{Dominic}

I sat in the meeting room listening to Ryker and my Deltas talk about Butch's sudden dissapearance, but my mind was a long way from there. After everything that had happened in the ballroom with my mother, I had expected Evangeline to be furious, but she really seemed not to care.

A part of me thought she had gone home, but when I found her roaming the estate grounds, my heart felt ten pounds lighter. She was still wary of me, that part was for sure, but I was determined to prove to her that her intuition about Alphas was wrong.

We walked through the grounds, barely saying a word, not because I didn’t know what to say, but because her beauty under the moonlight overwhelmed me to the point I was speechless. My hand hovered near hers, but every time I wanted to hold it, she would retract and keep to herself.

I guess it really was just an act to her. When I had stood on that podium and announced her as mine, to me, it didn’t feel like an act. I wanted more, much more, and the t

    {Lyra}The mansion was beginning to suffocate me. Every corridor was filled with servants rushing past, Mirabel’s voice echoing from one end to the other, florists dragging in arrangements bigger than trees even. I couldn’t take it anymore, and slipped away the first chance I got. After wandering around the compound, I found myself in the gazebo at the edge of the estate garden. I took my shoes off and curled my toes into the white-painted bench.For a second, it felt like the world stopped spinning. The air was cool, the birds were chirping, and the wind whispered through the gazebo, carrying the scent of the garden’s flowers. I leaned back, letting my head rest against the wood, and stared up at the soft haze of clouds floating above the estate.I didn’t know marrying Dominic would come with such a side of chaos. I thought the hardest part would be keeping my lies in order. And not coordinating five different shades of cream for the table linens or answering whether I preferred orc

    {Dominic}My palms were sweating, which was silly to me because this wasn’t my first time standing at an altar.The hall was silent, except from the small chatter once in a while, and the soft music playing in the background. There were over five hundred powerful wolves keen to witness my marriage. The Bloodhound name had certain pull, but this was way more than I expected, more than last time even.I adjusted the collar of my suit, and my hands wouldn’t stop twitching. The doors suddenly opened and the hall went silent as Evangeline stepped in .The snow-white dress hugged her body like it had been created for her by the Moon goddess herself, and she held a bouquet of blood red roses. Mirabel walked just behind her, holding the trail of the gown, but my eyes were focused directly on my bride.She looked almost not real, and I felt if I blinked too fast she would vanish. My throat suddenly went dry and I tried swallowing but it didn’t help.“Since when was I so jittery?”Even the wolv

    {Lyra}Dominic’s warm hand gripped mine, and we moved through the already parting crowd. It wasn’t until we passed through the massive oak doors of the reception hall that I realized he wasn’t letting go. His hand clamped down on Isaac’s shoulder as we passed, and my brother, whose face was still pale from shock, fell right in step behind us. Isaac sat in the front seat, while Dominic guided me into the backseat, before getting in behind me. The second the car door closed, the driver hit the gas. The white ribbons tied to the bumper fluttered in the wind as we left the wedding reception behind.There was a nerve-wracking silence in that car, which was occasionally broken by the sound of Isaac’s sneakers tapping nervously against the floor. From the rearview mirror, I could see that he didn’t look okay, not one bit. But he kept his shoulders squared and he kept his face straight, trying not to break.Dominic sat beside me, his thigh pressed against mine, but he didn’t touch me again.

    {Lyra}The late morning sun gleamed off the polished body of the private jet waiting just beyond the fence, and the car came to a stop in front of the private airstrip. Before I could even reach for the handle, Dominic was already out and opening the door for me while his hand extended down to me. A few black-suited staff members moved quickly toward the trunk to unload our bags.Mirabel had helped me pack. Or should I say she did the packing while I stared off into space and thought about how incredibly reckless this all was. A whole week alone with an Alpha. An infuriatingly perceptive Alpha who smelled like pinewood and sin.My heart gave a painful thump. “Moon goddess,” I muttered under my breath as I climbed out of the car, “give me strength.”The flight crew stood by the staircase, their heads bowed low in reverence to Dominic and his new Luna. I kept my gaze ahead, chin slightly lifted as I climbed the stairs, doing my best to look unfazed.But the second I stepped inside that

    {Dominic}I couldn’t help myself, I thought I could suppress the surge of desire I felt the second I laid eyes on her in that white towel that hugged her curves in the most tempting way. But clearly, I was fighting a losing battle.When I got into the room, I had heard a noise in the bathroom, and at first I thought of walking out, but my curiosity got the best of me, and suddenly the bathroom door opened. The second I caught sight of her—bare feet, damp hair curling at her shoulders, the short towel clinging to her body that barely hid anything—my wolf exploded.The moment my lips touched hers, it was like every breath I’d ever held back came rushing out all at once. Her lips tasted like heat and sweet citrus, they were impossibly soft, and trembled softly against mine, yet she didn’t pull away. I’d expected resistance, maybe even a slap, but she stood, wide-eyed and breathless.Then she kissed me back, pressing her mouth to mine softly, but it made every cell in my body howl with hu

