Milana

The journey to Saccer was unlike anything I had ever experienced before. The lush forests and rolling hills that surrounded the Alpha’s mansion gradually gave way to bustling towns and sprawling landscapes. Though I was grateful for the change of scenery, my nerves refused to settle.

I fidgeted in my seat, my hands clasping and unclasping in an effort to calm myself. This was the first time I had ever traveled so far, especially with someone else. Of course, Maximus wasn’t just anyone—he was my husband now, my mate—but the novelty of the situation made me feel unsteady.

Max seemed entirely at ease, his posture relaxed as he glanced out the window. His presence was a source of comfort, but it also amplified my desire to appear composed. The last thing I wanted was to embarrass myself or him by doing something wrong.

The words of Amel, my ever-enthusiastic maid, surfaced in my mind: Maybe this trip is your honeymoon.

The thought made my cheeks burn. If this truly was a honeymoon,

    Milana’s POVThe soft light of dawn crept through the curtains, casting a pale glow over the penthouse. I sat on the edge of the bed, fingers fiddling with the hem of my robe. Sleep had eluded me for hours, my mind plagued by unanswered questions and lingering frustration from the day before. Just as I finally decided to lay down and rest, the sound of the door opening caught my attention.Maximus stepped into the room, his broad shoulders framed by the dim hallway light. His usually sharp features seemed softer in his exhaustion. He barely acknowledged my presence, his movements slow and deliberate as he shed his jacket and boots.I wanted to say something—to ask where he had been or why he hadn’t told me—but the words caught in my throat. He climbed into bed without a word, his heavy frame sinking into the mattress as sleep claimed him almost instantly.I sighed, watching his peaceful face for a moment before turning off the lamp. The room fell into darkness, the only sound was his

    Milana’s POVThe sunlight streaming through the glass window warmed my skin, gently pulling me from the depths of sleep. My eyes fluttered open, adjusting to the soft glow filling the room. The day was just beginning, but a comforting stillness lingered. I stretched slightly, savoring the warmth, before turning to my right.There he was. Max. Asleep and utterly at peace. His chest rose and fell steadily, his dark lashes a stark contrast against his skin. The harshness that usually clung to him, the commanding presence that seemed to fill every space, was gone. In its place was a rare softness, and I couldn’t look away.For a moment, I simply watched him, my mind wandering. How strange he was—this man who had ignored me the other day as if I didn’t exist, only to hold me with such tenderness last night. My lips curled into a small, involuntary smile. The contradictions in him baffled me. Yet, as I sat there, watching the golden sunlight cascade across his features, I couldn’t help but

    Milana’s POVMax had told me to dress casually for our outing, but I couldn’t help second-guessing my choice. I stood in front of the mirror, smoothing the soft yellow dress over my hips, worried it might not be appropriate. I didn’t even know where we were going, so how could I be sure? Meanwhile, Max looked effortlessly captivating in a simple sweater and denim pants. It felt unfair how easy it was for him to always look perfect.When we stepped out, I was surprised to find our destination was a mall. A mall? The idea caught me off guard. Growing up, I had never been to places like this for leisure. While Riana often indulged in shopping trips, I had always been left behind to clean up or tend to chores. I couldn’t even dream of spending money frivolously like other teenagers. But today, here I was, strolling through a high-end mall on Max’s arm.Max stayed close, guiding me gently as we navigated the shops. Every store we entered felt like stepping into a different world—luxurious,

    Milana’s POVThe atmosphere in the penthouse exuded a quiet elegance, yet beneath the surface, unspoken tension lingered as Max and I shared dinner. The table was impeccably set, silver utensils gleaming under the soft, golden lighting that cast a warm glow over the polished surface. Aromas of perfectly grilled steak and fresh herbs filled the space, mingling with the faint scent of the evening air wafting in through the slightly open balcony door.Max’s presence, always commanding, felt closer than usual tonight. His chair was positioned just near enough for me to feel the heat radiating from his body. Despite his imposing figure and the stoic silence that usually followed him, there was something inexplicably comforting about his nearness. He radiated a quiet strength, a steady force that both intimidated and intrigued me.I watched as he methodically sliced his steak into bite-sized pieces, each movement measured and deliberate. There was something tender in his actions, a contradi

With Max away for his business dealings again, solitude had become my constant companion. The quiet gnawed at me, sparking a restlessness that tugged at my every thought.Finally giving in to the itch to do something—anything—I decided on a simple task. Maybe I’ll go out and buy some snacks. It was a trivial errand, but the mere thought of stepping outside felt oddly freeing.I hesitated by the door, unsure if I should voice my decision. Could I just walk out alone? Then I remembered Max's words: You are Luna.I squared my shoulders, mustering a resolve that felt foreign. “I’m heading out for a bit,” I announced to one of the staff nearby. “Just to pick up a few things.”The woman blinked, surprised, before a polite smile curved her lips. “Of course, Luna. But please, allow me and one of the guards to accompany you.”A flicker of disappointment flashed through me—so much for

