Who doesn't want such a kind, understanding and loving man who will do anything to be with you, right? Feeling sad af for not having Julian all for myself :(
ElliotThe voice on the other end of the call was male, and something about it clawed at the edges of my memory. It was maddeningly familiar, though I couldn’t yet put a name to it. My wolf prowled restlessly, an aggressive force pushing against my control. The mere idea of another man near her had him on edge, his possessiveness snarling and wild.She was mine, and even if she didn’t know it yet, she’d remember it for the rest of her life.“Where is she right now? I want the exact location, every damn detail about the house she lives in, and the person who owns it and the people she meets,” I barked at Kai, shoving my phone back into my pocket.Kai, my Beta, stood stiffly, sensing the storm in my tone. “Understood, Alpha. Did something happen?” he asked cautiously.I shot him a glare that could have melted steel. “Shouldn’t you already know? I told you to assign the best trackers to her and update me on her every move.” My snarl reverberated through the room, punctuated by the thud of
ElliotI stormed into Julian’s villa, fury burning through every fiber of my being, only to learn from one of his cowering helpers that they’d gone out on a date night. My fist met the nearest wall with a sickening thud, sending cracks spidering through the plaster. The helper flinched, his wide eyes betraying his fear as I began rifling through her belongings, driven by an insatiable need to find... something. Anything.Her room was steeped in her scent—sickeningly sweet and maddeningly intoxicating. It did nothing to soothe the feral beast clawing inside me. If anything, it stoked the inferno of my rage. She wasn’t here, but every second spent in that space amplified the storm of fury roaring in my chest.“Alpha,” Kai’s voice broke through the haze, his tone clipped but hesitant. “Tristan’s shared their live location. It’s about a twenty-minute drive from here.”I slammed her laptop shut and shoved it into Kai’s hands. “Take it,” I growled through clenched teeth. My thoughts seared w
LilaTerror wrapped itself around my heart as Elliot’s icy gaze bore into mine. I couldn’t trust him—not with the truth, not with the fragile life growing inside me. His thirst for vengeance ran deeper than the ocean, and I knew he would stop at nothing to destroy my pack, even if it meant using my baby as a pawn.Elliot wasn’t just dangerous; he was the devil himself. His searing icy blue eyes, so perilous and unrelenting, promised a storm I wasn’t sure I could weather. But I would fight him. For my baby. For Julian, who had risked his life to protect me.Closing my eyes, I forced the lie past trembling lips. “Julian is the father of my baby. And I love him.”The silence that followed was deafening, the air heavy with unspoken fury. When I dared to open my eyes, I saw his grip on my wrists loosen slightly, but his rage didn’t fade. His aura surged like a tidal wave, suffocating and cold. His wolf was close to the surface, and its icy blue eyes pierced through the storm swirling in his
ElliotI let my wolf take control the moment I stormed out of the packhouse, my body shifting mid-stride as I tore through the forest. The guards stationed outside my floor had been rattled by my earlier outburst, their timid knocks at the door earning them a sharp mind-linked command to stay away unless summoned.After locking Lila inside, I ensured no escape was possible. My voice had been lethal when I ordered the guards to remain outside the door and ensure she didn’t set one foot beyond it. If she managed to flee, I promised them they wouldn’t live to see another sunrise.The cool night air stroked my fur as I broke into a furious run with no destination in mind. The forest swallowed me whole, its shadows providing the seclusion I craved to unleash the storm brewing inside me. Every muscle in my body burned as my paws dug into the earth, the weight of my rage and pain threatening to consume me whole.My wolf was seething, his anguish intertwining with mine. He replayed her words i
ElliotHe had the audacity to threaten me, standing on my territory, forgetting his place. A dry chuckle escaped my lips as I took a step closer, my powerful aura unfurling around me like a storm cloud.“Please, spare me, Alpha,” I said mockingly, sniffling as though pleading for mercy. Then my expression darkened, pinning him with a death glare. “That’s what you expected when you dared to threaten your Alpha?” I snarled, my voice low and venomous, reminding him exactly who he was dealing with.The motherfucker held my gaze, defiance flickering in his eyes as he fought back against the weight of my aura. Foolish. I let my power roll off me in relentless waves, suffocating him until his knees almost buckled. It didn’t take long for him to lower his gaze, defeated.Julian may have been an Alpha in his own right, but I was stronger. My parents were fated mates, their bond granting me a power far beyond the ordinary. Add to that my official Alpha status of the Blue Moon pack and the streng
