last update Last Updated: 2025-04-15 23:48:49

Tessa POV

His body was heavy over mine, but not in a way that crushed me - he anchored me. The way his breathing still hadn’t leveled, the heat of him still inside me… it felt like the world had stopped just for us.

Slowly, he shifted - rolling us until I was on top, tangled in the sheets, sprawled across his chest. I could feel the steady thrum of his heart beneath my palm. Strong. Steady. Ours.

My fingers trailed upward, tracing the bite mark on his shoulder. My mark.

It was dark against his golden skin - already healed over, but raw enough to make my chest clench. I did that. I’d claimed him back. And the magic in that moment still buzzed faintly under my skin.

“You keep touching me like that,” Dorian murmured, voice hoarse and low, “and I’m going to forget the part where we’re supposed to rest.”

I smiled, but didn’t stop. “Just admiring my work.”

His hand slid along my spine, slow and firm. Possessive. “You look good on me, sweetheart.”

Heat bloomed low in my belly again. “You’re

    Dorian POVShe was still curled against me when the first mindlink came through.Victor: Alpha. Not to interrupt... but it’s been nearly a full day since the challenge. The pack’s talking.I didn’t move. My arm was wrapped around Tessa’s waist, her breath warm against my chest, her fingers still tangled in my hair like she didn’t want to let go.Rylan: They know something happened. They can scent your mark on the wind, feel the shift in the bond. There are whispers. You need to speak to them. Introduce her.Tessa stirred slightly. I smoothed a hand down her spine, grounding myself before I answered.Noted. We’ll come out soon. I cut the link and let out a slow breath.She lifted her head, golden eyes blinking up at me. “What is it?”“Victor and Rylan,” I said. “They’re being polite. But the pack’s waiting.”Her gaze sharpened, lips parting slightly. I could see it - the tension creeping back in. The weight of what came next. The pack. The expectations. The title.“You’re not alone in

    Dorian POVShe was still breathless when we stepped out of the shower, cheeks flushed and eyes heavy-lidded with satisfaction. I wrapped a towel around her and pressed a kiss to her temple, then pulled on a pair of dark slacks while she lingered by the mirror, staring at the mark I’d left on her neck.Mine. In blood. In soul.But it wasn’t just about us anymore. “I have something for you,” I said, crossing the room to the armoire I never let anyone else open. Not even Rylan.Tessa turned, brows lifting slightly as I unlocked the lower drawer and revealed what I’d prepared.Three sets of clothes. Each meant something.The first was sleek, dark leather - tailored to her form, reinforced at the shoulders and waist with fine metal studs that caught the light. The top laced tightly, cut in a way that bared her throat and marked collarbone. Warrior. Untouchable. Fierce.The second was regal. A soft cream blouse with a deep neckline and embroidered cuffs, paired with a floor-length midnight

    Tessa POV The air still buzzed from Dorian’s words. His power had cracked through the grand hall like a storm, and now the pack stood silent in its wake - staring, watching, shifting. Some with awe. Some with distrust. But none dared question him. None dared question us. My fingers still tingled from the brief brush of his hand. My skin was alive with it - every nerve singing from the bond, the claiming, the echo of him still inside me. Gods, I could still feel him. Like his touch had soaked into my bones. And yet... this was real. The wariness in some of their eyes reminded me I wasn’t just a lover in his bed. I was Luna now. A symbol. A shield. A flame. Dorian’s hand returned to mine, anchoring me again as the murmurs resumed around us. “We’ll begin preparations for the vows,” he said to Rylan, who gave a short, firm nod. The room began to shift, motion returning to the gathered pack. Some left, others lingered, whispering. But Dorian kept me close as we turned from the hal

    Tessa POV Dorian’s head tilted slightly, the distant look in his eyes sharpening. Mind link. He didn’t speak, but I could feel the shift in his energy - tense, brief, then resigned. He brushed his lips against my temple and murmured, “I’ll be back in a minute,” before disappearing through the bedroom doors and down the hallway. I stood there, unsure, when Elara’s voice floated in behind me. “He hates those. Mind links, I mean.” She leaned against the doorframe, arms crossed loosely, her smile softening. “Feels like they pry into his peace.” I turned to face her. “Is it… something urgent?” She shrugged. “Maybe. Or maybe just annoying.” Then she stepped into the room and looked around. “He did all of this himself, you know. No help. No opinions. Not even mine.” I ran my hand over the velvet on the back of the armchair, still overwhelmed. “He didn’t have to-” “He needed to,” she cut in gently. “After everything… he needed something that felt like hope.” I looked at he

