Isla nestled comfortably in Liam’s lap, the warmth of his body enveloping her like a soft blanket. They were in his room, a sanctuary filled with the scent of cedar and the faintest hint of cologne. The late afternoon sun streamed through the large windows, casting a golden glow over everything. Liam’s fingers grazed her skin lightly, sending shivers of delight through her. She closed her eyes, savoring the moment, but a thought nagged at her.

“Liam,” she began, her voice soft but curious, “why don’t you invite your parents to the wedding?”

At her question, Liam froze, his fingers pausing mid-graze. The lightness in the room shifted, and Isla could feel the tension radiating from him. He took a deep breath, his expression turning serious. “They’re probably somewhere doing something they refuse to tell me,” he replied, his voice low. “It’s been five years since I’ve seen them.”

Isla’s heart sank at the pain in his voice. “Oh,” she said softly, unsure of how to respond. She had hoped to

    Liam's intense gaze traveled up and down Isla's naked body, his eyes darkening with desire. She lay on the bed, her long, slender legs stretched out, her creamy skin glowing in the soft light of the bedroom. Her blonde hair spilled across the pillows, contrasting beautifully with the dark sheets.Isla's heart raced as she felt his eyes on her, a mixture of excitement and nervousness coursing through her veins.

She wanted to please him, to give him a show he wouldn't forget.With a slow, deliberate movement, Isla reached up and cupped her full breasts, her fingers brushing against her sensitive nipples.

    The moon hung high in the night sky, casting a silvery glow over the Lockwood mansion. Inside, the atmosphere was warm and intimate, filled with the remnants of passion and the soft sounds of their breathing. Isla lay nestled against Liam, her body still tingling from their recent lovemaking. It had been a ravishing experience, one that left her feeling both exhilarated and vulnerable.As she shifted slightly, she felt a twinge of discomfort, a reminder of the intensity of their connection. Liam, ever perceptive, noticed her movement and immediately sat up, concern etched on his face. “Isla, are you okay?” he asked, his voice low and filled with care.“I’m fine,” she replied, but the truth was that she felt a bit sore. The intensity of their lovemaking had left its mark, and she wasn’t sure how to express that without dampening the mood.Liam’s expression softened, and he reached for a small vial on the bedside table. “Here, drink this,” he said, pouring a shimmering liquid into a gla

    The sun was shining brightly over the Lockwood mansion, casting a warm glow on the sprawling gardens that surrounded the estate. Isla stepped outside, taking a deep breath of the fresh air, feeling the gentle breeze against her skin. She had been meaning to check on Miranda, and ask her a few questions about Liam's mother Angelina. As she wandered through the garden, she spotted Miranda kneeling on the ground, surrounded by an array of colorful plants and flowers. With a shovel in one hand and a spade in the other, Miranda was hard at work, her raven hair tied up in a messy bun that accentuated her porcelain skin, which glistened with a light sheen of sweat.Isla couldn’t help but chuckle as she approached. “Well, well, if it isn’t the Victoria’s Secret supermodel, getting her hands dirty in the garden! Shouldn’t you be on a runway somewhere?”Miranda looked up, a playful grin spreading across her face. “Oh, please! Gardening is my passion, Isla. Besides, you don't know how fun this

    Miranda’s expression shifted, becoming more serious. “You know, your future mother-in-law, Angelina, was a very beautiful woman. The most beautiful I’ve ever seen.”Isla’s curiosity piqued. “Is it so?” she asked, intrigued by Miranda’s words.“Oh, absolutely,” Miranda said, her eyes lighting up with nostalgia. “If the world saw her now, they would stop simping for me and become her fans instead. She had this ethereal quality about her, like she was made of light.”Isla felt a pang of longing in her heart. “What was she like?” she asked, wanting to know more about the woman who had shaped Liam’s life.Miranda’s expression softened as she recalled memories. “She was not just beautiful; she was also incredibly caring. As a Luna Queen, she was devoted to all of us. We were lucky to have such a Luna, alongside the strong Alpha who was Maximilian Lockwood. It was such an era.”Isla listened intently, captivated by Miranda’s words. “What do you mean by ‘such an era’?” she asked, wanting to u

    Isla lay in bed, staring at the ceiling, her mind racing with thoughts of Liam and the weight of the secrets she was carrying. She knew he was busy with his pack duties, and she couldn’t help but think that if he weren’t, he wouldn’t have let her get out of bed. The thought made her smile, imagining how he would have kept her there, wrapped in his arms, lost in each other’s warmth and passion. They could have spent the entire day and night together, exploring every inch of their connection. But duty called, and she was left with a rare moment of free time.With a determined sigh, Isla decided to take advantage of her day off. She needed to clear her mind and gather her thoughts, and there was no better place to do that than at her friend Maria’s house in New Jersey. Maria had always been a source of comfort and wisdom, and Isla felt that she could use her friend’s insight now more than ever.After a quick shower and a change of clothes, Isla hopped into her car and made the drive to M

