Aurora’s POV With a heavy sigh, I turned on my heel, my steps carrying me away from the lingering presence of Alpha Caden. The weight of his scrutiny still hung in the air, a constant reminder of the unresolved tension that simmered between us. As I made my way back to the solitude of my room, a sense of unease gnawed at the edges of my consciousness.Avoidance had become my default strategy in recent days—a desperate attempt to sidestep the inevitable confrontations that seemed to lurk around every corner. Alpha Caden's imposing presence only served to amplify my sense of discomfort, each encounter leaving me feeling more exposed and vulnerable than the last.Retreating to the confines of my room offered a fleeting respite from the relentless pressure of pack politics and personal turmoil. Here, in the quiet solitude of my own space, I could briefly escape the weight of expectations and obligations that seemed to loom over me at every turn.Yet even as I sought refuge in the familia
Aurora’s POV The elderly maid approached, her footsteps echoing softly in the tranquil space, I watched her with a mixture of curiosity and wariness, uncertain of what to expect from her unexpected visit. I know her to be the head of the maids, and we have sat and talked during my times in the kitchen. But this is different. Yet, as she spoke, her words carried a surprising depth of understanding, cutting through the layers of my defenses with uncanny precision. I leaned forward to listen to all she’s got to say because I’m curious. "My dear, I've seen the burden you carry, hidden beneath your stoic facade. Alpha Caden, he's more than just your employer, isn't he?" She asked with a tilt of her head that shows she knows something and I shouldn’t lie. Those eyes filled with age and knowledge. Taken aback, my eyes flickering with surprise, "I... I'm not sure what you mean."With a knowing smile, her eyes twinkled with understanding, she said. "Oh, child, there's no need to pretend wi
Aurora’s POV I swallowed when he walked in in his gym suit looking so handsome and yummy. I gulped down, my eyes taking down his muscles as they bulged beneath his outfit. I tried to pry my eyes away from him but couldn’t and when his eyes zeroed on me, there was a wicked glint in his eyes I’m not sure I like. “Who gave you the permission to come to my private gym, little fox?” He asked with a tilt of his head to the side, a predatory move. I shrugged my shoulders nonchalantly. “I gave myself the permission to.”He gave a twisted lopsided smile that made my core clench. “Well then, you are in for an intense workout session with me, sweetheart.”The nickname has my heart galloping in my chest but I maintained a neutral look. This man cannot know what is going on within me or he might take advantage of that. I’m also glad our mating bond is not as strong as it should be thanks to Eva always blocking me or he would have felt it. “So…” I pretend to stretch so Alpha Caden can admire me
Aurora’s POV After the only ten minutes I’ve ever enjoyed on a cardio machine, I hop down and await Alpha Caden’s next set of instructions. I feel more energized than when I walked in here. Normally cardio exhausts me which is why I hardly do it. He takes me over to the bench where he’s set up an Olympic bar. He shows me the basics of a proper bench press, which I thought were self-explanatory but apparently not. Turns out, there’s a lot of technique to shoving a bar straight up in the air.Alpha Caden puts his big, warm hands on my body, showing me how to arch my back, how to put the weight over my chest in the right place. As he takes me through the motion, it actually feels pretty good. Maybe it’s because I’m horny as fuck, but each contraction of muscle is strangely pleasurable. My nipples are as hard as rock. I knew Alpha Caden was hot for his age, way too hot. I’m sure I never would have been so sexually aroused if he was my age. I mean, I always find older men fucking attrac
Alpha Caden’s POV The pack hummed with a newfound sense of harmony, a palpable energy coursing through the air that I hadn't felt in years. I surveyed the bustling activity around me, a sense of pride swelled within my chest. The pack was thriving, running smoother than ever before under my leadership.Gone were the days of constant skirmishes with rogues and internal discord. Instead, there was a sense of unity among the pack members, a shared purpose that propelled us forward. It was as if the very fabric of our pack had been woven tighter, binding us together in a collective mission.I couldn't help but wonder if the recent changes in my personal life had played a role in this newfound tranquillity. My relationship with Aurora had brought a renewed vigour to my existence, igniting a passion within me that spilled over into every aspect of my leadership.Perhaps it was the raw intensity of our encounters, the primal connection we shared, that had unlocked something within me, empow
Alpha Caden’s POV After the messenger delivered the shocking news, my mind raced with a whirlwind of questions. He looks so stoic and serious but also respectful at the same time. He isn’t laughing at my shocked and flabbergasted expression. "What happened to the Alpha King? How did he die? Why am I being summoned?" But the messenger remained steadfast, his expression unreadable as he replied with a respectful tone. "I am not permitted to disclose any further information, Your Majesty." He said, his head bowed a little. This is getting serious. The weight of his words hit me like a physical blow. "Your Majesty?" I repeated, my voice barely above a whisper. The title sounded foreign on my lips, a stark reminder of the immense responsibility that now lay before me.The messenger nodded solemnly, confirming my suspicions. "Yes, Your Majesty. You are summoned to the Alpha King's palace to assume your rightful place as the new Alpha King."A wave of disbelief washed over me, mingled w
Aurora’s POV I paced back and forth in the bathroom, my mind racing with disbelief as I made my way to the mirror to converse with myself since I am apparently going crazy with so many things I want to say but cannot. I mean, I only have my best friend to talk to and I cannot exactly tell her her father is my mate. "Okay, yes, I am shocked," I muttered, the words tumbling out in a breathless rush. "I mean, what the hell? Alpha Caden is the next Alpha King?" My voice rose with incredulity, echoing the disbelief that churned within me.As I grappled with the staggering revelation, I found myself struggling to make sense of it all. "Yeah, never in my wildest dreams had I ever thought of something like this," I continued, my words tinged with incredulity. "I mean, no one ever has because my dad was so shocked when he heard." The memory of my father's stunned reaction only served to deepen my confusion."And the rest of the pack members..." I trailed off, my brows furrowing in bewilder
Alpha Caden’s POV We approached the Alpha King's palace, I was awe-struck by its grandeur. The palace stood tall and majestic, its gleaming towers reaching towards the sky. The architecture was breathtaking, adorned with intricate carvings and ornate details that spoke of centuries of history and tradition.Weentered the palace grounds, the sight that greeted us was nothing short of mesmerizing. The gardens were a riot of color, with vibrant flowers blooming in perfectly manicured beds. Fountains sparkled in the sunlight, their crystal-clear waters cascading down marble sculptures. The air was filled with the sweet fragrance of roses and the sound of birdsong. Everything here screams opulence and real power. Not the one alphas all over the world desperately want. This is real sovereignty. Inside the palace, every room seemed more opulent than the last. Rich tapestries adorned the walls, depicting scenes of heroic deeds and ancient battles. Chandeliers hung from the ceilings, casti
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. Carefully, he disentangled himself from her and p
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
Third Person POVLilian sat on the edge of her bed, the room still reeling from the emotional storm that had just passed. 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
