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 was lost in my dream, floating somewhere between reality and fantasy. Kai and Fynn were there with me, in the beautiful floral garden, roaming in the lake. But the dream toom a sudden turn. They turned towards me, and there I was… on the soft grass, with their hands caressing me, their bodies pressing against mine, heat seeping into my skin. Their mouths teased, kissed, tasted, and I couldn't stop the wetness from pooling between my thighs. It was intoxicating, the feeling of them surrounding me, claiming me, devouring me, until suddenly, something shifted. The dream felt too real. A whisper of breath against my throat. The delicious weight of a body on either side of me. And then… a touch. A sharp jolt of pleasure tore through me, yanking me from the dream’s haze, and my eyes flew open. Two hungry pairs of eyes stared down at me. They were here, they were really here. Kai smirked, his voice a deep, teasing rumble. “Our Luna was having a lovely dream
Vienna's POV:Fynn groaned, his hands tightening in my hair as he looked down at me, his eyes filled with pure lust. “You want my cock in your mouth that badly, sweetheart?” He murmured, raising an eyebrow. I nodded eagerly, my tongue darting out to wet my lips as I continued stroking him over his pants. “Yes…”I whispered, my voice breathy and desperate.“I don't just want it, I need it.” “Damn that mouth of yours.” Fynn cursed under his breath, the ropes of his control snapping right before my eyes. Kai chuckled, his hot mouth still working my clit, his fingers pumping deeper inside me. “She is such a needy little thing, isn’t she?” He teased, his voice sending another wave of pleasure crashing through me. Fynn smirked, one hand slipping beneath my chin, tilting my face up to meet his gaze. “Then be a good girl and take me in.”He commanded, and my hands moved instantly, my fingers making quick work of his belt and zipper, pushing his pants and boxers down to free his coc
Vienna's POV:The journey to the Northern Pack was long, stretching over three nights, and it was only after we left Camden Falls that I realized something… I had never truly left for somewhere before. My entire life had been confined within the borders of the Obsidian pack, my world no larger than the streets I walked every day. And some days I wasn't even allowed to walk on those streets either, as I was ordered to stay inside the tiny dingy room which could easily be considered as a dungeon…but was known as my room for official purposes. But I never felt the need to roam or see the beauty of the world either, I had been too busy surviving to even dream of stepping beyond the limits of Camden Falls. But now, everything was different. I was having fun. More fun than I ever thought possible… a starving person can only dream about what a bowl filled with food would taste… but now, I had been made aware of large orchards filled with sweet fruits, where there is no limit for how muc
Vienna's POV:The wedding ceremony was being held on a moonless night. Unlike Camden Falls, where ceremonies were bathed in the moon’s silver glow, the Northern Pack believed that on such nights, the Moon Goddess took her leave from the sky to walk among her children. It was a beautiful thought—one that filled my heart with warmth, as did my reflection in the polished bronze mirror before me. I was dressed in a red silk gown, the fabric as smooth as water against my skin. The bodice clung to me, fitted perfectly with intricate gold embroidery tracing patterns like flames licking upward. The sleeves were sheer, flowing like gossamer with every movement, delicate as a whisper. Around my waist, a golden chain belt sat, tiny charms dangling from it, chiming softly with each step. My veil, also red, was long and heavy, edged with golden lace, cascading down my back like liquid fire. My hair had been woven into an elaborate style, thick braids coiling into a crown before tumbling down m
Vienna's POV:The howls of the pack still echoed in the air as the shaman stepped forward once more, raising her staff high. The wooden shaft was adorned with decorative carvings, glowing faintly under the flickering lanterns.“The bond is forged!”She declared,“Three souls have become one. Their fates are bound, their spirits entwined. From this night forth, let none challenge what the Moon Goddess has decreed!”She paused for a moment, before she continued her sentence;“Because this bond is chosen by Moon goddess herself, and whoever would tries to go against this bond or even think about breaking this bond would have to face her wrath. This type of bond is formed in centuries, and after the fulfillment of the perfect scale of the purest soul, who is ready to take birth in this impure world! So I request all of you to join in their happiness and feel grateful that the Moon Goddess has found us worthy to witness this divine union.”I was hearing her words carefully, trying to beli
