Chapter 50

Drew I pressed my nose to the ground as I walked through the pack grounds in my wolf form, the slight breeze rustling over my fur and tickling my sensitive ears. The incline of the foothills on the edge of the territory could be a deterrent to lesser wolves. But with my beta blood and my magic and newfound fairy protector powers, it was easy peasy lemon squeezy for me. Except for the fact that I couldn’t fucking find June. We were supposed to be training together, but she had disappeared. She portaled herself away from us as soon as her dad had turned his back to talk to Myles for one second. Fucking fairies, I thought to myself as I tried to catch her scent. Ever since Luke left yesterday, she’d been sulking and moping, and all of our attempts to cheer her up had fallen flat. Not even Thor had provided an adequate distraction. I felt her through the bond, felt her slight melancholy and worry, and then I finally found her scent. My wolf’s tail wagged, and I bounded off into the

Chapter 51

Lukas The library in the palace was a beautiful room, although clearly neglected. There was one lonely werewolf manning the extensive collection of books, and dust covered nearly every surface. The rows of shelves extended back as far as I could see, and up three levels as well. So many books, left to time and inattention. The werewolf paid us no mind when we entered. He didn’t even look up from his newspaper when we walked in, and Dave and I waited to be acknowledged, but after a moment, we realized that would not happen, so we just went on our way. At least the space wasn’t locked up or inaccessible. Just completely disregarded. The king clearly needed to have access to some of the books here, which is why he kept it open, but he didn’t really want anyone to use it, which is why we had a hard time finding it at first, and why it looked the way it did. Not only was there dust on every surface, but most of the lightbulbs were burnt out or well on their way, some of them occasional

Chapter 52

Juniper Lukas’s ceremony was in two days, and the packhouse was looking like a warehouse for party decorations. The linens and centerpieces — minus the flowers — had been delivered, and we were spending the morning in the dining room, going through it all to make sure everything was there, and nothing was forgotten. The next day, we would start setting everything up outside in the courtyard, and the day after, the flowers would be delivered and set up as well for the ceremony that evening. To say I was a little stressed would be an understatement. I was EXCEEDINGLY stressed. I did not understand how Luna Claire could look so calm and composed about everything that needed to get done in time, when I was wound up on the inside. I felt as though even the tiniest bit of added stress would cause me to snap. As excited as I was about Lukas’s ceremony, I also couldn’t wait for it to all be over. Although, that also meant I would become luna soon, which meant I would do things like this by

Chapter 53

Lukas Once the door to my dad’s office shut, all I wanted to do was sigh in relief and shake off the heebie-jeebies that I had ever since Bianca walked through the dining hall doors at the palace. Everything about her was grating. Her voice, her personality, her over-the-top sweetness. My wolf was constantly growling at me in my head, baring and gnashing his teeth. I had questionable control over him. All he wanted to do was shift and run out of the packhouse to go kill a rabbit or a deer and bring it to June’s cottage as an apology and to show her our strength and prove to her we could take care of her. Her reaction had broken me and had almost ruined everything I had been plotting since the moment Bianca uttered that awful word at the banquet. Mate. I had waited so long to hear that word said to me, and now it had been, but not by the female who should have said it. When Bianca had sidled up to me and called me “Lukie,” all I wanted to do was shove her to the side and pull Jun

Chapter 54

Finn I was pissed. I was so fucking pissed at that fucker. I was going to kill him. I was about ready to march over to the packhouse and demand to find out what sort of game he was playing with his mate. I knew firsthand the damage that kind of rejection could do. I wished I didn’t, but I did. At least with my mate, there hadn’t been another woman in the picture. Just a misunderstanding. I wasn’t sure what was going on with him and that Bianca bitch. Drew and I had both tried to link him when he introduced her, but he blocked us out faster than I could blink. I wanted to trust him, trust that he wasn’t completely fucking up his life, trust that he had something up his sleeve with this whole situation, but fuck, it was hard to have faith in him with how it affected June. Her reaction in the driveway was heartbreaking. To see her being so strong when he was outside, to then watch her break down once he was gone — it was awful. It pissed off both my dragon and me. We had both become e

