Jaden was so good in bed, he knew exactly what to do, how to act. I held onto him, feeling lightheaded. My vision blurred, my mouth hung open, and I gasped, feeling a shiver run through my body.I just let him do whatever he wanted. I moaned, squeezing him tighter and tighter, scratching his wrists that held me firmly as he went deeper and deeper, taking everything from me for himself.He knew how to satisfy me. He knew everything. Jaden knew me like the back of his hand.A guttural moan escaped his throat as he thrust one last time, filling me completely with his seed.I felt him filling me with his warm liquid. I moaned and closed my eyes, savoring the sensation.Our chests heaved. I took a deep breath, pulling air into my lungs, and licked my lips.“My God, I love you so much,” Jaden murmured, leaning down to press his forehead against mine.Jaden stood up slowly, careful not to hurt me. He moved just enough to pick me up in his arms, holding me tenderly as he headed to the bathroom
InvestigationThe sun was beginning to rise on the horizon when Malia, Jaden, and Damon gathered in the pack's meeting room. Tension hung in the air, and everyone knew they were about to face an unknown enemy. The conversation with Paul the previous night had made it clear that there was a greater threat lurking, and they needed to act quickly to protect their family and their pack."We need to find out who these people are," Malia said, her voice firm but tinged with concern. "And we need to remember every detail that can help us. Let's start with the wolf who tried to attack us on the road."Jaden nodded, his face serious. "I remember that wolf. His eyes were filled with hatred and anger. He wasn't just any wolf. He was someone with a purpose."Damon, standing beside Malia, furrowed his brow. "I remember him too. It seemed like he was looking for something specific. Maybe he was after Dandara or some sign of weakness.""He seemed desperate," Jaden continued, "as if he had a mission t
I was consumed with jealousy. I couldn't handle my own jealousy.With the pack's calmness, I was finally managing to focus on my own feelings and seeing Serena reclaim her place was awful and painful.I didn't want her to, I didn't accept her to. Because to me, it seemed so unfair that she would come in and just reclaim a place in my little girl's life?I snorted, closing my eyes frustrated. Luckily, I was alone and could feel everything alone too, without anyone asking me questions.About ten minutes ago, Dandara said she wanted to live with Serena - who had gone to a small cabin in the center of the pack. Of course I denied at the time."But you were causing a much larger argument than you should have," Jaden said that we couldn't simply stop Dandara here if she wanted to go, okay, it was her right.But I couldn't believe it, I simply couldn't believe that she would leave us after so many years. I took care of her, I attached myself to her, I love her so much, I simply don't know if
### Anonymous POVThe man sits in his chair, his posture impassive and nearly perfect, embedded in the exterior of his office, slightly molded to his taste."Sir," the whisper behind him forces him to turn around."Yes?" he asks, frowning."Dave just returned," he murmurs, his cheeks growing even redder."Let him in," I say.But when I look into his eyes, I know something is wrong."Yes?" I look him up and down, already clenching my fists."S-sir," he stammers."Tell me, tell me you at least killed one of your companions?" I ask.My greatest desire at the moment was to make Jaden and Malia realize that I was close, so close.They wouldn’t know what hit them. He would take them down before it was too late; it was almost time. He had been anxious and agitated in recent days."No, sir," he lowered his eyes. "That man... Jaden... he's a... wizard.""Damn it, what did he do?" I ask.The fact that he could already master his powers was worrying. It meant they were already learning their abil
Malia's POVI couldn't shake the feeling of danger, the sense that something was watching me, that something incredibly strong was closing in on me, ready to consume me.I was worried about Dandara, about my children, about Jaden, about the pack. I was upset, I was jealous. Everything seemed to be rolling into a snowball that was completely suffocating me.I shifted in my chair in Luna’s office, where I spent most of my time, and reread the paper once more. I was trying to gather as much information as possible about The Fallen.Apparently, they were being funded by some group, but they seemed to work alone and for their own interests. The information had leaked from someone, it was out there, while Jaden and I believed our children were safe.For a second, I hated my responsibility. I hated having to deal with all this mess that I didn’t even create. I know the goddess chose me, and I’m grateful for such an honor, but maybe if I had known beforehand, I would have left the responsibili
I quickly slipped out of bed. My cold feet touched the floor, and I rubbed my eyes, trying to get my bearings. I was in the children's room, having slept in the single bed that used to be Dandara's, along with Josh. Jaden had slept in the nursing chair, cradling Miriam. She was so attached to him.Yesterday, we made the most difficult decision for us. It was obvious that none of us wanted to give up the children, but it was no longer a matter of choice. It was that or put them in danger, and the last thing I wanted was for them to be in danger. My children were everything to me; I loved them with all my heart and would rather give them up than let them out of my sight.We spent the entire day with them, and today I would have to talk to Lilith about the possibility of her going with them to take care of the babies and protect herself. I would never forgive myself if she got hurt.Initially, I had planned to visit them. But after much discussion yesterday, we decided that we couldn't le
