CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED AND SEVENTEEN

ZOEY

The night had stretched long and restless, but by dawn, the house was quiet. For once, there were no hurried knocks on the door, no messengers calling for Graham, no whispers of new attacks.

I woke with the sunlight brushing across the curtains. Graham was already awake, lying beside me with one arm tucked behind his head. His eyes were on me, soft and thoughtful, like he’d been watching for a while.

“Morning,” I whispered, my voice rough with sleep.

“Morning,” he said. His hand reached over and brushed a strand of hair from my face. “You were frowning in your sleep.”

I sighed. “Dreams.”

“Bad?”

I nodded but didn’t explain. Not yet. He didn’t press me, and that was one of the things I loved most about him. He gave me space when I needed it.

Instead, I curled closer to his chest. His heart was steady under my ear, a sound that grounded me more than anything. For a few breaths, I let myself forget the shadows at our borders, the worry that lived in

  • The Mate She Can’t See   Lily and Viktor

    Lily & Viktor – A Promise of Forever (Zoey’s POV)“You’re late,” Lily whispered, eyes wide as I slipped into the small clearing. She looked breathtaking in a simple cream gown, her hair twisted into soft curls that caught the light like spun gold.“I’m so sorry. Hope kept me,” I said, grinning as I hugged her. “You’re glowing. Like…literally glowing.”Lily rolled her eyes, but her cheeks flushed pink. “It’s just the moonlight.”“No,” I teased. “It’s the vampire fiancé.”Before she could answer, Viktor stepped out from behind a tree. He wore a dark suit that looked pristine, every line sharp and perfect. But the moment his gaze landed on Lily, his whole face softened.The infamous vampire king, reduced to pure awe.“Are you ready?” he asked her quietly, offering his hand.Lily exhaled, nerves flickering across her face before she placed her fingers in his. “I am now.”They walked toward the stone arch at the center of the clearing. It wasn’t a grand ceremony, no crowd, no trumpets. Ju

    CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY ONEEPILOGUEZoey’s POV)“Stop trying to climb out of the basket,” I said, laughing as Hope wiggled her tiny body like a determined pup.Morning sunlight spilled across the meadow outside the Alpha house. We’d brought a small woven basket filled with toys, thinking it would keep her entertained while Graham and I shared a quiet breakfast. Instead, she had decided the grass beyond was far more interesting.Graham leaned down and caught her before she could topple over the edge. “You’re just like your mother,” he teased. “Never stays where she’s put.”I threw a berry at him. It bounced off his shoulder and landed in the grass. “You’re worse. You always follow me when I run.”“That’s not worse,” he said with a grin, settling Hope back in the basket. “That’s loyalty.”Hope kicked her chubby legs, squealing with delight. Her laughter filled the meadow like music. I felt the sound settle deep in my chest, a soft reminder of everything we had fought for.Across

    CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTYZOEY“Look at her, Graham,” I whispered, brushing a curl of dark hair from Hope’s forehead. “She’s growing too fast.”We sat on the wide porch of the Alpha house, the morning sun spilling over the valley. Hope was lying between us on a soft blanket, kicking her tiny feet in the warm light. Beyond the porch, the forest shimmered in shades of gold and green, alive with the calls of birds and the faint hum of workers finishing the last repairs.“She’s not even crawling yet,” Graham said, though his eyes never left her. “You’re the one growing too fast.”I laughed softly and leaned my head against his shoulder. “You sound just like Hannah.”“She’s right,” he murmured. His arm wrapped around me, strong and sure. “I don’t ever want to miss a single moment.”Hope squealed, tiny fists waving in the air. Graham reached down and let her grab his finger. Her grip was small but fierce, and his entire face softened. For a man who had faced wars and betrayals, he melte

    CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED AND FORTY NINE (Zoey’s POV)“Is this really happening?” I whispered as we followed Graham down the quiet hall. My voice sounded small against the stone walls.“It’s happening,” Graham said, but his hand was tight around mine. “Viktor swore the ritual is safe.”The room smelled faintly of lavender and old wood. Luna Velma lay on a low bed, silver hair spread across the pillow like moonlight. She looked peaceful, too peaceful. My chest squeezed. I had seen her many times like this, always still, always untouchable. But tonight felt different.Hannah and Lily were already inside, standing near the wall with worried eyes. Viktor waited at the foot of the bed, his tall frame lit by soft candlelight. His crimson eyes flickered toward us, unreadable.“Are you ready?” Viktor asked Graham quietly.“No,” Graham said, his voice low but steady. “But we have to do this.”Viktor nodded once and looked at me. “You stay close to him. The magic is powerful, but it will not harm yo

    CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED AND FORTY EIGHT(Zoey’s POV)“Careful,” Graham warned for the tenth time that morning as I stepped out of our bedroom.I rolled my eyes but smiled. “I’m walking, not wrestling rogues.”He stayed close anyway, his arm brushing mine as we entered the main hall. The scent of roasted meat and warm bread filled the air. The dining room had been rearranged to fit more people, but the long tables were still half empty. So many warriors were out helping with repairs.I adjusted the baby in my arms. Our daughter slept peacefully, her tiny fingers curling around the edge of the soft blanket Hannah had made. The sound of hammers and saws came faintly from outside, music of a pack rebuilding.Ronald was already at the table, his sleeves rolled up, dried mud streaked across his jaw. “Morning, Alpha. Luna.” His eyes softened when he looked at the baby. “Morning, little star.”“Ronald,” I said with a laugh. “You’re the only warrior I know who coos at a baby.”He shrugged. “She de

    CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED AND FORTY SEVEN“Zoey, breathe. Slow and steady.”Hannah’s voice cut through the pain as another contraction ripped through me. I clutched the side of the bed, sweat dripping down my face. My heart raced, but I forced myself to inhale and exhale like she taught me.“I’m breathing,” I panted, gripping the blanket so hard my knuckles turned white. “It just… hurts!”“You’re doing amazing,” Lily said, kneeling beside Hannah. Her eyes were wide but determined. “The baby is almost here. Graham will be back any second.”Another sharp wave made me cry out. Hannah pressed a cool cloth to my forehead. “You’re strong, Zoey. Just a little longer.”The tent smelled of herbs and warm cloth. Outside, voices murmured and feet rushed past. The battle was over. The council was meeting. Viktor and his warriors were preparing to return to their lands. Peace was finally ours, but right now, all I could focus on was the life trying to come into the world.The flap of the tent burst open
