After being rejected by her destined mate, Naomi tries to rebuild her life alone—until the day her triplets mysteriously disappear. Desperate, she finds herself forced to seek help from the very man who broke her heart: Casper, now a powerful Alpha with a new mate. While trying to find her children, Naomi crosses paths with Lancelot, a coffee shop manager with a dark past and an unusual truth: he is also her Mate. But Lancelot is more than he appears — a medium wolf, belonging to a feared and misunderstood lineage. When their destinies intertwine in an overwhelming and forbidden passion, Naomi must deal with old wounds, wild instincts, and impossible choices. Between confrontations with wild wolves, revelations about hidden species, and the awakening of a new bond, Naomi finds herself torn between two men—the Alpha who rejected her, and the wolf who accepted her completely. In a race against time, she will have to discover who is behind the kidnapping of her children and to whom her heart belongs.
Lihat lebih banyakThe room seemed to suffocate, despite the soft morning light. The silence between us was dense, as if every second weighed more than my own tired body. I couldn't shake the feeling that Naomi had no real idea of the risk she was taking by staying here. Maybe I was convinced that his presence was a brake for me, but I knew the truth: if the wolf decided to dominate, nothing would hold. Neither she nor I.I sat down on the couch, trying not to show how much my muscles were still shaking. The body looked like mine, but at the same time, it wasn’t. With each breath, I felt the echo of the still latent beast, as if it were just sleeping under the skin, waiting for the next chance."You should go home," I said without looking at her. "Sleep in your own bed, take a real shower, and forget what happened yesterday.""Forget?" she repeated, her voice firm, as if the idea was an offense. "Do you really think I could just pretend I didn’t see anything?"Crossed my arms, ignoring the pain of movem
When I opened my eyes, the first impact was pain. It was not the pain of transformation, which had already passed, but the body’s pain, exhausted, as if I had run miles without stopping. Every muscle ached, and every breath seemed to scratch my lungs. The cold floor of the chamber was glued to my sweaty skin, and for a few seconds, it took me to understand where I was. Then, the memory came back. The transformation. The wolf. Naomi.I raised my head slowly and found myself lying down. My body had returned to human form, but I still felt the remains of the wolf, like a shadow pulsating under the skin. It was always so. Never really disappeared.The first thing I did was look at the door. I didn’t need vision to know it was there. The smell of her reached me, even through the metal. And when I approached, stumbling, I heard her breathing. Low, rhythmic."Naomi." My voice came out hoarse, almost unrecognizable.On the other side, there was a short silence and then the sound of movement.
The first thing I felt when my body gave in to transformation was pain. It was not like the pain of a cut or a punch, but something much deeper. It was the feeling that every bone was being broken and reassembled in a way that wasn’t meant to fit into my skin. I should have been used to it by now, but it never got easier. The difference is that this time Naomi was there. And this detail changed everything. After I started to lose control, I began to be afraid of myself.I heard her calling my name as my body warped, but her voice sounded distant. Like she came underwater. Her words tried to reach me, but the roar inside my head was louder. Instinct wanted to take over. The beast wanted out. I tried to fight, but the more I resisted, the more the transformation was completed.When I finally lost the fight and the wolf took the space, there was no more control over what I did. The body did not obey me. Only instinct. I saw Naomi standing in front of the camera door, staring at me withou
The wolf was before me, no more Lancelot. That wolf, so beautiful and at the same time so voracious, now made me question what I thought of that whole dangerous situation, especially how it would be when I rescued the triplets. His breath was heavy, the fangs almost glowing. For a second, I thought of stepping back, but I remembered: he was still Lancelot. If I abandoned him, he would not differ from the other normal wolves who judged the average wolves.“Lancelot” my voice came out low, almost a whisper. He growled but did not advance. It was a sound as if he was fighting something inside himself. Knowing Lancelot, he probably was.My heart was racing, but my legs could not fail. I knew that if I didn’t take him to the transformation chamber, everything could get out of control. I took a deep breath, forcing myself not to give in to fear.“You need to hear me,” I continued, slowly, each word loaded with supplication. “Trust in me.”I stepped forward. He followed the movement with his
When my back touched the couch, a wave of adrenaline ran through my body. Lancelot’s gaze on me was filled with desire and urgency. I knew him well enough to see that he was trying to control himself, but part of him seemed already beyond restraint."You don’t know how much I waited for this today," he muttered, his voice low, vibrating against my skin as his lips approached my neck.A shiver ran through my spine, and my hands instinctively closed in his shirt, pulling him closer. "Then wait no longer," I whispered boldly.He laughed, but there was no humor in the laughter. It was a heavy laugh, laden with desire. His lips found mine again, and this time there was no hesitation. The kiss was deep, hungry, and every second, I felt there was no way back. My body reacted to each movement.I could feel his strength in every gesture, but what left me even more surrendered was the delicacy hidden under that force. He touched me as if he was afraid to break me, and at the same time, as if he
It was completely night when we left the cafeteria. We walked side by side on the almost deserted street. I felt his every step as if it marked the rhythm of my own breath and realized how much my consciousness was too attentive to the proximity of his body, to the heat that emanated even in the narrow space between us.For a few minutes, we walked in silence, but I wanted to talk; I just didn’t know about what. I wanted to get closer to him. I was starting to behave like a girl who had never done anything. Likewise, I had already done some things with him; there was no reason to act so timidly."You’re quiet," he said, finally.Smile lightly, without looking directly at him. "Just thinking." It was a lie, of course."In me?" The question came quickly. If I wasn’t shy before, I would be now.My heart popped, and I felt the blush go up my face. "Maybe," I replied, trembling. I wasn’t like that.He stopped walking. It was sudden, forcing me to stop too. When I looked up, he stared at me
