Morana AmbroseI dropped the ribbon into my lap and then gripped the lid of the box. When I lifted the lid, I saw the most beautiful necklace I had ever seen. It was made of platinum, with both the pendant and the chain. The pendant was in the shape of a heart with two wolves, one clearly male and
"W-w-what, L-L-Luna, what are you doing? A-Alpha, th-this isn't; I mean, I don't know." He couldn't finish his sentence at all. The slight growl that Adrian had been giving turned to laughter."Well, my mate sure is full of surprises." He chuckled. "Accept her affections, Derek; I won't allow it of
Morana AmbroseLater that night, I and Adrian made our way to my room. I could tell something was off as soon as I opened my door. Adrian and I had walked in silence. But as soon as I set foot into my room, I knew that something was wrong. Something was different. Something just wasn't right."Wha
Morana Ambrose. With his hands gripping my hips firmly, he nestled at my opening for just a moment as he pressed his lips to mine. His tongue delving deep into my mouth, exploring all that he could of my mouth. With my mind distracted by his kiss, he pulled me down while thrusting up. He drove into
Morana Ambrose. When we got to the kitchen and dining area, I saw that someone had come ahead of us and prepped dinner. Whoever they were, they had to have left just recently, as the food was still warm and fresh. Steak, thick, juicy and grilled to perfection; baked potatoes; grilled asparagus; and
Morana Ambrose. I can never hide things from her or lie to her. She's like a lie detector, quickly catches me if at all I hid things or lie. It was just useless against her. "Hazel, do us all a favor and become a cop." I sighed again as I looked at her."Maybe I will, if you stop trying to pretend
Morana Ambrose. I was just glad that all of my family seemed happy for me; it really made it easier for me to be so happy. Adrian pushed the lid of my computer shut and slid it away. He then wrapped his arms around me and kissed my neck. "Hmmm, I love it when you squirm against me like that." He p
Morana AmbroseMilly took me to a back room so she could get my measurements. That was a thoroughly embarrassing time. She had me strip down to my underwear so that I stood before her with no extra layers that would make the measurements off. She took her time taking some very invasive measurements
“Exactly,” Morana said, her eyes sparkling with determination. “We’ll teach them to be brave, to stand up for what’s right, and to love fiercely.” After dinner, we moved to the living room, the kids nestled in our arms. The atmosphere was warm and cozy, filled with the soft glow of lamps and the s
I leaned down, kissing her forehead softly, feeling as if we were the only two people in the world at that moment. “We did this together, Morana. Always together.” “Hey, you two lovebirds!” Rowan called from the doorway, a wide grin on his face. “Hazel wants to know if you’re ready for a family di
Adrian Blackthrone. Years later. I paced anxiously in the hallway of the hospital, outside the delivery rooms, my heart racing with excitement and a hint of anxiety. Her cries from inside of the room make me feel more anxious. Today was a day we had both anticipated and dreaded—the day our liv
Adrian BlackthroneI heard it—a heart-wrenching cry that cut through the silence like a blade. “Adrian! Adrian!”My heart shattered at the sound. It was her voice, raw with pain and desperation. I woke up and pushed myself up. I glanced at the sword pierced into my chest and slowly pulled it out. M
"A test?" Adrian frowned, his brows drawing together. "What do you mean?"Selene’s eyes softened, and she gestured toward the waterfall. "Walk with me."He followed her, the pups padding alongside them as they made their way toward the water’s edge. The sound of the falls grew louder, a calming pres
A heart-wrenching cry from Morana echoed across the battlefield, so profound and full of despair that it felt like the earth itself wept in sorrow. The sound cut through the chaos, louder than the clashing of swords and the roaring of wolves. For a moment, everything stopped—the hunters, the witches
Morana Ambrose. I was on the verge of losing consciousness, slipping into the dark void that was beckoning me with open arms. But through the haze of agony, I could make out the witches surrounding me, their voices raised in urgent chants, their hands glowing with the raw power of magic. They were
This couldn’t be happening. Not now.Through the haze of pain, I heard Adrian’s voice in my mind, a desperate command, but I couldn’t understand it. The bond between us was crackling with urgency, but the pain was too overwhelming, too all-consuming. I couldn’t focus. I couldn’t think.Adrian howled
Morana Ambrose. My breath came in short, desperate bursts as I dodged another blast of black magic from Carlisle. His eyes glowed with malice, dark energy radiating from him in waves as he sent another spell flying toward me. He somehow gained more dark magic Adrian was beside me, his massive lycan
