Asher It was getting harder and harder to pretend that I wasn’t utterly consumed by my wife. Every time she walked into a room, it was like my senses betrayed me, honing in on her scent, smile, and how she tilted her head when she laughed. Day by day, I drowned in feelings I couldn’t fully explain or control. It was beyond desire.Standing on the terrace, I stared at the horizon as a gentle breeze teased through the trees. I told myself I was here for the fresh air, to clear my head, but it wasn’t working. All I could think about was Lila—the wise queen she had become. I exhaled heavily and leaned against the railing, trying to get a grip on myself.The sound of soft footsteps pulled me from my thoughts. She walked toward me, holding a glass of mango juice. The setting sun's light played on her skin, making her look ethereal. She handed me the glass with a smile.“Thought you could use this,” she teased.I smiled and took the glass, but instead of drinking, I set it on the small
Diana Jaden's panicked shout cut through the quiet afternoon like a knife. My heart sank as I dropped the basket of clean laundry and rushed toward the sound. My mind raced, imagining the worst, as I found him sprawled on the ground near the garden wall. His face was scrunched up in pain, and his hands clutched his knee, now grazed and bleeding."Jaden!" I exclaimed, kneeling beside him. "What did I tell you about climbing this surface? I warned you, didn't I?"His lips quivered, but he managed to pout. "I thought I was strong enough, Mommy."I sighed, scooping him into my arms despite his protests that he could walk. "Strength isn’t just about climbing walls or being reckless, young man. It's also about listening and staying safe."I carried him back inside; he sniffled, tears smudging my shoulder. His childlike pride broke my heart, but I couldn’t let him get away with thinking bravery was the same as recklessness.Once inside, I set him gently on the couch. "Now, let's take a look
Diana Waking up to Asher's morning wood spooning me made me immensely turned on. He was asleep, and his chest rose with each deep breath.There was just something about him that drove my heart rate higher and my thighs wetter than any orgasm I could ever recall in my long life.He was gorgeous. I felt like a total slut for wanting him so badly. Having the upper hand, I reached out for him without waking him up. His hardness was rugged against me again, and I was anxious to taste him, to take him into my mouth, or maybe even further. I ran my hands along his chest, and he made a slight sound and shifted in his sleep.I'd been fantasizing about his touch, scent, lips on my skin, and finally, here we were. He was mine. I wanted him to take me.Dipping down, I gripped his shaft. He was rock-hard and beautiful. My fingers circled his erection, feeling its urgent heat. I took him into my mouth, worshipping at his altar and taking him in with devout desire. But then his eyes fluttered open
Asher The day began as usual. I decided to invite Eddie to join us for lunch, but a part of him hesitated. Lila’s relationship with Eddie wasn’t what it used to be, and I wasn’t sure if she would be comfortable. Still, I figured it was worth asking.I found her in the kitchen, tying an apron around her waist. The sight of her preparing food always warmed my heart. Her hands moved deftly, cutting vegetables with a precision that was oddly satisfying to watch.I leaned against the counter and spoke. “I was thinking of inviting Eddie for lunch.”Pausing, her knife hovered mid-air. I thought she would refuse for a moment, but then she surprised me.“That’s fine. I'll make something nice.”I raised an eyebrow. “Are you sure? I mean—”She waved a hand dismissively. “It’s okay, darling. Really.”Her agreement put me at ease. “Alright, then. We’ll come after the morning court.”She nodded and got back to chopping.When Eddie and I entered the dining room after court, Lila greeted us warmly.
