As the days drew closer to the much-anticipated celebrations in the Moonlit pack, Enora found herself back on the pack grounds, immersed in a whirlwind of final preparations. She had wanted to come back here early, because she knew there was still a lot to do before the place would look as she had envisioned it.She had expected there to be a buzz in the air of excitement, but there was nothing. The community continued to do as they always did, and nothing hinted at celebrations that were happening in a couple of days. Enora found it strange and decided to pay a visit to Grace.She knocked on the door and heard a reply coming from inside the house.“Grace?”, Enora asked as she stepped inside tentatively.“Yes, my dear?”, Grace answered, as always coming from the kitchen, wiping her hands on a towel. “Enora! Good to see you again, my child.”Enora was enveloped in a big hug from the smaller woman, but it made her

Leonora hung up the phone with her daughter quite suddenly. She had heard enough for all the dots to be connected in her mind, and she hurried outside to find her husband.“Elio?”, she asked loudly. He came out into her view wiping his hands on some cloth.“Yes, what’s wrong dear?”, he asked, confused by the panic he saw in his wife’s eyes.“It’s Enora… Her work, the event… Moonlit.”, Leonora tried to get out, but she was hyperventilating out of fear for her daughter. Elio tried to calm her down and walked her back to the house to get a glass of water for his wife. He sat her down on a chair and knelt by her knees.“Now, tell me. What’s wrong with Enora?”, Elio asked kindly.“Last time Enora was here, she mentioned that she was feeling the mate bond, you remember?”, Leonora started. Elio nodded. “Well, she had mentioned that it was not one man, b

Enora breathed a sigh of relief as she stepped out of her car and onto the bustling streets of the city. After spending a week in the community, she welcomed the change of scenery and the familiar sights and sounds of urban life. The anonymity of the city had always been her sanctuary.Her first stop was to meet up with her friends at their favorite café. As she walked through the door, she was greeted with warm smiles and cheerful greetings. It felt good to be surrounded by familiar faces, and she quickly settled into a comfortable rhythm as they caught up on each other’s lives.Over cups of steaming coffee and plates of decadent pastries, Enora shared her recent experiences with her friends. She told them about the progress of the event planning in a close-knit community like Moonlit, and about the struggles to resist the pull of desire that seemed to grow stronger with each passing day.Her friends listened intently, offering words of comfort and

Sebastian had taken up residence in Seth’s office. He didn’t care where his grandfather would spend his last weeks as the grand Alpha, because Sebastian had forbidden Seth to do anything anymore. Even though they were waiting for the full moon for the celebrations, the change of leadership was already in effect.The office was filled with antiques and shelves stacked with leather-bound books. It was too dark for Sebastian’s liking, but it was not his priority to change right now. Instead, he focused his attention on Adam, who was reading some report. He was glowing, so surely, he had sex with Enora again.The jealousy was eating away at Sebastian, and he wanted to know. He didn’t know what exactly he wanted to know, but he wanted Enora more than anything. Yet, she continued to run away from him. Sebastian knew that Lucas wanted the same, but he had mentioned earlier that for now he was okay with being able to touch all parts of her at the gym.

Enora stepped out into the crisp morning air, the sun casting a golden glow over the community as she made her way towards Grace’s cabin. It had been a day or so since the encounter with Sebastian and Lucas, and the tension between them was transforming from hatred to desire.Even though Enora was still confused and unsure of how to handle the desire and longing she felt, she felt comfortable with it when she was out there in the community. It was like it made sense to feel all that in this place.Enora found herself wanting to skip down to Grace’s cabin. She felt good and was grateful for Adam for helping her to connect to Grace. She really knew almost everyone in the area and has been a great help so far.Knocking on the door, Enora waited patiently until Grace appeared, a warm smile lighting up her face as she greeted her.“Good morning, Enora. Come in, come in.&rdq

Enora stood at the edge of the forest, the cool breeze rustling through the leaves as she gazed out at the sprawling expanse of the community. She had tried to talk to Natalie to get reassigned, but that had been useless. Everyone in the team had shivered at the idea of having to leave the city. So, Enora was stuck with this assignment, and stuck with Sebastian, Adam, and Lucas.This time it was going to be easy to remain professional, because Enora was still livid with Sebastian and Lucas for punching Levi. There was no way she was going to give in now!Enora marched up to the mansion where the three men should be waiting for her. She was going to present her plans to them before she was going to find local suppliers to get everything she needed. Enora had really tried to get suppliers from the city to deliver out here, but no one had been willing. It had given her a headache because Enora couldn’t understand the hostility.“Well, here goes nothing!
