EREBUS POV.I've never been so satisfied to see someone burning red with fury, he slammed the door open and shut, standing before me seething with fury.“Oh, Alpha Zed, take you long enough, have your seat.” I offered, blowing invisible dust at the tip of my nails, I wanted him to suffer and perhaps wallow in pain, the bastard and I had never seen eye to eye, it was just as anything else, we hated each other, what more could be there to discuss.but perhaps this is the best time to take my payback.“Seat? Is that what you called me out here for, lord erebus?” He asked, his voice dripping with sarcasm, “It's about trivia, so would you like to be civil about it, or do you want to cause a ruckus?” I asked, I could see a bitter frown stretch on his face, my words were like thorns to his flesh, in which he grabbed the stem of the flower even tighter, glaring wide eyed at me with more anger.He had fire, I would give him that, too much fire for someone in his position, a laugh escaped my l
ZEDS POV.Moment of truth,This was bullshit; I never for once thought I would have to speak to Erebus about it, and most importantly, I never expected myself to come out about this to all people. It was as dramatic as one would believe, yet here I am, about to do just that.“Zed?” He called out in a faint tone, I had never seen him so calm my entire life, I mean, how was it so easy for him to speak about our relationship like this? How could he be so calm about the entire thing?He confessed his feelings to me like it didn't matter.“Do you remember the annual ball?“ I have corked my brows up with him.“We've had many annual balls; for goodness sake, could you be more specific Zed?” he asked. I felt a tingle run down my spine hearing him call out my name without honorifics or title.“The one where the red blood moon had happened?” I asked, and he nodded on cue.“That was years ago; what does that have to do with anything?” He asked in response, getting rather antsy and quite eager.“
EMBRY'S POV.“You disgusting pig, how could you do this to me?” I asked, slamming the door behind me. I would hate to cause a scene in his pack, but I swear at this moment I knew he deserved more of a good beatingI could see Erebus's calculating gaze remained pinned on mine; he had this glint in his eyes that screamed arrogance. I didn't know him personally; we went to a few meetings together, but that's it. I had always known better than to get mixed up with him.“That's not what you think, Embey; please tone it down and let me explain for fuck's sake,” Zed pleaded, but an even louder scoff had! lips.“That's not what I think? Can you listen to yourself? See how hard your fucking cock and his is?”I asked, they both their eyes to their cocks their bulge pressing against,A frustrated screech escaped my lips; the bastard still intended to lie to me? I was in many ways that others, we had phone sex merely hours ago, and this is all he intends to do? That bloody bastard.“ Oh, this is E
ZED's POV.“I fucked up, I really did, and we only just... made up after years of fighting, How did I cause this mess?” I asked, running my fingers into my hair, and my eyes locked with his for a moment, and although he kept a straight face on, acting in, I could see a flash through his orbs.“I'm sorry, Erebus, you didn't deserve to get punched too.” I apologised; however, he had avoided my gaze, wavering his eyes off of mine for a moment. “It's okay,” he responded in a faint tone; "It doesn't even hurt that much.” He, breaking eye contact with me, I held his arm in place, pulling closer to him, I placed a gentle kiss on his lips, just as a form of reassurance that he had no reason to be worried.“You did nothing wrong, okay? I'll sort this mess out; just hang on for a moment. I need to explain things to him; he's quite stubborn, though. I off at the end of my word as Erebus laughter. Reskin into my cousin.“You look pretty zed,” he whispered, glazing his fingers across my lips and

TRIVIA'S POV.Popping my eyes open, the occurrences of the previous night had struck me; I popped my head up, my palms against my eyes.No. No, no trivia, no, what have I done?” I asked, clattering my teeth, my fingers ruffled beneath my hair as I glanced around; luckily, they were not in.No, scratch that; I wasn't in the studio anymore. I was in a room different from the one I had seen myself in; this wasn't Zed's room; it looked different, enormous; the bed was gigantic, cold, childcraft down my spine… Oh... was this bedroom meant for all four of us?.I, to my feet, the iciness of the cold tiles had shot through my skin; it looked just the same as every other thing, better perhaps, I grumbled beneath my breath, walking to the other end of the room.The rooms are huge, with two pillars standing between them, the four massive chandeliers serving as lighting for the room, and the heavy draped curtains having flowed in the direction in which the breeze had blown.It had an eerie yet be
