"You seem different now, away from the party," I ventured, choosing my words carefully. Lysandros's gaze remained on the water. "Events like these require a facade, a mask to wear." "But here, in this quiet moment, who are you?" He glanced at me, his eyes holding a glimmer of something deeper. "Just me." "The vampire? Heartless. Manipulative. Ruthless, yet with a hint of...something more? That kind of you?" I asked. I knew I was being courageous. Lysandros's lips quirked into a half-smile, his eyes holding surprise and amusement. "You're not one to mince words, are you?" I shrugged, feeling relieved that my words didn't upset him. "I'm here to understand, to learn." He studied me for a moment, and I met his gaze. This time his eyes were not piercing red, but blue. "Very well. Yes, I'm the vampire who has lived for centuries, and who has seen both the best and worst of humanity. I'm the one who walks the thin line between power and weakness, control and chaos." "And what abou
ANISHA "Look how I've shown the bump since the revelation," I told my mates, a small smile playing on my lips as I showed them my abdomen. Their eyes brimmed with happiness, and I could feel their emotions reflecting mine. "Pregnancy is fast in a wolf's pregnancy cycle. Since you deliberately hid it, the baby won't grow as it should. You just had it, and it's like the first month or so," Kazimir explained, his voice gentle as his fingers brushed over the slight swell of my tummy. I nodded, understanding the meaning of what he said. "Yes, I had wanted to wait until the time was right to share the surprise with you both." Kallum's eyes sparkled with warmth as he pressed a soft kiss to my forehead. "You're quite the little schemer, aren't you?" I chuckled, leaning into his touch. "I had my reasons." Kazimir's expression softened as he cupped my cheek. "We appreciate your intentions, Dollface. And we're sorry for reacting the way we did." I shook my head, my fingers interlacing wi
"We're willing to do whatever it takes to create a better world for our kind and for the humans who share this world with us." Lucian's response was firm. "Intriguing," Lysandros swept his eyes over us before fixing them on Emmett. "So, in those five years, I heard you have abstained from direct human blood, and relying on animals and blood banks was indeed true, all because of your son."Lucian's eyes shifted on Emmett across him unflinchingly. "Yes, it's true. We want to prove to him we can change."Lysandros's lips curved into a faint smile. "Impressive. It takes a great deal of discipline to resist one's primal instincts.""It hasn't been easy," Emily added. "But my son is more important to me than what your world can give us."He scoffed and his eyes turned colder."You believe that they can suppress their primal instincts then?" Lysandros's question was directed at me this time. "Yes, I do," I answered without hesitation. "Emmett is able to do it, why can't his parents or the
KAZIMIR The sun was high in the sky, casting heat over the clearing as the other pack members went about their training routines. It was a routine day, much like any other. Among them, Kallum and I sparred with each other, our movements fluid as we exchanged blows and practiced our combat techniques. After some moments of intense training, Kallum and I decided to take a break. We sat on a couple of large rocks, wiping sweat from our brows and catching our breath. The tension from Lysandros's unexpected appearance still lingered in the air, leaving us both on edge. "I don't like this, brother," Kallum muttered, eyes fixed on the horizon. "We haven't heard from him since we left his residence. It has been a month." My thoughts mirrored his concerns. "I know," I replied, frustration tingeing my tone. "It's like he's playing with us, keeping us in the dark." Kallum let out a frustrated sigh, running a hand through his hair. "And what's worse is that Anisha seems to have this st
KALLUMHappiness still pounded in my heart. We were having a girl and I couldn't wait to hold her. Imagining her tiny fingers wrapped around mine and her bright eyes peering up at me already excited me to no end. I knew she would be another version of my beautiful mate. From the way she'd crinkle her nose when she laughed to the fierce curiosity that would shine in her eyes, I knew she would be another remarkable chapter in our life. As Kazimir skillfully drove the car with finesse, I worked on my mate's mark, running my tongue over it. She gasped, and it was music to my ears. The sensation of her delicate skin beneath my lips created an aching weight in my groin. Her arousal hit me and a growl escaped my lips. My fingers moved down her neck and shoulders, tracing her curves and exploring her body. She shivered in anticipation, her breath coming in short gasps. The dress she wore gave me easy access to her skin, adding more excitement to my aching desire. I moved my hands lower,
ANISHA Kazimir joined us, turning the car into a more comfortable den where we could move comfortably. "Looks like I'm not missing out on the fun after all, " he chimed in, his voice a rich baritone that resonated with arousal. His eyes, dark and smoldering, met mine. I licked my lips. I knew that look; so hungry and dominant. I gasped, my movements stuttering as his hands found my hips, leaving me no room for restraint. My dress was pushed up, and his tongue darted out to wet his lips. I was bare to their hungry gaze, and I surrendered to the delicious vulnerability of the moment. Ass in the air, my body arched to their pleasure, a silent plea for more. His hand found my wetness, and I gasped sharply, a jolt of pleasure shooting through me. His fingers danced over my sensitive flesh, setting every nerve ending ablaze. His sound of primal satisfaction sent shudders cascading down my skin as his tongue delved into the wet heat, stoking the flames of my desire. I felt Kallum's han
