The whole pack was gathered and excited about this new ceremony that had never been done before.They had all participated in the preparations, and they even thought it was so new that they were thinking of following the human tradition for the next couples in the herd."Lucian, you're getting on everyone's nerves; get a grip," Michael growled in annoyance, but more so because he hadn't seen or felt his mate for a while.He was grumpier than Lucian.Suddenly, the music began to play, announcing the bride and groom's entrance, and he stretched his back straighter than a plank, waiting for his dear companion.The flock members sat on white chairs, facing a beautiful archway with flower arrangements that permeated the surrounding forest with all their perfume.Many magical things in the surroundings made this natural wedding look like a scene from a fairy tale.The first to appear at the beginning of the red carpet were three beautiful children, apparently about 2 years old.Logically, t
"Silvano, are you sure we won't be discovered? I still think this is crazy.""Then what the hell did you come for?" another, larger black wolf asked him through his bond."I came to keep an eye on you so you don't get your neck ripped out all at once.""This thing we're doing is a very crazy plan with all the makings of going wrong.""I thought you were okay with it because Alan was your family too, your cousin, and they killed him without flinching.""Lucian Allen's damned murdered my brother, and someone has to pay the debt," Silvano distilled all the hatred he had accumulated during that time.When the ancient puppies were born, he came with his pack to meet them, but the welcome was far from friendly, and it ended with the death of his younger brother.No one even apologized to him, and that debt could only be repaid with Ancient Lucian's blood."That's enough, you two, arguing between us won't get us anywhere." "We're here, so the important thing is to camouflage ourselves among
Even though she was an Omega facing an intimidating, unknown Alpha, she had no fear.She rose on shaky knees and walked to the source of her favorite scent.Cintra stood petrified. His heart beat wildly in his chest.It couldn't be that this little girl was..."Mate," Elijah couldn't believe it either, and a mixture of emotions assaulted his senses.He was as lost as his wolf.She approached them, curious, and they looked at her to ensure she wasn't hurt.Suddenly, they remembered the whole bloody scene from a few moments ago and thought her eyes would show fear, but in her beautiful blue eyes, there was only doubt, and her little head tilted to the side seemed too adorable. Ophelia spoke to him in her tender, childlike voice, and then, like a moth drawn to the light or the scent, she slowly approached to sniff the huge Alpha's neck.Cintra didn't move a muscle.Did she smell him?She shouldn't even have woken her wolf. Although he was sure she was his mate, he couldn't sense her, bu
" Now take that face off. You look like your dog died. Didn't you tell me you were super determined, or will you let me down?" Camila said to her best friend and roommate." I won't regret it, but this is the first Christmas I've spent without going home, and I'm sure I'll miss them. The puppies will eat all the candy," Ophelia snorted dramatically and sank deeper into the furniture." You call your brothers puppies, six feet tall and cute as they are?"" Hey, pedophile, they're just kids! They're not even 18 yet!" she claimed with fake anger and threw a pillow at her, which Camila dodged." Sure, but don't let them out without ID, or there'll be a line of pedophiles behind those two," she told her amusedly, remembering the time she'd gone with Ophelia to her pack and introduced him to her family, including her "little puppy brothers."Two hunks of pure solid muscle, masculine, edible all over, with blue eyes like Ophelia's and dark hair.Boy, next to the father, the Alpha of the pack
" Ophelia, I must say that I am very amazed at your change today; I imagine it has something to do with Camila, but I can only thank her because you look beautiful," Roman had used all his arsenal of nice words since their arrival."Thank you, Roman. You look very nice, too " Ophelia replied without paying much attention to him.They sat at the reserved private table, where they had already drunk several bottles of alcohol. The semi-dark atmosphere, with the music in the background and the euphoria on the dance floor, invited me to let go and let loose.In fact, only the two of them had stayed because the others had gone to move their skeletons and make the forbidden steps under the lights of the dance floor." The truth is, I don't know how to tell you that I like you..."" Shall we dance?" Ophelia interrupted him because she knew what was coming next, and she was the last one for serious conversations and declarations of love." You said you didn't want to when I invited you a while
"Don't ever show up in this club again. You're not allowed in, especially not with a guy," Ophelia heard the man say in her ear, rough and annoyed, as he put her dress back on.Angry with her or with himself?She wanted to turn around and ask him what was happening between them, but he left as he came.He stepped like a shadow through the dancing people, and despite his size, no matter how much she wanted to follow him, the stranger disappeared.Ophelia was left completely lost and standing there like a fool.What exactly had she done?She had let a random man touch her like that, and worse, she had experienced a hot orgasm that was still trickling down between her legs.She had never liked being controlled, but for some reason, feeling dominated by his presence, being so small in his strong arms, his domineering commands and no room to say no, his growl of desire in her ear, had turned her on so much that if she pushed herself any harder, she believed she would give herself to this w
His head felt like it would split in two, and his shirt was soaked with cold sweat."I don't want to, I don't want to! This is nothing but your selfish decisions, but I've always wanted my mate; I want her by my side, and because you won't let me near her, not even her she-wolf recognizes me!""I'm sorry, Cintra, but I don't want her. I won't give in," Elias answered, firm in his decision."You'll regret it, Elijah Cohen, a lot. When that happens, don't come to me for help, and until you recognize my mate, forget I exist."Elijah held his hands to his chest in pain. He couldn't believe that Cintra had closed in on him, that he had cut himself off from him.It was as if he felt a chaotic emptiness inside."You're just pissed off right now. When you get over your anger, I'll be here," he told him, knowing he heard him, but Cintra didn't even answer.It was the Cold War, but Elijah would not back down.The taste of Ophelia's gentleness proved only one thing to him.If he allowed himself
"I'm so sorry, boss, really, please forgive me, I'm such a klutz," Ophelia didn't know how to apologize for spilling all the coffee on her boss's shirt."Don't worry, Ophelia, I already told you it's no big deal. A bit of water and my jacket over it, I can cover it up.""There’s also no meeting today, nothing urgent that requires me to look perfect," Jack reassured her without much concern."Give me the shirt, I can try to wash it a bit in the bathroom, maybe with the hand dryer, it might dry quickly…""Jack, take all the data on the new project, there's an emergency meeting, right now!" the department head interrupted."A meeting right now?" Jack asked, now genuinely concerned about the huge coffee stain splashed across the front of his shirt that couldn't be easily concealed as he'd initially suggested to Ophelia."Right now! It seems we have a new boss, move it, it's urgent!""I'm screwed," he muttered, not realizing he'd spoken out loud, and Ophelia, embarrassed and not knowing wh
