ログインAron's POVI tried to keep my voice steady, like I didn't care, but I knew my heart was pounding loud enough for him to hear. He exhaled, slow and deep."I know you don’t like me, and have good reason. But why take it out on Ana?” His words were like daggers to my heart.“I’m not taking it out on her!” I snapped, and immediately got annoyed with how I sounded.His face remained neutral. It made me want to hit him even more.“No?” Was all he said, yet it felt like being disciplined by a parent.I opened my mouth to say something back, but I he wasn’t lying. I was taking it out on her.“The longer you take to accept what is, the harder this will be on both of you." There was a strange softness to his voice that made me hate him even more for having it."As much as you may think it, I didn’t take her from you."I snorted. I knew he was right, but I wasn't about to say it out loud. I let the silence stretch, then side eyed him.“You didn't have to,” I muttered.“If she was gonna choose yo
Anastasia’s POVHe stood near the back longer than necessary. As if debating whether to even approach at all.Dom felt the shift in me immediately, and he stepped closer, allowing his body to press up against me.Aaron finally stepped forward. He looked taller today. I could feel his discomfort warping around me like a clammy hand. His shoulders were stiff with forced composure and his jaw was set like he was bracing for something.He stopped in front of me, and for a moment, neither one of us spoke. He looked up at Dom, his red eyes glowing brighter than normal before he looked back at me. “Blessed be,” he said quietly, extending his arm to me.I grabbed hold of his forearm and pressed my forehead to his just as I did everyone else. I could feel the relief this gave him mixed in with his anger.I swallowed past the thickness in my throat. He may have said hurtful things, but he was still my baby brother, and I loved him just as much as the baby that was growing inside of me.“Blesse
Anastasia's POVDom’s thumb brushed over my knuckles, sending comfort waves to my core. He hadn’t released my hand since we left our room. Not once. His body stayed half a step behind mine, angled slightly outward, allowing me to lead. The covens eyes gravitated in his direction. I expected to feel their distain or discomfort from his presence, but to my surprise, there was none. Well, none except one. Aron. I could single him out without problem. Although the stood in the back, hidden by others, I could feel him there. I straightened my shoulders, ignoring the faint ache beneath my ribs, and tried to ignore him. I didn't want to focus too much on him right now. The coven suffered enough. I couldn't let them see me anything other than healthy and strong.“Merry meet,” I said, my voice coming out more stable than I expected."The night of the blood moon was unexpected," I start, unsure exactly on what to say.They all listened intently, only making the reality of my role painfully cl
Dom's POVEvery muscle in my body tightened and quivered, and all I could do was feel. I could feel her need, her desires being met just as mine. Her moans mixed with mine as every tiny movement of the water stroked a nerve that pulled me closer to the edge.Fuuuck... this was hot. I was so lost in desire, awe, and pleasure, it nearly stunned me when it all collided. I could feel her orgasm match mine. It felt as if our souls became one. It twisted inside of me so fast, I felt dizzy. And yet… I wanted more. I wanted to feel every pulse of her magic, every phantom breath that matched her own. I could feel her all over me, yet she remained in the tub. This was an expericence I would remember forever. My hands were useless. My mind was useless. I was entirely, painfully aware of her, and nothing else existed.Amos whimpered softly inside me, his frustration and need mirroring my own. Just as she had her way with me, she was equally tending to him. I’ve never felt anything like it.I sa
Anastasia's POVHe looked at me now.“No one at all?” He asked. I shook my head.“Nope.” I answer.“But now. Ever since the blood moon… I can feel all of them.” I admit.His hands pause on me. I could tell he was talking to Amos, processing what I said.“You can feel all of the elements? Is that something that happens when you become a High Priestess?”“Not in any books I’ve read… but that’s not all. I can feel the Moon Goddess too.”The look he was giving me now was completely different. I couldn’t tell if he was shocked, worried, or confused. Maybe it was all three.“What does this mean?” He asked more so to himself than to me.“It means, my love.” I say cupping his face with my wet hands.“That I’m evolving” I say in a playful manner, trying to lighten the mood.“And also, I wanted to try something out. Do you trust me?”Dom's POVHer words stayed with me longer than they should have. If she truly never heard of what she was experiencing, then how could I help her? I would need to
Anastasia’s POVI woke slowly. The pain and fear I felt before had reduced significantly.Warmth wrapped around me like silk and sunlight filtered through water. My body still ached. my side a dull throb, my back stiff beneath the bandages, but the pain no longer ruled me. It was manageable. Like something I could set aside if I chose.And for the first time since the attack, I didn’t feel broken. I felt… full. Not in the way a cup is filled to its edge, but in the way the earth is full after rain. If that makes sense. I felt… settled, deep, complete.The Moon Goddess stirred inside me, almost as if she was reminding me she was there. She was a constant, steady warmth beneath my ribs, curled around my womb, protecting what was most precious.Of course. My pregnancy would invoke The Mother. One of the three phases of the Moon Goddess.In her Mother phase, she is protective, watchful, and endlessly patient.“Ana.” Dom’s soothing voice pulled me gently from my thoughts.I blinked and tur
