I follow Reid as we head past the training ground. My fists clench at my sides, and it takes everything in me not to turn around and kiss her. For a moment, I swear she wants to kiss me too. She’s going to be my complete undoing—I feel it deep in my bones.

The memory of her body pressed against mine lingers, and after so long of her ignoring me, the nearness is too much. I watch her during training, the fluid way her body moves. She’s regaining her strength. Pride swells in me as I watched her best Erin. The way her face lights up with that triumphant smile makes me want to kiss her until her lips are numb. I drag the back of my thumb across my brow, trying to pull myself together. I have to keep my wolf on a tight leash before he does something reckless. He’s going feral being near her, and as much as I crave her, this isn’t the time to let him take over. He will ruin it for the both of us.

Still, Erin's words gnaw at me. I should have brought it up sooner. Erin has no clue what she

    I head to my room, stripping off the rest of my clothes before stepping into the shower. The hot water beats down on my shoulders, loosening the knots that have settled deep into my muscles. Steam coils around me, but even the heat can't burn away the tension crawling beneath my skin. I can’t begin to understand someone like Braden – twisted, calculating. What else is he capable of? The thought makes my stomach twist. All I know is that I have to make sure she isn’t the person he’s she once was anymore.I dry off quickly, slipping into fresh clothes while I check my phone. A few messages flicker across the screen, and I fire off a quick text to Erin, telling her to keep her mouth shut around Claudia. I’m taking over her training. The scout being here leaves me no choice. Erin replies almost immediately, and I can feel her disappointment through the screen. I get it. She’s put in the work. But this is different. I’ll still let her handle some things, but not this. This is too dangerous

    Claudia sprints down the hallway, the soft patter of her feet echoing against the wooden floors. Her towel flutters, barely clinging to her as she rounds the corner. I’m right behind her. She thinks she can outrun me.She’s wrong.I stay close enough to let her believe she has a chance. The way her muscles tighten beneath the thin fabric, the quick rise and fall of her breath—I watch it all. She glances back, and our eyes meet for a heartbeat. That flicker of determination ignites something in her, but it won’t be enough.I lunge.Claudia shrieks, twisting at the last second. She slips into an empty room, slamming the door behind her. I hear the thud of her body pressing against it, breath ragged, heart racing. A slow smile tugs at my lips.“Really?” I lean against the frame, knocking lightly. “Hiding? That’s the best you’ve got?” It's good but it won't stop the New Moon pack from taking her. “Leave me alone, Asher,” she huffs. “I need to get dressed.”I prefer training this way. Nak

    I lie on the floor, watching Asher walk away. A whimper escapes me as a single tear slides down my cheek. What am I thinking? The look on his face ... something twists painfully inside me, tight and unforgiving. I don't know what happened. He's the one who chased me down in nothing but a towel, the one who insisted on spanking me like some naughty child. And now he's surprised to find out I liked it.I'm torn between getting up and screaming at him for leaving me like this or finishing the job myself. Shame digs its claws deeper, and I wish I hadn't said those words out loud. I hadn't meant to it just happened.It was the way he touched me, the way his eyes roamed my body. Every brush of his skin felt like a hundred sparks igniting. The thought of his head between my thighs was too much—too vivid. I hadn't meant to say it. I only meant to think it. But it slipped out.Now I shudder, the rough fabric of my jumper scraping painfully against sensitive skin. My nipples ache, pressing agai

    Training arrives the next day, and to my horror, it’s Asher waiting for me—not Erin. Oh goddess, how am I supposed to get through this after what happened yesterday?“Morning,” he greets, handing me a cup of coffee. I take a sip, my eyes widening slightly at the familiar hint of chocolate. Huh. So he knows how I like my coffee. That doesn’t mean anything. And clearly he is just going to pretend yesterday didn't happen. “Where’s Erin? I thought I was training with her,” I ask, scanning the area, hoping for a flash of red hair in the distance. He studies me carefully before responding. “She’s got other things to handle. I’ll be taking over your training from now on.” His tone leaves no room for argument as he leads me toward the sparring ring. I quickly swipe my phone and send Erin a message. My heart hammers in my chest because after yesterday this is the last thing I want. A heads up would have been nice.I shove the phone back into my pocket before he notices. Stepping into the ri

    I spin, heart hammering against my ribs as the growl slices through the trees. Where is it coming from? Shit. I don't even know where I am. The woods press in around me, unfamiliar and vast. My breath comes shallow, and just as I take a step back, a blur of dark brown fur lunges toward me.I scream, the sound tearing from my throat and vanishing into the dense forest. Will anyone hear me? Or is this it?Before I can brace myself, I hit the ground hard, the sting of pine needles pricking my skin. A flash of red fills my vision.“Got you!” Erin’s laughter breaks through, wild and carefree. Her face hovers above mine, strands of her hair catching on my lips. I groan, shoving her off as the stitch in my side twists painfully.“Yeah, you did, you bitch. I can’t even breathe!” I rasp, rolling onto my knees.Erin cackles and holds out a hand, her grin wide and unrepentant. I scowl as I take it, pulling myself up.“You're always naked.” I shake my head at her bare skin, trying to sound exaspe

