My father didn’t waste much time; as soon as we arrived in the North Pole, he urged me to enter the cabin of our Alpha, even though he wasn’t there to welcome us.“Dad, wouldn’t it be better if we waited outside?”I looked around, admiring the snow that fell continuously and slowly. All I could see was white and blue sky; it was still daytime, but soon the night would fall, dense and lasting. Dawn would take a while to come at this time of year.“It’s freezing quickly; I fear you might get sick.”I looked at him, unable to hold back a genuine smile. He called me, and I approached. His expression pleased me because I had never seen it on his face before; he always showed me a deep hardness, along with immense personal dissatisfaction.“Go in; I’ll stay outside. Don’t worry about anything else, Luna.”He adjusted my warm cloak, a high-quality fabric traditionally used by the old royalty. For the first time, his eyes sought mine suddenly, vividly, as if he was truly seeing me. My heart o

LaylaThe town he insisted on calling a village was quite far from his house. I mean, our house. I watched him, noting how incredibly attractive he looked driving his monstrous pickup truck that could throw a massive amount of snow to the sides.“Stop looking at me like that.”“Why? Does it bother you?”“Isn't it obvious?” he retorted, frustrated, in an aggressive tone.After that, I fell silent and locked myself in my resilience. I looked straight ahead, revisiting my mental survival checklist. The males in my pack didn't like it when I unintentionally intruded on their problems, their interests, or their everyday lives, even if timidly, from a distance, almost like a mere shadow.“Sorry, I didn’t mean to be rude to you. My Luna.”“You don’t have to be overly nice to me,” I said calmly. I was used to being cast aside. Being neglected was perfectly normal and acceptable to me.“As I said, you’re a masochist. Why don’t you just admit it?”I heard that masculine chuckle, completely capt

LaylaI didn’t know how I had reached the top of that mountain. All I knew was that the wolf who had always lived within me had finally revealed herself before my father’s tribe, the Lortur clan. She roared, yearning to join the battle unfolding before her. Fear no longer consumed me.I sprinted forward, for the first time running on all fours, and I realized that in this form, I was the wolf, and the wolf was me. We became one. Unlike my human form, where the wolf speaks within my mind, she now controlled every function of this body. I felt more than fierce—I felt like my true self.I was born to be this white wolf with three long tails, charging toward the beast that threatened my family. The alpha was the only one who hadn’t transformed. Why? Was it so difficult for him to allow us, the quadrupeds, to communicate with him? Or was the problem exclusively with me? But Lucien couldn’t possibly know that this wolf was, in fact, his wife... could he?I reached the fray, noticing that my

LucienBack at the stronghold, I ended up finding Layla, naked, lying in the snow before reaching the entrance to our cabin. I picked her up in my arms, trying to understand how the snow hadn't covered her naked body, and how she hadn't frozen without the protection of her wolf's fur.I quickly carried her to our home, placing her on the bed we needed to share, while I felt the wolf agitated inside me. Ignoring the fact that because of him, my body was showing signs of arousal, I searched for a warm blanket, covering the nudity my inner animal desired. Then I tried to use the long-unused fireplace in the room, so I had to go out to the garage to collect dry wood.On the way, I thought about whether Layla would tell me about her transformation, when everyone thought she was such a defective being that she could be given to an almost pariah individual. I strongly hoped she wouldn't tell me, because I didn't care if she had gifts or not. Lia had never been a genuine wolf, and even so, I

LucienHer lips were gentle, delicate, and they gave me a sense of peace I hadn’t expected to feel coming from a lunar being like her, especially since it was clear how much her wolf desired me. But soon, that mouth withdrew sharply. She stared at me, perhaps waiting for a pleasant or hopeful response from a higher being. From her leader. But I had nothing to offer this Luna except for what I had already committed to giving her.“I… shouldn’t have acted so impulsively. Please forgive me, my lord.”Layla turned her gaze forward, a little embarrassed.“There’s no need to apologize, just don’t let your wolf take control.”Layla turned her face, frowning, twisting her delicate features that framed her soft face.“There’s no lunar being inside me. Did you forget I’m defective?”“I don’t believe that.” I crossed my arms, taking a deep breath as I lost the connection with her delicate skin. I kept staring at the charming blonde, challenging her to open up to me entirely. After all, why all t
