LOGINVictor stood there, eyes wide with shock and anger. “Damon! What the hell do you think you’re doing to your stepsister?!”
Damon froze above me, still buried halfway inside me, his muscles shaking with the effort of holding back. Victor’s gaze dropped to where our bodies were joined, then back up to Damon’s face. His expression morphed into something dark, and dangerous at the same time. “Oh you foolish boy,” he hissed. “You have no idea what you’ve just gotten yourself into.” Ever heard a whip lashing? That was exactly how Victor’s voice cut through the room. I froze beneath Damon, my body still quaking from the orgasm he’d just given me. His thick cock was buried halfway inside me, stretching me open, demanding that manly need to fuck me however he wanted to. My cheeks burned with humiliation as Victor’s eyes ran over our naked, joined bodies. Damon didn’t pull out. If anything, his hips pressed forward another inch, making me moan. The look in his eyes was clearly one of defiance as he glared at his father over his shoulder. “Get. Out.” Damon’s voice was pure Alpha, deep, dangerous, and barely human. Victor stepped further into the room, and I noticed that he was trying to control the anger that was all over his face. “You stupid, reckless boy. Do you have any idea what her bloodline means? What she is?” I tried to cover myself, but Damon’s body shielded most of me. His hand was around my thigh, possessively, keeping me spread beneath him. “Leave, Father,” Damon said. “This doesn't concern you.” Victor laughed, but there was no humor in it. “Not my concern? She’s living under my roof. She’s your stepsister. And you’re about to knot her like some animal in heat.” His eyes flicked to me. “Sophie, get dressed. We need to talk about what you really are.” Damon snarled and finally pulled out of me. I was shocked at the sudden emptiness. He grabbed a sheet and threw it over my body before turning fully to face his father, still completely naked and nonchalant about it, his massive erection was already polished with my wetness. “She is mine,” Damon said, like some lethal villain in an action move. “The bond snapped the moment she arrived. There's no way you can stop this.” “The bond will destroy us all if you complete it. Her mother...” “Don’t,” Damon warned. I sat up, clutching the sheet to my chest, my mind trying to make meaning of that they were actually talking about. What about my mother? What are you both talking about?” Victor looked at me with something almost like pity. “Your mother wasn’t just human, Sophie. She was Luna-blooded. Extremely rare. Powerful enough to break packs...or create unstoppable Alphas. That’s why I married her. That’s why I brought you here.” My stomach dropped. “You... you married her for this?” Damon’s hands wrapped into fists. “Enough. Get the fuck out of my room.” Victor stared at his son for a long moment, then nodded slowly. “Fine. But mark my words, boy, if you claim her fully tonight, there will be consequences. The pack elders will demand answers, and the rival Shadow Pack already knows she’s here.” With one last warning look at me, Victor left, slamming the door behind him. The silence that followed was deafening. I stared at Damon, heart racing. “What did he mean?” Damon turned to me, eyes still glowing. His cock was still hard, angry, and leaking. He looked like an animal. “Later,” he said. “Right now, I need you.” He walked back to the bed like a predator. I should have pushed him away. I should have demanded answers. Instead, when he ripped the sheet off me and spread my legs wide again, I let him. “Damon...” I moaned as he thrust back inside me in one powerful stroke, burying himself till there was nothing left of his dick. The stretch was intense, almost painful, but so fucking good. He fucked me hard and deep, the bed creaking beneath us, his hips slamming against mine with complete desperation. “Mine,” he grunted with every thrust. “This pussy is mine. Say it.” “It’s yours,” I gasped, nails digging into his back. “Fuck... Damon!” He leaned down and bit my neck, right over the spot he’d marked earlier. The pain mixed with pleasure sent me spiraling. I came for the second time, my pussy clenching around his thick cock as he continued pounding into me. But he didn’t stop. His rhythm grew more primal. I felt something changing, the base of his cock swelling, pressing against my entrance with every thrust. “Knot,” he groaned against my neck. “Fuck, Sophie... I’m going to knot you.” I didn’t fully understand what that meant until I felt it, the thick bulge at the base of his cock pushing inside me, stretching me wider than I thought possible. It locked us together as he came with a savage roar, flooding me with hot, endless spurts of cum. The sensation pushed me over the edge again. I screamed his name, shaking violently as another orgasm tore through me. We stayed locked together for what felt like forever, breathing, sweating, connected in the most intimate way possible. Damon’s arms wrapped around me, owning me, his face buried in my neck. After a long while, the knot finally went down. He pulled out slowly, watching with satisfaction as his cum leaked from my swollen pussy. “You’re going to look so fucking good carrying my pup,” he murmured, rubbing his hand over my lower belly. My eyes went wide. “Damon...” He kissed me deeply, almost tenderly this time. Then he pulled back, the look on his face serious now. “You deserve to know the truth. My father brought you here because of your blood. He wants strong heirs. But the bond between us... it’s real. I tried to fight it. That’s why I was such an asshole when you first arrived.” I touched his face, my fingers tracing the sharp line of his jaw. “And the wolves that attacked us?” “Those are rivals. They want your power too.” He hesitated. “There’s more. Your mother....she killed my mother years ago in a pack war. That’s why this bond is so dangerous. It’s cursed by blood.” Oh, lawd. Before I could process that bombshell, a loud crashing sound came from downstairs. The shattering of glasses then growling growling. Damon’s head snapped towards the door. “They’re here. The Shadow Pack. They must have followed your scent.” He jumped off the bed and tossed me my clothes. “Get dressed. Quickly.” I barely had time to pull on my jeans and sweater when the bedroom door was kicked in. Three massive men, clearly werewolves even in their human form, stormed into the room. The leader’s eyes glowed as they landed on me. “There she is. The Luna-blooded girl.” Damon shifted instantly, the big black wolf back