Kai's POV:Vienna was boneless between us, her breathing shallow and uneven, tiny shivers running down her body even though the room was warm.I cupped her cheeks gently, tipping her face toward mine."You okay, little flame?" I asked softly, my voice barely more than a whisper.She gave the faintest nod, her lips parted, eyes glassy with exhaustion and leftover tears. "Mhm... just... floating," she mumbled.Fynn chuckled low against her ear. "You were perfect, baby."He cradled her against his chest like she was something breakable, pressing soft kisses into her hair while I slid off the bed to grab a clean cloth and a bottle of water from the nightstand.When I came back, Vienna was watching me with heavy-lidded eyes, a small, sleepy smile tugging at her mouth. She looked wrecked and beautiful."Let me take care of you," I murmured, kneeling beside the bed.I cleaned her carefully, gently wiping away the mess on her stomach, moving slow enough that she could tell she was safe. She f
Kai's POV:I stared down at her, sprawled out on the bed like some fever-dream vision. Her hair mussed, lips swollen, body trembling, tears still clinging to her lashes. Our little flame, flickering between ruin and bloom.Fynn stood frozen at the foot of the bed, his fists clenched like he was fighting himself not to just take.She arched her back slightly, needy, desperate. “Please,” she whispered, voice breaking apart into shards. “Touch me... need you both.”I let my hand trail slowly up her thigh, savoring the feel of her heated skin under my palm.Fynn moved first, stripping his shirt over his head in one rough motion. My hands shook as I followed, yanking mine off too, until we were bare-chested, the marks of battle still faint on our skin, but all I could think about was her. Only her.I leaned down, brushing my mouth against her ear. “Then let us make you forget everything else but us. Let us ruin you properly.”A shudder rolled through her, and she whimpered, nodding.I
Kai's POV: The silence settled between us once again. It wasn't just exhaustion or shock anymore. It was something deeper… something raw and untamed. Beneath the numbness, I could feel it stirring like a beast roused from a long sleep.We were alive. Broken, bloodied, battered, but alive. And we were still standing together.But Vienna’s composure cracked first.A sob tore from her throat, raw and aching. She hugged herself, tears slipping down her face faster than she could wipe them away. "I don't want to lose either of you," she choked out, her voice splintering in the stillness. "Not now, not ever. You both... you're not allowed to go anywhere I can't reach. Not across barriers of time, space, or even knowledge. Do you hear me?"Her desperation hit me like a physical blow.I moved before I could think, stepping toward her slowly, giving her the chance to pull away if she needed to. But she didn’t. She leaned into Fynn’s touch first, and then into mine when I reached out, her bo
Fynn's POV: The celebrations around us grew louder and louder, drowning out even the pounding of my heart.The Oasis pack soldiers, bloodied and broken, scattered and retreated into the forests. Their defeat was clear, and in the absence of Axel they wouldn’t dare to return. Or even turn towards the Azuremist pack again. Victory belonged to us tonight, and the air was being pierced with the sound of cheers, howls, and the chanting of Long live the Alpha! Long live the Luna! Long live the Azuremist pack!Around me, Vienna, Kai, and I kept stealing glances at each other; confused and stunned. None of us could find the right words. We tried to smile, to look strong for our people, but there was a hollow kind of disbelief in our eyes. How had we survived this? How had Zeke done what no one else had even though possible?To survive after being touched by wolfsbane… there was nothing like this in the history of our kingdom. Vienna clutched Zeke close to her chest, burying her face in
