A few days turned into five, and those five felt like an eternity. Each day dragged on, and the nights seemed even longer. If it weren't for the constant stream of guests, Thomas and Hera would have struggled to keep their promise of staying apart.

Two nights before the big event, Hera found herself sitting across from Thomas at a massive table in the main hall. She was surrounded by unfamiliar faces, making small talk during dinner.

Celeste and Hogwart had tied the knot that day, along with a few other couples from the village, and everyone was invited to celebrate with the Morris family. Knights filled the table, while their pages and squires occupied another nearby.

Some of the men weren’t thrilled about dining with the village commoners, but they kept their thoughts to themselves around Nolan and Lilian. They knew better than to challenge Master Nolan, who ran his household with an iron fist and raised his sons to do the same. Hera was certain that when Thomas took over, the vi

    Hera walked alongside him, her steps faltering as she picked up on the chatter around them. Thomas hushed the nearby voices, signaling her to pay attention.“Take my hands,” he instructed.As she grasped his hands, she felt the warm fur of what had to be a horse. A soft sound and a little movement from the creature made Hera open her eyes wide.She gasped. The mare was stunning, her tan coat reminiscent of caramel and her mane deep like chocolate. Those big brown eyes sparkled with trust.“Hey there,” Hera whispered, her voice gentle. “You’re so strong and majestic.” She ran her fingers along the horse's neck and glanced at Thomas. “Is she for me?”“Indeed.”“You’re making me tear up again.” She gazed at the horse in wonder.“Sorry about that.” Thomas offered a half-hearted apology.“No, you’re not.” She leaned in to show her gratitude.Even Gelo couldn’t help but blush before interrupting the moment. “You two are making me sick. Brother Malloy better not take his sweet time with the

  • Alpha Thomas   The Gift

    The music shifted, signaling Hera's entrance. She had asked Nolan to accompany her down the aisle because the thought of walking solo made her too nervous. Plus, she still felt he was to blame for this whole situation—after all, he was the one who had pushed her hand into Thomas’s and set everything in motion. Thank goodness for that.Amber was right behind her, holding the long train of Hera's dress and grinning at all the attention. Thomas stood tall and proud in front of Brother Malloy, who looked a bit jittery as he prepared to join the couple. He kept making little gestures with his hands, trying to nudge Hera along.But today was all about her wedding, and she wasn’t about to let anyone rush her. No way!Thomas looked incredibly handsome in his kilt. She knew he had one and had even tried to convince him to wear it a few times, just so she could have the fun of taking it off. Today, she was marrying a guy in a skirt—who would have thought? The idea made her want to smile. He wor

  • Alpha Thomas   Reminder

    As fall settled in, the chill of winter crept into the mornings. The family huddled around the fire after Amber and Cian had turned in for the night.“Your mom had another vision,” Nolan said, his voice heavy with concern.Lilian had a special Augur gift for seeing the future, a way the Archaics communicated with them, and it was how they had learned about Aurora’s looming threat.Sometimes Lilian’s visions were crystal clear, while other times they were more like riddles. Each one carried a weight of emotion that was impossible to ignore.Hera noticed Lilian scanning her children's faces, and the room fell silent.“The winter solstice is approaching,” Lilian announced.“With it comes the urgency to stop Aurora from regaining her powers,” Gelo added.“But this time feels different. I’m not convinced the solstice is tied to Aurora anymore,” Lilian said, squeezing Nolan’s hand.Hera caught the worry in Lilian’s eyes.Gelo nodded in agreement. “I doubt Aurora will wait for the solstice i

    Aurora kept a close eye on the Keep, hoping to spot a gullible servant who might spill some secrets about what was happening inside. Unfortunately, her luck was running low.Her ability to read people wasn’t as sharp as it used to be, and not practicing her magic regularly was taking its toll. She made sure her visits to the village were discreet, only showing up when other strangers were around.Dressed in rags and leaning heavily on a cane, she looked the part, even though her bones had healed completely. She rarely encountered the same villagers more than once, but she had been keeping an eye on the Augur girl, Alyssa. To her surprise, Matthew of Lancaster had started visiting frequently.Aurora was good at adapting her plans when necessary, and it was time to seek some assistance in her mission. With the winter solstice approaching, she wouldn’t hesitate to act if she spotted another Augur virgin. She had learned her lesson with Hera.Alyssa might just fit the bill. While she wasn

