LARA

“Alpha… the children never arrived at school today.”

Teacher Lucy’s words hit me like a slap. I stood frozen at the school gate, car keys still dangling in my hand. The afternoon sun, which had felt warm and comforting only moments ago, now burned too harshly against my skin.

I blinked, trying to process what she had just said. “What do you mean they never arrived?” My voice came out hoarse, barely above a whisper at first. I cleared my throat and tried again. “Nina dropped them off this m

  • The Banished Luna's Awakening   Papa's First Morning

    Lara’s POVThe next morning arrived. I stood on the wide front steps of the pack house at 6:50 a.m., the cool air brushing against my skin as I watched the driveway. My arms were crossed tightly over my chest, more to hold myself together than to ward off the chill.The quadruplets stood behind me in their neat Frost Fang Academy uniforms, shifting with a mixture of excitement and nervousness.At exactly 7:00, his black SUV rolled slowly up the driveway and came to a stop.Matteo stepped out first. Then he opened the passenger door and helped a small girl out — Rose. She clung to his hand, looking nervous but curious, with dark curly hair and shy eyes. She was wearing the academy uniform too.Matteo looked… painfully trying. His hair was neatly combed, he wore a crisp button-down shirt and slacks, and he carried a paper bag in one hand and a bouquet of slightly crushed silver-petaled lunar blooms in the other. His broad shoulders were tense, and his golden eyes held a nervousness I ha

  • The Banished Luna's Awakening   A Wet Cat II

    Matteo stepped out.Bare-chested.A white towel was wrapped low around his waist, hanging dangerously on his hips. Droplets of water still clung to his broad shoulders and the defined ridges of his abdomen, slowly trailing down his skin. His dark hair was damp and tousled, falling across his forehead in a way that made him look far too devastating for someone who had just stood in a freezing downpour for hours.My mouth went dry. I gulped.The mate bond — that treacherous, long-dormant thing — surged violently between us. Filthy, vivid images slammed into my mind without warning: his hands gripping my thighs, that same bare chest pressed against mine, his mouth on my neck while he growled my name, the way he used to take me apart so thoroughly I forgot everything except him…Where the fuck are the clothes I ordered?Heat flooded my face. I tore my gaze away from the perfect V-line disappearing beneath the towel and glared at him instead.“Where the fuck are the clothes I ordered?” I s

  • The Banished Luna's Awakening   A Wet Cat

    Lara’s POVThree days had passed since we returned to Frost Fang Pack.The children were healing remarkably well — their bodies restored, their powers stabilizing under my constant lunar care. The nightmares never came. They slept peacefully through the night, and during the day, they were back to their usual brilliant, energetic selves.I had thrown myself into work — pack meetings, training the younger wolves, reviewing border reports. Anything to keep my mind occupied. But Matteo wouldn’t let me forget.---The first time he appeared, it was just after sunrise. I felt him before the guards reported it — that familiar, stubborn tug on the mate bond. I stood on the watchtower with Ryker, arms crossed, watching his tall figure stand motionless in the falling snow. “Turn him away,” I ordered coldly.The guards did. He didn’t argue. Hour after hour, he stood motionless in the bitter cold while the snowfall grew heavier around him. By midday, snow coated his shoulders like a second cloak

  • The Banished Luna's Awakening   Not A Prince Charming After All

    Lara’s POVThe lullaby wrapped around us like a gentle cocoon, my voice soft and melodic as I sang the old Frost Fang melody about the Moon Goddess watching over her stars. The children lay nestled against me on the oversized bed, their small bodies warm and finally relaxing after the ordeal.As the last notes faded, I lingered, unwilling to move. The trauma of the kidnapping still haunted me—I kept expecting one of them to jolt awake, screaming, reliving the dark ritual or the witch’s draining touch. I brushed Maria’s hair back from her forehead, then stroked Caius’s cheek.“I’ll stay right here,” I whispered. “You don’t have to be strong tonight. Mama’s got you.”Maria cracked one eye open, then gave me the brightest, most reassuring smile I’d seen in days. “Mama, we’re okay. Really. We’re big girls and boys now. The old witch didn’t scare us that much—we knew you, grandpa, and the uncles would come.”Lyra stretched dramatically and yawned. “Yeah, Mama. Go rest or talk with Grandpa.

  • The Banished Luna's Awakening   Banished Publicly Tomorrow

    She had ordered the kidnapping of my children. She had drained Lara’s blood—nearly killed my mate and our unborn pups—then lied straight to Lara’s face that I had commanded it. All while smiling at me every day like the perfect, supportive Luna.Enough.The fury that had been simmering for years finally boiled over. My claws slid out, dark fur rippling across my arms as Storm pushed hard against my control.I turned and stalked out of the chamber, following the faint trail of my family’s scent. Not to chase them—I wasn’t stupid enough to test her brothers’ patience right now—but to get the hell out of this cursed place and back to my own territory.By the time I reached my pack borders hours later, the rage had hardened into something colder. Clearer.Selene was finished.I didn’t bother with announcements. I stormed straight into the Luna’s quarters where she was lounging with her usual entourage. The moment she saw my face, her practiced smile faltered.“Matteo, what—”I crossed the

  • The Banished Luna's Awakening   They're ours?

    LARAI felt the exact moment something deep inside him clicked into place.I knew.Moon Goddess, I knew exactly what he had finally understood.Matteo’s breath hitched, audible even across the chamber. His golden eyes—Storm’s eyes—widened, the storm inside them fracturing into something raw and devastating. The color drained from his face as the truth slammed into him. These were his children.The quadruplets. Conceived during the last days of our happiness, before everything shattered. The heirs he and his pack had demanded so cruelly. The ones he had unknowingly rejected along with me.A broken sound tore from his throat—half growl, half sob. He took one stumbling step forward, then another, as if pulled by an invisible chain. His massive frame trembled, claws fully retracted now, hands opening and closing at his sides like he didn’t know what to do with them.“M-Mine?” The word cracked out of him, barely more than a whisper. But in the heavy silence, it landed like thunder.Ryker

    He stopped walking. For a long moment, he stared down at me, the wine stain on my gown still dark like spilled blood.When he finally turned, his expression was glacial. That low, resonant voice—pure Alpha authority—cracked through the corridor like a whip.“Selene. Did you hit Rose?”My stomach dr

    I burst through the doors at full speed, my hands trembling uncontrollably. I clenched them into fists at my sides, forcing my breathing to steady.He kissed me.The memory burned—his hand sliding possessively around my neck, the desperate crash of his mouth against mine, the way Storm’s raw power

    "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.