TRIVIA POV.I didn't do it; it wasn't me! She's lying; the birch had planned it all. She wants me to look like the villain. Someone, please believe me!I wanted to scream those words; I wanted to explain it all to them; I wanted to scream my pain out; fear engulfed me, and a chill feeling tingles on my spine, but I didn't; instead, I stood tall, watching her writhe in pain as the maids had lifted her up, each person causing a hassle and reaching for a doctor, searching for Zed and...“A pathetic joke!” I blurted out, tossing the salad off towards the floor. I turned on my fears heading towards the door, my heart shed in my chest as I locked gazes with that of Zeds Emrys and Erebus.The trio was sweaty, each having a stunned expression. Zed had said nothing but hastened his steps towards Hayley.I walked past Embry and Erebus; none had said a thing to me. They watched in silence as I made my way past them, with my head held high and my shoulders straight, walking until I was out of re
EREBUS POV.married?.I exchanged glances with Trivia and then Embry; both were just as dazed as they were, and it surprised me. Was I really ready for marriage? Were they?.“Embry, are you… Are you certain? We need some time to unwind, and the people know.” I trailed off, urging him to go slow, but Thayer and Unilook had made it clear that his mind was solely made up.*We have all the time of our lives to make them accept us; if they won't, then that's on them, but I hate… hate... hate seeing people think my love for someone else is while I hide my actual love; Haykeys child isn't mine; it's for a gamma of mine. I told her to get her BGS easy and leave with him; I offered him enough wealth to start them up and settle them in a faraway place. He gets it; we've spoken like true men, and she's leaving dawn.” He explained I had always had the edgy feeling that the child wasn't his; he had no attachment or airs to her, and even when he had rushed towards her earlier today, he didn't do s
EREBUS’S POVThe room was quiet, except for the faint scratch of pen on paper and the occasional crackle of the fire. I leaned back in my chair, rubbing a hand over my face as I stared at the endless reports spread across the table. Running a pack was hard enough, but merging three packs and the Lycans’ territory into one? It felt impossible some days. But I didn’t regret it. Not for a second. Our decision to merge the packs had been a bold one, but it was the right one. Together, we were stronger, safer, and better equipped to protect our family. I glanced out the window, the sprawling landscape of our territory bathed in the soft light of the afternoon sun. This was home now. And at the heart of it was Trivia. The thought of her brought a faint smile to my lips, even as exhaustion tugged at me. She was the reason we worked so hard, the reason we pushed ourselves to the brink every day. “Still working?” Zed’s voice broke through my thoughts. I turned to see him lean
TRIVIA’S POVThe ocean stretched endlessly before us, its waves sparkling like a sea of diamonds under the golden afternoon sun. The air was warm but carried a light breeze that smelled of salt and freedom. Everything about this place felt surreal—perfect in a way I’d only ever imagined. We were staying in a secluded villa perched on the edge of a cliff, its large windows and open layout making it feel like the sea was part of the house itself. The honeymoon had been Zed’s idea, though Erebus had insisted on finding a place as breathtaking as this. Embry, true to his nature, had made sure every detail was flawlessly planned. “Relax, Trivia,” Erebus said, lounging on the oversized outdoor daybed as he sipped a glass of wine. He was shirtless, his toned chest glistening in the sun, and his green eyes sparkled with mischief. “You’re making us nervous with all that pacing.” “I’m not pacing,” I said, pausing mid-step. “You are,” Zed chimed in, his golden eyes crinkling with amuseme
TRIVIA’S POVThe morning sun streamed through the windows, bathing the room in a soft, golden glow. The air hummed with a mixture of excitement and nerves as I stood before the mirror, adjusting the delicate lace on my dress. It was beautiful—soft ivory with floral embroidery that cascaded down the skirt like a meadow in bloom. The dress wasn’t flashy, but it was me. And today was ours. A knock at the door broke through my thoughts. “Come in,” I called, my voice trembling slightly. The door creaked open, and Erebus stepped inside, his usual smirk replaced with something softer. He was dressed in a dark green suit that complemented his eyes, his hair styled in a way that made him look almost regal. “Wow,” he said, his voice low as he took me in. “You look... perfect.” My cheeks warmed, and I turned back to the mirror, fussing with a loose strand of hair. “I don’t know about perfect. My hands won’t stop shaking.” He crossed the room in two strides, gently taking my hands in