    The family shifted from operation Cosmos to operation cover-up.Whenever someone inquired about Myra, they would respond with, “You just missed her,” or “If you hurry, you might catch her.”But that got old fast and became tricky to manage.On the third day after Myra left, they whipped up a story about her catching an illness that kept her stuck in her room. This was way easier to handle.Hera and Lilian took charge of looking after the "sick" one, so no one else needed to get involved.When someone knocked on the door, Hera would dive under the covers, pull the sheets up, and pretend to be Myra.The ruse worked perfectly, and no one suspected a thing.As winter rolled in, the nights got longer. The newlyweds loved the extended evenings for their romantic escapades. It was easy to forget the household drama while wrapped up in Thomas’s arms. Hera craved those moments. Nights filled with passion often turned into lazy mornings.Hera loved the winter chill and would snuggle into bed af

    Rumors started spreading around the Keep and made their way to the village. People began to whisper that Myra was suffering from a serious illness. Some even speculated that she had run off with one of the guys who came to the wedding.The buzz about Hera’s pregnancy helped to quiet some of the chatter about Myra. Still, the Morris family figured they should come up with a reason for Myra’s absence. No one knew how long she’d be gone, and pretending she was still around was wearing everyone out.One afternoon, Nolan was in the courtyard with Gelo, getting ready for their latest scheme.“She’s impossible! She turns down every suitor!” Nolan shouted.“Take it easy, Dad. Myra knows her own mind,” Gelo replied.“Whatever.” Nolan threw his hands up in frustration. “She doesn’t understand what’s best for her. Maybe a stay at the convent will give her the peace and time to think about my proposal.”“Are you sure about that?” Gelo’s voice was loud enough for the guards in the towers to hear.

    Meanwhile, Hera, taking charge of the household, was discussing dinner plans with Alice. She spent a lot of her day overseeing the servants, making sure they took down the tapestries for winter cleaning before the bad weather hit. Once everyone was busy with her tasks, she decided to try knitting to keep her hands occupied. She was more than happy to set it aside when young Jacob, Thomas’s squire, came in with news of a visitor. “Lady Morris, sorry to interrupt.”Matthew of Lancaster stood behind him.“No problem at all, Jacob. Sir Matthew, what brings you here? Were we expecting you?” Hera hadn’t heard anything about his visit, and a little alarm went off in her mind.“No, my lady. I was passing through when I encountered Lords Nolan and Gelo. There’s an issue.” He glanced around the room and lowered his voice. “A matter they need your help with.”Her earlier unease crept back. “What kind of issue?”“They asked me to bring you to them.

    Hera came to, face down on a damp, musty floor. Her head throbbed painfully, and she could feel dried blood on the back of her neck.Her hands and feet were tied with rough rope, and a piece of cloth covered her eyes. A small opening at the bottom let in a sliver of light from a nearby fire.The room was filled with a sinister laughter that she recognized all too well.“Look what the cat dragged in.”Panic surged through her, and she fought against a wave of nausea. She could hardly forget that voice.“Aurora!”“Ah, so you remember my real name,” Aurora replied, a smirk in her tone.“What do you want from me?” Hera tried to push herself up.A heavy boot pressed her back down.“You’re not of much use to me now.”“That’s up for debate.” Aurora stepped away.But the boot remained, pinning her down.

    One year later…T H O M A SAfter the celebration of our wedding anniversary.I only last one hour before I steal my wife away from everyone. One day without her, and now I need her all to myself.“There are still guests, love,” says Hera mischievously.“I told them to leave.”“Oh my God!” Her eyes widen in shock and I shrug.“I want to fuck my wife,” I huskily growl. “And they don’t need to hear you scream my name.”Her friends have already left so I don’t stop myself from carrying her in my arms bridal style to our bedroom. Our room looks like a bridal suite with the candles lit on the bedside while rose petals cover the bedspread. Hera’s eyes darken with lust while a blush covers her rosy cheeks.Carefully placing her on her feet, I tug her head back with her hair in my fist and smash my mouth against hers. I tilt her face back before pushing my tongue past her lips in a hard kiss. She moans and I swallow the sound greedily while pressing her body into mine.Her eyelids fall open

