Third party povAlpha Lucas paced back and forth, his fists clenched at his sides, his rage radiating off him in waves. He was reeling from a strong mixture of anxiety and rage after learning of his mate had took the boy and run away. It had struck him like silver to his skin."How could she do this to fucking me?!" he growled, his voice low and dangerous. "How could she taken the boy and vanish without a trace?"Alpha Lucas's facade of indifference crumbled as he sank into the depths of his own thoughts. "She means nothing to me," he declared to no one in particular, his voice cold and detached. "I have plenty of women who are more than willing to fulfill my desires."But even as the words left his lips, a pang of longing tugged at his heart. He missed Sage, more than he cared to admit, and the emptiness left in her absence gnawed at him from the inside out.He hated the special bond between mates. Now he was having a difficult time getting her off his mind.Deep down, beneath the l
I took a deep, steadying breath as I watched Mathew playing contentedly in the living area of our den, a small, fond smile tugged at the corners of my mouth as Mathew let out a bright peal of laughter."Mathew? Can you come here for a moment, my sunshine? Mama has something important to share with you."I patted the space next to me, unable to stop my smile from widening as Mathew immediately snuggled against my side.I dropped a tender kiss on Mathew's forehead. He hummed contentedly at my touch, those striking emerald eyes watching me with rapt attention."Did I do somethin' bad, Mumma?" he asked suddenly, small brow furrowing adorably."No, my little star, you're not in any trouble this time," I assured him.With a smile, I cradled my son close and murmured, "How would you feel about becoming a big brother, my heart? Because very soon...you're going to have a new baby sibling."It took a heartbeat for Mathew's eyes to go wide in realization. Then, before I could even register his re
I watched from the sidelines, a sleeping Mathew bundled against my chest, as Dominic and Alpha Scott went over strategies with the warriors for tomorrow's battle. My heart clenched just thinking of my mate leading the pack into war for the first time.What if I lost him out there? The thought caused my breath to hitch. I pulled Mathew closer, cradling my still flat stomach with my free hand.Our twins were newly conceived, just starting to take shape inside me. What if I lost them too?He must have sensed my distress, because Dominic looked up and met my worried gaze from across the field. Leaving the strategy session, he quickly crossed over to the field until he stood before me. His palm cupped my cheek."I will return to you, my luna," he murmured intensely. His eyes flickered down to my abdomen before locking back on mine. "All of you. Have faith."I managed a small nod, leaning into his touch.Though I trusted his strength, the fear still gnawed sharply with our growing family at
Alpha Dominic's PovI stood resolute beside Alpha Scott as our pack gathered around us. The warriors were clad for battle. We would eradicate this threat once and for all. My jaw clenched grimly. I had no qualms about the violence to come - it was necessary to keep our loved ones safe.My thoughts strayed to Freya and our son. Thanks to the powerful shield Freya had erected, no non-pack members could enter our territory. It would protect them absolutely from being caught up in the impending war.I was determined that Freya remain behind this shield, no matter how capable she was. I didn't want her anywhere near the carnage to come. Though her power could likely end the conflict swiftly, the risk was too great.No, I would make sure Freya and our child remained untouched by the battle, safe within the pack. My wolf snarled at the thought of them being endangered.There was a change of plans, we would leave tonight. It would take us at least three days to reach our destination. By the t
"Are you sure about this, Thalia?" I asked the white witch hesitantly. "Dominic was adamant I stay away from the war."Thalia fixed me with her piercing gaze. "Your mate needs you, Freya. I would not go against his wishes if the situation was not dire."My chest tightened with dread and concern for Dominic, but I determined. He had forbidden me from joining the battle, convinced I would be safer here. Yet Thalia's solemn words rang with the weight of truth.Taking a steadying breath, I met the Thalia's eyes squarely. "I'm ready then. More than ready to help my mate and pack win this war." I flexed my fingers, calling on the magic thrumming through my veins. "But how will we reach the battlefield undetected?"A mysterious smile curved Thalia's lips. "The same way I managed to slip Sage out of Lucas's grasp when she required my assistance in escaping."If they were overwhelmed, my power could turn the tide. Thalia was right - my place was by their side, consequences be damned. "Let's go,
Around us, the sounds of war seemed to fade into insignificance. There was only my world shattered into fragments, and Mia's loathsome presence desecrating my anguish.But I needed to pay attention to my mate, just as I gathered my strength to pour life into Dominic's wolf form, the cold muzzle of a gun pressed against my temple - Mia's hand holding the weapon steady."Drop the corpse and step away from it, dear sister," she hissed venomously.My heart shattered once more, but I carefully laid Dominic's body back on the blood-soaked ground and stood. Tears streamed down my cheeks as I met Mia's cruel gaze."Why are you doing this?" I asked, feeling pissed and angry. "Haven't you already accomplished ruining me in the past?"Mia threw back her head in a fit of wicked laughter. When her eyes bored into me again, they burned with sadistic glee.Instead of the mocking laughter I expected, Mia's expression contorted into one of pure venom and hatred."Me? Ruin you?" She spat the words like
