"Mine," he growls, his claws shredding my dress into pieces before tearing my panties.Suddenly, memories of how my innocence was taken away—how I was raped on the streets of New York—rush back to me.I shut my eyes tightly, trying not to tremble against him.I don’t want him to stop, and it isn’t because I’m enjoying this—I’m not. I never will. But I know what I got myself into. I know this was bound to happen, so I might as well let it and get it over with.I open my eyes and see him between my legs, licking me, but I feel nothing. Absolutely nothing. Only disgust with myself and my mind.Minutes pass, and I focus on the sky, staring blankly at the stars. Then, I feel him leave my pussy and come up to me, squeezing my breasts and licking my nipples, making them erect.He kisses my navel, then moves back to my lips. That’s when I finally react.Kissing him makes me feel different, mainly because he is my first kiss. My first real kiss. Before him, I never kissed anyone I slept with—it
"What is that supposed to mean, Alpha Kins? What are you talking about?" I ask anxiously."We can't talk here, Serene. It’s too dangerous. I can't risk my kids being taken away from me or your husband snapping my neck," he says, reaching into his pocket and pulling out a card."This is my number. Call me, and we'll arrange where to meet and talk about this, okay?" he says, and I take it, slipping it into my purse."I'll see you soon, Serene Gun," he says, giving me a sad smile before walking away."Luna Serene, Alpha wants you inside immediately," Beta Zack says behind me, startling me a little.I turn around and glare at him. "Don't ever do that again. You startled me," I snap."Sorry, Luna," he says, but I know he doesn't mean it.This Beta doesn’t have an ounce of respect for me. Then again, neither does their Alpha.I walk in with him and take a seat in the front row beside him.Minutes later, the council members arrive, and I notice the Alpha King is missing. Then again, he is bar
We stayed on the hill until dark, and I got to watch the sunset. I even took some pictures and got new ideas for my summer collection this fall."We are going on a trip," he says out of the blue, and I look at him weirdly."What? Where?" I ask."I want to see that smile on your face every day. It looks amazing on you. I haven't seen that in years. Since you left, I only tried to get that picture of your smile through Serene, but I was wrong. You may look similar, but you have different personalities," he shrugs, and I nod.For once, he isn't threatening to kill me at the mention of my sister's name. But that doesn't mean I have let my guard down. I don't trust his sudden change in behavior."Yeah, my dad used to say that a lot. So where are you planning on going?" I ask."Switzerland. My parents used to take me there when I was little. It was their little getaway. It was there that my parents fell in love, and there they conceived me," he says, and I nod.I really want to ask if he eve
Zander kisses me slowly, tenderly, and passionately, making me weak in the knees.His hands roam around my body. He removes his lips from mine and begins to kiss my neck, making me stiffen."Relax, it's only me," he whispers, and I nod.He kisses me slowly along my neck, sucking on it and making me moan.Oh my freak! I moan! I fucking moan!"Fuck, do that again," he whispers, and I do."That is the sexiest thing ever," he murmurs and carries me to the bed."Have you ever touched yourself before?" he whispers against my lips."Yeah, when I was 15," I tell him, biting my lip."And who did you imagine when you came?" he asks with a smirk, as if he already knows the answer."You," I whisper, and he smiles genuinely."If you have, then open your legs and show me," he whispers, kissing my cheeks, then my lips.My elbows can barely hold me up anymore from how much they’re shaking, how much my body is tingling from his words and the command in them.But I’m helpless in front of that dominance.
