The Libray

Lila’s POVThe corridor my room was in felt just like the others we’d wandered through, same smooth stone walls, same heavy wooden doors but this one was much shorter. Only four doors, two on each side, and one at the very end. I peeked inside each of the rooms and found them nearly identical simple beds, small writing desks, and neatly folded linens but the room at the end of the hall gave me pause.It wasn’t grand, just... quieter. A little larger, with a wide window that opened up to a view of the sea. Light poured across the stone floor, illuminating a deep soaking tub in the adjoining private bathroom. The thought of a hot bath tonight almost made me cry with gratitude. I left my bag on the desk and quietly shut the door behind me.When I returned, Tobi and Thefros were still standing in the hallway. Thefros gestured to a door down the adjacent corridor.“There’s a room just up here on the left,” he said. “It’s unoccupied. Tobias, you’re wel

Going Public

Tobi’s POVDinner had settled into a quiet rhythm, the wine mellowing the last edges of tension between us. Lila looked relaxed for the first time since we arrived her shoulders loose, her smile soft. I was just about to reach for the wine bottle when Thefros spoke.“Funny you should ask,” he said casually, swirling the last of his wine. “I received a call a couple of days ago from your friend Matthew Lowell.”My hand paused mid-pour.“Matthew, huh?” I leaned back in my chair, curious. “What did he want?”“He was asking if I’d heard from you recently,” Thefros replied, clearly amused. “Said you usually check in every few days but have gone radio silent.”Lila glanced between us. “Who’s Matthew?”I smiled at her. “He was, well, is my best friend. He’s back in Aruyios. I used to check in with him regularly, just to let him know I was safe. But the last couple of weeks…” I shrugged, brushing her hand beneath the table. “I’v

Ombré

Lila’s POVI put my book down with a sigh and picked up my mug of coffee, taking a long sip. I really needed a break. My eyes felt heavy from reading and rereading the same page for the past ten minutes.“Any luck?” I asked, glancing at Tobi. He was hunched over yet another thick, dusty book, brow furrowed in concentration.“No,” he sighed, pushing the book aside. “I think I’m ready to give up. Maybe we’re never going to find an answer to our dreams.”“Well,” I said, stretching my arms overhead, “remember when Thefros said he had some things to show me? I thought I might visit him now, see what he’s been holding back.”“If you want to,” Tobi said, finally looking up at me with a small smile. “I’m sure whatever he has is very interesting. I might pop into town and pick up a few essentials. Do you need anything?”“Nope, I’m all set.” I grinned and threw back the last of my coffee.“Nothing? Not even clean underwear?” he asked, mock horror in his voice. My face flushed immediately.“Fria

Candlelight

Tobi’s POVWinking at Lila, I took her hand and led her out of Thefros’s office, the stone hallway cool beneath our feet.“Tobi, where are we going?” she asked, her voice light with amusement, curiosity flickering in her grey eyes as we stepped into the fading golden light outside.“You’ll see,” I murmured, tightening my grip just slightly.We moved through the gardens in companionable silence. First came the tidy rows of kitchen herbs and vegetables, their practical order giving way to wide ornamental paths lined with hedges and flowers. The scent shifted from soil to lavender, rosemary, and roses. Then the man-made beauty gave way to the wild past the groundskeeper sheds, into a grove of chestnut trees.Candles flickered low on the forest floor, lighting our path with soft pools of amber light. The deeper we went, the more magical it felt.“What is this?” Lila asked, her hand flying to her mouth. Her voice was hushed, reverent.“You’ll see,” I said again, grinning. I wanted this to

A Feeling

Lila’s POV“Why?” was all he asked.I reached up, pulling him down to kiss me. Our lips brushed together softly, a delicate sigh escaping me. Every time he touched me, it felt like something inside me unlocked. I was beginning to crave his taste the way a drowning girl might crave air.Tobi slipped away to dispose of the condom, then returned and gathered me into his arms. We lay like that for what felt like an hour, his chest against my back, his breath warm against the nape of my neck. His fingers gently traced patterns along my hip and down my thigh, lulling me into a peaceful, blissful haze.We didn’t speak at first. Just held each other. The air between us was quiet but charged, and the longer we lay there, the more aware I became of every inch of skin we shared. Eventually, his lips found the top of my shoulder, the place where he had marked me. He kissed it reverently.“Lila,” he murmured, his voice low. “Why did you ask me to mark

