Vienna's POV:The morning light crept into the room, soft and pale, but the chill it brought only made the warmth beneath the comforter more comforting. I stirred, feeling the gentle weight of bodies around me—Kai behind me, his chest pressed firmly against my back, an arm snugly draped over my waist. His legs tangled with mine, and the intimate closeness of our bodies kept me perfectly warm. I shifted slightly, my thighs brushing against Kai’s, a spark of heat igniting between my legs. The way his cock had nestled between my thighs the night before replayed in my mind, the memory making me flush with desire. The sensation of him burrowing into me, the heat of him, still lingered on my skin. A soft moan escaped my lips before I could stop it.As I shifted again, the heat building in my core caused a subtle ache, and I tried to be careful not to let any of it spill over onto Kai’s thigh, which was wedged between my legs, pressing up against me. My body betrayed me, responding to the m
Vienna's POV: Kai’s hands gripped my hips firmly, his body pressing into mine from behind, the heat of him searing against my skin. I was still trembling, my body sensitive and pulsing from the pleasure they had already given me, but neither of them was finished. Fynn’s hand cupped my jaw, tilting my face toward him as his lips captured mine in a slow, deep kiss. His tongue traced along mine, teasing, tasting, while his other hand traveled down my spine, sending a delicious shiver through me. Kai chuckled softly against my shoulder, his hands kneading the flesh of my hips. “Still so eager, even after everything,” he murmured, his voice thick with hunger. “You’re insatiable, aren’t you, our spoiled little princess?” I barely had a chance to respond before he shifted, his cock pressing against my entrance once more. My breath hitched as he teased me, sliding just the tip in before pulling back, repeating the motion over and over until I was whimpering, pushing back against him, si
Vienna's POV:It was almost midday when I finally stepped down from the master bedroom, although my body was still tingling from last night. The memory of Kai and Fynn's hands, their lips, the way they had touched and claimed me… it was enough to send a new shiver down my spine. My skin still felt sensitive to the touch, as if my body had become habituated to their touch in a way I hadn’t known was possible… like every moment that my mates were not beside me, was wasted on this world. I had taken an extra long shower, hoping to calm myself down and get these images and thoughts out of my mind. But even while standing under the cold shower, whenever my own fingers brushed against the fresh mating marks… heat pooled low in my belly again.Shaking off the craving that had started to take root again, I stepped into the massive walk in closet attached to the master bedroom. I had barely noticed anything about the room, or the mansion last night, but in the bright lights, everything fel
Vienna's POV:As soon as I saw Lola standing there, a piece of my heart that had felt missing suddenly clicked back into place. I rushed forward, my arms wrapping tightly around her before I could even think. She smelled like home… like familiarity, like the part of my life that had felt so distant over the past few weeks.After all, she was the only good thing that was related to my past and the only thing that could really hold the meaning of home for me. She didn't just carry the feeling of home, she was my only home, my only escape from the reality when everything became to heavy for me to handle… she was there for me when nobody was… and before Kai and Fynn's arrival in my life, if there was any single reason why I was alive, then it was Lola.Because if not her, then it was sure that past Vienna wouldn't have survived till now. And for that I owe her my entire life, without any single question being asked.Thinking this, I tightened the grip around her torso. While Lola hugged
Kai’s POV:A legacy is something you’re born with, something that’s etched into your existence from the moment you open your eyes. You grow up knowing that one day, the weight of it will fall onto your shoulders, and you spend your entire life preparing for that moment. But the truth is, no amount of preparation can truly ready you for the real thing.I had spent my whole life being trained for this, being molded into the perfect leader, the next Supreme Alpha. And yet, here I stood, not on that throne but beside it. Watching as my brother, Fynn, took his rightful place. It was a surreal experience, but not one I resented. If anything, I had never felt prouder of Fynn. He was the one who would truly lead our people to something better. He was the one who could shoulder this responsibility in ways that I never could.I took a deep breath, letting the weight of it settle into my bones. There was no regret, no hesitation; only the unshakable certainty that Fynn was the right choice.Th
Kai's POV:Orion stammered, his face going ghostly pale. “Wha…what? But Vienna isn’t here and—”A growl ripped from my throat before he could finish that sentence. My entire body tensed with barely restrained fury as I cut him off.“First!” I snapped, my voice echoing through the hall,“She is my mate. And in our packs, a Marking Ceremony means our souls are forever bonded. With this regard, our laws grant me the right to raise the issue on her behalf.”Orion swallowed hard, but before he could attempt another excuse, Fynn’s deep growl resonated through the chamber. “And remember,” he warned, his eyes flashing dangerously, “you better keep our Luna’s name out of your mouth, or I’ll lose this unbiased stance as well.”Orion’s gaze darted wildly around the room, searching for some sort of support, some kind of escape. He must have realized then that no one would dare to help him. No one could. He had sealed his own fate long ago.The pot of his sins was already overflowing, and he kne
