Behind me, Caleb stills.

I will do anything.

Caleb begged me the same yesterday when he asked me for a chance.

“You have a pup to think of. I, Rain Stillwater, accept your rejection, Jordan Reed. I also reject you and renounce being the future Luna of Crescent Moon Pack and the Guardian of the Portal to the Diamond Realm.”

I expect to feel pain, but there is none. If anything, I feel… free. Jordan is gripping his shirt hard. For a short while, he made me happy.

“You rejected him.” Caleb seems surprised.

Letting go of him, I start to walk away. “I would never let a child grow up without a family the way I did,” I say over my shoulder to Caleb.

When I walk past Jordan, he says to me, “I contacted Caleb as soon as I saw the videos, but he told me you were not in his pack. He lied to me. If he had told me the truth from the beginning, I would not have wasted so much time begging the Council to grant me permission to enter his territory. Maybe if Caleb had told the truth, you would

    Tatiana prepares a portal not only for Jordan and Kevin but also one for Caleb and me so we can return home. Home. Crescent Moon Pack never felt like home. But Black Ruby Rogue Pack is my home. It is the place where I met Caleb and Raven and made friends. It is the place where I want to spend the rest of my life.Caleb stands next to me, and my hand reaches for his, and his for mine, our fingers meeting in the middle, skin brushing against skin, sparks coming to life, making my heart race. It is like one of those cheesy moments from the books Viki always carries with her, where the main characters fall in love in the most unexpected moments, and yet I am living it.His fingers keep brushing against mine.I don’t think I will ever get used to the sparks that I feel each time I touch him. I look up at him, a smile tugging at my lips.My mate.While sex is still a scary thought, and the idea of being that vulnerable with Caleb sends cold shivers down my spine, I know he won’t push me to

    Still holding my hand, Caleb asks, “Ready to go home, my love?”He called me ‘my love.’ Act cool. Safia is waging her tail happily.I look toward the pack. Toward home. “‘My love,’ huh?” I huff.“If you don’t like that, I can use other endearments,” Caleb says as we start walking. Is he teasing me?Kevin, who is walking behind us, is quiet. I wonder if he is regretting leaving Jordan and Crescent Moon Pack.When the houses come in sight, I jerk my hand away from Caleb.“Is something the matter?” Caleb asks, confused.“Just making sure the others don’t find out about us.”Caleb stops walking. I do the same, but Kevin keeps walking, giving us space to talk in private.“Why don’t you want the others to find out about you being my mate?” Caleb asks when Kevin is out of sight.I tuck a strand of hair behind my ear. “Well, I thought—” I fall silent, not knowing what to say. Jordan did everything he could to keep me a secret.“Red, you are the future Luna of this pack. I am not going to hide

    TristanDespite the harsh Siberian weather, sweat runs down my forehead from the effort of breaking the logs for the fireplace. I stop just for one moment and look at the house in which my daughter sleeps peacefully. An ache starts in my heart. Everything I do is for her.The door of the house opens, and Katherine steps out, a scowl on her face. “How long until you finish? My ass is freezing!”Zeke follows her. “I offered to keep you warm, but you keep refusing me.”Katherine rolls her eyes. “I am not that desperate as to sleep with a vampire.”I break another log. “Could you keep it down? Sky is sleeping!” I hiss at them.“I could keep Katherine in my bed all day long, but she is one stubborn she-wolf!” Zeke groans. Then to Katherine, he says, “And what is so wrong with sleeping with me? You fucked vampires before.”Katherine huffs. “Only because I was forced. Now, I have no desire to sleep with a bloodsucker.”I roll my eyes. “It so happens that the bloodsuckers keep you warm and pu

