Lihat lebih banyakI feel a squeeze on my hand as silence creeps in, thick and heavy like a storm about to break. Even Erin glances our way, her eyes narrowing as if she can see straight through me—like there’s a neon sign on my forehead flashing the word Lycan.The crowd shifts subtly, a ripple through the mass of bodies. I follow it with my eyes until I see him—a man at the back moving with unnatural smoothness, like a shadow cutting through the haze of murmurs and hushed breathing. One of the guards. I recognize him; he usually works the front gate, stopping intruders from ever getting this far.He’s coming closer. Step by step.My pulse thunders in my ears.Should I pull Claudia behind me? Should I shift? Should I fight?I count the seconds, heart pounding, my beast snarling just under the surface. Claudia’s grip tightens on my hand—iron strong. I couldn’t move even if I wanted to.The man climbs the stairs to stand before us. My beast pushes forward, hackles rising, claws itching to tear through
We’ve called a pack meeting, and nerves twist in my gut like a coiled serpent. Claudia told me to come clean—about who I really am. It’s not that I don’t want to. This has been my pack for years; it’s my home. I know these people. I trust them. They’ve had my back through everything. But knowing I’m a lycan means other packs might come for us. They always do. No one likes someone stronger, faster, who heals quicker than the rest. Envy breeds discontent, and I don’t want to paint a target on my back—not when we’ve finally found peace. Not when we are about to have a family. At the same time, we need to explain what’s happened—why Gaia and Reid have left the Blood Moon pack, and why we’ve both been missing for the last few weeks. I’m getting ready now, trying to tame my hair from where Claudia’s fingers pulled at it through the night. I smooth down my shirt, ensuring it’s pressed just right before tightening my belt.Claudia appears in the doorway, her long, dark hair cascading like in
She sucks me deep, taking me into her throat with a moan that vibrates through my entire body. Her tongue swirls around the sensitive head, lapping up the precum already leaking from me. Her hand works in perfect rhythm with her mouth, pumping and twisting as she sucks me off like it’s the only thing she’s ever wanted to do.“Fuck, love,” I growl, my hands tangling in her hair as I thrust into her mouth, fucking her face with a desperation that matches her own. She gags slightly but doesn’t pull away, taking every inch of me like a fucking champion. The heat of her throat squeezes me, and the pressure coils tight in my gut, my balls heavy and aching.But she’s not done yet.She pulls off my cock with a wet pop, her lips swollen and shining with spit as she crawls up my body. Her tits brush against my chest, soft and maddening, leaving streaks of heat on my skin. She kisses me deep, and I taste myself on her tongue—salty, musky, and so fucking her. She reaches between us, guiding my co
We make it back to the Blood Moon pack in record time. Claudia falls asleep early into the car journey, with Erin joining her shortly after. Erin snores the entire way home, the sound sharp and grating, but it keeps me awake.It may have taken us a long time to get here, but I know now—nothing is going to come between us again. We are having a pup. Something I hadn’t dared to dream of, especially so soon. After everything Claudia has been through—every miscarriage, every tear, every ounce of pain—I had no expectations. I was happy just having the two of us for a while. But now? Now, everything is different.It does put a slight hitch in my plans, though. I need to check the library to see if it’s still possible. I want to change Claudia into a lycan. It’s a grueling process and there are risks, but after the time I spent away from her—after how Braden altered her mind so she no longer recognized me—I can’t risk anything like that happening again. More than anything, I want time with h
The BBQ goes well — the pack loves Gaia, and maybe they always have. She’s been here from the beginning, after all. She is one of them. With Reid by her side, I know that whatever lingering trauma she carries, he will be there to catch her if she stumbles. The two of them are annoyingly cute together.Leo’s arms are wrapped around me as the five of us settle into the quieter part of the garden, drinks in hand, our bellies full — probably more than full. I swear we’ve eaten twice our body weight. The smell of smoked herbs and charred vegetables still hangs in the air, making my mouth water despite the feast. And I’m eating for two now, so there’s always room. At least that is my excuse.“I think I’m going to like it here,” Reid muses, scratching his chin. Gaia is draped lazily across his lap, gazing at him like he’s hung the moon itself. He toys with her wild hair, curling it around his fingers, and the two of them look so achingly content it almost feels like we’re intruding.“I guess
