Chapter 21 – Talia’s POV“Why are there penises sitting on a shelf, Cassie? Who did you cut them off from?” My eyes were wide with horror as I whipped around to face her.Cassie burst into loud, unrestrained laughter, like I’d just asked the funniest question in the world.“They’re called dildos, Talia,” she said, dragging me further into the room without a care for my expression. “They’re made from silicone. Not Werewolf's”I took an involuntary step back as she picked one up and stretched it toward me like it was some normal household object. “Why would anyone make these? What the fuck? This is sick. Where did you even get this, from the human world? Do the elders know you sell this? What the fuck, Cassie?” My hands were shaking, and I stepped back again as if it might somehow bite me.The detail on it was immaculate, almost impossible to believe they weren't real.Cassie just shrugged, her grin wide and unapologetic.“Hey, calm down. Not everyone gets a good dick, and yes, they’re

Chapter 23 – Talia’s POVI couldn’t sleep.Every time I closed my eyes, my mind replayed the conversation with Vermont. Then Cassie. Then Vermont again. Over and over, until it felt like my head was going to split open.“What makes you any different…” I scoffed under my breath, staring up at the ceiling.“I am different,” I muttered, like saying it out loud would make it feel more true.It didn’t.I sat up abruptly, running a hand through my hair before pushing myself off the bed.After we got back to the palace that night, Vermont had left me alone. He hadn’t come back. Not once.I didn’t know why that bothered me.But it did.Was I a terrible person?The thought came out of nowhere, sitting heavy in my chest before I could stop it. I frowned immediately, shaking my head like that would get rid of it.No.I wasn’t doing this.I climbed back into bed, turning to the other side and pulling the covers with me. I tossed and turned for what felt like hours before sleep finally had mercy o

Chapter 25... Vermont's POV "I can’t, Vermont… Don’t you think it’s… jumping the bridges? Going from hating each other to… fucking?" she asked, pushing me back just enough to see my face. Her cheeks were flushed, eyes bright, and it made my cock twitch.I closed my eyes briefly, forcing myself to ignore the craving that flared through me. She wasn’t mine yet, and I wasn't going to push her to do anything."You're right," I said, voice low, keeping my eyes closed. "We shouldn’t jump the bridges." We should burn them all, I thought.Her hand lingered near my chest, brushing against me as she tilted her head."What do I need to do… to get you on top of me, my little peach?" I finally opened my eyes, hooded and dark, locking onto hers."Little peach?" she giggled, soft and high-pitched. A ridiculous, cute little sound that made something inside me ache."Isn’t that the first step to crossing a bridge? Nicknames," I teased, letting my grin play across my lips."I don’t have one for you,"

Chapter 27… Vermont’s POVThe next morning, I had meetings with the pack elders. As I sat in the room, listening to them argue amongst themselves, my mind kept drifting to Talia. I wondered what she was doing at that very moment, if she was awake, if she was thinking about me.“How do I prepare for a date?” I asked the guard standing beside me, hoping for some practical advice. His brow furrowed, and he shrugged.“I… don’t know,” he admitted.“You never took your wife on a date?” I asked, glancing at him sideways.“My wife and I hit it off immediately when we found out we were mates,” he said, his voice light, a small smile settling on his face. “We didn’t really need dates.”“So you’ve never gone on dates at all?” I pressed, curious despite myself.“We went on a couple. The diner downtown, the Ridge Museum… nothing fancy,” he recounted casually. I sighed, exasperated, although it made a small part of me smile. I was still trying to figure out the perfect date for Talia, one that wou

Chapter 29 – Talia’s POV“What do you mean the guard left with the car?” I stopped pacing and turned sharply toward Aria, my glare already locked on her.She let out a tired sigh and lifted both hands like she was surrendering. “He said he had to run a quick errand and just… drove off.”“A quick errand?” I repeated slowly. “With our only ride?”Aria winced a little. “That’s what I said too.”I groaned and looked down the empty road again like the car might magically reappear if I stared hard enough.“Vermont is so going to kill him.” I muttered under my breath.“Definitely,” Aria shifted her weight, suddenly less interested in the missing car. “We can just wait inside while we figure it out?”I turned back to her. She wasn’t meeting my eyes properly. I squinted. “Why are you acting like that?”“Like what?”“That,” I pointed at her face. “That weird… guilty smile thing you’re doing.”Her eyes widened a little too fast. “I’m not doing anything.”“Aria.”She groaned. “Fine.”I stepped cl
