DylanRight as I was high on this ultimate pleasure, my mate gave me a forceful shove off my guard.She was unbelievably strong. And I could tell it wasn't just because of her wolf. There must be a new source of strength.“L-Let me...I-I...learned something new. Let's try it out.” As she managed to ride over me, her face blushed.With her warm hands, Cherry palmed my erected cock that was still spitting on the head. She then stuck out her tongue and trailed around the small opening on the
DylanEarly next morning.I jerked up on my bed in panic when my hand felt a empty space beside me.Cherry was gone!So was our bond! I couldn't feel it again!!Fear and rage rose inside me as my eyes swept across the room.Until a note on the bedside table attracted my attention. On top of it was a cup of milk in my favorite cup.
Dylan"Our mate will be all right. She's with Nuu-Chah. We'll wait and see if she'd come to us tonight."I had to admit that I felt more upset than dreadful although Cherry didn't make it last night. And I'd never felt so sure that Cherry would come back to me soon.So all I needed to do now was to bury myself in the pack stuff and wait for her return patiently.With this belief in mind, I went to freshen up, because a long day filled with duties as the Alpha of the pack was waiting for me ahead. &ldq
DylanAfter talking with Bill, we agreed to combine Cherry's shop in Seattle with the one that he had launched under Cherry's name back when she first went to the Lune Pack. Profits from these shops would be used to fund a charity. To celebrate the deal between Starsmoon and Lune, we hosted a party annoucing this regional charity cause.Before heading out to the celebration, I fixed my necktie carefully in front of the mirror.This was a great opportunity to cheer my pack members up after Starsmoon had gone through so many challenges over the past few months.I must make sure that I looked presentable. I needed to convey the message to everyone that I was ready to rebuild our life on this land, and that Starsmoon would grow stronger than ever before.My musings got interrupted when a knock on the door sounded.“You ready, Dylan? Alpha Bill has arrived.” Bert pushed the door open and said.I lined up my necktie in the middle of my upper body before turning around to him. “Cherry would
CherryIn the blink of an eye, my mate was all over me. He wrapped his arms around my waist, tugging me closer to his body.One of his restless hands fondled me with his needy touches, caging my jaw. The other one palmed my boobs. Breaking away from our kisses, Dylan looked down at my chest, stopping at the part where my heart was.“What's it? Anything wrong?” I asked, a little pissed off at his sudden pause when my wolf and me were starting to ache for more.“Dylan—” I pursued after getting no response from my mate for quite a while.“Your heartbeat...and our bond! My wolf can hear yours again! And it hasn't sunk to me yet that you're back here.” Dylan's voice quivered with agitation.I gazed down on my chest, where his palm was still feeling the life in me.But all my mind was preoccupied with the concern about how provoking our position was: my legs straddling on his laps and my dress giving a peak at my thighs.“Dylan—” I was cut off when my mate suddenly crashed his lips with min
CherryAfter seeing all the guests off late that night, I returned to our packhouse with my Alpha, never feeling this secure than ever before.Dylan and I decided to leave the charity project to Bill and Maisy, so that I could focus on getting prepared for the Paris Fashion Week.Waking up from a sound sleep early next morning, we took the first flight to Berlin. To join our family there and to get inspirations for my upcoming show.While we headed towards the arrival hall after landing, my mate's eyes had been busy searching for our parents and pups.“Don't you think that a week here in Berlin is too much? Should we just cut this trip short and go back to Seattle earlier?” This idea popped into my mind out of nowhere.Maybe I'd been a martyr to my nerves for too long. Long enough that the ease of unease had run deep within me, and it surfaced from time to time.Slowing down his footsteps, Dylan turned round and cupped my shoulders, fanning my face with his minty breath.“Relax, baby.
