The Perfect Gift

(Audrey's POV)I stood in front of the mirror, adjusting the neckline of my emerald green dress. The color matched my eyes, eyes that always revealed a hint of my wolf, Grace. Tonight was supposed to be special - our third wedding anniversary.I let out a shaky breath. Everything was ready. The table is set with our finest silverware, the candles flicker delicately, and the aroma of the dishes I've so carefully prepared fills the dining room. Wine braised lamb is set alongside a chocolate soufflé, a dish that took me several tries earlier in the day to create to perfection.This was supposed to be a celebration. It was a reminder of the bond we'd shared for three years, a bond that, at least as far as the wolves were concerned, was strong and unshakable. Grace cooed softly in my head, but I sensed her unease.I cut my hair one last time. The dress fit my figure perfectly. For a moment, a flicker of hope flashed through my chest. Maybe tonight, despite the odds, Arthur would surpris

Returned Gifts

(Audrey's POV)My heart pounded as I smoothed down my robe and hastily tied my hair back. Victoria Moonstone was here—with a jewelry box. Could it possibly be the necklace I had seen in the video?I moved toward the staircase, eager to confront Arthur's stepsister, when a tall figure suddenly blocked my path. Arthur stood at the top of the stairs, his broad shoulders tense, his dark eyes watching me carefully."Where are you going?" he asked, his voice deceptively casual."Mary said Victoria is here to see me," I replied, trying to keep my voice steady. "Apparently she has something to return."Arthur's jaw tightened. "I'll handle Victoria. You don't need to come down.""She asked for me specifically," I countered, studying his reaction. "She's returning something that belongs to me.""Audrey," Arthur said, his tone shifting to that authoritative Alpha voice he used when giving pack orders. "Stay upstairs. I'll bring whatever it is to you.""I'm coming down," I stated firmly, s

Unfair Games

(Audrey’s POV)The words glared back at me from my phone screen, sharp and unforgiving.Victoria Moonstone, the new Clinical Director of the Moonstone Therapy Center.For a moment, I just stared, the announcement coursing through me like a jagged blade. Victoria. Of all people, Victoria. My new boss.“Audrey?” Sarah’s voice broke through my spiraling thoughts. She was perched on the edge of my desk, her dark eyes sharp with concern. “What’s wrong? You look like you’ve seen a ghost.”I swallowed hard, forcing my expression into something neutral. Anything to mask the wave of disbelief shaking me from the inside out. But Sarah had always been too perceptive for her own good.She leaned closer, her tattoos peeking out beneath the sleeve of her blouse as her arms crossed. “Tell me what’s going on,” she said firmly. “I know that look on your face. You’re holding something back.”My lips pressed together, the words fighting their way out. “It’s... Victoria,” I finally said, not quite

Territory and Trust

(Audrey's POV)Arthur’s dark eyes locked onto mine as I posed my question, half-expecting him to dismiss it."Consider it done."His words were calm but unwavering.I blinked at him, unsure if I had heard him correctly. "Just like that?"He leaned back in his chair, his fingers drumming lightly against the polished wood of his desk. His lips curved into a faint smile, but his tone carried no jest. "Just like that. It’s not a challenge, Audrey. The territory isn’t going to someone outside the pack. You’re my mate. My Luna."I stared at him, caught completely off guard by his readiness. Grace stirred in my mind, her ears perking up with interest. Territory meant respect. It meant something far deeper—power and loyalty tied to our pack’s very foundation. It was no trivial thing to him or anyone in the pack."You're in a good mood today," I replied carefully, studying him.His expression didn’t shift, but the intensity in his eyes softened slightly. "It’s not about my mood, Audrey.

Revelations and Betrayals

(Audrey's POV)Victoria settled herself comfortably in the passenger seat. My chest tightened with frustration. Her presence there felt like an intrusion, an intentional act to unsettle me.“Victoria, please sit in the back,” I said, keeping my voice steady though it grated on my nerves to remain calm. Grace growled softly in my mind, annoyed by the audacity in Victoria’s actions.She turned her big, blue, innocent eyes on me, her lips forming a small pout. “Oh, but I always sit in the front with Arthur. The view is so much better from here.” Her voice dipped, almost as if she were reminiscing deliberately. “We used to go on drives like this all the time before... Well, before everything changed.”I narrowed my eyes at her through the driver’s side mirror. Everything in her posture screamed fragility, but the way she glanced at Arthur said otherwise. She wasn’t innocent. She was self-serving.She sighed dramatically, one hand going to her temple as if this whole ordeal was too muc

