Still Alpha Female Ciciane's POV The wonderful atmosphere between Harad and me has been irreversibly shattered due to the arrival of Eon.Harad once-vibrant demeanor is now eerily still, his eyes are on alert. I feel an intense inner turmoil in him and that weighs heavily upon my heart. When our dinner is served, we eat without exchanging any words. Though he has chosen my favorite Italian dishes, I'm unable to enjoy them fully. The blame solely falls on my shoulders. I was well aware that a discussion with Eon regarding our mate bond should have taken place long ago. Yet I continuously postponed it without regard for its significance. It is hardly surprising then that he chose his moment to appear, what happened was his premeditated plan! Damn Eon! And his last comment, expressing his desire to father a son with me, was deliberately chosen. It was an attempt to lure Harad out of his tent. My mate's protective nature over me is widely known. The implication be
Again Alpha Female Ciciane's POV “Come closer, Cissy.”Although my gut warns me of impending disaster, yet I cannot resist taking a few paces towards Eon. His towering presence looms over me and his massive chest acts as a formidable barricade. As always, he exudes an aura of wealth, dressed expensively while the scent of his bespoke cologne threatens to intoxicate my senses entirely. “What are you planning, Eon?” I inquired with a tense tone. “I sense that you are up to no good. What is this about?" A sly smirk twitches at the edge of his mouth, revealing a telltale sign that he's playing one of his tricks on me. During all the weeks I lived in his house, he had never before been successful when attempting to deceive me with his artful façade. In retrospect, however, it is clear why - our mate bond made him an open book to me. I was only ignorant about it due to the potion he always brought me. “You are my mate and now is the time for
In Crescent Moon… “To be honest, I am perplexed as to why you are still here. Shiri would undoubtedly have done a better job than you. Barren Luna." A derisive sneer is heard from behind Luna Taylor who is busy putting together the menu for the week with Oriya. At her back is Arbel, the pest of the packhouse and Beta Yuval's ex-mate. Without any purpose, Arbel strolls into the packhouse, waiting for a chance to validate her presence. As long as Yuval has not decided what to do with her yet, she remains safe from being thrown into prison cells. “At least I have every right to be here,” Taylor retorted with a hint of sarcasm. "Unlike the despicable routine of glaring at my ex-mate and his better half flaunting their passionate bond every single day and swooning over the arrival of their little one. At least I am of some use to the Alpha.” “That's exactly where
Luna Taylor's POV I am eagerly looking forward to reaching the Kingdom.It's been a while since Cissy and I caught up; it seems she has her hands full taking care of those adorable pups of hers. The last time we spoke, Harad revealed that she refused to hire any long-term assistance for them. She only tolerates one confidante around the twins. That really sounds like Cissy, always caring and protective. That was the first thing that struck me when I first met her almost a year ago. But my biggest concern is Xanne, her best friend who turned out to be Harad's mate as well. The werewolf community was buzzing with the news of this mating between four wolves, everyone curious how it would pan out. Multiple matings are not uncommon, however it is unprecedented for two female wolves to be involved.Until now, the typical arrangement involved sharing one female wolf among multiple males without issue as t
Luna Taylor's POV AgainAnd then she was gone, just through a door leading to the garden. Doron, the midwife, had a pup with her that I recognized positively as one of Cissy's twins. Hadn't Harad mentioned earlier that she had refused to hire a nanny? Or perhaps Doron is simply the friend whom she trusts solely with caring for her pups? Frowning, I look in the direction where the two have disappeared.Doron's behavior is very peculiar, why didn't she just walk over to greet me? Maybe I should ask Cissy to explain. “Do you know the nanny?” Walter inquired next to me. “She was employed by the King and Queen to care for the Crown Prince. Xanne is occupied with her own work and this nanny has proved invaluable. The boy adores her.” My jaws hang agape in complete astonishment as I gaze upon the man.“Are you saying that the pup I just saw at Doron's is Xanne's? That is not possible! That's Cissy's son. And I am so certain of it
Again Luna Taylor's POV Three days in a row, I have been going to the terrace, hoping to catch a glimpse of Doron and Prince together once again.But, so far, I haven't had any success. It's like she's purposely hiding from me. There must be a reason why she's acting like this, despite all the wonderful memories we have together about the birth of the Princes in Eclipse Howlers. Her peculiar behavior only deepens my suspicion that there are more secrets lurking within these Palace walls. I've had a wonderful time with Cissy and the Princes over the past few days.Never before have I seen such happy pups and when they are with their parents, it is a picture-perfect. Captivated by them as a family unit, I captured numerous photographs along with some selfies with the twins. And of course, I promise that these images belong exclusively to my personal collection and will not be shared on social media without Cissy and Harad's explicit consent.
Still Luna Taylor's POV "You were standing here the whole time and heard everything."This is not a question, but rather an observation made by Harad. Darn it! He must have known the entire time that I was listening in on his conversation with Xanne – those Lycan genes!To my surprise, he takes me by the hand and drags me with him to the elevator. We descend in silence to the main floor where he walks with broad steps to the business quarters. I know that I am expected to follow him. After being caught red-handed, I'm not in a favorable position to turn him against me.When we reach his office, he holds the door open for me.After entering the room, he takes off his tie abruptly and throws it onto his desk before facing me.“Taylor, it's not what you think,” he began, pouring himself a glass of Scotch. “I am in the middle of hot water and can only keep everything on track with the right tact. But my main concern is Cissy. I want to protect her. Any str
Luna Taylor's POV Still“Is this cute little pup what you're referring to?”As I face Doron, who is cradling the little one on her lap, it suddenly dawns on me that the boy's curious gaze is fixed on me. His eyes strike a stunning resemblance to both of his parents as they shimmer in silver-blue shades. In response to my admiring glance towards him, he greets me with a heartwarming smile and stretches out his hands while leaning forward in my direction. "Hello, my lovely prince. You are so handsome," I appease him.He makes gurgling noises as he continues to reach for me. Unable to resist him any further, I succumb to his charms and take him into my arms. He engulfs me with his chubby limbs as an overwhelming sense of motherhood washes over me. Oh goodness, if only Eugene and I were gifted with such an adorable pup like this one, it would add so much more joy to our lives! As though he perceives my emotions, the Prince leans against my shoulder and kiss