Cherry“Yes, we are! And we've even got the paperwork done.” Nina couldn't hide the excitement in her voice. “Dylan got it done!”“He did?” I asked, shocked to hear that all their paperwork had been ready.“Yes. We're not doing this on a whim, Cherry. Every designer dreams to be part of the Paris Fashion Week; so do Kendra and I. We made this choice because we want to make a step forward in our designing career.” Nina held my hand tightly while looking into my eyes keenly.“Not wrong. And Seattle gets all the diversity that a designer needs. We cannot just spend all our life here in Berlin. It's time we go and experience this world for ourselves. And we enjoy working with you and Maisy. It's just so great that we got to work back together.” Kendra chimed in with her idea.After catching up with Kendra and Nina and having a lively conversation, I bid them goodbye.Just as I returned from the door after seeing my friends off, Fern popped her head from behind the sliding door that led to
Cherry"Morning!" Maisy greeted me the next morning as I stepped into the shop, her face glowing happiness."You had a good time last night?" I asked mischievously."Hey, stop making fun of me! Let's get down to the final check with everything. We'll fly to Paris tonight." Maisy feigned anger, ducking her head shyly.After we packed up the last dress to be exhibited at the show in Paris in the afternoon, Bill and Dylan arrived at the shop to drive us to the airport."See you in Paris next Saturday." I bid goodbye to the gentlemen as Bill's arm left Maisy's waist reluctantly.********After landing in Paris, we buried our heads in the exhibition stuff immediately. Flinging ourselves in the Fashion Week preparation for quite a few days non-stop, we finally got a big ready.Tomorrow was gonna all about final checks and rehearsals. Then the big night would just come.Kicking off my heels after closing the door behind me, I decided to treat myself to a hot bath.While I was indulged in the
Fern's PerspectiveMy heart skipped a beat, and I immediately opened my eyes."...Fern..."His voice was faint, like the wind, yet it pierced my ears clearly. I jerked my head up to meet a pair of long-lost eyes.In an instant, my world collapsed.I threw myself into his arms, tears spilling uncontrollably, and finally let out a sob.—You're back."You're awake!" I was so overwhelmed with emotion that I nearly cried out, my tears already slipping down my cheeks.The corners of his mouth lifted slightly, a weak but warm smile forming. "Why... are you crying?""You were unconscious for so long... I thought..." I covered my mouth, unable to stop the sobs. All the strength drained from me in that moment, and I could no longer hold back. I jumped into his arms."I'm here..." he murmured weakly, gently stroking my back. "I'm back..."Giovanni's awakening shocked everyone. The pack received
Fern's PerspectiveHe's such a proud man. He's given so much to protect Daniel and me. He wouldn't just give up, would he?I forced myself to calm down, taking a deep breath before lifting my head with resolve."I want to see him."The hospital room was unnervingly quiet.He lay on the clean, white hospital bed, his face pale and bloodless. His chest rose and fell slowly, heavily. His once strong and powerful body was now covered in gauze and medical instruments, losing its former majesty.I slowly walked toward him, reached out, and gently held his hand. It was still warm, which reassured me, if only slightly."Can you hear me?" I murmured, my voice so soft it almost seemed to be swallowed by the wind.There was no response.I pressed my lips together, tears welling up in my eyes."You asked me to forgive you before, and I promised… so you can't just leave me like this." I choked out, my v
Fern's PerspectiveI rushed to catch up with Daniel in my arms, my heart pounding wildly, terrified beyond measure.He can't be okay… He can't be okay…The light in the hallway was dim and cold.Giovanni was wheeled into the emergency room, and the door slammed shut in front of me. I stood there, frozen, as if I had lost all strength."Mommy…" Daniel sobbed, tugging at my hand. Only then did I slowly snap back to reality, pulling him close and gently patting his back to soothe him. But my own body trembled slightly.Would he wake up?Would he open his eyes and look at me?I held Daniel tightly, my nails digging into my palms as I forced myself to stay calm. I can't break down. I can't let myself fall apart. But—"Fern," Tobias's voice rang out. He stood in the doorway of the emergency room, his gaze heavy with unspoken emotions."He…" My voice cracked. "He's going
Fern's PerspectiveHe should have been unconscious, but in that moment, he was like a demon returning from hell, furiously tearing through every enemy in his path. His body was still drenched in blood, with deep gashes on his back, exposing bone, yet he ignored the pain and ran toward me with single-minded determination.My heart raced in my chest, and once again, tears slipped down my face."Fern—!"He roared, throwing the last of the black-clad men aside and enveloping me in his arms. In that instant, it was as if I had truly come to life.But before we could catch our breath, Elena's laughter echoed in our ears."You really moved me, but…"She slowly raised the remote control in her hand, her eyes gleaming with twisted malice. "The game ends here."My pupils dilated in horror."Bomb countdown activated."Red lights blinked to life, and a sharp alarm blared from inside the warehouse
