تسجيل الدخولMatthias moved through the ruined hall like a force of nature.
With one hard motion, he tore a berserker in half. Before the next one could even recover, he snapped its head clean off in a single brutal strike, sending it crashing across the blood-slick floor.One by one, the last of the berserkers fell.When the final beast collapsed, Matthias shifted back into his human form, breathing hard, blood spattered across his hands and arms.Around him, the Mist members withdrew frThe banquet was slowly winding down.Music still drifted from the hall, softer now, mixed with quiet laughter and the low clink of glasses. Most of the guests had moved into smaller groups, content to let the night settle. Liliana slipped away from the last of the well-wishers and stepped out onto the wide stone balcony that overlooked the mountains.The moment the glass doors closed behind her, the noise of the celebration faded into a distant murmur. Cool night air brushed against her skin, carrying the clean scent of pine and distant snow. A nearly full moon hung above the peaks, washing the stone railing in pale silver light. Below, the dark forest stretched endlessly, quiet and still under the weight of the mountains.Clementine followed a moment later. He closed the doors carefully, sealing the warmth of the hall behind them, and came to stand beside her. Close enough that their shoulders almost touched, but not quite.Liliana rested he
The Ancestral Hall of Winterchase had been transformed.Soft golden light spilled from crystal fixtures, catching on the ancient stone pillars and the long tables dressed in silver and white. Fresh flowers lined the walls, white blooms mixed with the rare Lunar bloom flowers that had been carefully arranged for the night. The air carried the quiet scent of pine from the surrounding mountains and the warmer fragrance of the feast waiting to be shared.Every allied pack had sent its leaders in person. They stood in formal attire, each one carrying the quiet weight of their position, yet tonight none of them looked untouchable. They waited with genuine smiles for the guest of honor.When Liliana appeared at the top of the stairs, the hall fell into a soft hush.She wore a silver dress that caught every light and seemed to glow from within. A delicate tiara, chosen by both Hannah and Shaina, rested in her dark hair. Tiny gemstones embedded in her
The funeral was held in private.Only those who had loved Andrea in life were allowed to stand beneath the dark canopy of trees as her remains were laid to rest. No outsiders. No formal announcements. Just the quiet grief of a pack that had finally been given the truth. Vladclaw closed its borders for a full week. Guards stood at every entrance. The territory itself seemed to hold its breath, giving the living space to mourn without interruption.When the week ended, Hibiscus returned to his duties.He carried the weight of what had been lost, but he no longer allowed it to keep him from the work of an Alpha. Decisions were made. Orders were given. The pack, still raw from the revelations, began the slow process of steadying itself under his command once more.Liliana and her parents left the same day.The private plane carried them back to Redborne territory under a gray morning sky. Little was said during the flight. Shaina held Liliana clos
Footsteps approached through the dark.Hibiscus lowered his head and slowly sank to the ground so Liliana could climb down safely. Mud and swamp water still clung to both of them. The heavy scent of wet earth and decay followed them like a second skin.Matthias and Shaina were the first to reach them. The moment they stepped out of the estate, their eyes found the small figure of their daughter and the Alpha beside her.“Liliana! You...you snuck out with Alpha Hibiscus? I told you we could do your plan in the morning. Why can’t you-”Matthias’s voice rose in a low, angry growl, but it was cut short by a sharp pinch from Shaina. The rare, hard look she gave him made him fall silent at once. She simply pointed.Matthias followed her gaze.His words died in his throat.Hibiscus carefully took the skeleton from Liliana's arms. The moment the weight left her, he dropped to his knees and pulled the remains tightly against his chest.People from the man
Hibiscus shifted into his massive brown wolf without a word. Fur rippled over muscle. Bones lengthened. His senses exploded open, every scent sharper, every sound clearer, the faint, broken pull of the mate bond suddenly louder in his chest. Liliana didn’t give him time to sink into the grief that threatened to swallow him whole. She knew delay would only make the search harder. She looked at him, voice quiet but unyielding. “I’ll only let you grieve properly when you have a body to grieve over. Until then, we keep moving.” Hibiscus lowered his heavy frame to the damp ground. Liliana climbed onto his broad back, small fingers curling deep into the thick fur at his shoulders. The two of them left the garden alone, swallowed by the night. Hibiscus forced his mind deeper into the shattered bond, searching for whatever fragile thread still connected him to Andrea. The effort sent sharp pain through his skull. His heart slammed unevenly against
Hibiscus’s low whimpers filled the quiet garden.They were soft, broken sounds that rose from deep in his chest, as if something inside him was still cracking open. Fragments of memory flickered behind his eyes, moments of rage, of blood, of a woman’s voice he could no longer clearly hear. Each piece only made the hollow space in his heart feel wider.Liliana sat down beside the massive brown wolf without fear. Her small hand reached out and rested gently against his thick fur, stroking slowly.“Hibiscus,” she said softly, “tell me where Luna Andrea is. I need to know everything… from you.”Her touch carried the quiet silver of her soothing ability. The grief in his mind began to settle, just enough for the endless whimpering to fade. The great wolf turned his head and looked at her. Then the fur receded. Bones shifted. In a few heartbeats Hibiscus knelt beside her in human form, bare to the cool night air, head bowed.His voice came out rough and
The dining hall went completely still the moment Matthias' voice filled the room. Everyone froze. The servants sat stiff in their chairs. Liliana was still crying loudly in his arms, her small body shaking. Matthias walked forward with heavy steps. “What happened here?” His voice was low and
Shaina returned home after her week away, and the moment Matthias heard she was back, he left everything and rushed to the mansion. They spent the next few days locked in their bedroom, barely coming out. He fucked her hard and deep every chance he got, making up for lost time. Shaina submitted c
After Richard had fully used Paloma, he leaned back in the chair with a satisfied grunt. He fixed his clothes quickly, then gave her ass a sharp slap. With a grin, he slid two fingers back into her dripping pussy, scooping up his own thick cum. He brought them to her lips and pushed them inside.
On the third day apart from Shaina, Matthias felt the emptiness like a constant ache in his chest. His wolf paced restlessly inside him, craving her touch, her warmth, the way she always submitted so perfectly to him. Work at Redborne Tower dragged on, and every quiet moment made the mate bond pu
