Sebastian sighed heavily, feeling the weight of his decision settle over him like a heavy cloak. He knew that agreeing to take on the role of Alpha meant sacrificing his own desires and ambitions. He just couldn’t stand by and watch the pack suffer under incompetent leadership, no matter how reluctant he was.As he turned to leave the study, Seth’s voice stopped him in his tracks. “Sebastian, there is something you need to know.”, Seth said, his voice grave.Sebastian turned back to face his grandfather, and a sense of apprehension gnawed in his gut. “What is it, granddad?”Seth hesitated for a moment before speaking. “Your Beta, Adam… he’s been challenging my authority, always questioning my decisions. He is trouble is you ask me.”Sebastian’s eyes narrowed in disbelief. “Adam? But why? He’s always been loyal to you.”Seth shook his head, his expression pained. “I don’t know, Sebastian. But whatever his reasons, he’s become a threat to the stability of the pack. I need you to be prep
Enora’s heart raced with anticipation as she drove towards the pack grounds, her mind buzzing with excitement at the prospect of finally being allowed to visit and to meet with Seth and Clovis. She couldn’t wait to see what it was like in one of those close-knit communities.She looked at Google Maps and saw that she should be almost there, though there was nothing that was telling her that she was near civilization. There were all dense forests around her. And then she felt her car lurch suddenly, the engine sputtering before coming to a complete stop. Panic surged through her veins as she realized she was stranded in the middle of nowhere, with no idea how to fix her car, and no signal on her phone.Enora was in despair when she finally saw a car approaching her. She got out immediately and started to wave towards the driver, hoping that he would get the message and would pull over. Fingers crossed that it wasn’t some creep!“Hello, do you need help?”, she heard before the man got o
Enora was excited as she stepped out of the sleek black limousine, curtesy of Natalie, with her friends Sophia, Lisa, and Levi. They were all dressed to the nines, ready to attend one of the exclusive events hosted by one of Enora’s colleagues. It had been a while since they had all been able to spend time together, and Enora was looking forward to catching up and having a good time. As they made their way through the bustling crowd towards the entrance of the venue, Enora couldn’t help but feel a sense of anticipation building in the air. The event promised to be lavish and extravagant, with all the glitz and glamour befitting a high-profile affair. Once inside, Enora and her friends mingled with the other guests, sipping cocktails, and enjoying the luxurious surroundings. The party was in full swing, with music pumping and laughter filling the air. Sophia pulled Enora with her to the dance floor, both happy to let their hair down for a night and to shake off the stress from a wee
As the pulsating beat of the music filled the air, Sebastian navigated through the crowded dance floor. His eyes fixated on Enora as she swayed to the rhythm of the music. She had an intoxicating grace and was a vision of sensuality that he couldn’t let go. After gulping down the last of several whiskeys, he slammed the empty glass on the bar. With a predatory glint in his eyes, Sebastian closed the distance between them and pulled Enora into his arms, his hand trailing possessively over her curves as they moved together in a sensual dance. The heat between them was palpable, their bodies moving in perfect harmony as they surrendered to the intoxicating rhythm of the music. But just as the passion between them threatened to ignite, Lucas appeared. His grey eyes were dark and stormy with desire, he was pulled towards both his mates on the dance floor. His own thoughts were scaring him, but the mate bond was controlling him now. He swept Enora away from Sebastian’s embrace, and Enora
Enora had sought refuge in the anonymity of the gym’s self-defence class, hoping that the physical exertion would provide a temporary escape from the emotional turmoil that had consumed her since the events of the night of the event. Several days had passed, but she couldn’t get over the fact that she had let herself go like that. It was so unlike her! Enora felt embarrassed at what she did and what she let Lucas and Sebastian do to her. The attraction she felt towards both was strong, but still, it wasn’t in her personality to get off in public, with two men nonetheless! Shaking the thoughts off, she moved through the motions with determination, the repetitive drills offering a momentary reprieve from the whirlwind of conflicting emotions raging within her. She had gone out of her way to find a class that wasn’t taught by Lucas, in order to avoid seeing him. As she sparred with her partner, Enora found herself channeling her frustrations into each strike, the rhythmic movements he
The journey to the pack grounds was a somber one for Sebastian, his mind preoccupied with the weight of the responsibilities that awaited him. Seth had summoned him, and he didn’t like it one bit. As he approached the familiar territory, Sebastian couldn’t shake the feeling of unease. The dense forest looked daunting instead of its usual comfort.Meanwhile, Lucas was making the same way towards the pack grounds, unaware of what and who was awaiting him. Seth had summoned him, and his grandfather, Clovis, had begged him to obey and come down.Lucas raced down to the mansion where his grandfather’s office was, and his brakes screeched as he halted in front of the door. Lucas took a deep breath before pushing the heavy oak door open, the familiar scent of cedar and leather greeting him as he stepped into the dimly lit office. Clovis sat behind the ornate desk, his expression tense and weary, as if he carried the weight of the world on his shoulders.“Lucas.”, Clovis greeted him sounding
