Aurora’s POV The next morning, I woke up to a sight that took my breath away. My apartment was filled with dozens of lilies, their sweet fragrance permeating the air. Everywhere I looked, there were delicate blooms, their white petals glowing softly in the morning light. It was as if my entire home had been transformed into a floral wonderland.My heart swelled with a mix of surprise and delight as I took in the scene. Among the flowers, I noticed an array of candies scattered across the table, my favorite tamarind ones that I hadn’t been able to find anywhere around South Africa. The sight of them made my heart skip a beat.Excitement bubbled within me, pushing away any lingering sleepiness. I rushed over to the table, my fingers trembling slightly as I picked up one of the tamarind candies. The familiar, tangy flavor burst in my mouth as I started devouring them, each bite bringing a wave of joy and nostalgia. I let out a deep moan and was it me or did I hear a curse somewhere ne
Alpha Caden’s POV For the next few days, I found myself constantly drawn to Aurora, unable to stay away. Though I kept my distance to avoid startling her, I couldn't resist leaving small gestures to show my affection and support.On the first morning, she found a fresh bouquet of lilies placed delicately on her doorstep. I had spent hours finding the most beautiful ones, their white petals a symbol of purity and new beginnings. Just like her lycan. Alongside the flowers, I left a small note: "For the brightest part of my day."The next day, I made sure her favorite tamarind candies were waiting for her. This time, they were artfully arranged in a glass jar with a ribbon tied around it. Attached was another note: "A sweet treat for a sweet soul."On the third day, I decided to do something different. I knew how much she loved the stars, so I left a beautifully illustrated book about constellations on her porch, wrapped in simple brown paper with a message: "For the nights when the s
Aurora’s POV Despite my best efforts to guard my heart, I found myself falling for Caden all over again. I tried. I tried so fucking hard not to fall after what happened but I couldn’t. My fragile heart has always been in love with him. I used to think I only loved Alpha Caden as my best friends’ father but as I grew older, I started having more thoughts about him. What he would look like shirtless below his waist. Hell, my first porn was about an older guy with a sixteen year old girl. I didn’t give it much of a thought but now, I am seeing it more clearly. I have wanted him even before I fell in love with him. I wanted to fuck him even when I was sixteen. Each thoughtful gesture, each surprise, slowly chipped away at the walls I had built around my emotions. Every time I thought of him, a warmth spread through me, my skin heating and my heart racing uncontrollably.It was maddening, this tug-of-war between my heart and my mind. My heart yearned to be with him, to embrace the con
Alpha Caden’s POV I approached Aurora's apartment, the bouquet of lilies clutched in my hands, my heart pounded with nervous anticipation. Just as I was about to knock on her door, I heard a familiar voice behind me."Well, well, well," Lucas drawled, his voice dripping with sarcasm and thinly veiled hostility. "Look who decided to show up."I turned to face him, my heart skipping a beat. Lucas, my son, stood a few feet away, his expression one of utter shock and disbelief. "Lucas," I greeted him cautiously, trying to gauge his mood. He has been off since his marriage with Anna. He took a step closer, his eyes narrowing as he looked at me over. "What are you doing here, Dad?" His voice was sharp, laden with suspicion.I took a deep breath, trying to steady my nerves. "I'm here to see Little— Aurora," I said simply, lifting the lilies slightly as if to show my intentions.Lucas's gaze flicked to the flowers, then back to me, his expression hardening. "Why? Why are you going to see
Aurora’s POV I lay in bed, Eva's words echoing in my mind, a constant reminder of her growing weakness and our extraordinary bond with Caden. The weight of the revelation pressed heavily on my chest, making it hard to breathe. My thoughts churned, a whirlwind of emotions—fear, anger, confusion, and an unexpected tenderness towards Caden.Just as I was sinking deeper into my turmoil, I heard sounds from the front door. My heightened senses, a gift of my new lycan form, picked up the faint murmur of voices. I focused, honing in on the conversation outside."...I'm here to see Little— Aurora," Caden's voice, strong and steady, reached my ears."Why? Why are you going to see her?" Lucas's voice was sharp, filled with incredulity and barely contained rage."It's complicated, Lucas. Aurora and I... we're together. We are mates.” He sounded so confident and determined. The confession made my heart skip a beat. Despite everything, Caden was willing to face his son and declare his intention
Alpha Caden’s POV As we walked back into Aurora's apartment, the door clicking shut behind us, a loud growl from her stomach broke the silence. I couldn't help but chuckle, a warm, genuine sound that felt good after everything that had been said."You must be hungry," I remarked, amusement twinkling in my eyes.Aurora blushed slightly, nodding. "Yeah, I guess I am.""Knowing how you could be such a disaster in the kitchen during your teenage years, how about I cook something for you?" I suggested, a playful grin spreading across my face.She raised an eyebrow, crossing her arms over her chest. "I'll have you know, I’m good at cooking now. I’ve had years of practice."I shook my head, still smiling. "No, no. I insist. Let me cook for you. Consider it a small way to make up for lost time."She shrugged, a small smile playing on her lips. "Alright, if you insist. But don't blame me if you find me critiquing your skills."I chuckled again and we made our way to her small but cozy kitchen
Alpha Caden’s POV I knelt beside Aurora, the weight of the situation began to fully sink in. The reality of having a baby at forty-two years old hit me like a tidal wave. I already had twenty-three-year-old children, and now I was about to start all over again. And with my children's best friend, no less. It felt surreal, almost unbelievable.I stood up slowly, moving back to my chair, and sat down heavily. My mind was a whirlwind of conflicting emotions. Joy, fear, confusion, and a hint of guilt battled for dominance. I glanced at Aurora, her eyes still glistening with tears, and felt a surge of protective instinct. Yet, the implications of this new chapter were overwhelming."Are you okay?" Aurora's voice was tentative, pulling me from my spiraling thoughts.I took a deep breath, trying to articulate the tumultuous emotions inside me. "I... I don't know how to feel," I admitted, my voice unsteady. "Having a baby at forty-two, when I already have twenty-three-year-old children...
