MasukElena's POVI groaned as my alarm blared beside the bed also noticing the insistent pressure of something very hard poking into my thigh. What the hell?I shifted slightly, realizing I was sprawled across Lucien. He was still fast asleep, snoring like an angry bear preparing for hibernation.I laughed softly to myself.Carefully, I brushed a few kisses along his neck and shoulder before lightly tracing the his delicious marking spot on his neck with my lips.A low growl rumbled from his chest.Without opening his eyes, he turned toward me and muttered, "Are you trying to kill me?"I giggled."No. I'm trying to get you up so we can go for morning training."He groaned dramatically and pulled me fully on top of him. The very hard length of him pressed right between my legs. “Do you feel this?”I moaned, heat rushing through me. “I can’t do anything but feel it.”“Exactly,” he murmured, voice rough with sleep and want. “Hopefully tonight you’ll be able to take care of it properly.”“Yes,
Sloane’s POV“Yawn.” I smacked my lips together and stretched, my eyes slowly adjusting to the dim light of the living room. A soft whimper pulled my attention toward the kitchen. I turned over on the couch and froze.Elena was perched on the countertop, legs wrapped around what smelled like a very aroused Lucien who stood between them. They were kissing like the rest of the world didn’t exist. Loud kisses that made the scent of their arousal thick in the air.I cleared my throat.They didn’t even notice.A second later, the door to the gamma suite swung open. Lucien got startled and moved back so fast he nearly dropped Elena, and they broke apart just as Gamma Tobias walked in, laughing.“Why are you two breaking apart?” he teased. “You’re fated mates, right? Your wolves clearly want each other.”Lucien gave a shy smile while Elena’s face turned bright red. I yawned again and called out, “No, Gamma, tell them to at least let me leave the room first before they go back at it.”Elena r
Nova's POVSilvercrest PackOne Week and One Day Until We Leave"Grandmother? Please leave her alone.""What?"I nearly groaned.We were sitting in the dining hall for dinner when Grandmother Solange's sharp gaze landed on Sloane again."Oh, Sloane is looking very tired lately. What's going on with her?"I fought the urge to sigh.I had been telling Sloane for days that she needed to get herself together. She was doing her best to hide the pregnancy, but lately she looked completely exhausted."Nothing, Grandmother," I said calmly. "It's just training, school ending, our birthday being last week, and everything changing so quickly. We've just been really busy."Grandmother pursed her lips."Oh. Well, she looks like she's gained a couple pounds too. She needs to work on that. We can't have any fat she-wolves here."The entire table seemed to freeze.I slowly turned toward her."What is that supposed to mean?"She waved her hand dismissively."You know exactly what I mean. She needs to

Third Person POV Tuesday morning at 5:15 a.m., Luna Elara was already standing beside Draven's bed.She knew her son well enough to know that if she tried to wake him through a mind-link, he would simply block her out. So she had come prepared.Juno, her wolf, was practically cackling with amusement as Elara lifted a large cup of ice cold water.Without hesitation, she dumped it directly onto Draven's head.Draven shot upright with a startled roar."What in the fuc...""Draven, get dressed. You have training."A t-shirt and pair of shorts hit him square in the chest.He groaned dramatically and dragged himself out of bed before disappearing into the bathroom to handle his morning routine.Several minutes later, he emerged dressed and looking thoroughly annoyed.Elara handed him a steaming cup of coffee."Until you get your shit together, I will be waking you up every morning until I see fit."Draven huffed but accepted the coffee."You're enjoying this way too much, mom.""Yes. I rea
Draven's POVAs I walked up the stairs toward the Alpha floor, heading for my room after successfully avoiding those corrupt council members, I spotted my brother briskly making his way down the hallway. A few seconds later, Sabine emerged from the opposite direction.She looked entirely too pleased with herself.As she passed me, she winked.I rolled my eyes and kept walking.The moment I stepped into my room and shut the door behind me, I let out a laugh.Dad and Elias were so damn busy acting like I was some reckless screwup that they couldn't see what was right in front of them.Those council members.I could have told them not to even bother calling the council.I might drink too much.I might not show up to every damn meeting.But I'm still an Alpha.And more importantly, I'm the firstborn.People forget that.Elias and I might be twins, but I came first.I am the original Alpha.The first heartbeat.The first breath.The first son.And despite everything that's happened, despit

Elias POVAs I dug into my pot roast, I looked up while my sister and mother squealed over this gorgeous woman. And when I said gorgeous, I meant gorgeous. My brother lucked the fuck out. She was beautiful, with curves in all the right places, and she wasn’t one of those stick figure, stuck up ass
Lucien’s POVAs the Alpha finished his speech and sat back down, I looked over at the girl Clara, the one who had such a hard time shifting. Honestly, I felt bad for her.I had never seen an Alpha publicly humiliate someone like that before.Silas really was an asshole.Seriously.And I knew for a
