Hidden Legacy (The Lost Luna) Book 3: The Love Of A Beta - Ch. 11 Sealing the Bong Part 2
Tyler's Point of ViewI couldn't believe it. Avril wanted to mate with me and would let me mark her. We were going to be fully mated. Echo was jumping around inside my head in absolute excitement."Are you sure?" I asked her, worried she didn't fully understand what marking entailed. "Once we mate and mark, there's no turning back. It is permanent, and the bond can not be broken. Even rejection doesn’t work.""I'm sure," she said, nodding. "I have always wanted to find my true fated mate. Unfortunately, worry for my mother and the possibility of forces working against her, led me to prematurely become betrothed to a man I neither respect or love. Thankfully, my mother made sure that the fated mate clause was part of the contract. I have no doubts where you are concerned. Neither Selene the Moon Goddess, nor her brother Helios the God of Light, would fate me to someone so wrong for me. Let's seal our bond."With that, I leaned in, kissing her. At first, her mouth was closed, so I ran m

Adriana's Point of View In the quiet grove, bathed in the soft glow of filtered sunlight, Adriana stood with Thorn and Daemon. Thorn's mate, Ariana, had left us a while ago, leaving just the three of us. Daemon would also be training with me, but at this stage, he was observing. Thorn made us sit down on the glass. A whispering breeze carrying the promise of hidden secrets. My heart raced with anticipation as I sought to unlock the dormant magic within. "Place your hands flat out on the ground," Thorn advised. "Now, I want you to empty your mind." The last part of that was hard. I had never meditated before and wasn't sure how to empty my mind. "Focus on your breathing," Thorn said. This was much easier to do than trying to empty something that never stopped thinking. Closing my eyes, I slowly breathed in through my nose, allowing my diaphragm to expand down. Then, just as slowly, I breathed out through my mouth, pushing my diaphragm back up. My fingertips started tingling wher

Thorn, Ariana, Adriana and I ate a leisurely late lunch while chatting. We talked about everything and nothing. With all the training I underwent to become Alpha, there hadn't been time for random chatter since I became a teenager. I wasn't used to this kind of chatter but found myself enjoying it immensely. "Right, young Daemon," declared Thorn, "you are next." Like Adriana, Thorn made me sit on the grass with my hands flat upon the ground. Closing my eyes, I took a deep breath, attempting to quiet the chaos within. The gentle rustling of leaves and the distant song of a bird-filled my ears. Inhaling the crisp air, I focused on grounding myself. As Thorn guided me through the meditation, I envisioned roots extending from my fingertips, burrowing into the earth below. It took time, but gradually, I felt a subtle shift. A warmth surged through me, a connection to the earth's energy. Opening my eyes, I saw Thorn nod approvingly. The others grinned, recognizing the milestone. The elem

Daemon's Point of ViewDuan and Neri walked past our hiding place. Thankfully, they didn't have our senses to detect us. As soon as they had passed, Adriana and I slipped out and headed upstairs. Once safely inside our room, we found Tyler and Avril already waiting. If I couldn't see Tyler's mark on Avril's neck, I would have already known they were marked based on their combined scents."Congratulations," gushed Adriana, beating me by a mere second."Welcome to our pack family, although you were already family before. It is good to have you in our pack," I said, hoping that Avril would actually join our pack.She wouldn't be able to mind-link with us unless she did, but that was an issue for a later time.Once we filled them in on the disturbing conversation we had overheard between Duan and Neri, the tension in the air was palpable. Tyler's expression darkened, his wolfish instincts taking over. On the other hand, Avril looked pale, realising the gravity of the situation."So they w

Avril's Point of ViewI knew my mother had organised a state dinner with all the nobles. After all, it was to be expected when visiting royals come and stay with us. Despite Adriana being part of our family, she and Daemon were still visiting royals, so diplomacy had to happen. The nobles expected it.As the daughter of the Queen, I was obligated to attend. However, I wasn't particularly thrilled about it. I never enjoyed these formal events, where everyone was expected to put on a show of manners and politeness. Neither did my eldest brother or his mate. At least this time, I would have my mate by my side."Unfortunately, Duan and Neri will be there as they are considered nobility," I reminded everyone. "I am not sure if they will cause a problem.""Not being able to mind-link with every one of us could be a problem," Daemon stated. "What if you were to be inducted into our pack? That way, you can mind-link any member of our pack, including Adriana and myself."At this point, Adrian