The Next MorningI wake up with my head resting on a hard surface.I groan. Why is my pillow so hard?I mumble something incoherent when I feel a hand tracing up and down my spine.A deep chuckle sounds above me, and I stiffen slightly.Suddenly, memories of what happened yesterday into this morning flooded my mind.Fuck! We didn’t stop until this morning.I smile against his skin and raise my head to get a glimpse of his face.He’s smiling down at me softly. I take in his appearance—his hair is messy, his eyes still look tired, but there’s an unmistakable glint of lust in them."Good morning," I whisper as he pulls me closer."More like afternoon," he whispers back before kissing me softly, yet roughly.I moan into the kiss. He always finds a way to turn me into a mess with just his lips. I’m such a sucker for his kisses."Fuck! If you weren’t sore and tired, I would’ve fucked you again," he whispers against my lips, and I almost give in to the idea.But I am sore—all over, especially
Two Months Later"Thank you for meeting with me, Luna Serene. I thought you’d never use the card," he says."I didn’t want to, but I won’t be complete if I don’t know what my sister has done," I told him.We are sitting at a café outside the pack, on a little abandoned roadside."Did anyone see you coming here?" he asks, still looking around like a creep."No, I told my husband I was going to a meeting with my new workers," I replied.Zander and I have grown much closer over the past few months, and now, I think he trusts me a little more.I can’t believe it has almost been a year since I came back. Though I miss my life in London, I love it here now.And with this little being growing inside me, I couldn’t be happier. It’s true—there is always light at the end of the tunnel.I gently rub my cute bump, which is showing through my summer bodycon dress."Congratulations, by the way," he smiles, but it doesn’t reach his eyes."Thank you. I don’t have much time, Alpha Kins, so tell me what
Flashback"I can't run away with Kins. I'm already getting married to Alpha Zander. The wedding is happening after my birthday party," she tells him."But I love you. I am your mate. Don't you love me?" he asks brokenly."I love you, Matt. I love you so much, but I can't because I also love Zander just as much as I love you," she cries."You can't say that to me. Can't you see you're hurting me—hurting us?" he sobs."You wouldn't understand what I'm feeling right now," she says."Then make me understand, Crys. Make it make sense to me because I'm not giving up on you," he begs."Please, just bear with me, okay? Can you do something for me—make my wish come true?" she asks, and Matt nods. At this moment, he's willing to do anything just to be with her."Anything, mi amore. Anything," he whispers against her lips."Take my virginity. I want to feel everything a woman feels with her true mate. Please, don't deny me this wish," she pleads, and Kins immediately crashes his lips against hers
"I am so glad I can be of help to you Alpha and Luna. What seems to be the problem" the doctor says as I sit on the bed."Thanks for seeing us on this short notice but I have been spotting since morning and I am scared something has happened to our baby"I say worriedly." Okay. Can you lay down and raise your top a little bit"she says and I do the same." This is going to be cold. I am going to rub the gel on your bump" she explains and I nod.Zander holds my hands tenderly and squeezes it a bit,he has been more worried about this more than I am.She places the doppler on my stomach and the image begins to appear on the small screen."Okay it looks like everything is fine. The spotting is just normal" she says still moving it around my bump."Can ....we know the gender yet?" Zander asks."It is too early to know but you can hear the heart beat for the first time" she says and seconds later we can hear the fastest heartbeat ever."Baby is fine, nothing to worry about" she says but I am
The grand hall of the packhouse was alive with warmth and celebration. Today marked fifteen years since Ruine and I had joined our lives together, and there was no better way to celebrate than with the people we loved most—our family. The space was beautifully decorated with golden and silver lights, symbolizing the strength and endurance of our bond.At the center of it all stood Ruine, his sharp golden eyes softened by joy as he laughed with Cole and Nikolai, both of whom had grown into strong, confident men. My heart swelled as I looked around the room. Our triplets—now nineteen—were standing together, sharing a quiet moment of laughter. They were no longer the mischievous children who used to run through the halls causing chaos but were on the cusp of full adulthood, strong and independent.Lilac, Ruine’s daughter from his first marriage, was beside me, holding a glass of wine as she watched her five children chase after my grandkids. She had married Ruine’s Beta and best friend, a
The summer sun kissed the rolling vineyards of Bordeaux as we arrived at our private villa in France. The air smelled of lavender and fresh bread, a scent that instantly made me feel at home. It had been years since our last big family vacation, and now that the kids were teenagers, this trip was bound to be different. Gone were the days of carrying them around on our hips; now, we were dealing with independent, opinionated young adults who still had that mischievous spark in their eyes."This place is sick!" Cole exclaimed, dropping his bag the second we stepped inside. He was already looking around for the best room, and I had no doubt he and Nikolai would argue over it.Kiara, on the other hand, was more composed. "It's beautiful," she murmured, running her fingers over the intricate wood carvings on the staircase. "I can't wait to see the gardens."Ruine chuckled behind me. "You two get your pick of rooms—just not the master. That’s ours."Cole groaned while Nikolai smirked. "First
The sun dipped below the horizon, casting an amber glow over the modernized expanse of Gold Sun Pack. The pack’s main hall buzzed with energy, wolves of all ranks moving through the grand space as they discussed recent events. Tonight was special—not just because the pack had grown stronger, but because it marked two pivotal moments in the lives of Casma and Ruine’s sons, Cole and Nikolai.Cole had always been the dreamer among the triplets, the one who found beauty in everything. But tonight, something shifted within him. It had started the moment he locked eyes with the mysterious stranger standing near the training grounds. She was unlike any wolf he had ever seen—because she wasn’t one at all. The unmistakable scent of magic clung to her, mixing with the crisp night air, making the hair on the back of his neck stand on end.A witch.The realization should have made him step back, should have triggered the instincts every werewolf was born with. But instead, he stood rooted to the s
