LOGINI stepped into the center of the clearing, heart coiling violently as every eye in the pack fixed on me. Jax pressed against my back, chest warm and taut, growling low as if he could sense every thought circling in the minds around us. Derek’s hands were firm on my hips, thumbs brushing along my stomach, grounding both the pulse inside me and the tension that threatened to unravel control. I shivered violently, moaning softly, letting instinct and awareness tighten, fully alive, fully ready.I inhaled, voice carrying, low but threaded with something unfamiliar, something that made even the strongest alphas shift uneasily. “Listen.” It was simple, one word, but it rolled across the clearing, and I felt it bend the air, coil around the pack, fold their attention toward me. Jax growled, tail brushing mine, teeth grazing lightly, while Derek’s lips pressed along my neck, hand sliding firmly on my stomach. The pulse inside me responded violently, instinct and energy spiraling, alive, prote
I stood at the edge of the clearing, Jax’s body pressed tightly against mine, chest warm and solid, while Derek’s hands rested on my hips, grounding the tension that pulsed through me. My pulse raced, instinct coiling violently inside, the child responding to every heartbeat, every breath, alive and aware. I shivered as Jax’s teeth brushed lightly along my neck, growl low, possessive, and Derek pressed firmly, lips brushing along my temple, hand sliding over my stomach, anchoring the pulse.The pack gathered quietly behind me, alert and waiting, eyes sharp, senses stretched, but I felt none of their fear. I felt the coil of energy inside me tighten as I inhaled, pressed fully into both of them, letting their heat and touch fuse with the instinct that rose in waves. My moan was soft, instinctive, shivering violently as their bodies grounded mine, pressed fully, teeth grazing lightly, hands firm.Derek’s fingers traced lightly along my sides, pressing against the pulse inside, while Jax
The symbol lingered in my mind even as Jax pressed close behind me, his chest hot against mine, teeth grazing lightly along my shoulder. I shivered, letting instinct coil inside me while Derek’s hands moved along my back and sides, pressing firmly, anchoring both me and the child. The air carried tension, thick and aware, and I felt the pulse inside me tighten violently, alive and protective.Jale’s voice broke through, calm but cutting. “This symbol predates Alpha law. It belongs to a faction that does not recognize balance, not even your child’s existence.” I shivered violently, pressed fully into Jax and Derek, letting instinct and heat coil together inside, alive and aware. My pulse raced, the child inside reacting, tightening instinctively as if it already understood the threat.Jax growled low, pressing possessively against me, tail brushing along my leg, teeth grazing lightly, while Derek leaned closer, lips brushing my jaw, hand firm on my stomach, guiding the pulse. I moaned
The borders stirred before anyone saw them. Jax crouched at my side, muscles taut, eyes flicking toward the treeline, teeth bared slightly, scent flaring as he picked up on movement I couldn’t yet see. Derek pressed behind me, hand firm over mine on my stomach, grounding me, keeping the pulse from the child inside from spilling outward too violently. I shivered against them both, letting their heat anchor me while instinct rolled through me, alive and aware.A low hum of tension passed between Jax and Derek before anything else moved. I leaned slightly into Jax, fingers brushing over the side of his neck, feeling every pulse of his alertness, every twitch of his muscles, while Derek’s thumb pressed over mine, grounding the child’s coil inside me. The air felt thick with something waiting, something measured and precise, and the child inside stirred, coiling instinctively in recognition. I moaned softly, pressing fully into both men, letting the tension, heat, and instinct collide.Jax
The air shifted before Jale appeared, a tremor of recognition sweeping through the clearing as he stepped forward, eyes fixed on me. Jax pressed against my side immediately, growl low and protective, while Derek’s hand covered mine over my stomach, grounding me before the energy inside me pulsed again. The child responded instantly, coiling, alive and aware, and I shivered, pressing fully into both of them as if their bodies could hold the surge in place.Jale’s gaze flicked to the two men anchoring me and then to the child, voice low and certain. “This is not ordinary,” he said, every word vibrating in the space around us, and I felt the pulse tighten, wrapping around Jax and Derek, sending shivers along my spine. My fingers clenched Derek’s hand, nails pressing lightly, while Jax growled softly, teeth grazing my shoulder in instinctive protection. I moaned against his touch, letting the sensation ground the pulse even as it stretched outward in recognition.Derek leaned closer, lips
The moment the Alpha knelt fully, I felt the pulse inside me surge, coiling violently, alive and aware, stretching outward beyond the clearing. Jax pressed his body against mine, heat and scent blending, teeth grazing lightly along my shoulder as he growled low, while Derek’s hand pressed firmly over mine, anchoring the surge. The child inside me responded instantly, every instinct firing, and I shivered, hips pressing slightly against Jax as the pulse extended beyond us.From the borders of Montenegro to distant territories, wolves reacted instantly. Some froze in place, heads lowering instinctively, while others paced and whimpered, unable to resist the wave of authority emanating from me. I pressed my forehead to Derek’s chest, breathing in the steady rhythm beneath my own rapid pulse, feeling both men’s heat coil around me like a shield as the energy moved outward.Jax growled again, pressing fully against me, teeth brushing lightly along my collarbone, scent flaring. I moaned sof
I could feel them before I saw them.Not just Derek and Jax, but the rhythm of their bond pulsing like a heartbeat against mine. The air in the courtyard was heavy with anticipation. Wolves moved cautiously around us, sensing the unity we had forged through fire and blood. I was standing at the ed
Raya woke to silence, the kind that pressed in from all sides. The morning light was weak through the thick drapes, and the room smelled faintly of pine and smoke burning herbs, probably from the elders’ rituals. She blinked and immediately knew something was wrong. Too still. Too empty. The usual h
The first bell of the Triple Moon Trial sounded at dawn.It wasn’t loud. It wasn’t ceremonial. It came from nowhere and everywhere at once low, ancient, vibrating through bone instead of air. Raya felt it before she heard it. A pulse behind her eyes. A tightening in her chest. Her wolf stirred uneas
The next morning, the pack called me by the wrong name.It happened in the eastern corridor, where the windows looked out over the training fields. A young guard bowed as I passed.“Luna Lyra,” he said, respectful and certain.I stopped.He looked up, confused by my silence. His eyes flicked to my
