AURORABeing tired of fighting the same battle every day had worn me down. Nothing felt simple anymore.My last class had just ended when I stepped out onto the college lawn and saw him. My father.He stood in the center of campus as if he owned it. Tall. Solid. Unmoving. And he was not alone.Another wolf shifter stood beside him. Broad shoulders. Dark brown eyes that held steady on me, as if he could see every thought I tried to hide.Theron.My pulse climbed into my throat as I walked toward them. Each step felt heavier than the last. The future I had been avoiding was standing right in front of me. There would be no more delays.Father spoke before I could. His voice was calm, but there was no softness in it.“Aurora, you know why I’ve come. I have made my final decision about your future.”The lines around his mouth were tight. Set. He had already decided. Nothing about this would bend in my favor.He did not waste time.“You must accept an arranged mating with a wolf from our pa

AURORAA small shiver moved down my spine when he touched me. It was not fear. Not fully. It was the shock of everything changing at once. My heart beat too fast, trying to catch up with words that had already been spoken. The air felt thin.Theron stepped closer and rested his hand on my shoulder. His grip was firm but careful. Warm. Steady. It grounded me when nothing else did. For a second, the noise in my head quieted.His eyes held mine. There was doubt there, but also resolve. Even with my father’s influence pressing down on us, the choice had felt right in that moment. Right enough. We both carried responsibility. The Ironwood Pack came before pride. Before comfort. If we stood together, maybe we could guide the pack into something better. Something fair.Change would not come easily. It never did. But it could happen.On our terms.Not my father’s.Our goodbye was brief. No drawn-out promises. No extra words. Then they turned and walked away, their shadows stretching long in t

AURORAAfter Damon agreed to meet in the woods, the phone went straight into my pocket and I moved fast down the narrow path that wound between the trees. Dry leaves cracked under my shoes. Branches brushed my arms as I pushed past them.Hands were tight at my sides. Nails dug into my palms. Thoughts would not settle. Desperation kept rising. Anger sat heavy in my chest. Dread followed close behind.The woods felt wrong tonight. Too quiet. No wind in the branches. No animals moving through the brush. Only the steady удар of my feet against the dirt and the harsh sound of my breathing.Every step brought me closer to Damon.Every step also fed the storm building inside me.It felt like something large was pressing against my ribs, trying to claw its way out. The urge to break something, to hurt something, flashed through my mind before I could stop it.Nothing was going to block me from this conversation.A glance up at the sky made my stomach drop. No moon. Just darkness stretching wi

JAXAurora’s cry broke through the quiet forest like something tearing apart. The sound reached me from the trees and sent a sharp jolt through my chest. Legs moved fast as I ran toward the place where she had gone to meet Damon. Waiting earlier had been a mistake. Staying back had given him time alone with her.Something had gone terribly wrong.Years spent training with the wolves of the Ironwood Pack had taught me to understand their voices. Their howls carried meaning. Pain sounded different from anger. Fear sounded different from warning.Aurora’s cry sounded like pure agony.It twisted inside my chest.Hold on. I'm coming.The clearing where she had met Damon appeared ahead. I stepped into it quickly.Empty.No Damon. No Aurora.But she wasn’t far.Her wolf was whining somewhere ahead between the trees.Damn it.Night vision goggles would have helped right now. Human sight, even perfect sight, couldn’t match a wolf’s ability to see in the dark.Still, there was one advantage.T

JAXA faint smile crossed my face when Aurora gave her usual strong answer. Even with mating heat close to breaking her control, she still tried to stand her ground. That stubborn strength was pure Aurora.Our lips met before either of us could say anything else.The first kiss struck like a match. Heat rushed through me so quickly it almost felt dangerous. It pulled me down into something wild, something reckless. Still, pulling away was the last thing on my mind.Her soft gasp warmed my mouth as we kissed deeper. The heat between us built quickly, stronger with every second. If this was going to burn us both, then fine. I wanted everything that came with it.Her tongue brushed mine.A low groan escaped both of us.Within seconds Aurora shifted and climbed onto my lap. Her knees wrapped tightly around my sides as she straddled me. The thin layer of denim did nothing to stop the heat of her body pressing against me. Her hips moved slowly at first, then faster as she rubbed herself ag

