AsherI groan loudly the moment she asks through the bond link, Who could that be? I don't even try to pretend. I already know-it's Selena. She's here to drag Ally away to begin the Luna rite.Ally notices the shift in my expression. Her eyes search mine, and then she sighs. She knows."That's Selena," I tell her."What's my mum doing here?" she asks softly.It catches me off guard, hearing her call Selena's mum. She doesn't say it often. Most times, she just calls her by name, but hearing the word slip from her lips now feels... different. Softer. A little more real."Your mum?" I tease, raising an eyebrow. "That's new."She blushes instantly, cheeks turning bright red. Before she can respond, another knock echoes-louder, sharper this time."I'm coming, Mum!" she calls out as she stands slowly. I make myself presentable, raking a hand through my hair and adjusting the towel around my waist.She opens the door, and there stands Selena-arms folded under her chest, her stance strict and

Alethea Asher scoops me up into his arms, and my whole body pulses with need. My core throbs so hard, it's an unbearable ache for him, for something to fill the emptiness inside me. I bury my face into his neck, licking his skin like a starving woman desperate for a taste. Tension rolls through my lower belly, each one stronger than the last, and I clutch at his shirt, trying to ground myself. Asher releases his Alpha aura- it's thick, powerful, and intoxicating. I hear gasps around us as everyone freezes in place, unable to move. But we keep going, slipping out of the temple like it's just the two of us in the world. I squirm in his arms, eager to feel his hands on my bare skin. I want more. I need more. "Chill, Ally," he says with a low chuckle, though his voice is tight with restraint.He carries me down a path I've never taken before. Up ahead is a stunning building, one I've noticed from afar but never entered. It's grand, elegant-fit for royalty-but at this moment, I'm too

AletheaEight Months LaterI love the way Asher loves me-deeply, fiercely, and without holding back. The way he cherishes me goes far beyond anything I ever dreamed of. I'm truly happy now. I'm in a better place, far away from the pain and hatred of the Blood moon Pack.My father is proud of the woman I've become, and that means the world to me. But most of all, I owe everything to my mother, Selena. She has been my strength, my light, and the force that keeps me moving forward.From the very first moment I opened my eyes in the Redwood Pack. She's helped me find my place in this new world, and I don't know where I'd be without her.I'm also so thankful for Kayla. She's a sweet soul-kind, loyal, and beautiful inside and out. She's stood by me through thick and thin, always ready with a smile or a shoulder to cry on. Her friendship is one of the greatest gifts I've received.And then there's my son-my heart, my pride, my little hero. Every day, he gives me a reason to smile. His laught

AletheaOf all the ways I imagined Declan's birthday going, not once did I ever think I would go into labor right in the middle of his party. This was supposed to be his special day. And now... I feel like I'm stealing the spotlight.A sharp pain tears through me again, and I cry out, clutching my belly. I already feel bad. I didn't mean to cause a scene. This is Declan's day.During my antenatal visits, the midwives always told us not to scream during labor. They said it would drain our energy. "Breathe through the pain," they advised. "Stay calm."But no one ever said the pain would feel like this deep, fierce, and all-consuming. No one warned me how it would take over everything.I glance at Asher through watery eyes. He's calm, but I know him too well, his jaw is tight, his brows drawn. He's already mind-linked the pack doctor. He's always one step ahead when it comes to me.Then I hear the faint sound of a siren. I turn my head, and there it is an ambulance, pulling up right outs
