Lyra’s POV I froze on the spot, unable to utter a single word. His admission had pulled the carpet from under my feet, leaving me confused. Had I misunderstood him in the last four years? His words still echoed in my head. Dimitra had abandoned them when they were a day old! Did that mean she never stayed with Leandros as a family? Did he bring them up single-handedly while I bore a grudge against him and stayed away? I didn’t know what to think anymore. The sound of the car door clicking shut brought me out of my dazed state. I saw Leandros carrying his sleeping pups into the house, one by one. He looked annoyed and ignored me as he went inside. I knew he was upset with me, but for what? Was it because I refused to help him? Or was it because I misunderstood him?I picked up his daughter and followed him to their bedroom. It was true I had falsely concluded about Dimitra, but he couldn’t hold a grudge against me for it. He had brought this day upon himself. Didn’t he know what ty
Lyra’s POV He released a staggering breath and got up as if dismissing me. After knowing everything about him, didn’t he realize I was here to stay? I wouldn’t go anywhere now. “I’m sorry you had to go through so much, Leandros! Why didn’t you correct me before?” I didn’t budge from his bed. I intended to stay here in his house and share his bedroom with him. After his confession, there wasn’t a doubt about what I wanted to do. I would surrender myself to my mate for life. “I was mentally disturbed after the abuse. I wasn’t sure you would want such an abused mate. You didn’t deserve a mate like me. Your uncle hated me and pushed me away from you. I went into a severe depression, but thankfully my close friends stood by me. The pups depended on me and I bounced back only for them. You wanted to know the truth, and I bared my soul in front of you. I would understand if you don’t want to be with me. I swear I won’t bear a grudge. You’re free to move on, Lyra.” With his back to me, he
Leandros’s POV A soft pat on my cheek woke me up from the best sleep of my life. I opened my eyes only to find Liana hovering over me. “Wake up Dad! We’re late for school!” I sat up with a start and looked out of the window. The bright morning sun made me blink with panic. How did I sleep so late? “Gosh, Liana! How will we ever get ready today?” I jumped out of bed and then I remembered Lyra. Where was she? Hadn’t she slept with me last night? I remembered confessing everything to her. She promised to stay with me forever! Was it all a dream? Or did she leave me again? Maybe she had second thoughts this morning and left before I woke up. “Dad, what are you thinking about? You need to get us ready!” prodded Liana with a groan. I quickly freshened up and rushed out to the kitchen. To my immense surprise, I found the boys in the breakfast nook in the kitchen, tucking into eggs, bacon, and toast! Liana was busy scolding them for not getting ready yet while they turned a deaf ear to he
Lyra’s POV Before I could get up, he crashed his mouth to mine, sitting on the sofa and pulling me onto his lap. It was the kiss I had been dying for since the fleeting kiss he gave me on Hera’s birthday. I had no idea what had stopped him from kissing me last night, but I was glad he overcame all his inhibitions. He clasped the back of my head, holding me still while his tongue worked on my lips. I wrapped my arms around his neck and melted against his body, sinking into his warm embrace. His mouth was hard, hot, and possessive as it plundered my secret recesses, plunging deep into my parted mouth. I sighed, surrendering to him. His scent was driving me insane. The kiss was enough to make me want him to the point of no return. Then all I could do was contemplate shoving him down on the sofa, pulling his pants down, and riding him until we both climaxed! I pulled him closer and kissed him back, running my hands around his broad back to feel the muscles rippling under my touch. I ha
Lyra’s POV Growling in his throat, my mate’s hot, wet mouth covered the mark, licking and sucking wildly. It set my body on fire, as moisture leaked from my p*ssy, soaking my panties. I cried out as he tortured me with his wicked mouth, stroke after stroke. Arching against him, I ground my hips against his thick erection! The mark was like an external erogenous zone! I sucked in a deep breath and pushed at his chest. “My turn now!” I muttered, controlling the urge to take off my clothes and ride him like there was no tomorrow. I pushed him down on the bed while he watched me with an amused look on his face. “Are you planning to really mark me, little mate?” The annoying nickname urged me to prove him wrong. I had to prove I wasn’t little anymore. Yes, I was inexperienced, but definitely I wasn’t a little wolf. “It’s time to prove I’m not little anymore!” I lay between his legs and reached out to his neck. His breath hitched as he gazed at me with delirious eyes! “Interesting! I’m
Leandros’s POV It was a lazy Sunday, and we spent it in fishing and skiing with the triplets. Lyra packed up enough food to have a picnic by the frozen lake in our backyard. The pups enjoyed a sunny day outdoors until they were exhausted. It was something they had never done in the last four years, as Sunday meant pack meetings for me. Therefore, it was a relief that Zeph had wrapped up all meetings on Saturday. It left me free to enjoy with my family. Lyra’s laughter and exuberance were so infectious that the pups and I caught on by the end of the day. The result of our fun-filled outing was amazing. The pups bonded with Lyra so well that they started addressing her mom. My mind was now at peace seeing my pups find their mom in Lyra. She deserved it for everything she did for the pups ever since she moved in. She had no anger or resentment for having to look after the triplets. Although it was a monumental task, she did it spontaneously, with a smile on her face. Taking care of the
Lyra’s POV He slid down my body, licking every curve as he traveled down my stomach. A gasp escaped my lips, wondering what he was planning to do. Breathless with excitement, I raised myself up on my elbows to see what he’d do next. This was a novel experience for me and my body went into overdrive at his slightest touch. He chuckled to see my reaction as he moved his mouth lower. “What are you doing, Leandros?” I didn’t need to wait for an answer. A deep moan escaped my mouth when he buried his face between my thighs and licked my p*ssy. I fell back on the bed as my head spun with pleasure. His mouth was too much to handle, and it sent erotic tingles all over my body. “Oh! Don’t stop! Please!” I gripped his hair to push him closer, wanting him to give me my first release. His tongue was relentless, licking and stroking my cl*t until I was on the verge of a release. The powerful thrusts of his tongue intensified, and I could feel the pressure slowly build up inside me. I ground my
Lyra’s POV The next morning, I got sucked into the mad rush of the morning. Getting the triplets ready for school was no mean task. Leandros helped me in every way he could, and finally, all five of us were ready to go out. “Mom, are you coming to school too?” asked Lazarus, watching me from the back seat. “No, Lazer. I’ll just drop you off at school and go to the marketplace with your dad.” Lazarus preferred the nickname and calling him Lazer was a sure-shot way to please him. “Why, Mom? Are you planning to join Dad’s company?” asked Lucius. “No, son. Your mom is planning to start her own business, her own fashion house,” answered Leandros on my behalf. The boys gave me jaw-dropped looks. “What’s a fashion house?” asked Lazarus while Liana rolled her eyes at him. “Don’t you know what a fashion house is? I swear you’re dumb. It’s a shop full of clothes. Mom wants to make clothes for all of us in Lucania,” she explained, and I smiled at her simple explanation. “Yes, you’re righ
