Aiden's POVMy patience was wearing thin as I stormed into my office, my aura oozing power that made even my Delta, Gustavo, tremble slightly."You have to get me a ticket to Paris today! I don’t care how you do it," I barked with my voice filled with urgency and frustration."Yes, Alpha!" Gustavo stammered, visibly shaken as he quickly scurried out to handle the request. My aura was intense, a manifestation of my rising impatience, and even Smoke, my wolf felt unsettled by the amount of control I was trying to exert.I had been preoccupied with a series of attacks on the pack, which required all my attention. But now, with my mother, Alpha Fernly, back in charge, I could afford to leave. She was fierce and capable, and despite her absence for a while, I knew my pack was in good hands.My body was here but my mind was elsewhere entirely. It was on Shenaya. I had intentionally stopped sending her the notes and flowers, just to see how she would react. I didn’t want to overwhelm her, bu
Shenaya's POVI woke up with a throbbing headache, the harsh morning sunlight streaming through the curtains and hitting my face. I groaned softly and tried to bury my head back into the pillow but the flood of memories from the last night came crashing into my mind which made my eyes shoot open in disbelief."No, no... it can’t be real," I muttered to myself, I sat up abruptly, and my heart began to race as I clutched the bedsheets around me.“Good morning, beautiful.” A deep, familiar voice sounded beside me. I hadn’t even noticed Aiden sitting there casually leaning back in a chair by my bedside as he watched me with amusement evident in his face.My breath caught in my throat, I darted my eyes down and relief washed over me as I found myself fully clothed. I could ask the grown to open up and swallow me in embarrassment right now.“You must be having quite the headache right now.” Aiden stood up with a calm and almost smug look. He walked over to the table and grabbed a tray. He p
Shenaya/Emily's POVIt’s been a week since the incident that happened at the Paris Fashion Week and everything has been quiet since then. I did a brief investigation on the bartender’s death but there was no point to it and there was only little I could do since the whole case is being handled by the police in the human world.I hadn’t heard from Ethan or Aiden in the last few days. Ethan is probably out of the country for business. I wasn’t really worried about him. I was particularly worried about Aiden even though I knew I shouldn’t, I just couldn’t help it.How could he ask me out to dinner and ghost me afterward, it’s not like I wanted to go. I thought to myself.‘You didn’t want to go but you are looking forward to it, you are so mad at him,’ Lily mocked me ‘Whom are you kidding girl’.‘Shut up’ I scolded her while she just mocked me.I decided not to work today so I just strolled through the estate garden. Just as I finished my walk, I sat on a brick bench to take in some air t
Shenaya's POVI couldn’t shake off the unsettling feeling that had been gnawing at me for days. I started having the feeling that someone was lurking around the Roux estate. The sensation of being watched clung to me like a shadow, it grew more intense with each passing hour.I doubled the security at the estate, ordered the guards to double their patrols, and gave strict instructions that only Aiden should be granted access whenever he arrived. I could sense some danger coming and I had to keep my family safe.That evening, I decided to put my pups to bed earlier than usual, because I wanted to have a long talk with Aiden, the silence between us was killing me and I needed to be clear of what was going on. I made my way to the pup’s room, I cracked the door open and I was surprised when I met with silence in the room.The beds were empty. The room was generally emptyPanic surged through me, I quickly turned and bolted down the hallway. I rushed to Ethan and Isla’s suite, hoping to f

Shenaya/Emily's POVI sat on my favorite plush couch in Lilah’s store, I fidget with the edge of my dress as I recall the awkward moment in the bedroom with Aiden. Lilah was sitting cross-legged on the other side of the couch, with her chin resting on her palm, listening to me intently.“So, wait. Let me get this straight,” Lilah said while raising an eyebrow. “You were practically naked, he had you on the bed, and then he just left?”I nodded, exhaling in frustration.“Yes! He left me there. Completely turned on. No explanation. Just... gone.”Lilah squinted her eyes at me in disbelief.“Are you sure he’s not gay?”I Laugh while shaking my head. “Lilah, if he were gay, I wouldn’t have given birth to Leo, remember?”Lilah threw up her hands. “People change! It’s been years, maybe he’s got a new ‘perspective’ on things.” She smirked, but I could tell there was genuine concern hidden behind her playful tone.Just as I was about to reply, my phone beeped. I glanced at the screen, and my
