Olivia's POV The morning light broke through the trees, casting long shadows across the clearing where remnants of last night’s chaos still lingered. Warriors patrolled the edges of the Pack grounds, their gazes sharp, while others worked to clear debris and secure defenses. My muscles ached, bu
Ethan's POV The faint scent of lavender and cedar greeted me as I entered Olivia’s Pack House. It was hers, grounding and contradictory, like the woman herself. Her voice drifted down the hallway, speaking to one of her Betas, firm but kind. I followed the sound until I found her in the office,
I cursed under my breath, the pieces falling into place. Chloe had always been a master manipulator, and her backing Aiden wasn’t out of motherly devotion. She wanted control: of him, of the Pack, of the Alpha Council. “Did he give any idea of where Aiden might be hiding?” I asked. Marlus shook

My jaw tightened, the insinuation making my blood boil. “Stay away from her,” I said, my voice low and dangerous. Matthew tilted his head, feigning confusion. “I’m not sure I understand. Olivia and I are friends. Besides, a strong Luna is free to make her own choices, isn’t she?” I took a step c
Olivia's POV The familiar hum of Lunera Beauty’s labs was a welcome slice of normalcy after Aiden’s attack. The sharp scent of distilled oils and faint hints of floral blends filled the air, grounding me in a way I hadn’t felt in days. Here, at least, I was in control. Or so I told myself. I l
Ethan's POV Amelia sat across from me in the dim light of my Pack House’s meeting room, her hands twisting nervously in her lap. Her hesitation hung heavy in the air. I leaned forward, resting my arms on the table between us, my leg tapping impatiently beneath the table. "You’ve been avoiding
Olivia's POV The sunlight filtered softly through the nursery window, casting a golden glow over the room. I sat in the oversized rocking chair, holding one of the twins – our daughter, Marley – close to my chest. Her tiny fingers curled around mine, her soft coos a melody that calmed my heart.
My heart raced, but not from fear. This was it, the moment I’d been bracing for, waiting for, and dreading in equal measure. “Breathe, Luna,” Maren’s soft voice instructed. I tried, but it was impossible to focus with the mix of emotions swirling inside me. Anticipation. Pain. Joy. Panic. The
Ethan's POV I sat at my desk, staring at the reports of final integration for the Pack merger. The words blurred together as my thoughts wandered to Olivia. My wolf stirred, not with restlessness but with quiet contentment. A smile tugged at my lips as I ran a hand through my hair. If someone ha
As Kelvin left with his warriors, I turned to Olivia, her expression contemplative. “You’ve built something incredible,” I said softly. “And now, it’s going to make a difference far beyond what we imagined.” She smiled, the tension easing from her shoulders. “We’ve built it,” she corrected. The
Ethan's POV Alpha Kelvin’s arrival was as unexpected as it was intriguing. I stood on the porch of the Pack House as his car pulled into the driveway, flanked by two of his warriors. His presence here wasn’t entirely surprising; Kelvin had been a consistent ally, but the timing piqued my curiosity
He shook his head, stepping forward. “No, thank you. I won’t stay long.” His voice was confident as ever, but lacking the usual edge. We led him to the sitting area, the warmth of the fire casting shadows across his face. He sat stiffly, hands clasped in front of him, and for a moment, I could see
Ethan's POV I stood at the edge of the newly built meeting hall. Inside, the chatter of Stone Haven and Thorne Ridge Pack members blended into a hum of anticipation. The final steps of the merger were unfolding, and for the first time, everything felt... right. I glanced across the room where
Ethan stepped closer, his presence grounding me in a way no one else could. "You’ve been handling it flawlessly, though. Everyone’s captivated by you tonight." I tilted my head, raising an eyebrow. "Captivated? That’s a strong word." He smirked, his voice dropping into a softer, more teasing ton
Olivia's POV Crystal chandeliers cast shimmering reflections across the floor of the Lunera Beauty gala, the elegance of the venue matched only by the energy buzzing through the room. Dressed in a sleek gown that hugged my frame, I stood at the edge of the crowd, watching as Council members, Alp