AURORAThe distant Beat moved through the night and settled deep inside my body. Each steady beat matched the rhythm of my heart until a quiet, growing need filled my chest. The feeling had been building all day. Every hour added another layer of anticipation. Energy hung in the air, and I tried to take in as much of it as possible.Standing naked beside the window, my eyes searched the sky. No moon shone above the forest tonight. Only darkness stretched across the horizon.The ceremony was finally here.Even now, it felt unreal.Years earlier, there had been an attempt to live like everyone else. College had seemed like a simple escape at the time. A way to step away from pack rules and live a normal life.That idea had collapsed quickly.Failure pushed me back home, back into the protection of my father and the Ironwood Pack.At first, returning felt like losing freedom again. The traditions, the expectations, and the strict structure once felt suffocating.But time changed that vi

AURORA “Tonight we celebrate more than the start of a new moon cycle,” my father said to the pack gathered in the clearing. His voice carried clearly through the trees. “This rare moon brings the fertility we have been hoping for. It also marks a formal mating.”A cool breeze passed through the forest. It lifted strands of his long black and gray hair away from his face. The movement showed the strong, steady expression he wore while standing before the pack.“A black moon only appears once every few years,” he continued. “Because of that, tonight begins a new time for all of us.”The wolves gathered in front of us answered with loud cheers. Many tipped their heads back and howled toward the sky. Their voices rose together, filling the night air.The pack believed the moon would bless us tonight. The energy in the clearing made that belief feel real.The tightness in my shoulders slowly eased. Muscles that had stayed tense all evening finally relaxed a little. Just for this night, th

AURORA Wolves howled from every direction around me. Their voices rose through the night air, thick with hunger and excitement. The sound pushed against my senses. They wanted him to finish the mating. The pack would always wait for Theron to begin. No glance was needed to know how close everyone stood or how thin their control had become.The scent of the Ironwood Pack hung heavy in the clearing. Heat. Desire. Sharp excitement. It filled my lungs and stirred the same wild need inside my body.“You taste too good, Aurora. I can’t get enough,” he said quietly.Warm breath drifted over the swollen heat between my thighs. A quick shiver climbed my spine. My muscles tightened without warning.Theron dragged his teeth along the soft skin of my inner thighs. My legs trembled beneath the slow scrape. His eyes never left mine. The gold glow in them showed the wolf pressing hard against the man inside him.Low growls rolled through the pack.The sound grew louder and rougher.Then he moved.

JAXJesus.There had always been a chance something like this could happen. That thought had crossed my mind before. Still, nothing prepared me for actually living it. Running through the forest with Aurora over my shoulder, her bare skin against me, her body still burning from the ritual, was not something anyone had planned for.Duty was easy to accept.Standing there earlier and watching my woman taken in front of everyone during that old moon ceremony had been something else entirely. The ritual was ancient. It bound her to another wolf so she could lead the pack.Knowing that didn’t make it easier.The memory sat heavy in my chest.A scream cut through the night somewhere behind us.That sound pushed me to move faster.Aurora had just stepped into the role of alpha of the Ironwood Pack. Nothing mattered more than keeping her alive. Not tonight. Not during this weakness.A quick count in my head told me we had about twenty-one hours before her full strength returned. Maybe a litt

JAX The way wolves sometimes shared partners during their sexual play had never really bothered me. Growing up in the Ironwood Pack made it feel ordinary. It was simply part of the culture around us.Still, when wolves truly mated, something deeper usually followed. A bond formed that no one else could step into. They became possessive in some ways, yet still open in others. The mix of those two things never made complete sense to me.“Something or someone, managed to get past the guard,” I said as I moved toward her.Each step felt heavy with tension. Aggression rolled through my blood. A strong need rose inside me, the need to take control again. To remind her—and maybe even myself—where things stood.This was my moment.The pack rules could wait.Her position in the pack could wait too.Aurora belonged to both of us.To Theron and to me.She shared more than her body. Her warmth and her affection were shared between us as well.Yet a quiet question pushed through my thoughts. Why
