LOGINPOV: AIRYSHe slowly opened his palm, revealing the deep cuts. I sighed, touched by the wound, but even more by what it represented. I leaned over his hand, sealing my lips against the injury, then rested my face there, absorbing the warm, potent scent of his blood. There was something sweet in it. Something strange and addictive that triggered a new shiver in me.“Hmph… you really are fascinating,” he murmured hoarsely, as if the words had escaped without his control.I lifted my face, arching an eyebrow.“You calm my beast… and my fury,” he added with raw sincerity.“It’s part of my charm, Alpha,” I replied provocatively, lowering my voice to a more enticing tone. A mocking smile curved my lips.The line of his mouth lifted slightly. A crooked half-smile, seductive and dangerous.&
POV: AIRYS“Little one, the little you already know about me has been enough to make you feel fear.” Daimon’s voice cut through the silence with firmness. His head tilted slightly, as if studying my every movement. His gaze traveled across my face, assessing even the subtle tremors of my lips. “I don’t blame you for it.”My fingers twisted together reflexively. The fear was real. Not that he would hurt me physically—not anymore—but of everything he carried behind that dark, intense gaze. Still, I lifted my chin. I didn’t want him to notice my hesitation.“Maybe I fear you because I don’t know your story,” I said, staring at him firmly and forcing my voice to sound more confident. “It’s hard to trust what you don’t understand. Would you trust me if you hadn’t dug through my life?”“Probably not,
POV: DAIMONAirys pulled back just enough to lift her face to mine, her golden eyes sparking with provocation.“Fenrir doesn’t seem like a trustworthy wolf to me,” she declared, defiant.The roar that tore from the depths of my chest filled the room, so intense that it made her body stiffen slightly in alert.She recoiled a little, startled, but she didn’t run.Brave.My small, insolent mate.“You can contest it, creature,” she murmured, sarcastic, even though her voice trembled slightly. “Your methods weren’t exactly… noble.”I growled softly but contained my fury. My hand slipped into her silver hair, pulling it carefully to better expose her face while my fingers caressed her scalp, massaging it pleasurably.The feeling of having her there, in my hands, a breath
POV: DAIMONAirys let out a soft sigh, absorbing every word.“It would have been dangerous if he had been chosen… and become the next Supreme,” she concluded in a low voice, leaning back in her chair without taking her eyes off mine. She picked up the wine glass, her fingers trembling slightly, and took a sip, trying to maintain control.My breathing was heavy, my chest rising and falling in a rhythm controlled only by sheer willpower.“What happened?” she asked, her voice softer, sensing the weight of the story.I clenched my jaw.The memories materialized, violent and cruel.“During the first ritual on the solstice…” my voice dropped to a deep, somber tone, “I took Klaus’s place.”I watched her reaction: eyes widening, muscles tensing, breathing uneven.“He was already late,” I continued, giving her no respite. “I couldn’t find
POV: DAIMONShe shot me a deadly look but swallowed in silence, accepting it.“I know more about you because I investigated you,” I continued, my voice carrying that deep tone that made her tremble. “I needed to know who the woman was that had invaded my night… who had dared to steal my attention and my control. And naturally…” A cruel smile formed at the corner of my lips. “I have more than enough resources to get all the answers I want.”She rolled her eyes, pouring a generous dose of sarcasm into a single gesture, and took a sip of her drink, unconcerned with the tension still pulsing between us.Then, with irritating naturalness, she opened her mouth in a silent invitation to be fed again, as if demanding my attention.So bold.So mine.The corner of my mouth lifted in a satisfied smile, the predator inside me delighting in her unconscious provocation.“What?” sh
POV: DAIMONI growled lowly, irritated at having to put her through that test. I knew her fear and the risks involved.“With magic in play, I feel nothing. Not a single spark of their existence reaches me.” I clicked my tongue, thinking out loud as my hand traveled along her waist, squeezing it lightly. “But you…” My eyes locked onto hers. “You are the mother. You carry them in your soul. You know their scents, their emotions, their instincts. Furthermore, you are the strongest link.”Airys’s eyes widened slightly, her breathing quickening.“You won’t be alone during the test,” I added, my voice firm and commanding. “I’ll be with you… guiding every step.”She took a deep breath, trying to regain some control she had already lost without realizing it. Her pupils dilated sharply, and her nose lifted in a
POV: AIRYSIt took a while for the dizziness to pass completely. I went back to my routine. I needed to. Furthermore, I had to cling to the one thing that still made me feel whole. Medicine. Surgeries. Saving lives was, in some way, what kept me from falling completely into the abyss of wh
POV: ORION“Orion,” Alec called me in a low voice, almost a whisper. His feet swung nervously under the van seat, and his yellowish eyes were fixed on the floor. “I had the dream again… about that big wolf. He was in the middle of the forest, with eyes red as blood
POV: AIRYSHe frowned at the nickname and gave me a gentle smile, hugging me back. Soon his two brothers joined in, squeezing our bodies into a group hug that made me shiver. It always disarmed me.Jack and Colen were being way too quiet. They kept exchanging glances,
POV: AIRYSIt was strange to say it, but it felt like I had only blinked and time had already flown by. The memories still danced in my mind while I held my hot cup of coffee between my hands. Steam rose slowly, mixing with the sounds of the commotion downstairs. Colen was running after Al
