OLIVIA’S POV

The water rippled around us, the silence heavy, charged. Lucien’s lips were still warm against mine, his breath uneven, his hands tight around my waist. He had kissed me back—hard, desperate, like he needed me as much as I needed him.

And yet, he was holding back.

I could feel it in the tension coiling in his muscles, the way his grip on me wasn’t as firm as it could be, as if he was restraining himself. As if he was trying to be decent.

That wasn’t what I wanted.

Not today.

Not after waiting for his touch on my body.

I wanted to drown in him, to let him consume me the way he had always done since our three years of marriage. I wanted to erase the space between us, to feel him in every way possible again.

I lifted my hands, threading them behind his neck, pulling him closer.

His sharp inhale was almost silent, but I caught it.

I pressed my lips to his again, slow this time, lingering, teasing. His fingers twitched against my skin.

Still, he didn’t stop me.

    LUCIEN’S POVThe water clung to Olivia’s skin, droplets chasing each other down her bare shoulders as she crossed her arms over her chest. The afternoon sunlight turned her damp skin gold, but my focus was elsewhere—on the bikini top that had vanished somewhere in the pool’s depths. I had searched from the corner of my eyes, scanned every ripple, but it was gone.I couldn’t remember where I’d discarded it when I took it off from her body earlier. There was no way I would let her go back into the house naked. She shifted, hugging herself tighter. “Lucien—” “I’ve got you,” I said, stepping toward her. Her eyes flickered with hesitation, but she didn’t move away when I closed the space between us. Gently, I reached for her, sliding an arm around her waist, feeling the heat of her against my skin. Her breath hitched as I lifted her, her legs parting instinctively to wrap around my waist. The moment she locked her ankles behind me, something primal stirred in my chest. Her body molded

    OLIVIA’S POV I laid there trying to catch my breath, my legs shaking vigorously from being fingered like a whore. “Are you tired?” Lucien asked in a whisper, his fingers trailing the tip of my nipples. “N..no, I’m not,” I replied, not minding my shaky legs. He scoffed, as that evil grin played on his face. “But your legs are telling a different story, baby…” he muttered, locking eyes with mine.Was I tired? Yes, I was. Would I stop because of my shaky legs? Hell, no I won’t. “That does not mean I’m tired, Lucien—”He quickly shut me up with his tongue swirling around my right nipple, while his fingers played on my clit. “Oh.. my gosh… fuck… yes…” I moaned, my lips pouting in esctasy. “Naughty girl,” he whispered into my ears as he pulled out his hands from my pussy, shoving his fingers into my mouth for me to have a taste of my own pussy juice. He leaned backward, staring at his probing dick. I sat up, my hands trailing on dick, it was big and attractive despite it being cov

    LUCIEN’S POVI stood there, chest heaving, staring into Olivia’s wild hazel eyes. Her lips, still glistening from where they’d been moments ago, curled into a wicked little smirk that set my blood ablaze. We were both bare as the day we were born, skin flushed and slick with sweat, the air thick with the scent of lust and pine from the forest beyond the cabin walls. My cock throbbed, aching for her, and I couldn’t wait another damn second.“Enough teasing,” I growled, stepping forward. My hands found her hips, fingers digging into her soft flesh as I yanked her against me. She gasped, her breasts pressing into my chest, nipples hard and begging for attention. I didn’t give her time to catch her breath. I lifted her clean off the floor, her legs wrapping around my waist like they’d been made to fit there. Her heat brushed against me, slick and ready, and I nearly lost it right then.“Lucien,” she purred, nails raking down my back as she arched into me. “Take my pussy. Now.”I didn’t ne

    DAMON’S POV Mayor Larry’s place was a squat, brick house on the edge of the settlement, all neat hedges and pretentious white shutters. I parked a block away, a habit making me cautious, and walked the rest of the distance. The sky was still bruising purple when I rapped my knuckles against his door. It swung open a heartbeat later, Larry’s thin frame filling the gap. His eyes widened, darting over my shoulder like he expected trouble to follow me in.“Alpha Damon,” he said, voice tight. “Didn’t expect you this early.”“Couldn’t wait,” I replied, stepping past him without invitation. The living room smelled of stale coffee and fear, the kind that clung to a man who knew too much. He shut the door quickly, locking it twice, and gestured to a threadbare couch. I didn’t sit—didn’t like feeling cornered.“What’s this about?” he asked, wringing his hands. His glasses slipped down his nose, and he shoved them back up, a nervous tic I’d seen a dozen times. “Is this about Alaric?”“You know

