Lucas could tell by the expression on Luna's face that she was absolutely pissed, but instead of feeling bad about it, he felt even more amused that she was still easily triggered by the word ‘crazy’.He had noticed over the years that Luna didn't like to be called crazy, and he had always found that weird, especially since Luna was what he would describe as the living definition of a crazy woman. Everything about her was crazy to him, and he had expected that by now, she had gotten used to being seen as a crazy woman without getting upset about it. "Did you just call me crazy, or did I happen to hear wrongly?" Luna asked, even though she knew for sure that Lucas had called her crazy. If there was one word she didn't like to hear, it was the exact word he said, and it was taking everything in her not to punch him in the face for using the forbidden word on her. As weird as it was that she was easily triggered by the word ‘crazy’, she still didn’t like to hear anyone call her cra
My father's words hung in the air, a bold declaration of his confidence in my abilities. They were met with a mixture of polite applause and cautious nods from the guests, their thoughts concealed behind veils of politeness. Beta Montez, however, seemed to be growing increasingly uncomfortable with my father's unwavering support.As the evening unfolded, I couldn't help but feel a growing weight on my shoulders. It wasn't the weight of responsibility that burdened me; it was the heavy skepticism of others that weighed me down. The guests' sidelong glances and whispered conversations made it clear that they had reservations about me assuming the Alpha position at such a young age.I excused myself from the main gathering, needing a moment of solitude. Stepping out into the cool night air, I found solace in the moon's soft glow. The night had always been my sanctuary, a place where I could gather my thoughts and find clarity.I took a deep breath, my thoughts racing. I couldn't blame th
Luna Lucas pulled me closer, pressing me firmly against his body. His arms wrapped around me, and as his kiss intensified, I could feel the warmth of his body through the layers of clothes separating us.I was lost; I didn't even realize what was happening until my body reacted involuntarily. It began with a slight tingle beneath my skin, growing into a fire burning deep within my core.My wolf's growl vibrated throughout my body. She demanded I accept Lucas' embrace and let him consume me. My wolf responded with a desperate whine, pleading with me to let go of my self-respect and do something irrational. The heat coursing through my veins threatened to overtake my rationality, and I could feel my control slipping away.The realization dawned on me: I couldn't suppress my feelings much longer. I pushed away from him, breaking the kiss reluctantly, as if the slightest touch would burn me. As soon as my lips parted, the coldness of the night air hit my face, sending shivers down my
Luna Lucas immediately obliged, leaning down and kissing me deeply. One of his hands traveled upward until he found my breast, rubbing soothing circles over the valley of my tits while he took possession of my mouth once more, deepening the kiss and holding me tighter against him as his hand traveled underneath my dress.I moaned softly at his touch, and my body instinctively responded as my hands reached up to grasp his hair firmly in my fist.The next thing I knew, his hand had slipped beneath my dress, his thumb grazing my skin as his warm fingertips pushed aside my panties and grazed my sensitive center. My eyes widened when he touched me, and I involuntarily grabbed his wrist with my other hand, holding it in place."Please," I breathed shakily, my voice shaky with longing as my body arched toward his touch.His fingers continued to stroke me, moving ever so lightly over the folds of my flesh, causing a burning sensation in its wake. My entire body shuddered at his touch as I
Ava's heart raced with anticipation as she made her way back to the Grayson Pack, her footsteps quickening with every familiar landmark that came into view. It had been almost a month since she had last seen Lucas and the prospect of finally reuniting with him after the agonizing separation filled her with excitement. The reason behind her absence had been twofold: to give herself time to process the news of Lucas finding his mate and to come to terms with the reality that their connection had been temporarily severed.She had grappled with the revelation that Lucas had found his true mate, a fact he had chosen not to share with her until a while later. It had stung, but after weeks of soul-searching, Ava had resolved not to let it ruin her relationship with Lucas. Deep down, she couldn't hide her excitement at the prospect of seeing him again. She had missed him, missed the warmth of his smile and the strength of his arms around her. If he had a mate, then so be it. She refuse
"It's not that. I just wasn't expecting you to come around so soon but you know you're always welcome to come back home just as long as you're not here to complain about anything or cause any trouble," he responded and I scoffed. "Oh please Dad, don't be so pathetic! How dare you tell me that I'm only welcome here just as long as I don't cause trouble? Does that mean that if I have something to say, I'm not allowed to say it because it might be a problem for you and your family?" I questioned and he sighed. "I'm begging you, Nicole, don't do this. This isn't the time or the place to try to vent your anger. I can understand why you're upset and believe me, I feel really bad that this had to happen but you have to move past it and move on with your life. There's nothing you can do to change how things have turned out," he said and I could not believe the words coming out of my father's mouth. "You know what Dad, I don't want to talk about this with you because I didn't come here to
Third-Person Pov The air in Lucas's office felt heavy with tension as he gestured towards the chair opposite his desk. "Please, Ava, have a seat. Let's talk this through," he said, his voice calm despite the storm of emotions swirling inside him.But Ava was in no mood to comply. Anger flared in her eyes as she glared at him, her frustration palpable. "I have no interest in sitting, Lucas. All I want is an explanation," she snapped, her voice sharp.Lucas took a deep breath, trying to steady himself against the torrent of emotions crashing over him. He opened his mouth to speak, but Ava's fiery determination stopped him in his tracks."Don't you dare try to dodge my questions," she warned, her voice trembling with a mix of anger and hurt. "What truth are you keeping from me, Lucas? And don't try to soften the blow, just tell me."Lucas met her gaze, the weight of his confession heavy on his shoulders. "Ava, it's complicated," he began, his voice barely above a whisper.But Ava cut
