I quickly escape upstairs, feeling flushed and frazzled from Braden’s relentless attention. A path of rose petals leads me to the bathroom, where more petals float atop the steaming water, and the strong, heady scent of essential oils fills the room. The whole scene is breathtaking, but even as I take it in, I know I’m not ready to give in. He lied to me, hit me—one romantic gesture, no matter how elaborate, doesn’t erase that.

With a sigh, I strip out of my clothes, my skin warm from the wine and the candles’ glow. I slip into the hot water, hoping it will calm me, soothe the tension building inside. But instead, the heat only seems to heighten the stirrings I felt downstairs, amplifying every inch of sensitivity in my skin. Goddess, my body feels like it’s on fire, a tight, gnawing ache that refuses to go away.

Just think of something else. Unsexy thoughts, I tell myself, pressing my lips together to keep from calling out for Braden, to keep from begging him to come in and take me.

    He wants to savour the moment. I spread my legs slowly, feeling the coolness of the sheets against my skin. The room is filled with a soft, hazy light that casts shadows on our bodies.

    As the afternoon light filters in, I finally manage to rise, my body aching as if it’s been hit by a train. I groan, rolling over to find myself face to face with Braden’s side, his ribs rising and falling with each breath, and my eyes drift to his birthmark. It an unusal mark and I have never seen it at this angle before. Up close, it looks more like… teeth marks. The color is darker red nearly purple, almost angry, and the outline is distinct, as if something once sank into his skin and left a permanent reminder. My finger traces it lightly, feeling a subtle indentation, and I swear it matches the shape of a bite.Sensing I’m awake, Braden stirs, his hand catching mine as he plants kisses on my fingertips, one by one. “Finally, you’re up,” he murmurs his dark blue eyes glinting at me, rolling us over until I’m beneath him, his lips moving to my collarbone and then lower. His body feels solid and warm against mine, but the questions circling in my mind refuse to settle.“Braden,” I s

    When I come downstairs, the remnants of last night linger, a trail of red petals scattered across the floor and wax from burned-down candles pooled into solid puddles. The house feels heavy, thick with the memory of what happened. Braden is nowhere in sight, so I head to the kitchen, deciding to make myself a pot of tea to steady my nerves.Everything else has been cleaned up, and yet, last night’s intensity clings to me. I don’t like how out of control I felt, that desperate, clawing need. After learning Braden had been switching out my supplements, I can’t shake the suspicion that he’d slipped something into my drink. This morning, though, I feel more like myself, the haze worn off, and I’m grateful for it.I rake my fingers through my hair, waiting for the kettle to boil, trying to shake the memories of the night. Where is Braden? He couldn’t have gone out—unless he shifted. A dark thought edges in: did he go to see her? His mate? He doesn't have a mate! I shake it off, reminding m

    I release a shaky breath, clutching my robe tighter around me. My jaw throbs where his fingers bruised my skin, his words echoing in my mind, sharp and bitter.Anger, betrayal, and shame churn within me, a nauseating mix of emotions, but I force it all down, trying to focus on the opportunity in front of me. Braden is gone, and this might be my only chance to find answers.I move quickly toward his office, my steps urgent but cautious, every soft thud of my bare feet on the hardwood amplifying the coil of nerves tightening in my stomach.I stop outside Braden’s office, my hand hovering on the door handle, my breaths shallow and rapid. I feel exposed, violated—the memory of his touch from last night still lingers on my skin, a reminder of his power over me. He thinks he can do whatever he wants because I’m his wife. As if my body is no longer my own but for his needs. Each time he calls me his wife, the words feel like a sentence, trapping me in this house.I peek through the glass spy

    The small black box sits heavily in my hand, its contents sending a shock through me. Two teeth—long, sharp, unmistakably canine—gleam against the velvet interior. My pulse pounds as I stare down at them, a cold chill spreading through me. Why on earth would Braden have these? My mind races, piecing together fragments of memories, rumors, and whispered warnings.I can’t look away from the teeth, each one sinister in its perfection, preserved as if they hold some twisted significance. Are they trophies? A message? The image of Braden’s wolf flashes in my mind—larger than normal, powerful, almost too perfect. Are these his? Or… someone else’s? Why would he remove his? A thousand questions claw at me, each one darker than the last. My hands tremble as I close the box, securing the clasp and placing it back in its hiding place under the desk. I straighten up, my thoughts a tangled mess as I press a hand to my chest, feeling my heart race beneath my fingertips. Every nerve in my body scre

    The realization settles like a weight in my stomach. Every moment, every step, every glance — Braden is scrutinizing it all, piecing together a narrative in which I'm the unwilling protagonist. I feel trapped, the walls closing in with each passing second, his warning echoing in my mind.I force myself to breathe, steady and quiet, even though my heart thunders against my ribs. My eyes dart to the window, my one remaining escape route, but the prospect of fleeing feels as dangerous as staying. I clench my hands into fists beneath the blanket, grounding myself, staving off the rising panic.Think, Claudia. You can’t let him see you’re afraid.After a moment, I push back the covers and swing my legs over the edge of the bed, the cold floor grounding me. I rise slowly, moving to the closet to dress, my mind racing through possibilities, forming and discarding plans as quickly as they come.I tug on a sweater, the soft fabric feeling like a fragile shield. The unease twists tighter as I r