Diana My legs jittered uncontrollably beneath the table. The suffocating silence of the room pressed against me like a noose, tightening with every passing second. Stupid. That’s what I was—so stupid to think I could dodge every activity and obligation and hide here. My chest felt tight, and my fingers trembled as I dragged them through my hair.What the hell had I gotten myself into?The ritual made my stomach churn. This wasn’t some casual tea party I could gracefully bow out of. This was a deeply rooted tradition, sacred to the women of the pack. And now, I was back in a corner with no way out.I began to pace. It wasn’t just about showing up. It was about my wolf.Groaning, I gripped the edge of the chair for balance. Lila’s wolf and mine weren’t the same. Not even close. Lila’s wolf was grey, like most of the higher-ranked women in this pack. Mine was white. Pure, glaringly white. Anyone with a working pair of eyes would notice the difference immediately.“Oh God,” I muttered, f
Diana The room grew more chaotic. Five women, including Tatiana, were seated around me. Their voices blended into one endless symphony of arguments. One was debating the food menu for the Women's Ritual, while another squabbled about the ceremonial outfits. Tatiana had to have the loudest opinion, insisting on something extravagant.I sat there, nodding absently, like a zombie in the middle of a tragedy I couldn’t escape. My head throbbed, not from any real ailment, but from the stupidity of the conversations. They argued about the shade of fabric, the size of the banquet hall, even the sequence of events. Meanwhile, I calculated how long I could last before making up an emergency to escape this misery.“Lila, are you even listening?” Tatiana’s voice pierced through the fog of my thoughts.I plastered on a smile. “Oh, yes, of course. But I think you all have this under control.”Tatiana squinted at me but turned back to the others, and I exhaled softly. Moon Goddess help me, this is
Asher The car glided out of the airport, and the faint chatter of Eddie beside me filled the silence. Leaning back, I watched the city lights blur as we approached the five-star hotel where we’d be staying. The beauty of the place didn’t faze me anymore; I’d seen enough in my life. Still, I nodded in approval as we checked in and made our way to our rooms.Once inside my room, I dropped my bags on the polished floor and stretched. The mattress looked tempting, but we had no time to rest. I freshened up, checking my reflection in the mirror. My thoughts strayed to Lila, and I felt a pang of longing. I missed her.I grabbed my phone as we got back into the car to head to the center, The first call went unanswered, and I smiled knowingly. She was probably buried under the preparations for the women’s festival. I tried again, and this time, she picked up on the second ring.“Oh, honey!” her voice came through, breathless and warm. “I’m so glad to hear from you.”“You sound like I’ve been
Diana To smooth things over and avoid any suspicion from Asher after skipping the women’s ritual, I would give him what he wanted most.Sex.I knew how much he’d been yearning for us to fully seal our bond, and this would keep him basking in the euphoria of finally being with his wife.I walked to Lila’s wardrobe, feeling a pang of annoyance at the variety of lingerie she owned. How many did she need? I pushed through silk and lace until my fingers brushed against a stunning red set. It was bold, designed to tease without giving away everything. The straps were thin, crisscrossing at the back, and the material flowed like a second skin. I paired it with diamond drop earrings and an anklet, giving the outfit a sensual elegance. After some thought, I added a black robe that tied loosely at the waist, just enough to hint at what lay beneath.Satisfied, I stood before the mirror, adjusting the straps and letting my hair fall in loose waves over my shoulders. I dabbed on a nude lip color
DianaEddie was in the house. I could smell his stench of trouble from a mile away, and I couldn’t wait for all of this to be over so I wouldn’t have to see his wicked face again. I had already told the maid to inform him I wasn’t home. Asher wasn’t around either, but I could hear Eddie yelling at the maid downstairs, demanding to be allowed upstairs. His voice grew louder, and I heard the unmistakable threat in his tone.I had stayed in Asher’s room since spending the night there, but when I realized Eddie was about to escalate things, maybe even hit the poor maid, I couldn’t stand by any longer. I tightened my robe, steeling myself, and walked to the bannister.“What do you want, Eddie?” I called from upstairs, my voice firm.He looked up, his angry scowl melting into a taunting smirk. “My queen,” he said mockingly, “since when did you start lying about not being home? I came to deliver a message.”I crossed my arms, staring down at him. “Well, I told the maid I didn’t want to see a
MarcusI struggled to wrap my head around the possibility that two people could look identical.The image of the Lycan Queen haunted my thoughts, making it impossible to think clearly. Whenever I pictured her face, I knew deep down that it was Diana. No one could convince me otherwise. Diana and I had been married for years. She had been my Luna; no one knew her better than I did. Her face, eyes, lips—everything was the same.Well, almost everything. The way the Queen smiled seemed different. It had a breeziness that Diana never used to show. But even if there were slight differences, her refusal to come downstairs and meet her guests during my visit to the King’s territory screamed that something was wrong. I could smell the secrecy. Still, the big question remained: how could my ex-wife Diana be the Queen?Before I left the King's estate, I discovered that the King had twin six-year-old boys. That fact alone caused endless confusion because Diana and I divorced only a few months
