My body surrendered completely, jolted by a gentle shock. As Castor’s hips moved, entering me, I welcomed him with a moan. His pace quickened, growing more assertive until I felt the warmth I had yearned for, for so long. “I missed you so much, Alpha Castor,” I whispered. “Did you now? Then why didn’t you return to me?” “I was lost...” “This is your punishment, Luna.” Castor withdrew from me abruptly, leaving me sprawled on the bed with my legs spread wide. I exhaled heavily, watching him walk away and disappear into the bathroom. My heart sank, a pang of regret searing through me. I tried to steady my turbulent emotions. Being left just before reaching my climax left me feeling hollow, my thoughts a chaotic jumble. Castor’s anger toward me was nothing compared to my own anger at his brother. He wasn’t to blame for what happened five years ago, yet I had unfairly placed him in the same category as Pollux. I had treated him unjustly. Who wouldn’t be furious at such treatment? Ev
"Don't you dare touch him!" My heart pounded in my chest as the familiar shift began. I clenched my jaw, focusing all my energy on my shift. My bones cracked and reshaped beneath my skin, the pain sharp but fleeting. It never got easier, but the power that followed made it worth it. The silver fur began to sprout across my body, sleek and strong, glimmering under the dark sky. My senses exploded, sharper, clearer. I could hear the biggest impact of waves, feel the vibrations of every movement around me. My eyes, now glowing with an eerie light, locked onto my opponent. The female vampire stood before me. She flung Declan's limp body onto the sand. I was too late. The vampire had already drained his blood, leaving a trace of liquid at the corner of her lips, which she quickly wiped away. Her red eyes gleaming with malice. She grinned, her fangs flashing in the moonlight. I could feel her power, but it didn’t scare me. It only fueled the fire within me. I growled low in my throa
“Alpha Pollux, what happened to Alpha Castor?” My heart raced as I felt Castor’s limp body being supported by Pollux. A flood of negative thoughts swirled in my mind. I shifted back into my human form, curious about what had happened. I checked Castor's condition and saw a gaping wound on his neck. The wound wasn’t healing like ours do; instead, blood flowed from it, trickling down his chest. I helped Pollux carry Castor’s body into the cottage. After ensuring the twins' room door was closed, we walked inside. Castor's limp body was laid on the bed. Sweat covered his entire body, making his skin look even paler. The veins in his neck had turned blue, clearly visible. “Castor was cut by a silver dagger. I was deceived by them and knocked out by the female vampire. The male vampire slashed him while Castor tried to help me. The Moon Goddess is still with us because we outnumbered them. The Blackmoon guards arrived, and they were forced to retreat. Castor always brings guards with
Godiva PoVThe soft golden light of dawn seeped through the thick curtains of our room. I sat by his bedside, my hands clasped together in silent prayer, though I wasn’t even sure who I was praying to. Days had passed since he fell unconscious, his body battered and broken, but I couldn’t leave his side. Every shallow rise and fall of his chest was a lifeline, tethering me to hope.“Castor,” I whispered, my voice cracking. “Wake up. Do I need to worry?”The words were barely out when I felt it; a faint stir in his hand. My heart leaped in my chest as I leaned closer, barely breathing. His fingers twitched again, followed by a low groan. His eyes fluttered open, hazy and unfocused, but alive.“Alpha Castor?” I called softly, tears spilling from my eyes.“My precious,” he rasped, his voice weak but unmistakable.I couldn’t help the sob that escaped my lips as I pressed his hand to my cheek. Relief flooded through me like a tidal wave, washing away the dread that had clung to me for days
I spent the night in restless anticipation, pacing the small room like a caged animal. Sleep eluded me as the weight of the previous conversation with Declan gnawed at my resolve. The dawn broke reluctantly, its light spilling through the window like an unwelcome intruder. My heart sank as I overheard a hushed conversation outside my door.Lizzie’s voice, soft yet resolute, carried through the wooden barrier. “Dad, are you sure we’re leaving now?”“Absolutely,” he replied, his tone devoid of its usual warmth.A pit formed in my stomach as the sound of retreating footsteps echoed down the hallway. I threw on my cloak and rushed out, only to catch the faintest glimpse of their retreating figures as they disappeared into the path leading away from Trionia. My heart clenched. They were leaving. Without a word. Without goodbye.By midday, the oppressive weight in my chest shifted to an ache I couldn’t ignore. Castor and Pollux coaxed me from my solitude. Their bright spirits filled the som
Half a millennium ago...Alpha King Silas"Grant us your power, Moon Goddess." This night, I stood atop a hill, gazing out at the savannah battlefield below. The full moon, once a symbol of strength for us, had cast a blood-red glow. Sharp black claws had dug into the earth beneath me.This night, my comrades and I fought not just to survive but to avenge," I had whispered to myself. The chilly night wind had swept through my brown fur, carrying the stench of blood and death. Distant cries from our pack had filled the air, igniting a raging fire within me. For over a century, we had lost too much. Our elders had been united and strong, but our current generations were fragmented. That war was no longer about territory or honor; it was a struggle for our species' survival.I had glanced at the elite warriors of the alliance preparing to attack. Their massive bodies and tense muscles had been illuminated by the moonlight. Their yellow eyes had burned with a desire to annihilate their en
