--Alyssa--Grandma closed the door to her room, and I quickly took off the gloves. My hands looked the same as before; there was no visible difference. However, the energy coursing through them confirmed that what had happened was indeed real."Raise your hand and let me see, like you did in the bathhouse," she instructed, and I complied.Ollie was now in the air, and he could not believe his eyes. I was equally astonished. As I raised my hand, Ollie floated in the direction of my gesture. His eyes widened in amazement and fear as he looked around, trying to comprehend what was happening."Please lower your hand slowly so that he doesn't get hurt," Grandma said calmly.I carefully lowered my hand, and as I did, Ollie descended gradually. The moment his feet touched the floor, he ran to Grandma, clearly scared by the experience."Sorry," I said, feeling a pang of guilt as I saw the look of shock on his face.Grandma gave Ollie a reassuring pat and turned to me. "So now, the moment you
--Alyssa--Today, I was taking a trip to the bakery with my grandmother. She was thrilled to see the place for the first time, and her excitement was contagious. As we drove out of our familiar surroundings and crossed the border into the human town, I could sense her anticipation growing. This was not just any trip; it was a special occasion.Grandma had mentioned she was going to teach me some new spells. I was eager to learn from her vast knowledge and experience. “That’s it, Grandma,” I said, pointing towards the bakery. It had opened not more than thirty minutes ago, and I was eager to show her everything.I had been so busy with various responsibilities that I hadn't had the chance to return to the bakery since the grand opening. On that day, everything had gone perfectly, and the feedback had been overwhelmingly positive. Customers were flocking in, enjoying the delicious food, and the bakery had become a popular spot in town. Knowing this made me incredibly proud, though I cou
--Alyssa--I shivered from the hot breath on my neck. Every hair on my body stood on end as I felt the warmth of his breath against my skin, a stark contrast to the cool air of the room. My heart raced, pounding in my chest with a mixture of anticipation and nervous excitement."Xavier," I whispered, barely able to get the word out."Shuu," he murmured soothingly, his voice a low, resonant hum. He leaned in closer, his lips barely grazing my neck, and began to plant delicate kisses along my skin. Each touch sent waves of electricity coursing through me, and I couldn't help but shiver under his tender assault. His breath, warm and tantalizing, sent shivers down my spine, heightening my senses and making my skin tingle.I immediately felt a deep, primal heat stirring within me. The sensation was overwhelming, a flood of desire that left me breathless. He turned me around to face him, his eyes dark and intense, searching mine as if asking for permission. The silent question hung in the a
--Alyssa--"Don't cum again unless I tell you to, Amore," he said dominantly as he thrust deep into my cunt. The intensity of his command resonated through my body, causing a shiver of anticipation and obedience to course through me. I felt something powerful building up in my abdomen, a familiar warmth that signaled the approach of my climax. Yet, despite the overwhelming urge, my body adhered to the authoritative restraint Xavier had imposed. Every fiber of my being strained to comply with his order, holding back the torrent of pleasure threatening to engulf me.With a swift and commanding motion, he turned me over, positioning me on all fours on the bed. The change in angle made every thrust more intense, more profound. I could feel every inch of his member as he moved deeply within me, each movement sending ripples of ecstasy through my body. His pace quickened, and the sounds of our union filled the room—a symphony of shared desire and mutual surrender. His breathing became more
--Alyssa--"Let's go," I said to Loveth, feeling a mix of anticipation and urgency."Are we not going to get Ollie?" she asked, her voice tinged with concern as we stepped out of the house. Mr. Patterson was already seated in the car, his expression one of calm patience."You go and sit in the car. I will go fetch him in the garden," I instructed Loveth, motioning toward the vehicle. She nodded, and I turned to head towards the back garden where Ollie often spent his time. The path to the garden was familiar, lined with blooming flowers and neatly trimmed hedges. As I walked, I could hear the distant hum of Mr. Patterson’s car engine, a reminder of the tight schedule we needed to keep.Reaching the garden, I spotted Ollie immediately. He was a fluffy bundle of energy, darting around and sniffing at the various plants. "There you are," I called out to him with a smile. Ollie bounded over to me, his excitement palpable. I bent down to secure his collar, which had slipped slightly off hi
--Alyssa--Xavier was back, and he was insistent that I accompany him to a dinner party. The last time I followed him to one of his events—a charity gala—it had been a disaster, filled with awkward encounters and a social faux pas that still haunted me. Despite my reservations and reluctance, Xavier was persistent and wouldn't take no for an answer. So, here I am, preparing to get ready for yet another social ordeal.Determined to put my best foot forward, I decided to take a bath before Loveth arrived. I walked into the bathroom, stripped off my dress, and let the warm water cascade over me. The steam enveloped me, offering a temporary sanctuary from the anxieties of the impending evening. After what felt like a moment of peace, I stepped out, wrapped myself in a plush bathrobe, and headed straight to bed, hoping to catch some rest before the party.As I drifted off into a light sleep, I was abruptly awakened by a voice calling my name. "Alyssa, wake up, it is already 3:00 PM," someo
