ZekeI came back from the High Council with ashes in my mouth. Elders’ decision was disgusting. How could they let Tonya go to my nemesis? They all knew that Ezra was a rogue my father hated. Even they all hated him. But they favored him as soon as Tonya rejected me, quickly turning their backs on me. Now I had one purpose left. Bring Tonya back to my pack. And Kill Ezra.For two days I did not sleep. Then the news reached me like a dagger in my chest. Tonya and Ezra married. The messenger barely finished the sentence before I pummeled him. My wolf roared so loud my vision went white. The room shook with it. I tore a tapestry from the wall. I threw a chair. I wanted to cross the border and rip Ezra apart with my teeth.Angie came in to calm me, wearing one of Tonya’s old dresses. She smelled like jasmine—the only smell that calmed me. “Zeke,” she murmured, stepping close. My wolf surfaced. I dragged her down and took what my wolf demanded. He pounded inside her as she gasped and moan
MandyJealousy tasted like metal on my tongue. It would not leave. Everywhere I looked, people smiled at Tonya like she was the Moon who had descended on earth. I wanted to wreck her wedding. I tried to slip past the guards twice, but Gamma Adam had turned the pack into a fortress. He stationed extra guards at every path. He checked every guest. He even scanned our own members as they entered the temple grounds. Around Tonya, he layered guards the way a mother wolf hides her pups. There was a circle after circle, always moving, always scanning. Because she was not just our Luna now, she was Alpha Ezra’s true mate. That made her precious, and almost untouchable.When the vows ended and cheers shook the trees, I couldn’t help that pang of jealousy hitting straight in my chest. If it were for me, I would snap the neck of that wolf-less bitch into two now. Gritting my teeth, I stepped away from the lights and called Angie.“I need your help, Angie,” I said. She laughed in a low and mean w
Tonya Ezra carried me to the bedroom in his arms. We were both naked, and since it was still dark, there were no people to see us. The moment we came in his room, he locked the door from inside and took me to bed. Both of us were still in the throes of pleasure and need.He put me on the bed, his cock already raging hard. “I can't get enough of you, baby,” he said in a rough voice. He pressed me with his body weight, his face hovering over mine.I brushed his jawline, his lips, his cheekbones with my fingers as if committing his curves to my memory once again. How did I get so lucky in life? Not only did I reject my mate, I got a second chance mate. Ezra’s love and bond for me was so pure as against what Zeke had for me. Zeke’s thoughts made me bitter. “Kiss me,” I demanded because I wanted to exorcize Zeke’s thoughts from me.Ezra lowered his mouth on mine and kissed me softly. With his tongue, he parted my lips and then plunged his tongue inside me. His hand went to my breasts which
TonyaMy butterflies lifted from him all at once, flying high into the night air. And then, as if pulled together by the Moon herself, they dashed higher and converged into the shape of a wolf, and gave way to the most anticipated event of my life. Next when I opened my eyes again, I found myself looking at a silvery-blue paw. Shocked, I blinked, wondering what had happened. I looked ahead of me at Shade, who was so thunderstruck that he didn’t move. Only continued to watch me. As if unable to believe what was happening, I moved to the stream nearby to catch my reflection in it. Amazement rippled through me when I saw a silver-blue wolf looking back at me. She was sleek, shining, her fur like flowing water. A glowing crescent moon sat on her forehead, the same color as my eyes.‘I am Nova,’ she said inside me. ‘Nice to meet you, Tonya.’ Stunned wasn’t even what could describe the moment. I was wolf-less, and now I had finally got my wolf? How was this possible? Nova chuckled. As if
Chapter 82Tonya The feast after the wedding was like nothing I had ever seen. Tables filled the clearing outside the Moon Temple. Lanterns on trees burned bright, and the smell of roasted meat, sweet breads, fruits, pastries and beverages mixed with the sound of music and laughter. Everyone looked joyous. Some began dancing around the fire pits, singing songs. Children ran around everywhere. It was as if the New Moon pack had erupted in happiness after a long time. And all this time, I didn’t see Mandy. Honestly, I didn’t care. Alphas, Lunas, and Elders came one by one to give us gifts. An Alpha gave me a silver crown made with moonstones. A Luna slid shiny bead bracelets onto my wrists. An Elder handed Ezra a small jar of black earth from his land. “For the first tree you plant together,” he said with a smile. Two Elders brought a clay jar with blessed water that I was supposed to have after the mating.Everyone blessed us, wished us joy, and then teased us.“Don’t make the Moon wa
Tonya As Ezra and I stepped into the sacred space inside the sanctum of the Moon Temple, I drew a sharp breath. I looked at the goddess and couldn’t help myself admiring her serene face. The full moon was glowing above her head. I noticed a butterfly fluttering over the crown on her head. It looked so beautiful that I stared at it for a moment, feeling the rhythm of its wings in my belly.I directed my gaze around us, and there were faces everywhere. Alphas and Lunas from every corner of the continent, Elders cloaked in silver-gray robes, our pack members, with their eyes wide and reverent, had graced us with their presence. The entire courtyard was alive, humming with expectation. My chest tightened with a mix of nerves and pride. Ezra’s warm hand found mine and tightened. He never looked away, keeping his golden eyes locked on mine as if there was no one else, nothing else, in this temple. The Shaman, Gustavo, stood at the base of the great statue of the Moon Goddess in a white r
