I felt like a load off his shoulders as North Bear was filed away from his mind. Luke nodded and watched Angelo leave, his stance indicating he had more news for others. Luke strode in the other direction, walking in circles when he found the tent empty. Then it didn’t take him long to locate Maya, who was scrambling with a few others to cover the area where the tropical fruits were. When she spotted him, she looked away and continued with her task, then excused herself from the group.

“Maya, wait up.”

Thunder boomed as he followed her and echoed her hastening steps. When she turned towards her tent area, he stood in her path.

“Not a good idea to stay there when there are winds tonight, and it’s just going to get worse.”

“I know how to secure a tent,” she shot back, sidestepping him. Her hands went busy as they took out ropes, but he snatched them off her grasp.

“I know you do. But we have a perfectly functional mansion and more secure spots in other areas.”

“Fine.”

    Things were fine between them, but it didn’t give him the authority to keep looking at her. It took an effort to cut the connection and look elsewhere until his gaze landed on Eric, who stood at the edge of the clearing and was agitated. He couldn’t see who Eric was talking to, and his brother ventured out before he could observe some more.“Are you on duty tonight?” Reese asked.“No.” Luke debated within. “But it doesn’t hurt to check around.”“I can help—”“No, stay here. Enjoy the night. I got this.”Reese settled in, not about to contradict the offer to relax. Luke crept out of the main hub and checked around as he had said, but it was more a sensing of things rather than actively finding some open threat. Voices flitted in his ears: the muted laughter and clinking of goblets, the quiet conversation of people just bonding. A moan in the distance signaled that not everyone was down to celebrate with the crowd, and he stifled a chuckle when the thumping of a wooden shed accompanied

    “I will have to take a rain check.”“Oh.”He heard her surprise. He watched Maya bid goodbye to Paul and leave, and the beast in him clawed.“Excuse me, Bethany. I will see you around.”He left before she could ask questions. Luke felt like he was involved in a strange, addictive dance when he found Maya minutes later, but they both remained where they were: walking the same path with a row of bushes, plants, and trees between them.“Hey,” he called out.“Hey.” Silence. “She seems to be into you.”“He seems to be into you.”“He was being friendly.”“There’s that.” He nodded. “But he’s crazy if he doesn’t even think about hitting on you.”Green eyes flared. Her breath hitched, but her gait didn’t change as she already had a direction in mind. So did he, and it didn’t take them long to reach the tent, once more set up, more isolated than ever as everyone close by was at the party. When she reached the entrance, she spun to face him, visibly jolted at how close he stood.Her throat worke

    It didn’t last long. Something had to give, and it was her who gave in first. Her hips grew more restless and her movements became more erratic. When she started bouncing, he shot up to a sitting position and helped her out, lifting her butt and pushing it down every time he thrust up. The shock on her face was blasted by desire so intense, her fingers clawed on his hair and shoulders.He took her mouth and threw himself into the delicious friction until it became unbearable. He sucked on her tongue and licked on her nipples when he was close, needing just her to anchor himself. When she pleaded with a cry, he spun them until she was on her back, knowing just what she needed. So, he gave it to her as hard as he could, pummeling it at an angle that touched her pleasure point. Maya grew wild before him, bursting into a heaving, erratic shaking before her eyes widened. At his next thrust, he swallowed the cry of release with a kiss, then moved once more until his pounding culminated into

    “Obviously,” he mused. “Reptile shifters, other aggressive clans who discovered this place. But no one lasted long, and the rest don’t know we live here. We have a lot of distraction tactics.”Just like her clan. “I bet a lot of people stumble in this area and are clueless that this community exists.”“Not a lot, but yes. Lesser now with Angelo around.”The way everyone just kept mentioning Angelo with clear-cut admiration and not a hint of fear spoke of how much he had a hold here. Yet the man she faced once or twice had been nothing but friendly, showing none of that wielded power.“Does Angelo have enough connections to protect your clan?”“Some. We don’t rely on outside sources if we can help it.”“And how many deaths have you had lately?”“Zero.” There was a long pause. “I’m sure Luke and the others will come back alive.”The quiet scrutiny had her backing off when she realized how obvious she was being. She searched for an explanation, but the younger man had returned to his boo

