. Everything around me had long since faded into a blur, from the towering moon vine, to even the glow of the moon's light. All I could see or feel was him, on one knee, while holding out a ring that carried more weight than anything else I had been given in both this life and last.My heart pounded so loudly in my chest that I was sure he could hear it. This was all real, it wasn’t calculated or forced, it was just him, choosing me. From the corner of my eye, I noticed wolves emerging from the shadows.Dozens of them, they kept their distance, but I could tell from their gazes that they were respectful and hopeful. Like they already knew what this moment meant to both of us.My breath hitched as I realized that this was not just about me anymore. This was about them, my gaze returned to Damien.And something inside me shifted and softened completely. I looked into his eyes as I saw clear as day, his love for me. There were no hidden agendas b
My fingers slipped into his the moment he extended his hand towards me. The moment we touched, all my nerves immediately calmed down, from my nerves to all the weight I felt in my heart, and even to the thrilling realization of what my future was about to be.All of those emotions and thoughts settled into something that was far warmer and steadier. Damien’s thumb brushed lightly against the back of my hand as he turned slightly and began to guide me deeper into his home,“Come,” he said softly.And with that single word, I was led into his world.The moment Damien made sure I was ready, he immediately started the introductions. Up close, the elders were far more imposing than they seemed when I was looking at them from afar. All of them stared at me with sharp, assessing gazes. Initially, I thought they didn’t like me, but when I moved past their sharp gazes, I realized that beneath them was approval and respect.Damien cleared his throat, grabbed my hand tighter and began to introdu
