Now, Lyra could only anticipate their downfall as her emerald eyes swept over those who had betrayed her before locking eyes with Anya and Rhys again. “I prayed that Incarnadine would finally receive the immense power and wealth now that the real key to the prophecy, had become the Luna of your pack.”

The servants leave the room, and the door closes. Lily’s warm smile disappears. She sets the bowl aside without touching it. “You really thought he’d choose you over his child?” She asks scornfully. I froze. “What?” Lily leans back comfortably. “You begged him, didn’t you?” “I knew he wouldn’t come.” small smile curls on Lily’s lips. “He’s going to be a father.” She places a hand on her stomach. “I’m giving him something you never could.” I stare at her and realizes that the sweet, timid omega is gone.

The contraction was lasting longer this time, Lucian's vanilla honey scent turning with the sheer force of the labor. I commanded Lucian, “Look at me, Lucian,” my hand sliding under Lucian's shirt to press against the prominent curve of Lucian's stomach. I let out a continuous Alpha rumble from the depths of my chest, sending a wave of calming pheromones through the tight cabin.

The Pack will turn on you for defending a Latent. “Why?” Ryan asked, his eyes narrowing. “That is enough, Ryan,” Lucas said, his tone carrying the weight of a High Beta. “Are you suddenly developing a soft heart for this stray?” “A soft heart?” Lucas let out a sharp, dry bark of a laugh. “The girl is about to coat your boots in bile. Can you not see it? Do you truly wish to carry the scent of sick all through our ritual with the huntresses?” Lucas asked, his lip curling.

Luna's face transformed with such pure joy that my heart ached. "She made a noise. Did you hear? She's so perfect." Luna looked up at me, tears streaming down her face. "Mama, she's so perfect and tiny, and I love her already." I took a picture with my phone, capturing Luna holding newborn Alice, both their faces showing the vulnerability of new life and fierce love. A moment of pure hope in the middle of preparing for war. That night, Luna finished the blanket. She worked until dawn, stitching protection wards with shaking fingers, whispering prayers to the Moon Goddess over each symbol. When she finally collapsed from exhaustion, the blanket glowed faintly with magic.

“Wow… I’ve never… Seen her like that before. “Eliza said, and I just stared at the now empty kitchen before us as Laura’s words replayed in my head. “My princess, please do not think much of Lady Laura’s words. It has Lady Catarine’s fingerprints all over it. It is Lady Laura’s voice, but Lady Catarine’s words. It’s obvious she instigated her against you. She’s probably the one who told her too. I don’t know what her issue is with you. “Eliza said, and I sighed as the kitchen staff began to trope back into the kitchen. I turn to Eliza, and she stares at me with sorry eyes. “I don’t care who owns what voice or what words. There’s just one thing I'm certain of. “I spoke, and Eliza raised a bro

He laid Judiel on the small bed, he was about to fix Judiel when he suddenly stopped when Judiel pulled him so he went on top of Judiel. "What are you doing, Judiel?" Lucille whispered, she tried to remove Judiel's hand from her waist but Judiel held her even harder. Judiel moved a little bit and whisppered to her that made her stop. "Who are you?"

And there's something - no, someone - on top of me. With a grunt, the person moves, pushing himself up onto his elbows. Suddenly I can breathe again, and my head starts to clear. I twist slightly, rolling fully onto my back to get my face away from the hot asphalt. My elbow throbs again, but my hip feels better now that I've shifted my weight off it. And just when I thought I couldn't be embarrassed any more today, I look up and realize who is on top of me. This close, Orlando smells like the mountains. Like evergreen forests with the clean crispness of a sharp wind. This close, his eyes are like deep, bottomless pools of molten gold. There are stories in there, stories I didn't see before.