Alpha Caden’s POV Walking back into Aurora's apartment, my resolve was firm, but I wasn't prepared for the intensity of the emotions that would hit me when I saw her. She was curled up in a ball on the couch, looking small and vulnerable. The sight stirred something deep within me—an urgent need to protect, to comfort, to claim what was mine.Without a word, I crossed the room and scooped her up into my arms. She gasped, surprised but not resisting, her body relaxing against mine. I carried her effortlessly, pushing her gently against the wall. Our eyes locked, and the intensity of the moment took over. I could no longer hold back.I kissed her, pouring all the pent-up longing and desire into that kiss. Aurora responded with the same eagerness, her hands gripping my shirt as she moaned softly against my lips. The need between us was electric, undeniable, and it surged to the forefront, erasing any lingering doubts or fears.I already knew Lucian was intense, but I was unprepared for
Alpha Caden’s POV Ten Years Later. Her smile illuminated the room, a beacon of warmth that drew me in like a moth to a flame. I watched as she moved gracefully, every motion sending a surge of electricity coursing through my veins. When she stretched against me, her body arched with a sensual grace that left me breathless.I buried my face in her hair, inhaling deeply, savoring the intoxicating scent that enveloped me. Her laughter was like music to my ears, a sweet melody that echoed in the depths of my soul. "I need to send a thank-you note to the company that makes my shampoo," she teased."It's not your shampoo that smells so good," I replied, my voice husky with desire. "It's you. You're delicious." I pressed my lips against her neck, trailing soft kisses along her skin, reveling in the taste of her.Her fingers tangled in my hair, pulling me closer as our lips met in a slow, tender kiss. Each touch sent sparks flying, igniting a fire that burned hotter with each passing momen
Aurora’s POV The room was filled with the beeping of monitors and the quiet hum of medical equipment. I lay on the hospital bed, sweat trickling down my forehead, every muscle in my body straining with the effort of bringing new life into the world. Caden was beside me, his strong hand gripping mine, his presence a steady anchor amidst the storm of labor.“You’re doing amazing,” he whispered, his voice low and soothing. “I’m right here with you.”I focused on his eyes, drawing strength from the love and determination I saw there. With each contraction, I pushed with all my might, the pain intense but the goal in sight. Time seemed to blur, each moment stretching out endlessly and yet passing in a heartbeat.The doctor’s voice broke through the haze. “I can see the head. One more big push, Aurora. You can do this.”With a final, desperate effort, I bore down, feeling a rush of relief as the first baby emerged into the world. A lusty cry filled the room, and tears sprang to my eyes.
Third Person POVAfter the tension of the night eased, Lilian and Caleb found themselves tangled in each other’s arms on the bed. Caleb held her close, his warmth and steady heartbeat lulling her into a sense of safety she hadn’t felt in a long time. The bond between them was undeniable, and despite the confusion and complications, there was a deep sense of rightness in being together.Caleb whispered soothing words into her ear, his voice a balm to her frayed nerves. Slowly, Lilian's eyes grew heavy, and she drifted off to sleep, cocooned in his embrace. Caleb watched her for a while, his fingers gently tracing patterns on her back, until he too succumbed to the pull of slumber.They slept deeply, their bodies and souls finding solace in each other’s presence. As the first light of dawn filtered through the curtains, Caleb stirred. He looked down at Lilian, her features softened in sleep, and felt a surge of protectiveness and love.