    T H O M A SIt's been a while since we returned from that dimension. Time there felt like just an hour in the real world, even though we spent days in it. “I really don’t want to see that old lady again, Gelo,” I said. If I were my old self, I would’ve kicked her out of my territory without a second thought. But I promised Hera I wouldn’t be that cruel Thomas anymore. “Anything else on your mind?” Gelo asked as he set the plate down. I frowned. “You brought fruits for my wife, but you’re the one munching on them, you jerk.” Gelo laughed, standing up with a smirk. “Relax. I got hungry—” “What’s the situation at the border? How are the intruders?” Gelo shoved his hands in his pockets. “Some have been dealt with, but a few have already slipped into the territory. Don’t worry, the councils are on it. We just need a bit more time.” I nodded. This could’ve been avoided if it weren’t for that old woman. Hera is still in the hospital recovering. “Step out and check the campsit

    K E I AMy knee slammed hard into his groin. The dress cushioned my effort, and all he did was grunt.“I’ll take that as a yes, pumpkin.”Gelo had me pinned between his arms and the wall.“Excuse me, sir, could you call security? I’m being kidnapped.”The elevator attendant was clever and kept his back to us.“Excuse me, sir?”He didn’t respond.“He’s not going to help you. I own everyone I want. You’re mine now. You agreed to marry me. That’s a verbal contract.”The stupid giant ruffle on my dress didn’t do much except amplify every breath I took. But the closer he got, the more my heart raced, and my breaths quickened… and oh, damn, my panties were soaked. Every time I thought I had my feelings under control, that I had pushed away the parts of me that wanted to be a girl and wanted love, this idiot found a way to break through.“Gelo Smith, Beta of the Dark Midnight Pack. We’ll revisit this ownership thing later. But about this proposal? I agreed under false pretenses. No dead guy

    G E L O“You can tie the knot with me, and I promise I won’t ruin your life.”Damn, I really didn’t think that one through.“Did someone knock some sense out of you?” she asked.Honestly, that was a pretty good question.“This is the worst proposal ever, Gelo Smith.”I stepped closer, wanting to wrap my arms around her. It had been way too long since I’d held her.“Alright, how about this? Marry me, and I’ll take care of the jerk who hurt you.”She glanced at Prieto, probably looking for his approval. But what she said next completely threw me off.“Yes.”What the hell had I just done? Did she really say yes? All I could see was that scumbag standing between me and, well, everything. He was in the way of her. She meant the world to me. The thought of anyone else having her, especially treating her poorly? No one was allowed to touch her. But this?“Yes?” I repeated, because seriously, what had I just gotten myself into? I wasn’t the kind of guy who got married.I glanced back at the

    Totally caught off guard, Aurora fought to keep Hera upright. Hera pushed against her with every bit of strength she could muster. Thomas shot his hand out. The knife slipped from Aurora’s grip and skated across the floor. Thomas stepped in, positioning himself between Hera and Aurora, his gaze locked on their foe. He raised his hand again, and a ball of fire appeared in his palm. Aurora stood her ground defiantly. Hera sensed Aurora’s grip on her loosening. Aurora smirked, a sneer spreading across her face. Hera’s gaze darted between her husband and Aurora. The flame flickered out. Thomas’s hands flew to his throat. When he dropped to his knees, Hera realized he was gasping for breath. “NO!” Aurora’s sinister laughter echoed through the room. Hera rushed to Thomas’s side.Her beautiful eyes, usually filled with warmth, were now wide with fear. Blood trickled from her neck onto his chest.Amber's voice became more urgent. “At this moment, summon the sacred power.”The fac

    "Can you hear her?"She nodded. “She’s singing to drown out the other one. She’s scared I’ll talk to her and that Aurora will overhear. But she’s really scared.”He understood that, but hearing his youngest sister’s sobbing made him anxious to get moving.“The falls? Do you know which ones?”Amber shut her eyes and recited Hera’s song.“The woods are thick and deep around me. Lots of huge, tall trees. The cottage has an old thatched roof. The smoke will billow out in big black clouds.I can hear the stream close by. I need to sing this lullaby. Keep my baby safe inside of me, bring me help, oh please, please, please.”Amber squeezed her brother’s hand. “She keeps saying it over and over. Can I tell her you’re on your way?”“No. Don’t.” He smiled at her. “You’ve done enough, now get some sleep. I’ll bring her back before dinner.”He nodded to their mother and stepped out of the room.Outside, his father caught him. “Take more men with you.”I’m handling this on my own.Nolan grabbed hi
