Chapter 44 - Dex. pov

I could guess what Lucy had said about my mate. It took all I could do not to seek her out and ask her where she got the nerve to talk badly about Lilly, her future Luna. The only thing holding me back was Lilly, who clearly wanted to let it go, who could only muster up understanding for Lucy. My chest filled with pride; she'll be a perfect Luna. MY perfect Luna.

It took even more effort not to immediately take her upstairs and claim her, completing the mating bond. I didn

  • Running away to Destiny   Chapter 59

    Chapter 59For a brief moment, I wonder if I might have gone crazy, that the transformation failed, and that it has affected my brain.Even though I know deep down that it isn't the case. I look around the room, even though I know damn well that the voice didn't come from the room, but from me, from inside me.I stare at Dex, who looks at me with a mix of concern and barely concealed amusement.His lips twitch, the only confirmation I need.Okay, okay, no need to panic, I tell myself."Please don't start screaming. We share a body; I'd rather not start our relationship with a migraine."I blink. “Are you… My wolf?”"Excellent observation."Despite the bizarre situation, a laugh escapes me. It feels wrong to laugh right after I’ve done something that almost cost me my life.I give it a moment to let it sink in. And however bizarre it may be, it doesn't feel frightening... it feels... natural. As if I am... reconnecting with something I lost a long time ago."You feel strangely normal,"

  • Running away to Destiny   Chapter 58

    Chapter 58 - Dex pov.It started as we had expected. Lilly lost consciousness when she could no longer bear the pain.I have survived battles, defeated rivals, and witnessed terrible things on the battlefield, but seeing Lilly suffer is the worst thing I have ever had to go through. Seeing her body fight against the poison inside her, the poison I gave her so that she would become just like me.Although it started as we had expected, she is deteriorating more and more.Her body is not accepting the change, even though she was convinced that the mating bond would help her. Her heart rate is slowing down, her breathing becoming lighter."Please, Lilly, you can't leave me," I whisper, her wrist pressed against my lips. "Don't give up," I murmur as the doctor checks her pulse for the umpteenth time. He opens her eyes one by one, but she doesn't react to the light. As if no one is home.Another tear rolls down my cheeks. "She is stronger than this. I know she is." I have to believe it, oth

    Chapter 57The next evening feels like it is coming much too quickly. The night feels different. Heavier. As if the air knows what is about to happen.My fingers tremble slightly as I look in the small mirror on the wall.Even a blind person can see the nerves in my eyes. I still want to push through, but the anxious feeling that has overwhelmed me since I dropped Claire off is becoming increasingly dominant.Dex takes my hand. "You can still change your mind." His voice is no more than a whisper. I take a deep breath and look at him in the mirror in an attempt to get my nerves under control. It doesn't work. Seeing and feeling his worry only fuels it. "I won't," I try to say as confidently as possible.I turn to him. He tries to hide it, the fear, the worry. But I can feel it now, through our bond. I cup his face. "I trust you." It takes no effort for me to say this with certainty, because it is not a lie. I trust him completely. I know that if there is anyone who can help me through

    Chapter 56The moment Dex agreed, something in the air changed. Not lighter, but despite our discussion, it felt heavier.Even though we hadn't talked about it since the last time, it always hung between us like a sort of storm. A storm that just wouldn't break. And now the storm has subsided. The question of whether or not I would change is no longer a question. It is a decision. A decision for which a plan must be made.Minutes after Dex agreed, he changed from a concerned, loving mate to the Alpha.He calls Reece and Ronan over. He tries to appear calm and driven, but the tension in his shoulders betrays him. At least, I can see right through it. If the others notice anything at all, they don't show it. They head into another room, while I stay in the office with Claire. Claire is still entertaining herself with the toys Beth brought earlier today."Are you okay?" asks Beth, who is now standing next to me. I jump; I was so lost in thought that I hadn't heard her coming.She smiles

    Chapter 55 - Lilly’s pov.Thin sunbeams filter in through the narrow slits in the curtain. For a brief moment, I simply lie there. In a state between sleepiness and waking up. I listen to the surrounding sounds. Dex's breathing sounds deep and steady beside me. Claire's breathing softer from her little bed next to ours.A warm feeling of happiness fills my chest. For a few seconds, the looming danger does not exist. I am not thinking of Alex or Lucy, but only of the little piece of happiness that is here in the room with me. My hand moves instinctively to his back.Barely touching him, I let my fingertips glide over his back. Tracing the muscles on his back. The movement is slow, absentminded, soothing more for me than for him.His skin is warm under my touch. He feels strong. Safe. I have to restrain myself from wrapping myself around him. I don't want to wake him up. I watch the rise and fall of his shoulders, letting my hand glide up and down again. The mating bond hums faintly ins

    Chapter 54 - Dex. pov.Pride, that's all I feel right now.This woman was so nervous, so full of doubt, that I was afraid she'd run away. The last thing I expected was for her to address the pack. And man, I've addressed these people countless times. Give them orders, encourage them. But none of those times comes close to how Lilly talks to them.Her nerves are slowly but surely easing, but the pack doesn't notice. The way she speaks is anything but nervous. If there were any doubts among the pack members, she dispelled them word by word.She chooses honesty over fear. And the pack senses that. I see it in the eyes of the pack members closest to us; they see the same thing I do. Lilly is a natural-born Luna. I see it in Ronan and Reece's eyes. Proud of their Luna. MY Luna. When she's finished, she looks at me expectantly. I see the unspoken question in her eyes. "Was I good enough?" I nod approvingly, and she gives me a quick smile, her relief palpable.I briefly tell them what to ex

    Chapter 33 - Lilly’s pov.I've just woken up to Claire's cheerful chatter when there's a knock on the door. The person on the other side of the door is rather impatient, because there's another knock, this time more urgent. "I'm coming!" I shout, slightly irritated. I don't know who it is, but he i

    Chapter 32 - Dex pov.From Lilly's room, I walk straight to my room. I need a cold shower.I've never had to control myself so much as I did just now. And I'm not just talking about the fact that I was on the edge of claiming Lilly. It was so hot to hear her moan my name. My cock was instantly hard

It irritates me, but at the same time, it gives me a warm feeling inside. Which immediately triggers a pang of guilt. I know he wants to keep it qui

    Chapter 28After an awkward silence, Lucy clears her throat. "Mom offered to bring your things," she says. "But if you'd rather do it yourself, one of the men can accompany you." I nod. "She doesn't have to go through all that trouble for me; I'll do it myself," I reply, looking at Bruce, assuming
