Enzo POV

I was drowning in her.

Nina’s body pressed against mine felt like pure sin wrapped in silk soft curves molding perfectly to every hard line of my frame, her heartbeat thundering against my chest in a frantic rhythm with my own.

Her scent spiced cranberry and cinnamon flooded my lungs, sweet and sharp and addictive, making Rex claw at the inside of my skull, demanding more. Her taste lingered on my tongue from that bourbon kissed kiss warm honey, dark smoke, and something uniquely her

    Dexter POVThe forest swallowed me and my warriors whole the moment we left the lightning split oak tree behind. Nina’s broken sobs still echoed in my ears like sweet music, but I didn’t linger on them. Weakness had its uses, and right now hers was serving me perfectly.I had the patrol schedule. The first real cracks in Silverfang’s defenses. Enzo’s precious little mate was delivering exactly what I needed, piece by trembling piece. But it still wasn’t enough. The protection spell’s anchor stone remained the ultimate prize the heart of their ancient magic. Once I had its location, Silverfang would fall from the inside out.And I had the perfect tool already in motion.Lily Harper.I glanced at my watch as the black SUV ate up the miles back toward the human city. 7:42 a.m. She will be finishing her early journalism seminar soon. Perfect timing.I had spent the last few days tightening the noose around her with surgical precision. “Chances of meetings in the library. Late night text

  • The moon goddess chose wrong: twice   CHAPTER 51: The Confession

    Enzo POVHer head rested against my chest, warm and heavy, her breathing still uneven from the tears she’d tried so hard to hide. In that moment she looked so genuinely honest vulnerable, open, like the walls she kept rebuilding were finally crumbling. I think she was scared.I wanted to believe her.I wanted to wrap my arms tighter around her, kiss the top of her head, and tell her that whatever storm she was facing, we would face it together.But I couldn’t.Because less than an hour ago I had watched her sneak out.I had rushed to the border patrol meeting, but my mind refused to settle. The mind wasn't at peace I was restless and uneasy, like something was definitely wrong.Halfway through Max’s report on thinning patrols near the eastern ridge, I stood up mid-sentence, muttered something about needing air, and left the war room without explanation.Something was wrong with my mate.I returned to our quarters quietly, expecting to find her still asleep or perhaps reading by the w

  • The moon goddess chose wrong: twice   CHAPTER 50: I SEE RIGHT THROUGH YOUR LIES

    Nina POVThe forest felt difficult to walk through on the way back.Every step sent dread right through me, I was cold from the inside out, the kind of chill that came from handing over your soul piece by piece and still owing more.The paper I’d given Dexter burned in my memory secondary armory entrance, patrol times, and the weak points I’d observed during my short time here. Information that could get wolves killed. Wolves who had smiled at me during the crowning feast. Wolves who now called Luna, they trusted me and trusted Enzo.I climbed back onto the lower roof of the Alpha quarters the same way I had left, muscles aching from the tension.The balcony doors were still cracked open. I slipped inside my heart beating so fast, I quickly changed back into the soft lounge clothes I left on the bed. The note I had scribbled earlier was still there no one touched it,I crumpled it and tossed it into the fireplace, watching the edges blacken and curl until it burned to ashes.The break

  • The moon goddess chose wrong: twice   CHAPTER 49: The Traitor

    Nina POVThe bathroom mirror was fogged from the cold water I’d splashed on my face, but it still showed me the truth I didn’t want to see: swollen lips, flushed cheeks, wild eyes, and the faint red marks on my neck where Enzo’s beard had scraped against my skin. I looked like a woman who had just been thoroughly kissed by her mate.I looked like a traitor.Sky was still purring in the back of my mind, smug and satisfied. That was hot. His hands, the way he pinned us, the growl when you gasped… I could feel how much he wanted us. Why are you hiding in here? Go back out there and finish what we started.“Because I can’t,” I whispered to my reflection. My voice cracked. “Because in less than an hour I have to sneak out to meet Dexter outside the pack and hand over the armory codes. Because my father is missing two fingers already and if I don’t show up, he’ll lose more. Because I just let myself fall into Enzo’s arms like I deserve to be there, when I know I didn't.”Sky huffed, curling

  • The moon goddess chose wrong: twice   CHAPTER: 48: Cozy Apartment

    Lily POV The first time that night a tiny flicker of fear gripped me, and my heart was beating so fast. He glanced over at me, “I’m sorry, Lily. I should have mentioned it earlier. I need to stop by my apartment for just a minute. There's a book I promised to lend you for your paper. The one on ancient myths? It’s on my shelf, and I completely forgot to give it to you and the chances of my coming into the school tomorrow are slim. I have an emergency. Traffic really is a nightmare, and I figured we could swing by on the way. I won’t keep you long. Promise.” His voice was so calm, so reassuring, that the flicker of worry vanished instantly, that was a valid reason to go to his house. Plus, he wasn’t some stranger, he was Professor Dexter Kane the man who stayed after class to answer my endless questions, who remembered I liked extra foam on my coffee, who looked at me like my thoughts were the most interesting thing he’d heard all day. There was nothing predatory in his tone.

  • The moon goddess chose wrong: twice   CHAPTER 47: THE VELVET TRAP

    Lily POVThe evening air had turned cooler than I expected“Traffic’s brutal tonight. It would take hours for your Uber to get here, and I can’t leave you out here waiting.”I couldn't stay here that jerk could come back before my Uber gets here, and what if he didn't come back alone?Professor Kane…. Dexter, as he’d insisted I call him outside of class stood a few feet away, hands in the pockets of his dark coat, the wire rimmed glasses catching the glow of a nearby lamp. He looked effortlessly put together as always like he didn't just threaten a man “I figured we could ride together,” he continued smoothly, I could drop you off at your dorm. Is that fine?”I hesitated for half a second. Getting into a professor’s car at night felt a little bit bold.The kind of thing good girls like me didn’t usually do. But Dexter had never once made me feel anything but safe. He was kind. Patient beyond reason with my endless questions about ancient myths, weird creatures, and hidden worlds. He
