MasukReina's POVThe moment Damon’s message flashed on my screen, I shifted into work mode. It had been over a month since I’d touched my laptop. I began by installing a custom recognition software I’d developed, needing its specific algorithms to bypass the standard filters. Once the installation bar hit 100%, I fed the image of the man with the burn scar into the system and let it search through the national databases.Lines of code blurred past as the software cross-referenced the image against millions of public and private records. Minutes felt like hours until a match was found.I leaned in, clicking on the profile that had been flagged. The file was heavily encrypted and buried under layers of digital "red tape." As I bypassed the final security wall, the truth became clear. This man had officially been declared deceased three years ago, but the digital trail told a different story."He didn't just disappear," I whispered to the empty room, my fingers flying across the keys to tr
Third Person's POV "Angus, what are we doing in this empty building?" Damon asked, his eyes scanning the incomplete structure of the floor.The Alpha Prince didn't answer immediately. Instead, he picked up a pair of binoculars and gestured for Damon to look through them. "The rogue land is completely visible from this vantage point. Kayden and Oliver will stay here to provide overwatch and keep an eye on our surroundings. You and I will move into the rogue town on foot," Angus explained the plan. Damon lifted the binoculars to his eyes. Through the high-powered lenses, the lawless sprawl of the rogue lands came into sharp focus, the dilapidated structures and narrow, winding alleys of the town lay exposed."Your Highness, let's change the plan," Damon stated, lowering the binoculars and meeting Angus's gaze. "Oliver and I will go into the town. The Alpha King will have my head if another attack happens on your watch. You need to listen to me on this, Angus. You're too high-profile
Third Person's POVAfter lunch, Damon prepared to depart for his meeting with Alpha Prince Angus."I have to head out as well," Ada announced, checking her watch."What? Where to?" Reina asked, her expression tightening with concern."Headquarters called me in for an immediate report," Ada explained. "I think something significant is happening; they refused to give any details over the phone.""It’s likely they’ve finalized the missions for the new recruits," Damon noted, reaching for his keys. "We’ll drop you off. The headquarters is on our way."Ada hesitated, shifting her weight. "Damon, I don't want to complicate your schedule with my business.""It's fine. Go with them," Reina encouraged, offering a reassuring smile.Ada stepped forward and pulled Reina into a firm hug. "I'll see you soon. Take care of yourself.""You too," Reina replied. As they pulled apart, she added, "This place is always open to you. Don't hesitate to come back whenever you can.""I won't," Ada promised.Nea
Reina's POV The next morning, I woke to birds chirping outside on the balcony. Pale morning light slipped through the gaps in the curtains, casting a gentle glow across the room. I was still curled tightly against Damon, my leg draped over his, one arm resting across his chest as he slept.The smooth silk of a nightdress brushed against my bare skin. I didn’t remember him putting it on me. At some point after I’d fallen asleep, he must have cleaned me up and dressed me.A slow smile formed on my lips as the memories from last night came back clearly. Instead of embarrassment, a deep, warm satisfaction settled in my body. I was genuinely glad my first time had been with him. It had been better than anything I’d imagined, patient, intense, and surprisingly natural. He had guided me through it, helping me let go and discover how much pleasure I was capable of feeling. For the first time, I felt completely at ease in my own skin. Closing my eyes, I snuggled closer to him, my body stil
Reina's POVI pressed my hand firmly against his chest and pushed. Damon let me flip him onto his back. I quickly climbed on top, straddling his hips. His hands instantly gripped my waist as I rolled my hips slowly over him, feeling his manhood pressing against me through the fabric.“Don’t tease me like that, mate,” he growled. His eyes flashed golden, the control in them slipping fast. “Where the hell did you learn that?”“I watched it in a series once,” I answered, a little breathless.I grabbed the hem of his shirt and pulled it off, revealing his broad, muscled chest. My palms slid over his warm skin, tracing the hard ridges of his abs and pectorals. My fingers brushed across the dark tattoos that covered his scars. They were beautiful in their own raw way.I leaned down and pressed a slow, open-mouthed kiss right in the center of his chest. A deep groan rumbled out of him, vibrating against my lips. His grip on my hips tightened, fingers digging into my skin as I continued pepp
Damon's POVMy lips crashed into hers again, hungry and demanding. I cupped the back of her head, fingers threading through her hair as I deepened the kiss. Our tongues met, sliding and tangling, the heat between us spiking fast.I shifted, hovering over her while bracing my weight on my forearms so I wouldn’t crush her into the mattress. She sank back into the pillows, her body fitting perfectly under mine, soft curves pressing against my harder frame.Low, muffled moans vibrated from her throat into my mouth. My hands moved over her, tracing the dip of her waist and the swell of her hips. I could feel the faint tremors running across her skin, she wanted this just as badly as I did.Her lips brushed my earlobe, then she nipped it sharply. A rough groan escaped me. I tilted my head, giving her better access, and released her chin.“What was that?” I asked, staring down into her eyes.“Claiming you as mine,” Reina replied, voice breathy but sure.A smirk tugged at my lips. “Look at y
Damon’s POVI left Reina to settle into the bedroom, closing the doors softly behind me. The moment I was out of her sight, the composed, patient facade I had maintained for her benefit crumbled. My blood was boiling.I marched downstairs, feeling agitated. I found my Beta, Oliver, in the living roo
Reina’s POVSeeing Damon’s face this close when his golden gaze piercing right through me, I felt my resolve crumble again. His thumb brushed across my lips, anchoring me to him as we shared another long, lingering kiss that left me breathless."You provoked me," he murmured against my neck, his vo
Reina’s POVDamon pulled the car into the parking lot. As we stepped out, he rounded the vehicle and immediately took my hand."You chose the flowers quite carefully," he noted, his gaze drifting down to the bouquet of white lilies I held."White is a symbol of peace. And because we are in the Moon
Reina's POV Damon was mere centimeters from my face, his breath warm against my skin, when a sharp knock shattered the silence of the room. The door swung open before we could even pull apart."Your father has arrived, Damon. My apologies for the unfortunate timing," Oliver announced, keeping a pr