After the tumultuous day they had, Sebastian, Adam and Lucas found themselves sitting together in the kitchen of the mansion. They just had dinner in complete silence, because all of them were lost in their own thoughts. The air was heavy with anticipation as they prepared themselves for the conversations to be had. Conversations that required them to be honest and vulnerable.Sebastian, even the diplomat, took the lead, his piercing blue eyes fixed on his companions with unwavering determination. “Gentlemen.”, he began, “we need to talk about many things. Let’s start with the easy, I need more drinks to discuss the hard.”Lucas snickered. “Is anything easy?”“Well no, but let’s compare stories of the past first. I think our grandparents told us different things.”, Sebastian said. He looked at Adam. “Can you share, you might know most?”, he asked him. Adam nodded, and he took a big gulp of his bottle of beer.“The war was started out of petty greed from Seth. He was Alpha of a differe
As the first light of dawn filtered through the windows of the cabin, Sebastian stirred from his slumber, blinking away the remnants of sleep. He shifted on the couch, his body stiff and sore from the night before. Turning his head, he found himself face to face with Lucas, who was still asleep beside him. For a moment, Sebastian’s heart clenched with uncertainty as he gazed at Lucas’ peaceful expression. He had woken up tangled together with another man, his mind still reeling from the intensity of their shared passion. Despite the pleasure they had experienced together, a nagging doubt gnawed at the edges of Sebastian’s consciousness.With a heavy sigh, Sebastian carefully extricated himself from Lucas’ embrace, his movements slow and deliberate as he tried to make as little noise as possible. He stood up from the couch, his mind racing with conflicting emotions as he tried to make sense of the events of the previous night. As he made his way to the door, Sebastian glanced back at L
As the days drew closer to the much-anticipated celebrations in the Moonlit pack, Enora found herself back on the pack grounds, immersed in a whirlwind of final preparations. She had wanted to come back here early, because she knew there was still a lot to do before the place would look as she had envisioned it.She had expected there to be a buzz in the air of excitement, but there was nothing. The community continued to do as they always did, and nothing hinted at celebrations that were happening in a couple of days. Enora found it strange and decided to pay a visit to Grace.She knocked on the door and heard a reply coming from inside the house.“Grace?”, Enora asked as she stepped inside tentatively.“Yes, my dear?”, Grace answered, as always coming from the kitchen, wiping her hands on a towel. “Enora! Good to see you again, my child.”Enora was enveloped in a big hug from the smaller woman, but it made her
Leonora hung up the phone with her daughter quite suddenly. She had heard enough for all the dots to be connected in her mind, and she hurried outside to find her husband.“Elio?”, she asked loudly. He came out into her view wiping his hands on some cloth.“Yes, what’s wrong dear?”, he asked, confused by the panic he saw in his wife’s eyes.“It’s Enora… Her work, the event… Moonlit.”, Leonora tried to get out, but she was hyperventilating out of fear for her daughter. Elio tried to calm her down and walked her back to the house to get a glass of water for his wife. He sat her down on a chair and knelt by her knees.“Now, tell me. What’s wrong with Enora?”, Elio asked kindly.“Last time Enora was here, she mentioned that she was feeling the mate bond, you remember?”, Leonora started. Elio nodded. “Well, she had mentioned that it was not one man, b
Enora breathed a sigh of relief as she stepped out of her car and onto the bustling streets of the city. After spending a week in the community, she welcomed the change of scenery and the familiar sights and sounds of urban life. The anonymity of the city had always been her sanctuary.Her first stop was to meet up with her friends at their favorite café. As she walked through the door, she was greeted with warm smiles and cheerful greetings. It felt good to be surrounded by familiar faces, and she quickly settled into a comfortable rhythm as they caught up on each other’s lives.Over cups of steaming coffee and plates of decadent pastries, Enora shared her recent experiences with her friends. She told them about the progress of the event planning in a close-knit community like Moonlit, and about the struggles to resist the pull of desire that seemed to grow stronger with each passing day.Her friends listened intently, offering words of comfort and
Sebastian had taken up residence in Seth’s office. He didn’t care where his grandfather would spend his last weeks as the grand Alpha, because Sebastian had forbidden Seth to do anything anymore. Even though they were waiting for the full moon for the celebrations, the change of leadership was already in effect.The office was filled with antiques and shelves stacked with leather-bound books. It was too dark for Sebastian’s liking, but it was not his priority to change right now. Instead, he focused his attention on Adam, who was reading some report. He was glowing, so surely, he had sex with Enora again.The jealousy was eating away at Sebastian, and he wanted to know. He didn’t know what exactly he wanted to know, but he wanted Enora more than anything. Yet, she continued to run away from him. Sebastian knew that Lucas wanted the same, but he had mentioned earlier that for now he was okay with being able to touch all parts of her at the gym.