    NANA’S POVI slipped out of the house, the air cool against my skin as I tugged my shawl tighter. The sun was barely peeking over the trees when Olivia got a change of clothes and walked towards the pool house in search of Lucien. I’d seen her eyes as she walked away from me that morning—they were bright, eager, a spark dancing there—and I knew. I didn’t need to stick around to guess what would happen next. The moans, the groans, the mess they were going to leave trailing from the pool house to the bedroom—I’d lived too long to blush at it, but I wasn’t keen on hearing it either. So I stepped away, my boots scuffing the path as I wandered toward the old oak grove just beyond the property.I settled on a weathered bench, the wood creaking under my weight, and let my mind drift. Lucien filled my thoughts, his broad shoulders and haunted eyes, the boy I’d failed all those years ago. Archimedes—my brother—had stolen him, plucked him from his real family like a hawk snatching a rabbit. I

    OLIVIA’S POVI stirred awake, the weight of Lucien’s arm pinning me to the bed, his breath warm against my neck. Nana’s voice cut through the haze, sharp and commanding, pulling me from the fog of sleep. “Lunch is ready—get down here!” she’d hollered, her footsteps already fading downstairs. I slipped out from under him, the duvet sliding off my bare skin as I sat up, every muscle loose and humming. We hadn’t eaten all morning—too caught up in each other—and my stomach growled at the promise of food. I glanced at Lucien, still sprawled across the sheets, and stood, naked as the day I was born, my feet padding toward the bathroom.The door clicked shut behind me, the lock snapping into place, and I faced myself in the mirror. My reflection stared back—hair a wild tangle, lips red and bruised, a faint mark on my collarbone where Lucien’s hunger had left its claim. For the first time in months, I didn’t cringe. My body felt… right. Whole. Not just from the ache of exertion, but from him

    MAYOR LARRY’S POV: I had just returned back to my home after an unexpected visit from Damon. I stood at the floor-to-ceiling window of my penthouse, the city skyline glittering below like a taunt. My reflection stared back—gray streaks in my hair, lines etched deep around my eyes, a man hollowed out by hate. The tumbler of whiskey burned in my grip, the ice clinking as I swirled it. Werewolves. Filthy, treacherous beasts. They’d taken everything—Natalie, my sister, my peace—and left me with nothing but this gnawing need to see them bleed. Natalie’s face flickered in my mind, unbidden. Those wide green eyes, the freckles dusting her nose, the way she’d laughed as a kid, chasing me through our parents’ sprawling estate. Adopted, sure, but mine—my little shadow. Mom and Dad found her abandoned, a scrawny thing wrapped in rags, and raised her human. We didn’t know what she was until she hit eighteen, when the wolf broke through—claws shredding her prom dress, eyes glowing gold. She cou

  • The Luna's Tattoos   Chapter 86: Flames Unbound

    BEN’S POVI jolted awake, the afternoon sun slanting through the blinds, casting gold across my tangled sheets. My head throbbed, a dull ache from a night spent tossing, my mind gnawing at Olivia’s choices. She’d slept with Damon—Damon, of all people—when I’d been so sure her heart still belonged to Lucien. Three years of marriage, spilt by three measly months, and she’d told me everything after—how empty she’d felt, how the void lingered. As her best friend, I’d listened, nodded, believed she’d run back to Lucien the second their mate bond snapped into place. Yet here she was, tangled up with Damon too, and it felt like a knife in my gut. Betrayal, plain and simple, even if she didn’t see it that way. I rubbed my face, groaning as I sat up, the bed cold beside me. Aslaug had stormed out last night, fed up with my pacing, my muttering. “I can’t watch you obsess over her anymore,” she’d snapped, her dark eyes flashing before she grabbed her keys and left for her own place. I hadn’t b