DianaIn the past two weeks, I enjoyed an unusual period of calmness. It felt like a strange kind of sanity had finally returned to my life.I rested from the constant tension of looking over my shoulder. For once, I didn’t have to worry about Marcus lurking in the shadows or Eddie scheming to bring me down. Fear, I realized, had a way of eating away at your mind like cancer. Every move around the house felt weighted with the possibility of bumping into Marcus, and the mental toll was suffocating.During those dark days, anytime someone entered the house unexpectedly, I would stay upstairs and peek from the safety of the second floor until I was sure of the visitor. My nerves had been so tightly wound that I’d almost forgotten what it felt like to breathe freely. But now, with Marcus confirmed to be gone, the fear in my chest eased just a little.Of course, the lies and secrets still lingered. They were ticking time bombs, and I knew that Asher’s pain and rage would be unavoidable w
Diana Arching my hips, I met Asher thrust for thrust and moved under him, moaning as he filled me.When the climax came, it came for us both. Our bodies fused in one shared hot, sticky release, and I shuddered, blasted by bombs of pleasure. Utterly spent, Asher’s chest rose and fell with each deep, relaxed breath. I smiled warmly as I watched him, this beautiful man who had become my entire world. My eyes were drawn to the trail of tiny hairs running from the base of his neck to his navel. Gently, I reached out and let my fingers brush against them, feeling their delicate texture.I began to rub his chest in slow, soothing circles, feeling the heat of his skin beneath my touch. The moment felt intimate and peaceful, but my mind couldn’t entirely escape the storm of thoughts brewing inside me.That menace Marcus was still here, somewhere in the house, and the thought sank my heart. I knew Asher loved me deeply and would do anything I asked, but how could I tell him to dismiss Marcus
Asher My guest, Marcus, whom I wasn't particularly fond of but saw as someone I could see an advantage in allying with, had arrived.When he arrived, I had many back-to-back meetings and had to introduce him to Eddie earlier. Now, I joined them as Marcus bowed respectfully.“My pack sends their greetings,” he said, offering several boxes of gifts.“That wasn’t necessary,” I said, trying to keep my tone neutral. Internally, I wondered why I would need gifts from someone here to borrow money.“The queen has prepared us a sumptuous dinner; let’s join her,” I said, leading him to the dining room.The table was set, with the cooks and maids waiting to serve, but I noticed Lila’s absence.“Send for the queen,” I said, washing my hands. One of the maids bowed respectfully and left to fulfill my order.She returned moments later, bowing apologetically. “My king, the queen seems to be under the weather. She’s resting in her room, covered in a blanket, and has requested broth to be delivered t
DianaAfter successfully obtaining Theodore's hair, I went to the lab to get the testing done. But now I worried about what the technicians would think, and I had to navigate the delicate process of getting it tested without arousing suspicion.Being the supposed queen of the pack put me in the public eye. Gossip could spread like wildfire, and I needed to ensure this matter remained under wraps.I pushed open the door and slipped inside. The receptionist looked up as I entered and had a curious expression on her face. She recognized me and leaped off her chair.“My Queen,” she bowed.I hesitated for a moment, unsure of how much to reveal. "I need to get some testing done.” The head scientist, a man in his fifties with sharp eyes and a calm spirit greeted me. He didn’t strike me as someone who would spread rumors, but the people working under him might not be as silent."This is strictly confidential," I said, looking him straight in the eye when he led me to his office. "Can I trust
Diana I was getting ready for the night when I suddenly looked up and saw Josh standing at the entrance of my room. His mop of curly hair made him look even more adorable.My heart swelled with love and affection for him. “Hey, sweetie, come here,” I said, patting the bed beside me.He looked at me with a sad expression in his eyes and took a small step forward, holding a stuffed rabbit. My heart went out to him, knowing how he had been feeling down lately. I had been trying to spend more time with him and make him feel better, but with my own problems of unmasking Eddie and his cohorts, I wasn’t giving him the attention he deserved.“Come on.” I opened my arms wide. When he reached the bed, I scooped him up in my arms, lifting him onto the bed beside me. He snuggled into my chest, his hands wrapped tightly around me. I held him close, stroking his hair and back. All Josh needed was love and reassurance, and even though he wasn’t my biological child, if the tide turned in my favor,
AsherI lay in bed, sensing that something was bothering Lila. She was still, her back to me. I could feel the tension in her body in the way she held herself like she was trying to hold everything together.My hand rested on her hip. I waited for a response, hoping that she would relax into my touch. But she didn't. She didn't stiffen either, but she didn't melt into me like she usually did. Instead, she remained still, like she was a million miles away.Usually, when I touched her like this, she would turn around, snuggle into me, and we would spend the morning wrapped in each other's arms. I wanted to ask her what was wrong and fix whatever was bothering her. But I hesitated, knowing that sometimes, when she was like this, asking for answers only made things worse.So I stayed quiet, holding her, hoping that my presence would be enough to remind her that she wasn't alone. I held her close, feeling her warmth, her heartbeat, and her gentle breathing.Perhaps she was struggling with
DianaThe hotel doors slid open, revealing a lobby that screamed luxury. My eyes adjusted to the warm lighting that filled the space, scanning across the space in search of Eddie.I couldn’t wait to get this over with. I moved with quiet determination, making my way deeper into the lobby. Just as frustration bubbled to the surface, thinking the bastard hadn’t even shown up, I saw him. He was lounging on a sleek couch at the far end of the lobby, sipping a drink with the smugness of someone who thought they owned the world.When our eyes met, a wave of disgust crashed over me. I didn't bother to hide it. My stomach twisted, but I forced a cold, practiced smile onto my face as I approached him.“Oh, there you are,” Eddie drawled, his tone dripping with mockery. “I was beginning to think you wouldn’t show.”I kept my eyes locked on his, refusing to give him the satisfaction of looking away. Bullies thrived on fear, and I wasn’t about to give him any power over me. His smile widened as he