    I shiver as the cold breeze cuts through me, my eyes fixed on Braden. His gaze lingers on me, sharp and probing, and it takes every ounce of willpower to steady my breathing, to keep my hammering heartbeat from betraying me. The words echo in my mind like a drumbeat: He knows. He knows what I found in his study.Braden takes my hand, threading his fingers through mine with practiced ease. The press of his lips against the back of my hand sends a chill skittering down my spine. His soft smile feels out of place, disarming me completely. My nerves are frayed, the events of the past few days clawing at the edges of my sanity. And now this—the charming façade he wears like armor—is unraveling me further.“It’s time for bed,” he murmurs, pulling me close. His warmth, once comforting, now feels suffocating. I force myself to lean into him, to pretend I still belong in his embrace. But my mind races. I need answers. Does Braden have a mate? And what do my hospital records reveal?I just have

    Hours later, Braden’s steady snores fill the room, a sound that grates against my already raw nerves. I lie motionless beside him, my thoughts swirling. Mates are supposed to feel each other’s emotions. If he still had a mate, wouldn’t she sense his betrayal? That must mean he rejected her. But why, then, is the mark on his skin changing? Marks aren’t supposed to grow.Who is she? What did he say to her? What does she think of me?The thought of her burns in my mind. She must know. She must have seen it all—the pack functions where I stood by his side, the public kisses, the announcements of my pregnancy. The very thought makes me sick. How could she bear it? How could I?The bed dips as Braden shifts, his body pressing closer. He hooks a leg over mine, anchoring me to him, and I feel the weight of his control. Everything he does is deliberate, calculated. I can feel it now, see the cracks in the illusion. But what is his endgame? Why me?I was only seventeen when I met him, with no m

    Just as I step out of my office, a deafening siren slices through the air, signaling danger. The pack walls have been infiltrated.I sprint forward, my legs burning as I push myself faster. Over the hills of the pack grounds, swarms of warriors descend from all directions like a flood of shadows under the sun. Shit."Reid, make sure there's a team to get to Claudia!" I command through the mindlink, my voice edged with urgency. I don't need him to respond I need him to find her. Then, I shift, bones snapping and reforming as I surge into my wolf form. The moment my paws hit the ground, I charge toward the trees. The scent of rogue wolves fills my nostrils—wild, unhinged, bloodthirsty. Their snarls vibrate in the air, a chaotic symphony of hunger and rage.Two colossal gray wolves lunge at me, one veering left, the other right. A distraction. A trap. I keep my eyes sharp, scanning for a weakness. But I don’t wait for them to make the first move—I strike.I launch at the one in front of

    I wake with a jolt, a sharp twist in my gut telling me something isn’t right. The weight of the room presses down on me as I blink against the dim light filtering through the curtains. A few breaths pass before I realize—I’m still in the lounge. Memories from last night surface, fragmented and raw, but I shove them aside as an unsettling void tugs at my consciousness. Something is missing.Claudia.Panic doesn’t grip me immediately—her clothes are still here. For all I know, she could have just gone back to the room to shower. But then, my gaze snags on a note resting atop one of her shoes, and an icy dread coils around my spine.I knew something was off in the way she looked at me last night, but the moment her lips wrapped around my cock, nothing else mattered. Now, as I stare at the note in her elegant scrawl, I wish I had listened to my instincts.I crush the paper in my palm and hurl it into the dying embers of the fireplace, watching as the flames lick at it hungrily, turning he

    The ground vibrates beneath me as the rhythmic stomp of boots closes in. The troops march one by one toward my pack, their movements a relentless drumbeat of impending doom. If I make it out of this, Leo is going to kill me—for real this time—for going off on my own.Lying here in my cell, my body throbs with the pain of my own recklessness. What I thought was an act of bravery now feels like pure stupidity. I should have challenged Braden for the pack the second I was thrown into his tent. That was the plan. But it all went wrong. Horribly wrong.Barking orders ring out from the guards outside, their voices sharp and grating. I try to force through the haze of pain of the heat to reach Leo through the mind link, but it’s useless. I’m too weak. My breath catches as the flap of the tent rustles, signaling someone’s return. My heart pounds harder, slamming against my ribs. I want out of this cage, but I also don’t. The idea of someone finding me like this—vulnerable, helpless—is terrify

