Luna I excused myself from Luna Esmeralda, another friend of my father’s, promising to catch up later with her again, even though I didn’t intend to come back. Lady Esmeralda was the only guest who didn't seem to regard me with skepticism regarding my upcoming role as the first female Alpha of our pack, and her genuine support had eased some of the tension that had been building inside me throughout the evening. I quickly made my way to the crowded bar to get a glass of water since my throat was already dry. I smiled and nodded at a few guests as I approached the bar, grateful for the occasional respite. There was a tense atmosphere in the room as the scent of various wolves mixed with the anticipation in the air. As I reached for a glass of water, I couldn't help but overhear snippets of conversations from nearby guests. They all seemed to be staring past me, their attention focused on something outside the hall. A hushed murmur spread like wildfire through the hall, and I tur
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
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 a
Lucas Luna was sleeping next to me when the moonlight softly filled the terrace, illuminating her serene figure. The aftermath of our intense lovemaking lingered in the air, a heady mix of passion and vulnerability. I could not help but be amazed by the woman next to me because she was so stunning at this moment that it seemed like looking at her for just one night would never be enough. My eyes adjusted to the darkness, and I could still hear the party's distant hum—music and laughter resonating through the night. It had already gotten to be two in the morning when I looked at my watch, and with festivities lasting well into the night, the celebration showed no signs of abating. Turning my gaze back to Luna, I took a moment to appreciate the graceful lines of her features, the delicate curve of her lips, and the way her chest rose and fell with each peaceful breath. In the moonlight, there was something otherworldly about her—a seductive charm—that captivated me. I let out a
I was in my office, organizing some files while taking the time to collect my thoughts and maintain my focus. Today was supposed to be a wonderful and peaceful day for me, but the peace was disrupted when my Beta, Helene, stormed in with a look that said it all.There was trouble somewhere."What's going on, Helene?" I asked, my curiosity piqued as I sat up straight.Helene's stormy gray eyes bore into mine. "We've got a situation, Lucas. A big one," she replied.I frowned, my head racked with concern. "Spit it out."Mateo, one of my men, had informed me earlier about some issues at the Western border, but I had assumed it was just another routine report. Seeing how Helene walked in here with that tense look on her face hinted at something far more serious."Lucas, the Dawn Pack has pulled their guards from the Western border, and not just there. They've withdrawn protection from several other regions too," she informed me, and I was temporarily confused. "What? Why would Alpha Roble
Luna I kept tapping my feet nervously as I waited for Lucas to show up in the meeting room. Ever since we are agreed that we were going to be cordial with each other, and also give each other a chance to know ourselves outside of what we already knew, Lucas and I haven't exactly spoken since then and because I didn't want to seem like I wasn't taking our agreement seriously, I decided to come here myself and speak to him. I had thought long and hard about it because I'm in the coming year myself could make me seem like the more desperate one, but, seeing how my father was already asking questions about how were progressing as friends, I had a feeling that if I didn't take the first step, Lucas and I may not be speaking to each other for a very long time. After what felt like forever, I finally heard the door to the meeting room open and I immediately knew that it was Lucas because I could smell him. He had a very strong scent and the fact that I was his mate made his scent e
I huddled at the freezing cage's far end. My entire body is in excruciating pain. The wounds inflicted on me stung like my body had been attacked by a swarm of ants. I bit my lower lip hard to keep the pain at bay and the heat from my insides at bay.Taking deep breaths, I attempted to regain my footing but failed miserably, collapsing to the cold, hard stone."Amelia.." Someone called my name. Tara, my cellmate who was also locked up in the cage with me, spoke to me in a familiar voice.She stretched out and tried to push me up, but I refused."Wake up, Amelia!" She screamed angrily, taking care not to touch my injuries and open them up for the second time."Keep your voices down!" Outside the cage, a guard yelled, and h e whipped the bars constantly to keep our voices quiet."She's ill!" Tara cried out "She's burning up, and she will be dead soon if you do not help her!""And do you think I care less if she lives or dies?" The guard made a nasty remark "Every day, slaves die in here
LunaHis words hung in the air like a dense fog, momentarily silencing the room. "Crazy?" I repeated, my voice tight with anger. "That's your brilliant assessment of me? Care to elaborate?"Lucas didn't back down, his gaze steady as he met my fiery one. "You're impulsive, Luna. You act on emotions without thinking things through, and you have a tendency to stir up drama wherever you go. That's why I called you 'crazy' – it's not just some baseless insult."I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Lucas had always been aloof, but this was a whole new level of hostility. "You know, Lucas, I may have my flaws, but I'm not the one who kisses people at random," I shot back, referring to the incident that had brought us here in the first place.He sighed heavily, his irritation palpable. "We've been over this, Luna. I've already apologized for that.""An apology doesn't erase the fact that you acted recklessly," I retorted, my voice dripping with sarcasm. "And you want to judge me for being i
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

"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?

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
