-Roman-My mate was difficult to convince. Even though I had shared a bit about my past and my feelings regarding the crown, she still seemed uncertain about agreeing to this. I understood that she didn’t like these sorts of things. I wasn’t the biggest fan either. I hoped I wouldn’t have to throw another party until… well, until I had a child! Then I would throw one, but that could be a while. Lycans had a hard time reproducing. Still, I began to wonder: since I had a werewolf mate, would it be easier to have a child?“What?” she asked, crossing her arms. “What are you thinking about?”“Just what our child would look like,” I replied.“What?” she shouted, trying to stand up, but I grabbed her and pulled her down again.“Easy, love,” I said.“Roman! We’re working! We’re not thinking about children now,” she insisted.“Why? Do you not want any?” I inquired, feeling a little worried now.“It’s not… I don’t know… I have never…”“You’ve never thought about it?” I pressed.“Well, I never th
-Anastasia-I wasn’t sure how I would survive another party, but if this was my ticket to get the answers I needed, I would simply have to suck it up. However, I wasn’t sure I would survive what I knew I had to do, and I had never really thought about what came after.What do we do after? If we survive?“I’m not sure,” I whispered, glancing over at Roman, who was focused on his work.I sat on a couch at the other end of the room, not doing much except organizing a few tasks he had assigned me.You know what we might do afterward? Sierra asked.What?My wolf drew my eyes back to Roman, and I realized what she was suggesting.Wait… what?If we have our revenge, is there any reason to keep fighting? she inquired.Wouldn’t we still hate lycans? I countered.Maybe… But he is our mate.Has he won you over? I asked.Hasn’t he won you over? Or did you forget about what just happened between you two moments ago?I did that to feel better!Exactly! He makes us feel better… Shouldn’t we allow our
-Roman-“But you know… we might not have any,” Ana said.I looked at her, surprised.“It’s hard for lycans but also for werewolves. My mother had a really hard time having my brother. No one thought she would have another child, and my dad and she tried for a good few years before she finally had me. I know that wasn’t easy for her either. She called me a little miracle when she finally had me,” my mate told me. “So just… be prepared. I might not be able to carry more than one, or there might not be any at all.”I smiled at her and nodded before I kissed her lightly, wanting to ensure she felt I wasn’t at all worried about this. Her eyes were hazy with desire when I pulled back, and I loved the look on her face.“I’m aware,” I told her. “I’ve considered this too. But know, Ana, that I only really want you to be happy and healthy. If we don’t have kids, then we don’t have kids. If we have many, then we have many.”“We have a max of three,” she said, pointing at me before we both chuckle
-Roman-I woke up the next morning to find my mate in my arms. Goddess, I knew it had only been a few days, but having her there was amazing. Ana was sleeping soundly, wearing my t-shirt again. I turned to my mate and kissed her lightly. It wasn’t enough to wake her, and I smiled mischievously as I began kissing my way down her neck, lifting the t-shirt higher before pushing the blanket aside.Ana began to moan and stir as I kissed my way down her stomach. I had only lifted the t-shirt to just below her beautiful breasts, and she was still wearing her panties. Those really have to go, I thought. I smiled as I began pulling them off her, and Ana opened her eyes, a smile on her lips, as I positioned myself between her legs, kissing my way down her stomach before finally finding that sweet spot.Ana moaned and leaned her head back as I licked her, taking my time and driving her crazy. She began to move restlessly, the pleasure making it hard for her to stay still, and I smiled as I looked
-Anastasia-After we left the bed, changed, and cleaned up, we went down to eat breakfast. Roman convinced me to join the others. While the lycans said little, I could feel their skepticism about my presence. I refused to let them intimidate me, though, meeting the eyes of those who dared to look at me. They seemed impressed, and to my surprise, their skepticism faded as they returned to their conversations. I glanced around, confused, before my eyes landed on Roman, who was smiling.He leaned closer, taking my hand. “I think you just proved to them why you’re a perfect fit for me,” he whispered.“What do you mean?”“Not all wolves can look a lycan in the eye, but you just did it with several,” he said, his expression one of genuine admiration. “That’s exactly what my mate and queen should be able to do.”He leaned in and kissed my cheek, still impressed. I felt a little embarrassed and looked down, focusing on the food. My thoughts quickly returned to my promise to him, but it was bec
