Griffen's Point of View

It is just past noon, and the cabin has fallen into that kind of peaceful silence only late morning can offer. The soft drone of the TV fills the space, some movie neither of us are fully watching plays on the TV. Aria is stretched out across the couch, her head resting comfortably in my lap, her legs are draped over the couch armrest like it is the most natural thing in the world.

I absentmindedly twirl a strand of her hair around my fingers, letting its softness slide between them before curling it again. She has not said anything in a while, just the occasional soft hum or chuckle when something mildly amusing happens on screen. Her body is relaxed, her breathing slow. She looks perfectly at peace, and if I am honest, I do not want to move either.

Then, suddenly, she shifts a little, turning her face up towards me.

“I want something to eat,” she says, her voice soft and casual. “How about you?”

I glance down at her and nod my head, my fingers still

    Leo's Point of ViewAs I step out of my Dad’s office, the door clicks shut behind me, and I am already reaching into my pocket. My fingers close around my phone and I pull it out in one swift motion. My chest feels heavy. The worry that has been building over the past three days is now fully settled in my bones and it feels cold and sharp.I swipe across the screen and open my contacts, searching for Alaric’s name. My thumb hovers over the screen for a few seconds before I hit call.The line rings once.And a second time.Then I hear his voice.“Hello, Leo? Is everything okay?”I shake my head before I even speak, even though he cannot see me. My voice is low and tight. “Hey. No... we still do not have any news on Aria’s whereabouts.”There is a short pause on the line, not long but enough to hear the tension pull tighter between us.“Would you mind meeting me at the Dark Moon pack house?” I ask. “I could use your help looking for her.”His response comes instantly, firm and clear.“I

  • The Lycan King's Werewolf Daughter   Chapter 28

    Rosalee's Point of ViewI sit stiffly in one of the high backed chairs across from Jensen’s desk, my hands clasped tightly in my lap. The air in the office feels heavier than usual, thick with worry and the unsaid things that have been building up between us for days now.“She has never been gone this long,” Jensen says, breaking the silence first. His voice is low, but not emotionless. There is a tightness in it, the same tightness I have been feeling in my chest since the morning we found out Aria had disappeared.I nod my head slowly, my throat tightening as guilt begins to creep in, uninvited but persistent. “I know,” I whisper, my voice barely audible. I glance towards the window, hoping, foolishly, that maybe I will see her walking back through the trees, angry but safe.Then I add, more quietly, “Do you think we were too hard on her?”Jensen leans back in his chair, his expression unreadable. That alone makes my heart beat faster. He has always been the one who held steady, eve

    Aria's Point of View Griffen kisses me like the moment is bigger than both of us, slow at first, then deeper, more certain. His free hand settles at my waist, fingers pressing gently through the lace, and then, without effort, he lifts me. I gasp softly against his mouth, arms looping around his neck as he draws me in. My legs instinctively wrap around his waist, and we are still kissing, still tethered, like breaking contact would break whatever is forming between us. He moves his free hand briefly, blindly placing the spatula on the counter without looking, never once faltering. His other arm stays strong around me, holding me as if I weigh nothing, like I am something precious. My heart beats wildly, not out of nerves, but out of knowing. Griffen finally breaks the kiss, just enough to breathe, our foreheads resting together, the space between us charged and fragile. His voice is low, a rumble I feel more than hear. “Are you sure?” My eyes flutter open. He is so close I

  • The Lycan King's Werewolf Daughter   Chapter 25

    Griffen's Point of ViewI move through the kitchen, my feet bare on the cool floor, and my jeans still a little wet after the swim in the lake. I am already halfway through prepping my favorite meal. The ribeyes are out on the counter, thick cuts, marbled just right, resting and coming to room temperature, because a good steak never hits a pan cold.The mashed potatoes are nearly done. I have boiled them and they are now soft enough to fall apart with just a little nudge. Now I am adding in all the good stuff, like real butter, heavy cream, and plenty of minced garlic. The scent hits me instantly, warm and rich. I mix until they are creamy but still have just a little texture. Comfort in a bowl.On the stovetop, the green beans are already sizzling in a pan with a healthy slab of butter, a pinch of sea salt, and a generous amount of cracked black pepper. I stir them gently, letting the butter coat everything as the beans soften just enough to keep their bite.The kitchen smells like h

  • The Lycan King's Werewolf Daughter   Chapter 24

    Aria's Point of ViewWarm light washes over the tiled floor, soft and golden, a gentle contrast to the cool air brushing against my skin. I cross to the shower and turn the taps, the old pipes groaning before the water begins to flow. I hold my hand under the stream, waiting, watching the temperature rise as steam starts to curl and dance through the air.When the water is just right, hot enough to chase away the lake chill but not so hot that it burns, I step under the spray. It hits me in a wave, and I close my eyes as warmth spills over my shoulders, trailing down my back, wrapping around me like a blanket. I let out a quiet breath that I did not know I was holding in.For a moment, I just stand there, letting the water pour over me, washing away the long day, the laughter, the nerves, the anticipation that is still humming somewhere deep in my chest.I reach for the shampoo, working it into my hair until it’s thick with suds, the scent soft and familiar. I tilt my head back to rin