Vienna's POV:I stared at my arm in disbelief.The skin was flawless, as if there had never been a cut there at all. The deep gash, the festering wound, the unbearable burning sensation—all gone. I flexed my fingers slowly, half-expecting pain to shoot up my arm, but there was nothing. Just smooth skin and a faint lingering warmth that faded with every passing second.How…?I hadn’t even noticed the burning while I was tending to Kai. I had been so focused on him, on his blood pouring out, on the sheer terror of losing him, that I hadn’t cared about anything else. But now—now it was like the wound had never existed.Before I could even form a thought, Zeke, who was still nestled against my chest, suddenly wriggled out of my hold. He slid off my lap and crawled toward Kai, who lay frighteningly still.“Dada!” Zeke sobbed, scrambling onto Kai’s blood-soaked chest. His tiny arms wrapped around Kai’s torso as he pressed his tear-streaked face into Kai’s neck. “Dada! Dada!”Fynn and I both
Vienna's POV: My heart was about to stop.Why? Why was it always like this?Every time I thought the pain was over… every time I dared to believe that the worst was behind me, the ground slipped from beneath my feet, dragging me into a deeper darkness. I had just gotten Fynn back. Just wrapped my fingers around something whole again, was I cursed to always live a life that was only half-finished? Was this my fate… to watch everything I loved get ripped away from me piece by piece?I tried to swallow my sobs, force the tears rolling down my cheeks to turn back inside, to stop betraying me. But they wouldn’t. My body shook too hard. My chest felt like it was splitting open. My heart… my entire soul was being torn apart as I stared at Kai’s motionless form.“No, no, no, look at me…” I begged, brushing his hair back from his pale forehead. My voice cracked, seeing Kai's eyes rolling back. “You’re not leaving me like this. Not now.”I pressed both palms against his wound, trying to st
Fynn’s POV:He thought I was going to spare him.Axel’s breaths came fast, ragged, as he stared into my eyes… still crouched beneath me, bloody and broken. That sick glimmer of hope danced in his gaze, but it was too late. Too much had been said. Too much had been done.You don’t threaten my family and walk away breathing. And if he hoped to manipulate me by dangling a secret like poison over my head, Axel was only proving what an idiot he was. Nothing he said would ever be enough to stop me. My jaws hovered over his neck, lips curled back, my breath ragged with fury. Every muscle in my body trembled, screaming for release. But before I could deliver the killing blow, a sharp pain tore through my left shoulder, hot and, brutal.I snarled and stumbled as fangs sunk into my flesh.Axel's Beta, Johnson.The bastard bit hard, grinding his jaw as if he could rip a chunk out of me. Pain exploded down my side, and blood oozed out between his teeth. But the pain only intensified my rage.I
Fynn's POV:I turned just in time to see the knife hit Kai.Everything in my brain went silent for a moment and I wasn't able to understand what I was feeling right now, was the pain Kai had to endure because of that knife or the fact that somehow knowingly or unknowingly, I was guilty behind everything that was happening right now.It lodged deep into his shoulder, with a force that was making his body jerk. His knees buckled slightly, but he managed to stay upright. My eyes followed the trail of blood that dripped down his back, and then I saw it—just a faint smear on the blade, but it was unmistakable. Vienna’s blood.She was also hurt.The same blade had nicked her arm moments ago, and now it was embedded in Kai. The realization hit me so hard I felt like I’d taken the knife to my own chest.My breath caught in my throat.For a second, all I could do was stare.Vienna stood a few feet away, her eyes wide, her mouth trembling, and her arm bleeding. She had risked everything to warn
Vienna's POV:“And now, I’ve returned for it!”Fynn’s voice cold, and resolute, spread through the chaos, triggering shouts in support of the Supreme Alpha. But for me, it felt like everything around me went completely still for a second… right before the storm hit. One of Axel’s guards surged forward with his blade raised, aiming straight for Fynn’s unprotected back. My heart lurched violently in my chest.No!The name tore from my throat with desperation as I bolted forward, Zeke clutched tightly in my arms.Fynn moved just in time, spinning around and catching the soldier’s arm mid-swing. Giving it a sharp twist– there was a loud crack and the guard screamed as he collapsed to the ground, writhing in pain. But another soldier was already creeping up behind Fynn, and I knew that with all his focus on Axel now. he wasn't going to see this one in time.My legs pumped faster, bare feet skimming over dirt and bloodied ground, heart thudding like thunder. Zeke held onto me with all h
