تسجيل الدخولCadmus’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
Makarius’s POV"Abrax," I said as I walked around the table, "it's time to start training."After school, I had two of my best men start training you in combat and pack leadership. They’ll help you work on your supernatural abilities. I’ll join in when I can."Dad," Abrax asked, "any word from mom?"I slammed my hand on the desk. Do not mention your mom, Abrax. She’s dead. Accept it. My words came out harsher than I meant. Anger rose up, hot and fierce, but underneath was a sick ache I couldn’t show him. Every time he asks about her, it burns and reminds me of what I’ve lost, what I can’t face. My pain always turns into rage.He stared at me with cold eyes. Yes, Father. He stood up. May I be excused?I gestured for him to leave.After the door closed behind him, silence filled the room. I broke down. Why do I push everyone away? He’s my blood, my son.Memories of Victoria flickered through my mind—small, scattered moments.I loved her. Why would I kill her? I kept asking myself.They
A year has passed.Cadmus’s POVI opened my eyes and stared at the same ceiling. The pain was still there, always present. It reminded me that Victoria was still alive.The pain felt like a blessing. I needed it.There was a knock at the door. I told them to come in as I swung my feet to the floor.An omega brought Thalia in. Her face lit up when she saw me."Daddy!" she squealed."How is my beautiful girl?" I asked, kissing her cheek."Good, Daddy. I want to go with you."Her words weren’t always clear yet. She was almost three, and not only was she bright, but also beautiful and sweet."Thalia, I’ll be back in a week. Hopefully, I’ll find Mommy."Her face fell, and I hugged her tightly."I miss her too, kid. Now go eat your breakfast. I’ll be there soon."I called the omega to take her.I walked to her closet and picked up a shirt she used to wear, just to catch a faint trace of her scent missed her so much it hurt. I thought of her sweet lips and the light she gave off when she smi
I couldn't look at him. "I was scared you'd think I was a freak. No one at the academy knows. I just... I lost control once and almost had a viper attack on my nemesis." The words leaked out. "But that's not even the point...""Wait." Makarius stared at me. "Animals listen to you. Not just serpents
His lips were touching mine. Hmmm, more, I said with my eyes closed.Makarius’s kisses grew deeper, hungry as his hands touching me—a great way to wake up. I wanted him so badly, like a need I never had before. Everything faded.Victoria, he whispered, “We need to take a shower and start the day.N
Nearly a week went by, and Makarius stayed back, only checking in here and there. It felt like I was getting a cold shoulder, and the whole situation just made me more tangled up in my own head. Then he walked into my room.“What do you want?” I snapped, not bothering to hide the edge in my voice.
The scent of flowers hit me first, then something off, chemical, maybe. Funeral vibes, I thought.My eyelids felt like bricks. When I finally pried them open, I was in a cramped room. Makarius was beside me in bed, and Pirate was slumped in a chair, head lolling like a broken doll.I shifted my arm
