Then she set them down with a shaky hand and quietly backed out of the room, her head bowed.What I didn't know was that Ryker had been standing in the shadowed archway down the hall. He had just returned from the northern border, covered in dirt and rogue blood, his face drawn with exhaustion. He had heard enough of the exchange to know Stella had been trying to help with the medical supplies.When Stella walked past him, wiping a tear from her cheek, Ryker watched her for a moment before walking into the room.“The northern watch is running dangerously low on medical kits, Elara,” he said. His voice was rough with exhaustion as he poured himself a glass of water. “Why haven't the requisitions gone through?”I looked up. “I’m going through the logs now, Ryker. We have to verify the supply lines first so the rogues don't
Elara's POVInitially, Ryker and Kael barely let me do anything. They kept insisting that I needed to rest and that there was no reason for me to concern myself with every little pack matter. If something was minor, they might let me handle it. A logistics review here, a supply reroute there. But anything they considered too demanding was immediately taken out of my hands.It drove me insane.I had been a Luna before. I knew how to manage a pack, organize supplies, deal with administrative matters, and sit in on strategy meetings. I wasn't made of glass. But the more I pushed to be involved, the more protective they became. Then came the Breach at the border.The rogue packs had changed their tactics, using coordinated pincer movements that had our commanders completely baffled. During an emergency war council, while Ryker and Kael argued over pulling patrols from the eastern perimeter, I finally stepped forward. I walked to the map and laid out a counter-strategy. I pointed out the
Lucien's POVStella was standing across the room near the foot of the bed. She wasn't just in a towel—she was completely bare, her damp skin glistening under the faint light, dark droplets of water trailing down the smooth curves of her body.The moment I smelled her, the room filled with the thick scent of lavender and sweet honey. My wolf slammed against my ribs and howled in pure, primal lust. My cock hardened instantly—thick, heavy, and aching—before my brain could even process what I was looking at.Fuck.A wave of intense arousal hit me like a physical blow, but right behind it came a cold, suffocating wave of disgust. No. Fuck no. Not now.I squeezed my eyes shut, my jaw clenching so hard my teeth ached. My own body was betraying me, reacting to her even when my mind was screaming that something was wrong.The scent. The pull. Everything I had felt whenever I was near her had been so damn strong that I had never stopped to question it. Now I couldn't help but wonder what she ha
I was happy. Truly happy.I reached the bottom of the back staircase, heading toward the main office to handle the pack paperwork like I had been doing for the past few days. Suddenly, a shadow stepped out from the side of the corridor. Before I could react, a heavy hand grabbed my wrist and slammed me against the stone wall.“Elara—”I barely had time to draw breath to scream before Lucien’s mouth came crashing down on mine. It was a frantic, forceful kiss, heavy with desperate, suffocating heat. For a fraction of a second, driven by muscle memory and the fading remnants of our dying bond, my lips moved against his. Then reality hit me like a bucket of ice water.A wave of intense revulsion flooded my veins. I snapped out of it instantly, brought my hands up against his broad chest, and shoved him with every ounce of force I had.Lucien stumbled back two full steps, his boots skidding against the polished floorboards.In the past, every encounter with him had left me angry, hurt, or
Elara's POVWe lay tangled like that for a while longer, Kael still half-hard inside me, his breath warm against my neck. The quiet was comfortable until the heavy mahogany doors suddenly opened.Ryker stepped inside, already shrugging out of his coat. His dark eyes locked on us immediately: me still straddled across Kael’s lap, both of us bare and marked and reeking of sex. A slow, wicked grin curved his mouth.“Couldn’t wait for me, huh?” His voice was low, rough from whatever he’d been doing outside. He shut the door behind him and crossed the room in three long strides, already stripping off his shirt. “You know I hate being left out.”Kael didn’t move to cover us. He only tightened his arm around my waist and glanced up at his brother with lazy heat. “Took you long enough.”Ryker’s gaze dropped to where Kael was still buried in me, then lifted to my face. “Elara.” Just my name, but it landed like a touch. He climbed onto the bed, boots discarded somewhere along the way, and leane
“Inside me,” I whispered. “Please. Now.”Kael didn’t make me ask twice. He settled between my thighs, the blunt head of his cock notching against my entrance. For a long moment he simply held there, forehead pressed to mine, breathing me in like he was trying to memorize the scent of us after so long apart.Then he pushed forward in one slow, relentless thrust, filling me inch by thick inch until he was buried to the hilt.We both groaned.He was big—always had been—and the stretch burned deliciously, the fullness so complete it stole my breath. The heat of him spread inside me, denser than any human man’s. Kael held still, giving me time to adjust, amber eyes locked on mine. When I rolled my hips experimentally, he began to move.Deep, measured strokes at first, each one dragging along every sensitive place inside me. The wet sound of our joining filled the quiet room, mingling with our harsh breathing.I wrapped my legs around his waist, heels digging into the exact spot on his lowe
"I, Alpha Matteo of the Red Moon Pack," his voice rang loud and cold across the packed ceremonial grounds, "reject you, Lara Alvarez, as my mate and Luna."The words slammed into me like a silver blade to the chest. For a second, the world went silent. My heart stuttered, then dropped violently int
LARAI opened my eyes to a white ceiling.The room was spacious and spotless, and the sharp scent of medicine lingering in the air told me immediately that I was in a clinic. I pushed myself upright, but the nauseating smell twisted my stomach violently.A soft hand rested against my back before I
My heart rate rose sharply, despite being in a near-unconscious state. I've always been afraid of the dark. A natural phenomenon that werewolves loved and eagerly anticipated. The endless shadows between the trees, the suffocating silence, the feeling that something unseen was always watching... it
Overnight, everything had changed.I was no longer allowed to sleep in the bedroom I once shared with Matteo. Instead, I was ordered to move to the maids’ quarters. I had less than three days to gather my belongings and disappear from this pack forever.When I reached the small, dimly lit room, I p
