Chapter: Chapter 317 / LyannaShifter pregnancies lasted only seven months instead of nine, and I was nearing the end of my seventh month. The weather outside was starting to cool—well, as much as it ever did in Florida. There was a light, refreshing chill in the air, and I was growing more excited by the day to meet our baby. With just one week left until my due date, it could happen at any moment.I went into the nursery to go over my hospital bag one more time. It sat on the changing table, perfectly packed. Everything was in place. I let out a contented sigh as I looked around the room. We had chosen Winnie the Pooh as a gender-neutral theme.Atlas, surprisingly, turned out to be an incredible artist and had painted a stunning mural of a Pooh scene. It was so beautiful that I knew I’d have to find a way to preserve it someday when our child inevitably outgrew it.I was halfway through checking my bag when I heard raised voices outside—Mira and Rowan again. I rolled my eyes and headed downstairs to see what the

Chapter: Chapter 316 / LyannaMira had been organizing our baby shower, and when she found out we were planning to wait until delivery to learn the baby’s sex, she reacted with playful annoyance. She’d been wishing for a girl so she could decorate everything in pink—an over-the-top pink celebration. Instead, she had to rethink everything and go with neutral tones. Saying she disliked the safe choices of yellow, green, and gray would be putting it lightly, but she still managed to plan an amazing party over the following months.During the baby shower, as I was loading my plate with finger foods and snacks, she casually moved up beside me.“Are you two still serious?” Mira asked.“About what?”She rolled her eyes. “Really? The gender, you goof. You and Leo are still waiting?”I laughed. “Yes, we’re waiting. It’s going to be a big surprise.”“Ugh, you guys are ridiculous. What’s fun about that?”“I don’t know,” I replied. “I think it’s exciting.” I glanced over at Rowan, who was stacking his plate with food. “When y

Chapter: Chapter 315 / LeoLyanna leaned her head back against the pillow and slipped her hand between us, her fingers finding her clit. The sensation made everything feel more intense, and I hardened further. Desire pushed me forward as I met her gaze, increasing the pace of my thrusts. My heavy breathing mixed with her soft moans of pleasure.I was getting close. The pressure building in my balls and cock grew stronger with every second. I was on the verge of losing control, but I forced myself to hold on. Lyanna’s pleasure was all that mattered. Then she gasped, her hips rising to meet mine.“I’m gonna come,” she whispered.A grin spread across my face as I moved faster, driving into her without restraint, chasing my own orgasm.“Look at me, Lyanna. I want to see you when you come.”Our eyes locked. I held her gaze as her lips parted and her body trembled, shaking as her orgasm overtook her. Her cheeks flushed as the intensity of it washed through her.The connection between us—the way we looked at each othe

Chapter: Chapter 314 / LeoA week after Lyanna and I had gone for that run in the woods, we held the memorial ceremony. Dad, Lyanna, and I agreed it wouldn’t just honor those who died in the battle, but everyone who had lost their lives during the royals’ reign of terror. I sent out invitations to all shifter packs and clans across the world who wished to attend. I thought the turnout for the battle had been massive, but in the days leading up to the ceremony, every hotel and rental within a two-hour radius was completely booked.I hadn’t truly realized how far the royals’ influence had spread until shifters came from places as distant as Tokyo and South Africa. Their destruction had stretched across centuries, starting in Europe and spreading worldwide like a disease.We held the ceremony on my land. The energy of the land itself flowed through everything, reinforcing that this was the right place. It was one of the few places that still held the true essence of shifter power, and it felt fitting for something

Chapter: Chapter 313 / LyannaLeo and I finally left our bedroom and rejoined the pack. Sinthy had come back, her task finished—or at least, that’s what she claimed. The news reported that several factories and office buildings had been mysteriously destroyed overnight, and Sinthy only offered small, knowing smiles whenever those reports came up.The best way to describe those first few days was… strange. Ever since the night I’d been attacked in my bar, everything had revolved around the royals—around Viola and her organization. We had spent so long running, hiding, investigating, planning, and preparing for them that it felt unnatural not to have some kind of crisis looming. To keep ourselves occupied, we focused on something we wished we didn’t have to do.Many shifters had died. Members of our pack, along with those who had come to support us, had lost their lives, and Leo was organizing a memorial service. His father agreed it was a good idea and offered to handle the arrangements.Donatello returned as well,

