LyraI arrived at the Luna's house just as the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a soft golden hue across the hills. The evening air was cool, carrying the scent of pine and earth, Calista's favorite, I thought, as I walked up the gravel driveway. This is because I perceive this scent more than others here.Luna Calista greeted me at the door, her arms open wide, and that familiar warmth of her presence made the tension in my chest ease for the first time all day. Her hair was still a wild cascade of dark curls, and her eyes, they always seemed to be full of mischief. But I have known Calista to be anything but calm and gentle."Lyra!" she said, pulling me into a tight hug. "Good to see you. How are you doing?”I smiled and hugged her back. "I am good. And you?" "I am doing great,Lyra." She stepped back, eyeing my son, Leo, who was in my arms looking around the room, his wide eyes full of curiosity.”And how is my little man?" I passed Leo to her and he didn’t even make a sound
I nodded, glad that she understood where I am coming from.“Well, you are still at the early phase, from what Sable said. And I believe with time, you can decide to block out what you don’t want to hear. Or even concentrate on only your loved ones. You have Sable to guide you. She is a good woman and she will help you."I hope you are right." I took a deep breath. "I don’t know how I feel about all this. But I guess I can take it one day at a time.”“That’s the right attitude to take,” Calista said, studying me carefully, her expression hard to read. "Lyra, you’ve always had the strength to face whatever comes your way. I’m sure you will overcome this too." I nodded slowly. "I know. Sable says I’ll be ready soon, but I don’t know. It feels like too much sometimes." Calista leaned forward, her gentle hand brushing mine. "You don’t have to do this by yourself, Lyra. Whatever happens, you have me. And if you need to, we’ll figure it out together." “Thank you so much, Calista. I fee
I shook my head. “No, it’s not harmful. At least, it never was for me. It’s just some traditional herbs and roots. Nothing dangerous. I’ve watched my mother prepare many times before, for others who needed it. The only side effect is that it sometimes makes you… a little more ummm like you are in heat. I hope you understand.”She chuckled at this. Her lips curled into a thoughtful smile. “Of course I understand, Lyra. And that is not a problem.”I laughed softly, the sound light and freeing. “Glad to hear that.”Calista remained silent for a few moments, then finally nodded. “Alright, I’ll give it a try. But I’ll need to know everything that we need so we can get it.”I nodded enthusiastically, already reaching into my bag to pull out a small notebook. Inside, I had written down the ingredients my mother had used, the steps to make the potion exactly right. “There are a few key herbs,” I began, flipping through the pages. “First, you’ll need Myringwort. It’s a root that grows near th
Then he stood up.“I heard you can read minds. Are you reading my mind right now?” he asks me while coming closer.“No, I am not,” I replied, wondering where this is going.“I wish you were. So that you can know how you have consumed my mind, how much I think about you. How I want to hold you and care for you. This is what has been going through my mind from the first day I saw you at our border with a protruding belly.”Shock!Silence!!What did I just hear? No, I have to be sure that I heard right.“What?” I said with my mouth and eyes wide open."I care about you," he said, almost too quietly, as if the confession was a weight he had been carrying for a while. "More than I should." The words hit me like a cold rush of wind. My heart stuttered in my chest. I blinked at him, momentarily speechless, the weight of what he had said settling heavily between us."You ...you care about me?" I asked, my voice barely above a whisper, as if I had misheard him. I still don’t believe this. “Bu
The morning sun filtered through the windows of Calista's home, casting a golden glow across the room. The herbs and roots the maids had gathered the day before were now carefully simmering in a large pot on the stove, the scent of the healing potion filling the air with an earthy, soothing aroma. I was deep in concentration, making sure the brew was prepared just as my mother had taught me. It had to be perfect. Calista and I were counting on it.I glanced over at her as she sat at the table, her fingers absentmindedly tracing patterns on the cloth. She seemed nervous, yet hopeful. I could see the anxiety in her eyes, but there was something else there too. There was also a flicker of hope and excitement at the thought that maybe, just maybe, this could work. She wanted a child so badly, and I wanted to help her get what she deserved.Once I had finished the potion, we let it cool. When it was ready, I poured it into a small vial, the liquid glimmering in the morning light. I turned
I sat at the head of the conference table, watching as the representatives of the Sol Group and some of my executives filed out of the room. The meeting had gone smoothly, far smoother than I had expected, to be honest. They didn’t come with a large contingent like I expected.The two packs are not friends with each other but then we were not at war either. It's more like we were wary of one another and were waiting for who would make the first move. Usually if they are coming to this kind of meeting, they will come with a lot of their warriors in case things turn awry but that doesn’t seem to be the case today. A few years after I became the alpha, I decided that I needed more allies than enemies and I decided to find them. And for Jaxon to come with such a few representatives, mostly business officials, maybe he is having the same thoughts as me. This will make our meeting go smoother. Crewwood has a lot of material resources that makes them one of the richest packs in our country