    OLIVIA’S POVThe hospital room smelled of antiseptic and fresh cotton, the faint beep of the monitor steady as I sat up in the bed, my hands resting on the thin blanket, my body aching but alive. Five months had stretched since that night in the cavern, my belly now a gentle curve beneath the gown, the baby kicking soft against my ribs. Lucien stood by my side, his hand warm around mine, his dark eyes glistening with unshed tears, his thumb brushing my knuckles. Damien lingered near the door, his arms crossed, his jaw tight, the weight of the past days etched into his face. Alaric slouched in a chair, his boots propped on the frame, while Mara hovered near the window, her gaze soft but watchful.My chest tightened, my breath shallow as I looked between them, the words I’d held back for too long clawing their way up. I squeezed Lucien’s hand, my voice trembling but firm. “Damien, I need to say something.”He straightened, his hands dropping to his sides, his eyes meeting mine, steady

    DAMIEN’S POVThe hospital’s waiting room buzzed with a low hum, the fluorescent lights casting a sterile glow over the tiled floor where I stood, my boots scuffing the edge of a chair. Olivia lay beyond the glass doors, her breathing steady now, the doctors’ voices a faint murmur as they worked. Lucien sat beside her bed, his hand wrapped around hers, his shoulders hunched, tears glistening on his cheeks as he stared at her pale face. My chest tightened, a sharp pang twisting through me, jealousy flaring hot as I watched him—his fear, his love, raw and unguarded. Alaric sprawled in a chair nearby, his knife tucked away, his head tilted back, eyes shut, while Mara perched close, her gaze flicking between Olivia and the door.I leaned against the wall, my arms crossed, my jacket creaking as I shifted, the weight of it all pressing down. Lucien’s return had shifted everything—cracked open a truth I’d dodged for months. Olivia’s heart belonged to him, always had, and I’d known it deep dow

    LUCIEN’S POVThe cavern reeked of blood and ash, the air thick with the metallic tang of death as I knelt beside Olivia, my hands slick with her blood, her body limp against the cold stone. The Lunar Eclipse’s red glow faded overhead, the torchlight flickering weak across the carnage—bodies strewn everywhere, cultists torn apart, the original Alphas reduced to lifeless husks, Selene’s shattered form a pile of dust in the center. Natalie lay steps away, her chest still, her blood pooling dark under her, Olivia’s claws having ripped through her in that final, wild surge. My breath hitched, my fingers pressing against Olivia’s neck, her pulse faint but there, her mouth stained red, her eyes shut as she’d collapsed after screaming for her mother.Damien dropped beside me, his pistol clattering to the ground, his hands shaking as he gripped her shoulders, his voice raw. “Olivia, come on, wake up.” I pushed her hair back, my own hands trembling, her skin clammy under my touch, but she did

    NATALIE’S POVThe cavern pulsed with a low hum, the air thick with the scent of iron and damp stone as I sat chained to the jagged wall, my wrists raw from the iron biting into my skin. The Lunar Eclipse bathed the chamber in a sickly red glow, the light seeping through cracks in the ceiling, casting twisted shadows across the cultists’ hooded figures. Olivia slumped beside me, her pregnant belly straining against her shirt, her face pale and slick with sweat as the ritual began. The cult’s leader, Vladimir, a gaunt man with sunken eyes and a silver blade—stood over her, his voice rising in a guttural chant, the words foreign and sharp, slicing through the stillness.My heart pounded, my chains rattling as I strained forward, watching them carve symbols into the stone floor around her, their knives glinting in the crimson light. A bowl sat between us, its edges crusted with old blood, and they dragged a claw across Olivia’s arm, her gasp echoing as red welled and dripped into it. Pain

    DAMIEN’S POVThe pickup’s engine growled as I pulled into the cabin’s drive, the headlights sweeping across the gravel, cutting through the dusk’s heavy gray. Alaric slouched in the passenger seat, his boots propped on the dash, a half-empty beer can dangling from his fingers. We’d spent the day scouting the hills, chasing rumors of rogue wolves stirring trouble, but my mind kept drifting to Olivia—her pacing, her tears, the way she’d dodged my questions since Lucien showed up. The truck jolted to a stop, and I frowned, my gut twisting as her car came into view, parked crooked, the driver’s door hanging open.I climbed out, my boots crunching the gravel, the air cool and sharp against my skin. Groceries littered the ground—apples bruised and scattered, a milk jug leaking white into the dirt, a loaf of bread torn open by some critter. My pulse kicked up, my hands clenching as I scanned the yard, the cabin’s windows dark, the porch silent.“Olivia?” I called, my voice rough, bouncing of

