THIRD POV.It had been hours since the heavy news had settled on all four; each one knew they needed to face their fear and confide in the people they loved, but for Snow, the only peace they could find was in themselves.The door pushed open as the chef had walked over the enormous dimming table in the gigantic dining hall where they all met, each one having his or her conflicted thoughts and emotions.The look on their faces held questions behind them; nine said a thing to another. Travois sensed the awkwardness, but she herself had still been too stunned at her previous acts.“Sheila is gone, “Zed announced, breaking the silence, a low laugh escaping Embrys lips. He, it wasn't like he could bundle out in just the same way,Abibe felt as though he was still in pain; after all, he would be a father, and this was an uncertain future for him.“I'll be leaving for my pack tomorrow; I need to get it. Free things sorted out, I'll be back in five days... just around time for the wedding, E
EREBUS POV.I've suddenly become a horny beast, even though after I split my nuts it wasn't enough. I still wanted more for fucks. I wasn't satisfied, but how could I do that to her? She still has a lot of foaming in her head.Although she's just a mess like everyone else, it worried me to think she couldn't break us that easily. She turned us on way more than one; I've jerked off, lord of time, especially after the entire falling apart with, stroking my cock head, I think to relieve my jacked-up ass.But each time I was with her, I nutted way too quickly. It was a good thing, but I knew it was because she was in heat and the mate bond was driving in full force. Soon, when the cask sex behind, 'I'd go round; would she be able to handle it?.I was a king for a lot of fucking reasons, and I could wear that because my huge dick and hard-to-cum ratio were one of those.Anything to clean up this mess?”I asked T Zed, who had passed me the, in the split of a second, I had seen the same glin
TRIVIA'S POV.Although the huge chandeliers in the room provide enough light for the room, I still couldn't help but feel as though a portal might open anywhere in this gigantic room and Wright Rio me through a black hole.I would never have believed something like that perhaps three months ago, but I've been born and lived two lives; of course I understood everything had complications and there were forces more than the world that I could see.I bit into my fingernails, my mind racing, lots of thoughts easing across it.I had a lot to do, a lot of work to implement, and I needed to handle myself; I couldn't get too attached to them. What if they left? But they wouldn't be right?.Earlier, they didn't touch me; of course, I loved getting my body worshipped and my sucked from all its, but why not sex? Did they not like me? Or was it that I just wasn't attractive enough for them?I tossed on the huge end, curdling behind me and one before me, holding tight to air. My mind was a mess now
EREBUS POV.I walked out of the shower, dabbing the towel against my face, groaning with each type; my entire back is hurting now. I could say this was an intense sex we just had; both men were asleep, probably as drained as I was. They had taken their bath first, and I was the last to shower.“Roll over.” I whispered, falling into the bed beside them.“The wedding, the announcement, all three of us, trivia—I have to say I had no idea my life would take a fucking three hundred and sixty after meeting your likes.” I mumbled, rubbing my palms over my cheeks; a bright smile settled on Embry's face. He had the most darling blue eyes I had ever seen; no wonder Zed had fallen in love with him; he was breathtakingly handsome, and even when he had a rough personality and kept everyone at shoulder's length, he was a total fucking softie.“What?” He asked, propping his head into his palms, “You keep staring at me like you want to eat me and rip me apart, murmured a smirk settled on my lips,I p
EMBRY'S POV.I'm engulfed by a strong wave of guilt; we didn't mean to do it on her own, right? We shouldn't have left her be; my blood ran cold thinking something might have actually happened to her, although Zed claimed he heard her scream in the background.Was that enough certainty? It could have been anyone. Or what I'd... she was in the process of being killed? If it was easy and useless, then she was my wife. I knew her first, better. Anyone else. And I knew Travis was a strong woman, and it bothered me because things like this had happened many times but never so close.Although our marriage wasn't as blissful as it ought to be after the affair with Sheila, I always made sure to protect her from countless attacks and fights around the pack; I was on our toes away from all that.Now I realise she would go through a lot worse if we got married. We had enemies; lots of being the king came with a few death pearls for Erebus, and being the alpha king has its own troubles. I had it
ALARIC'S POV.“They'll be here any moment from now, princess.”I dragged the knife around her jaw line, she stiffened, although not from fear, but her eyes held rage in them; she had a strong defiance… And yes, she had a lot of fire for someone in her position; I'd give her that.“You sick, twisted bastard, you never catch a break, do you?” She snapped, anger laced into her words. She probably loathed me; anger laced into her words, I still had no idea how we met or how he could see Jeremy, who had a cloaking spell on, but I didn't care. I don't need to see her snare after.“Common, loosen her grip a little bit; I'm sure she can't knock us out of something besides this place is so far from the main villages she can barely run on foot.” Jeremy complained, and as soon as he pushed his way out of the doors, he placed them gently by her side.“I won't take my chances.” I grumbled, groaning from anger,Why was he so soft on her? Wp Besides, why was she so keen around him? She always went red
ALARIC'S POV.“How long have you been jerking off your cock to the pictures of him?” Jeremy asked bluntly, not leaving a little breathing space for me,I grumbled, I'm responding by shoving my way past him into the room.“Answer me!” He creamed; he was, the kite hubs now had flickered, the power running out and back on briefly.“What do you want me to say, man? That's all.” I lied knowing I couldn't bear to face him, not because I didn't want to hurt his feelings, but because I was confused as hell.“Take a piss? You reek of cum, you bastard! he snapped again, storming angrily towards me.“Well then, since you love to play detective so much, Fine! I had jerked off my cock and split my nuts to a picture of Erebus, okay?” I yelled in response, showing myself off his gasps. “Want that what you were dying to hear? Well, there you have it,” I asserted, running my fingers through my hair from frustration, panting heavily.“Why did you lie to me! How long have you been doing this?” Jeremy as
EREBUS POV.Pulling over by the doorstep, I highlighted out of the car in haste, Zed and Embry running after me. I had pressed in the keycode, slamming open the main doors to see Alaric crying, a blonde Scottish-looking man having his arms wrapped around him.“Don't give up… I love you." Alaric had pleaded, taking me rather by pleasant surprise. I was jealous, of course; I had been turned by Alaric, who had borne an unhealthy obsession over seeing a lot of importance and happiness in me.“?” I called out to him, off the tears from his eyes cleaning his making a jos expression once again like we had not just caught him bawling his eyes like a little princess.“Where is the trivia?” Zed was quick to ask, probably being the most guilt-tripped of all.“She's relaxed; the third room you can have her.” Alarix responded, clearing his throat to rid any event of his sobs, which had caused his voice to go hoarse and crack.“Something's not right; you don't go through the entire stitching pla
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