ZED’S POVThe grass beneath us was cool, opposite to the heat still radiating from our bodies after the fight. The silence between the three of us felt less like an absence and more like an understanding. There was a weight to it—a shared acknowledgment of everything that had brought us here. But then Erebus broke it, as he always did, his smirk returning full force. “We stink.” Embry shot him a look, his lips twitching as if suppressing a smile. “You stink. The rest of us are fine.” “Speak for yourself,” I said, running a hand through my hair. Sweat clung to my skin, the fight leaving me sticky and in desperate need of a shower. Erebus stretched lazily, his grin widening. “Well, if we’re all in agreement, let’s do something about it.” He was on his feet in a second, offering a hand to pull me up. I took it, and Embry followed without a word. The cool night air bit at my skin as we made our way back to the house, our bare feet quiet against the earth. Inside, the silence o
TRIVIA POVThe dining room felt lit by the soft glow of candlelight that bounced off the polished wood table. The four of us sat together, plates of food spread out before us. It was rare to have such a quiet evening, just us, no pack business, no outside worries. I cherished these moments more than I could ever express. Erebus was on my right, lazily twirling his fork through a pile of roasted vegetables, his sharp eyes scanning the room like he was still expecting trouble to walk through the door. Across from me, Embry leaned back in his chair, sipping from a glass of red wine, his stoic expression softened by the faintest hint of a smile. Zed, to my left, was the only one eating with real enthusiasm, his plate already half empty as he reached for a second helping. “This is nice,” I said softly, breaking the comfortable silence. Zed turned to me, his lips quirking into a grin. “It is. We should do this more often.” “We should,” Erebus agreed, though his tone carried a touch
TRIVIA POVThe dining room felt warm and intimate, lit by the soft glow of candlelight that bounced off the polished wood table. The four of us sat together, plates of food spread out before us. It was rare to have such a quiet evening, just us, no pack business, no outside worries. I cherished these moments more than I could ever express.

EREBUS POVThe ride back to the territory was filled with a comfortable tension, the kind that lingered between people too connected to let words truly hurt but too proud to leave certain feelings unspoken. Embry’s voice rose above the hum of the car, his tone sharp yet tinged with exasperation.“A *hug*, Erebus? You *hugged* him?” he repeated, as though saying it louder would make it more absurd. “How do you expect me not to be jealous when you pull something like that?”Zed snorted from his seat, running his fingers through Trivia’s hair as she leaned against him. “I’m more worried about how long you two were alone. It’s Alaric, after all.”“Both of you are impossible,” I muttered, gripping the wheel tighter as the road stretched endlessly before us. “It was just a hug—a *friendly* one, mind you. What was I supposed to do? Push him away?”“Yes,” they both replied in unison.I laughed despite myself, the sound cutting through the charged atmosphere. Trivia stirred slightly, her lashe
ZED'S POV The frown on my face hardened as I cut into the bacon served on my plate. I had long lost my appetite the very moment Ethan had asked for his own food and settled into the chair.I didn't want to seem like an annoying, insecure, and overprotective lover at first, which is why I didn't want to seem way too forward. I tried holding my sanity and anger, but I just couldn't avoid it.I couldn't afford to hold it in anymore, seeing how often Ethan stole glances at Trivia, who was way too busy minding her food to observe my obviously annoying brother keeping his gaze pinned to her.Even after I had given him a stern warning to clear off her and told him she was my mate, he still would not stop gawking shamelessly in her direction; it was making me sick and causing me such irritation I never had to withhold before. Filled with anger, I slammed my fork and spoon against the table, dressing all of their attention towards me while I glanced in direction.“Are you here to eat? Or her
ZEDs POV.It's been two weeks since the full moon, two weeks since we had our fight, two weeks since we last spoke of the distance between us. I wasn't entirely sure how to act or what to wish for, but I believe I already had enough.She snuggled even closer to me, and a smile settled on my lips as I watched her push her eyes open lazily before a yawn eased through her lips.“Good morning, my love." I greeted her, and she smiled faintly before pulling even closer to me.I wanted times like this to last forever—times like this when we had not a single care in the world other than being in each other's arms—this was all I wished for.“What!” She asked, giggling while my gaze remained pinned on her.“Nothing, is anything wrong?” I asked again, and she smiled faintly before letting out a gentle laughter.“You keep staring at me; it makes me anxious, you know?” She asked. I leaned forward to settle a kiss on her temples and down to her lips.“It's just that you look way beautiful each time