Shattered Illusions

(Audrey's POV)"You have to end things with her, Arthur!" Victoria’s voice rang out in the quiet night, sharp and desperate. "We both know your heart isn’t really hers."I froze behind the thick oak tree, my breath caught in my throat. The crisp night air seemed to chill my very core. Grace stirred inside me, growling low, urging me to stay hidden and listen.The voices carried through the open space just outside the pack mansion. I stayed rooted where I was, my heart hammering painfully against my ribs. Peeking around the trunk of the tree, I could see them. Arthur stood there, tall and commanding as always, his hands shoved in his pockets. And Victoria—she was gripping his arm with an intensity that made my skin crawl, her nails digging into the tailored fabric of his suit jacket.Her perfectly styled curls framed her pale, distressed face. But it wasn’t her usual polished appearance that drew my focus. It was the raw emotion contorting her features. Her wide, tear-filled eyes an

Shattered Bonds

(Audrey's POV)"We need to talk about our marking ceremony night." My voice came out stronger than I expected, even as my heart hammered in my chest.Arthur’s broad shoulders tensed. He looked up from the stack of papers on his desk, his dark eyes guarded, impenetrable. His silence stung, but I had grown used to that. Cold silence often spoke louder than defensive words."What about it?" His tone was low, cautious, like he was stepping over fragile glass. But it lacked the casual warmth he used to have when we spoke, and that absence made my throat tighten."Why did you leave me?" My words came slow, deliberate. Each one was a weight hanging between us.He leaned back in his chair, dragging a hand through his dark hair. It was a familiar move—one I had seen countless times. His way of gathering his thoughts, of controlling whatever storm brewed behind those intense, calculating eyes."Victoria needed me that night," he said finally. His words were quiet, devoid of apology, like t

Unexpected Encounters

(Audrey's POV)I stood awkwardly between Sarah and Lucas outside the Wolf's Den. The tension between them was impossible to miss, thick enough to suffocate the crisp night air."You two... know each other?" I asked hesitantly, my gaze darting between them.Sarah snorted, the sound sharper than I expected. "Know each other? Oh, Audrey, we didn’t just know each other. We dated." She delivered the words with a dramatic flair, shaking her head as if the mere memory was unbearable.Lucas looked startled. His dark eyes widened, and his jaw tightened slightly. "Sarah, come on. That was years ago." His voice had a defensive edge, but it didn’t mask the embarrassment coloring his face."Yes, years ago," Sarah repeated, her tone mocking. She crossed her arms and tilted her head at him. "You know, back when you thought it was okay to try and mark me without my consent."My eyebrows shot up at her bluntness. I had no idea Sarah had such history with Lucas, the young Alpha of the Riverwind Pa

Painful Revelations

(Audrey’s POV)When I entered the room, there she was, comfortably perched at the kitchen table like she owned the place. She smiled sweetly at me, an expression that sent a shiver of resentment down my spine."Hi, Audrey!" Her tone was sugary and fake, the kind that grated on me instantly. "Arthur made us dinner. You should join us."Us? The bleakness I felt only deepened. I turned my eyes to Arthur for an explanation. He stood by the stove, flipping something in the pan. His jaw was tight, and his movements a little too controlled."Victoria was just leaving after dinner," he said, his tone curt but directed more at her than me. Even so, he didn’t look at me, which only added to the growing ache in my chest.I felt Grace stir, pacing angrily inside me, but I swallowed the sting and forced my hands to remain calm at my sides. I had to stay composed, for my pups. They needed nourishment even if the rest of me was being torn apart."Fine," I muttered and moved to sit at the far en

Unspoken Truths

(Audrey's POV)Saturday morning arrived with a strange heaviness in the air. The kind that made my chest feel tight and every step a little heavier. As I walked into the wolf healer’s den, my hand moved instinctively to my stomach.It was a small, protective gesture I couldn’t seem to stop. A secret I hadn’t yet found the courage to share.The healer had me lie on the examination bed, her gloved hands gentle as she touched my abdomen. "Your pregnancy is right on track," she said kindly, writing notes with a steady hand. "Five weeks in, and everything looks healthy."Her words filled me with a quiet relief, one that Grace shared. But they also brought another wave of anxiety."Would you like me to call your mate in? Some prefer their partners to hear everything firsthand," she offered, setting the chart aside.I tensed, knowing I wasn’t ready. "No. Not today," I said quickly, earning a curious glance from her.The healer didn’t press. "Of course. If you need anything else, let me
