Thank you for waiting, lovelies! Just one but longer than usual. 💗
LEXI I was acting brave, but in reality, I was praying my training for a few months would be enough to match Auri’s skill since she had been a warrior for a long time. If I had a choice, I would never fight with her, but saying “no” only meant giving her the opportunity to diss me every time we crossed paths. So, I finally caved in and agreed to her challenge. My chest heaved as I looked at her with watchful eyes. She struck my shoulder, and it was painful. But I was able to hit her jaw. Her cheek was bruised. At least she couldn’t say I didn’t have the strength for a punch. I was still trying to regain my balance when she launched forward, her fists flying at furious speed. I dodged and kept stepping backward or sideways to evade her blows. My foot movements were precise and calculated, and I had to thank Harlene for working hard with me on my footwork. She kept moving forward, attacking with her fists, and more punches and jabs were exchanged between us until I saw an openin
AUSTIN. My meeting with the Elites had just ended, and I was hurrying out of the security building to pick up Lexi from the camp. She had been in a bad mood the whole day, so I hoped to cuddle and spend time with her. Sometimes, she just wanted to talk to make herself feel better. However, today, she was a bit more irritated than usual. I was wondering if she would have her period soon or if the herbal drink that she had been drinking had anything to do with it. Aunt Andrea had given her the recipe for the drink her own grandmother gave her to let her wolf surface, and Lexi didn’t like the taste at all. She said it was bitter and would occasionally forget about it, but ever since the full moon, I have seen her religiously preparing and drinking it whenever she could. She still grimaced after drinking it and would always feign puking. It looked like it was really horrible tasting, which could be why she kept snapping at me so much today. Well, I just knew how to make my female fee
LEXI. My whole body was shaking from pain rippling through my bones, but I tried my best not to falter and fell to the ground. I kept looking at Austin, who was cheering and smiling at me despite the tears on his face. I knew whatever fate held for us, I was lucky to be here—to be loved back by the man I had bared my whole soul to. “You can do it, baby! Call your wolf out!” “Aaaah!” I screamed my loudest, hoping it would drown out the pain, but it only intensified. I raised my head to the heavens, praying for my wolf to finally surface while telling Selene to forgive me if I chose to defy her fate because there was no way I would be letting go of Austin. The clouds moved, paving the way for the moon to shine brightly in the night sky, beaming its light over the canopy of the trees above me, and just when I thought it was already the answer to my words, the Goddess surprised me more. An intoxicating scent of leather mixed with the fresh and minty scent of mahogany trees swirle
LEXI. “Kiss me…” I said breathily, forgetting that we were still discussing something. “I thought you’d never ask.” He replied in a husky voice before his mouth crashed into mine. A soft moan escaped my lips as he kissed me hard. His hand cupped my pussy, and his skillful fingers massaged my already leaking folds while our mouths and tongues continued to fight for dominance. I still hadn’t had my fill of his kisses when he pulled away from me, making me growl in the process, only for whimpers to leave my lips when he sank into the ground and yanked my leg, anchoring it on his shoulder as his face dove directly onto my pussy. My hands went to his hair, gripping it tightly as my back pressed against the rough tree. “Oh, Goddess!” I moaned as I placed my other leg on his shoulders. He was carrying my weight while the tree supported my back. “Fuck, Lexi!” He groaned before he continued to lick me ruthlessly. His fingers were skillful, but they were nothing compared to how his tong
LEXI. “Austin…” My grip on his shoulders tightened as I continued to bounce up and down his lap while my mate’s hands were on my hips, harshly guiding me to meet his every stroke. Sweat formed on my forehead and everywhere in my body as another orgasm built up within me. I already had my release in this position, and I wanted Austin to come as well, but it seemed the sex god I was straddling had no intention of showering me with his seeds until I orgasmed more, which would make me too weak. I had no idea how long we’d been here. All I knew was that his mark was sitting proudly on my neck. It still stung, but it was only adding pleasure to my ecstasy. And I wanted nothing but to mark him back, but I had no idea how to make my fangs come out. It seemed Heaven was too exhausted or too horny to remember we hadn’t marked Austin yet. “Oh, Goddess!” I moaned wantonly as his cock hit my walls. He kept hitting my walls and g-spot, and I knew soon I would be trembling again. “You love
LEXI. -------------------------- My dear Lexi, When you read this letter, I am already gone, and hopefully, you are happily married or mated. I wish I could be there. I wish I could walk you down that aisle and meet the mate you chose so I could tell him to take good care of you. But I knew I couldn’t. I feel my days are over, and it will only be a matter of time before I go. I’m sorry, Lexi. I wish I could stay. I wish I could be stronger. I love you with all my heart, and I want to be there at every milestone of your life, but I can no longer find the strength to wake up each day. Please know that I tried my hardest every day for you. Ever since your father died, I have just lost my purpose in life. But please don’t think I loved you less. But without your father, I feel a big part of me has gone missing. He was my only steady rock, and I know you will not understand until you find your own rock—the only thing constant that keeps you going. I hope you find him. I hope he is
AUSTIN. The Gamma Camp started early, as usual, but Lexi didn’t come with me right away. I let her sleep. She was emotionally and physically drained. She just shifted, and females usually need more time to recuperate. Plus, the letter from her mother had kept us awake all night. In fact, I didn’t get to sleep at all. Lexi dozed off in my arms, and after I tucked her to bed, there were only a few minutes left before I had to wake up. But doing my task without any rest was nothing new. So I just remained by her side, watching as she softly purred in her sleep. I couldn’t believe we finally came to this part. It felt like it had been years since we decided to give this relationship a try, and after too much turbulence along the way, I honestly did not expect we would have something amazing like this waiting for us. Lexi was someone I didn’t know I needed. But she turned out to be everything my whole being wanted and lived for. It wasn’t an easy journey, especially for her, and pa
ALPHA JACE. Everything has been quiet so far. I had seen faces in the Council territory that I didn’t want to see, but so far, none of them had taken any steps to create any chaos. Maybe because they knew everyone was watching Dad, and I was sure half of the people observing the counting of votes were from Dad’s side. But, of course, it didn’t change the fact that I was still worried. Not just for Dad, but for everyone here. It was like waiting for a big blow to come. If they wanted to eradicate many packs, they needed to attack this territory tonight, as almost all the current Alphas were here. I stood in one corner, talking with Ledger, Cameron, Walker, Tyler, Alonso, and Kairo, while Amara was with Cassidy. All the current Alphas and Alpha Heirs in our circle were here except for Zach, who came at the last minute to vote but went home afterward. I was sure his parents forced him again. He didn’t even say “hi” to anyone. Cyrus also came and voted, but the moment Uncle Adan an