    “And he needs someone to watch over him.”“Maya’s got it,” Rosalia declared. “She will watch over Luke the entire night until I’m back. Every night.”Maya’s eyes widened.“Maya?” Bethany echoed, sounding offended. Maya’s back went up. “But I’m more qualified—”“No, you are not,” Rosalia cut in cheerfully. “The clan leader would like someone very close to Luke and me to watch over him, so it has been decided. Would you like to take your claim over to Angelo?”For the nth time, Angelo’s influence was wielded as Bethany grumbled but stopped trying to plead her case. They heard the huffy goodbye before footsteps faded.“That was a lie,” Maya called out. Rosalia shrugged.“It’s better than having her here while she tries to get a baby out of Luke.”“A baby?” Maya asked, horrified.“The woman keeps trying. Luke isn’t interested. She doesn’t care. She would probably try to sneak in here at night and seduce the man while he’s sleeping.” Rosalia’s lashes fluttered. “Will you be so kind as to w

    “It doesn’t hurt anymore?”“Not unless I make some sudden movements. Everything has to be slow…Maya?”She focused on untying his drawstrings and taking out his cock, which was already hard and getting harder. It pulsed when she wrapped a hand around it, the mushroom-shaped tip leaking precum. Just the sight was enough to set her body on fire, but she wouldn’t just be looking this time.“Maya?” he repeated, voice raspy and breathing erratic.“I thought you wanted me to seduce you,” she replied, glancing up. She drew back a gasp when she found molten orbs lasered on her, swimming with a multitude of emotions. Confusion. Realization. Anticipation. But the heaviest was the desire in its rawest form, craving only for her.She found she couldn’t have denied him anything he asked at that moment, but Luke was speechless. So, she lowered her head and licked his tip, then kept licking until he was so rigid. She heightened the sensation when her lips closed around him, drawing him inside her unt

    He shifted around until he was kneeling in front of her. Finally, she met his gaze.“Luke…”“She knows you wouldn’t have hurt them.”“I almost did. All because I was stuck in my nightmares. I’m always stuck in them. I can’t seem to escape them. I’m sorry for—”“Stop,” he said harshly, then plucked her off her knees and tucked her on his lap. “Stop apologizing for a tragedy you went through. Stop apologizing if you still dream about it, because anyone would.”“I keep hearing them. My husband and daughter, but my daughter most of all.”“What were their names?”“Ava. Ava and John Leonard.”Silence. He only held her closer.“You need closure. Something to ease those memories.”The suggestion sounded casual, but there was something in his tone that latched on. She looked up to find his eyes glinting with purpose.“What do you mean?”“Would you like to revisit your old clan territory?”It took multiple explanations, another meeting between Angelo and Maya, and avoiding most of the people wh

    Luke’s breath caught in his throat when he absorbed the hidden forest the cave led to, where the trees were greener and lusher than usual. But there were bald spots where they didn’t grow. Slipping in gave him the sight of more bald spots, where the charred wooden pieces and old signs of life became more visible. She stilled at the first look. Then Maya kept moving with purpose, and he followed suit, securing the place before returning to where she was.“Maya?”“The ashes were swept away by the wind or swallowed by the soil,” she mumbled, taking in the grounds. “The burned pieces…no one moved them.”There were a few huts that didn’t burn completely, so they went inside one. Here, Maya trembled until he had to soothe her back, then slide her into a comforting hug.“This was the clan leader’s hut. He insisted on keeping it equal for everyone.”“He sounds like a nice man.”“He was to us. I wasn’t close to him, but I knew he would have done anything for us.” A pause. “The other hut…it was

    "I'm not entirely sure," she replied, her voice tinged with uncertainty. "I feel torn, as if there's a part of me that's pulling away. It's not about our love, but rather a need to rediscover myself."Daniel and Alex exchanged glances, concern etched on their faces. "We love you, Millent, and we'll always be here for you," Daniel said, his voice filled with reassurance."I know, and I love you both too," she replied, her heart heavy with conflicting emotions.