    MilanaBack at the penthouse, Max hadn't let go of me since we arrived. His arms remained secure around my waist as we sat on the bed, the soft mattress beneath us starkly contrasting the chaos we'd just escaped. Even though our clothes were still wrinkled and dusty from the supermarket ordeal, we neither moved to change or break the quiet stillness.Max held me as if afraid that if he let go, I'd disappear into thin air."You really think I'm going to wander off again, don't you?" I asked, attempting a lighthearted tone despite the weight of the evening."I know you will if I don't keep you close," he retorted, his deep voice tinged with a protectiveness that irritated and warmed me."You're not going to let me out of your sight anytime soon, are you?" I teased."Not a chance." Max's voice was teasing, but the protectiveness lingered beneath it. "You've proven to be a bit of a flight risk.""I was just buying snacks," I reminded him with mock indignation. " I didn't plan on a werewo

    MilanaLife with Max was an intricate blend of comfort and bewilderment, filled with moments that defied my understanding. Our connection's mystery never fully settled, even as our daily routines became more familiar. His presence—both commanding and protective—was a constant, and yet questions loomed over us like shadows refusing to dissipate.One question, however, clung to me relentlessly: How could Max be so sure I would bear his child?His unwavering belief baffled and unsettled me. There were no guarantees in life, no certainties that made his confidence logical, yet he spoke of our future with absolute conviction. I needed to understand why.As evening settled over the penthouse, casting long golden hues across the room, I turned to him, the weight of my thoughts heavy on my chest. " Why are you so sure?" I asked softly, my voice tentative yet firm.Max paused, his knife stilling over the plate. He looked up from his meal, his dark gaze steady. " Because you are my Luna," he sa

    Magnus' POVThe morning light streamed through the Alpha's dining hall windows, casting long shadows over the polished wooden floor. The aroma of freshly baked bread and brewed coffee mingled in the air. I sat at the head of the table, sipping from my cup while my mother, Luna Ann, gracefully ate her breakfast. Across from me sat Riana, her smile as perfect as always. Her eyes sparkled with a sense of triumph that had been growing ever since she solidified her place by my side.Still, my thoughts betrayed me. Milana's face hovered in my mind like a ghost refusing to be exorcised. I had decided months ago—rejecting her was supposed to be the right choice. She was a disgrace to her pack, too weak to support the ambitious future I envisioned for our own. I needed strength, not fragility, in a mate.And yet, here I was, haunted by echoes of her presence. The memory of her soft eyes and quiet resilience lingered stubbornly, casting shadows over every interaction I shared with Riana."Magnu

    Milana’s POVThe room was quiet, dimly lit by the soft glow of the bedside lamp. I lay sprawled across the plush mattress, staring up at the ceiling. Memories danced in my mind, vivid and tantalizing. It was always the same—those nights when Max and I had been lost in each other, tangled in passion. My lips curled into a small smile as I recalled the way he had whispered my name, his touch igniting a fire that burned hotter than anything I’d ever known.Max had a way of making me feel alive, as if the world outside didn’t matter. He could tease me with a single glance, a mischievous smile that sent my heart racing. He always knew what to say, what to do, to strip away any resistance I might have. He was magnetic, and I was powerless to resist him.But tonight was different. The memories weren’t enough to distract me from the heaviness in my body. For days now, I’d felt unusually fatigued. My energy was sapped, and I spent more time lying in bed than doing anything productive. Even the

    Riana’s POVThe pain from the lashes still burned across my back, each movement sending fresh waves of agony through my body. The wounds throbbed beneath the thin fabric of my dress, a constant, searing reminder of the public humiliation I had endured. But worse than the physical pain was the sting of their judgment. Their whispers followed me like shadows, hissing insults and mocking my fall from grace. I could feel their eyes on me, sharp and cold, as if their gazes alone could strip me of whatever dignity I had left.I moved cautiously through the packhouse, every step a test of my resilience. My body ached with every breath, my pride bleeding as heavily as my wounds. I kept my head high, but it was a façade—one that threatened to crumble under the weight of their ridicule. They had once envied me, admired me, sought to be me. Now, they watched with satisfaction as I suffered, their hatred palpable and unrelenting.Memories of who I used to be haunted me with every passing moment.

    Riana’s POVThe sharp, throbbing ache coursing through my body was the first thing I felt as I stirred from unconsciousness. My eyelids fluttered open, heavy and uncooperative, as I struggled to make sense of my surroundings. The familiar warmth and scent of my room greeted me, but the comfort it once brought felt distant and hollow. Every part of me hurt, like I had been ripped apart and pieced back together with trembling hands.A voice called my name, soft and trembling with worry. My head turned toward the sound, and I saw my mother standing by the bed, her face pale and streaked with tears. Her lips quivered as she tried to smile, but the sorrow in her eyes betrayed her. My father stood beside her, his usual commanding presence dimmed, his shoulders sagging under the weight of something unspeakable. The air in the room was heavy with grief, suffocating in its intensity.“Riana, my love,” my mother whispered, her voice breaking. She reached out, brushing a strand of hair from my d