ANISHA "What is this oil for?" I asked as I looked at the small bottle, which looked super expensive for just a bottle of oil. He appeared next to me in a flash and took the small bottle and held it up to the light, his fingers deftly turning it. "This is a rare ancient oil derived from a combination of herbs and flowers that have been known to aid in the well-being of both the mother and the growing child during pregnancy." "How does it work?" I leaned in, intrigued. "Just apply a small amount at night before bedtime. It also smells good." "That's so nice of you. I did like the herbs I had back in your place. I missed its aroma too." I peeked behind my shoulders and found my mates sitting next to each other, watching us with grim faces. So identical. I understood thought, after all, Lysandros's sudden appearance and offerings were still met with suspicion. Lysandros smiled faintly. "I'm glad you appreciated them." I picked up another bottle. "How about this purple thing?" "
ANISHARiabhel's curious eyes looked back at me. They arrived early this morning because we invited them to a dinner party later tonight. Roan and Khatya were surprised to hear about Lysandros and the encounter we had with him. "Who told you that?""He's famous in his world, An," Riabhel's eyes widened at me as if she wanted me to absorb the information she had just told me. "He has lived for centuries. Your mother is even acquainted with him that was why she's cool toward him. Of course, it wasn't my job to sniff around people's business, but yeah, he fell in love with a human and got her pregnant before."I blinked in surprise, my eyes squinting. Riabhel continued, shaking her head. "But there's more to it. The human died during childbirth, and it affected him deeply. That might be one reason why he's fascinated by you, An. Your pregnancy brings back memories, I suppose."My heart suddenly felt heavy. It was clear that Lysandros carried his own burdens and traumas, just like anyo
"Don't stop, Kaz, babe!" I gasped, my voice so needy. My body was on the brink of ecstasy, every movement of Kazimir's length inside my walls sending delicious pleasure coursing through me. The sensation of him stretching me as he pulled out, only to push back in again swiftly, had my senses reeling with the intensity of it all. "I can't get enough of you, mate. I just can't," he murmured as he thrust and I felt even more driven and pleased. My mouth found its way back to Kallum's length and enclosed my lips around him once again. The taste of him, the sounds of his hisses and grunts as I did him, were like music to my ears. "You're getting so much better each time, Muffin," Kallum's voice reached me. I beamed internally. I wanted to please them so much. "You learn so fast." The sensations intensified as Kazimir's movement went harder and faster. "So wet. You're dripping," he breathed, his hand venturing to the front and finding my clit. The sensation of his skilled fingers drum
"Stop it!" I linked them so the pleasure would stop, which they immediately did.The vibrations immediately stopped. I found myself catching my breath, my heart still racing from the unexpected surge of pleasure. I took a moment to compose myself, realizing how my emotions were now tangled up in a mix of anger and embarrassment. "I'm...sorry, Darren. I'm okay though," Ugh! It was frustrating. "What happened?" he looked genuinely concerned. I couldn't possibly answer him honestly!"Get your hands off her!" Kazimir's grip tightened around me, his protective stance clear, while Kallum leveled a challenging gaze at Darren.The tension was palpable as Kallum stepped forward, invading Darren's personal space, angry and dominant."Stop it, Kall!" I interjected, frustration was bubbling up from within me."He was touching you!" Kallum's voice was edged with jealousy.I could feel the weight of people's prying eyes on us already. We were making a scene."No, he was helping me," I quickly cla
"Check this out, babe. I'm digging this one," Kallum chimed, holding up a night dress and giving it a thoughtful once-over. Meanwhile, Kazimir was in the underwear section, presumably on the hunt for something interesting.I couldn't help but feel a blush creep onto my cheeks as I stood in the middle of the shopping chaos, trying to suppress any gasps or moans that threatened to escape. Actually, I couldn't give two hoots about the envious or curious glances from the people around us. My attention was too wrapped up in the sensations tingling through me. After all, my naughty mates had me wearing vibrating panties, and for some wild reason, they had decided a shopping trip was in order.Let's just say, the store was bustling with more than just your average retail therapy, and I was the visual representation of trying to keep it cool while electric sparks of pleasure decided to join the shopping party."Um, yeah, that dress looks nice," I managed to mumble, my voice a tad higher than
