LOGINAdrianās POV I noticed Nelissa moved cunningly. I felt she was up to something⦠or going somewhere. I moved out of my room when I felt like she had gone a distance, then followed her. I noticed she was heading toward the eldersā office. I couldnāt tell the exact one, but the fact that she was going there was what mattered. I slowed my steps, keeping my distance. Not too close or too far. She stopped in front of one of the doors. Knocked. And went in. My eyes lingered on the door for a second before I moved closer, careful, controlled. I didnāt stand directly in front of it. I listened carefully. Taking in every word, trying to grasp anything, anything at all, that I could use against them. Luckily, I had brought my recorder with me. My jaw tightened slightly, but I stayed still and listened, but I couldn't hear anything about the former Luna or anything that could help me get concrete evidence against them. I stepped back slowly, frustration settling in. I went away, deje
Karenās POV The next morning came. I woke up slowly, the soft light of the sun filtering through my window, warming my face. For a moment, I just lay there, doing nothing, just staring. Then I turned slightly. My eyes fell on the flowers. Right where I had left them. Fresh and beautiful. My chest tightened. Last night⦠was good, I thought. I sat up slowly, pulling the covers off me, my fingers brushing lightly against the dress beside me. I paused, holding it for a second. I remembered he called right after I felt that lonely feeling, when I saw my phone beside me. I exhaled slowly and stood up, forcing myself to move. Work didnāt wait for feelings. And neither did life. I first got to the bathroom and performed my morning ritual, then dressed up, carried my cross bag, and left for work. The chief maid had prepared something for me, which I ate and left. I went outside the gate only to see Charles waiting for me. I walked towards him with a smile. āGood morning, Luna,ā he bowed. ā
Karenās POV By the time I got home, everything felt⦠quiet again. I closed the door gently behind me, leaning against it for a second as I let out a small breath. The kind you donāt realize youāve been holding all day. My eyes dropped to the flowers in my hand. I smiled. Walking slowly into my room, I placed them carefully on the table, adjusting them like they were something fragile⦠something important. Because they were. I sat on the edge of my bed, my fingers brushing lightly over the petals. āTheyāre beautiful,ā I whispered, even though no one was there to hear it. I could still hear his voice in my head. āDo you like them?ā I let out a soft laugh, shaking my head slightly. āYouāre unbelievableā¦ā The words came out quieter this time. I leaned back slowly, pulling my legs up onto the bed, my gaze still fixed on the flowers. Then my eyes drifted to the dress. Folded neatly where I had placed it earlier. I reached for it without thinking, my fingers curling into th
Zaiden POVWe actually intended on coming back in probably a weekās time or so. We only wanted to make sure everything was alright before we left. I personally didn't want to come back here. I needed to be with my mate soon and get the Luna ceremony and rites done as soon as possible.I remembered I hadn't spoken to Adrian, so I decided to put him on the line.āHello.āāAlpha,ā he greeted.āHow's everything going?ā I asked.āPretty good,ā he said. āI know you'll soon be back. Just a little touch-up remaining, I promise. Before you even make up your mind to come back, Iām done.āāYou sound too confident,ā I sighed.āYes, I do. I've connected all the dots. I only have the last one remaining.āāGreat. When I'm back, we'd be leaving immediately.āāOkay,ā he replied.I went back into the house, going to my room. I saw Thelma and her brother.āUncle Zai!ā they screamed and ran towards me while I bent to pick them up.āHow are you doing, kiddos?āāWeāre good!ā Thelma said happily. āMom said
Nelissa's POVAfter going all lovey-dovey with Adrian, I left his room for mine. Then I got a text from my dad, telling me to come to his office. I was glad I hadn't reached my room yet.I got to his office and knocked, then I was allowed in.āGood day, Dad,ā I said.I turned to the other side, seeing the elders of the council gathered. I wondered what was wrong.āGood day, elders,ā I bowed.They nodded.āHave your seat,ā my dad said. I sat.āOkay, we called you here because, as we all know, Xavier would be back anytime soon. We need to go ahead with the mating and marking rites.āāDad, I don't think Xavier is ready for that.āāWhat more does he want to prepare for? Time is no longer on our side.āāDad, he might be busy with Alpha duties. We know fully well that he's been busy going from pack to pack, inviting Alphas for alliances for the sake of protecting his pack. We need to give him some time, at least.āāIt's fine, but that'd be anytime soon.āāSure,ā I replied, even though somet
Nelissa POV I didnāt realize when it started happening. When being around Adrian stopped feeling⦠dangerous, and started feeling normal, I guess that was because Xavier was no longer around and there was nothing to fear, we've been fucking for close to two weeks not everyday though but enough to get acquainted to each other and to think Adrian was never interested, now he's been all over me. I pushed open the door to his room without knocking, already knowing heād be there. He always was at this hour. He didnāt even look surprised. āYouāre getting bold,ā he muttered, glancing up from where he sat, sleeves rolled, hair slightly messy like heād been running his hands through it. I leaned against the door, crossing my arms. āYou donāt lock your door.ā āYou donāt knock.ā āSame thing.ā A faint smirk tugged at his lips. Goddess!! That smirk. I rolled my eyes and stepped inside anyway, closing the door behind me. The room felt warmer than mine. Or maybe it was just him.
Xavier POVThey told me he had shifted back.That was enough for me to come.The underground chamber smelled like silver, dried blood. The guards stepped aside when I approached, their faces tense.āHe hasnāt spoken to anyone,ā one of them said quietly.I nodded once.āOpen it.āThe heavy door groa
Zaiden POV I knew he would circle back. Commanders like him didnāt run because they were afraid. They ran because they were hunting for a better place to kill you. The eastern camp thinned as my warriors pushed the remaining rogues toward the center. Smoke drifted low, mixing with dust and the
Nelissa POV āGood girl,ā he said, and went to my back, finally his huge cock sliding in between my soaked folds. He rubbed his cock against my pussy, smearing my wetness all over his veiny cock. He pressed deeper into my pussy. āAhhh,ā I cried out in pain as he passed through the tight barri
Eryx POV āI want you to mark me,ā she said. I could feel my heart beat when she said that. āIām not forcing you. Trust me,ā I said, then turned to her, my face close to hers. āIāll wait till you are ready. I promise.ā āIām ready.ā āEden?ā I called. āIām sure, Eryx. I want you to mark me.ā My