Third Person POVLilian lay in her bed, staring at the ceiling as the minutes ticked by. Sleep evaded her, her mind a tumultuous sea of emotions and thoughts. Her wolf paced restlessly within her, agitated and yearning. She turned over, trying to find a comfortable position, but it was no use. The bond she felt with Caleb was like a persistent itch she couldn't scratch, a need that gnawed at her insides.With a frustrated sigh, she threw back the covers and got out of bed. The cold floorboards against her feet did nothing to soothe her restless spirit. She wrapped a shawl around her shoulders and quietly slipped out of her room, the moonlight casting soft shadows in the dimly lit corridor.Her steps were silent as she made her way through the palace halls, the silence of the night amplifying the sound of her own heartbeat. She knew where she was going. There was only one place she could go. She needed to see Caleb. To feel his presence. To understand what had happened between them.
Aurora’s POV I found Caden pacing in his study, his face a mask of anger and frustration. His twin brother and his daughter—how could things have spiraled out of control so quickly? I could feel the tension radiating from him as I approached, my heart aching for him."Caden," I called softly, but he didn't stop pacing.I moved closer, gently reaching out to touch his arm. "Caden, please. Sit down. Let's talk."He halted, looking at me with stormy eyes. "Fox, you don't understand. My own brother... with my daughter. How could he do this? How could she?"I guided him to the couch, my touch gentle but firm. "I know you're angry. But getting worked up like this won't solve anything."He resisted at first, but I coaxed him with soft touches, my fingers brushing his arm, then his cheek. I leaned in, pressing a gentle kiss to his lips. Slowly, his rigid posture began to soften. He sighed heavily and allowed me to lead him to sit down.As he sat, I settled myself on his lap, facing him. "Cad

Her eyes were red and puffy from crying, her body wrapped in the sheets that had witnessed the chaos. She felt hollow, her mind a swirl of confusion and heartache.The door creaked open, and Aurora stepped in quietly, her expression filled with concern. She crossed the room in a few quick strides and wrapped her arms around Lilian, holding her tightly. Lilian stiffened at first, then melted into the embrace, the dam of her emotions breaking once more.Aurora stroked her hair gently. "Lilian, I'm here.It's okay. Let it all out."Lilian clung to Aurora, her sobs coming hard and fast. "I felt it, Aurora. I felt the bond. We're truly mates, and I think I already like him. I feel like I can't live without him. But now he's madto me, and it hurts so much."Aurora held her tighter, her own eyes filling with tears at seeing her friend in such pain. "Oh, Lilian. I'm so s
Third Person POVCaden approached Lilian's bedroom with a heavy heart, ready to explain everything to his daughter. The events of the past week had been tumultuous, and he needed her to understand why he hadn’t told her about him and Aurora. But as he reached for the door, something felt off. The door was slightly ajar, and the scent of sweat and sex hung thick in the air.Pushing the door open, Caden’s eyes widened in shock at the sight before him. Lilian was in bed, naked and tangled in sheets, with a man beside her. His heart dropped when he recognized the man—it was Caleb, his twin brother. Rage ignited within him like a wildfire."You son of a bitch!" Caden roared, storming into the room.Caleb barely had time to react before Caden's fist connected with his jaw, sending him reeling back onto the bed. Lilian screamed, pulling the sheets up to cover herself as the brothers clashed violently."What the hell are you doing?" Caleb shouted, scrambling to defend himself as Caden swung
Third Person POV Caleb rises to his knees, rips open the zipper on his trousers, and fists his cock in his hand.Lilian stares at it with wide eyes, her hammering heart skipping a beat, then starting up again, beating even faster. Thick and veined, the shaft juts out proudly from his fist. The crown is fat and red, the slit on top glistening with a drop of wetness.His cock is massive, almost intimidating in size. "That look on your face is a bloody nice compliment," he growls. Then he positions himself between her spread thighs, sliding the head up and down through her pussy lips, wetting it.Lilian gasps, managing a breathy, "Condom?""Wasn't planning on having sex today," he says through gritted teeth, staring down into her wide eyes. "Still time to say no, Lilian."She's so turned on, she can barely think. "You said you were clean?""Aye. I promise.""Then fuck me, Caleb. And don't you dare hold anything back. I want everything you have to give me."His grin looks feral. With a s
Third Person POVDelirious, her eyes rolling back in her head, Lilian gasped, “What the hell is happening?” Maybe she is drunk. “Your mate is fingering your gorgeous wet cunt, that’s what,” Caleb growled, his voice dripping with lust.“Goddess! Caleb!” she cried out, her body trembling.“Aye, lass. Say my name just like that when you come,” he breathed, his accent thick and intoxicating.Rocking his hips into her so his erection was pressed right up against her hip, he kissed a path down her neck to her chest, then licked at her cleavage, dipping his tongue into the cleft between her breasts. When she groaned again, he lightly bit down on the swell of one breast.“I need to taste every inch of you,” he whispered, his voice dark and commanding. “I need to bite every perfect part of your skin. I want to fuck you and spank you and make you take my cock down your throat. I want you to tell me every filthy thing you want me to do to you, starting right fucking now.”He pulled his fingers