Taped up Letters

Tobi’s POVI woke just as the first sliver of sunlight broke over the horizon. The tent was still cloaked in the quiet stillness of dawn, its canvas walls glowing soft gold. Careful not to wake Lila, I slipped from the warmth of our bed and quickly pulled on some clothes. I needed to arrange breakfast and have her clothes brought down though, if I had my way, I’d keep her naked and wrapped in these blankets all day. But coffee was sacred, and Lila would need more than my arms to start her morning.By the time I returned, everything was waiting neatly outside. I exhaled in relief as I stepped back into the tent and found her still curled beneath the covers, fast asleep. Stripping back down, I climbed in beside her, unable to keep the smile from my face as she made the softest sleepy sound and pressed back into me.The curve of her bare body fit so perfectly against mine. Just the brush of her skin was enough to stir me, but I held back. She needed rest afte

Final Media

Thefros POVI had been studying the possibility of werewolf and human mate bonds ever since Tobias arrived with Lila in tow. And until today, I had found nothing no records, no precedents. It simply wasn’t done.Frustrated but persistent, I turned to a book I’d long dismissed as more myth than historical fact. In its pages, I rediscovered the tale of Lilliana and Reade the fated human and werewolf who, according to legend, were blessed by the moon goddess and together forged the land of Aruyios as sanctuary for our kind. A story passed down through generations, wrapped in fantasy… but suddenly, not quite so unbelievable.KNOCK. KNOCK. KNOCK.I jumped, startled, the book slipping from my hands and thudding to the floor, the page lost. Cursing under my breath, I stood, already irritated. Everyone in the Priory knew I did not receive visitors without appointment. Whoever this was had better have something truly urgent to say.I opened the do

The Fated Pair

Lila’s POVWe made it back into the Priory and reached Cayden’s office within a few minutes. Tobi banged on the door, and it creaked open to reveal a pale-faced Cayden.“Ah, good to see you two are well,” he said weakly, swaying slightly in the doorway.“Cayden, what’s wrong?” I asked immediately, concern flooding my chest. I slipped my arm through his, offering support as we guided him back into the room.“Nothing I won’t recover from,” he said as I lowered him carefully into the armchair beside the fire. “The mind-link… it took a bit more out of me than I expected.”“Tobi, get him a drink,” I said, shooting him a look.Tobi nodded, crossing the room to the small cabinet while I knelt beside Cayden.“I brought the dress back,” I added gently. “Where’s the key so I can put it away?”He smiled and fished the small key from his pocket, placing it in my hand just as Tobi handed him a glass of something amber and st

Princess

Tobi’s POV The rest of the drive was uneventful by now, I could do this route with my eyes closed. I pushed the hire car harder than I probably should have, but I needed to get back. To get Lila home. I could probably run faster if I shifted, but a massive grey wolf streaking through open farmland? That would cause more trouble than it was worth. Instead, I entertained myself by breathing in the soft, floral sweetness of Lila’s scent. It clung to the fabric of the car, to my skin, to my thoughts. I let myself get lost in the memory of her naked, laughing, breathless in the warmth of our tent in the woods. That had been the best week of my life. I found myself wondering was it too soon to ask her to move in with me? Would she think that was weird? Maybe I didn’t need to ask. Perhaps it would happen naturally. A quiet shift into something more permanent, something inevitable. As we crossed the Lenweil town line, the landscape

Money Under Floorboards

Lila’s POV“But why isn’t he here with you now, Moira?” Henry asked softly, his voice rasping under the weight of emotion.Moira looked down, her jaw tight. “Cayden became obsessed with finding a loophole. A way back into Aruyios. It consumed him. I tried to make him see we needed to move forward. Start a new life. But he wouldn’t accept it. Said our future could only exist back there.”She paused, her eyes distant. “We were poor. Really poor. Cayden spent every day and most nights chasing old leads, scratching at shadows. And I… I was lonely. So, eventually, I called Sandi. I couldn’t tell her everything, but I told her enough. Enough for her to understand my desperation. Greg paid for my flight back to Forreston. I left without saying goodbye.”No one spoke. Moira’s voice cracked, but she continued.“I lived in Forreston for eight years. Pretended I was a regular human. Played the role of the world’s best aunt, if I do say so myself. Th
