MasukNovaI changed my outfit four times.That was embarrassing enough on its own but what made it worse was that Aria was sitting on the bed watching me with her big curious eyes like she was thoroughly entertained by the whole performance."Don't judge me." I told her and she blinked."I know." I sighed, holding up two dresses. "The blue or the green?" I asked. She reached out and grabbed the edge of the green one with her small fist."Green it is." I said.I was still doing up the zip when I heard the knock at the door. My stomach immediately did something unhelpful. It churned unsure whether it was Katy or Elias knocking. "Coming!" I called, scooping Aria up onto my hip and carrying her to the door.Katy was standing on the other side, sunglasses pushed up on her head and a tote bag over one shoulder.She had a bright expression on her face that told me she was entirely too pleased about this situation."Hand her over." She said immediately, reaching for Aria.No greetings, no nothin
Celeste povThat was meant to break the silence that was starting to build up and liven the mood. "The doctors are pleased." He said. "I'm getting there." He paused. "How are you settling in at the pack house?" He asked in turn. I had called to inform him that I was absorbed in another pack after he kept insisting I come back home. I didn't want to come back here in this very same pack and come across Jerald. Even after trying to avoid him, I still ran into him the other day. Good thing Victor was there with me or things would have ended up badly. "Well." I said. "It’s better than I expected."He nodded slowly. "Good. That's good."Another silence passed then my father shifted in his chair and looked at Victor directly."I owe you an apology." He said and my heart fluttered. Owing him an apology meant he acknowledged his mistakes and was not holding the past against Victor. Not like he needed to since he was the one in the wrong. Victor's expression didn't change. He just liste
celeste povIt's another day to feel overwhelmed and afraid. Victor and I are going to see my parents for the first time together. Although I mentioned it to my father that I found my mate, I didn't tell him who and after what happened between us all in the past, I don't know how my father is going to take it. Victor is driving the car with me seated next to him. His hand is tightly clasped with mine. " Are you afraid?" He asked, giving me a quick glance before his gaze returned to the road. Am I afraid? Of course I am. After all, Victor is Lucian's beta and the one who had my father ' punished' after we tried to harm Katy. Although Katy and my father have patched things up, I don't know if he still resents Victor and Lucian. I mean, he should not, right? After all, we were the ones in the wrong. " A little." I confessed. " Liar." Victor chuckled. " I can feel you trembling." He pointed out. " Okay. I am scared. Do you think my father will have an issue with us being mated?
Celeste povThe morning light filtered through the curtains, casting a warm glow over the room. I woke up to the feel of Victor's arms wrapped around me, his steady breathing against my neck.A smile played on my lips as I remembered the night before…the intensity of our connection and the way he had claimed me, body and soul.I turned in his arms, my gaze roaming over his sleeping face. He looked so peaceful and so vulnerable.It was a stark contrast to the powerful Beta he was during the day and of course, the passionate lover he was last night.I couldn't resist the urge to trace the line of his jaw, my fingers lingering on the soft bristle of his morning stubble.He stirred awake, his eyes fluttering open. A slow, lazy smile spread across his face as he saw me."Good morning," he greeted, his voice husky with sleep."Good morning," I replied, my heart fluttering.He leaned in and kissed me.It was a soft, lingering kiss that held the promise of more to come."How did you sleep?" h
CelesteI am doing this. We are doing this. That's all I can think as Victor's hands trail my body, his lips locked with mine in a passionate kiss. He shoved my bathrobe away, exposing me to his hungry eyes. I threw my head back as Victor's skilled tongue swirled over my perky nipple, licking, tasting. He then bit down just enough for me to feel a sharp pain, followed by a warm pleasure. I cried out and thrust my chest out even more, encouraging him to take as much of me into his mouth as he could. I grabbed his head, ran my fingers through his hair and pulled him into me. I needed him.tI wanted him. He had been teasing me and I was starting to feel frustrated.His hands on my body served to keep me from losing my mind from all the pleasurable torture he had been inflicting on my poor, little body. I could barely breathe. My pussy throbbed and ached. It felt like it was pulsing. I needed him so badly."Victor...please." I croaked out, begging. I didn't even know what I was exactl
Victor POV " No one has ever done that for me before." Celeste's words cut me deep. I could not control the ache that spread through my heart when I heard that.Just what has my mate gone through? How was her childhood? One thing I know and can tell so far, it wasn't smooth. I can't help but wish there's a way I could erase all the past pain. Maybe that's why she turned into the person she was, always competing and trying to put others down." You have me now. Forget about the past and let's live the moment and the future the moon Goddess has planned for us."I take her face into my hands, my fingers tracing the delicate bones of her jaw. I want to kiss her, to erase the memory of Jerald's ugly words with the touch of my lips.But I hold back. This is not the right time. This is not the right place. She's been through a lot tonight, and the last thing I want is to push her." Let's get you home," I say, my voice soft.She nods, her eyes never leaving mine. I can see the trust in th

Katy The crowd went silent, everyone turning to stare at her.Lucian tensed beside me, ready to intervene but I placed my hand on his arm."Let me handle this," I said quietly.He looked at me, surprised, then nodded and stepped back.I just promised to be the Luna they needed so how could I accep
KatyI chuckled as Lucian dragged me through the crowd and opened the door for me. He took the wheel and we zoomed off, leaving the crowd still cheering. Inside the car, the air thickened and became heavy and electric, making it hard to breathe.I was still in those ridiculous shorts that barely
KatyI was still trembling from the aftershocks when Lucian pulled back, his eyes burning with hunger that told me he was nowhere near done with me."Get in the back seat," he commanded, his voice rough and authoritative.My legs were shaking so badly I wasn't sure I could move, but something in hi
