Kai POV

“Had a great time?”

That was the first thing Liam said to me once we mind-linked after I came back home.

I was holding a glass of whiskey in my hand and in my annoyance, I might have held it a bit too tightly. I stared at the shattered glass in my hand, the sharp edges biting into my skin, but the pain barely registered. The sting of betrayal, the irritation at Liam’s flippant question – I clenched my fist tighter around the shards, letting them cut deeper as if the physical pain could somehow drown out the storm inside me.

“Fuck off, Liam,” I snapped “If you have nothing useful to say to me tonight, please end the mind-link, I don’t want to talk to you,”.

There was a pause on the other end of the mind-link, I could feel Liam’s hesitation before he finally spoke, breaking the silence.

“I didn’t mean to piss you off, Kai,” Liam said carefully, his tone placating. “I’m so sorry about your mother finding out about your schedule too. She broke into my office and saw it herself. I’

  • Alpha's Hidden Precious Luna   Chapter 216

    Lily POVI stood at the threshold of the grand hall, watching Kai's body pressed against the woman's, I felt a different kind of chill altogether. The bottle of water, Nathan had offered me after we walked away from the dance floor and I was grateful for him just standing beside me without saying a word.A new song started to play and I watched miserably as Kai moved with the woman. Both of them glided around the dancing floor like dancing experts. My chest constricted, as a familiar ache spread through my ribs. I should have expected this. Luna Helene had made it clear where we stood, hadn't she? And yet, seeing him like this – so intimate, so passionate with someone else – I was wondering if we’d stopped fighting to be together. "Well," Nathan murmured beside me, his voice low and surprisingly gentle, "Are you alright?”“I don’t know,” I said quietly still staring at Kai. I don’t know what to think, honestly. First, Kai doesn’t strike me as the kind of man who’d just abandon a wom

    Lily POV“Of course,” he shrugged then looked at me with something that might have been hope in his dark eyes. "So, since we're both currently without partners for the evening, what would you say to sneaking in a dance with me? Consider it compensation for everything that’s happened tonight."The suggestion sent a flutter of excitement through my chest. Dancing with Nathan Morrison? The idea was both thrilling and dangerous, especially given the way my body had been responding to his proximity all evening."I'd like that," I said, unable to keep the smile from spreading across my face."Excellent," Nathan said, offering me his arm in a gesture that was both old-fashioned and charming. "Shall we?"I slipped my hand through the crook of his elbow, immediately noting the solid strength of his bicep beneath the fabric. As we walked back into the hall together, I felt a sense of anticipation building in my chest. Whatever happened next, at least I wouldn't be spending the rest of the eveni

  • Alpha's Hidden Precious Luna   Chapter 214

    Lily POVI stood quietly on the terrace, the cool evening breeze playing with the hem of my dress as I watched Nathan speak with Cordelia. The woman was animated, her hands moving expressively as she spoke, her voice carrying just enough for me to catch fragments of what sounded like an explanation. Nathan's posture was attentive but somehow relieved, which struck me as odd for someone supposedly on a romantic evening.After what felt like several minutes but was probably less, Cordelia touched Nathan's arm briefly before turning and walking back into the hall. Nathan watched her go, then ran a hand through his dark hair before turning toward me with what looked suspiciously like relief washing over his features.As he approached, he intercepted a server who had just stepped onto the terrace with a silver tray of champagne flutes. Nathan took two glasses, nodding his thanks to the young man before continuing toward me with that confident stride that seemed so natural to him."Well,"

  • Alpha's Hidden Precious Luna   Chapter 213

    Lily POVThis conversation felt like a dream. Here I was standing on the steps of a formal gala, dressed in evening wear, discussing my romantic failures with the man who just yesterday had been grilling me about werewolf political history. The disconnect between Professor Morrison the academic and Nathan the well-dressed stranger was jarring."Where's your date?" I asked, trying to shift the subject from my failed date. "The mysterious woman your mother selected for you?"Nathan's expression darkened slightly. "Inside, probably charming everyone within a fifty-foot radius while I take a break from playing the role of interested suitor."There was something bitter in his tone that resonated with my own situation. "Not going well, then?""About as well as your evening appears to be going," he replied, glancing meaningfully at my phone again.“You know, this is my first gala,” he continued after a few seconds, his lips curving into a small smile. “This is my first social event and this

  • Alpha's Hidden Precious Luna   Chapter 212

    Lily POVI stood at the entrance of the grand ballroom, the soft glow of chandeliers and the gentle hum of conversation creating an atmosphere that felt magical but instead left me feeling completely out of place. The annual gala was in full swing inside, with elegantly dressed couples dancing and mingling. Everyone seemed to have a partner except me and I had to leave the hall and stand at the entrance, wishing my partner for tonight would show upA few minutes turned into ten minutes, into twenty, thirty and now one hour. An entire hour, that’s how long I’ve been waiting for Jason.I’d taken so much time to look perfect for the gala. First, it was my first inter-pack social function and I wanted to leave a good impression for the future. I wouldn’t want anyone to remember me as shabby when I and Kai finally get to be together. But now, after waiting for one hour, I felt like all my efforts was wasted.I tugged nervously at the midnight blue silk that Emma had helped me choose. It

    KaiCeleste scoffed, but I could hear the pain behind the sound. "Same here, Mom. I wish you were never my mother. You're an evil, vile woman who wants to control everything. You're the reason why Kai cannot be with his mate. You're not a good mother and you never will be."Without warning, Celeste thumped on the roof of the van with her fist, shouting at the top of her voice, "Stop this car now!"
