"Let's make our way back to the house before your mama awakens," Grayson suggested, mindful of the consequences of staying out all night.

"Oh no, we're in for a big scolding!" Noah exclaimed, worried about the trouble they might face.

Warner chuckled reassuringly. "No, little pup. You were with your pack, surrounded by safety. Moreover, your mama knew exactly where you were. How about a race back to the house?"

Warner and Noah darted towards Aphelion with the unruly energy and swiftness of unleashed hounds of the underworld. Grayson couldn't help but cast a backward glance at the once-innocent cloak now tainted by the act of marking territory. Thoughts of Gabriel's nefarious intentions filled his mind, intensifying his resolve to shield his family from any harm that might befall them.

The desire to escape surged within Grayson, a feeling he had never experienced with such intensity before. Throughout his long existence, he had emphasized to Blake the importance of strategic retreats a

    As he strolled through the halls, his footsteps echoing softly, Grayson found himself cornered by "Aunt Lenny." The expression etched on her face was a rare sight, one that only a select few had ever glimpsed. Lenore Breslin was not the type to display fear openly.Her scent stirred a mix of unease within him. It wasn't precisely fear, yet it lacked the comforting or pleasant qualities he had come to associate with scents. When he had lunged at her earlier, forcefully pinning her down, her scent had remained unchanged. There was no trace of distress or fear. However, whatever she needed to discuss with him now seemed far more urgent than being tackled by an enraged werewolf.Grayson positioned himself to lend a keen ear to her words. "Shall we adjourn to the boardroom? I also have a matter to discuss with you."She nodded in agreement, and he guided her to the room where his Alpha brother presided over both pack and family meetings."Quite exquisite, isn't it?" she commented upon ente

    "Your brother possesses full knowledge of the events leading up to the unspeakable torture endured by Kate. Despite her valiant resistance, she eventually fell into their clutches, and I found myself utterly powerless to intervene and save her. The malevolent perpetrators subjected her to indescribable anguish, mercilessly tearing her apart time and time again, perpetuating an abhorrent cycle of torment. They callously permitted her to regenerate and heal, only to subject her to further agonies. Can you fathom the depths of their monstrous deeds?"The very contemplation of the atrocities inflicted upon Kate—her violation, her slaughter, her repeated resuscitation—ignited an overwhelming surge of rage coursing through Grayson's being. The haunting image of those abominable acts being perpetrated against his beloved Ava mercilessly plagued his thoughts, pushing him precariously close to the brink of losing control. His primal instincts clawed vehemently beneath his skin, yearning to bre

    When Ava encountered Blake Redwood, the imposing and formidable Alpha of the Redwood pack, he was playfully crawling on all fours in the boardroom, still maintaining his human shape, while Noah gleefully rode on his back."Mama!" Noah jumped down from Blake's back and into Ava's waiting arms.The billionaire CEO of Redwood Industries flashed a charming grin from the floor, his blonde hair falling over his forehead. Ava could see why Randi was smitten. He was attractive. Not as captivating as Grayson, of course, but still appealing.Randi placed a comforting hand on Ava's shoulder. "There's something special about those Redwood men, don't you think? We're incredibly fortunate."Blake rose from his position and ran a hand through his hair, adjusting his suit. Even when he wasn't directly looking at Randi, it seemed like his attention was always drawn to her.The intensity of their exchange made Ava feel like an intruder, witnessing a private moment."Setting that aside, Ava, it is my pr

    “Right now, we’re going to the maze. That’s the way to my dream. I want to be with you. I want to be your wife. Your mate in all ways. I want this pack. This family. It was ripped from away from me.”“Hugging my brother— the Alpha.” He hung his head.“I belonged to this pack before, didn’t I? When put his arms around me, it was like coming home. A home I didn’t know I’d lost. What if one day, this was all just gone, and even if you didn’t remember it, you’d feel it, wouldn’t you? And what if you could have it back?” she cried.“But you can’t! Not the way you want it.”“Come with me to the maze.”“And what? I doubt the flower is going to work on you. Even if it did, why? So you stop being afraid long enough to have sex? I want you willing and in complete control of all your faculties when you come to my bed.”"No, you can't intimidate me," she exclaimed, though fear coursed through her veins. However, it was essential for her to undertake this endeavor. She needed to reclaim her former

    "There's something I need to tell you before we proceed any further.""What is it?""I saw Gabriel's cloak at the outskirts of our territory last night.""Was Noah with you?""Yes. And he marked the cloak.""He did what?" Did that mean what she suspected?Grayson offered a half-hearted grin. "We all did. But it's crucial that you know, putting yourself at risk right now—""Even more reason to do it. This will make me stronger. It will make us stronger."He remained silent, following her lead instead. It didn't take her long to locate the maze's center. It was as if she had an innate knowledge of its layout, as though it were etched into her memory.The flower possessed a hauntingly captivating beauty, its dark and glossy appearance exuding a sense of death. As each petal gracefully unfurled, Ava found herself spellbound. The allure of the flower compelled her to reach out and touch it—no, she felt an undeniable need to touch it.With hesitant fingers, Ava extended her hand, making con