    She runs a finger up and down my chest, sending shivers and sparks down my spine. I bite down a groan, not wanting to scare her. “I think you are a strong and capable male who treats his pack members fairly. I love spending time with you… because you make me laugh and… feel loved.”I grin. “Strong and capable, huh? But not handsome?”She licks her lips nervously. “I guess?” Taking a deep breath, she reveals something about herself. “I have a thing, a condition, that prevents me from seeing human faces. It’s called prosopagnosia or face blindness.”Proso what?I have never heard of this before. How can she not see faces?“Do you know how some people can’t see certain colors?” she asks, and I nod. “It’s like that, only that I don’t see faces. They are like a blur to me.”While I don’t fully understand her condition, I take a mental note to search for it later. “Well, you are better off not seeing my ugly face. It would have surely scared you away without even thinking about giving me a

    I grab a piece of paper and a pen. “I only want you to find the first guy. I will write down everything I know about him. Once you track him down, send me an email.”Once I am done writing down all the info Kevin gave me about Ben Reed, I hand over the paper to Yavor. “Let me know how much money I have to transfer to your account.”Yavor quickly scans the paper before folding it and shoving it into a pocket. “I will send you the bill later. Well, thank you for the cake, but I am afraid I must go. Tatiana wants me to find a guy for her.”I frown. “What is she up to now?”Yavor shrugs and leaves. As a bounty hunter, he can’t give out details about his clients.“Conon, are you free? I need your help.”Conon closes the laptop and glances at me, confusion flickering in his hazel eyes. “Help with what?”“With the surprise for Red.”He frowns. “I thought Viki, Jeremy, and Sarah were helping you.”“They are, but I want it to be ready tonight.” I can even imagine the moment she sees what I hav

    The boxes with my things sit set next to the door, waiting to be taken to my house—mine and Caleb’s. I will have to thank Viki and Cosmina tomorrow. It was past midnight when Caleb and I returned to the Main House.After dropping me at my room, Caleb went to his to start packing his stuff.I plop down on the bed. I can’t believe Caleb gave me a house. Not that I consider it only mine, but seeing the papers with my name on them made me understand how much he loves me.Moving in with him is the first step on my healing journey. I know it won’t be easy, but he makes things seem easy. Maybe talking to someone about what the guard did to me might help. But with whom? Lyla is always an option, but I want to talk to someone that went through a similar ordeal. Sarah said her mate used to treat her horribly, so maybe I should ask her…? She and Jeremy are very happy together.Knowing that tomorrow will be a busy day, I decide to get some sleep. I did offer to help Caleb, but that male is so stu

    As the airplane lands at the Avram Iancu International Airport in Cluj, I start to get Sky ready. I pull the hood of her sweatshirt over her head to hide her hair and give her a pair of sunglasses. In Siberia it was easy to keep her hidden, but Romania is full of dangers. Tatiana could have at least opened a portal that led directly to Caleb’s pack, but she wanted me to face my biggest fear—Sinn. I fight against the urge to touch the scar on my neck. I am lucky that I am still alive. Nine years ago, I came very close to losing my life. If not for Katherine and Daphne, I would not be here today.If Sinn finds out I’m alive and about Sky….If something happens to Sky, I will hold Tatiana responsible.People stand up, getting off the airplane. When only a few people remain, I make a sign to Katherine, Zeke and Glenn to gather the carry-on luggage while I take Sky’s hand in mine.“Remember not to talk to strangers,” I remind Sky. Despite growing up isolated, Sky loves meeting new people a

    “Is that a ring on your finger?” Viki squeals. A bottle of wine for paranormal beings is in her hands.After Caleb and I finished packing his things, we went to bed. We slept a few hours before Conon and Viki woke us up to help us move the boxes to Caleb and my new house. I still can’t believe Caleb put the house in my name.Sitting in my new bedroom, surrounded by boxes, I raise my left hand in the air—the sunlight bounces against the diamonds and black ruby, making them sparkle. A few days ago, I freaked out when he told me he was my mate. Not because I was scared he would harm me in any way but because Jordan had always ignored me each time, I said ‘no’ and always pushed for more. I guess a part of me feared Caleb would do the same. When he said he was going away to honor my request to stay away, I knew I would regret it for the rest of my life if I let him walk away. Caleb is everything I have ever hoped for.Now I am engaged to get married!“I said yes,” I let her know, just as S