Chapter 55

Lukas I adjusted my black tie as I stood in front of the mirror in my bathroom, my stomach a jumble of knots, my heart beating erratically in my chest. It was a mixture of excited nerves because of my upcoming ceremony, and anxious nerves because of the impending attack from the royals. I set all of my plans, and everything and everyone was in place for the ceremony and what would happen after. I could only hope that nothing would go awry. A soft knock came at my door, and then it cracked open. “Lukie? Are you ready?” Bianca asked me, her eyelashes blinking. I bit back my growl at the ridiculous nickname and gripped the edge of the counter tightly with my hands before I turned to look at her. If I wasn’t already mated to the most stunning woman in the realm, then I’m sure I would have found Bianca beautiful. Well, that and the fact that she was a witch in disguise, and a potential spy for the king. I hadn’t missed how she’d looked right at the mark on June’s arm that linked her

Chapter 56

Juniper “Mate…” I gasped out slowly. Lukas’s eyes were still locked on mine, and as soon as the word was out of my mouth, his lips twitched into a smile, and he nodded his head to me, a silent confirmation that he was, in fact, my mate. My real mate. Not just a chosen bond, but a true bond. A fated bond. “What?!” Drew exclaimed. “You can feel it now?” “I can see it,” I told him, looking down at the gold thread connecting me to Lukas. I brushed my hand through it, and although it looked solid, it was not tangible. It was clearly something that only I could see. “I don’t understand,” I muttered. “Why am I only just now feeling this?” I asked him. “I turned 19 weeks ago.” “I don’t know, Princess,” Drew answered as he glanced at Lukas. “I’m sure there’s a reasonable explanation, that your parents will tell us when—” “Wait, what did you mean when you said, ‘you can feel it now’?” I asked him, my shocked brain finally registering his words. “I… uh — well, you see—” He looked over a

Chapter 57

Lukas “Mate…” Juniper said from her spot hidden among the trees. My lips twitched as I tried to hold back the broad grin that was threatening to break through. She knew. She finally knew. I kept my eyes locked on hers and I nodded my head just slightly, just enough so she could have confirmation from me that she was mine. But I couldn’t let my gaze linger on her for too long. The ceremony was almost done. Dad had officially transferred the power to me, but there were still a few ceremonial steps we needed to complete. I had to tear my eyes away from her and put them back on my parents, who were both wearing shit-eating grins. Whatever had happened, whatever the reason for her finally feeling the bond, they both knew. They both had always known what it was and when she would feel it. I wanted to be upset with them, but right now wasn’t the time. I needed to finish these last steps and then we had a potential battle to worry about, before I could go get my June and then yell at my

Chapter 58

Juniper We escaped a world of chaos in one realm, and entered a completely different type of chaos in another. The clearing we landed in was filled with fairies of various types — although they were mainly Fae — and the Midnight Moon pack members. The real pack members, not the ones from the illusion planted in the courtyard by my mother’s strong Fae trickery magic. My birth mother, that is. They were chatting and talking, and the pack children were running around and playing, completely carefree and without a worry about what was happening back on their pack lands. The volume of the gathered people slowly diminished as they saw us, and saw Myles bleeding in his mate’s arms. The dull roar became dead silence, broken only by one shrill scream. “My baby!” my mom — Sofia — cried out, tears streaming down her face as she ran towards us to see her injured son. Leo growled slightly as she reached out to touch him, pulling Myles closer to his chest. She snarled and raised her gaze to h

Chapter 59

Lukas After the howl ended, and the pack and gathered fairies left to retreat to their quarters for the evening, I stayed in the clearing, leaning against the tree with my mate in my arms. Her presence and the love I felt flowing towards me from her end of the bond — even without us being marked — helped a sense of momentary peace to settle within me. Losing my parents was painful, but having her with me made it seem bearable. I closed my eyes and buried my face back into her neck, inhaling her scent, which was now even more intoxicating than it had been when I first discovered our bond. When I opened my eyes again, we were on the floor of the clearing. My back was against the giant tree, and I held my June tightly against my chest, her eyes closed and her breathing deep and even in her sleep. I kissed her forehead, letting my lips linger there for a moment. My hand lazily stroked the skin exposed by the open back of her dress, then I lifted my head and let myself take in the bea
