Kiera POV The ballroom was a storm of glitter and silk, each conversation humming with admiration. "Luna, you've outdone yourself!" a man's eyes sparkled as he nodded approvingly. "You've truly surpassed all expectations tonight," chimed in the Alpha's wife from a neighboring pack, her gaze filled with genuine appreciation. I glided through the crowd in my shimmering gold gown, offering smiles and greetings. This wasn't just a party; it was a declaration of hope against the growing threat of the Northern Dark Wolves. "Truly remarkable, Luna," my Beta, Devon, approached with a flute of champagne. His dark complexion and sleek black suit made him stand out in the sea of white and gold. "Thank you, Devon. Is Tracy enjoying herself?" I took a sip, the bubbles tickling my tongue. "Oh, she's having the time of her life," Devon chuckled, his eyes softening as they followed his wife. "Dancing, wine, gossip; she's in her element." Watching Devon's adoration for his wife, a pang of envy s
Kiera POV "You would be so weak to allow your chosen to take another!" Athena, my wolf, growled in my head. "I can't, Athena. Please don't make me," I pleaded silently, my heart heavy. Athena's rage threatened to unleash a war within my pack, but I refused to succumb. "Are you okay?" Devon's voice cut through my haze of sorrow, concern etched in his brow. I struggled to breathe, tearing my teary eyes away from Jackson. He was my closest companion since childhood, the man I loved more deeply than words could express. Yet, I knew I would have to let him go. "Kiera! What is wrong?" Devon's hand rested on my shoulder, grounding me as my body trembled. "Jackson... his fated..." I whispered, the weight of realization pressing down on my chest. "His what?" Devon growled, his head swiveling as he searched for Jackson. My eyes darted frantically, searching for any sign of Jackson or the woman who had captivated him. But they were nowhere to be found. "Kiera..." Devon's voice softened,
Kiera POV "Luna?" Andy's voice trembled, fear evident in his eyes, snapping me back to the urgency of the moment. My pack was in danger, and I had to protect them. "Find Devon, save as many as you can," I commanded, my voice steady despite the turmoil inside me. Andy nodded sharply and dashed away, his form disappearing into the chaos. "Jackson!" I called out desperately through our mind link, momentarily forgetting the haunting image of him with that woman. Silence greeted me, a thick, impenetrable cloud that blocked me out completely. Fury boiled within me, mixed with a deep-seated fear. "Forget that pathetic Alpha!" Athena, my wolf, snarled within. "We are the true strength of this pack." "Athena, we need our Alpha," I scolded quietly, my eyes scanning for any sign of attackers amidst the chaos. "Not so tough anymore," the man I had subdued mocked from the floor where I had left him. Ignoring his taunts, I grabbed a nearby candlestick and knocked him out cold. "Jackson!" I tr
Drake POV Night after night, I prowled the woods of the Nightmare pack, always just a whisper away from their border. As the Alpha of the North, I had no business here, yet something kept me tethered to this enemy territory. I wasn't sure what I was searching for, but I knew I'd find it soon enough. The pack house was bustling, a large gathering in full swing. Hundreds had come from miles around to celebrate, blissfully unaware of the chaos about to unfold. An explosion shattered their revelry, sending the pack into a frenzy. I remained hidden in the shadows, a silent observer. Three unknown wolves crept from the woods, stalking six women around a fire. I watched, uninterested in their fate but curious about the attackers' audacity. The Nightmare pack was the strongest in the South; only fools would challenge them. Then, a scent hit me—rich, sweet, with a burst of citrus and a hint of honey vanilla. My wolf stirred, an undeniable pull drawing me toward it. My mate was here, in this
Kiera POV Sleep dragged me into a realm of twisted dreams and dark visions. In the murky depths of my subconscious, a little girl in a red dress danced around, her red bows fluttering as she waved for me to follow. Her voice was a distorted echo, leaving me unnerved. "You're being foolish, Aunty. I thought more of you." "Who are you?" I asked, my voice trembling. "That is not important. The question is, who are you?" "I don't understand. Why am I here?" "Because you wished to escape, to understand." "That doesn't make sense." "Nothing rarely does," she giggled, a sound too innocent for the malevolence in her eyes. "You are being fooled, and deep down, you know it." A deep, menacing voice called out, "Kiera!" My head whipped around, searching for the source. "Jackson?" I asked, recognizing the growl in his voice, yet it was tinged with something darker. "Kiera!" he shouted again, his tone now furious. I stumbled back, knocking into the little girl. "Don't go to him; he doesn
Kiera POV As sleep enveloped me, my mind drifted between the realms of dreams and deep slumber. Darkness seeped into my thoughts, signaling the onset of a long night filled with vivid night terrors.A blurry vision of a little girl in a red dress with red bows pranced before me, her voice muffled and hands waving for me to follow. I stepped carefully, knowing I was in a dream, but not why or how I knew."You're being foolish, Aunty. I thought more of you.""Who are you?" I asked nervously."That is not important. The question is, who are you?'""I don't understand. Tell me, why am I here?""Because you wished to escape, to understand.""That doesn't make sense.""Nothing rarely does." The little girl giggled demonically. She was adorable, but creepy. "You are being fooled, and deep down, you know it." Her words left an uneasiness inside me.A dark voice called for me. My head spun, searching for who it came from. "Kiera!" He called again."Jackson?" I asked, recognizing his tone, but