It had been a full day since our forces arrived back at the pack's territory, battered but victorious after the brutal confrontation with Alpha Lucas's rogues and packs. I stood beside Dominic as he addressed our assembled warriors and allies from Alpha Scott's pack. My gaze drifted to Dominic, taking in the quiet power exuding from his very stance. In his arms, he cradled Mathew, our son squirming happily against his father's chest. Dominic seemed to follow my train of thought. His eyes found mine for a lingering moment as he bounced Mathew gently. Dominic stepped forward, Mathew cradled securely in the crook of his arm. A hush fell over the assembled warriors as he raised his free hand for silence. When he spoke, his carried clearly across the crowd. "Today we bask in the glory of a triumph that was dearly bought." His expression was ceremonious. "We have shed blood and lost zero souls because of our Luna and Thalia, the white witch, in defense of our home." "But because of you
Within no time almost all our clothes were ripped off as we thrashed between heated kisses. His growls and the way he gripped my hair so tight just turned me on."That's right, Luna," Dominic groaned as I left hot, open-mouthed kisses trailing down his ripped abs. Feeling his muscles twitch under my lips was driving me wild.When I finally made it down to his thick, throbbing cock, I shot him a naughty grin before taking him into my mouth in one slick motion. The guttural moan he let out went, straight to my core.I got to work, swirling my tongue shamelessly and hollowing my cheeks to suck him even deeper. His fingers tightened in my hair as he struggled not to buck his hips. "Fuck, Freya...your mouth feels so damn good..."Hearing him cry out my name like that made me hum in satisfaction, the vibrations driving him even wilder. His hips jerked wildly as he tried not to lose control completely. "You wicked vixen...you'll be the death of me..."Hearing his moan, my lips parted before
Epilogue4 years later.......I woke up with a long, satisfying stretch, my muscles still languid from sleep. The sheets shifted beneath me, cooler than I expected. I blinked, reaching out, but the bed was empty—no sign of Ryan or Dylan. My lips tugged into a frown as I shifted under the covers, feeling the tender soreness between my thighs. The memory of our earlier intimacy washed over me, making me bite my lip as my face warmed with the thought.With a soft sigh, I pushed myself up looking at the wall clock. When I saw the time, my frown deepened. Seven at night? How had I slept this long? Where were they?I hurried to get dressed, still wondering where the twins were, when I stepped out of the room only to be immediately swept into Dylan’s arms. His lips claimed mine without warning, his kiss teasing and full of that familiar possessiveness. I barely had time to process before he pulled away, smirking down at me."How are you?" he asked."Good now that I'm able to locate at least
The waiting is excruciating. Jessica and I sit side by side in the clinic, both of us fidgeting nervously as we await our blood test results. When the nurse finally hands us our envelopes, I feel like I might throw up from the anticipation.Jessica opens hers first. I watch her face intently, my heart pounding in my chest. Then, a smile breaks across her face.“I’m clear,” she says, relief evident in her voice. “No toxins.”I let out a breath I didn’t realize I’d been holding. “Oh, thank goodness,” I say, genuinely happy for her.Jessica and Morgan embrace, their joy evident. With trembling hands, I open my own envelope. My eyes scan the paper, searching for the results. And there it is – no toxins detected. A wave of relief washes over me so intensely that I feel lightheaded for a moment.“I’m clear too,” I announce, my voice barely above a whisper.Eager to share the good news with Ryan and Dylan, I get to my feet. But as I look around, I don’t see them in the clinic. Stepping out i
Dylan pulls me closer, his fingers brushing over the curve of my hip. A soft gasp escapes me, but I stay silent, caught between them. They know exactly what they’re doing—teasing, making me crave more.His lips find my neck, leaving a trail of heat as Ryan’s hand slips between my thighs. My pulse quickens, and a shiver runs down my spine as their touches grow more insistent.“You’re so wet already,” Ryan mutters, his breath hot against my ear. “And we haven’t even started.”I can barely breathe as their hands work together, stripping me bare, leaving me exposed to their touch. The nightdress slips away, and the cool air hits my skin, but it’s nothing compared to the heat of their bodies pressing against mine. I can feel Dylan’s growing hardness behind me as Ryan’s fingers dip lower, sliding between my slick folds.Ryan’s hand grips my chin, forcing me to meet his eyes as he strokes his hardness against my wetness. “Open that pretty mouth, Lily.”I obey, parting my lips as he slides hi
