Lydia’s POV

I should’ve left the moment he turned toward his closet. The moment Kaela came into his room like she owned the place, I should have slipped out, dignity intact, no suspicious raised.

But I didn’t.

Instead I stood there like I was glued to the floor, my breath shallow, chest tight, thoughts running wild in circles. He had his back to me now, fingers tugging at the buttons of his shirt like it was just any other night, like I wasn’t standing there, caught red-handed in the middle of a lie I could barely hold together.

The fabric slid off his shoulders in one smooth motion, revealing the strong curve of his back and the large muscle beneath. My throat dried instantly.

Gods.

I looked away, but not fast enough.

“What are you doing?” I asked, my voice a little higher than it should have been.

Leonidas paused only briefly, glancing at me over his shoulder. “What does it look like?”

My mouth parted. “But I’m still in the room.”

“And?” He turned back fully now, his brow lifted sli

  • When Monsters Mate   Chapter 23: Tantrum.

    Lydia’s POVRina and I sat on a long stone bench just beneath the arch of the eastern wing, a spot shaded by overhanging ivy and the slow crawl of golden sunrise. The estate had settled into quiet now, most wolves gone about their duties, the clamor from earlier fading into distant footsteps and muffled voices. It was just us, wrapped in the hush of morning, like time had slowed just to let us breathe.We’d caught up on so many things already. Rina told me all about her life back home, her job at the bookstore, the nosy manager who was always on her case, and Marcus.“We broke up,” she said, almost casually, brushing invisible lint from her sleeve.I blinked at her. “You did?”She nodded. “Finally.”I arched a brow. “Are you sure?”Rina rolled her eyes. “Yes, I’m sure. I mean, we still talk, but—”I gave her a knowing look.“Okay, okay,” she sighed. “We text sometimes. But I haven’t seen him in weeks, and I blocked him on everything… except email. You know, just in case.”I laughed, s

  • When Monsters Mate   Chapter 22: Unexpected Guest…

    Lydia’s POVAt first, I didn’t know where to put my hands.One rested awkwardly on his shoulder while the other hovered in the air like I was debating whether to touch a live flame. But eventually, as Leonidas adjusted me higher on his back without complaint, I let myself lean in. I wrapped my arms around his neck, gently, carefully, and allowed the warmth of his body to steady me. My forehead rested against the back of his shoulder, and for the first time that day, I exhaled without thinking of how I sounded.His back was broad and solid beneath me, his steps confident, unbothered by the extra weight. And though my cheeks burned in quiet embarrassment, there was a strange peace in it too, being carried. Not because I was weak or helpless, but because I was tired. And for once, someone noticed.I let my eyes drift shut for a moment, listening to the crunch of his boots against the forest floor, the occasional rustle of leaves above us, the soft night air brushing against my skin.Then

  • When Monsters Mate   Chapter 21: New Look

    Leonidas’s POVThere was yet another thing to resent about my bonded. She wasn’t just beautiful and distracting, she was type-A brilliant. Lydia had figured out in hours what my men and I had been breaking our backs over for months. I hated how much I respected that.She wasn’t just a beautiful face or a woman with lips I still tasted when I closed my eyes, she was intelligent. And not the annoying, know-it-all kind. The quiet, lethal sort. The kind you never see coming until you're already playing catch-up.It unsettled me. She unsettled me.I knew I was acting like an asshole, keeping my distance since that kiss. But I couldn’t let my composure slip in front of my men. I had built an image, controlled, indifferent, ruthless. That image was everything. One look at her, and I was ready to shatter it. Not because I was weak. But because I wanted to press my mouth to hers again, feel her breath hitch, her body melt into mine. I wanted to touch her, claim her, taste what she kept guarded

  • When Monsters Mate   Chapter 20: Fresh Trail.

    Lydia’s POVWe moved quietly through the thick underbrush toward the eastern border, the earth damp beneath our boots, the silence between us louder than anything.Leonidas walked ahead, shoulders squared and jaw tight, his attention fixed on Cassian and one of the other soldiers trailing beside him. His back was to me the entire time, cold, unreadable, distant, and I couldn’t stop staring at it, trying to find the man who had kissed me like he couldn’t help himself just hours ago.But whatever that had been… it was gone now. Buried. Or maybe shoved into some place he couldn’t let himself go back to. And Kaela was nowhere to be seen. I had expected her to attach herself to his side like usual, but this time, she was absent. Which somehow made his silence feel even louder.He hadn’t glanced at me once since we left.Not once.I kept thinking about that look on his face right before he pulled away from me in his office, so full of rage, need, and restraint that it felt like it had been

  • When Monsters Mate   Chapter 19: First Kiss

    Lydia’s POV“I thought you were going to say no,” I said with a quiet laugh, the relief in my voice more obvious than I’d intended.Leonidas tilted his head slightly, his lips twitching like he was fighting a smirk. “Why would I do that?” he asked, his voice low and smooth. His legs shifted wider apart where he leaned against the desk, his thighs parting like an invitation he didn’t have to say out loud.Gods.My brain stuttered, skipping back to earlier, his room, the space between us, the heat, the way his scent had clawed at me and wrapped itself around my throat. That tension, that unspoken charge still lingered, humming through my veins like it had never left. The memory alone sent an involuntary shiver down my spine.He was just so, large. So solid, so maddeningly powerful. He wasn’t the kind of male you looked at lightly. He was the kind that consumed space. Consumed thought.And I didn’t just want to feel him.I wanted to thirst him.The thought startled me. That particular hu

  • When Monsters Mate   Chapter 18: Light.

    LeonidasI watched Lydia walk away with my teeth gritted in frustration at the intrusion. Lydia’s shoulders were tight, fingers gripping her skirt like they were the only things keeping her upright. Her cheeks were still warm, flushed from what we almost did before Kaela barged in and shattered the moment.I hadn’t meant to get carried away. Last night had felt like a fever dream, her breathless voice calling my name, her insistence to stay beside me, the tremor in her hands as she cleaned my wounds, her tear-streaked cheeks when she saw the blood. I didn’t think Darian Morvain’s daughter could bleed like that, for anyone, least of all for me.I opened my eyes and she was still there, staring down at me like she didn’t understand what was happening inside her own chest. I knew the feeling. The plan had been simple: use her, break Darian from the inside out. The moment I laid eyes on him, I saw it, how much he valued her, how much it cut him to give her to me under the name of peace.A