Kai's POV:Fynn raised his hand, and silence fell once again. Every breath was being held in anticipation of his next command. “I believe that the price of a life can only be paid with life,” he said, his tone carrying the authority of his title. “But considering the current state of the Obsidian Pack and the fact that its previous Alpha has already been sentenced to death, Orion Belmont will get to live.” A murmur rippled through the gathered Alphas and Elders, some in agreement, others bristling at the decision. I clenched my fists, already knowing where this was going. “Especially when I myself believe that a person should get the punishment of equal intensity for his crime, I don't think a death penalty would do justice for his case, in fact I don't think any penalty that is equivalent for the murder is justified for him and when the luck is also in his favour, as per our laws.” Fynn continued, “The two highest-ranking wolves of a pack must not both be executed. One must r
Kai's POV:As soon as we entered the house, the strawberry sweet scent of our Luna was every fucking where. It wrapped around me like a drug, thick and alluring, sinking into my lungs and making my cock stir. Fuck. My fingers flexed at my sides, itching to grab her, to feel that soft mouth around me, to taste every inch of her skin. I already knew how fucking good she felt between us, how her body melted the moment we touched her… but the hunger in my heart was insatiable. Beside me, Fynn smirked knowingly, his own breathing heavier than before. He was thinking about her too. Of course, he was. How could he not, when her scent was clinging to every inch of this house like a reminder that she belonged to us? I was suddenly too eager for his plan. On the way back, Fynn had explained why he hadn’t brought Vienna with him today. He wanted to surprise her, by starting renovations at the Supreme Alpha’s palace. He wanted us the three of us to move in after the visit at the Northern
Vienna's POV: I saw Fynn's fingers scraping against the jagged rock for a fraction of a second… just enough for hope to flare up in my chest, before it was ripped away.Because in the very next second, he fell… before I could move from my place, he had fallen. Without a sound, without even a struggle, my world had shattered. My life was teetering on the edge, and then it slipped away.It wasn't just Finn that had fallen from the cliff, I felt like someone had ripped my heart into two parts and thrown one of them, by tossing it away from the cliff.For a moment everything paused in my mind, the time, the heartbeat, the tears, the scream and then everything just went boom.The scream that was building up inside me, shaking my whole body, didn't even leave my mouth. My soul was being ripped apart, and I couldn't even open my mouth to tell anyone to make it stop, to make it hurt less or to bring him back anyhow. Not a single sound.My legs gave out beneath me, and I crashed onto my kn
Kai’s POV: A roar, unlike anything I had ever heard, tore from my throat, shaking the ground under my paws. I felt bloodlust seeping into my body, soaking every fibre of my being, taking over all the anger and grief, and pain. My brother.They had pushed my brother.The other half of my soul… the one part of my heart. They pushed my Fynn… my Fynn off the cliff.Curzon barely had time to react before I was on him. My wolf lunged with the full force of my fury. He tried to dodge, but he was too slow to escape from the Grim Reaper.I sank my teeth into his neck, tasting blood as his panicked growl turned into a gurgled gasp. His paws thrashed against me, claws scraping uselessly at my fur, but I didn’t let go.I didn't let go, even as his claws sank into my shoulder, right where Fynn had been injured. I twisted my jaw, and ripped his throat out.Curzon’s lifeless body crumpled to the ground, his eyes still wide with shock.His beta howled in rage and came at me next, but I was alread
Kai’s POV: Curzon.That bloody motherfucker! Fynn had been right… he shouldn't have been trusted, because he must have been planning this for a long time. And I was right too; only for one moment, when the thought crossed my mind that it wasn't possible for any Alpha to ignore the Supreme Alpha crossing the borders of their pack.It was all his plan! I didn't know how long this bloody snake had been disguised in the form of my friend, and how long I had been feeding him with the crucial information about my life… making all of us extremely vulnerable.Because of my one mistake of trusting a traitor.The realization made my blood boil, rage snapping through me like a whip.And as I burst into the woods whether they had cornered Vienna and Fynn, the sight before me had the power to shatter me completely.Fynn… my brother was fighting alone against twelve wolves, his body already bloodied but still keeping up with their attacks. Each time they lunged, he threw them back, his strength
