Jules had attended quite a few parties and balls since they had arrived at the capital, but the royal ball was something else.
He’d never been at the palace before, and the luxury was both overwhelming and humbling. It made Jules acutely aware that they were little more than country bumpkins, only invited because of Liam’s undisputed success as the Diamond of the Season—and because Devlin intended to marry him.
Jules bit the inside of his cheek so hard he tasted blood. Not thinking about it, not thinking about it, not thinking about it.
Fuck, he was terrible at not thinking about it.
He should have stayed home. He should have made up some excuse to skip the ball.
But he was so damn weak. So weak for him. He wanted to be there for Devlin—this was a very important evening for him. Devlin would be declared the heir tonight. Jules had no idea how people would react, so he wanted Devlin to have at least one supporter in the ballroom,

EpilogueThe fallout of their unexpected—and scandalous—engagement hadn’t been as bad as Jules had feared. The gossip was still terrible, of course, and while some media outlets questioned Devlin’s fickle character—because no one actually believed that he’d never been interested in Liam—the juicy scandal had far overshadowed any disgruntlement over Devlin becoming the heir to the throne. Jules was beyond relieved. He could live with the gossip—he wouldn’t have been able to bear making things even harder for Devlin.Then there was Liam, of course. Their first conversation after the ball had been… awkward. Thankfully, Liam wasn’t really angry or all that upset—he still had a legion of suitors—but it had still been a little awkward.“I’m not going to claim it didn’t bruise my ego,” Liam had said with a crooked smile. “It did.

After a few moments, he heard a low growl, and the scent of an alpha suddenly spiked in the room, delicious and overwhelming. It still smelled like Devlin, just much stronger and baser. He must have shifted fully.Jules shivered, stroking his aching cock.There was another low growl and then he felt furry cheeks between his thighs. And then there was a tongue licking his hole, again and again, before pushing into him—Jules cried out, his body arching as he came, just like that, his cock spurting his jizz everywhere. But the tongue didn’t stop: it was absolutely relentless, delving deep into him, deeper and deeper, so damn good and rough, oh fuck, more, more—Jules came again, moaning loudly. Yet somehow it wasn’t enough. He wanted Devlin’s cock. He wanted his knot.“Fuck me,” he demanded breathlessly.The tongue finally stopped torturing him, and Jules nearly sobbed, his hole clenching over nothing.

here comes the second series of rejected lunait is a new story all together. enjoy it too.PrologueThe pastDay 159 after the first New Species were freedJoy tried to relax in the chair but worry over her client made her fidget. She glanced at the clock, noting he was late again. Minutes ticked by while her anger grew. It was the fourth session in a row that 466 had blown off. He did it on purpose. She knew he was going to be irate over what she’d done in retaliation but he’d left her with no choice.The loud sound of a menacing growl startled her. Her gaze flew to the door a second before it was thrown open. 466 hovered in the hallway, his rich brown hair messed up as if he’d dried it upside down with a blow dryer to give it that fullness. Rage showed in his narrowed, dark gaze. She guessed he’d been the source of the noise.He was pushed forward as one of the guards entered the office

The presentNSO Homeland“What is going on?” Joy glanced at the New Species leading her through the building and continued, “I received a call that there was some kind of emergency with someone I counseled in the past. They said it was urgent that I come.”A snarl came from farther down the hallway and made her jump. Her escort bolted away, abandoning her to rush into a room. She hurried forward despite that terrifying sound. She paused at the entrance to the room to stare in absolute horror at the scene playing out.“Hold him down!” The New Species male who had escorted her yelled the order and two more Species males threw their massive bodies over the guy restrained on the hospital bed. An earsplitting howl fractured the room and an arm snapped free from the restraints. The Species clawed at the body over his chest, fisted the material of the other man’s shirt, and tried to toss aside the one attem

“We decided to place him in a cell, no restraints, just bars to keep him contained. We can’t keep asking our males to fight to keep him down. He sure can’t be allowed to run loose around Homeland. We have some human staff and he even sees other male Species as a threat. I’m not willing it to risk it. He could also attack our females. This was a unanimous decision by our people and your human doctors who have flown in to examine him. Our NSO doctors agreed too.”She remembered that New Species always differentiated between themselves and humans. “It was a good call to make, considering what I just saw. He is dangerous.”Tiger lifted a hand and ran it through his hair, a worried look crossing his striking features. “I know it’s a lot to ask but you don’t have to go inside the cell with him. We thought perhaps you could talk to him from outside it. He can’t reach you but he could see and hear you. We’

“You’re the shrink?” The Species scowled when she stopped five feet away.“Yes. I am.”“Come with me. I’m escorting you to your living quarters and then we’ll go over what you’ll need that you didn’t bring. You don’t seem to have any luggage. You’ll need more clothes and personal items.” Her gaze flicked to where Moon slept. “I hope you can fix his head.”“Me too,” Joy admitted honestly. “I wasn’t aware this was going to be a long stay. I have one spare set of clothes in my car if you can get someone to retrieve them.”“We can do that and we can order whatever else you need through Homeland.” The woman evaluated her. “It may take a day or two to get clothes that fit. I apologize.”“That’s fine.” Joy wasn’t worried about how she looked. Her gaze lingered on Moon. He was all that matte

He sank to his knees as he calmed. It gave Joy hope that some part of him did remember their sessions and he was on a slow road to recovery.She couldn’t stand to see him so changed. It was a little petty, she admitted that, but it was upsetting that she’d done the hardest thing of her life by walking away from him only for him to end up locked inside a cell. Regret tore at her as she wondered if somehow things might have been different if she’d thrown ethics out the window, broken all the rules, and fought to remain a part of his life.Don’t do this, she ordered herself. She knew better than to play the “what-if” game. Reality was right in front of her. Someone had done something horrific to the man she loved and all she could do was try to help him recover.Dr. Treadmont was an asshole who wouldn’t listen to reason.