Kiera POV For weeks, I tirelessly rallied support to clear more land in our territory. Jackson, often absent, had been negotiating with the Green Forest pack to join our alliance. Tonight, I planned a celebration for our territorial expansion, and Jackson had promised he'd be home for it. I had enlisted the help of the Second Lunas, women we provided sanctuary to. Despite the brewing internal conflicts, I hoped the festivities would be a welcome distraction. At least, that was my intention until the gossip began. "Have you seen poor Karen today?" Becky asked, her mischievous smile betraying her love for drama. "Just at breakfast. She looked utterly miserable," Sandra responded, eliciting a chorus of sympathetic tsk-tsks from the other women hauling logs to the bonfire. Curiosity piqued, I couldn't resist asking, "What happened with Alpha Marcus and his mates?" Becky, always eager to spill secrets, walked beside me, grinning. "Last month, Alpha Marcus was visiting other packs. Hi
Kiera POV I had intended to confront Jackson, but as I stormed down the street, my eyes caught sight of Devon disappearing into his house, a large bag slung over his shoulder. It had been days since I'd seen him, and I needed answers about everything—Marcus, the Second Lunas, and especially Jackson. My heart pounded as I marched up to his porch and banged on the door. "Kiera!" Devon's voice rang with surprise as he opened the door. "You're still here?" "Where else would I be?" I snapped, my patience worn thin. Devon glanced nervously around before speaking, his unease palpable. "Do you know what the other Alphas are doing to these women? What Jackson has done?" I demanded, my words sharp as knives. "Calm down, Kiera. Come in." He opened the door wider, ushering me inside. Anger and sorrow coiled within me, memories of Jackson's betrayal threatening to unleash Athena's fury. I struggled to keep control, my wolf howling for vengeance. "I know things are bad, but Kiera, we have to
Kiera POV"I miss our Alphas," Lizzy whined from her pool chair as we lay beneath the hot sun."Me too. They'll return soon," I replied, trying to offer her some comfort."I need attention. The second trimester is a killer. Why would I be twice as horny when I'm already pregnant!" Lizzy turned to her side in frustration. She was huge for only three months along, but she was also carrying triplets, one girl made from each of our Alpha's seed."You've got me for now. Sebastian is finally down for a nap," I said, moving beside her on the lounge chair and hugging her close. My affection for her was undeniable, though we never pleasured each other alone."I know, but I also know you'd rather watch me come than make me come," she giggled in my arms."I do love watching your sexy body. The way the boys own us in bed is so damn hot," I moaned."You're making me hornier, Kiera," Lizzy moaned back at me."Sorry, I can try," I shrugged. I didn't know the first thing about pleasuring a woman, but
Drake POVChase and I came rushing into the bedroom, shock and disbelief all over our faces. We felt a new bond, but more potently, we felt our mate satisfied. We would have never guessed to walk into Lizzy riding our brother while he ate out our little wolf."I wanted her as mine, and now she is." Kiera pouted to me. "I see that, baby," I said as Chase and I took a side of Elizabeth. My fingers brushed over the two marks she now had. "Did my brother and mate mark you?" I asked her. She looked a mess, drowning in her post-orgasm and her wolf demanding more and more. Lizzy was an insatiable demon in bed. River spent days locked away with her body, and she never once denied him."Yes, we accepted each other. I'm sorry. We should have all talked about this first. I got caught up in the moment when Kiera marked me." Her hand went to her neck."Did our little wolf mark you first?" I asked, my head tilting at her in awe. Was this really happening? Did our little mate mark another woman, cl
Kiera's POVI had this idea the day Sebastian was born. I didn't think it would work, but I really hoped it would. Elizabeth wasn't our fated mate, but she was our family every bit as each of us. She proved to be the perfect Luna, my best friend, and I knew she desired both men and women. River and Drake had already been her lover, and Chase was once a playboy who would take anything legal to satisfy his itch. It wasn't a love written in the stars before we were born, but it was a love that had formed over years of friendship, devotion, companionship, and loyalty. The thought of never seeing Elizabeth or her just being a friend to us physically pained me, and I knew it pained River too. She was so much to us that making her our mate seemed to be the only solution.'It's time for River's mark. Are you ready to toy with our Alpha?' I asked her in our newly formed mind link.'Hell yeah! If he doesn't want to mark me, that's okay, too. I'm not sure how this will work, but I want to be wi