    "Please, Grayson," she pleaded. "I promise I won't be frightened.""You may not fear the wolf, but the warrior within, that's what you'll be afraid of. Just like before," he cautioned."Perhaps," she acknowledged. "But I still want to see. Will you reveal that part of yourself to me? I didn't have the opportunity to truly observe and comprehend it before. I need to witness that aspect of you."Reluctantly, he broke away from her, a look of hesitation etched across his face. "Maybe this is for the best."His lips were as plump as her own, his chest rising and falling as he regained his breath, and she couldn't help but marvel at his incredible beauty.There was no horrifying crunch of bones, no tearing or rending of flesh, no demonic howls of agony. In an instant, he transitioned from man to a magnificent amber wolf with eyes ablaze like burning embers.And the tail, oh so fluffy."May I touch your tail?" she inquired.He growled in response."No? Alright. Can I touch you, then?"The m

    Holding Ava tenderly in his arms, he carried her up to his room, cherishing the notion of keeping her there for an extended period of approximately a month. Nevertheless, the unfolding circumstances necessitated a departure from his personal desires.The spot where she had bitten him pulsated with a pleasurable sensation. His inner beast yearned to reciprocate the mark, and it appeared that she shared the same longing, judging by her outward demeanor.However, he couldn't erase the haunted expression in Lenore Breslin's eyes when she had revealed the details of Ava's past ordeal. He never wished for her to retain those memories. She insisted that a part of her essence was absent, but sometimes, the absence of those memories could be viewed as a positive aspect. Those memories functioned as a malignant growth, and the sole remedy, as suggested by Lenore, was their eradication. He placed immense trust in the hunter, who had personally witnessed the events and cared for Ava as if she wer

    He wasn't prepared for this conversation, but it was necessary. "We have to talk about Noah.""Oh no, what's the matter?""Do you recall Mrs. Westwood mentioning the Academy?""I'm not ready to send him away."Grayson could sense the determination in her eyes and the firmness in her jawline. "I don't want to send him away.""Really? Because right after I mentioned wanting to wait on intimacy, you bring up sending him away.""Is that what you think of me?"Her determination faded, and her shoulders slumped. "No, not at all. Everything is still so new, and even the positive aspects are somewhat overwhelming, to be honest. So, please, explain it to me. Why do we need to send him to the Academy now?""Gabriel Harrison, for starters. Remember when I mentioned finding his cloak?"She nodded. "I thought you said we were safer at Aphelion, that you could protect us here.""I possess the capability to shield him, and you exist. Nevertheless, there exist certain circumstances within this realm

    Ava experienced a delightful mix of anticipation and jitters as she readied herself for the inaugural visiting day at the Academy. The separation from Noah had been challenging, yet deep down, she knew it was the best choice they could make. The knowledge that he was secure among his peers, acquiring knowledge and blossoming into his own while still relishing his childhood, brought her solace.This period of separation had proven advantageous for Ava as well. It afforded her the opportunity to reclaim her identity as a wolf and skillfully navigate the intricate terrain of straddling two worlds. The profound connection she forged with the Okami granted her a profound sense of restoration and a rekindling of her untamed spirit.As she observed her husband gracefully moving about their dwelling at Aphelion, casually tending to everyday tasks like slipping on socks and securing his shoelaces, Ava couldn't help but ponder how far they had journeyed. In the depths of her mind, she realized

    "You might want to step back," she cautioned, a primal howl escaping her throat.Grayson appeared unsettled, yet she bared her teeth at him. I don't need you to rescue me. She hoped he understood her message.He extended his arms to hold the pack at bay, and together they stood, waiting."Why don't you run, Royce?" she taunted. "I know how much you relish the chase.""Perhaps you've forgotten the rules of this game." He produced an amulet, thrusting it in her direction.But it had no effect, not even a tingle. "Would you like me to enlighten you on where you messed up?" Her voice had deepened even further.Royce fumbled with the amulet."You twisted a wolf spirit that already existed in this realm. You merged it with the Okami—my own wolf spirit. You took it, crushed it, tore it apart, but like a fool, you pieced it back together. Now, it and I are one once more. It belongs to me. I am... it. You hold no power over us."DeVayne underwent a transformation unlike any natural werewolf. H

    "No bells ringing in that pretty head yet?" he taunted, coming to a halt. "Right here is where they snuffed out your life the first time." He jerked her arm and pulled her towards a small hideaway nestled within a well-groomed garden that bordered the edge of the forest. "And right here is where they brought you back to life."Flashes of bloodshed and torment exploded like fireworks behind her closed eyes."Anything coming back?" he probed."No," she fibbed, hiding the fragments of memories threatening to overwhelm her."Here," he forcefully dragged her towards the crumbling remains of what used to be a majestic country mansion. The dilapidated house cast a daunting shadow, its grandeur long faded. "This is where DeVayne's savage creatures had their way with you."The memories surged forth once more, and her body reacted to the recollection, even if her mind resisted acknowledging it."I bet you can feel it right now, their foul breath lingering on the back of your throat.