Godiva PoV."It's already 7 o'clock. Gosh, I'm late!"I quickly threw off the covers and got out of bed. Without caring about my looks, which might be messy, I rushed to the kitchen. Passing through the narrow corridor with peeling paint on the walls, I half ran barefoot.I heard two women talking to each other in different tones. One of them spoke in a high tone and was answered with a trembling tone of voice from the other woman. I quickened my pace when my name was called by one of them."Godiva, where is she?" the high-pitched woman shouted."I'm here, Auntie..."I saw that Aunt Caylee's face was already bright red. I realized that I had woken up late, but the expression on her face was unnerving as she looked at me. I approached her, who was standing behind the dining table with her hands bent at her waist.I looked down at the floor and waited for my aunt to speak. The sudden silence made me feel even more creeped out. I continued to stare at my bare feet and linked my fingers t
"What are you doing, sir?" I stamped my feet firmly on the floor to resist the pull of the man's strong arms. I couldn't see his face clearly because the dim lighting only came from the light in the gap in the curtain. I tried to stay in my position at the doorway, but it was useless as I was slowly dragged inside. I tried not to cry as fear engulfed me. I don't know why I still held on to the 5 pizza boxes I was holding in my left hand, even though I could have thrown them at the man in self-defense. I just thought it was my hallucination because of the power outage. Once I heard the stifled growl of the man pulling me, I became convinced that I was hearing a different sound. When I hit something that wasn't hard but flat and warm, I knew I was getting closer to the man. I hardened my gaze to see his face in the darkness. "Godiva Fletcher, you're my mate." "I don't understand what you're saying. Please let me go, sir..." I whispered in submission. At the same time, the electrici

I took a deep breath as I saw Care and Mia sitting at the edge of the bed. They looked anxious, as though they had made a huge mistake and feared I might punish them. Watching them attentively, I shifted my position to sit between them, ensuring they felt comfortable enough to talk. "So, is there something you two want to tell me?" I asked gently, slipping an arm around each of them. Care gave Mia a quick glance before nodding. "Well... Mia and I have been mind-linking for a couple of weeks now," he admitted softly. I tilted my head, curious. "Mind-linking, huh?" I echoed, giving him a little nudge to explain more. Mia, still fidgeting, finally spoke up. "Yeah, Mom. I found out when Care somehow heard me... when I was being bullied at school. I didn’t say a word, but I felt like I could call out to him in my head, and he just knew I needed help." I watched their faces closely, catching the mix of nerves and uncertainty there. "Why didn’t you tell me about this sooner?" I asked, k
After a few hours of sleep on the plane, the warm touch of Castor’s hand woke me up. I covered my wide yawn with my hand, wiped the corners of my eyes, and stretched out my arms to refresh myself.“We’ve arrived, my precious.”I quickly straightened up. Looking around, I heard the cheerful chatter of the twins getting closer. My hands were busy organizing the items I had taken out of my handbag.Just as the twins reached my side, Castor suddenly crouched down to get on Care’s level. He raised one corner of his mouth and asked, “Did you enjoy flying on the plane?”“It was awesome, Alpha! Alpha Pollux said this plane is yours, so thanks for letting us ride on it!” “You’re welcome. I’m glad you enjoyed it.”Care seemed more interested in talking with Castor than with me. They exited the plane together, while I stayed behind with Mia, followed closely by Pollux. Though Mia’s hand was colder than usual, she looked as happy as her twin.I glanced back to make sure Declan was with us. Soon e
Our departure was delayed, and I had no idea how much longer it would take. Castor, Pollux, Declan, and I sat on the sofa, staring at each other in silence. With all his dominance, Castor made sure my body was positioned right next to him, sandwiched between Pollux. The tension was still thick. For once, Pollux initiated a conversation by asking about Declan's property business. He asked, but also ended it with sarcasm. His childish nature might never go away. I exhaled harshly, unsure of how to behave. Staying neutral and silent wasn’t an option because Pollux kept provoking me to agree with his statements about human life. “Can’t you three just get along and stop throwing jabs at each other? This room is suffocating with testosterone. Care and Mia are up there, grumbling because of your antics. They’ve been looking forward to this vacation.” I couldn’t take it anymore. Castor cleared his throat briefly and then spoke, “The final decision is that this human can join us, traveling