-Roman-“That was an awful shot,” I told my mate as she leaned over the pool table.After our long walk, we’d come back, poured ourselves some drinks, and decided to play a game of pool. Ana, however, had no real talent for it.“I never claimed to be a pro,” she said, looking at me with annoyance.“Sore loser?”“Annoyed loser,” she replied.I chuckled and shook my head before leaning over the table to make a perfect shot, which made her roll her eyes. I wasn’t going easy on her. She’d have to learn the hard way. I was close to winning—all I needed was to sink the eight ball. I lined up my shot, but just as I was about to take it, she blocked the hole with her hand. Our eyes met, and she smiled mischievously. I slowly straightened up, placing one hand on the table, tapping a finger against it.“That’s called cheating,” I told her.“Oh?” she teased.“And there’s a punishment for cheating.”“I don’t remember that in the rules,” she said with a wink.I set my cue against the table and went
-Roman-While I, of course, had work, I didn’t spend much time apart from my mate. Some days, she would explore the area, and we wouldn’t see much of each other until we went to bed, where we shared our nightly ritual before sleeping. But in the days leading up to the party, she often joined me in the office as we went over what she would help manage. There was a time when queens weren’t that involved, but my parents had both been great rulers who worked together. I wanted the same partnership with my mate, and I could see her changing over the days we spent together. She was coming out of her shell, slowly joining the conversations around the dining table.I noticed my pack members warming up to her, finding her intriguing. It warmed my heart, and I believed she was becoming less nervous about the upcoming party. She even showed interest in the pack’s affairs, offering her own suggestions. We were working well together, but when it was just the two of us—no king, no queen, no alpha, n
-Roman-I watched my mate as she gazed at herself in the mirror. Tonight, she wore a stunning dark purple dress that fit her perfectly. Yet, I could see the nervousness etched on her face.“You look amazing,” I said.“You think so?”I stepped closer, wrapping my arms around her from behind and kissing her scarred shoulder. I always made sure to give her scars plenty of attention so she knew they didn’t bother me.“Definitely.”“You don’t look so bad yourself,” she teased.I playfully bit her shoulder before pulling something from my pocket and holding it up in front of her. It was a silver necklace adorned with two small pendants—a crown and a moon. She looked at it, appearing shocked, then turned around.“What?” I inquired.“Is that for me?” she asked, still taken aback.“No, I was going to wear it myself.”She raised an eyebrow, and I chuckled.“Yes, of course, love.”She reached out to touch it, looking almost apprehensive. But then she let out a joyful giggle and turned, pushing he

-Daphne-Two years later.“Jackson?” I called as I walked into my mate’s office. We often spent time together in this space, but I had woken up late today. He lifted his head and smiled at me, his expression brightening as I entered.“Hey,” he replied, his smile growing wider the closer I got.I walked around the desk, grinning playfully. As he reached for me, trying to pull me closer, I playfully moved away, leaving him looking puzzled.“Can’t I touch you now?” he chuckled.“Not yet.”“Oh, are we playing?”“Yup, my own little special game," I admitted.“Is that the game where you tease me mercilessly with your mouth and tongue?” he asked with a smirk.“No," I replied.“Where you strip and drive me crazy?”“Nope.”“I’m getting confused now,” he said, making me laugh. “What kind of game are we playing?”“A guessing game," I revealed.“Okay,” he replied. “Is there a prize for me to win?”He smiled mischievously, and I nodded.“I’m all in, then," he said.“Tell me the first thing that com
-Jackson-Daphne had her fears, but after I recovered and her parents received a proper sentence locking them away for years, she stepped up to the role of luna. I had never seen her flourish like this before. It was as if a hidden side of her had been waiting to emerge, ready to show what she could truly accomplish. We offered the pack members a choice, and almost everyone preferred to merge rather than remain independent.Daphne and those who chose to join her moved to our territory, but she still retained ownership of her parents’ former land and house. She made it clear that anyone who wanted to stay could do so, but they would remain under both our control. Everything was going great between us.I watched from a distance as my mate returned from a late run. Daphne smiled brightly as she saw me on the porch, and I pulled her closer, kissing her deeply.“Hey,” I whispered.“Missed me?” she chuckled.“Very much. We hardly do anything but work lately,” I admitted.“Yeah, what else sho
-Daphne-Jackson had to undergo minor surgery, but the doctor assured me he would recover quickly. It wasn’t long before he woke up, and all of us were there for him. His eyes found me first, and he smiled sweetly.“Hey,” he whispered.“How are you feeling?” I asked.“Sleepy.”“Yeah, the drugs are wearing off slowly.”“Mmm, wonderful,” he murmured.Jackson’s parents moved closer, and I let them have a moment with him as I motioned for Roman to follow me out into the hallway. We stopped a little further away from the others.“I can’t believe they did this,” I said, my voice low but fierce.“How do you want to handle it?”“I want them in jail until they die! If I weren’t such a peaceful person, I would hunt them down myself and end them!”Roman smiled at me, a proud look on his face. Confused, I glanced at him.“What?” I asked.“I just never heard you speak about them like that before.”“Yeah, well, they haven’t tried to kill my mate before. Those bastards!”He nodded slightly. “I will m