Aiden's POVI stood behind the bathroom door, my heart thudding loudly against its cage. I pretended to fumble with the sink and splashed cold water over my face to calm the turbulence inside of me. I could still feel the warmth of Shenaya’s body from earlier as her presence lingered in the air. As much as I wanted her and needed her, I knew I had to give her some space to process what I had said. The confession I made was raw and sounded desperate. I couldn’t risk losing her again, so yeah, I was desperate. I also didn’t want to rush into something fleeting.After hesitating for a moment I twisted the knob to open the door just to find Shenaya on the other side of the door ready to leave.Fear crept into me as I hurried across the room and grabbed her wrist, holding her back softly.“Where do you think you are going?” I whispered trying to cover the fear building up in me.“I’m going to the estate,” Shenaya answered coldly turning her face from me to avoid my gaze. The disappointment
Shenaya's POV"What the fuck?" I muttered in annoyance as the harsh ray of light suddenly snatched my sleep away. I moved uncomfortably under the duvet as I tried to cover my face so I can continue my sleep."Wake up..." an annoying voice that belonged to my best friend Lilah said and snatched the sheet off my body leaving me bare naked on the bed."Ewwww," Lilah pretended to be disgusted at my nakedness. "Em, cover up!" she squealed while I struggled to open my eyes, still exhausted from the previous night. Suddenly, I remembered I spent the night in the warrior quarters at the pack house—in Aiden's room, to be precise. And now Lilah is here. But where is Aiden? I quickly opened my eyes to see Lilah tugging at my legs, trying to wake me up."Lilah, stop acting like a 2-year-old," I said, kicking her hand away. "Where's Aiden? And how did you know I was here?""Your boyfriend told me I could find you here. He…." Lilah paused mid-sentence with surprise on her face."Oh my God... he mar
Skylar's POVI stood at the edge of the forest, staring at the Crescent Moon Pack grounds from the shadows. My heart was heavy with a weight I had carried for years—a burden born of betrayal, power, and regret. The whole betrayal thing had scarred me, it drove me to chase power to fill the void left. In the process, I had betrayed everyone, hurt Shenaya, and nearly destroyed everything I once held dear, just because of Andrew's fuel for power.I feel so lonely, I live in isolation, no one talks to me, and I live as a shadow that was why I insisted on having Zoey around. Deep down I want to have a purpose too, I wanted respect but all the power I possess right now keeps radiating without using it. Watching the Roux and the Casaer family from afar for years, I could see the consequences of my actions. Aiden was no longer the man I once wanted. Shenaya, his chosen Luna, had become the Alpha I never thought she could be, so strong, commanding, and loved by the pack. And I, a rogue in spir
Shenaya's POVThe air was thick with anticipation as I prepared for the journey that lay before me. Aunt Belle’s hut was filled with the scent of herbs, their pungent aroma lingered in the air as she arranged them into intricate patterns around a large circular tapestry. The room was very heavy with energy, the air tingled with the magic that would guide me to Aiden’s mind where I would search for his lost wolf and his broken memories.“Shenaya,” Aunt Belle said gently to balm against my frayed nerves, “I hope you still remember that this is not a physical Journey. It’s a journey within your mind. It's a place where memories are intertwined with emotions and spirit. I’ll be here to guide you, but only you can reach him.”I nodded slightly as I knelt on the tapestry, and my hand began to shake. My thoughts kept drifting to Aiden’s face, his empty eyes when they looked at me. His eyes used to be very warm whenever he looked at me but now they are filled with distance which I hate so muc
Aiden's POVThe sun was setting in faint, soft hues over the horizon, casting long shadows over Skylar’s garden. The fading light made the colors dimmer, the sky was heavier than usual. I sat under a tree, alone, lost in my thoughts, still feeling like a stranger within my own skin. I was near Skylar, my mate yet I felt hollow, like I was adrift, floating in a place I didn’t recognize, I recognized Skylar to be my mate but the emptiness I felt within me since the day I decided to follow her could not be comprehended. Her presence felt distant, as though I were standing in a foreign city, lost among faces that should have been familiar but weren’t.Memories flitted through my mind, strange and elusive. Images of Skylar were clear, I knew that we’d been through so much. I could recall being bonded to her, yet somehow, I felt as if someone else was missing, as if part of me was struggling to break free, to remember. Shenaya’s name floated to the surface of my thoughts, insistent, and wi
Shenaya’s POVI lay awake on my bed looking at the ceiling while the morning sun streamed through the curtains, I felt like I had no heart for it was overpowering me. Aiden had finally woken up after days of unconsciousness, but the man who opened his eyes wasn’t the one who had promised me forever. Now, it has been a week, which had been a week of empty sorrow and true suffering despite the fact that Aiden was alive. A week today he stared at me with that blank look on his face and then walked out with Skylar.I slid my hands along the edge of the bed where he once slept, and I suddenly realized there was no one. Aunt Belle had tried to reassure me, she tried explaining how Aiden’s memories had returned jumbled, woven with pieces of his past with Skylar. She’d assured me that the things he remembered doing with her were our memories, they were things he did with me, our moments but somehow, he saw Skylar’s face in them. I clung to that explanation, but it didn’t ease the ache. It did