The crash reverberated for the second time, and I jumped as I grabbed one of the twins. The others did the same while Bruno pulled Lilith behind him. “What the hell is happening?” Damon asked as we gathered in a small circle. “We're under attack,” Jaden said. “It’s started,” Damon said, swallowing hard. “We need to get them out of here.” “W-what? H-how?” Lilith asked. “Go up to your floor and gather as much as you can,” Jaden ordered. “Damon, have the group delay them as long as possible. Lilith, you, Bruno, and the kids need to leave now,” he said as I felt my eyes fill with tears. She nodded, taking a deep breath. “You’ll go through the basement,” Damon said. “It leads to a super safe and hidden exit. It would take days for them to find you there.” “There will be a car waiting for you,” Jaden added. I felt my eyes stinging, my throat tightening, and I couldn't speak. I couldn't form a single sentence. I just ran, grabbing two of the twins and sending a clear message to the n
**Lilith's POV**I was in a panic. My heart pounded in my chest as I stared at him with stinging eyes. When we finally emerged from the large tunnel lit by artificial lamps, the dense forest opened up to reveal a long dirt path between the trees. It was well hidden but would be better used at night.We were all wearing the necklaces given by Malia. The car was sprayed with something Damon used to hide our scent. If it weren’t for the sound of the engine, we would be completely imperceptible.I looked back to find two pairs of eyes staring at me, while the other two remained still, sleeping like the beautiful babies they were. My beautiful nephews. Only three years old and already going through so much. What a hell. Who could have imagined, after all?They spoke, but they spoke little and somewhat garbled. Fortunately, Malia had gotten them used to sleeping in their own rooms, but we all knew how hard it would be for them not to see their parents for a long time.“Is everything okay, de
20 YEARS LATER“Darling?” I called as I opened Jaden’s office door.“Beautiful.” He smiled warmly at me. “What do you need?”“Nothing,” I murmured, smiling back. “I just missed you.”“Well, lucky for you, I’m finishing up my work now,” he said, grumbling.“Well, even if you hadn’t finished, I would have insisted you stop.” I said, leaning over his office chair. His hands moved to my hips, pulling me closer.His lips met mine, and he drew me in, guiding my legs to either side of his hips. For the past 20 years, Jaden and I couldn’t keep our hands off each other. It was almost as if our bond was continually renewing itself, which was pretty incredible.Our kisses deepened, and he stood up from the chair with me still wrapped around him, placing me on top of his desk. Jaden's fingers traced every inch of my body.“Jaden, we’re running late,” I murmured, feeling him plant kisses all over my neck and chest.“No one will mind, Malia,” he whispered, as I dug my nails into his shoulders.Jade
Two months later…The pain overwhelmed me completely. It was early morning, and I groaned as I got up and placed my feet on the cold floor of my room.“It’s time, Malia,” Fawn said in my head.“Oh my God. Not again,” I groaned.“This time, with just one baby, we can have a natural birth,” Fawn said, excited.“Oh, no! It… it must hurt,” I whimpered.“Malia, we’re strong, dear,” she winked at me. “We’ll manage. We always do. Look at everything we’ve been through,” she sighed.I nodded as another wave of pain hit me, and I groaned while getting out of bed to try and go to the bathroom, only to find water running down my legs and dripping onto the floor.Jaden jumped up, startled, and turned on the bedside lamp. “W-what?” He seemed to be trying to process what was happening.“Dear, I’m in labor,” I said, biting my cheek.“We need to go to the hospital,” he said, jumping out of bed and searching for things I didn’t understand.“Call the doctor, Jaden,” I grumbled. “And your mother. Call bo
I frowned, my gaze shifting between the two women. Sophie’s eyes were downcast, her hands trembling slightly as she kept them clasped. I had never seen her like this before — so vulnerable, so frightened. A shiver ran down my spine.“What’s going on?” I asked, my tone now more serious. “Is something wrong?”Sophie finally raised her head, her eyes meeting mine. They were filled with so much emotion — fear, hope, regret. It was as if she was carrying a weight that was crushing her from within.“Jaden,” she whispered, her voice wavering. “There’s something you need to know… something I should have told you a long time ago.”My heart began to race. Malia squeezed my hand gently, a gesture of support, but I could see the concern in her eyes too. Okay, something was starting to feel very wrong here.“Just tell me,” I urged, trying to keep my voice steady. “What is it?”Sophie took a deep breath, her chest heaving as if she was about to dive into the deepest, darkest part of the ocean. “I…