Vienna's POV:We were badly cornered, and Kai was not here.And on top of that it was because of my stupidity… not only that I had asked him to leave alone for the pack, and assured him that I would take Fynn with me to cheer his mood up. But I had also asked the guards to keep their distance! And now, I didn't know where they actually were. And most importantly, if this man is standing here in front of us with his men, then what is the guarantee of Kai being safe and sound?My heart missed a beat out of fear.Curzon’s laughter rang out, smooth and mocking, as he shook his head, pulling me out of my thoughts.His sharp, pale features twisted into something that might have been amusement, but the malice in his eyes said otherwise. But before he could say anything, I heard Fynn’s growl. “Stay where you already are! If you dare to take a single step towards us or even dare to take my Luna’s name from this filthy mouth of yours, I won't let you be able to do anything else.”Curzon too
Kai's POV:The moment I stepped into the Alpha’s mansion, I felt a strange sensation crawl up my spine, like something was wrong. The thought of whether or not I had made the right decision by leaving Fynn and Enna alone quickly passed through my mind before I shrugged off.It's better not to think too much about what had already happened, or else I wouldn't be able to focus on anything.Shaking my head, I looked around. The Autumn Pack had changed a lot since the last time I had seen it. Not that I had been here in person since I was fourteen, but through the letters Curzon and I had exchanged while I was in Cape Town, I had been able to build a picture of this place in my mind. And yet, I was surprised. In the ten years that had passed, the old Alpha had died, and Curzon’s father had taken over, only to rule for a few short years before an accident claimed his life. Now, Curzon sat on the throne, and the Autumn Pack had stepped away from the Supreme Alpha challenge this year, ch
Vienna's POV:Today was the day we were leaving the Hefternort pack, and I was gathering a lot of good memories in my heart from here.This is the part of my life which can be categorised as a golden period… or maybe the start of a golden period?And I can never forget anything, the happiness– neither the comfort, the love and nor that one fear that this place has given me.From the Alpha to the omegas, everyone had treated me with so much respect and affection that my heart felt full. But the shaman’s words still lingered at the back of my mind, surfacing now and then like an unwelcome shadow in the dark. Maybe, she didn’t know what she was talking about? Maybe she was just a senile old lady speaking gibberish… or an extremely sharp one, who enjoyed troubling people for no reason.Or probably, she was just telling all those things so that she could teach me how to be grateful for what I have in my life. There could be many reasons because of which she might have said all those th
Vienna's POV:A soft moan escaped me before I could stop it, and I felt his body tense against mine. Heat flared between us curling low in my stomach and spreading through my limbs.Fynn groaned, his hands gripping my waist as he pressed me back against the thick fur blanket he had laid down for our picnic. His lips moved against mine with more urgency now, like he had been holding back for too long.I gasped when he nipped my lower lip, and he took the opportunity to slip his tongue into my mouth, tasting me, teasing me. The heat between us became unbearable, like fire under my skin.“Fynn…” I breathed against his lips, my fingers threading through his dark hair.The cold air barely registered against my heated skin as Fynn’s hands slipped under my coat, spreading warmth wherever they touched. His lips were demanding now, his tongue stroking against mine, tasting me, claiming me.I whimpered as his hands moved to my waist, gripping me tighter, pulling me flush against him. The thick
Kai's POV:We were only supposed to be at the Hefternort pack for two more days, and there was still a lot of administrative work to handle. I expected Fynn to be at full efficiency, going through reports, handling negotiations, and ensuring everything was in order before we left.Instead, I found my brother and the Supreme Alpha walking towards me, a sheepish smile tugging at his lips.I raised an eyebrow, already knowing he was planning something. “What’s wrong?”“Nothing,” Fynn said quickly. “Just… today’s meetings will mostly go over things we’ve already discussed, and any final decisions we need to make can be authorized by you as the Supreme Alpha’s second-in-command.”I folded my arms. “And?”“And…” He hesitated, scratching the back of his neck. “We won’t get much time when we go back to Camden Falls, and—”I exhaled loudly, cutting him off. “Sometimes, I really wish my brother was straightforward and to the point.”Fynn blinked. “What?”I narrowed my eyes. “Why are you ramblin
Vienna's POV I stood there, frozen in place, staring at the empty space where she had been. My heart pounded, and for a long moment, I didn’t move.Her words echoed in my head.Difficulties…? Trials? Separation! Separation… she was right. Thscariest, horrifying and heart wrenching part of this prophecy she just made in front of me was separation.I had barely started my life with Kai and Fynn… why was the universe already planning to take it away?And how exactly was it going to play in my life? Was I going to get separated from them once again… but how? I thought that everyone who wanted to snatch me away from them, or didn't want me to live a happy and peaceful life was already dead or rotting in the dungeon, so how was I going to get separated from them…?And why did I have to be separated from the part of my own souls, whom I had just found. They were slowly teaching me what I had been lacking in my past, how I was supposed to breathe and live in the open air like a free human