    Ever since the feral rogues tricked us into believing Caleb was dead, grief like I’ve never felt before threatened to overpower me. Katherine is the only thing that kept me sane. Along with helping Conrad take care of the pack and keeping an eye on Rain and Sky, I was exhausted at the end of the day, and by the time my head hit the pillow, I would fall into a deep sleep, only to start again the next day.Being apart from Katherine added another level of pain to my grief, but her returning the same day Tatiana let everyone know Caleb was alive still has my heart dancing with joy inside my chest. Tatiana visited the pack while Katherine and I were preparing for our date and let everyone know what had happened to Caleb. Everyone wanted to come and see with their own eyes that Caleb was alive and well, but it wasn’t possible. My arm snakes around Katherine’s waist, her slender body molding after mine. Caleb’s joke didn’t sit well with her. It doesn’t really bother me since Caleb and I a

    I chuckle. “She did. I would be dead if not for my amazing soulmate.” I look around for Red. She is behind me. It’s wrong. She should be by my side, shoulder to shoulder, heart to heart, soul to soul, as my soulmate, as my Queen, as my everything. I take her hand into mine and guide her in front of me so that everyone will know that she is the most important person present. “Tristan, this is my soulmate, Rain. And the one clinging to you is my daughter, Sky, but I have a feeling you already know this.”Tristan looks at Sky, who glances up at him with silver eyes, similar to mine. “How could I not know when she carries part of your scent? Daphne told me everything. I see Sky as my flesh and blood, but I made sure she knew who her real parents were.” This is why Sky said she wanted me as her dad the moment we met because she suspected who I was to her? ‘How could she not know when she looks like you? Except for the hair color. That one she got from Daphne.’ Now, that Raven mentioned

    Being a slave for the Cosaci Vampires reduced me to a shell of my former self. I lost count of how many times I begged all the gods and goddesses out there to let me die. The only reply I’ve ever received is silence. Even the Moon Goddess deserted me as if I wasn’t worthy of her help. In the vampire castle, I was alone in my suffering. Most of the other slaves loved to taunt me, especially the Omegas, because it granted them favors with Sinn or his monster of a mother, Queen Lamia. Not all slaves wanted to be in Sinn’s good grace. Katherine was the only one who risked her life to take mine and set me free. Not all vampires took great pleasure in tormenting me. Daphne, despite being Sinn’s sister, was nothing like her brother or mother. She was more like her brother. Like Tristan. He has been my light in my darkest moments, my friend when I needed one, the brother I always wanted. When my adoptive father sold me to the vampires, Tristan was the only one who never tried to drink m

    I follow Esyn as I try to memorize the scents of those working here. It would be so much easier if I could see their faces, but there’s no cure for face blindness. The palace is so big it feels like a maze. The entire pack could live here, and there would still be empty rooms. Caleb and Conrad should consider it. The pack would follow Caleb anywhere. It takes us several minutes to get to the Royal Wardrobe. “This is…huge,” I say as I stand in the doorframe and look at clothes displayed on mannequins. “Queen Sera loved clothes. When the place was built, King Aris requested that an entire floor be turned into a wardrobe. He wanted to fill it with all sorts of gowns he designed especially for Queen Sera,” Esyn explains. “Their love must have been something special,” I say. “It was,” Esyn agrees. A long one-shoulder lavender tulle dress catches my eye. The soft tone should look good on me. Noticing the dress I’m looking at, Esyn says, “You will look very lovely dressed in it.” I