The flickering candlelight cast dancing shadows on the walls, creating an atmosphere that felt both mystical and charged with anticipation. Time seemed to stretch as Isla waited, her mind swirling with thoughts of Angelina and the implications of what they might uncover.Ten minutes passed, and Isla felt a mix of anxiety and hope. She couldn’t shake the feeling that they were on the brink of discovering something significant. Finally, Maria looked up from her calculations, her expression serious yet filled with a glimmer of excitement.“I think I’ve found something,” Maria said, her voice steady. “Angelina is definitely in captivity, but there’s more to it than that.”Isla leaned forward, her heart pounding. “What do you mean? What did you find?”Maria took a deep breath, her eyes focused on Isla. “Angelina is currently running a Jupiter time period, which is significant. Jupiter is

    Liam's room was dimly lit, the soft glow of the bedside lamp casting a warm ambiance. He lay on the bed, his muscular body relaxed yet exuding an air of anticipation. His ocean-blue eyes, intense and piercing, scanned the doorway as he awaited Isla's arrival. The scent of her unique perfume lingered in the air, a subtle hint of her presence, and it sent a shiver of desire down his spine.As the door opened, Isla stepped into the room, her heart pounding with a mixture of nerves and anticipation. She was a vision of beauty, her long blonde hair cascading over her shoulders, and her tall, slender figure draped by a sheer negligee that left little to the imagination. Her big, busty chest heaved with each breath, the nipples hardening beneath the thin fabric."Liam," she began, her voice soft and slightly trembling. "I wanted to ask your permission for a trip—"But before she could finish, Liam was off the bed, his tall, muscular frame closing the distance between them in a few swift stri

Where exactly are you going?”“We’re going to visit her grandmother,” Isla explained, her heart racing slightly. “She’s an expert in Vedic astrology, and I think she might be able to help us find out more about Angelina.”Li

    The drive to the hotel was short, though it felt longer with her family's incessant commentary on every landmark they passed. Clara, in particular, seemed determined to demonstrate her worldliness by sharing "facts" about Paris that Isla suspected were either completely fabricated or gleaned from a tourist pamphlet.Le Grand Hôtel lived up to its name, its imposing façade and ornate Belle Époque architecture a testament to old-world luxury. They were escorted through the magnificent lobby with its crystal chandeliers and marble columns to the restaurant, where a table overlooking the Palais Garnier awaited them.A sommelier appeared almost immediately to present the wine list to Liam, who selected a vintage that made the man's eyebrows rise in respect. Menus were distributed, bound in leather and embossed with gold."Everything looks incredible," Clara murmured, scanning the offerings with furrowed brows. "How does one choose?""Take your time," Liam suggested, closing his own menu

    Isla maintained a carefully neutral expression as the shopping spree continued. Her family moved from boutique to boutique along Avenue Montaigne like conquering heroes, leaving a trail of empty champagne flutes and enthusiastic salespeople in their wake. She had positioned herself slightly apart from them, standing beside Liam as a silent observer to the spectacle."Do you think this scarf complements this purse?" her mother called out, holding up a silk Hermès scarf against a Chanel handbag.Before Isla could respond—not that her opinion had ever mattered—Clara stepped in. "The colors clash, Mother. Try the blue one instead." Her sister's tone carried the same authoritative certainty that had dominated Isla's childhood, the same assumption that her judgment was inherently superior.Isla bit the inside of her cheek and said nothing. What was there to say? That this entire excursion felt like a bizarre fever dream? That watching her family eagerly accumulate luxury goods they had prev

    The flight to Paris passed in much the same manner—her family consuming expensive food and drinks, making false statements about places they'd never been, and peppering Liam with questions about his business and personal wealth. Isla retreated further into silence, responding only when directly addressed, her discomfort growing with each passing hour.By the time they landed at Le Bourget Airport, Isla felt emotionally drained. A sleek black limousine awaited them on the tarmac, another display of Lockwood luxury that her family exclaimed over with unrestrained enthusiasm."We'll be going directly to Avenue Montaigne," Liam informed them as they settled into the vehicle. "It's home to some of the world's most exclusive boutiques.""Oh, I've read about it in magazines," her mother gushed. "Dior, Chanel, Louis Vuitton—all the finest brands!""Indeed," Liam agreed. "And today, you're welcome to explore them all."The drive through Paris was a blur of elegant architecture and tree-lined