LyraShe shrugged. “Who knows? Maybe he has finally decided to open his heart to love again. Although why he would pick you is strange.”“Why do you say that?”“He should know that you are already mated. Definitely you are not thinking of leaving your mate for him.”“No. And I told him so. I just hope I haven’t hurt him too much by rejecting him now that he has finally decided to love again.” Calista’s eyes softened, and she nodded. “I think Luke has always kept a piece of himself reserved, not wanting to trust anyone completely. But maybe, just maybe, he saw something in you, Lyra. Something that made him believe it was safe to open up. I’m not saying he was right to confess to you, but I think he’s been carrying that weight for a long time.”I swallowed hard, the lump in my throat growing. “He’s been carrying it alone. And I can’t be the one to fix him. I can’t be the one to heal those wounds.”“You don’t have to,” Calista said gently, reaching across the table and placing her hand
As if that was not enough, she still had a soft, cashmere cardigan draped over her shoulders, the pale beige color further emphasizing the soft opulence of her ensemble. She was carrying a small, structured handbag, probably designers since everything else she is wearing is designers. Its sleek features and pink color was designed to make a powerful statement. Then her accessories are all gold, from her earrings to the rings that glitter subtly on her fingers. Every piece of her outfit oozes wealth and refinement. She doesn’t need to shout about it; her clothing speaks volumes, subtly hinting that she knows exactly what she’s doing. You will think this woman is going to a ball dance at a palace and not coming for a casual visit to her Luna. She flings her long, wavy her at Calista as she gets closer to her.“I heard you were in the kitchen so I decided to come here and see you,” the woman said.“Hello Sylvia,” Calista said, with no expression on her face. It was clear that she is n
“Good. Now you need to call your nanny to carry Leo, so you will have time to dance with your man. You need to show off that slit more and show that b*tch that you are in charge.”I smiled but I agreed with her. I haven’t really shown my husband my beautiful outfit so I looked towards the nanny and motioned for her to come. She came and carried Leo while I continued chatting with Denise. Soon Damien rejoined us.“You look lovely Denise,” he complimented his sister.***Damien’s povWhile I greeted the guest I saw Luke and his warriors and I went to them and thanked them specially for all they have for my wife and I. I also thanked them for staying for the ceremony and wished them safe travels tomorrow.I clasped Luke by the shoulder and took him a little way out from his people.“I hear that you are my sister’s mate.” “Yes, Damien. I just found out too and as you can imagine I am just as surprised.”“But I hear you are already making plans.” I looked dead in the eyes.He didn’t cower
Lyra’s pov“So I called you here to celebrate,” my husband continued talking. “Celebrate with us, celebrate with my family, celebrate with our pack as the goddess has blessed us greatly. No matter the worries or challenges we may encounter in our country, we are not consumed. Rather, we have been winning and will keep winning. I urge you all to enjoy yourselves tonight, as there is a lot to eat and drink.”The crowd erupted in joy and happiness as the cheers and clappings got louder. I’m glad our people are happy to be here and are receiving this news with joy. I was a little apprehensive that many of them may wonder why we hid the news of my return and rather prepared a feast to reveal. But it seems I have nothing to worry about at all as they don’t mind at all. Damien raised his hands, and they quieted down.“You will all agree with me that our goddess has been blessed, and it is evident in the good news we are celebrating today,” he said, pointing at me and Leo.A ripple of agreeme
Damien’s povThe soft hum of classical music greeted me as I entered the grand hall, my polished shoes clicking against the marble floor. The lightning decorations above bathed the environment in a warm golden glow, casting delicate patterns on the grounds. Guests were scattered throughout, sipping on champagne and mingling in groups. Everyone was dressed to impress, as they always were at these events.I adjusted the hem of his tailored caftan with matching pants against my skin. I scanned the room, my sharp gaze catching familiar faces. The room buzzed with excitement and curiosity—my invitation had been vague, after all. I had called it a “special celebration” without revealing the true purpose of the night. That, of course, was deliberate. Let them speculate.I looked around the venue. By this time the last of the guests were seated, the ceremonial grounds were packed. Rows upon rows of chairs stretched out before the grand dais, which was adorned with cascading white flowers and t
