Laura POV

My ankles are submerged in mild water. The bottom of the lake is clear, and fish swim around my feet. I release a soft chuckle as they tickle my skin. My head tilts towards the sunset as it sits perfectly along the horizon.

I open my lungs and take down the fresh air. A presence behind me makes me tingle, but I’m not afraid. My head looks over my shoulder to be met with luminous eyes and long white hair. I relax.

“Laura.” She reaches out to touch my cheek.

My eyes close at the sensation that washes over my skin.

I remember her from my dream before. She came back.

“You’re here.”

When I open my eyes, she nods, and I study the pretty markings on her face. A triangle with circles glimmer across her forehead, and her eyelashes are a metallic blue.

She takes my face between her warm hands, and I exhale a breath of relief.

“Do not forget your power.”

I frown. “What power?”

“Do not forget the strength inside your soul.”

“What do you mean?”

She offers me a sweet smile. “I would neve

    Laura POV We lay back down in bed, and I rest my head on his chest. “I can’t believe I forgot. I’ve been a werewolf and shifted, and I still didn’t know.”“You lost a lot of blood and were in a coma for a few days, Laura. Don’t beat yourself up for not remembering. I think in a way, your memories come back to you when you’re ready to face them,” he admits, and I think about that for a second.He might be right. He’s always right.I stay silent as he wraps me up in his strong arms. “Sleep, baby. It’s still early. We can talk about this in the morning.”My eyes flutter shut, and I inhale the scent wafting from his neck. I smile at the way it invades my bloodstream. My senses have heightened in ways I couldn’t even imagine.Later that day, I find myself in the library with Evan and Sam close behind him, looking as bored as ever.

    **Laura POV**“You’re six weeks pregnant Luna” the pack’s doctor’s words echoed in my mind over and over again which made me smile as I rubbed my still flat tummy, admiring myself in the mirror.My heart swelled with so much joy, and I was brimming so much excitement, as I thought of the best time to break the news to my husband.“Baby,” I heard him call softly at me, and I jumped slightly in fright because I wasn't expecting him here. He smiled, his eyes flickering with emotions. He dropped off a tray of mouthwatering cookies on the bedside table, before walking towards me. I gulped, his presence always had a special effect on me.As soon as he came over to me, he engulfed me in an embrace and began peppering featherlight kisses down my neck.“How did the meeting with Alpha Xavier go today?” I moaned, closing my eyes as he began kissing my earlobe. I was almost giving in to his insanely sweet kisses, when he pulled away and pushed me to the bed.“It's too early for sex you know?” I s

    **Laura POV*I held my breath, praying that she would be my saving grace until she finally stepped into full view. Making me gulp.“Sonia!” I screamed hopefully, my hands outstretched towards her feet, I suddenly felt a ray of hope as she had walked in right on time to save me, for she was my best friend. “Please help me talk Alex out of his craziness” I said my voice feeble and brittle “ He's acting strange and I don't know why?”I couldn't move my body, whatever was in that cookie was very potent as it quickly weakened my defenses.I almost sighed out in relief when she turned to look at Alex with an angry look on her face and she said “ Why didn't you gag her? dummy” Sonia ssid spitefully, as I gasped in shock . No, Not her too!.“I didn't because, I wanted to listen to her shout for help, knowing that no one was going to come to her aid” Alex said with a smirk on his face. I clenched my stomach in pains as they both laughed hysterically, they stopped when their gaze met mine.“I w

    **Laura POV**My eyes suddenly sprung open and in shock, I slapped my hands across my entire body expecting to feel the excruciating pain from the multiple stabs, but surprisedly I felt nothing.“What is happening?” I whispered to myself, looking around the empty void i was now engulfed in. Even Alex and Sonia were nowhere to be found.“Is anyone there!?” I screamed, but my voice echoed back to me, which made me realize I was truly alone. ‘How did I get here?’ I muttered to myself. From a distance, I could hear a shuffling sound from a distance moving in my direction.And when I spun round, I saw the most beautiful female I have ever laid eyes on.She had long straight dark hair that pooled down to her back, her skin was as smooth as porcelain. Her emerald eyes glimmered in the dark and was a stark contrast to her plump red lips.One thing was quite strange about her though. She was sitting on the moon.“Hi, where am I?” I called softly, looking up at her radiant face. As soon as she c

