It's now a little after ten at night. Roman and I are outside, getting ready to go for a run. He's leading me to the forest. We're both wearing robes since we spent the entire day naked anyways. We ended up having sex three more times; what can I say? It's never enough. Tomorrow is a full moon, so the entire forest is bathed in moonlight and looks so beautiful. I shrug my robe off as he shifts. His wolf is magnificent; he's enormous, standing as tall as a grizzly bear with fur almost as black as Tamisra's. He has large brown eyes and huge paws that could easily crush my head. I walk up to him, run my fingers through his fur, and kiss his big head. He rubs against me and licks my stomach while I giggle; yeah, definitely just a big puppy. I'm a little nervous as I call Tamisra forward. Alpha Gunther was pissed my wolf was black; typically, only Alpha wolves were black. In fact, I don't think there's ever been a recorded black wolf who wasn't an Alpha. She was so black she had hints of

I wake up to Roman's alarm, groaning when I realize I have to get up with him too. Today was my first day working in his office, and Gamma Max will be waiting for me to show me what to do. It's just scanning and filing, so hopefully, he doesn't need to stick around too long. I liked Gamma Max but did not want to be around anyone today. I even thought about going back to my room, but I would just miss Roman anyways. Weirdly, I hadn't spent a night on this territory without him since the first day, and I was completely content with that.I was shocked when he told me he was part demon, but it made me feel better about my own possible demon genes. Now that I had time to think about and accept it, it wasn't that bad. I don't know who or where the genes came from in my family, but I was relieved to hear it could skip generations; I was worried my mom had cheated on my dad or something. But she wouldn't do that, so it must have skipped a couple of us; like Roman said can happen. "You can c

I laugh darkly as I approach the incubus. I will have to play this smart; if I attack right now, he could teleport, or portal, as we call it, but the fact is I need to detain him. I need to know what he knows about Amara, how he knows about it, and what the end game was. She's never expressed any type of leftover affection she might have for him. But I am genuinely unsure if she'd be okay with torturing him for information. But she has every right to know about this, so I will have to tell her before I do anything. 'Max, I need you to bring me some devilsbane ASAP,' I send through the mindlinkWhen I stand in front of the fucker, he visibly pales. Demon's scents are undetectable to any other species, a defense tactic bestowed upon us by Hades after we escaped slavery by the Angels over three thousand years ago. It's how my pack can't detect my other side and apparently how Red Moon was unable to scent the incubus among them. I have to give credit where credit is due, incubi are the

Mate. She was my mate. Adonis howled in my head, not caring about the destruction she was causing around us. Her black eyes never left mine as her lips curved into a smile I knew wasn't one of her kind ones. No, this smile showed two rows of terrifying serrated fangs. Her lips curled at an unnatural angle, reaching her eyes that glowed as she looked down. She drew her hands out and let out another literal earth-shattering scream. The little ground left that I was floating above crumbled beneath me, falling down to the depths of the Underworld where our kind resided. I was too far away from her, and she was definitely stronger than me. She just opened up a portal straight to the Underworld, and if I didn't stop her, this wouldn't end well. Just when I thought I knew what to do, her eyes glowed white, stopping me in my tracks. She floated higher, reached her hands straight above her head, and shot out a blinding light that I could not look at. I watched as the points in the sky where

I know she's hurting; I can feel it. I can feel her guilt, her anguish, and the worthlessness she feels. But we have to deal with this now; I can't lose her. We both shower in silence, me washing her and her washing me. I can feel her love through the bond too, which is a nice little silver lining in the turmoil of her feelings. Once we're done, we head downstairs to my office. I had already linked Seth and Aston to be there waiting. Max will be doing training today, so I'll fill him in later. He needs to be up to speed on everything, considering he doesn't even know I'm a hybrid. When we walk into my office, Aston, always the dimwit, speaks. "Hey, Luna!" he says, clapping her shoulder.I have to laugh because I feel confusion, anger, and then realization run through her emotions. I guess she forgot she was mated to an Alpha. She glares at me, probably feeling my amusement, and I pretend to choke on a cough very unconvincingly. She cracks a smile, but any amusement she had dies the