“I hope they checked around the area for others. Anyway, Tobias knows his job.”“Yes, he does. He said they checked thoroughly, and there was no other wolf around.“Probably stray rogues,” Rowan chuckled. “Nothing to worry about. Still, we have tight security.”My lips twitched with a ghost of a smile at Rowan’s words. Rogues are already considered stray wolves as they have an allegiance or loyalty to any pack. So he calls these ones stray rogues, and it's just him having a run of words.“You used the elite warriors we trained for security tonight, right?” I asked for another confirmation from him. I’m sure he will understand why I am asking for reassurance. This note might be nothing, or it might mean something huge.He nodded. “Like we planned. This place is highly secured.”“However, tell our warriors to be on alert, as we don’t want any surprises.”“Sure, alpha,” Rowan said and pointed at me. “Now you need to go and dress up. You will soon be called for your address.”I slapped hi
She’d said she was happy, and I believed her, but something about the timing felt off. Why now? Why did she seem so eager to leave the packhouse and follow him back to his territory? I shook my head. Maybe I’m overthinking this.I shook off the thought, forcing my focus back to the task at hand. I didn’t have the luxury of distraction tonight.“Alpha Damien,” a familiar voice called out, pulling me from my reverie. I turned to see Tobias, my Gamma, approaching with a grim expression. Tobias was tall and broad, with a sharp, no-nonsense demeanor that made him indispensable to me and this pack.“What is it?” I asked, my voice low.“There’s been... a situation,” Tobias said, lowering his voice further. “One of the scouts reported movement near the northern border. It might be a rogue.”My jaw tightened, my instincts sharpening instantly. Rogues. They were a persistent problem, always testing the boundaries, looking for weak points to exploit. Normally, they wouldn’t dare approach on a n
“I want you to be happy, Denise. But I need to know you're not rushing into something because it feels right at the moment. Luke might be a good man, but remember, a mate bond isn’t just about feelings. It’s about trust and understanding as you would be getting married soon.”“I know, I know,” she replied, her voice slightly exasperated but still gentle. “I’m not a child anymore, Damien. I can make my own decisions.”I smirked, my protective instincts easing for a moment. “Of course, you're an adult now. But I’ll always be your brother, and I’ll always look out for you.”I paused, watching her for a moment. My heart softened as I realized just how much she had grown up in the past few years, though my protective instincts still ran deep. She is not the same young lady I sent to the human world to school.“Are you happy, though?” I asked softly.She met my gaze and smiled. “Yes. I am. I didn’t think it was possible to feel like this with anyone, but he makes me feel safe. I think that’
I left his hand as soon as we got close to the doors. I wouldn’t want them to see me with my hands in his for now. When we are properly introduced, then I can hold his hand all I want. Luke seemed to agree as he just smiled at me. The moment Luke pushed the doors open, the room erupted into cheers.“Beta Luke!” one of the men shouted, his voice booming. Several others surged forward, clapping Luke on the back and shaking his hand. Their joy was palpable, and it warmed something deep inside me to see how much they respected him.“It’s good to see all of you,” Luke said, his voice carrying over the noise. He raised a hand to quiet them, and the room fell silent almost instantly. “I know there’s been a lot of confusion, but I want to assure you that everything is resolved. What happened was a misunderstanding, and it’s been handled.”The men exchanged glances, nodding in approval.“What about back home, Beta?” one of them asked. “Is everything secure there?”Luke smiled faintly. “I’ve he
“But I can assure them of his release, too. I can even take one of them back to the dungeon to prove it to them if that’s what it takes.”“I still think it's a bad idea, Lyra. The guests have started arriving,” he said, releasing my arm. Then he nodded towards the crowd outside. “I saw your father’s assistant as I was coming in just now.”“Oh. We wouldn’t want him seeing me now and trying something so soon.”“Exactly,” Rowan said, nodding his head as we were all on board with the plan.I sighed. “I think you are right. Find Luke and tell him his men need him.”“Sure, Luna,” he said, smiling.I decided to head inside my room, our room and start getting ready for the event. As Rowan said, the guests have started arriving, and the event will start soon. I need to dress up and also make sure that Leo is ready.I turned back and headed upstairs. I wonder what sort of clothing I should put on. I need something that would pass a message without being shouting or showy, something that would
I loved having him big and hot inside of my sopping wet hole. I love the feeling. I wanted to cum already, and I started to ride him faster and harder. I moaned his name out loud as I pointed towards my climax. His hands squeezed my nipples hard to bring me even more pleasure before sliding downwards to hold my hips.Damien started thrusting his hips up to meet me midway to bury his cock even deeper inside with each thrust. He was thrusting so fast and hard compared to my own previous thrusting rhythm. It felt so hot.“Does it feel good? You’re squeezing me so tightly down there,” Damien whispered in my ear while pounding his heat into me harder. I hope he is not trying to get into a rut. I’m not sure I want another pup just yet.“Yes,” I answered in a whisper. I wasn’t sure he heard me, so I nodded in response and hugged his neck as I bounced up and down on his cock. I moaned and kissed him hard, grinding my tongue against his as I ground my hips and pussy wall against his cock. My
