Victoria’s POV

Makarius sat up quickly, his eyes wide with disbelief. What? He can’t do that. I mean, I will fight him, but he’s half my brother.

For a moment, anger flashed across his face, mixed with something deeper, maybe even fear. His jaw tightened, his hands clenched into fists as he looked away, struggling with what he had just heard.

He cursed under his breath, then hung up without another word.

“Tell me what’s going on," I asked while putting on my robe.

  • TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE LUNA   The living and the dead

    Thalia’s POVMakarius is my biological father, but for most of my life, he wasn't there for me. I grew up with Cadmus, my mother's mate, who raised me as his own and was always by my side. Makarius is working hard to get to know me better, but I still feel anger about being discarded. Makarius even blamed me for what happened to her, but it wasn't truly my fault, and he was under the influence of my grandmother's spells. Part of me wants to let him in and be the father he is supposed to be. Still, Cadmus will always be my first father, the one who held me, comforted me, and protected me. I will never love Makarius the same way I love Cadmus.Thalia, Lucien brought me back from my thoughts. Are you ready to talk to me?Yeah, let’s walk. What do you want to know?Everything, how you contain your gift… I don’t know yet how to do this. My gift lets me slip between worlds, like a door opened inside my mind, but I haven’t learned how to control where or when it happens. Sometimes I find mys

  • TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE LUNA   You knew?

    Cadmus’s POVShe teased me for a while, leaving me wanting more, then another girl came in. Her hands were touching my chest, and the masked woman was still licking my cock, and I was so fucking turned on. I wanted Victoria.The woman left her sheer top and her lace panties on; she teased the top of my cock over her panties.Oh hell, I’m going to go insane. Why am I so attracted to her? I grabbed her and pulled her on top of me.With my hands on her ass, I slid in and stopped. This feels familiar. I lifted her shirt and licked her nipple as the other girl was licking the other. I growled. What the fuck was in that drink?Her hips moved slowly, she took my hand and put it on the other girl's breast. Too big; I didn’t like it. My cock was about to explode, but she was enjoying it, and then she said my name more like whispered.Am I imagining Victoria? My guilt is playing tricks. My strokes were deep as I grabbed her hips possesively. Her body arched, and I bit gently on her nipple, my b

  • TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE LUNA   Bachelor party

    Cadmus’s POVGoing back to the Tatra pack, I felt at ease for the first time. The tension that always sat heavy on my shoulders loosened, as if the weight of past betrayals and endless caution had finally started to slip away. There was a strange warmth in my chest, a quiet certainty that we were all right, that we were safe together. Makarius, finding his mate finally, I got to trust him a little more. For so long, I'd watched him with suspicion, waiting for him to stumble or crumble, but now it was as if a small wall between us had quietly fallen. Thinking back on all this, it is amazing how far we have come. It took me so long to heal her wounds, her heart wounds. Seeing her beside me now, her hand holding mine tightly as she looked outside the window, made something unravel inside me—gratitude, relief, a sense of home I never thought I would feel again.Cadmus, she said, I feel old. I laugh at her sentence.Victoria, if you’re old, I’m ancient, and my love, we don’t age like the r

  • TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE LUNA   Hathor

    Cadmus’s POVVictoria’s bruises and cuts were healing perfectly fine. I watched her sleep peacefully, and I thought that I could not rest until that woman was dead. I had murderous thoughts, yeah, and would be the only punishment I could think of right now.I got up and went into the shower, my thoughts still scrambled. I need to figure out how to tell her I’m going hunting, can’t lie to her…the door opened, and Victoria stepped in.My love, I said, kissing her lips, trying to kill me, as my hands touched her beautiful body.Cadmus, I can hear you thinking, how about I take your mind off, she said, touching my already hard cock.I didn’t need to pursue more; my hands turned into an octopus on her, one between her legs, even though I smelled her arousal.Between the kisses, I asked her if she was sure; her arms were still healing. She only responded by touching me more, setting a fire inside of me. I lifted her as her legs wrapped around me and slammed into her hard. I missed her body

  • TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE LUNA   It still hurts

    Cadmus’s POVVictoria was asleep on my shoulder as the driver was taking us back to the pack. Lucien, in the front seat, turned to me.Cadmus, let me know when you’re ready to hunt, and I will help you.Lucien, your mother wants to kill you. We need to keep you safe. Now, I’m curious about your abilities. Have you ever used it?I did not know I was capable of doing this. Maybe someone can help me.Thalia has similar abilities. Her guardian spirit, named Blue, appeared when she was little, but she still can’t control it. Guardian spirits are supernatural entities that connect with certain individuals, granting them unique powers and guidance, though learning to use these abilities takes time and practice.Maybe I should talk to her, Cadmus?Yes, I agree, maybe you have something in common. Victoria was making a groaning noise.My love, are you in pain? Of course, I knew she was. I pulled out a pill and placed it in her mouth, then gave her a bottle of water. I ran my hand over her face

  • TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE LUNA   I want to go home

    Makarius’s POVCome here, I told Hannah, taking her into my arms. Did you miss me?Her eyes locked on mine. I did, she said, smiling. What a beautiful smile, and I had to kiss her lips.Makarius, I am all for tradition, and I know you’re my mate, but…I won’t, kiss me, I need some fuel, I joked.You do? Her lips were so red. Tell me more about yourself.I will tell you everything, because this had to start with honesty. My mother had a plan, but I didn’t know about it until later. Looking for my mate, I met Victoria. Then I launched the story.Her face went from shock to terror, and she ended up crying.You can reject me if you want, I would understand, I told her.Makarius, I waited all my life for my fated mate, you won’t get rid of me that easily…and my lips crashed on hers. She pulled away. I do have a question, though. Do you still love her?My body stiffened. A wave of guilt swept over me, because part of me still missed the way things used to be. I won’t lie to you, yes, but my
