MasukLeonaEverything was moving too fast. Two rogues charged to grab my hands, and I stopped one with a kick to his crotch and cracked another’s jaw with my fist, bone splintering on impact. But the split second I was distracted dealing with those two, another one slapped me hard. My face snapped to the side, and I tasted copper.Alma clawed to shift, but I couldn’t allow it — the club was full of humans.The rogue leader grabbed my jaw, and I shoved back, headbutting him hard enough to white out my vision.“Fucking bitch, you’ll pay for that,” he roared, extending a claw toward my face while I was desperately throwing punches at two others.The blow never came. Brian lunged, knocking the leader off his feet and straddling him, punching relentlessly — the kind of violence that had no mercy in it.Garrison was already pinning another rogue to the wall, and Stellan knocked two of them unconscious in a single sweep. I drove my elbow into the fourth one’s skull, and his body went limp on the
Stellan I couldn’t hide forever. I managed to slip into the shower only while Leona was away at combat training, but I couldn’t avoid the planning of the mating ceremony. Two days remained until our mating ceremony. A fake mating — yet more and more, it was beginning to feel real to me. “Make it real. End things with Sybilla for good,” Tyr barked. I gave a slight shake of my head in denial. I couldn’t do that. I had given Sybilla my word: no matter who duty placed at my side, my heart would remain hers. An Alpha who broke his promises was not worthy of being an Alpha at all. I entered my mother’s lounge. Mother, Garrison, Emiliya, and Leona were sitting on the sofa, picking at refreshments and chatting. Leona lifted her eyes to me, her hand with a pastry frozen mid-air, her gaze searching mine for answers. I turned away and took the seat farthest from her. My mother’s eyebrows shot up in confusion, but she said nothing. Neither did Leona — she simply went back to devouring her
Leona "Gari," I said, mimicking Emiliya's voice perfectly before dropping into my own dead-serious tone, "I am not blind. You always watch Emiliya when she isn't looking. When she smiles, your eyes light up too." "Luna, you're overthinking," he replied, his eyes darting around uncomfortably. "Emiliya and I grew up together. Naturally, I care about my best friend's sister." "Caring is one thing, Garrison, but looking at her like she’s the most precious thing in the world is another. Don't take me for a fool. Are you doubting to approach her because you're afraid of how Stellan will react?" Garrison’s lips pressed into a thin, hard line. He hesitated. "It’s not just about Stellan. Emiliya's mate died, and I don't want to push her past her limits—" "You're afraid of rejection," I cut him off. He nodded, letting out a deep sigh. "I also don't want to hurt her. Her heart still belongs to her mate." "He's dead. She’s alive, and she needs to move on." Garrison stopped dead
Rebecca I quickly ran to the garden the moment the meeting room door started to open, but I had already heard everything. I could not believe my ears—Leona was a shameless slut, rolling around in bed with Erik. I couldn't see the video, but I heard all the moans and groans and their smutty dialogue. And Stellan just closed his eyes to it? Leona wasn't even a great catch anyway. Yes, she had huge boobs and the kind of ass that grabbed attention from afar because it was bigger than the New Century Global Center, but the rest of her body was as muscular as a male's. She could break a neck just by squeezing her thighs together. She looked like a cartoonish, extra-large-booty caricature with a muscular body. And her manners? The curses she could spout so casually were worse than what the lowliest rogue male would dare to say. And hanging on Stellan so shamelessly… I had known Stellan for years—Leona was totally not his type. I remembered wh
StellanI could feel Leona stiffen and turn pale, staring at the stone as if she were under a spell.“Do not be afraid. I’ve got this,” I whispered in her ear, but she just locked her eyes with mine, looking completely crushed. Never had I seen this proud she-wolf looking so devastated.“But—” she mumbled softly.“No buts. Everything will be okay,” I told her softly in return, lifting her from my lap and placing her back on the chair as I strode to the middle of the room.“I have nothing to hide,” I announced, taking the stone from the Council Head.The crowd murmured.Yes, it was going to be tricky for me to pass the test since the stone could sense lies, but I had faith in myself. Erik looked as if he had already won, his lips pulled into a satisfied grin, and I wanted nothing more than to erase that arrogant smile from his face.But when I looked back at Leona, suddenly looking so fragile and vulnerable, I kn
One of the council members stood up and announced loudly, “Alpha Stellan, we came here to rectify the complaint submitted to us by Alpha heir Erik, who claims that you have lied to your Elders and the Council. You stated previously that you took the virginity of your mate, the future Luna of the North Storm pack, Leona Lombardi, and that the mating ceremony is scheduled for the 21st of this month—which is in four days. Alpha Erik states that Leona is his fated mate, that he already consummated the bond with her previously, and that you lied to the Council for personal gain—specifically, to mate with Alpha Erik’s mate to be crowned King of the North. Do you have anything to say to this?”My breath hitched. Yes, I had made a mistake by having sex with Erik before because I loved him and truly believed we were destined to be together, just as the Moon Goddess intended. Never in my wildest dreams did I expect my virginity to be the main topic of a Council discussion and pack gossip. I fel