Fern's Perspective"Spare them..." His voice was low and raspy, as if the breath had been squeezed from deep within his throat—fragile yet firm.Elena laughed softly, her dagger at some point in her hand. The sharp tip of the blade gently slid down his cheek, leaving a fresh trail of blood on his already scarred skin. She leaned in close to him, whispering in his ear, "You really make me sick to my stomach, to have fallen this low. Didn't you always despise me? What now?"He didn't respond. He just opened his gray-blue eyes and gazed deeply into mine.My heart trembled.He was saying goodbye."No!" I struggled desperately, attempting in vain to rush toward him. But the man in black behind me held me down in an unrelenting grip, a cold gun barrel pressed against my back.Elena stood and turned to the henchman beside her, her tone chillingly calm. "Show him what humiliation truly means."Before I could reac
Fern's PerspectiveThe pungent stench of blood filled the entire warehouse, mixing with the rusty scent in the damp air, creating a nauseating atmosphere. My hands were bound behind my back, my knees sunk deep into the cold concrete floor, and my body had grown numb from the prolonged position. But the pain in my heart was unbearable, as if it were being scorched by an unrelenting fire, so intense that it stole my breath.Elena stood nearby, her heels echoing sharply on the ground like the bells of a death knell. She smiled, her narrow eyes glinting with the playful satisfaction of a victor, while several black-clad bodyguards behind her held Daniel down in a deadly grip. His mouth was gagged, and his eyes were wide with terror.But my gaze was fixed on the man before me—him, my MATE, my Alpha, the man I thought I'd never forgive in my life. Yet here he was, kneeling before Elena.I had never seen him so disheveled.His black
Fern's PerspectiveHowever, at that very moment, a loud bang shattered my thoughts—"BANG!" The warehouse door was viciously kicked open, sending dust flying and filling the air with a pungent, decaying smell. I instinctively opened my eyes, only to see a tall figure step through the doorway, standing frozen in the intersection of light and shadow, as if emerging from hell, radiating an unmissable aura.That figure was all too familiar to me—it was Giovanni.My heart skipped a beat, overwhelmed with a mix of surprise and pain. I hadn't expected Giovanni to be here, and even though I had long accepted that there was no going back to the past between us, seeing him in front of me still made my heart race and left me momentarily breathless.Elena clearly hadn't anticipated this turn of events either. My face immediately darkened, my gaze fixed on Giovanni like a viper's, and I drew a pitch-black pistol, aiming it menacingly at my
Fern's PerspectiveNight had fallen, and the air felt heavy with humidity, making it suffocating and uncomfortable. My heart raced faster than usual, and every step I took felt like it weighed a ton. My grip on the car keys tightened, and my eyes locked on the deserted warehouse ahead. I knew instinctively that nothing was going to be easy tonight, but there was no turning back. I didn't even let myself consider it.I tightened the collar of my jacket and took a deep breath, feeling a wave of suffocating pressure. Daniel's silhouette kept haunting my thoughts—the one closest to my bloodline, the one child who still didn't know who he truly was. I instinctively knew that no matter what challenges lay ahead, I couldn't allow Daniel to be harmed.The doors to the warehouse were closed, and a disconcerting silence hung in the air. I knew Elena had anticipated my arrival. As I approached the door, I gazed at the faded iron gate, hearing the bea
Fern's PerspectiveThere was a strange tension in the air when I got home. The moment I opened the door, a gust of icy wind hit my face. The house seemed unnaturally quiet, and the air felt thick and heavy. I couldn't shake the growing sense of unease rising in my chest.The place was a mess. Papers were scattered across the table, a few books had been knocked off the bookshelf, and shoes and clothes were strewn across the floor, suggesting that something had happened here. My heart sank as I quickly scanned the room, my eyes darting to every corner of the living room, searching for the one person I was most familiar with—my son, Daniel."Daniel?" I called out, my voice sounding weak as it echoed through the empty house, but there was no answer. My heart began to race, and my brow furrowed as I hurried through each room, checking every detail. The kitchen, the bedrooms, the bathrooms—everywhere was empty. There was no sign of Daniel.