-Jackson-I was on the ground, bleeding and completely beaten. I had fought before—had my fair share of bruises and close calls—but this felt personal. The pain was different. I wasn’t sure how many had attacked me, but the unmistakable scent of lycan filled the room, signaling that these were no ordinary wolves. I had managed to take down one of them, who now lay motionless not far from me, but the others loomed above, and I couldn’t understand why they had stopped kicking me.But suddenly, the door opened, and I saw polished shoes approaching. Straining to keep my eyes open, I let them wander up to see Daphne’s father standing before me.“You’ve caused me a lot of problems,” he accused.I tried to speak, but all I could do was cough up blood.“I need to have you removed so I can bring my daughter home.”Hadn’t he already tried to ruin her with those rumors? Why would he want to kill me now?“She… is… mine,” I croaked.“Not for long.”I watched in horror as one of the others handed hi
-Jackson-Daphne was initially scared as we began to dance, but when I asked her what it mattered what other people thought, something shifted in her. She started to enjoy our night. I led her through two dances before we finally joined the party and began to mingle.Not many people wanted to talk to us, but I knew some individuals would never be swayed. They thrived on drama and reveled in the rumors, but we wouldn’t let that bother us. Daphne and I were happy together, and nothing could ruin that.“I see my parents,” Daphne mumbled as she sipped her drink.After a while, we had retreated to the bar to enjoy some time together.“You want to talk to them now?” I inquired.I knew it was the smart move, but Daphne shook her head.“Not yet.”“Well, how about you wait here while I go to the bathroom for a moment, and then we can face them?” I suggested.“Yeah, let’s wait a little. I’ll be right here,” she assured me.I leaned closer and kissed her before downing my drink, then I walked awa
-Daphne-Jackson came up behind me as I stood in the closet, fully dressed. He kissed my neck, filling me with a sense of calm and security as I felt his powerful body pressed against mine. I let out a soft moan as he kissed the mark on my shoulder.My dress was sleeveless and strapless, and my hair was up, making it clear to everyone that I was taken. I knew this pleased my mate immensely. It was a silent statement to anyone who dared to approach me. I squeezed his hands on my stomach before turning around to face him.“You ready?” he asked.“Not really,” I admitted.“Why not?”“I’m so nervous. I’ve never stood up to them before.”He smiled softly and kissed me. “You’re not alone.”I smiled back, finally noticing how incredibly handsome he looked in a suit. I ran my hands down his arms and back up, and I knew he noticed the shift in me.“Like what you see?”“Very much,” I confessed.“You look amazing too,” he complimented, making me grin wider as warmth flushed my cheeks.“I love you,
-Jackson-Later in the evening, as rain began to pour, my family gathered in one of the living rooms. It was just my parents, Daphne, Ana, Roman, and me. We sipped drinks, munched on snacks, and chatted, and I genuinely enjoyed being there with them. I loved them all so much, and when I turned to look at my mate, I felt it in my heart too. I was falling for Daphne.“So, when are you heading home?” I asked Ana.“Oh, you want to get rid of me that fast, huh?” she teased.We all chuckled.“Just asking,” I replied.“No, you’re trying to kick me out,” she teased.I shook my head, but she finally turned serious. “No, we’re going home tomorrow to start setting everything up for the party.”“It’ll be the party from hell,” Daphne said.“No, it’ll be fine,” Roman assured her.“Is there anything special we should be prepared for?” my mother inquired.“Just that my family can be mean,” Daphne said.“We all need to be confident and relaxed,” Roman advised. “It wouldn’t surprise me if the rumors hav
-Daphne-Roman and I walked side by side outside. Jackson and Ana had decided to spend some time together after Roman asked if he could have a moment with me. I was grateful he had asked because I had missed my friend and needed his guidance.“So, how is it going?” Roman asked.“It’s… good,” I replied, searching for the right word. Even “good” couldn’t fully capture how wonderful I felt.When Roman noticed the smile on my lips, he began to smile too. “You look better.”“Better?” I echoed.“Taller,” he said.“Yeah, Jackson brings out something in me,” I admitted, feeling a rush of warmth at how my mate was transforming me for the better.“I wish I could have done more for you,” he said. “Being my queen was supposed to be your escape, but then Ana appeared, and you had to go home again.”“Roman, I don’t blame you for loving her,” I assured him.“No, but I feel bad that I couldn’t do more for you, that I allowed them to turn you into that person,” he confessed.“That person?” I questioned