Avril's Point of ViewIt wasn't long before Duan and Neri arrived, and I clutched Tyler's hand hard. He looked up to see what had caused my reaction."I will stay by your side all night," he mind-linked me.I gave him a smile as thanks, and I did my best to ignore Duan and Neri. Hopefully, I gave no indication of my true feelings. I had been expecting them to turn up but secretly wished they wouldn't.I wanted nothing to do with them, hoping they wouldn't cause any trouble during the dinner. We all sat down at the table, with my mother at the head. On her right-hand side was Alise, a male I had not met before, Thorn, and his mate Ariana, while on the other side were Daemon, Adriana, Tyler and myself.I was intrigued by the man sitting next to Alise. Our mother introduced him as Alastair, but that was all she said. Obviously, he was her date, but I wondered if he was more than that. He was definitely Fae, given his features.Alastair was tall and lithe like most Fae men. They were dece

Sometimes a story takes a turn that you weren't expecting as an author. I had my story loosely planned, and I knew there would be a problem that would happen and need resolving. I just didn't expect it to happen the way it did. It was like Adriana and Daemon were heading to their room, and suddenly Duan and Neri were there. What can I say? I was definitely surprised. However, I am happy it happened that way. I find that it makes a lot of sense and adds to the initially planned problem. Alise and Alastair's relationship will develop over the course of the book, but as of yet, I don't expect there to be a detailed story for them.

Avril's Point of View As we left the dining hall, Tyler took my hand and gave it a reassuring squeeze. "Are you okay?" he asked, concern etched on his face. I smiled weakly, saying, "I'm fine. Just a little tired. I need to talk to Alise about what is going on." "Why don't you invite them back to our room," he said a little sheepishly. I couldn't help but give him a wide smile. It was just what I needed to hear tonight. So, I mind-linked Alise and asked her to come to our room, as we had some vital information to impart to her about tonight's clusterfuck of an evening. I also told her she could invite Alastair if she wanted, leaving that up to her. I figured that if she brought Alastair up to our room, he meant more to her than just a partner for the evening. There was just something about him that made me curious. I had this feeling that it had to do with his species. Something was telling me that he wasn't a full Fae. As an afterthought, I mind-linked Thorn and invited both

Adriana’s Point of ViewThe early morning light filtered through the grand windows of the packhouse, casting long golden streaks across the polished floors. I stood at the centre of the great hall, surveying the final preparations for Lucienne’s Luna ceremony. Stephanie had stepped up to help me organise it, along with the head Omega.I could hardly believe it. My darling daughter was having her Luna ceremony this evening. Every detail had been meticulously planned, and every flower arrangement and piece of decor was placed with precision. The Omegas bustled quietly, their movements efficient, their expressions glowing with pride.“Mum,” called Lucienne as she came down the stairs.“I’m glad you’re awake. Have you had breakfast yet?” I asked.“Just about to,” she answered.After breakfast, I had planned for her to have a day of pampering.