    *Laura POV*“Hey Alpha” I heard someone call me from the crowd. I turned around only to see that it was the Beta’s son.“Hi Maxwell” I smiled. In the past, I was rude to him because of my blinded love for Alex but this time around, I paid more attention.“Wow you know my name?” he uttered in shock, biting his lower lips.“Who doesn't know Beta's son?” I blurted out. “Awww, I didn't know I was popular.” he said, with a shy look creased on his face.“I have to go now,” I said to him. “ Why so fast Laura, where are you going?” he said, reaching out to grab my hand. I halted in my tracks as he walked closer. “ I've got lots of activities to tend to. Remember I'm the pack's new Alpha.” I beamed a smile towards him.“Okay, I was worried about you, with all that has happened, you might need a friend by your side through these trying times.” His words made my heart race with excitement but I wasn't going to let my emotions get in the way of my revenge, and almost immediately, my look changed

    **Laura POV**“I don't want a mate, I want to rule my park, myself.”my voice thundered in the room as Sonia gasped rapidly.“I concur with them you know, you've already seen your mate, Alex my cousin is your mate.its unclear to me why you don't like him. Regardless of the mating bond between you two being conspicuous. He loves you and with him by your side, you'll need all the assistance you can get.” Sonia said, cupping my tender cheeks into her hands.“I don’t feel anything for him sonia. I don't feel the mate bond” I lied.“Your change is so sudden and alarming Laura” she scoffed. “ I thought you've always wanted this, why pulling out at the last minute?” she said through gritted teeth.“I can do this myself Sonia, except you no longer have fate in your best friend” I said, tapping her shoulder.“But Laura..” I cut her off abruptly.“But what sonia… You’re no different from the elders, I thought you would help me in convincing them to see reasons with me.

    Maxwell POVThe girl's eyes are wide and alert with pure anxiety. I watch as she rips her hands off the hood and darts into the woods.I hook my fingers into the door handle. “Wait!”Her knobbly knees attempt to carry her as fast as she can move. The smell of fear drips off her with every step she takes. It blends with her scent and leaves a sour taste in my mouth.The last thing I want is to scare her further, but it’s clear she needs medical attention.It doesn’t take long to catch up to her with my long legs. She’s strong, but she’s full of adrenaline and is likely using every last drop of energy. Her brunette hair is a matted mess as it cascades down her back and over her shoulders.“Please, stop,” I say gently. “I want to help you.”Her breathing hitches at the sound of my voice echoing across the trees. Somehow, her legs pick up speed, her feet dodging the roots that have overgrown and are protruding out of the ground.I managed to catch up with her, but I knew better than to tou

    Maxwell POVI twist my body slightly to face her, and Ava immediately looks past me to see the girl sitting against the tree, crying her heart out. “Oh my Goddess,” she gasps quietly. “Are you okay?”She pushes herself further into the tree, digging her heels into the dirt. I watch her mouth, but she says nothing. She flicks her eyes between Ava and Sebastian hesitantly.“Are you hurt?” Ava tries again. It’s obvious she’s injured, but making small talk is better than nothing. The presence of a woman might help her trust us.The girl shivers against the tree from the crisp night and lack of clothes on her body. “I just want to get away,” she murmurs again.“Then, let us help you,” Ava says softly. “We can get you all the help you need. You’re safe with us. You’re injured. We can help get you cleaned up, and then we can get you to wherever you need to go.”For a moment, I see her guard drop. She’s battling with herself whether she should believe us or not. I get it; trauma doesn’t go aw

    Maxwell POVAfter running Laura a luke-warm bath, I perch on the edge of the tub and study her drained face. Her skin is still on fire, despite the fact she’s shuddering as if we’re in the Antarctic. Guilt rides my chest like a wave. I’m not sure if her body is rejecting my mark because her human body isn’t strong enough to accept it. I don’t want to think about that fate.“Laura,” I whisper and caress her face.Her hand splashes into the water, and she retracts as if it’s toxic. I calm her by stroking back her hair and sending as much comfort through our bond as possible. Although, I can sense a barricade.“How are you feeling?”Laura’s eyes open, and they’re lazy, her lids almost shutting again.I examine her lips and move closer. The corners of her mouth are starting to fade into a light blue. Something is definitely wrong. Her body continues to shake, rippling the water aggressively. She wraps her arms around her legs in an attempt to keep warm.My hands reach into the bath, and

    Laura POVI’m on the brink when he speeds up, and I clamp down on his lip, desperate to fall over the edge. I’m building and building. I groan into the kiss seconds away from absolute pleasure.Then he pulls his fingers from me, and I glare at him in desperation. I hate the smirk that sits on his face. “What” I can hardly get the words out as I watch him suck on his fingers. “Max, please.”He curls a brow in my direction as he sits back on his knees, staring down at me with misty eyes. “You think I didn’t hear your little thoughts earlier today slip through our bond?”“I used my barriers,” I heave.Maxwell releases a wicked laugh that sends shivers to my toes. “Not well enough, baby.”“What did you hear?”“Most of it.”I throw my head back to the bed. I’m pooling with heat. My heart rattles so loud I’m sure he can hear it. He crawls over my body once more and kisses me with rough passion. “You tell me the fucking second I cross any boundaries. Do I make myself clear?”“Yes.”“Good,”