Chapter: Chapter 312 / LyannaIt was over. Finally over. I would have leapt in excitement, but I was still trapped in that massive, beast-like form. All I wanted was to run and throw myself into Leo’s arms, but shifting out of… whatever I had become was far more difficult than a normal shift. Something about that body felt natural. My wolf felt completely at home in it and didn’t want to let it go. As calmly as I could, I reached out to her.The power thrilled her, just like the awareness of what her father had been. I understood that, and I let her feel that understanding. I pushed my thoughts toward her, showing her how much I loved Leo, my family, and my friends—and how badly I needed to return to my human form to be with them. We weren’t just wolves—we were both human and wolf, sharing one body. We had to meet halfway.A deep sense of understanding flowed back to me. Her hold on that form loosened, allowing me to shift back. Even that felt strange. It wasn’t smooth or effortless like usual. Instead of flowing

Chapter: Chapter 66: OrionWe pulled into the Waldorf Astoria in the Buckhead area of Atlanta. A valet opened our doors when we parked.Elara turned and stared at me with wide eyes. “I thought we’d be staying somewhere like a Holiday Inn or something.”“Not for our first real date. I wanted to spoil you,” I said.The valet took our bags while we walked inside to check in.Elara pulled lightly on my sleeve. “Can you really afford this place? It looks really expensive.”That immediately brought back the frustrating thoughts about all the money I had spent to keep the pack going.“I’m not broke, Elara,” I said sharply.She frowned. “You don’t need to act like a jerk about it. I was only asking. I just don’t want you spending too much money to impress me or something. I’ve never cared about money, and that hasn’t changed. You should know that.”She looked hurt, and I let out a tired breath. That had been a rude response. What the hell was wrong with me?“Sorry,” I said. “I didn’t mean to sound like an ass. Money ha

Chapter: Chapter 65: ElaraJaxon laughed. “I was a teenager close to my first shift once too. I already know what’s coming. We’ll be okay.”Orion and I got into the truck and waved at Jaxon and Kael as we drove away. I let out a sigh and leaned back into my seat, finally ready to relax for the first time in weeks.That feeling lasted for about three seconds.“Shit,” I whispered. “I need to call Stormy.”“Why? What happened?” Orion asked.“I was at her house for more than an hour today, and I never told her we were leaving town. She’ll panic. Hold on.”Stormy answered, and I could hear Lila crying loudly in the background.“This better be important. Miss Thing over here has decided she doesn’t like pureed peas anymore.”“Who would?” I said, making a face.“So, what’s going on?”“I just wanted to tell you that I’m going to Atlanta with Orion for a night or two.”“Oh, nice. For what?”I told her about Orion and Jaxon needing to sell one of their businesses to get money for the pack finances and pay off the loan sh

Chapter: Chapter 64: ElaraAlmost immediately after I did that, the car behind me suddenly moved back into the fast lane, pressed hard on the gas, and sped past me, rushing down the road and leaving me behind. I let out a small breath of relief. It was probably just some stupid kids messing around.“Elara? Are you okay?” Orion’s voice came through my phone.I jumped in surprise. I had almost forgotten that I called him. The relief I felt after the car drove away had completely cleared my mind.“Huh? Uh... yeah, sorry. I think I accidentally called you,” I said.I did not want to scare Orion, especially over something that now seemed so small.“Are you sure?” he asked, his voice sounding tight with worry.“Yeah. Definitely. I was actually going to call you anyway,” I said, trying to sound relaxed and casual about everything. “I’m heading home from Stormy’s. I’m about three minutes away. I just wanted you to know.”He sighed, and I got ready for him to lecture me about not telling him or not waiting for someone t

Chapter: Chapter 63: ElaraOnce we finished putting away the groceries, Orion took Kael to train with Jaxon. He had missed an entire day of training with both of them, and I thought spending time with them would be good for him.“You go ahead. I’ll be okay here,” I said.“Not by yourself,” Orion said. “Come with us and watch the men work.”Kael immediately became tense. I remembered being a teenager and knowing how it felt when your parents—or in my case, grandparent—stayed around while you were trying to do something. He would probably feel more comfortable if I was not there.“I’ll go to Stormy’s,” I said. “I haven’t seen her for a couple of days. That way I won’t be by myself. What do you think?”Orion looked unsure but finally agreed. He still insisted on driving behind me to Stormy’s house and waiting with Kael by the curb until I was safely inside. Stormy was already standing at the door and waving me inside as Orion drove away.“Looks like you’ve got yourself a nice bodyguard,” she said while locking the

Chapter: Chapter 62: OrionThe bold and aggressive way Varek kept pushing us did not make sense at all. Money was important, yes, but I had already said I would pay him. So why was he still threatening us? He was acting as if we had missed a payment date or told him to fuck off. This all felt personal somehow. Money, out of everything in the world, was one of the least personal things I could think of. And right in the middle of everything was Vale.I met Jaxon at the barbershop, while my head was still full of questions. The barber, an old man named Claude Shipley, was a human who had always had a good relationship with the pack. The man had already been old when I was a kid, but his small barbershop was a well-known place in Pinecrest Valley.“Afternoon, Claude,” I said as I walked inside.He was just putting the cape around Jaxon’s shoulders when I entered.“Good afternoon, Orion. How are you?” the small man asked.“Better than I deserve.” I looked at him and around the shop.The three of us were completely

