ログインCadmus’s POVI got two glasses and a bottle of wine while she was in the shower. Thinking of the meeting for tomorrow, I let out a growl. Drystan loves her. I have to stay calm and also learn how to shut the link.She walked into the living room in a t-shirt and lounge pants; no matter what she wore, she was beautiful. I handed her a glass of wine, the fireplace crackling. Victoria sipped quietly. Her link was shut, I couldn’t hear her thoughts, but I felt her anxiety.Care to share? I interrupted her thoughts.She smiled, touching my face. I pulled her to sit between my legs with her back resting against my chest.I’m reminiscing about the past, bringing back memories; it's very emotional, Cadmus. I’m sorting all this. Still trying to keep up with everything. It's like a roller coaster, just when I think it's over, it's either high or low.Then talk to me, let me help you, I said, kissing her neck.Cadmus, she paused, how did you survive a year without me?Define survive? I was devas
Victoria’s POVCadmus, I tell him over the mind link, my father wants to see me. Do you know why?No idea, but I’ll be there soon. Training warriors right now, love. He sends me a sexy image."I will block you, Cadmus," I joke. "Didn’t you have enough..."Never. Your turn. Or I’ll come see for myself.I sent him an image. He growls, fuck me, I need you after the meeting.Cadmus, please, I say, laughing as I enter my father’s office.Dad, you called for me. I see a woman with a baby and a toddler. Who are they?Victoria, this is Kaden, and Angelina, Drystan’s children. He sent them to us for safety. We have a meeting once a week. And it is a brutal separation every time.May I hold him? Then she hands me the baby. Oh, he is so cute. Did he finally find his fated mate?He did, and she is very good to him, and he seems happy, my dad said.I gave the baby back, and I crouched to say hello to Angelina. You know, my daughter is Thalia. Do you play with her?She nods. Great, I stand up and l
Cadmus’s POVVictoria, I whispered, tell me what you remember? My hands are touching her softly. I feel her arousal, and she is fighting it.I remember this place, she said, I was in heat? Her eyes locked on me.Yeah, that’s correct, it was your transformation, after I claimed you. We had really good times here, I said, smiling. Why are you fighting your feelings, Victoria?Because I don’t remember everything...I held her in my arms, our naked bodies touching. We still had blood all over, so I took her hand gently and walked under the waterfall to help her wash the dry blood.Cadmus, why do they attack us?This area is full of rogues; they hide, form groups, and attack. You think they learned by now that they can’t take over my pack. Now, you want me to tell you everything? I asked her to sit down. I pulled her back to my chest, my arms holding her.I was the monster that sent you into his arms, I started, even though I was so attracted to you. Thane brought you to the pack, and I kn
Victoria’s POVCadmus held my hand, helping me out of the car. Then went around and took Hathor from the car seat.Victoria, my father said, rest and tell me if you want to talk or find your past.I hesitated for a moment, realizing that when I called him 'my father,' I meant the man who had raised me, even though I still wasn't sure if he was my real, biological father or just a father figure. The uncertainty made everything feel heavier.I smiled. My father seemed nice. Or maybe just nice until I remember?Cadmus gestured for me to follow him. As I walked behind him, his scent was overwhelming—a heady mix of pine, smoke, and something deeply masculine that sent a shockwave through me. The aroma curled into my senses, making my skin flush and every nerve stand on edge. Heat flared inside me, coiling low in my belly, and I found myself shivering despite the warmth that rolled through my body.What is happening to me?The master bedroom was clean, and the bassinet was next to the bed.
Cadmus’s POVWe arrived at the pack house, and as soon as we got out, the pack’s beta came over to greet us.He motioned for us to follow. As we walked inside, I noticed the strong smell of pine and wood smoke in the cool air, mixed with something wild and clearly wolf. Voices murmured from deeper in the house, blending with the faint sound of a fireplace. The pack’s alpha was an older man, probably in his fifties, with a commanding presence and a quiet sense of authority.Alpha Balthazar stood up and said, 'What a pleasure to have you visit my pack,' then shook his hand.This is my son-in-law, Alpha Cadmus. And this is Alpha Kenda from the River pack.Please, have a seat. What can I do for you?I took out a picture and handed it to him.That’s Iris. We found her by the riverbank, and she was pregnant. The baby is about five months old now. She’s my mate, and she’s Balthazar’s daughter.He stood up. Well, I had no idea...he dialed, told Iris to come to my office with her baby.'We did
More than a year ago...Victoria’s POVWhen I opened my eyes, a woman with golden eyes was watching me. A man stood beside her. They both looked to be in their late fifties.The woman smiled. "Welcome back. May we know your name?" she asked.I tried to sit up and placed my hand on my belly, though I wasn’t sure why.Your baby is fine, with a strong heartbeat."I... don’t know my name," I said, tears starting to fall.We found you by the riverbank, and honestly, everyone was surprised you made it. Usually, no one survives those waters. That part of the river is dangerous for both mortals and wolves. I think you survived because you hit your head, but some in the pack are saying maybe something else helped you. We found you three days ago."Thank you," I said, trying to get out of bed."Wait, where are you going?" he asked.I shook my head. "I don’t know. My mind is still foggy. I can’t remember my name or anything else."The woman smiled kindly.We’re a small pack, far from any enemies

Balthazar’s POVSixteen years agoSylvia, I shouted, “Where are you?Daddy, Mom is sleeping, shhh.I picked her up and kissed her cheek. My little wolf. What are you up to?Nothing, I play with a bunny, a lizard, and a chicken. I asked them to do funny things, and they listened like they were my fr
Makarius's eyes widened. " How did you figure it out?" "Figure what out?" I asked, my brow furrowing. "The fake formula you planted. They caught the spy because of it." "It worked?" I leapt onto the couch, unable to contain my excitement. " Let me guess... someone from Finance?" Makarius shook
"You don’t have to do this, Victoria," he said, reaching out."Don’t touch me. I’ll handle it myself, and then I’m out. Now, are you driving me or not?""Victoria, please, just forgive me.""Forgive you? Are you driving, or should I hail a cab?"Silence.I slammed the door and jabbed the elevator b
