Through Olivia’s EyesI was nervous.No, scratch that, I was terrified.It was all going to come down to this moment, and I silently prayed to the Goddess for everything to go perfectly. Everything depended on this first shift.As I entered the hall, though, I couldn’t help but feel some satisfactio
As Seen by the PackFor a moment the pack was silent.Then it was not.The hall erupted into noises of excitement and fascination, as everyone stared at the new Luna of Eclipse. They’d been sure they’d seen wolves in all colors—brown, red, gray, black, even white—but never had they seen a wolf like
“I saw your Mark glowing,” I said, narrowing my eyes at him a little. I couldn’t let him think he’d get away with that—it raised too many questions, even if I was too overjoyed right now to be concerned about any of them. It was hard to be concerned about anything when I had my wolf back. Elroy jus
I was still processing that kiss, but apparently my wolf wasn’t so flustered. Well well, I heard her say, almost amused at my internal struggle, It’s good to see you’re doing so well. I flushed bright red at the implication, but the embarrassment was secondary to the overwhelming joy of hearing her
In the dream, he looked at me with the same spine-tingling hunger of that first night, only this time I was sober. It didn’t change the way my thighs clenched, or the nearly overwhelming desire that he made me feel, but now I could give as good as I got. And I got it good.His cock filled me up exac
Through Olivia’s EyesI must be confused. I was still dreaming, right? Why else would Elroy be in here, looking at me like that?Nope, my wolf said cheerfully. You are 100% awake right now! There was a long moment of silence where I just stared into his eyes, which were blown wide in interest. My
Except…everyone avoided me.I was thrown off, honestly, not sure how to proceed, but I couldn’t just leave. So I held my head high and made for the hors d’oeuvres, determined to find somebody to chat with. I was disgusted to find many of the plates had tuna, something I knew I couldn’t eat while pre
I shook myself, putting on a stern face. I couldn’t know if what she was saying was true, but even if it was that didn’t change the situation I was in with Rita at that moment. I had to handle her first, without letting her know how deeply she’d shaken me.I looked down at her finger in my chest, un
Elroy’s POV I wanted to punch a hole in the wall. This was impossible, obviously, given the walls were thick stone, but the intention remained! "Damn it!" I growled, pacing inside my mom’s rooms. I resisted the urge to snarl. I didn’t want to upset Mom. "That so-called 'emergency' was nothing
Iris's cool fingers pressed against my skin, her touch gentle yet probing. I held my breath, waiting for her verdict. I knew everything was fine, but for some reason this was still nerve-wracking. "Well, Olivia," Iris said, her voice soft and melodic, "I'm pleased to say you're in perfect health."
I was allowed to go back to the manor after a blood pressure check, but Elroy was adamant that I rest for the remainder of the day. I gave up a token protest, not wanting to be taken from the investigation, but to my surprise even Astor backed up his brother. "I'll look into Midnight Echoes," the
Mrs. Davis wiped her eyes and reached for her phone with shaky hands. "I should call Tommy," she murmured. "He'll want to be here." I nodded: Thomas Davis was Sarah’s older brother, Mrs. Davis’s only available relative, and handing over this situation to someone else to handle sounded really, real
The summer breeze caressed my skin as I stepped out of the car, a welcome respite from the oppressive heat that had plagued the city for weeks. I felt so much better today, and I hated that it was probably because of Elroy’s visit. The baby's energy wasn’t draining me the same way, and I could focus
Astor's steely eyes bore into mine, challenging, daring me to look away. But I held his gaze, my jaw clenched and shoulders squared. The air crackled with tension as we faced off in silent combat. Seconds stretched into an eternity. My heart pounded, but I refused to show weakness. Finally, Astor'
I squinted at the files in front of me, the lightning outside casting dancing shadows across the room. The musty scent of old books filled my nose as I hunched over the heavy oak table, surrounded by stacks of records and case files. "I thought investigating crimes would finally get me out of this
My body was tired enough to demand sleep, though, so at least I wasn’t laying awake all night. Still, I woke up early and extricated myself from Elroy's embrace. I couldn’t stand the mess anymore, and what the shower didn’t wash away the bidet would. Sadly, by the time I was done Elroy was awake
Elroy's fingers traced the curve of my spine, sending shivers through my body as he undressed me. I closed my eyes, determined to enjoy this. Think of it as giving yourself a reward for your victory today, I thought to myself. Sex didn’t have to mean anything. "You're incredible, Olivia," Elroy