"Ahhh, the monster wave is coming to get me!" Aurelia let out a dramatic scream, running away from the water's edge with arms flailing when she spotted a particularly not-so-big wave heading her way.The twins watched her with wide eyes, surprised and in awe. I saw Kazimir and Kallum exchanging amused glances, knowing exactly where this had started. Splashy Monster. The sun was shining brightly, casting a sparkling reflection on the peaceful surface of the lagoon. We had decided to spend a fun-filled day at the lagoon. This location held a special place in my heart, evoking a subtle warmth within me. I internally blushed. Well, I knew that when my kids grew up, they would create their own memories in this very same place. However, the details of our escapades here were perhaps best left untold.Aurelia, now nine years old, was the ringleader of the day's activities, and the twins, two years old, were all eyes and giggles as they took in their surroundings.Imagine our surprise when t
Their combined attention was driving me wild. I could feel the warmth pooling between my thighs, aching for their touch. Kallum's lips found mine in a heated kiss, his fingers tracing a path down my body, igniting a trail of sensations. "Let's show our queen just how much we appreciate her," he murmured against my lips. Kazimir's hand slipped beneath the fabric of my night dress, his touch was hungry and arousing. "Every curve, every inch." I gasped as his fingers brushed my clothed front. "You both certainly know how to make a queen feel appreciated," I managed to tease, my voice came in breathless. Kallum's eyes sparkled with mischief as he leaned in closer, his lips brushing against my ear. "Oh, we're just getting started, muffin." Kazimir's touch grew bolder, his fingers tracing the vertical line to my crevice. "We have a whole world of appreciation to show you." Their words and actions worked in perfect harmony and I arched into their touch, my body responding to everywher
NARRATOR'S POV In the heart of the packhouse, our living room was a hub of activity. Family and friends had gathered for a casual afternoon get-together. Hazel and James with their daughter Aryana, were present too. I felt so happy and glowing now in my fifth month of pregnancy. I felt the love around me. I recalled the day we discovered we were carrying twins. My mates were over the moon. They punched the air and exchanged high-fives, so elated. The joy that had radiated from them was so infectious they both screamed the news through the entire pack link. Having twins was something they had always hoped for, a wish that ran deep within their blood. It was a trait that seemed to be woven into the fabric of our pack's lineage. My attention was drawn to my daughter who was now a bubbly ball of energy at her young age. Her excitement was plain to see as she dashed around, her laughter trailing behind her like a melodic song as she played with Aryana and Tiana. As I settled comf
ANISHA"Are you sure about this?" I asked Emmett, my mind processing the weight of the news he had just shared. We were all gathered in the packhouse, the atmosphere heavy with apprehension. The news they brought home was something that left me torn, a piece of news that I couldn't quite decide how to feel about.As I looked around the room, the emotions of those around me seemed to mirror my own inner turmoil. My mother, Annora, sat beside me, her expression unreadable. Beside her, Lewis mirrored her silence. My mates' brows deepened in concentration. "Why would Lysandros do that?""No one really knows," Emmett replied. "But he left a message for you.""For me?" "He won't bother your family, so he'll take the easiest path that will lead either to his happiness or end." He said. I let out a sigh. That meant he was sincere and meant no harm to us anymore. Lysandros closed his residence and went into hibernation, tapping a connection to magic and the supernatural. The concept of sl
Kallum hooked his arms around my legs, spreading them wide and guiding his length to my sleek folds. The anticipation of his touch had my breath catching in my throat, my body reacting instinctively to his touch. His length nudged against my clit, a teasing sensation that sent a jolt of pleasure through me. I gasped, feeling the delicious friction that ignited between us.In one powerful thrust, Kallum embedded himself inside me, the sensation so intense that it felt like the air was knocked out of me. The abruptness of the movement, the feeling of being filled completely, left me panting and screaming for their names. My breath caught in my throat. It was as if every nerve in my body was on fire, each inch of his length igniting a new wave of sensation. As he held himself there, buried deep inside me, my walls clamped around him, the sensation felt so good. I was so wet. "Kaz, I want you in my... mouth again," I cried out, the intensity of Kallum's thrusts never slowing down. Th
"Oh, that's cold!" I gasped, the sensation of the ice cream against my pussy sending a jolt of surprise through me. But my gasp turned into a moan when Kazimir devoured me, his actions showing that he wasn't kidding around. The heat of his mouth against the cold sweetness of the ice cream created a whirlwind of sensation that left me breathless and wanting more.And as if that wasn't enough to send me spiraling into a world of pleasure, Kallum traced his lips over my breast. The mixture of their touches – one sweet and cold, the other warm and teasing – had me arching my back, a low, involuntary moan escaping my lips."Cold is now the new kind of hot, pet," Kazimir said before diving back again, spreading my lower lips, his touch both aggressive and hungry. His tongue prodded in, a contrasting sensation of cold and heat that made my breath hitch with shock and pleasure. I felt my core tighten and my desire increase as he explored my wetness. The movement of his tongue was gentle, yet