    OLIVIA’S POVThe cabin’s wooden floor groaned under my restless steps, my socks sliding as I paced the living room, the late afternoon sun slicing through the blinds in thin, golden bars. Lucien’s visit three days ago clung to me—his eyes shattering at the sight of my four-month belly, his voice low with apology, the way he’d turned and left with Mara shadowing him. My chest throbbed, a steady ache I couldn’t shake, and I paused by the window, my fingers brushing the frayed curtain, my breath fogging the glass in short, uneven bursts. Damien’s boots scuffed the kitchen floor behind me, his shadow stretching long, and I spun, pasting on a smile as he leaned against the counter, his brow creasing with that quiet worry he’d worn lately.“You okay?” he asked, his voice soft, hands buried in his jean pockets, his dark hair falling into his eyes. “Been pacing like a caged wolf all day.”I nodded fast, my hand drifting to my stomach, the baby’s faint kick pressing against my palm. “Fine.

  • The Luna's Tattoos   Chapter 151: Homecoming

    LUCIEN’S POVSleep wrapped me tight, the familiar hum of the house in Pine Hollow lulling me deep, my body sunk into the mattress. Three months had passed since I’d come back—three months of road trips with Little Lucien, Dad’s gruff jokes, Mom’s warm meals, and I’d found a rhythm, a peace I hadn’t known in years. Nana’s stern face flickered in my dreams, Mara’s laugh too, and Olivia—always Olivia—her shadow lingering no matter how hard I tried to let it fade. Mom’s voice echoed too, soft but persistent, urging me to forgive her, to hear her out. I’d nodded, let the words settle, decided in my heart to let it go, but my boots hadn’t crossed back to New Orleans.A howl pierced the night—sharp, wild, yanking me awake. I bolted upright, my heart pounding, the sheets slipping to my waist. The sound cut through the stillness, a wolf’s cry I hadn’t heard since I’d left the pack behind. I swung my legs over the bed, the floor cold under my feet, and stumbled to the window, shoving the curtai

    OLIVIA’S POVDust swirled around the truck’s tires as Dad pulled into the clearing, the engine rumbling to a stop. I squinted through the windshield, my stomach twisting as the familiar jagged pines of Blood Wagon Park loomed ahead, their shadows stretching long in the late morning light. My hands gripped the seat, the leather creaking under my fingers, a chill creeping up my spine. I knew this place—too well—and Aslaug lived here, her presence a thorn I’d dodged for months. The last time we’d spoken, her voice had dripped with venom, accusing me of chasing Ben, her Ben, despite me swearing I’d never tried. That call with him two months back—his sharp words, our friendship cracking—had been the end. I’d stopped reaching out, letting the silence grow, but stepping into her territory now felt like walking into a trap.I turned to Dad, my voice tight, my foot tapping the floorboard. “I don’t want to be here. Let’s get out of here, please. I’m not comfortable.”He killed the engine, his

    DAMIEN’S POVThe bed jolted beneath me, Olivia’s scream slicing through the quiet night, her voice raw and jagged. I bolted upright, my heart slamming against my ribs, the sheets tangled around my legs as I reached for her. She thrashed, her eyes squeezed shut, sweat beading on her forehead, words spilling from her lips—guttural, strange, a jumble of sounds I couldn’t grasp. Her hands clawed at the air, nails digging into nothing, and I grabbed her shoulders, shaking her gently, my voice hoarse. “Olivia. Olivia, wake up.”Her eyes snapped open, wide and unseeing, black voids staring past me, her breath ragged. She shoved me off, scrambling for the nightstand, her fingers snatching a pen and a scrap of paper from the drawer. I froze, my hands hovering, as she hunched over, scribbling fast—sharp, jagged symbols, loops and slashes that meant nothing to me. “Olivia,” I said, louder now, leaning closer. “You okay? Talk to me.”She didn’t flinch, didn’t look up, her pen scratching louder, f