LilaMy breath hitched as Elliot rested his hand possessively on my thigh, the heat from his touch sending sparks racing through my body. I felt Julian's gaze burning into me, but I dared not look his way. Elliot’s commanding presence made it impossible to focus on anything else.Questions swirled relentlessly in my mind, refusing to settle.What was Julian doing in Elliot’s packhouse?Why was Elliot letting him sit at the same table?And why did Thomas—the Alpha King—seem so casual about it?It didn’t make sense. Allowing a stranger, especially one from another pack, to sit at the Alpha’s table was unheard of. Yet here they all were, acting as though it was completely normal.“Let’s eat,” Elliot ordered, his deep voice rich with authority. His next words, however, made my heart stutter in my chest.“The breakfast has been prepared specifically for my mate. She’s carrying my pup, so I’ll make sure she gets the nutrition she needs. Right, darling?”My heart stopped.How did he find out
ElliotI knew that bastard had chased after her the moment he excused himself from the table. And of course, I was fucking right. What caught me off guard, though, was how my mate handled it. Her response was so satisfying, I couldn’t suppress the inner smirk curling inside me. She didn’t trust him anymore. She wanted him to stay the hell away from her.Finally, we were on the same page about something. My wolf practically purred at the thought, his smug satisfaction echoing in my head. But the cherry on top? Her expression. The shock in those gorgeous emerald eyes when she realized I knew about the baby. She confirmed it without a single word, her wide-eyed panic saying everything.I bet she hadn’t told anyone—not even Julian. That was clear from the stunned look on his face. Poor fool didn’t see it coming.But none of that mattered right now. She was fucking mine. And no one—not Julian, not anyone—was going to take her away from me.“I don’t need you, Elliot,” she snarled, her voice
ElliotI shut the door behind us, motioning for her to sit in my chair while I strode to the safe tucked discreetly into the wall of my office. Only my Beta knew of its existence, a testament to how much I guarded the secrets within. Twisting the combination lock, I retrieved a set of documents and straightened, the papers feeling heavier than they should as I approached her.“Here,” I said, handing them to her.Lila took them cautiously, her emerald eyes narrowing in confusion as she began to read. I leaned back against the desk, crossing my arms as I silently observed the myriad emotions flit across her face—confusion, shock, disbelief.“Why?” she finally asked, her voice soft yet filled with suspicion.“I wanted to return it to its rightful owner,” I said simply, shrugging as if it were the easiest decision in the world. “Sheldon was stupid enough not to read the fine print before signing. He didn’t even bother to read the name on the document.”The weight of my partial truth gnawed
ElliotMy wolf growled within, ready to tear apart anyone who had dared to upset her.“No,” she whispered, shaking her head. “I’m just…not used to being in the spotlight. Everyone’s judgmental eyes make me nervous.”I frowned, my hand tightening on her chin. “And why would anyone judge you?”Her voice faltered as she looked away. “In my pack…everyone despised me for not having a wolf. I haven’t shifted yet. It’s only a matter of time before your pack finds out, and then they’ll look at me the same way—with disgust.”Anger surged within me, not at her, but at the people who had made her feel so small.“This isn’t your old pack, Lila,” I said firmly, my voice unwavering. “This is the Blue Moon Pack, and you’re their Luna. No one here will judge you. They’ll respect and love you—not because of me, but because of the incredible person you are. My pack is different, and you’ll see that soon enough.”I pulled her into my chest, wrapping my arms around her as I stroked her back gently. The s
ElliotWe hadn’t even had a proper date before the wedding. Yes, a wedding. I was planning it because, in four weeks, we’d know the genders of our twins, and I wanted her to be my wedded wife and the official Luna of my pack before then.But tonight wasn’t about the wedding—it was about our first date. A surprise date night to win her heart. When I was little, I often heard Mom complaining to Dad and her friends that Dad didn’t take her on dates anymore, he was so occupied with work that he completely forgot he had a wife and son, too. I wanted my mate to be at ease, knowing that she was my first priority no matter what was happening around us. She had been stubborn, of course, protesting when I dropped her off at the salon, insisting she didn’t need the pampering. But I wasn’t in the habit of taking no for an answer.“Alpha, the food is ready,” the chef announced, pulling me from my thoughts as I carefully arranged the bouquet of roses on the reserved private table.“Make sure there
Lila“The baby is healthy and growing faster than I expected,” the doctor said warmly, his laugh echoing softly in the quiet room, easing my nerves. It was my first checkup with Elliot, and he was seeing the small fetus for the first time, so I was nervous.Dr. Henry, the pack doctor, was a man in his mid-forties with salt-and-pepper hair and a calm demeanor that put me at ease. He seemed knowledgeable, someone Elliot clearly trusted—a fact I suspected, knowing he wouldn’t have brought me to a doctor he had any doubts about.Elliot sat beside the doctor, his gaze fixed on the ultrasound screen. A faint smile curved his lips as he watched the tiny image of our child. When his eyes flicked to mine, they shone with raw emotion, a vulnerability I rarely saw in him.“Congratulations, Alpha. You’re having twins,” Dr. Henry announced with unrestrained excitement.Twins?The words hit me like a gust of wind, stealing my breath.“Thank you, Henry,” Elliot said politely, his voice steady despit