    Riana’s POVThe sharp sting of Magnus’s slap reverberated across my cheek, the impact so fierce that my vision blurred momentarily. My head snapped to the side, and a gasp escaped my lips, though I quickly swallowed the sound, refusing to show weakness. The air between us burned with unspoken fury, thick with Magnus’s rage as he loomed over me, his face contorted in disdain.“You’re the source of all this chaos, Riana,” he spat, his voice venomous. “None of this would’ve happened if I hadn’t listened to you. You’ve ruined everything—my reputation, my future, my place in the pack. All of it!”I pressed my trembling hand against my stinging cheek, glaring up at him through tear-filled eyes. “Don’t act like this is all my fault, Magnus!” I shot back, my voice trembling but defiant. “You made your choices too. This wasn’t just me.”Magnus’s hand shot out, gripping my chin with brutal force and tilting my face toward him. His eyes burned with a mix of fury and frustration, his lips curling

    Riana's POVThe oppressive silence of the grand hall weighed down on me as I stood beside Magnus. My heart pounded, a mixture of indignation and unease twisting in my chest. This wasn’t how things were supposed to go. This wasn’t supposed to happen to me.The twelve elders sat in a perfect circle at the center of the room, draped in black robes that concealed their faces. Their mere presence radiated authority, making it hard to breathe. I swallowed hard, trying to maintain my composure as their eyes—or what I imagined were their eyes—bore into us."Magnus Hale and Riana Devereaux," one of them began, his voice a low rumble that reverberated through the hall. "Your recent actions have brought disgrace to this pack."I bristled at his words, my spine straightening as a surge of indignation coursed through me. Disgrace? The word echoed in my mind, fueling the fire of my growing frustration. How could defending myself, standing my ground, be seen as disgraceful? My nails dug into my palm

    Milana’s POVThe aftermath of the fight hung heavy in the air as Max turned to me, his stormy eyes scanning my face for any sign of injury. His hand brushed lightly against my arm as if to ensure I was still in one piece. "Are you okay?" he asked, his deep voice laced with concern.I nodded, brushing a loose strand of hair from my face. "I'm fine, Max. Really," I assured him. My voice was steady, though my adrenaline was still coursing through me. I didn't miss the way his jaw tightened, a muscle ticking as he silently assessed the situation."Milana, you went too far," Magnus's voice cut through the tension. His tone carried both frustration and something else-something almost desperate. He stood next to Riana, who was leaning against him, her face pale and her once-polished appearance now a shadow of its former glory.I raised an eyebrow at him, my lips curving into a smirk. "Did I? Last I checked, she was the one who attacked me first." My voice was calm, yet laced with enough veno

    Milana’s POVThe shrill pitch of Riana’s scream cut through the tranquil garden like a blade, drawing every pair of eyes in our direction. Whispers and murmurs rippled through the crowd as they turned to watch the spectacle unfolding before them. I didn’t flinch or falter, my gaze fixed on her as she stomped toward me with fury etched across her delicate, arrogant features. Riana always carried herself as if she were the center of the universe, her confidence built on years of entitlement and manipulation. With her perfectly styled updo and designer gown clinging to her every curve, she looked every bit the queen of her own delusional world.But to me, she was nothing more than a thorn—a nuisance that pricked but never truly hurt. Her sense of superiority had always grated on me, but tonight, I welcomed it. She had made her move, and I wasn’t about to back down.Her voice trembled with rage as she screamed again, calling me names and throwing accusations that barely registered in my m

    Milana’s POVThe evening air in the garden was cool, carrying the faint scent of blooming roses. I turned at the sound of approaching footsteps, expecting perhaps Daisy again. Instead, my breath hitched. Standing there, bathed in the silvery glow of the moonlight, were two men I knew all too well—Lewis and Magnus.A chill crept up my spine as my gaze locked on them, though I quickly masked it with a cold glare. Of all the people I could have encountered tonight, these two were the last I wanted to see. The weight of their presence was suffocating, like a shadow stretching across the moonlit garden.Lewis’s sharp eyes raked over me, dissecting me with a look that felt invasive, as though he could uncover every thought in my mind. There was something unnerving about the way he stared—intense, calculating, as if I were a puzzle he desperately wanted to solve. His demeanor was far from warm or fatherly, despite his earlier claims of being my blood. Instead, it was laced with a possessiven

    Milana’s POVThe soft glow of the vanity lights reflected off the delicate silver necklace clasped around my neck as I adjusted it one last time. Max stood behind me, his towering presence as steady and commanding as ever, watching me through the mirror with an approving gaze."You look perfect," he said simply, his voice carrying that effortless authority that always made my chest tighten.I turned slightly, letting the soft fabric of the emerald gown cascade around me. The rich green hue complemented my skin tone perfectly, bringing out the subtle warmth in my complexion. Max had chosen it with his usual impeccable taste—fitted at the waist to accentuate my figure, while the skirt flowed down in a cascade of silky folds, brushing lightly against the floor. The neckline was modest yet alluring, with just enough to hint at elegance without being overly revealing. Every detail of the dress was designed to make a statement, from the intricate stitching to the delicate shimmer that caugh