    The sleek private jet gleamed in the morning sunlight as Isla reluctantly made her way up the stairs. Behind her, her family's excited chatter grated on her nerves like sandpaper. They had barely contained their elation since Liam's unexpected invitation, and now, faced with the reality of the Lockwood family's private aircraft, they made no attempt to hide their awe."This is absolutely magnificent," her mother exclaimed, running her manicured fingers along the polished wooden paneling inside the cabin. "I am flying private to Paris for lunch! Who would have thought?"Isla winced at her mother's theatrical tone. The woman who had once told her that dreams were for people who couldn't face reality was now behaving like a child in a candy store.Her father wasted no time claiming one of the plush leather seats, immediately testing its reclining function and the various buttons on the armrest. "Now this is how travel should be," he declared, as if he'd been flying private jets his entir

    "Isla!" Her mother's voice cut through her thoughts, high and delighted in a way Isla had never heard directed at her before. "Darling, there you are!"All conversation at the table ceased as every head turned toward the doorway. Isla felt Liam's hand press reassuringly against her lower back, grounding her as seven pairs of eyes fixed on them."Good morning," Liam's deep voice filled the room, commanding attention without effort—the natural authority of an Alpha. "I trust everyone slept well?""Exceptionally," her father answered, rising from his seat with a smile that didn't quite reach his eyes. "Your hospitality is unmatched, Alpha Lockwood."Alpha Lockwood. Not Liam. The formality wasn't lost on Isla, nor was the respect—bordering on obsequiousness—in her father's tone. This was the same man who had once dismissed her dreams of finding her fated mate as "unrealistic given her limitations as a wolf-less.""Please, join us," her mother urged, gesturing to the two empty seats at the

    The Lockwood jet touched down on the private airstrip just as dawn was breaking over the horizon. Isla stirred from her dreamless sleep, her body feeling more rested than it had in weeks. Without her wolf constantly prowling beneath her skin, sleep came easier now—deeper and more peaceful. She blinked away the remnants of slumber and gazed out the window as the mansion came into view, its grand silhouette outlined against the pale morning sky."Sleep well?" Liam's voice was a warm rumble beside her.Isla turned to find him looking refreshed despite not having slept at all during their trip back from Montreal. Being a werewolf—a powerful Alpha at that—meant Liam could go days without proper rest if needed. His supernatural stamina was yet another reminder of the wolf she no longer possessed."Better than I have in a long time," she admitted, stretching her arms above her head. "I didn't even realize I'd fallen asleep until we were halfway back."Liam's fingers traced the curve of her

    The take-off was smooth, the powerful engines pushing them back into their seats as the jet climbed rapidly into the night sky. Below them, New York City spread out like a constellation of earthbound stars, a mirror to the actual stars above them."It's beautiful," Isla whispered, pressing her palm against the cool window.Liam leaned over, his breath warm against her ear. "Not as beautiful as you."She turned to him, ready to playfully accuse him of being cheesy, but the sincerity in his ocean eyes stopped her. There was something profound in his gaze, something that transcended romantic platitudes."When I saw you wake up like that," he said quietly, "terrified, haunted... it broke something in me. I would fly you to the moon for hot chocolate if it would chase away that look in your eyes."Isla's heart swelled, emotion clogging her throat. She reached out, tracing the strong line of his jaw with her fingertips. "My fierce, protective wolf," she murmured."Always," he promised.The

    The silence between them faded now, less.Isla's breathing had steadied, though her mind still raced with the implications of what she had seen about Selena. It was just a dream. Pull yourself together!She looked up at Liam, her eyes searching his. "You said you'd help me forget," she whispered. "How are you planning to do that?"A slow smile spread across Liam's face, the kind that always made her heart skip a beat. It was mischievous, tender, and utterly disarming all at once."Well," he said, reaching for his phone on the nightstand, "first things first." He pressed a button, and the device lit up, illuminating his face in a soft blue glow. He scrolled through his contacts and pressed call.Isla watched, puzzled, as he waited for someone to answer. At this hour? Who could he possibly be calling?"Marcus," Liam's voice was authoritative yet casual. "I need hot chocolate sent up to the master suite. The good kind, with the whipped cream and those little marshmallows Isla likes."

    The bedroom was lit up in night lamps, soft and silver.. Isla lay nestled against Liam, her body curved perfectly into the protective arc of his embrace. Their breathing synchronized. Her slumber began softly, peacefully. The warmth of Liam's body, the steady rise and fall of his chest, the faint scent of cedar and pine that always surrounded him—these were her anchors, her safety.And then the dream began.At first, it was pure joy. Isla found herself running—no, bounding—through a moonlit forest. But this was different. This was her wolf form. Selena. Her long-lost wolf that she thought had died years ago.Golden blonde fur gleamed under the moonlight, each muscle moving with a fluid grace she had forgotten was possible. The ground beneath her paws felt alive, vibrating with ancient energy. Moss-covered earth, fallen pine needles, the soft give of forest floor—sensations she had been denied for so long rushed back to her.Freedom. Pure, unbridled freedom.Her wolf form was magn