    In the realm of slumber, Ava became acutely aware that she was ensconced in an extraordinary, lucid reverie. The world around her was awash with surreal hues and captivating textures, leaving no doubt that this was indeed a dream. Amidst this phantasmagorical landscape, her senses were stirred by an eerie presence hovering above her bed: a mysterious figure shrouded in a cloak. Ava was convinced that this could only be a figment of her dreaming mind.She felt as if she had slumbered for an eternity, her eyes encrusted with fine grains of sand, her body laden with weariness, and her lips tender and chafed, as if they had been the recipients of fervent kisses. The memory of the sugar statue came rushing back, and a sense of trepidation took hold. But the cloaked figure interrupted her train of thought, dismissing the concern with an enigmatic statement."No, fret not about him. He's inconsequential. It's only you, and me," the figure murmured, as his eyes were suddenly engulfed in dark

    He didn't care about anyone's opinion, he didn't care if Westwood was furious, nothing mattered except Ava and Noah.As he stepped into Aphelion, gratitude flooded his heart for his family, his brothers, his pack. He couldn't help but imagine what it would be like to face DeVayne, Monk, and all the other looming threats alone. It would be like suffocating, like being submerged in a never-ending abyss.The moment he entered, Mrs. Westwood appeared by his side, her presence a comforting anchor. "Let's get her to your room," she said with urgency."It was DeVayne. He was here," Grayson revealed, his voice filled with a mix of anger and frustration."That's impossible," Mrs. Westwood replied, her brows furrowing in concern."And yet, he stood right in front of Gin, demanding Ava," Grayson confirmed, the memory seared into his mind.A crackle of lightning danced a

    Grayson Redwood had always prided himself on his unwavering self-control. He mastered the art of maintaining his human facade, concealing the primal wolf within until the opportune moment arose. His expertise lay in communication, diplomacy, but when the time called for it, his ferocious teeth would be bared.However, upon witnessing the statue of Royce DeVayne positioned beside his mate's crumpled form, the warrior within Grayson erupted, tearing through his flesh to reveal his true form. Unexpectedly, it was Parker, his own brother, who interposed himself between Grayson and the exit of the sweet shop."Brother, hold on. Think," Parker implored, extending his hands as a gesture of peace.Grayson let out a deafening roar, but Parker refused to retreat. "Do you not see why he appeared here? To taunt you, to prove a point. What you must do now is attend to your mate. Bring her back to Aphelion, send Mrs. Westwood with Noa

    "You're right," Gin agreed, savoring another cupcake. "Sorry, I tend to rely on sugar when I'm nervous.""It's your face. Fill it with whatever makes you happy," Ava assured her, harboring no judgment."He's the Watcher, right?" Gin inquired."That's my understanding. But he's not one of those who hurt you," Ava reassured her, trying to alleviate any lingering concerns."I'll go. I'll despise myself if I don't. It'll be that nagging voice in the back of my mind, reminding me of all the things I should have done but couldn't. It'll be the evidence that voice needs to convince me that I'm weak," Gin confessed, her voice tinged with vulnerability."You're not weak. You're incredible. Look at everything you've endured and all that you've accomplished. Here, have another cupcake," Ava encouraged, urging Gin to enjoy the sweet treat.Gin followed Ava's advice and s

    "What is it?" Lenore inquired, her eyes focused on the path ahead."Noah. Grayson wants to send him to the Academy, and I... I don't know," Ava confessed, her voice tinged with uncertainty. A part of her secretly wished that Lenore would strongly oppose the idea, reassuring her that it was a terrible decision. She longed to keep her son close, feeling that five years old was much too young for him to be separated from her.But the truth was, Noah wasn't five anymore, was he?Lenore paused for a moment, contemplating her response. "If it were me, I would do it. I understand that you'll miss him tremendously, but the Academy is perhaps the safest place besides Aphelion. Plus, it would allow him to enjoy his childhood a little while longer," she offered.Ava sighed, her conflicted emotions evident. "I was hoping you would tell me it was a terrible idea."Lenore shook her head gently

    Discovering Lenore in the midst of packing her equipment, Ava lunged forward and embraced her tightly."You're fortunate I heard you before you pounced!" Lenore playfully teased, returning the hug."I don't want you to leave," Ava murmured into Lenore's shoulder. "I know you have to, I know you will, but I don't want you to."Lenore soothingly rubbed her back. "It's going to be alright, Ava. Remember, I'm the infamous and intimidating Lenore Breslin. I'm so fearsome that your mate rushed to protect you when he saw me near Noah. They're all afraid of me. Even Peter.""That's what makes him even more dangerous. I just wish it didn't have to be you.""But it does, and that's alright," Lenore replied, breaking the hug. "This is what I'm meant to do.""Everything is changing so rapidly, but maybe it's meant to change," Ava pondered."I believe it is. And I'll let you in on a little secret that should bring some comfort. I have something special in my pocket," Lenore revealed.Ava cast her