    I let out a sigh of relief. “That room just saved my life,” I say, making Caleb laugh softly. “There’s something I wanted to ask you. You mentioned a vampire, K. Do you think he is Kain?” Caleb falls silent while he thinks. “I think he is,” he finally replies. How could Kain have ended up as a slave in another realm? Wasn’t he going to find his mate, Elly? “Your friend, Voros, got Kain out, right?” I ask, concerned about Kain.Caleb’s scent changes again, this time to shock. “Voros. How could I have forgotten about him?” he wonders. “Yes. By now, Voros and Kain should be far from the Nether Realm.” “Good. Good,” murmurs slip past my lips. “We should find out what happened to them.” “If everything went according to plan, Voros and Kain are in the Ruby Realm, home to the Dacian Vampires.” My hands slide to Caleb’s chest, and I tap it with my right forefinger. “Unknowingly, you might have secured your friendship with the Dacian Vampires. You also count on the help of the Druid Witch

    Despite going through so much, Caleb’s endurance and resilience are beyond anything I’ve ever seen. He is not only the male fated to me and the one I trust completely, but he’s also my hero. Everything that had happened to him made him into who he is today.I’m determined to prove, not only to him but to myself as well, that we are meant to be together not because the Moon Goddess decided so or because of the love and friendship that binds our hearts together but because we are equals. There’s so much I need to learn about the Diamond Realm. As the future Queen of this nation, I must give my all. My stomach churns as I think of all the implications that come with such a title. I don’t know how Caleb can be calm about it. Safia suggests that maybe he had some time to get used to the idea.I chew my bottom lip before I reply to Caleb’s question. He won’t like my reply, but he deserves the truth. “The pack is fine. We had some problems a while ago, but nothing we couldn’t handle. Conr

    My hand stills on Red’s back as I reminisce about the past. When I fall silent as I remember my fight with the one trapped in the sword, my soulmate and love of my life says, “You won the right to use the Sword of Nightmares from the god trapped in the blade.” She has no idea how right she is about that.“Something along those lines.” It’s too complicated to explain what happened after I was absorbed in the sword. To be frank, I don’t think I understand everything myself, but Red is right, I was given the right to use it. “What happened after?” she asks. I drag the loofah sponge across her back, my gaze on her tattoo, wondering why it appeared on her skin, and say, “I think you already know. Not long after I pulled out the sword and knew without a shadow of a doubt that I was the heir to the throne and a descendant of Queen Sera and King Aris, I saw you fighting with…” A crease forms between my brows as I fall silent, thinking of the day I first saw Red in the Diamond Realm. “My

    Each week, there’s a different test, each one harder than the next; more contestants fail them. Fortunately, just as the doctor predicted, I made a full recovery from the silver poisoning. My biggest opponent is the one with the green mask. So far, he’s the judges’ favorite. I prefer not to draw attention to myself, so I can sit in the back and observe all the contestants and learn their weaknesses and strengths. From what Elton told me, the last task involves fighting the remaining contestants, and the last male standing will be the regent. Elton slowly wins my trust and over time, we become friends. After six weeks of entering the Games, after a very difficult test, Elton approaches me. “Sir Colt, I was wondering about your wolf. What color is he?” His question takes me by surprise, and I reply with another question, “Why do you ask?” Elton looks right and left, making sure no one is listening to our conversation. When it’s more than clear that the only ones left in the arena a

    After entering the competition for the next Regent of the Diamond Realm, I spend my time either dreaming about the female with red hair, reading in the Royal Library, or roaming the palace, learning its secrets while I wait for the first task to begin. The tension in the air is high, as each person in the race to become the next regent thinks they deserve to win the Games. It will be fun to see them lose one by one.A week after the Games officially started, the first task takes place—the contestants are tested to see how much they know about the Diamond Realm. A good regent knows the history of this place so he won’t make the same mistakes as his predecessors. Passing the test is more challenging than I thought, testing my knowledge to the fullest. Spending most of my time in the library paid off as I answered most of the questions correctly. Out of fifty contestants, seven fail to answer the minimum number of questions and are sent home. The rest of us pass to the next phase of t