Enora stepped out into the crisp morning air, the sun casting a golden glow over the community as she made her way towards Grace’s cabin. It had been a day or so since the encounter with Sebastian and Lucas, and the tension between them was transforming from hatred to desire.Even though Enora was still confused and unsure of how to handle the desire and longing she felt, she felt comfortable with it when she was out there in the community. It was like it made sense to feel all that in this place.Enora found herself wanting to skip down to Grace’s cabin. She felt good and was grateful for Adam for helping her to connect to Grace. She really knew almost everyone in the area and has been a great help so far.Knocking on the door, Enora waited patiently until Grace appeared, a warm smile lighting up her face as she greeted her.“Good morning, Enora. Come in, come in.&rdq
Enora stood at the edge of the forest, the cool breeze rustling through the leaves as she gazed out at the sprawling expanse of the community. She had tried to talk to Natalie to get reassigned, but that had been useless. Everyone in the team had shivered at the idea of having to leave the city. So, Enora was stuck with this assignment, and stuck with Sebastian, Adam, and Lucas.This time it was going to be easy to remain professional, because Enora was still livid with Sebastian and Lucas for punching Levi. There was no way she was going to give in now!Enora marched up to the mansion where the three men should be waiting for her. She was going to present her plans to them before she was going to find local suppliers to get everything she needed. Enora had really tried to get suppliers from the city to deliver out here, but no one had been willing. It had given her a headache because Enora couldn’t understand the hostility.“Well, here goes nothing!
Enora sat at her favorite café, nursing a cup of coffee as she waited for her friends Sophia and Lisa to arrive. She felt a sense of relief wash over her as she watched them approach, their familiar faces bringing a much-needed comfort in the midst of her turmoil. Work was still a great distraction. Too bad that the work that she was doing was also a constant reminder of her turmoil. Enora hoped that her friends could provide her with some perspective. “Hey Enora.”, Sophia greeted with a warm smile, sliding into the seat across from her. “How are you? You make me worry with your message.” Enora forced a smile, though the weight of her emotions threatened to crush her. “I’m so confused.”, she admitted, her voice tinged with sadness. Lisa joined them, taking a seat beside Sophia with a sympathetic expression. “We’re here for you, Enora.”, she said, reaching out to squeeze her hand in a gesture of solidarity. Enora nodded gratefully, feeling a lu
The two men crashed to the ground in a tangle of limbs, grappling with each other in a frenzy of violence. Sebastian could feel the heat of Lucas’ body pressed against his own, their breaths coming in ragged gasps as they fought for dominance.Adam tried to intervene, but Sebastian was lost in a haze of anger and desire. He wanted to hurt Lucas for disrespecting Enora, but he also wanted to feel the rush of adrenaline coursing through his veins.As the fight raged on, Sebastian became aware of another presence in the room. He turned his head to see Adam watching them with a mixture of shock and arousal, his eyes dark with desire.Without a word, Adam stepped forward and joined the fray, his body colliding with Sebastian’s in a whirlwind of passion. Sebastian could feel the heat of Adam’s skin against his own, their bodies moving in a perfect synchrony as they fought for control.The three men grappled with each other in a frenzy of desir
Sebastian stood at the window of his apartment, staring out at the city skyline as he contemplated the challenges that lay ahead. He and Lucas were preparing to move back to the pack grounds, a decision that came with its own set of complications, meaning that he now needed to find a quick way to lead his company from the pack grounds.It was a daunting task to lead both the pack and his company, but Sebastian was determined to make it work. He had begun negotiations with the leadership in his company, trying to convince them that it was a good idea. It wouldn’t be easy, but Sebastian was confident that he could make it work.Lucas had been busy interviewing potential candidates to take over his gym. It was important to him that his gym continued to thrive in his absence, and he was determined to find the right person for the job.Despite the challenges they faced, Sebastian couldn’t help but feel a sense of excitement at the prospect of returning to
