Arthur Arthur was a married man now. And he was going to be a father. He couldn’t believe his dreams had come true. The Moon Goddess must have truly blessed him. That was the only thing that could explain everything that had happened.It was a complete miracle that he and Almara had stumbled into one another on that cruise ship. His grandmother may have been the one to nudge her in that direction, but there was no way she could have orchestrated the night that they met. Or that Almara’s dickhead of a boyfriend would spend all of her money.
AlmaraI walked into Arthur's office, not bothering to knock. I had expected him about twenty minutes ago for dinner, but he hadn't showed up. So I put on my big girl pants and went to fetch him.I did not expect to see Arthur's father sitting across from the desk, Nor did I expect to see Arthur chugging some disgusting looking drink from a nondescript bottle. When his eyes fell on me, I could see the guilt in them."What was that?" I asked nervously. Every instinct in me screamed that whatever was in that bottle wasn't good. Nothing Roman brought could eve
It had been five days since Arthur collapsed. It had taken a full day for the staff and doctors to convince me that Arthur wasn't dead. He was just in a magically induced coma. His soul was far away, fighting a battle that we couldn't help him win.Every day and every night, I was at his bedside. Just like I had been when he was recovering at the hospital. I was terrified to leave. I was so afraid that if I left for even a minute, something would happen that I could have prevented if I'd only just been there.I had staff bring me food and water. I took extremely quick shower
"What?" I asked stupidly, not sure I had heard him right. It had sounded like he said 'mate,' but that couldn't possibly be it. I wasn't that lucky. I had never been blessed by the Moon Goddess. Honestly, I had often wondered if she had forgotten about me."You're my mate," Athur repeated, a wide grin on his face. He winced as he pulled himself into a seated position."What?" I asked again because I honestly could not comprehend what I was hearing.Do you know any word other than 'what'? Y
It was the next morning and the day of the wedding. I was fully expecting the seamstresses that we had worked with before to bring an off the rack dress so imagine my surprise when I unzipped the bag to find the dress that I designed.I looked at them, my eyes wide. "How did you get this? I thought it was gone forever."They smiled warmly at me. "Alpha weddings can tend to be more…unpredictable than other weddings. We always make a spare just in case something happens."I nodded. That made sense. Every wedding involving an alpha that I had ever heard of or seen on TV had usua
Neither of us knew what to expect from the consummation of the mate bond. Fated mates were extremely rare and the ones that we did know about kept their sex lives to themselves. All we did know was that it was going to be intense.After we had given each other our marks, we’d both gotten pretty nervous. The mate bond was thrumming with power, enticing us to complete it. But we had agreed to slow down, to enjoy the night. Once the bond was consummated, nothing would be the same.I traced my fingers over the mark I had given Arthur. I had never given one before, not even with Robert. It had never seemed like the right time. I had always found an excuse not to
Married bliss was completely underrated. I didn’t think that I could ever be this happy. I really felt like I was floating around Arthur’s house on a cloud. Or I guess it was my house now too. That was a weird thought.But I honestly couldn’t see how it could get any better. At least not until Arthur came running into my art studio, a wide grin on his face. I barely had time to stand up to greet him before he pulled me into arms and swung me around.I giggled, wondering what had put him in such a good mood. When we stopped spinning, he dropped to his knees and put his head against my baby bump, listening to the baby’s heartbeat.
DanaThe baby announcement and gender reveal had been nauseating. She swore that the new luna didn’t have a creative bone in her body. Under the Sea? Seriously? It was so freaking basic. There was literally nothing special about her.What’s worse is that she had to put it all together. Dana had fought so hard not to vomit over everything. If she were luna, she would have done something unique, something that had never been done before. Not some high school prom bullshit.And the fact that Arthur had seemed to enjoy all of it was completely unimaginable. So what if they w