ElliotI watched as Lila licked her lips, savoring the chocolate pastry with a soft moan that made my cock twitch into my pants. The feel of her on my lap, completely unaware of the fire she was stoking, tested every ounce of my self-control.She shifted slightly, and I knew the moment she realized the effect she had on me. Her heart rate spiked, and she inhaled sharply. My body tensed against hers, every nerve screaming in torment as I battled the urge to claim what was mine.She took another deliberate bite, her eyes locking with mine as she smirked knowingly. The minx. Her tongue darted out, slowly licking the cream from her lips, and I couldn’t help the growl that escaped my throat. She was playing with fire, and she knew it.“You know,” I murmured, my voice low and rough as I leaned closer, “you’re playing a dangerous game.”Her confidence was intoxicating. I swiped a small bit of cream from her jawline with the pastry and leaned in to lick it off her skin, my tongue trailing slo
Lila"Get some rest. I’ve scheduled your appointment for the evening," Elliot said as he closed the door to his room behind him.Rest? That’s not what I needed. What I needed was… something else. Something I didn’t want to name but couldn’t deny craving deep down.I nodded absentmindedly and walked to the bedside table, pouring myself a glass of water. I sipped slowly, acutely aware of his eyes on me—hot and piercing, locked on my neck.“Stop staring,” I said, trying to sound firm, though my cheeks warmed under his intense gaze. “It’s bad manners.”He chuckled, the sound low and utterly sinful, before settling beside me on the bed, far too close for my nerves.“Then teach me good manners,” he murmured seductively, his voice a silky caress that made a shiver ripple down my spine. “Because I only know bad ones.”How was I supposed to resist a man with such a deep and sexy voice like that?Before I could reply, my stomach let out a soft rumble, cutting through the silence and betraying m
Elliot“You follow my commands, Kai, not your Luna’s,” I snapped as we settled into his car.The words came out harsher than intended, but he had no idea how terrified I’d been seeing Lila at the pack borders. The thought of her choosing her father over me made my chest tighten, suffocating me with an ache I couldn’t ignore. Yet, she hadn’t. Against all odds, she had stood by my side, defying the man who raised her. The memory of her unwavering trust replayed in my mind, and pride swelled in my chest.My wolf was ecstatic, practically howling with joy. Lila had chosen me, trusted me over her father. I could still imagine the look on that fucker’s face when she put her hand on my arm and stood with me. Oh, how I wished someone had captured that moment—his stunned expression was a sight worth framing.“I’m not your Luna,” she muttered, pouting with a frown.“Yet,” I countered smoothly, a smirk playing on my lips.She rolled her eyes at me, and I seized her chin gently, tilting her face
Lila“Elliot!” The cry tore from my throat as I sprinted toward them. Both men froze, their iron grips on each other’s throats loosening the moment I entered their line of sight.My father’s eyes widened in shock as I skidded to Elliot’s side. He was seething with rage, his chest heaving as his icy gaze flicked between me and my father.“I told you not to let her out!” Elliot’s roar reverberated through the clearing, his anger directed at Kai. “And you brought her here?”Kai lowered his head in submission, his voice steady but laced with tension. “Luna told me to bring her to you. I couldn’t deny her request, Alpha.”The air thickened as both Alphas squared off again, their powerful auras crashing together like waves in a storm. It was suffocating, even for me, but I forced myself to stand tall, ignoring the invisible weight pressing down on me.“My daughter is not going to become your Luna,” my father growled, his voice vibrating with fury.Elliot’s arm snaked around my waist, pullin
LilaI watched him walk away, his presence leaving a hollow ache in the air between us. My lips still tingled from his kiss, my body betraying me with its restless longing. He hadn’t given me a chance to ask why he left so abruptly, but I knew it was urgent. The intensity in his eyes during the mindlink told me as much.The moment his hand had brushed my thigh, my wolf stirred, her dormant presence waking with a surge of energy. It felt primal, raw, and utterly intoxicating. Though most of that night at the club was a drunken haze, something about him had triggered her. I didn’t know how or why, but now that I was in his pack, answers seemed inevitable.The heat of a blush crept up my face as I tried to regain control of my emotions. I couldn’t afford to get swept away by his touch or his words. Not yet. Trust was fragile, and I had learned the hard way not to give it away freely.But he was my mate. The bond pulsing between us was undeniable, no matter how much I tried to resist it.
