CELESTE. The last two days felt surreal, and I didn’t want them to end. Darvin stayed with me while I continued with my daily routine. He would drive me to work, meet me for lunch, and then pick me up after work. And now, we were driving back to his city. I had filed an immediate leave of absence for a week, and my uncle approved it after I introduced Darvin to him. He was still in shock that I was mated to a wolf, but when he found out that Darvin was a friend of Caspian, he became more relaxed. Darvin also requested to speak with him alone, and although I wanted to know what they would talk about, I didn’t object and let them have their time. They were probably discussing things I was not aware of, but hopefully, Darvin would trust me enough to let me in on his circle. After that, we visited my mother, and she instantly fell in love with him. Who would not? Darvin knew how to charm females even without trying, and it was just making me swoon over him more. None of my boyfriends

SOFIA. "Are you okay? You look pale!" Celeste exclaimed, and in seconds, Dominic was already behind me. "Is the pain starting?" He asked as his hands held my arms as we moved to the area where I was supposed to crouch and wait for my shifting. I nodded my head as my eyes watered. I wanted to scream and cry, but knowing there were many warriors around, I didn’t want to appear weak in front of them. I wanted them to see me as a strong Luna. I sat on the ground and pulled my knees up against my chest before resting my head on them. Dominic was in front of me, smoothing his hand against my back. I could see worry flitting in his eyes, so I smiled at him. "I’m okay. I can take the pain…" I was trying to be brave, but pain suddenly hit me on my spine before it spread to every joint in my body. I gasped for air as I struggled to go on all fours, and this time I couldn’t stop the tears from trickling down my face. My whole body was burning from the inside, and it felt like every bone w

CELESTE. My eyes snapped open, and my lips automatically curled into a smile as Darvin’s light snoring reached my ears. My face was resting against his hard, naked torso, with his arms hugging me while my legs snaked around him. I would never get tired of mornings like this, wrapped up in his arms with my body totally sore from last night — or was it until early morning? I never had marathon sex until last night, and with my heat, as Darvin called it, it was shocking but amazing. I had no idea I was capable of being aroused and horny for a long period of time, but I think I was loving it! And Darvin was just wonderful. He tried to match my energy but was still making sure I was comfortable because, let’s face it, his strength was too strong for my human body, and I knew he was controlling himself not to crush me or break me whenever his lust for me took over him. I had always had great sex with Darvin, but last night was just mind-blowing. If someone even thought I could just walk

SOFIA. I had no idea how I would face him. I had no idea how I would get up from this. But I know I should. I am the Luna of this pack, and Dominic will be the only Alpha I will stand beside with. I pushed my body up, ready to pick myself up, when my nose was hit with something enticing. I subconsciously licked my lips as my eyes looked for the source of the smell, only to realize it was everywhere around me. I picked up Dominic’s pillow and slammed it on myface, my nose digging on the cloth that held his scent as my heart jumped out of my chest while my wolf, Amethyst, howled in my head. She growled her loudest and told me the words I’ve been wanting to hear since the clock ticked twelve. 'Mate! Pyro and Dominic are ours!' My body shook again as the tears just kept flowing down my face. I wanted to scream and ask the Goddess what happened, but I didn’t. Instead, I mumbled my silent prayer and gratitude to her. I didn’t care anymore what happened — if I missed the right time

DOMINIC. As soon as we received the news that the man we were looking for had already been found, we prepared for our journey down south. It would take us five hours to get there, but it was nothing if we would be able to get answers for Darvin. Lucas, Darvin, and I decided to go alone without any warriors with us. Three Alphas would be enough to protect each other, and we wanted to make sure our second and third in command, together with the best warriors, would be guarding our Lunas and our pack. Darvin was quiet the whole time. But he slipped up one time that he was wondering if the cure was illegal or harmful. He felt something was wrong because this man needed to be under the radar. So that’s what we were eager to find out. I hope he was wrong, and I hope we didn’t need to harm anyone for the cure. The door to a small house in what seemed to be a quiet community opened, and a man who looked like he was just in his late forties opened the door. If he was the man we were lookin
