It was one of the greatest moments in her life. As Ciara slumped in Scott’s arms, with her eyes closed and a wide smile on her face, there was a slightest scare that it was just a dream. She was even afraid to open her eyes. She was afraid that he would disappear from her side and she just stared at the empty space in her bedroom.“Ciara.”She heard him call her name, and she felt his fingers press against her waist. She opened her eyes and relief filled her heart when she saw him was still by her side, hugging her tightly.After their first orgasm, they did it several more times until the moon was no longer at the top of the highest sky.Scott picked her up and carried her under a nearby tree, then held her face to face and she buried her face in the crook of his neck, inhaling his scent.“Let me tell you something,” he mumbled.“What?” Her voice sounded weak with tiredness, but she knew that this tiredness was only temporary. Her wolf just kept growling inside her head, begging her

The Dust Paradise was packed with visitors. Smoke and the smell of sweat and wood polish filled the air. Scott wedged himself through the crowd as he walked into the place. His eyes rounded in fear when they caught a girl who was standing on the table right in the middle of the room.It was Ciara. She was carrying a bottle of beer in one hand and a glass of liquor, which looked like whiskey, in the other. She screamed and laughed along with the crowd surrounding her, twisting her body to the music.Anger burned Scott in an instant. The first thing he wanted to do was punch all the men in there, then burn the place to the ground.He clenched his fists, shoving roughly those who got in his way. They were all thrown aside and crashed into other visitors. Several people protested, but they shut their mouths as Scott glared at them.“Move,” Scott growled at the men surrounding the round table where Ciara was dancing.Ciara turned and looked at him, then a big smile spread across her face.

“What?”There was a hint of surprise in that one word, and after it, disappointment etched on Scott’s face. Ciara had mentally prepared herself for his disappointed reaction, but her heart sank when she saw it firsthand. She felt like she had hurt him and herself.“Why?” was his next question. He scooted closer and changed his position. His eyes were fixed on her face, and the corners of his eyebrows furrowed slightly, emphasizing his disenchantment. “What’s wrong?” he asked again.“No, nothing’s wrong.” She shook her head, averting her gaze. She held her pillow even tighter. “It’s just... I don’t think your pack members will accept me.”“What are you saying? Of course, they will accept you! They have to accept you because you’re the mate that the Moon Goddess destined for me! No matter how resistant they are, they must accept that reality!”“But I’m not ready!” Ciara snapped, and then she held her breath while covering her mouth. “I’m... I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to yell at you.”“Tha

Scott thought his days would go perfectly from here on. In one month, he would announce to all the members of the pack that Ciara would be Luna for Silvercrest. They would lead this pack together and live happily ever after.However, that dream would shatter on that afternoon. After their routine training was over and all the patrol team members had gone home, someone knocked on the main team office door. Scott and Burke were discussing the rearrangement of sub-team members, and they both looked up towards the door.“Hi, Scott,” it was Mila, the alliance leader. Scott’s heart seemed to stop when Mila said, “Do you have a moment? I want to talk to you.” She paused for a moment. “It’s about the rogue.”Scott exchanged glances with Burke, and Burke nodded, understanding that Scott had asked him to leave the room and give him space so he could talk to Mila.“Please, have a seat.” Burke offered Mila his seat as he stood up. Mila stepped in and smiled at him.“Thanks.” Then she sat across f

What was he doing here?Scott cursed inside, and his distaste for Gordon’s appearance was reflected in his facial expressions and gestures. He clenched his fists at his sides as he glared at him.“Sorry, I didn’t knock first.” Gordon shrugged. He didn’t look sorry at all. “I was looking for you because you weren’t in the study, and I heard noises from this room,” he told Hugh.Scott knew he was lying. He must have seen Scott coming here and wanted to find out what Scott was up to.Gordon stepped inside with his hands behind his back. He smiled, the same fake smile he always gave Scott.“I heard Mila came to Silvercrest,” he said after he stopped beside Hugh. Gordon looked left and right as if searching for something, before looking at Scott and asking, “Where is she now?”“She’s gone.”Gordon sneered while nodding his head. He looked satisfied. “So, my guess was right all along, right? Ciara is the rogue the Alliance is looking for. Not the black wolf like you thought.” He half scoffe
