Masuk"Introduce me as your special advisor", Cornelia demanded from Talia. "Considering the mystery surrounding the Midnight Guardians pack, no one will dare to question it."Talia didn’t see a problem with introducing Cornelia as an advisor, or as anything else Cornelia wanted. After all, other than Yasmin, Cornelia was the second witch that provided assistance without demanding some kind of a deal for the smallest things. In addition to that, Cornelia was mated to James, a teenage genius, and doing a favor to Cornelia will definitely help them keep James as their ally.However, Talia was concerned about Cornelia’s safety. If Cornelia gets compromised and people realize her special background, Cornelia will get a big invisible target on her back. It will also cause a cascading effect where everyone close to Cornelia will be put under scrutiny. Talia already had so many problems on her hands that she didn’t want to add more.But even with weighing all that, Talia couldn’t just refuse Corne
"I’m Daria", she squeaked, sounding more like a five years-old girl than a grown female. She quickly cleared her throat and repeated, "Daria. Daria Wilkow." This time, her voice was normal.Pierce smiled at the silly woman who was a nervous wreck. Didn’t she know how perfect she was? He swallowed food from his mouth before saying, "Pierce."Pierce licked his lips slowly, somehow managing to smear the cream cheese further, and then he asked Daria, "Are you hungry?"He tilted his head toward the table with food, hoping that she will say she was horny and not hungry, and they can get down to the important parts of mating and marking."Yeah. I am...", Daria breathed and got on her toes at the same time her arms snaked around his neck to pull him down.Pierce thought that his gorgeous mate will kiss him, but she ended up licking him around his lips. It would be gross, but she smelled of fresh pastries and wherever she touched him was electric.Daria licked Pierce’s face clean from cream ch
Drake was quick to pull a chair for Talia and to start piling food on her plate as soon as she took her seat. She smiled helplessly at her Alpha, knowing that this was his impulse to provide for his mate.Talia was aware that it meant a lot to Drake to feed her, and she didn’t have the heart to remind him that he can’t do that for lunch or dinner because other people will be watching, and his doting behavior will be a giveaway that they were mates.Per Drake’s request, Drake and Talia were assigned to sit at the same table during the upcoming ceremonies and Talia considered making changes to those arrangements. She quickly dismissed that idea because Drake will blow a fuse if any man comes to talk to her.Talia wondered if it would be better if she came here as Drake’s Luna, and for Alpha Natalia Moonrider to reject the invitation. But then... they wanted to test the waters and see how people will treat Talia before they discover that the largest pack in North America just got larger
The packhouse was buzzing with activity which extended to nearby houses where guests were staying.This was a high-profile three days-long event full of important people, and reporters were there as well.The schedule for the first day included a party that starts in the afternoon with snacks, drinks, and music. When looking from the packhouse, at the back of the garden was a massive event hall that was set up with tables and chairs that extended into the garden.White and golden streamers created elegant arcs between balloons, and everything was luxurious.The archway made out of white roses was set on a podium in the garden, ready for the main ceremony that was scheduled at sunset. The ceremony will resemble a wedding, and Tatiana and Maddox mentioned to their human guests that they are worshiping the Moon and Nature; the couple hoped that will be enough to explain the Shaman and strange chants which will include words such as Alpha and Luna and blessings of the Moon Goddess.After
~ the Blue River pack ~Talia smiled before opening her eyes. She knew that the warm body next to her was Drake’s, and his addictive scent of the forest and dark chocolate was all around her. It was her favorite way to wake up regardless of the nonfamiliar surroundings like a guest bedroom in the packhouse of the Blue River pack."Good morning, kitten", Drake greeted her, and she could hear that he was smiling."Good morning", she responded and rubbed her cheeks on his chest.Drake chuckled and pushed her hair to the side, to reveal the left side of her neck. His eyes flashed in approval. His mark was still there.Ever since their double-marking in the Midnight Guardians pack, his mark was visible on Talia’s neck as proof that she was his. After several markings that faded rather quickly, this one was still visible and going strong.To Drake, it looked like two wolves overlapping and howling at the moon, but Talia said that there was only one wolf, a forest, a moon, and stars. They co
Cornelia leaned on James limply as they stood under the shower and he washed her in slow deliberate movements without a word spoken.He enjoyed her every shiver and sigh as his fingers traced her perfect curves. She was hard and soft in all the right places, absolutely perfect, for him.He really wanted to touch her more and hear her ecstatic cries again, but he feared that it would be too much, so he held back. It was hard.When he was satisfied with washing her, James wrapped Cornelia in a towel and carried her to bed.They laid to face each other, James completely naked and Cornelia wrapped in a towel."Will you tell me what’s going on?" Cornelia was the first one to speak. He would normally be tense when he came to her in the evening, but this was more than usual.James puffed his cheeks. "My father wants me to go to the Luna ceremony in the Blue River pack.""And?""We will leave tomorrow morning and stay there for three days.""And?""I can’t take you. It won’t be safe.""And?"
~ the Dark Howlers pack ~ Drake entered his study and looked grumpily at the stack of documents that are waiting for him to sign. Why is the Alpha of the largest pack in North America forced to do this office work? As a child, when he imagined his future, Drake saw himself as a mighty warrior, s
In the guest bedroom… Drake pushed Marcy away from him and Marcy fell on her butt unceremoniously. "Who is that girl?", Drake asked while buttoning up his pants. Marcy was confused. "What girl?" "The one with towels! She left towels in the bathroom and left!", Drake roared and jabbed his hand i
In the guestroom… Drake sat in the comfy sofa chair and observed Marcy smugly. She was standing three steps in front of Drake with her hands crossed over her chest defensively. "You wanted privacy, so here we are.", Drake said while waving his hand, gesturing for Marcy to start talking. "Conside
It was late morning when Drake, Caden, and May arrived at the Red Moon pack. Layla apologized for the absence of her husband. "He is with the scouts who picked up suspicious movements on the eastern border of our territory before dawn. Edward is a hands-on leader and wants to personally ensure we