Hidden Legacy (The Lost Luna) Book 4: The Gamma and her two Alphas - Chapter 35 Preparing for the Future
Lucienne’s Point of ViewThe office was finally quiet, but the silence felt heavy, almost suffocating. The weight of everything that had just unfolded lingered in the air, pressing down on me as I sat between Marc and Cole. Their presence was steadying, but my thoughts churned with the complexities of what lay ahead.Marc’s voice broke through the stillness, soft yet insistent. “Lucienne.” His hand reached out, his touch grounding me. “We need to talk about what’s next.”I shifted my gaze to his, his piercing blue eyes steady and filled with concern. “I know,” I said, my voice firm despite the turmoil inside me. “There’s no running from it now.”Cole leaned forward, his elbows resting on his knees, his body coiled with protective tension. “We’ll protect you, Lucienne. No matter what happens, no one will touch you. Not Beatrice, not Elizabeth, not anyone.”I believed him. Truly, I did. His words resonated with the conviction I had come to trust. Offering them a faint smile, I let the s
Hidden Legacy (The Lost Luna) Book 4: The Gamma and her two Alphas - Chapter 34 Exposed
Lucienne’s Point of ViewThe tension in the room was almost unbearable as Jeremy leaned back in his chair, the altered photo now replaced with its original. He had a big smile on his face as he cast his monitor to the office TV screen. The air crackled with barely restrained anger, the collective rage of the Alphas, my parents, and Marc and Cole’s father filling the space.Marc’s jaw clenched as he glared at the unaltered image displayed on the screen. “Beatrice,” he growled, his voice low and dangerous.Cole was less composed, slamming his fist against the table. “She dared to drag Lucienne into this—to humiliate her like this?”My father, King Daemon, was simmering, his powerful presence looming as he folded his arms. “The sheer audacity. This was not only an attack on our family but also on the future Luna.”Queen Adriana, calm but no less furious, turned to Jeremy. “Post the original photo on all pack social channels. Make it clear that Lucienne was the victim of this manipulation
Hidden Legacy (The Lost Luna) Book 4: The Gamma and her two Alphas - Chapter 33 Rogues
Beatrice’s Point of ViewMy heart sank. I couldn’t believe my mother’s words. “Leave? But—”“There’s no other choice,” she snapped. “If you stay here, you’ll be locked up in the cells before sunrise. And don’t think for a second that I’ll sacrifice myself to save you.”Her words stung. Some mother she was, but I knew she was right. “Where am I supposed to go?”Elizabeth sighed, pinching the bridge of her nose as if speaking to me was an unbearable chore. “There’s a rogue named Rodney. He was an associate of your father before he… met his unfortunate end. Rodney owes me a favour. He’ll help you—for a price.”I stared at her, stunned. “You expect me to run to some rogue and beg for help?”“You don’t have a choice,” she said coldly. “Rodney can get you out of the pack’s territory and keep you hidden. I’ve stashed money in several places—enough for you to buy his silence if necessary.”Elizabeth scribbled down an address and handed it to me. “Go there. Take the money, find Rodney, and sta
Hidden Legacy (The Lost Luna) Book 4: The Gamma and her two Alphas - Chapter 32 The Cracks Begin to Show
Beatrice’s Point of ViewThe walls of my room felt like they were closing in. Michaela’s pacing grated on my nerves, but I couldn’t show it. Not now. I needed to stay calm, composed, and in control. Even though my heart was pounding and my palms were clammy, I refused to let her see how badly things were falling apart.“Stop pacing,” I snapped, my voice sharper this time. Michaela froze mid-step, her wild eyes locking onto mine.“Do you even realise how screwed we are?” she hissed, her hands gesturing wildly. “That tech guy—James… Jeremy or whatever his name is—he’s exposed everything, Beatrice. Everything! They know it was fake. And now they’re talking about us all over the pack! We’re finished!”I rolled my eyes, masking the unease twisting in my gut. My hands itched to wring something—anything—to release the tension coiling in my body. “They don’t know anything for certain,” I said, forcing my voice into the cool, detached tone that always worked to keep Michaela in check. “Rumours
Hidden Legacy (The Lost Luna) Book 4: The Gamma and her two Alphas - Chapter 31 Conspiracies
Lucienne’s Point of ViewI felt their stares long before I saw them. The weight of jealousy and resentment hung heavy in the air, a palpable tension that seemed to press against my skin. It wasn’t hard to guess where it came from.Beatrice and Michaela.Their presence alone was enough to make the atmosphere shift, the air thick with their unspoken animosity. I could almost feel their eyes on me, sharp and judgmental, like knives slicing through the crowd. Every time I moved, I could sense their gaze following me, each glance laced with disdain.Beatrice’s was the worst. Her hatred was like a quiet storm brewing just beneath the surface, held back by the thinnest veil of civility. Her eyes, dark and calculating, constantly scanned me, looking for any weakness she could exploit. Michaela’s, on the other hand, was more evident in their venom. She didn’t try to hide her disgust, the sneer on her face ever-present, her body language tense with barely contained aggression.Michaela was pred
Hidden Legacy (The Lost Luna) Book 4: The Gamma and her two Alphas - Chapter 30 A New Plan
Beatrice's Point of ViewSitting in the corner of the grand hall, I felt the familiar heat of resentment burning in my chest, twisting and coiling like a venomous serpent. The festivities for Marc and Cole's Alpha ascension were in full swing, an endless parade of opulence and celebration. Laughter echoed through the cavernous space, the clinking of glasses blending with the rustle of silken gowns and sharp suits. But amidst all the luxury and grandeur, my focus was drawn to one thing, and one thing only: her.Lucienne.What was so special about her? My jaw tightened as I watched her glide through the crowd with ridiculous grace. She wasn't even beautiful. Too tall, too muscled, too… intimidating. That wasn't what a Luna should be. A Luna should be soft, delicate, someone who brings a sense of calm—not someone who commands the room like a damn soldier.The very sight of her made my blood boil. Dressed in a gown that shimmered like moonlight, her presence was enough to draw every eye i
Hidden Legacy (The Lost Luna) Chapter 29 The New Alphas
Marc’s Point of ViewThe ceremony hadn’t even started, and already, my patience was wearing thin. Ryan and Lochlan couldn’t keep their damn eyes off Lucienne, and it was taking everything in me not to let Cassius, my Wolf, now Lycan, surge to the surface and make our position clear.It wasn’t just the way they looked at her—the subtle smirks, the lingering glances, the way they angled themselves to be closer to her. It was how they spoke to her, all charm and thinly veiled admiration.“She’s ours,” I growled through the mind-link to Cole.His jaw ticked as he responded, “Trust me, I know. But we can’t afford to lose control. Not tonight.”Cassius rumbled his discontent. He hated that we were holding back and not marking our territory more obviously. But I knew better. Tonight wasn’t about flexing power or giving in to primal instincts. Tonight was about stepping into our new roles as Alphas, showing the pack—and the visiting Alphas—precisely who we were.Still, as I glanced at Lucienn