    Laura POVWhen I travel home later that afternoon, there’s a huge smile on my face from how fulfilled I am. My old life might be nothing but a distant memory, but Kayleigh shines above all. She’s one person I’ll never be able to forget.As the car drives through our gated community and pulls up outside Maxwell’s private entrance to the house, I hop out. I’m desperate to share everything that happened today with him and because he is my person.I wander through the front door and into the kitchen where the smell of food hypnotizes me. I’m not even hungry as we ate a few hours ago, but it smells divine.When I enter Max is standing there shirtless. My feet halt at the sight of his muscly back. He’s standing over the stove, using one hand to stir whatever he’s cooking in the frying pan. I scan his skin as the muscles contract and relax with each subtle movement. My lips part, and I’m certain I start drooling.I had no idea I had a thing for backs.“Are you going to stand there and ogle

    Laura POVWe pause by a fountain and perch on the ledge as the sun beats down on us. “So, you go here with Danny, huh?”She scoffs. “No. I’ve always wanted to come here. Danny just so happened to rock up. We don’t see each other often if that’s what you think. I feel like he followed me here so he could find out information about you from me, which he did. I’m sorry. I never intended to do that.”“I know, I know,” I reassure her. “It’s fine. I don’t mind. How are your parents?”Kayleigh’s eyes drop to the pebbled floor. “They’re not together anymore.”“Oh.” I frown. “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t.”“No, they loved you. They treated you like their own. It’s okay to bring them up. They miss you so much.” Her eyes crinkle at the sides.My chest warms. “I’d love to see them soon.”“They’d love that, too.”“Are you dating anyone right now?”She’s quiet for a long moment, and I inspect her face. There is an edge of slight discomfort at the question. “No,” she whispers. “Not anymore.”“Oh, what h

    Laura POVI want to enjoy as much alone time as I can with you before we decide to start the next steps. If we agree to have any.” He smooths his thumb across the fabric on my shin.I chew on the inside of my lip. “Yeah,” I agree. “That’s true.”He takes my waist in his hands and tugs me up onto his lap. “Good because I want as much time before we have any little devils running around.”“Did you just call our unborn children ‘little devils’?” I release a soft laugh.“Sure did.” He grins.My forehead presses to his and he leaves a kiss on my lips. “Hey, so I’ve been thinking.”“About what?”I clamp my teeth down on my lip as I admire his dark blue eyes. “The next time we have sex,” I pull my head back slowly, “I want you to mark me. I want us to be mated.”Maxwell doesn’t blink, but he holds me close to him. “Laura.”“I know what you’re going to say. I’m a human, and you don’t know what will happen if you do it. But I want you to. I want to experience it. Let’s see what happens and pra

    Laura POVMaxwell had an early meeting this morning. He asked if I wanted to join, and I said I’d leave the business side of his pack to him. He wants me to be more involved and grow into my position as their Luna, but I’m still learning the ropes and need more time.Instead, I’m in the kitchen with Evan, teaching him how to cook. Sam supervises us, and it’s obvious he doesn’t want to be here from his glowering. I ignore him, but Evan’s shoulders are slightly tense.“How are you settling in?” I ask.Evan hums softly. “A lot better now. I’m finding my feet, but I’m ready to learn.”My face stretches into a grin. “Good. I’m pleased, Evan.”His hand takes hold of a large knife and slices through a bell pepper. I nod at his positioning until he slices a little too hard, and the tip of the knife swipes down his fingers.Blood trickles onto the cutting board, and he drops the knife onto the counter with a clang. He jumps back, eyes slightly horrified. “It’s alright, it’s alright,” I say ca

    Maxwell POVMy fingers take hers delicately. She shifts her hips slightly and nods. “You’re big,” she exhales as I press my mouth to her palm. “Please, just go slow.”“Of course, baby.”I stay still for a moment and allow her to get used to the feeling before I start to move. I rest down on my elbows and drag my lips across her neck, and when she melts into me, I thrust slowly. She gasps into my ear and clings onto my biceps. I pause and wait until her legs start parting further, and I smile into her neck.My hips move again and again until she brings our lips together in a fiery kiss. She moans against my tongue and sends vibrations straight down my spine until I’m clutching her face and angling it towards me so I can taste every inch of her.“Better?” I rasp as I pull out and sink back in.She nods desperately. “Better.”Then I rest my forehead down on hers. My hips move a tiny bit quicker and deeper, and I watch her face for any slight twitch of discomfort, but instead, her lips a
