Tobias's POVA sharp knock on the door interrupts the quiet, and Nicholas and Aiden step in. Aiden moves to sit beside me, his expression tense, while Nicholas grabs a chair near the desk, leaning forward as though bracing for impact.“Alpha Grey. Lincoln,” Dad begins, his voice calm but commanding, “please explain why Zahra’s home pack holds such significance. I noticed more than one confused face when you mentioned it.”Lincoln sighs deeply, running his hands down his face, clearly gathering himself. “My father… he never got over losing his chosen mate to Alpha Lucas,” he begins, his voice heavy with frustration and resignation.The room tenses immediately. Xander’s eyes widen in surprise, his posture stiffening, and I feel my own brows shoot up. This is new information.Lincoln shifts uncomfortably but continues, addr

Zahra's POVAs we walk through the house, we pass through the ground-floor corridor and step out onto the sunroom patio. The space is beautiful and secluded, tucked away from the rest of the castle. It’s a private oasis for the ranked families—lush greenery borders the area, giving it a sense of exclusivity. The outdoor setup includes a U-shaped sectional, a large dining set under a shaded awning, and a crystal-clear pool lined with lounge chairs.Charlotte is already stretched out on one, scrolling through her phone."Hey, Lottie!" Alice calls as we round the pool."Hey, ladies," she replies, glancing up and smiling.I can't wait to dive in. The pool is gorgeous—nothing ridiculously over-the-top, but the cool, inviting water is calling my name."How are you both?" Charlotte asks.I shrug at the same time Alice says, "Fine," and we settle into our seats. I spread my towel over the lounger before easing down onto it. Alice sheds her kimono, and I notice Charlotte is already sunbathing

Tobias's POVAfter my shower, I head downstairs. Jasper mind-linked me that he’s at the pool with Zahra, Alice, and Lottie, and Thor and I can’t fucking wait to see Zahra. I need to make sure she’s doing all right after her first kills, to reassure both myself and my wolf that she’s okay.As I walk down the hall, I hear shrieks and laughter from outside, which makes me smile. That laugh is the best sound in the world, but nothing prepares me for the sight greeting me at the patio door. Zahra is in the pool, smiling and carefree, and for a moment I feel like time just stops. She looks unbelievably happy, and my heart feels like it’s lodged in my throat. Then I notice she’s wearing a bikini. My mind blanks, because I’ve seen her in training gear, and earlier I even saw a flash of her naked, but somehow this feels different. Thor is going crazy in my head at the sight of her.That’s when

Max's POVI watch Xander and the others leave the dining hall, leading Lincoln and Brant somewhere. I try really hard not to stare at Xander’s retreating form. Seb and Ralph are talking about the earlier fight, raving about Zahra’s wolf.“I cannot believe she has her wolf,” Ralph gushes. “Did you see her fight?”I do not know why he is surprised. Everyone knows that the stronger your human form, the stronger your wolf. I have never seen anyone as competent as Zahra, whether in human or wolf form.What bugs me more is finding out she has had her wolf since spring and never told us. Maybe it shouldn’t matter. We are not that close. We only started hanging out more after she split with Seb, texting a bit, and I helped keep him off her back. I thought we were getting closer, which is probably why it stings so much. Zach and Xander did not know either, so I guess I should not take it personally, but it still hurts. Medus is sulking in my head, back turned, refusing to talk to me.After lun

Max's POV 🌶️🌶️I stroke myself, using my precum and the remnants of his, to slick my own shaft, and then I position myself at his entrance. He reaches up, pulling me down for a kiss, and I hook his leg over my hip, sliding into him in one smooth motion.The feeling is indescribable, the tight heat of him enveloping me, and we both groan, the sound heavy in the air. His kiss is fierce, demanding, and I start to move, my hips rolling into his, the rhythm slow and deep.“Xander,” I breath, his name a prayer on my lips.He doesn’t respond, just kissed me harder, his hands gripping my shoulders, his nails digging into my skin. I can feel the way his body moves beneath me, the way he arches into every thrust, and I know I’m close, I can feel the coil of pleasure tightening in my gut.“Max,” Xander gasps, his voice ragged and desperate as he breaks the kiss, his piercing eyes locking onto mine. His fingers digging into my shoulders, his nails pricking slightly through my skin, sending a sh