It was supposed to be a normal day. The morning had started with the usual chaos of raising three teenagers. Nikolai and Cole were arguing over who had taken the last protein bar, and Kiara had been in her room, unusually quiet. I’d noticed she skipped breakfast, which was unlike her. Usually, she was the one dragging her brothers to the table, making sure they ate something before training with Ruine.The moment I heard a timid knock on my office door, I knew something was wrong. When I opened it, Kiara stood there, shifting uncomfortably from one foot to the other. Her usually confident expression was hesitant, and her hazel eyes darted everywhere except at me."Mom… can we talk?" she asked in a voice that was barely above a whisper.I immediately stepped aside, pulling her into the room and closing the door behind her. "Of course, sweetheart. What’s wrong?"She hesitated for a moment before finally sighing and looking up at me. "I think something’s wrong with me."Panic shot through
The day had finally arrived.Fourteen years ago, I had endured the most painful yet rewarding experience of my life—bringing Kiara, Nikolai, and Cole into this world. Now, as I stood outside in the open training grounds of the Gold Sun Pack, watching my children prepare for their first shift, I felt a strange mixture of pride, excitement, and unease. This was a monumental moment, a rite of passage for every werewolf, and yet I couldn’t shake the maternal instinct that wanted to shield them from the inevitable pain.The sky was painted in deep hues of orange and pink as the sun dipped below the horizon. Ruine stood beside me, his Alpha presence as commanding as ever, though his features softened when he looked at our children. He had spent the last year preparing them for this moment—ensuring they were mentally and physically ready to shift. Shifting for the first time wasn’t just a transformation; it was a rebirth.“You’re ready,” Ruine said firmly, his deep voice resonating across the
The morning started like any other—chaotic yet filled with love. The triplets, now eleven years old, were in the middle of their werewolf changes, which meant heightened senses, mood swings, and an insatiable hunger that rivaled a full-grown wolf. Living in the Gold Sun Pack had its advantages—modern facilities, excellent schools, and a strong support system—but nothing quite prepared me for raising three preteens going through their transformation simultaneously.I sighed as I entered the kitchen, already knowing what awaited me. Nikolai and Cole were engaged in a playful scuffle near the breakfast bar, while Kiara sat at the table, scowling at the milk in her cereal as if it had personally offended her.“Boys, do not break anything,” I warned, walking past them to pour myself a much-needed cup of coffee.“They started it!” Kiara huffed, pushing her bowl away. “I can hear them chewing, and it’s disgusting.”I took a deep breath. Enhanced hearing was one of the earliest signs of their
The air was thick with anticipation as we arrived at the Blood Moon Pack’s grand estate, the towering castle-like structure bathed in the golden glow of the setting sun. It had been years since I had stepped foot here, and despite the changes, the essence of the pack remained the same—strong, proud, and unyielding. But tonight was different. Tonight, we weren’t just visitors; we were here to witness my son, Tyral Dores, ascend as the new Alpha.The moment we stepped out of the sleek black SUV, a hush fell over the gathered pack members. They watched with reverence as Ruine and I made our way toward the ceremonial grounds, our five-year-old triplets—Nikolai, Kiara, and Cole—tugging excitedly at our hands. It wasn’t every day they got to visit their older brother’s pack, and they were eager to be part of such a grand occasion.Lilac walked beside us, her presence a silent strength. My stepdaughter had been a pillar in our family, and though she had suffered her share of loss, tonight, sh
The grand hall of the Blood Moon Pack was alive with excitement. The towering stone walls, adorned with the banners of past Alphas, stood as a testament to the strength and legacy of this pack. Tonight, the pack gathered to witness the coronation of its next Alpha—Tyral McLean, my firstborn son.It felt like just yesterday when I had held him in my arms as a newborn, vowing to protect him from all harm. Now, at twenty-four, he stood tall and proud, the embodiment of strength, wisdom, and leadership. By his side was his mate, Billy, the love of his life since childhood, and the mother of his four children. Their eldest, Kai, was already beginning to show signs of being a great warrior, his keen instincts mirroring his father’s at the same age.I stood beside Ruine, who held my hand as we watched our son prepare for the ceremony. Our triplets—Kiara, Nikolai, and Cole—stood nearby, their five-year-old faces filled with excitement and curiosity. Rhynara, now a young woman, watched with adm
The grand gates of the Gold Sun Pack stood tall and imposing, their intricate golden engravings gleaming under the midday sun. As our convoy approached, a wave of anticipation rolled through me. It had been years since I last set foot on pack territory, and now, I was returning not just as Ruine’s mate, but as his Luna, with our children in tow.Ruine, ever the picture of calm authority, sat beside me in the car, his sharp golden eyes scanning the familiar landscape. Even though he had left much of the day-to-day affairs to his Beta, his presence here was monumental. Today was a day of celebration, a day to introduce our children to the pack and to name our son, Nikolai, as the future Alpha of the Gold Sun Pack.The triplets—Nikolai, Kiara, and Cole—sat in the back, their eyes wide with wonder. This was their first time visiting their father’s pack, and though they had grown up hearing stories of it, seeing it firsthand was something entirely different.As we entered the main pack terr
