Vivienne

My whole body was screaming in pain as I tried to sit up but that kick had done real damage, the kind that didn’t just bruise flesh but shook bone and rattled organs loose inside you.

Every breath felt wrong, shallow and sharp like my ribs had turned into knives pointing inward, and for a terrifying moment I genuinely wondered if one of them had cracked deep enough to puncture something important.

Healing wasn’t coming. There was no comforting hum of a wolf trying to knit torn tissue

    Chapter 200: The Veiled LunaVivienne POVLance returned with a long black veil that covered the lower half of my face and fell softly over my shoulders. It was plain, without jewels or unnecessary decoration, which was perfect because I wasn’t trying to impress anyone. I only wanted enough concealment to stop the visitors from recognizing me too quickly and enough fabric between my mouth and the room to hide the insults I might whisper when they started speaking nonsense.I tied it securely behind my head, adjusted the folds and looked at Lance. “Can you still tell when I’m angry?”He studied me carefully, then his gaze moved to my eyes.“Yes.”I frowned. “That was not the answer I wanted.”“Your eyes are very expressive, My Luna.”“They express murder?”“Sometimes.”Ivy laughed inside my head. “The cloth is covering the wrong part.”“I’m starting to regret waking you up.”“You’d be dead without me.”“Details.”Lance opened the heavy doors, and I took one slow breath before stepping

  • Theirs To Possess And Ruin   201: Please Don’t Make Me Hit Anyone

    Vivienne POVI had only wanted a quiet walk.That was all.No meetings, reports, elders or tense conversations about Zach, my empire or the tiny pup currently turning every person around me into an overprotective lunatic. Just fresh air, a slow path through the pack and maybe ten peaceful minutes where nobody asked what I had eaten, whether I felt dizzy or why I had been standing for longer than five seconds. Apparently, that was too much to ask.I was halfway through one of the quieter paths behind the main residence when hurried footsteps sounded behind me. I sensed Beta Lance before he called out, but I still turned when his voice reached me, only to find the man rushing toward me with an expression that already told me I was about to inherit someone else’s problem.“My Luna.”He stopped several feet away and bowed.Then he kept bowing.I stared.He was bent so low that for one ridiculous second, I wondered if he had dropped something in the grass and was too embarrassed to admit i

  • Theirs To Possess And Ruin   200: A Favor

    Vivienne pov. The twins worked quickly. Maya’s magic moved through my chest, cooling the burning in my throat, while Mara focused on my stomach and the faint pulse of the pup. I closed my eyes, too exhausted to resist when Kane’s hand found mine. Asher sat near my head, brushing damp hair away from my face, while Ryker remained at my other side with his palm against my shoulder. Dante stood close, silent and rigid, every part of him waiting for the twins to speak.“The pup?” Kane finally asked.Mara didn’t answer immediately, and his grip on my hand tightened.“The pup is still there,” she said at last. “The pulse is frightened and the mother’s distress affected it, but it’s holding.”All four men exhaled at once and I could feel the relief through the bond and I kinda feel guilty for making them worry too much and I feel stupid for endangering my baby.I opened my eyes. “And me?”Maya gave me an angry look that was softened by tears. “You pushed your body too far.