Chapter: Chapter 61: OrionI looked at my father’s old laptop sitting on the other side of the desk. It was locked, but the password was written on a piece of paper taped inside the top drawer of the desk. After paying all the bills, I pulled the laptop closer and turned it on. Once I entered the password, I looked through the different files, searching for more proof of my dad’s bad habits. Maybe he had placed a million-dollar bet on the Super Bowl or something.While searching, I sent Selene a message.Orion: Random question. Was the pack having money problems when you moved away? Or was everything still okay?Selene had stayed longer than I did. If things had been getting worse for more than ten years, then that could explain where the missing money went. Slowly losing money through betting over fifteen or sixteen years could possibly do that.Selene: Nope. Everything was still good when I left. I didn’t know about any problems.Another dead end.Orion: Thanks anyway.I continued looking through more files,

Chapter: Chapter 10: Seraphina & SebastianSeraphina’s POVI hold the black dress against my body and look at my image in the glass. Hmm. I toss it and the coat hanger onto the bed. I take the gray skirt and jacket and hold it up to myself.Maybe black?Shit. What do you put on when you want to look beautiful without looking like you are trying too hard? It is eleven o’clock right now, and I am choosing my clothes for my meeting with Mr. Cross tomorrow morning. Why does he even want to see me?I think I will choose the black dress. I place it on the chair. I take my shiny leather shoes and put them on the floor below the dress. What earrings? Hmm. I move my lips while I think. Pearls. Yes, pearls do not scream come have sex with me like the gold ones do. Pearls are smart earrings for work.Right.I will wash my hair and curl it tomorrow morning. I look at my image and hold my hair up in a high ponytail. Yes . . . high ponytail. He likes high ponytails. Stop it.I sit on the edge of my bed and look around my tiny apartment. It

Chapter: Chapter 8: SeraphinaOh my God.He stands up and walks around to my side of the desk, then holds out his hand for me to shake. “Sebastian Cross.”It’s him—the man from the layover who never asked for my number. I stare at him as my mind completely stops working.I can’t believe this. He’s the CEO?“Seraphina, tell Mr. Cross a little about yourself,” Victoria says, encouraging me to speak.“Oh.” I quickly pull myself together and shake his hand. “I’m Seraphina Ford.”His hand is firm and warm, and it instantly reminds me of how it felt on my skin. I pull my hand away from his as if I’ve been shocked.His playful eyes stay on mine, but his expression remains serious.“Welcome to Cross Global,” he says calmly.“Thank you,” I managed to say. I glance at Victoria. Oh God, does she know I’m the dirty-talking woman who slept with our boss’s boss’s boss?“I’ll take it from here, Victoria. Seraphina will be out in a moment,” Mr. Cross says.Victoria frowns and looks at me. “I’ll just—”“Wait outside,” he says, dis

I normally find stories together with my team.”He gives me a kind smile. “Don’t worry. We all felt that way when we first started. They wouldn’t have hired you if they didn’t believe you could do it.”I give him a crooked smile. “I just don’t want to disappoint anyone.”He reaches across and places his hand over mine. “You won’t. This team is amazing, and we all help each other.”I glance down at his hand resting on mine.“Oh.” He quickly pulls it back when he notices my discomfort. “I’m completely gay and apparently far too touchy. Just tell me if I get into your personal space. I honestly have no idea.”I smile, thankful for his honesty. “Okay.” I look around the office as more people start arriving. “How long have you worked here?”“Four years. I love it.” He shakes his shoulders to emphasize his point. “It’s the best job I’ve ever had. I moved from

I really loved it... but oh well.He frowns as he looks at the stitched initials.I take the scarf from his hands and wrap it around his neck, covering the large purple mark. I smirk when I see it.I didn't even know how to give someone a hickey.I must have been completely caught up in the moment.“What does the F stand for?” he asks.“Fuck bunny.” I smile, trying to hide my disappointment. I don't want him to know that what he said earlier hurt my feelings.He chuckles and pulls me firmly into his arms before carrying me back toward the bed.“That description suits you perfectly.”He lifts my leg around his waist, and we share one final lingering kiss.“Goodbye, my beautiful fuck bunny,” he whispers.I run my fingers through his hair while looking at his handsome face.“Goodbye, Blue Eyes.”He picks up the scarf and takes a deep breath.“This smells like you.”“Wear it every time you jerk off.”