--Alyssa--"Another one, the paparazzi will throw questions at us. Do not mind them," Xavier said with a calm but firm tone, his eyes fixed ahead."Yes, I get it," I replied, my voice steady despite the anxiety simmering beneath the surface. Our car was inching forward, trailing behind another vehicle at Brandon's opulent residence. We were next to step out, and I could already feel the tension rising.The car door swung open, revealing a man of formidable build who stood as solid as a rock, offering an imposing presence. He extended a hand to help us out, and Xavier stepped out first, then reached back for me. The moment my feet touched the ground, Xavier's hand enveloped mine in a reassuring grip. The barrage of camera flashes from the paparazzi was almost blinding, making it difficult to keep my eyes open. Instinctively, I kept my head down, trying to shield my face from the relentless strobe lights."Mr. Black, tell us how you are feeling about becoming a father?" a man shouted fr
--Alyssa--I tried to remove my dress when I heard him say, "That is my job, Amore," his voice husky and laden with a promise that sent a shiver down my spine. His words were more than a command; they were a gentle reminder of the bond we shared. His hands, large and warm, moved with an assertive grace as he stripped me of my dress. I stood before him in nothing but my bra and panties, feeling exposed and vulnerable, yet incredibly aroused by the intensity in his eyes."Fuck," he muttered under his breath as he unhooked my bra, letting it fall to the floor. His gaze was intense, almost reverent, as it swept over my now-bare breasts. His erection was evident, straining against the fabric of his boxers, a visible testament to his desire. He began to knead my breasts, his fingers expertly finding all the sensitive spots, and I couldn't help but moan in response. The wetness between my thighs grew, a physical manifestation of the longing his touch ignited within me."I see you're already
--Alyssa--Meridith couldn’t stop smiling as she leaned closer to get a better look at the twins nestled in my arms. “Pups? They are so cute and look just like Xavier,” she cooed, her eyes sparkling with affection.Xavier, however, was lost in thought, his gaze fixed on our babies with an intensity that made me chuckle. He seemed entirely absorbed, as if the world outside didn’t exist. Seeing him so captivated by the sight of our children softened my heart, but I couldn’t shake the nagging guilt that lingered beneath the surface.Everyone in the room seemed unbothered by the events outside, as if the weight of what was happening hadn’t reached them. They were caught up in the joy of the moment, admiring the twins, and it made me feel strangely out of place. I was here, surrounded by warmth and family, while others were grieving just beyond the palace walls. The contrast was hard to ignore, and I knew I had to act soon.“Can we break the curse now?” I asked, my voice cutting through th
“Xavier!” Meridith called out to me, her voice cutting through the quiet murmur of the room. “When is Alyssa coming?” she asked, making everyone turn their attention toward me, waiting expectantly for an answer.“Soon,” I replied, though their faces showed clear disappointment. I knew they missed her, and so did I, but for her safety, I couldn’t do anything reckless. The weight of their expectation hung in the air, but my priority was always her protection.But something gnawed at me. Why would Nathaniel—who always kept me informed of his whereabouts—suddenly go off on an errand without telling me? It wasn’t like him. He always let me know where he was, and this sudden disappearance made me unease.Aurelia’s POVThere was a knock on the door, causing all of us to freeze. Nobody ever knocked on our door, not unexpectedly like this."Did Xavier tell you he was coming?" Mom asked, her eyes filled with concern. I shook my head, feeling a pit form in my stomach. We were supposed to leave
I could hardly believe what was happening. Most of the Alphas had been killed—just in one night—which sent panic rippling throughout the Kingdom. This was not how I envisioned welcoming my mate and pups home. The atmosphere was thick with tension and fear; I knew that those who had plotted against Alyssa and my innocent children were receiving their just desserts.“Have you heard? The Alpha of St. Lucas was reported dead just now,” Nathaniel said, his expression grave. My heart sank as the weight of his words settled in. This was more serious than we had initially thought.“So what are their families doing about it?” I asked, my voice strained with uncertainty. I was in no position to intervene after everything they had done to me.“They are calling for your help,” he replied, a hint of mischief playing on his lips.“Now they want my help when just a few days ago they wanted to kill me?” I laughed, incredulous at their desperation. This was surely the work of the Moon Goddess, a twist