There is a pack BBQ being set up in the garden of the Alpha mansion. The intricate bushes, towering trees, blooming flowers, and the gentle trickle of the pond all add to the loveliness of the day, but there is a hum beneath it, something stirring beneath the surface. To my surprise, Gaia is already in the thick of it, directing where the marquee and BBQ station are to be placed. She even has a few guards digging up part of the garden for a hog roast, their shovels biting into the earth with sharp, rhythmic thuds. There’s a pep in her step as she waltzes through the preparations, her eyes scanning every detail to make sure the decorations are just to her liking.I can’t help but wonder if everyone in the pack is secretly relieved now that Braden is gone — or if Gaia is using her persuasion magic to ease them into the transition. I can’t be sure. The energy feels too smooth, too compliant. But perhaps I am overthining it. When she spots me walking across the lawn, she runs toward me,
I smile softly as Gaia and Reid wander off. I still can’t believe she got her canines back, but I guess Reid’s mark healed her in ways none of us could have imagined. A quiet calm settles over the house, threading through the pack like a tentative sigh of relief.Erin leads a few guards upstairs to remove Braden’s body, their footsteps heavy and deliberate. Leo, on the other hand, stays by my side, unmoving, unwavering.It’s over. And yet, one more thing hangs over us like a storm waiting to break.“What’s the matter, love?” Leo asks, gently turning me to face him. His touch is soft, but the sight of him standing in this house—it’s too much. My stomach churns. I blink, but the past floods in anyway: flashes of him as a slave, his skin beneath the whip, Braden's twisted grin hovering behind my eyes. I swallow thickly.“I just want to go home,” I whisper, and it’s true—though not the whole truth.We wander down the hall, the quiet pressing in on us, until we reach the lounge. We hardly
He picks me up, throwing me over his shoulder like some brute — which I secretly love, judging by the girlish squeal that escapes me. Water drips from both our bodies, leaving a trail on the floor as he carries me to the bed. Without hesitation, he tosses me onto the soft sheets, and I bounce slightly, breathless.He lifts one of my feet, and to my shock, begins to suck and nibble on my toes. When did I ever tell him I liked this? Yet, the moment his tongue licks along my arch, sharp and wet, I feel my juices practically gush out of me.“Reid,” I moan, desperate and trembling, as he bites down harder on my toe, sending a wicked jolt straight through me. My heart races. I barely have time to swallow before he crawls up my body, slow and deliberate, pinning both my wrists above my head with one strong hand.“Say when, baby girl,” he whispers against my neck, his hot breath making my skin prickle.“Huh?” I manage, but the question dies on my lips as he parts my legs and presses the thick
I lick his mark, sealing it shut as I stare into those perfect blue eyes. “I guess this makes you my Luna, huh?” I murmur, breathless, completely undone as his arms tighten around me, his big hands firmly gripping my ass, holding me like I’m the only thing that matters.“Call me whatever you want, baby girl, as long as I’m yours,” he purrs, voice deep, heavy with possession—and oh goddess, I am gone. Liquid heat pools between my thighs, my body already buzzing for him.“Gaia,” Claudia calls, waving me over. I barely manage to glance her way, but Reid doesn’t even flinch, as if she doesn't exist. We both feel it—the primal need pulling us together. “Um, we’ll see you in the morning, yeah?” I mumble, eyes locked on my mate. Claudia just laughs, teasing, as she shoos everyone away, promising tomorrow’s celebration for the new Alpha and her mate.Reid doesn't wait. His arms tighten and he carries me up the stairs like I'm weightless. I have no idea where he’s taking me, and I don’t care.
My lungs burned as I stumbled through the dense underbrush, the wild throb of my heartbeat pounding in my ears along with the sound of my feet over the uneven ground of the dark woods. Moonlight filtered in thin shafts through the canopy above as I desperately tried to make my way back home. Each step was a struggle, my body wracked with agonizing pain with every stride.A shadow flickered at the corner of my vision. There was someone else here, in the center of New Moon Pack's territory. A soft crush of dead leaves, the snap of a twig underfoot had my head spinning to see who was behind me. Yet each time I searched, they disappeared before I could catch a glance of who it was.The branches and trees seemed to reach out to grab me with their spindle-like fingers, slowing me down as if trying to stop me from making my way home. From getting away from whoever hunted me. I didn’t know who it was, but this was my pack, my home. Whoever was following me wasn’t from here—someone had breache...
