At Marcus' mansion, he took a deep breath and nodded his head at Zyra. “You want this, don’t you?” she asked him softly. He let his gaze fall to the floor, staring at her small, cute feet.“So much, my love,” he replied, his voice barely above a whisper.Zyra placed her fingers beneath his jaw, lifting his gaze to hers. A small smile appeared on her face as she slowly began to loosen her bathrobe. Her eyes remained locked with his, full of intensity and promise. She slipped one arm out of the robe, the fabric cascading down her shoulder, revealing the smooth, soft skin beneath.Marcus's breath caught in his throat as she shrugged off the other sleeve, letting the robe fall to the floor in a silken pool around her feet. She stood before him, completely bare, her confidence and beauty leaving him speechless.Zyra took a step closer, her bare feet whispering against the cold floor. Her eyes never left his as she closed the distance between them. She reached out, her fingertips trailing

Alpha Cade stood under the warm cascade of water, letting it wash away the grime and blood from the recent battle. The bathroom, a stark contrast to the chaos outside, was his sanctuary. The water beat against his skin, soothing his tense muscles and clearing his mind. For a moment, he closed his eyes, letting the steam envelop him, trying to find a sense of peace amidst the turmoil.He couldn’t stay here forever, though. His pack needed him. With a sigh, Cade turned off the shower and grabbed a towel, drying himself off. He stared at his reflection in the mirror, seeing the weariness in his eyes, the lines of worry etched on his face. But there was also a spark of determination. They had won the battle, but the war was far from over.He had pushed aside thought of Zyra and her new mate making love.Dressed in simple, comfortable clothes, Cade made his way to the large wooden hall where his top warriors were waiting. The hall was bustling with activity; injured pack members were being

Marcus’s hands wrapped around Zyra’s waist as he pulled her closer to himself, and she snuggled into his embrace. “If I let you, you’ll spend the rest of the day here,” he whispered in her ear.She giggled, “Is that so bad?”“Not at all, but we’ve got work to do today…” he replied, his tone teasing.She pulled away to turn to him, “Oh really? What’s the plan?”He cupped her cheeks in his hands, “You. You are the work.”She dramatically dropped her jaw, “Oh, yeah right…” Zyra chuckled, making an attempt to get out of bed, but he pulled her back.“No, no… you’re not going alone,” he said, getting off the bed and carrying her in a bridal style.“You know I could actually walk to the bathroom myself,” she said with a pout.He shrugged, “But this is more fun.” He carried her into the bathroom, where the luxurious space greeted them. The room was adorned with marble tiles, a large vanity with intricate details, and a massive tub that could easily fit both of them. The tub was already fille

Asher rolled to the other side of the bed, feeling his hands resting on something soft. As he opened his eyes slowly, he saw Lily still asleep next to him. He yawned and rubbed his temples, trying to make sense of his surroundings. Sitting up from the bed, his jaw dropped as memories of the previous night flashed back and hit him. He recalled Lily taking him to his room and him asking her not to leave.Rubbing his temples more vigorously, he tried to get out of bed but ended up waking Lily instead."Asher?" she called with a slight yawn, sitting up on the bed and looking around the room. She seemed disoriented, her eyes narrowing as she tried to remember where she was. "What am I doing here?" she asked, rubbing her eyes with the back of her palm.Asher scratched the back of his neck, feeling awkward. "Uh, I remember now..." she mouthed, pulling her hair behind her ears as she swung her legs off the bed and stood up."What happened? Was I that drunk?" Asher asked, his voice tinged wit

As Zyra stepped out with a radiant smile, she began searching for Marcus and the others. However, she didn't have to look far, as Marcus was already approaching her, his own smile mirroring hers. “It went well, didn’t it?” he asked, his voice filled with genuine curiosity and pride.Zyra’s smile widened. “Yes, it did. Circe is wonderful,” she replied, twirling her fingers in the air, watching as sparks of magic danced around them. The sight of her newfound abilities filled her with a sense of accomplishment and excitement.Marcus watched her with admiration. “I see you’re becoming something truly extraordinary,” he said, his eyes reflecting his pride and affection.“Thanks to you, from the very beginning,” Zyra said, her voice filled with sincerity and gratitude. She knew that without Marcus’s support and encouragement, she might never have discovered her true potential.Marcus winked playfully at her. “Anytime. There’s much more to come,” he promised. His eyes then fell on the large