I was determined. Today would be the day I would reveal everything to everyone. Finally, Jaden would know that Sophie was his biological mother, the one who had been prevented from raising him due to the cruelty of others.When Sophie entered the room to bring my breakfast, she looked as calm and composed as ever. She walked in with a tray and a smile on her face, but there was something in her eyes that made me feel it was the right moment."Good morning, Queen Malia," Sophie said, placing the tray on the table beside the bed. "As always, I prepared your coffee myself.""Good morning, Sophie," I replied, watching her closely. "Actually, I need to talk to you about something very important."Sophie raised an eyebrow, clearly surprised, and sat on the edge of the bed. "What happened? It sounds serious.""It is serious," I confirmed, looking at her firmly.I hesitated for a moment, trying to find the right words to express my discovery. Like it or not, it was something serious to share,
I woke up with the weak afternoon sun filtering through the curtains, feeling a restless sleep overtaking me. I barely noticed when I fell asleep. The time seemed to drag on throughout the afternoon, and every minute I waited for the results was a torment. I looked at Jaden, who was still sleeping peacefully beside me, and carefully got up to avoid waking him. I dressed quickly before anyone could appear and left my room, checking to make sure I was alone. I descended the castle’s corridors, my heart racing with each step toward the doctor’s office. Each footfall seemed to echo in my chest, reflecting the mix of anxiety and hope I felt. The need for confirmation and the fear of facing a painful truth was almost paralyzing. When I finally reached the doctor’s office door, I knocked softly and entered as soon as he gave a brief “come in.” He was sitting at his desk with a grave expression, which instantly sent a shiver down my spine. “Majesty, the results are ready,” he said, his
"Why do you want to know about my mother?" he asks, his eyes dropping to me with a gleam. "She died, as you know, and—" "No, dear. Your real mother. Didn't your father tell you about her?" I ask. "Oh, that..." He clears his throat and looks at the ceiling. "Dad didn’t give me any photos or descriptions. But he said her name was Sophie, that she lived in our pack, but they were forbidden to live their love after they turned eighteen, when they hadn’t discovered they were mates." He pauses slightly, my eyes widening with each new piece of information. "So, my grandfather took my mother away. They reunited sometime later and spent one night together, making love. The next day, my father found his true mate, and my mother completely disappeared again. Dad tried to move on with his bond, but a year later, when I was only three months old, my mother showed up at his door, begging him to raise me." "What do you mean?" I frown. "Why?" "My mother had a cruel mate, love." His fingers twi
Soph had a mother’s love. She took care of me with a tenderness I had only experienced in my childhood. Now, after my bath, I'm finishing my chicken sandwich while she brushes my hair in front of the mirror in my room.“You have beautiful hair,” she says, gently pulling it back to keep it from falling into my face.“Thank you,” I smile. “So, is the weather here always like this? Does it change so quickly?”“Ever since I got here, yes.” She nods.“So, you’re not from around here?” I ask, surprised.“No,” she laughs. “I’m from the other side.”“Where from?” I ask.“Well…” She clears her throat. “I think this is the only place I’ve really put down roots. I used to travel a lot,” she stammers a bit.“That must have been hard to do with a child,” I murmur.“Actually, no.” Her cheeks flush a little. “I did it alone. Reuniting with my son felt like receiving a gift from the goddess.”“That’s so touching,” my eyes sparkle. “Why did you leave him?”“Oh, I had a problem with my mate, who wasn’t
The days have been almost all the same. I think the pregnancy has made me slower and sleepier, so by the time I wake up, Jaden has already left to start his work as king.I know he's trying to protect me because of the baby, but I want to help while I still can since, during my postpartum recovery, it will be impossible to do much. Besides, we'll have a newborn to take care of.A week ago, we found out that I'm pregnant with a boy. He’s huge, a bit bigger than the twins were, since he doesn’t have to share the womb with anyone else. I can already imagine that he’ll be a big, strong man when he grows up.I sighed as I placed my feet on the cold floor of my room and shivered. A cold front had arrived in the city, and I couldn’t quite handle it. I discovered that the climate here is much milder than in my old pack — which is several miles away from here.I was wrapped in one of Jaden’s hoodies, which was several sizes too big and reached halfway down my thighs, along with a pair of my sw
I smiled widely when I saw Jaden. I walked over to him and gently threw myself into his arms. “Hi, dear. How was your day?”“Good,” I murmured. “But it's even better to be home.”The clock on the nightstand read 7:30 PM, which meant we had spent much more time out than we had planned. Anyway, today had been wonderful, and I felt more connected to the culture of the country.“And how was it here?” I asked, looking up at him.“Tiring,” he said, brushing a strand of my hair from my eyes.“You know you can always call on me for support,” I murmured. “I also have responsibilities in this pack.”“For now, you’re busy producing organs and tissues; I think you can take a break for a while,” he joked, and I laughed, rolling my eyes.“I still want to see the kids before dinner,” I said.“I stopped by earlier; they were in the bath, and I decided not to disturb them,” he murmured. “I was waiting for you.”I smiled at him, leaning in for a chaste kiss. As we embraced, I heard the children’s loud,