    Erin leaves, and I head to my room to change. I nod to the guards as I pass by, their eyes tracking me with quiet vigilance. The cool metal of the handle chills my palm as I push open the door to my balcony. The ocean stretches endlessly before me, the waves whispering against the rocks below. But the view does little to settle the restlessness curling in my chest. The walls feel too close, the air too thick. I can't stay here, not when the silence presses in like a weight.Asher left me a bank card after our last shopping trip. As his apprentice, I have a line of credit to spend on whatever I need. I sling a bag over my shoulder, my fingers curling around the card as if holding it alone gives me freedom. I step out, eager to lose myself in the town, to rediscover who I am and what still matters to me.The moment I reach the pack center, the hum of life envelops me. The air brims with the rich scent of freshly baked bread and warm cinnamon rolls, each inhale grounding me in the presen

    “Thank you, ladies, but I should—”“Don’t worry, dear. We meet every Tuesday if you want to join us again,” Tilly offers, and I catch them elbowing each other with knowing glances. Warmth spreads across my cheeks, and I feel the blush rise despite myself.“Thank you. I will,” I reply, placing down the tangled mess of knitting that's no good to anyone. I bid them goodbye and slip away, deciding to follow the path where I saw Asher and the old man disappear. His scent lingers in the air, sharp and distinct, cutting through the others like a beacon. It pulls me forward, as if guiding me with invisible strings.I trail along the riverbank, heart beating a little faster as I spot them ahead. The old man and Asher laugh together, and something inside me softens at the sound. Asher's laugh is deep, unguarded, the kind that makes the corners of his eyes crinkle. I linger, savoring the rare moment, wishing to hear it again.The sun dances over the water as we cross the bridge to the other side

    I tilt my chin up and square my shoulders. “I’m not following you,” I say softly, stepping closer. His eyes crinkle at the corners, his smirk deepening as if he knows something I don’t.“Oh?” His voice is low, rich, and it hums in the small space between us as he closes the distance even further.The warmth of his body curls around mine like an invisible embrace, and I bite my lip, something electric unfurling deep inside me. Asher’s gaze flickers, too full of confidence, and I know he’s heard every word Sabrina and I exchanged.“Because it felt a lot like you were following me, love.” His voice drops to a husky murmur. One more step and there’s almost nothing left between us but the air we share.I let my head tilt, hair spilling like silk over my shoulder. A coy smile tugs at my lips as I flutter my lashes. “I really have no idea what you’re talking about.”His smirk softens, melting into something darker, more intimate. He leans down, and his breath ghosts against my ear, a whisper

    Epliogue Part 2Thirty Years LaterToday is the day Grey finally moves out of the castle. My youngest is ready to explore the world on his own. None of the other kids have moved far, not really. But this feels different. This is him leaving. He won’t be under our roof anymore. And even though we have centuries together, it doesn’t make this any easier. My heart still aches at the thought of his absence echoing through the halls.What doesn’t help is the fact that Gaia and I both believe his mate is her daughter, Summer. Which means he’ll be hours away from us, living at the New Moon Pack. Gaia and Reid are thrilled at the idea. Honestly, I sometimes suspect Gaia’s been nudging fate with her magic… except her spells have no effect on Summer, and Grey never seems to react to any of Gaia’s not-so-subtle hints that they should mark each other.Summer and Grey have been inseparable since they were little. Every year, we’d spend the summers with the New Moon Pack, or Gaia, Reid, and Summer w

    Epilogue Ten Years LaterThose years with Braden feel like nothing more than a distant memory. There was a time I couldn’t imagine being happy or free like I am now. That’s not to say the nightmares don’t still come—those nights I jolt awake in a cold sweat, heart racing, lungs gasping for air as if I’m still trapped in that hell. But all it takes is a glance into the storm-grey eyes of my mate, and the past fades like smoke. I’m here. I’m safe. It’s over.The last ten years pass in a blur. It’s only when our son arrives that I truly feel the weight of all the children I lost. Pregnancy, as joyful as it is, terrifies me. I dread something going wrong, haunted by the possibility that Braden’s poisons still lurk in my blood, waiting to strike. That's really when the nightmares came once again. The birth is… intense. I’d like to say it went smoothly. But Leo, on the other hand? I see clumps of his thick dark hair littering the hospital floor by the time the nurse is telling me to push.

  • The Lost Alphas Daughter   Claudia

    Things are finally settling down and becoming normal again. Leo and I work hard, but we play hard too. It’s exactly how I always pictured my life would be when I was younger—only now, it’s my reality.“There you are, baby. I’ve been looking for you.”I’d know that voice anywhere. Every hair on my arms and along my neck prickles to attention. My stomach drops.“No… no, you’re dead.” I whisper because it's the only thing that makes sense. I spin around, heart thundering in my chest. He stands there—Braden—his dark blue eyes gleaming with a sinister glint, his wolfish grin carved across his face like a predator who’s already won. I know that look too well now. Nothing good comes from that look. He strolls toward me, each step slow, measured, powerful. I stumble backward until the wall presses into my spine. My breath stutters. It doesn’t make sense. He’s dead.He stops just in front of me, reaching out to toy with a strand of my hair. His fingers are deceptively gentle until they tight

    I 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

  • The Lost Alphas Daughter   Claudia

    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,