I strode straight into my room, Nathaniel still at my heels, his excitement palpable. I approached my phone, heart racing as I prepared to dial the number I had yearned to call every night and day.Taking a deep breath, I punched in the digits, my fingers trembling slightly with anticipation.“Hello?” I heard my mate’s voice on the other end, and a wave of relief washed over me.“Alyssa,” I breathed, the sound of her name sending a rush of warmth through my veins. “It’s me.”There was a moment of silence before she responded, her tone a mixture of surprise and joy. “Xavier! I can’t believe it’s really you!”Hearing her voice brought back the memories of our moments together—the laughter, the love, the dreams we shared for our future. I closed my eyes, allowing the sound of her voice to wash over me like a soothing balm.“I’ve missed you every day,” I confessed, my heart aching with longing. “I finally stood up to the council. They tried to break me, but they can’t control what I’ve bu
I entered the room, and the atmosphere shifted. As usual, all the Alphas were present, their expressions a mix of curiosity and disdain. I didn’t bother to greet them; instead, I took my seat with an air of defiance, determined to remain unyielding in the face of their scrutiny.“Xavier Black of the Blood Moon Pack, do you swear to tell the truth and nothing but the truth?” Elder Simon asked, his voice authoritative yet tinged with a hint of amusement. I knew he had always been fond of me, and it seemed that sentiment hadn’t waned, even in the face of this farce.“I swear to tell nothing but the truth,” I replied, my tone steady.Before Elder Simon could continue, Elder Samuel shot up from his seat, interrupting the proceedings. I rolled my eyes in exasperation; he always seemed to have a knack for stealing the spotlight from Simon, making it difficult for the process to flow smoothly.“Do you still not know the whereabouts of your mate?” he inquired, his tone sharp.“I passed the tes
--XAVIER POV--It had been two whole months since Aurelia left, and every single day, I felt the urge to break own, to cry, but I knew I couldn’t afford to lose my composure. I had to stay strong, to remain calm if I was going to survive this manipulative game the Alphas were playing. Aurelia had slipped away quietly before anyone noticed. By the time the council arrived, she was already gone, leaving me to face their barrage of questions. I was questioned endlessly, but thanks to the bond with my wolf, I was able to lie convincingly.They didn’t believe me—why would they? But they had no proof, and more importantly, no right to treat me like a prisoner. I had played my part well, and it baffled me how foolish they were to think I would simply tell them the truth. The bond with one’s wolf was sacred in the werewolf realm, and by the decree of the Moongoddess, a wolf could never lie. But mine did. Somehow, I managed to deceive them, and it worked.I couldn’t help but wonder if the Moo
Tears blurred my vision as I glanced at Mom, who stood beside me, her own eyes filled with emotion. She had been so strong throughout it all, but now, seeing her grandchild, her tears flowed freely. Grandma was nearby too, her hands clasped together, a proud smile lighting up her face. The room was filled with so much love, so much joy.But just as I began to think it was over, a sudden, sharp pain shot through me, taking my breath away. I gasped, my body tensing as fear gripped me once more. “Something’s wrong!” I cried out, panic creeping into my voice.The midwife, who had been carefully watching over me, quickly moved to check. Her expression remained calm, and after a moment, she looked up at me with a reassuring smile. “No, Alyssa, nothing’s wrong. You’re having another baby.”Another baby. The words took a moment to register in my exhausted mind. Another baby? My heart raced as the realization dawned on me. Twins. I was having twins.The pain came back in waves, and I gripped t
It had been an entire month since I last heard from Xavier, and the worry gnawed at me constantly. Every day, I cried myself to sleep, the emptiness in my heart growing with each passing hour. I couldn’t help but think about him, about where he was and what he might be going through. But there was one thing that kept me going—the certainty that he was still alive. If he weren’t, I would have felt it deep inside me. That was the one thing mates shared, a connection that transcended distance and time. It was that bond that reassured me, even in the darkest moments, that Xavier was out there somewhere, fighting to return to us.Yet, despite that fragile hope, I was falling apart. In Grandma and Mom’s words, I looked terrible. My skin had paled, and the bags under my eyes were dark and heavy from countless sleepless nights. My clothes barely fit, and I’d stopped caring about my appearance long ago. The weight of uncertainty was crushing.As much as I tried to stay positive, the constant
--Alyssa--We were watching a movie, a popular request from Grandma, but my mind kept wandering back to Mom and what could have possibly happened. I couldn't shake the worry that gnawed at the edges of my thoughts, despite trying to focus on the screen in front of me. Something didn’t feel right, and I could tell that both Grandma and I were distracted.“There’s a knock, Grandma,” I said softly, even though it had been faint. My ears had picked it up nonetheless. Grandma didn't seem to notice at first, but then came another knock, louder this time, clear enough to be undeniable.“I’ll check it,” she said, motioning for me to stay seated. She rose slowly from her chair and made her way to the door, her steps deliberate, as if she, too, felt a shift in the air.A moment later, I heard her say, “Elizabeth.”The sound of that name startled me to my feet before my brain could even register what was happening. Mom. She was here. “Mom?” I called out, my voice filled with both relief and conf