    I lay across his chest, the soft blanket pulled halfway over us, our skin still slick from sweat, hearts slowing in sync. His fingers traced lazy circles against the curve of my back, and I felt… whole. Like I was right where I was always meant to be.“You didn’t have to give me all this,” I murmured against his skin, the new suite still glowing around us - luxurious, filled with future and promise.“I didn’t do it for you.” His voice was low and rough, but not cold.I pulled back just enough to look at him. “No?”“I did it for us.” His eyes met mine, molten and steady. “I’m done pretending I’m something I’m not. And I’m done hiding you.”The shift in his expression was subtle - something darker threading through the light.“I want the pack to see you standing beside me. ” He brushed a strand of damp hair from my face. “And I want the Luna ceremony done within the week. Vows. Bonding with pack. Everything.”I hesitated. “Dorian… what if they don’t accept me?”He stilled, his hand paus

The air smelled like dew and pine, and something else - leather, warmth, and Dorian.He wasn’t beside me. I blinked once, then heard the soft rustle of movement in the adjoining room.“I was about to come wake you,” came his voice, smooth and deep.I turned and found him standing at the edge of the bed. He was already dressed - in black tactical pants, a form-fitting long-sleeve shirt, and that alpha confidence that clung to him like a second skin.He tossed a small bundle onto the bed.“Training gear,” he said. “You’ve got twenty minutes. Don’t keep your pack waiting, Luna.”Luna.It still hit me like a new heartbeat, equal parts fire and fear. But this time, I didn’t flinch from it.

    Tessa POV I never thought planning a mating ceremony would feel like preparing for a siege.Elara led me through the wide halls of the estate like she was commanding a unit. A clipboard in her one hand, half a dozen color-coded notes in the other, pen tucked behind her ear, and a determination that could probably break steel.“So,” she said, sweeping into one of the sunlit sitting rooms just off the eastern corridor, “we’ve got six days. That’s enough time if we don’t waste a single minute.”Three other women were already seated around the low table, parchment, swatches of fabric, and floral samples spread out between steaming cups of tea.“This is Lira,” Elara nodded toward the eldest of the women - a graceful Omega with silver-streaked hair braided down her back. “She’s head of house operations. Every moving piece of this pack’s home flows through her.”Lira inclined her head with a warm smile that didn’t quite reach her sharp eyes. “And soon, Luna, you’ll be part of that flow.”I

The light from the setting sun gilded the hard lines of his chest, the ridges of his abdomen, the dark tattoo curling around his ribs.But it was his eyes that made me stop moving. They were already on me. Already… hungry.“She didn’t frighten me,” I said, voice softer than I meant. “But she did mention a pre-ceremony dinner. That we’re hosting it.

    Tessa POV My breath caught as Dorian finally stepped back, his hand lingering a moment too long on my waist before he forced it away. His chest rose and fell with shallow, restrained breaths - like holding back the need to shift, to claim, to devour.I didn’t move. Couldn’t. My legs felt boneless beneath me, my lips swollen and tingling, skin alive with the echo of his hands.He cursed softly under his breath and scrubbed a hand down his face, voice rough. “They’ll smell you if we don’t get this under control.”My cheeks burned. “They’ll smell you too.”His mouth twitched into something like a grin, but darker - possessive. “Good.”“Dorian.”A growl, low and reluctant, rumbled from his chest before he turned away. “I know. I know. I’ll change.”He moved toward the tall closet across the room, stripping the shirt from his body as he walked. I watched, helpless, as muscle and scars and power shifted beneath skin still dusted with dirt. Kael wasn’t gone. He was pacing just beneath the

    Tessa POV The sun filtered through the high windows, casting long shadows across the suite’s stone floors. I stood barefoot on the cool surface, watching as Elara moved gracefully through the room with a tray of jewelry and dark lip stain.“You’re too calm,” I said, lips twitching.She arched a brow, tossing a look over her shoulder. “That’s because you’re panicking for the both of us.”I exhaled sharply through my nose. “Not panicking. Just… aware that I’m about to play hostess to several Alphas and their wolves in our private suite.”Elara set the tray down with a soft clink and turned to me fully, eyes gleaming. “You’ll be fine. You’re their Luna now. Time to make them see it.”She started with my hair - twisting it into a half-up style that exposed my neck but let the length spill over one shoulder. Loose enough to look effortless. Sharp enough to look dangerous. The makeup followed - subtle smudges of black along my lashes, a kiss of bronze at my cheekbones, a wine-stained mouth

    Dorian POVShe was fire beneath me.No, she was something worse. Something that burned slow and deep, something that didn’t just set flesh alight but dug into the bone. I watched her come undone, mouth parted, eyes wide, body trembling beneath my hands - and I didn’t feel triumphant.I felt addicted.Kael was clawing at the edge of my skin, barely held back. The bastard wanted out. He wanted to break her down completely, to mark every inch of her until even her scent reeked of us."Ours", he growled. "She’s ours. Take her again. Harder. She likes it."“I know,” I murmured aloud before I even realized it, my voice wrecked.She stirred beneath me, a flush high on her cheeks, her eyes dazed and liquid in the low light.Fuck.I was losing control again.Every second I spent inside her, around her, touching her - I lost another inch of discipline I’d carved into myself over years of violence, wars, loss. She unraveled it with a look. With the way she said my name like it meant something.A