into the room with a roar. He attacked the intruders, but they were ready. One of them threw something, a glowing silver net that wrapped around Damon’s werewolf, forcing him to shift back painfully. He collapsed to his knees, veins bulging as the net burned his skin. “Damon!” I screamed. The leader grinned at me. “Come quietly, girl. Or we kill your stepbrother right now.”Chapter 71 Sophie’s POV The sacred ridge had become a battlefield of gods and mortals. The sky above opened more wider, silver and black light pouring through like wounds that just wouldn't stop bleeding. The old bloodlines took vantage points around the ancient altar, and what they were doing there wasn't something that anyone was blind to. There were factions here, and each faction had their own purpose. Shadows came out of the chasm behind the altar, turning into creatures faster than we could destroy them. I stood in the center with Damon on one side and Lucas strapped securely to my chest. The family bond glowed between us, but with the pressure that we were getting from the Convergence, I could feel the strain. A lot of things were happening, you know. My kid didn't want the gods to take him and I didn't want him gone from my sight either. Damon was saying something to me. When I paid attenti
Third POV Let's go back to the beginning, before the moon had learned to behave itself and the stars were still arguing about their seating arrangement, the Cosmos decided it was time to throw a party. Not a normal party, mind you, this was the kind of cosmic bash where the invitations were written in pure primordial essence and the dress code was "try not to unravel reality." The Cosmos, feeling particularly full of himself after a long nap that lasted several eternities, decided to create the first gods to help manage the newly formed world. His thought, what could possibly go wrong with creating helpers? The problem started with the guest list. The Cosmos invited the Void, that grumpy, endless neighbor who never brought snacks and always complained about the noise. The Void showed up late, wearing nothing but shadows and a bad attitude, and immediately started eating the first course, which, in this case, were the first sparks of cre
Sophie’s POV The sacred ridge was strangely quiet in the after it was all over. I laid on the broken stone altar, my body feeling like some empty vessel, as if a piece of my soul had been taken right out of me. The Devourer had taken something important, a fragment of my golden essence, and the loss was so loud through the bond like a missing limb. Lucas was still close to me, and his small fingers ever finding their way around my shirt. “Mommy.. hurt?” he said sotto voce. A faint golden-red spark tried to flow from him into me, but it was weak and unstable. I brushed his dark curls back, and forced a tired smile. “Mommy’s okay, baby. Just tired. You were so brave.” Damon knelt beside us, his large hand covering both of ours. I could see that he felt guilty of what has just happened. “Sophie, you shouldn’t have done that. You gave up too much.” I reached up and touched his
Sophie’s POV Lucas’s scream was like a blade through my heart. Tearing through all the vital vessels and what have you. Sharper than any blade that had ever been made to puncture flesh and blood. The tendril had pierced his small chest, and immediately, dark energy spread like poison across his glowing skin. The family bond, the bright, warm connection that had held us together through everything, snapped like the sound of a dry twig under the heavy boots of some reckless drifter in the woods, and that left an emptiness in my soul that was only filled with one thing. Screaming. Go figure. I moved forward, golden energy exploding from my hands as I tried to burn the tendril away. But the Devourer’s power was too strong. It pulled back, dragging my son toward its maw, just like it has done to me a couple of months back. Only this time, I wasn't the one who was being dragged. It was my ch
Sophie’s POVThe sacred temple ruins stood silent under a blood-red moon as we arrived at the heart of the Convergence. The old bloodlines had gathered in their numbers, hundreds of figures from The Forgotten, The Eternal Watch, The Silent Veil, and newer factions who felt like they should matter. Well, to me they didn't matter. They had come for my son, something that I didn't want happening. So why the fuck should they even matter to me? Their energies were all over the place, in the air like storm clouds, violet, silver, and black like void swirling together in uncomfortable alliance.Was pretty sure they didn't like themselves, but just because they all wanted the same thing, they'd have to play ball. Lucas clung to my neck, his small body was shaking against me. I knew he didn't like the setting and didn't want to be here, close to all these things. That was something that I could relate to as well. At ten months old, he understood far too much. “Mommy, they want me,” he whisper
Sophie’s POVThe world went black, then it all came rushing back to me like a dam, snapping right back with a lot of brutality behind it. I woke on the cold stone of the altar, my body aching as if every bone had been broken then reassembled again. Lucas was still strapped to my chest, his breathing shallow but steady. The family bond was weak between us, a bit damaged, but not broken. As if it was some machine. “Damon?” I croaked, pushing myself up.He lay a few feet away, blood pooling beneath him, his black wolf form slowly shifting back to human as if it had finally lost its strength to be anything by human. I crawled to him, and shook his shoulder. “Damon, wake up. Please.”His silver eyes opened, and I didn't need a picture with a bright eyes and a pen light to tell me they were filled with pain. “Sophie.. Lucas?”“He’s okay. We’re all okay. For now.”The sacred ridge looked like someone had thrown a grenade launcher there. Craters smoked where the Devourer’s power had struck.

Sophie’s POVThe safe house was a small cabin buried deep in the northern woods, far from Silverpine Ridge. We arrived just as the sun rose, painting the sky in soft pinks and oranges. I hadn’t slept. Every mile away from Damon felt like another piece of my heart being torn out.The rebel elder, wh
Sophie’s POVThe east wing was now chaotic. Wolves from both sides collided in a storm of fangs and claws. The elder who had spoken against Victor led the charge, his wolf had silver fur and he slammed into Victor’s loyalists with years of pent-up fury. The pack was tearing each other apart and no