Night has fallen, and I stand in front of the mirror, staring at my reflection. The nightdress I’ve chosen is skimpy—practically scandalous. The soft, silky fabric barely reaches mid-thigh, and the neckline plunges just enough to be provocative without being too obvious. A mischievous smile tugs at my lips as I run my hands over the material, smoothing it out.It’s definitely not the kind of outfit someone worried about abstinence would wear. But hey, I’m just getting ready for bed—nothing more, nothing less.The two men sat up in bed, seemingly preoccupied. Their eyes sparing me no glance. I slip into the bed with a deliberate slowness, the cool silk of my skimpy nightdress brushing against my skin. It clings in all the right places, barely covering anything. The plunging neckline and dangerously short hem are no accident. I settle between Ryan and Dylan, now feeling their intense gazes on me, pretending to be utterly oblivious.“Comfortable?” Alpha Dylan asks, his voice filled with
I settle back down on the exam table, looking between Ryan and Dylan with a mix of confusion and annoyance.“Okay, what exactly is going on here? What kind of mission were you two on that has you thinking I’m pregnant?” I ask, crossing my arms over my chest.Ryan and Dylan exchange a glance but ignore my question, their focus shifting to the doctor. Their dismissiveness stings, fueling my growing annoyance. I narrow my eyes at them.“I’m not doing any pregnancy test!” I declare, turning on my heel to leave. But I don’t make it far. In an instant, Dylan’s hand wraps around my wrist, pulling me back with a firm yet gentle tug. I gasp, spinning around to face them both, my frustration boiling over into something more.....naughty while in Dylan's arm.It was sad how I couldn't think clearly for a second in the arms of my mates.They guide me back to the chair, almost too gently, and I find myself sitting before them again. Their hands are folded, their expressions serious, as if they’re a
Lily’s PovI can’t stop pacing. Back and forth, back and forth across the twins living room floor. My heart races, and I can’t shake this gnawing feeling in my gut. Ryan and Dylan are out there, facing who knows what kind of danger, and I’m stuck here, helpless.“Lily, please try to calm down,” Freya’s gentle voice breaks through my spiraling thoughts. I glance over to where she’s sitting on the couch, little Alice fast asleep against her shoulder. “I can sense that they’re okay. Your abilities are probably just a bit off since you’ve only recently gotten them.”I want to believe her, I really do. But the fear is almost paralyzing, I mean my vision looked so real and it’s already been two days what’s taking them so long? Thalia should be using her teleportation go back and forth plus the dark witches were only of a hundred in number. “What if something’s gone wrong?” I whisper, more to myself than to Freya. “What if the dark witches—”“Have faith in your mates,” Freya cuts in, her ton
Alpha Dylan's PovRyan comes to stand beside me, his expression calm but with that unmistakable glint in his eyes. I catch his gaze, a knowing smirk playing on my lips. “So,” I ask, unable to resist the jab, “did you manage to put Lily to sleep?”Ryan just smirks back, his eyes gleaming with a mix of pride and satisfaction. “What do you think?” he replies, his tone dripping with confidence as he begins to walk off.I can’t help but chuckle, falling in step beside him. It was obvious we both knew exactly how to calm her down. It was only a pity that I wasn't able to be there to assist.“She may not be too happy when she wakes up, though,” Ryan adds, his voice more serious now, though still with that lingering edge of amusement.“Of course not,” I reply, shaking my head with a slight smile. “She’s a stubborn one.”Ryan chuckle, a low sound that rumbles in his chest. “It wouldn’t be too exciting if she weren’t a fighter, would it?”I chuckle along with him, appreciating the truth in his
Before I can catch my breath, he pulls out and flips me onto all fours, his hands firm yet gentle as he positions me on my knees. I barely have time to process what’s happening before he’s thrusting into me from behind, his hands gripping my hips as he takes me again, deeper and harder than before.The new angle sends sparks of pleasure shooting through me, and I gasp, my fingers digging into the sheets as he drives into me with relentless force. The sensation is almost too much, the intense pleasure mingling with the soreness of being taken so thoroughly.“Ryan,” I moan, my voice hoarse from screaming. “Oh, God… yes, please… don’t stop!”He doesn’t. Ryan’s pace is punishing, each thrust sending shockwaves of pleasure through me. I can feel the tension building again, the pressure coiling tight in my stomach as he takes me over and over, pushing me closer and closer to the edge.“Fuck, Lily,” he growls, slapping my ass. “No one apart from my brother and me will ever have you like this
We make our way inside Ryan's lavish home passing the young maid who glares at me in my mate's arms making me smirk at her jealousy which was now obvious.Once we were in his room Alpha Ryan’s grip tightens as he tosses me onto the bed, the force of his possessive nature sending a thrill down my spine. My breath hitches as I land on the soft sheets, heart pounding wildly in my chest. Before I can fully process the moment, Ryan is already on top of me, his weight pressing me into the mattress, making me feel utterly claimed.I realized they seemed to love throwing me onto the bed.His eyes are dark, swirling with a mix of desire and something more primal—something that sends a shiver through my entire being. Ryan’s hand cups my chin, forcing me to meet his gaze. “You’re ours, Lily,” he growls, his voice low and rough. “And you don’t ever pull a stunt like that again.”The memory of stripping off my clothes in public flashes in my mind, I bite my lips in a teasing manner watching as his