    {Dominic}Her voice caught me off guard. She sounded almost like she was already regretting her decision.“Well, if you're up for it, I thought we could check out the boat. There’s a dock just down the cliff.”She stiffened slightly as her lips twitched, and not in a good way. “I’m not a fan of water,” she murmured, barely meeting my gaze. “Not a fan?” I gave her a suspicious look, “Like you get seasick? Or you just hate the ocean?”She gave me a look. “I almost drowned once. Never stepping foot near it again.”“First air, now water?” I laughed, “You’re quiet the character, aren’t you?”She glared at me, and there was an awkward pause before I finally responded. “Look, you won’t have to swim or even touch the water. The yacht’s massive and it doesn’t rock much. Besides, you'll be inside most of the time with me. I won’t let anything happen to you.”She bit her lower lip, and I could hear her pulse tick up slightly. My gaze focused on how her teeth sank into her bottom lip, and I imm

    {Lyra}The sea was calm this morning, swaying gently under the yacht, and the sky was a dim shade of amber, almost like someone had spilled honey across.I pulled my knees to my chest, the hem of my sundress dancing around my ankles in the early breeze. My hair was still damp from my shower; curling slightly at the ends and clinging to the sides of my face. I hadn’t bothered to fix it and instead kept staring out at the shimmering ripples of the ocean. It was our last morning on the yacht, and something about that felt… heartbreaking. I wasn’t ready to leave, and return back to the real world, but even I knew that was a pipe dream.Still, a part of me wanted to hold this particular moment in my hands and freeze it here forever. It wasn’t about the expensive yacht, or even the private island, or the dream beach house, or the fact that I’d finally tasted food that could make you moan in public and not care.It was him.Dominic made this a dream I never asked for.

    {Dominic}Her fingers curled into the front of my shirt with surprising strength for someone so delicate, yanking me down before I could think, or even breathe.It was hot, it was messy, and it was divine.I allowed myself to savor the taste of Evangeline as I nibbled softly on her bottom lip; she tasted like margaritas and spice, and her scent filled my nostrils, diminishing what little restraint I had left. Her breath hitched as her fingers moved into my hair, pulling me closer, until I was practically braced above her, one hand on the mattress, the other still half in the air where I’d been about to walk out.“The contract…” I muttered against her lips.A lazy, drunk giggle escaped her mouth. “You never signed the addendum.” Her voice was breathy, and her lips brushed mine. “Technically, we can do whatever we want.”My blood roared like crashing tides, and I kissed her again. It was soft at first, but I wanted more… much more. My arm wrapped around her back, and my other hand gripp

    {Lyra}The moment Ryker muttered her name, I watched the light drain from Dominic’s face like someone had turned off a switch. His whole body went still, just for a second, but I felt the shift. His nostrils flared slightly, and for a second, he didn’t speak.He just kept his gaze on Ryker, and silence filled he entire airstrip. But then he straightened his shoulders and flicked his head. “We’re taking your car.”His hand came up, already motioning toward our driver. “Drop Evangeline off—”“I’m coming with you,” I cut in, before he could finish.His head snapped to me, brows drawing together. “Evangeline, this doesn’t—”“Concern me?” I tilted my head, letting my voice lift with faux sweetness as I stepped closer. “Dominic, this is obviously a family matter. And last I checked, I’m part of the family now, right?”That earned me a long, hard glare. The kind that could’ve made a lesser wolf whimper and back off. But I didn’t move. In fact, I squared my shoulders and leaned in just enough

    {Lyra}My head felt like it had been split open by a sledgehammer. It pulsed with a dull, unrelenting ache that throbbed behind my eyes.I groaned, cracking one eye open, only to immediately regret it as sunlight poured through the open cabin windows and stabbed right into my skull. Every inch of my skin felt warm, and not the sunburnt, or fever warm, just a burning sensation, spreading from low in my belly, through my limbs like a slowly growing flame.As I shifted under the covers, a creeping awareness overwhelmed me—something wasn’t right. Beneath the silky sheets... “Sweet moon goddess, no!” My hands darted down and confirmed my horror. Aside from my panties, I was completely naked.I let out a high-pitched shriek and shot up in the bed, clutching the covers to my chest as my heart hammered so loudly I thought it might leap from my throat. “What the hell happened last night?!”Images flashed through my mind, and my brain scrambled through foggy memories; his mouth on mine, his han