River POVMy insides filled with anxiety as we drew closer and closer to our home. The familiar surroundings should have brought comfort, but instead, my heart pounded with a mix of anticipation and dread. I was waiting for any sign of Zeus or the darkness to bubble inside me, praying I never felt their influence again. The remnants of their power, which had once consumed my brothers and me, were constantly pushed down by Kiera's light. Her mark had saved us, renewing our souls and making us more than we ever were before. We couldn't merge our power anymore, nor did we attempt to call on Zeus. Thankfully, we no longer sensed his presence. We remained powerful Alphas, just no longer as unstoppable as we once were.Besides the lingering threat of Dietus, the thought of seeing Elizabeth again made my insides churn uncomfortably. This was truly our final farewell. Elizabeth had told Chase she wished to explore the islands off the coast of the South, claiming that a change of scenery was
Kiera POVWaking from the anesthesia was excruciating, but seeing my little boy in his father's arms lit up my heart. He was perfect, and he was ours.Every single pack member wanted to meet their future Alpha, and I saw the hope in their eyes. Sebastian was more than just a newborn; he was a symbol of renewal and resilience. For months, we had searched our world, trying to eradicate any lingering evil and praying Dietus remained confined to the dark forest. The battles we fought, the sacrifices we made, all led to this moment. The birth of our son wasn't just the start of a new life but the dawn of a new era for our people.As we gathered in the heart of our territory, the sun setting behind the Southern tropical forest, casting a golden hue over the landscape, I could feel the profound shift within our community. The whispers of hope and renewal filled the air, and each pack member's gaze upon Sebastian was a silent vow of loyalty and protection. He was not just our son; he was the
Drake POVWatching my mate scream in pain, her body slick with sweat and her feet propped up in stirrups, was agonizing. The air in the delivery room crackled with tension as River stormed in and out, his wolf barely contained. He wanted to tear apart every doctor and nurse who approached Kiera, but he knew they weren't the ones hurting her."You're doing so good, Cherie. Deep breaths, baby," Chase soothed from her side, his voice a calm anchor. I held her hand, struggling to contain my own wolf, but I knew I wasn't offering her much comfort. Six hours of labor, six hours of relentless pain, and her anguish was evident."Shut up! Just shut up! You asshole! You're such horrible assholes for doing this to me!" Kiera screamed, her voice raw with agony. Her emotions swung wildly from uncontrollable sobbing to spikes of murderous rage, making the room feel like a storm on the brink of breaking.The sweat on her forehead glistened under the harsh lights, and her eyes blazed with both fury a
Kiera POVI laid awake for hours, my body slowly moving to admire each of my mates. It had been three months, the exact amount of time I spent without them in my previous lifetime. Today wasn't filled with despair and hopelessness, though. Today was everything it was meant to be. I had the triplets as mine; I had my son almost ready to be born into our world, and I had peace and love, completeness I never knew existed."Cherie, you're getting excited again." Chase's sleepy voice made my lips smile wide. I couldn't help myself when it came to them. I wanted to be devoured day and night. "I was thinking of the day you marked me. It was the best day of my life." I said, my fingers moving to his long black hair."Mm, one of mine too." He hummed, his nose moving between my legs to take in all of my scent that called to him."What was another?" I asked wistfully."Hmm?" "What was another best day?" I asked, my eyes closed and body soaking up the pleasure his touch gave me."The day we ma
River POVWatching my brothers slam into our mate from front and back as she screamed and clawed at them was so damn sexy. The way this woman submitted to us, fueled by our desire to use her like she was nothing but a cum bucket to us; it had my dick painfully hard. I couldn't help but release all over her breasts. Now that my brothers were done, it was my turn to fill her and mark her as mine.'Take her!' Chaos demanded, my canines peeking through my gums.'We will. First, we make her scream again.' I promised my wolf."You look so tired, Princess." I taunted her, separating those delicious thighs and revealing her swollen pussy. It was red, wet, and opened wide, ready to take another fat cock deep inside her. She was insatiable."Mmm, I want... youuuu." She whispered, trailing off in her words."You will have me." I chuckled, moving between her legs and positioning my tip right at her juicy opening. She was so wet and so damn hot. "Open those eyes for me, princess. I want you awake
Drake POVI watched my perfect woman suck off my brother as my hand-oiled up my cock. I had this feral need inside me to stick my dick tight in her ass. It looked so damn delicious I seriously wanted to take a bite out of the mushy bubble. Chase was losing control as he moved her on the bed, his wolf not caring for the foreplay and needing to finally claim her. We waited too long, and I knew all that frustration would be taken out on Kiera's little holes."Come here, Doll." I grinned while grabbing her one leg, and Chase lifted her waist. We easily moved her on top of me, facing River and Chase and leaving her back to my front. "You're going to ride daddy's cock like a good little girl, aren't you?" I spoke with so much need to be inside her my dick began twitching."Yes, daddy. I want you to cum inside me." She said while arching her back in desire. Another wave of her arousal filled the room, and it damn near knocked me out. She was our perfect little doll to play with. "Our littl