Aiden's POVSlowly my lumbering eyelids dragged themselves apart and I stared at the harsh glare of the hospital ceiling light above. I could feel the slow pulse that spread dull and aching behind my eyes as if my very brain was aching with pain. My body finally responded, alert and rigid, as if the heavyweights of lead had draped around my bones and as a trial to flex my muscles, shooting spasms of lingering pain.The surroundings of the room were bleached and motionless, the steady sound of appliances providing me with a clear sensorium of time. For a moment, I understood that I was in a hospital, and while that much was clear, the why eluded me like a shadow that slipped across the grass just as one turned to pursue it. Something was amiss, there must have been a big hole in my head that I couldn’t locate or perhaps fill. Irritation started to build up beneath the thick layer of confusion when I tried to find something in my head that wasn’t there.Before I could breathe, thinking
Shenaya's POVThe days he dragged on with an ache that settled deep into my bones. Every morning, I woke in an empty bed, my hand instinctively reaching out to the space Aiden should have filled but he wasn’t there. He was in a coma, lying in the infirmary, his once formidable strength now silent and still. The doctor had said his wolf, Smoke, had sacrificed himself to save Aiden’s human side. The blow was heavy, but I knew it was what Smoke would have wanted—to keep Aiden here with me, even if only in part. But without his wolf, Aiden was more vulnerable than ever, and the emptiness gnawed at me with each passing day.My, Lily, had fallen silent in grief, her sorrow mingling with my nominee's loss of her mate had hit her hard, and now, in the long hours I spent patrolling the pack grounds and handling pack business, I felt her absence as acutely as Aiden’s.In Aiden’s stead, I had taken charge of the pack, managing the day-to-day challenges of leadership while also keeping a wary eye
Shenaya's POVThe early morning light fell like a soft blanket over the Crescent pack’s territory. Dew clung to the grass, shimmering under the sunlight, as though the earth was dressed in celebration of our wedding day. Today, I was marrying Aiden, my Alpha, best friend, and partner in fierce and fragile love.I could feel the energy in the air as the whole pack bustled with preparations. I spent the morning getting ready, surrounded by close friends, family, and members of the pack who all wore excited smiles as they darted around to help, offering me congratulations and teasing glances. The field we had chosen as our wedding site was dressed in rows of pristine white chairs, lined up in front of a wooden podium decorated with garlands of roses, lilies, and green ivy. My heart felt full, overwhelmed with love and gratitude for everyone who had come. Even Skylar, Aiden’s former mate and my one-time enemy, was here today, holding her daughter Zoey’s hand, standing in the crowd with a
LUCY'S POVThe stench of fear mixed with the sharp tang of silver and wolfbane, permeated the dungeon. Darkness wrapped itself around the cold stone walls, and Alenjro’s muffled gasps for air echoed within. The silence in between each scream was thick, and heavy with the weight of what was unsaid. I could hear him attempting to hold back his agony, but it was useless. His control shattered each time I pressed the searing iron that was already wrapped in wolfbane vines, against his skin. “Ahhhh!” Alenjro’s scream filled the room again, slicing through the air, raw and broken. A satisfying chill crawled up my spine as I watched his body convulse against the restraints, his skin blistering from the poison.When his scream died down to a low moan, he lifted his head, eyes glazed with defiance but flecked with terror.“Do you think this will erase what you are?” he spat, a mocking tone laced with an undertone of pain. “Do you think it’ll change the fact that your ‘precious’ son was father
Aiden's POVThe last few months had been surprisingly peaceful like the universe had finally gifted us a rare break from chaos. Shenaya and I had settled into a new rhythm here in Rome, a blend of family life and preparations for the wedding. Zoey had been making incredible strides in her training with Skylar, who surprisingly had shown genuine dedication and care for her daughter. Twice a week, Skylar would bring Zoey back to Shenaya and me, letting us have family time before Zoey returned to her lessons. Our daughter was stronger, and more in control, and I knew we had Skylar to thank for that.Meanwhile, Shenaya had thrown herself into plans for her new brand, hoping to establish it here in Rome now that we’d decided to build our lives here. Though she’d already given me her heart and allowed me to mark her, I felt the need to make things official. I wanted her as my wife, not just my mate, and she deserved to be given that choice. So, a few weeks ago, I’d proposed, and now Shenaya