Third-Person Pov Lucas sat in silence, the weight of Ava's revelation pressing heavily on him. The room felt as if it were closing in, and he couldn't tear his gaze away from the woman who had just dropped a bombshell into his life. As he grappled with the idea of becoming a father, his mind raced through a whirlwind of thoughts and emotions.It was still early in his relationship with Luna, a connection that made him happy like nothing else. They had only recently given in to their feelings for each other, and now the impending arrival of a child threatened to complicate everything. Lucas couldn't help but wonder how Luna would react when she learned that Ava had returned—not alone, but with the news of a pregnancy.He knew that he was the one at fault for not ending things with Ava before embarking on a new relationship with Luna. He had let things spiral out of control, and now the consequences of his actions were staring him in the face. He had finally mustered the courage t
Third-Person Pov Luna's return to the Dawn pack was met with a mix of relief and apprehension. She had needed some time away to clear her mind, but the situation with Lucas and Ava still weighed heavily on her. As soon as she entered the pack's territory, she was greeted by the familiar faces and scents of her pack members, a comforting sight after her days away.In the hallway, she was welcomed by her best friend, Layla. Luna's face lit up as she saw Layla waiting for her. Without hesitation, she rushed toward her friend and enveloped her in a tight hug."Layla!" Luna exclaimed, her voice tinged with gratitude. "I've missed you."Layla returned the hug warmly, concern in her eyes as she held her friend. "I've missed you too, Luna," she said softly. "Are you okay? You look like you've been through a lot."Luna sighed, releasing Layla from the embrace, but still holding onto her friend's arms. "I'm trying to be," she confessed, her eyes reflecting the turmoil within. "The situation w
Third-person pov Luna had arrived at the Grayson Pack unannounced, a surprise she had carefully orchestrated to catch Lucas off guard. She wanted to see him, to ensure that their relationship wouldn't crumble under the weight of the news about Ava. Additionally, she had a burning desire to confront Ava directly, to make it clear that Lucas was now with her, and she wasn't about to let him go.The servants, having received prior instructions from Luna, led her through the impressive Grayson Pack territory to Lucas's office. She was a woman on a mission, her heart full of determination and love, as she approached the Alpha's den. The air was charged with a mix of anxiety and anticipation as she reached her destination.Luna raised her hand to knock on the sturdy office door, her heart racing. It was Lucas's voice that invited her in. She turned the doorknob and entered, greeted by the sight of her beloved Lucas. The surprise on his face was unmistakable as their eyes met, and his
Third-person pov Ava sat alone in her dimly lit apartment, her tear-streaked face illuminated by the cold glow of her phone screen. She clutched the device tightly in her trembling hand, while her mother's concerned voice emanated from the other end of the line. Her mother's soft voice broke through the silence, a lifeline in the midst of her emotional storm."What's wrong, my darling? You've been crying nonstop," her mother said, her tone heavy with worry.Amidst sniffling and gasps for air, Ava managed to speak. "You were right, Mom," she choked out. "About the werewolves. I should've listened to you."A heavy sigh echoed through the phone before her mother inquired gently, "Tell me, Ava. What happened? What did Lucas do to hurt you?"Ava's voice quivered as she began to recount her painful ordeal. "Just as you had warned me, Mom, Lucas chose his mate over me. After I came back here to rekindle things between us, he told me that he wanted to end things with me for good. He told me
Third Person PovThe first rays of morning sunlight seeped through the curtains of Luna's room, casting a gentle glow on her face as she lay in peaceful slumber. The room was bathed in a serene, golden hue, a stark contrast to the cacophony of thoughts that had kept her awake late into the night. She was jolted from her dreams as a persistent knock echoed through her bedroom door.Blinking away the remnants of her dreams, Luna's voice was groggy as she called out, "Who's there?"The door cracked open, revealing a servant who stood on the threshold, their eyes respectfully downcast. "Alpha Robles has requested your presence in the dining area for breakfast, Luna," the servant informed her.Luna frowned, puzzled by the unusual request. Her father rarely summoned her to join him for meals, and the fact that he had done so this morning only deepened her confusion. But she knew better than to disregard her father's wishes, and she couldn't afford to incur his displeasure. She sighed and
Third-Person Pov Lucas was engrossed in his work when the door to his office burst open, startling him. Ava stormed in with a fiery determination, her presence unexpected. He hadn't seen her since the day she had angrily cleared his table and stormed out of his life. Her unannounced entrance caught him off guard, but he maintained a calm and composed demeanor, masking his surprise.With a raised eyebrow, Lucas regarded Ava, his gaze unwavering. "Ava," he said, his tone gentle and inquiring. "I haven't seen you in a while. How have you been? Is there something I can help you with?"Ava ignored his pleasantries, her demeanor rigid and unyielding. She wasted no time in getting to the point. "I need a car, Lucas. Get one ready for me," she demanded, her voice curt and commanding.Lucas was taken aback by her request. "A car?" he asked, genuinely puzzled. "Where do you need to go? If you need something, you could have simply sent someone to assist you. There's no need for you to go your
Third-Person PovLuna retreated to her room, her mind racing with a storm of conflicting emotions. The news of her stepmother's pregnancy had hit her like a tidal wave, leaving her feeling unmoored and lost. She had grown up in the pack with a profound sense of isolation, and this unexpected announcement only exacerbated her feelings of displacement.As she closed the door behind her, Luna sank onto her bed, her hands trembling with the intensity of her emotions. The room, once a sanctuary from the chaos of pack life, now felt suffocating, and Luna found herself gasping for air as if the walls were closing in on her.She pressed her palms against her temples, attempting to steady her thoughts. The anger, the resentment, the hurt—they all swirled within her, a tempest threatening to consume her entirely. Luna took deep breaths, trying to regain control, but the air felt thick, as if it carried the weight of her father's decision.The conflicting emotions tore at her. On one hand, sh
