All Chapters of Alpha’s Moonchild: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Elyra’s POVKale’s hands were on my waist before I could say a word. His grip was firm, like he’d been waiting for an excuse, or a reason to touch me again. Before I could catch my breath, he hoisted me off the ground and carried me straight through the hallway of his room, his stride unhurried but unrelenting.“Kale—”“Don’t.” His voice was rough, the command vibrating through my skin, and I felt something purring.He pushed open his bedroom door with his foot and crossed the threshold like he was claiming territory. Then I was on the bed, tossed gently but possessively, and his body hovered over mine. His eyes burned with the kind of heat that no logic could smother.We stared at each other for half a heartbeat. Just one. And then the silence collapsed.His mouth crashed into mine, stealing the breath from my lungs. I kissed him back, hungry, reckless, desperate to lose myself. Kale’s hands roamed, slipping under the hem of my blouse, fingers spreading against the bare skin of my w

ElviraI woke up to warmth. A heavy, steady warmth pressed into my side, lulling me in a small space between sleep and wakefulness. For a second, I thought I was in my own bed, maybe in a dream and a place that smelled like tobacco and sandalwood. Then something shifted, an arm, heavy and muscular, tightened around my waist.My eyes flew open, a face rested inches from mine. Peaceful, soft and masculine. Jaxon!I didn’t scream, I almost did. My breath hitched instead, and I jerked a little, panicked. He was…in my bed? No, this wasn’t my bed. This was his room. The rich navy sheets, the smell of him lingering on the pillows, the open window casting shadows against the wall.What the hell happened last night? How did I get in here? I remember telling him to go to his room, then what happened after? I tried to remember yesterday memories but I can’t remember a solid thing.I sat up carefully, making sure not to wake him. My body was sore in places, my hair dissolved, my face soft, but a

DericThe road blurred past the tinted windows as I sat stiffly in the backseat of the black SUV, my thoughts moving far faster than the car. I have a meeting with Jaxon in less than an hour, one I couldn’t afford to miss, but my phone buzzed again and again. I yanked my phone out of the pocket to see the name: Dad’s hospital. My hand clenched around the device before I answered. “Dr. Lim,” I said, voice flat, trying to brace myself.“There’s been a change, Alpha Deric,” she said gently, her voice pinched with exhaustion. “Your father’s vitals dropped earlier this morning. We stabilized him, but… we really need your presence. There are decisions that need to be made. Soon.”I pressed my fingers to my temple. “I’m in the middle of something. I’ll try to be there this evening.”A pause. “With all due respect, sir… he may not have until evening.”The line went quiet as she gave me time to absorb that.I didn’t say anything. I simply ended the call and leaned back against the leather sea

ElviraI was stepping out of Jaxon’s room, the door clicking shut softly behind me when I almost collided with Talon. My breath caught in my throat, and I took a quick step back, avoiding the bump.“Oh, sorry, Talon,” I muttered, forcing a small smile onto my lips, it’s a cover for the lingering confusion and excitement that had been swirling in my chest ever since Jaxon had pulled me so close.Talon raised an eyebrow, his usual smirk in place. “No harm done,” he said, though I could tell he’d noticed something in my face. Maybe it was the warm pink blush on my cheeks. He’d been teasing me, pushing me to the edge, and yet… it didn’t feel like torment. There was something, it finally felt real, like we’re finally getting along.I cleared my throat, forcing my thoughts back into place. I could feel the thudding of my heart in my chest. Jaxon’s proximity, his scent, his playfulness, it all left me breathless, almost dizzy with confusion. I shook my head as if to clear the lingering fog t

JaxonI was done playing games.I’d danced around Elvira for too long, holding back when all I wanted was to consume her. Elvira had become the rhythm of my every thought, the ache in my chest, the fire under my skin. And I knew, I knew, she wanted me too.No more waiting. If I couldn’t have the bond, all of it, I didn’t want anything at all.I stormed through the halls, each step charged with purpose, hunger burning in my chest. Her scent still lingered on my clothes from yesterday morning, soft, citrus and vanilla. I hadn’t changed my clothes. I Couldn’t. I needed that scent with me, like an armor.I stopped at her door and inhaled once, grounding myself. But the moment I knocked, all my restraint cracked.The door opened slowly, and then, a smile. It lit up her face like a morning sunrise , softening her sharp features and making my heart stumble in my chest. But then, as quickly as it appeared, she hid it away, her expression tightening.“If you’re here to play with me again, Jaxo
