4 Years Later..."Dandara," I grumbled, gently pushing her away from little Tity, our pet cat. "Let him be! He wants to go out.""But uncle, I love him so much, I want him to stay with me," she pouted."I understand, but it's not possible, okay?" I raised my eyebrows as I opened the front door for Tity to hop into the garden. She pouted again, sighed heavily, and stared at me, blinking."Where's Aunt Malia?" She asked, turning her head towards me."In Luna's office," I smiled faintly at her, tousling her hair."Okay," she said, running upstairs. I watched her with a small smile.Dandara was growing into a beautiful little girl. Besides a wonderful upbringing, of course. She's kind and loving, especially towards animals—although sometimes her passion makes her a bit too clingy, much to Tity's dismay.She was already four years old. Malia and I never hid who we really were from her. We always made it clear that we were her aunt and uncle so she wouldn't be even more shocked when she foun
"Yes," He stares at me, another flash of pain passing through his eyes. It must be painful to recall such cruel memories. "With Joshua, your brother," He says, through gritted teeth. "The first few times they laid together, she used some spell so I couldn't feel... but my wolf sensed it. He felt it and wanted to kill him, but even more, it was the first time my wolf wanted to reject her. After that, it became more and more frequent, until the day she forgot... she simply allowed me to burn and almost die, listening to every filthy thought of hers while they screwed like animals," His voice comes through gritted teeth. He is upset. I think it's the first time he's spoken about it, considering his voice is filled with pain and contempt. "They were both disgusting.""I... I'm so sorry," I murmur, shocked."It wasn't anyone's fault," He says, sighing. "I just... can't feel much for everything she suffered and for being dead.""Me neither. She did things that, honestly... If Malia were hurt
### MaliaThe night had come to an end. I was dressed in a long, beautiful white dress with a sweetheart neckline. Jaden was wearing beige pants and a white shirt, his hair slightly tousled - but in a very handsome way.I spread a thin layer of gloss on my lips and press them together, staring at myself in the mirror. I flash a bright smile and wink at my reflection, acknowledging my beauty.“You look stunning,” Jaden said, appearing behind me. His hand smoothed my forearm, and he left a passionate kiss on my shoulder. I looked at him through the mirror, laughing.“You look even more handsome,” I turned to him, wrapping my arms around his neck and pulling him in for a kiss. “Oh, I've waited so long for this day.” He kissed my neck lightly.“You love New Year's, don’t you?” He laughed.“Very much.” I sighed, moistening my lips. “Well, let's go before the food gets cold. I had so many wonderful things prepared for us to try.”“Oh, yeah?” He sighed. “I hope there's pudding.”“Well, ever s
Well, Paul really was very different from the man we knew. He no longer had that sparkle in his eyes. His hair was cut short — like a military style — his face was clean-shaven, and he bore a scar on his cheek. He seemed to have lost his touch with people, once again. His posture was upright, and he always seemed tense.“Paul,” Jaden said, smiling. “I’m glad you came.” My mate looked at me as he helped me up. “You and Malia already know each other…”“Luna, I’m pleased to see you at last,” he said with a slight bow. “I’m glad you’re well. King Alpha Jaden told me everything that happened to you. I’m sorry.”“That’s in the past. Now, I’m a mother of five beautiful, lively children, so I have no time for melancholy.”“Well, I’d love to meet your children,” he laughed. “I would have loved to be your delivery doctor. I confess I’m a bit jealous of the new doctor.”“Oh, but we searched so much for you. We wanted you back. This was your home, and we wanted you to stay. It’s a pleasure to have
Last night passed by quickly, and I wasn't ready for the day to start again. In fact, I loved spending time with my friends so much that I was always willing to stay up late if it meant being together.The night ended when Paul decided to leave. Damon had to take his mate, Katalina, home since she still lived with her parents, and Lilith was sleepy because of the pregnancy. After we got back home and put the kids to bed, Jaden and I still had a few rounds of sex before we fell asleep exhausted.It was definitely the best way to start the year. We had been together for four years and it was like a lucky ritual. We had been leading a quiet and peaceful life in the past few years, and that's what we liked.Our beginning was a bit turbulent, too tumultuous. Now, we cherished every moment of peace, not knowing when something difficult could happen again.To be realistic, we were always on alert, waiting for something very difficult to happen. After everything we went through, it was strange
"Well, maybe it's also a little bit my fault. It's been a long time since I talked to her, I was so absorbed in my own problems and pack issues that I may have forgotten to pay attention to her. I just asked if she wanted to run, and when she refused, I said it was okay.""Try talking to her a bit. I'll give you some privacy and go to the bathroom, I'll be back in a few minutes. Actually, I think I'll take a shower. Are you sure you don't want to join me?" He gave me a half smile."No, Jaden, I'm not going to the bathroom with you." I laughed. "Actually, I think I will talk to Fawn after all." I sighed."Do that, talk to her and try to get something out of that little wolf. If nothing works, call me and Mark and we'll come to save you."after he leaves and leaves me alone with my own thoughts, I finally gather the courage and call her."Fawn?" I called, hesitant."Hi, Malia, it's you,""Yes, it's me. What's with you?" I asked."It's nothing. Why would there be a problem with me?" She a
That's why sometimes we left all the work aside to take care of our babies and spend time with them. After all, family is all we have.I loved so much being with him, with our children, living a life as if we were normal people, of course, with our wolves always close by.Mark loved watching the children; whenever we went out, he was there, watching everything all the time. He seemed very proud of the family we had already built, but I don't remember him admitting to that.I chuckled at my own thought. Mark is so proud! So different from Jaden, I mean, I didn't expect Jaden and his wolf to be so different. People always said how Jaden could be more sensible, but even being sensible at the right times, he could still be tough in the toughest moments.Very different from Jaden, who was such a good man, so affectionate, always willing to say he loved us, that he was in love and very grateful for the family he had built. Of course, he was the heart of the two, while Mark was the brain."Go
The truth is that Lilith was more than right when she said we needed a bit of beach time, the sound of the waves crashing against the rocks, the smell of the sea breeze, the salt and sand getting between my toes, the cool breeze hitting my face, the scorching sun touching my head, all of it seemed perfect at that moment.It's been so long since I've been here to enjoy it, and the truth is that maybe I've never really come here to truly enjoy it. Usually, we bring the kids to play, or we leave that task to the babysitters. We never really stopped to sit and observe the wonder of the Moon goddess.But one thing was clear: truly being by the sea, in the grandeur of the Earth, was wonderful. I mean, how could the beach be so perfect?I take a bite of mango from my fruit salad that I asked Ômega to prepare for us to bring.Besides us, the beach was empty and, to be honest, at first I didn't understand why it was so empty - at least, not until Jaden reminded me that it was the castle's priva