    "What did you just do?" I ask, my body igniting in seconds, heat flooding every vein. My vision blurs as sweat drips down my back. Braden sways in front of me, something small and glinting in his hand. My body wobbles as he lets me go, and I claw at my hair, fingers fumbling for the vial of liquid silver. My hands shake too much to grip it. I just can't reach it. "Heat serum. If you're going to act like a whore, then I'll treat you like one," he groans, voice thick with amusement.A smolder ignites between my legs, molten and all-consuming. Fuck. I don’t know how much he gave me, but my body betrays me instantly, my movements sluggish, my mind drowning in the haze of unbearable heat pulsing through my core.My fingers slip from my hair, every thought narrowing down to a single need—I have to get out of these leathers and this jacket. Too hot. Too tight. Every beat of my heart pumps more of the serum through my bloodstream, and my panties are already soaked. The thick scent of my arou

    I'm thrown onto an old wool rug, the rough fibers scraping against my bare hands. I sneer, because even in the midst of battle, Braden refuses to go without his creature comforts. Though a small part of me is grateful—at least I'm not being smushed into the dirt again.Several pairs of black boots surround me before two gleaming black brogues step into my line of vision. "Baby, is that really you?" His voice carries an almost genuine concern, but I know better. I adjust my position, craning my neck to look up at him.Those dark blue eyes are as cold as ever. But everything else is different. He’s massive, his muscles stretched tight over his frame as if he’s been pumping himself full of steroids. He could crush me like a bug."Braden... thank the goddess," I breathe, forcing bile down as I summon a few well-placed tears to trickle down my cheek. He's the one man that has haunted my dreams for months, I never wanted to see him again. I try to stop my body from shaking from fear grippin

    I make it to the top of the cliffside, my heart pounding like a war drum as the sun scorches my back. The air hangs heavy, thick with the kind of stillness that only comes before battle—that electric pause before chaos erupts. Even the birds have fallen silent.I tread carefully along the ridge, peering over the other side where their camp sprawls below. From here, I'm just far enough beyond our borders that no guards should detect me. I suppress my aura, unwilling to risk Braden sensing my presence. Lowering myself into a crouch, I inch forward until I can lie flat behind a boulder, my breath shallow, controlled.The camp is a storm of movement, warriors swarming in organized precision. Hundreds, maybe even thousands. It’s as if the entire New Moon Pack has assembled for this. My stomach tightens as I spot Uncle Leon moving through the front line, barking orders. So this is how the rogues are involved. Disappointment stabs through me. One of my father’s most trusted allies, now worki

    I wake up tangled in a mess of limbs on the floor, the fire now reduced to glowing embers, and a pleasant ache thrumming between my thighs. Leo lies beside me, his soft snores blending with the distant chirping of birds, signaling the break of dawn. Carefully, I peel myself away from where our bodies are molded together. I can’t wake him. Every movement is slow, calculated, as I inch my way free.Once I’m loose, I jump up, the dim morning light seeping through the curtains now that the candles have long since melted into pools of wax on the floor. My fingers fumble for a pen, hastily scrawling a note explaining where I’m going and why. He’ll be furious—I know it—but he’s my mate, and I will protect him no matter what. This way, at least, he’ll be mad but not worried. Or at least, I hope not.I sprint down the hallway, my bare feet slapping against the cold wooden floor. The scent of burnt-out wax lingers in the air, mingling with the remnants of last night. Clothes and forgotten items

    Her lips curl into a smirk that could make the devil himself drop to his knees, and I growl low in my throat, the sound rumbling through my chest like a predator stalking its prey. She’s mine— mine—and I’ll be damned if I don’t claim every fucking inch of her tonight. My fingers work at the clasp of her finery with a fury, tearing the fabric away like it’s an insult to her divine body. The sound of it ripping echoes in the dimly lit room, and her breath hitches, those jewel-blue eyes of hers flashing with a hunger that matches my own.Her curves are a fucking masterpiece, and as her attire falls to the floor, I take her in like a starving man at a feast. Her tits are perfect—full and heavy, the nipples already pebbled and begging for my mouth. I can’t help but reach out, my rough palms grazing over her soft skin, and she shivers under my touch. “Leo don’t tease me,” she begs but she will be begging far more before she gets what she wants. Her hips sway as she steps closer, her pussy s

    I pull back, giving Leo another slow, lingering smile. The fire crackles beside us, its flickering glow casting shadows over his sharp features, but worry still lingers in his eyes. I don’t want that. I refuse to let him carry it tonight.Biting my lip, I feel the undeniable pull between us, the electric charge humming in the space where our bodies almost touch. Leaning in, I brush featherlight kisses along his cheek, trailing down to his jaw. A low groan rumbles from his chest, his breath hitching as I shift, straddling his thighs. His hands find my chin, his grip firm yet reverent as he tilts my face to meet his.Then his lips crash into mine.The kiss is searing—possessive, commanding—like he’s trying to reclaim control, to remind me exactly who he is. I let him. My fingers thread through his thick, tousled hair, loving the way it feels against my skin, soft yet untamed. His tongue tangles with mine, the heat between us rising with every breath, every press of our bodies molding in
